I agree. Late thirties is a diff ballgame to get lean
It should be easier. Have a look at all the Lifetime Natural Competitors in their late 30s and early 40s, have a look at people in their mid 40s like Kane Sumabat aka Timbahwolf, have a look at heyzeus909 aka Mountain Man and on and on. If its not easier, you are doing something wrong. Methinks you never properly trained in the first place and just relied on steroids your whole life.
You look like you don`t know what you are doing in the gym Sevatese.
This is Lifetime Natural Kane Sumabat in his mid 40s.
