The best shape I ever was in was twice between 26-27, was at about 13% bf back then, by getbig standards still fat but in decent shape, it was easier back then.

So Affy is a Bergbauanbua?

Organic eggs and beef all day.

Hast english studiert "diseid" oder kennst dich so guat aus?

[GroinkTropin]

Really for me it is easier, when i was young i was always holding water and had alot of babyfat.
now i am 31, and seem to have more quality.
it is just that your body is now fully grown, when you are 22 /23 you can still grow a bit.
the metabolism is a bit slower, i actualy like this... I do not have to overeat to gain weight.
you do not need the same food as you did when in you early twenties.
eat a litlle less, less carbs...
a lot of people just eat to much.

I agree completely- at 30 I have an easier time gaining or losing weight.

Wait till you're in your 40s ...  but really it's all in the prep ..   make the time, and the stress will decrease ...  You'll see .

also when you get older i feel my body likes the carb's less and less....
when you just eat a little less, and less carb's you will be fine.
it's not like if you turn a certain age a switch get pulled and you change overknight.
just adjust your diet along the way, and you will be in great shape.
also, switch to short esters! way better.... (for the druggies among us).

[Meso_z]

lol...I cant even imagine being in my 30's with a family and such.. and "dieting". 

[slacker]

I agree with this. I am 31 too, the quality is much better than anything i had 8-10 years ago.

Back then i ate clean all the time, much higher carbs and protein (Which i think i overdid now). Now i eat less of them but eat more junk and i stay as lean as i could be. Have more energy too.

Considering the quality i have now makes me at 21 look kinda fat (even when lean) i can imagine the same would happen at 41 to 31. Quality is awesome.

Once again, i agree completely. Younger, i ate much more carbs. Now i eat some oatmeal for breakfast (fuck all really) and that's it. I do eat some good fats like Egg Yolks and Macadamia nuts with each meal. I eat clean but when i feel i need it, i eat junk. Whether it be once a day or once every 3 days, i can now feel when i need it. I would really have to eat a lot of junk meal over meal to actually add fat now.

I have noticed my skin is thinner which is great for quality/conditioning but i seem to cut myself more easily.

[James28]

Nope, still easy as shit for me. I'm 31 next month and fat just melt off me when I want it to and gains are still easy. To be honest, I've carefully been paying attention to my body since I turned 30 and there's been NO change whatsoever. Ok ok, I didn't expect things to change over night just because I'm 30 now, but it's still the same for me than even 10 years ago. It's actually better now because I train smarter and my diet is more solid since my life has become more settled and easy. Age, just a number.

Yeah, the fat melts off me as well at the moment. 

[bladerunner]

Yes, same here.

agreed...

Might be the Clen, Tren and HGH though, but who knows.

agree on the thinner skin...
and indeed, whole eggs, meat, whole wheat bread (just a slice here and there) these are my main diet foods.
junk is pizza or fried stuff, gets me nice and full!
sweet stuff like chocolate and sugary stuff makes me sooooo smooth....
i eat four times a day.
i do not need 400 grams of protein, i am just on anabolic steroids now.
when using hgh i do up protein, but not by much.
guess i get about 200 grams a day now.
i do not eat a lot, but maintain my 250 pounds very easily. i think a lot of guys eat to much!
only thing that change now in my 30's is i need my rest, if i do not get my 7/8 hours of sleep i get very tired.

 When I was 16 I was shredded with a washboard stomach just from doing some situps and pushups with no diet.

 Now I gotta battle for it.

 That's life. The sonner you stop obsessing over your bod the better.

 If you wanna have a great body past 30. Do some steroids.

everybody is not the same....
i never had a washboard when i was in my teens.
only now in my 30's my abs are there.
i know my body better, am more relaxed about everything.

and sure the steroids help, lol!

[wavelength]

It's much easier for me now since I realized I can eat whatever I want.
