What age is a man at his peak physical strength?
« on: December 03, 2014, 01:56:14 AM »
I've read that at 22 a man is pretty much in his physical prime...but the strongest powerlifters are usually in their 30's and 40's. so what gives?

For you guys who've been training for decades, what  age were your weights at their peak?

Depends on the circumstances, the individual and the type of strength sport in question.
Olympic weightlifters for instance tend to peak in their mid 20's.

Natural: 27-33 depending on training, lifestyle, and genetics.  Drugs can increase that by several years.

That's  only because their   joints are gone.

If enhanced who knows

Levrone was doing 500 pound bench presses like it was nothing in his late 30's

The coach supposedly did 500+ max in his 40's???

good point,theres no way on earth i woulda been stronger at 40 than i was at 23-25 if it wasnt for the drugs, thats why i have nothing negative to say about anyone who is my age and does HRT. i mean who doesnt want better quality of life? better sex drive?feel happier ect? id rather live to 75 feeling happy and vibrant than live to 80 and look like an extra for the movie NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, im not saying test shortens life span im just saying

I would say for power in the twenties and early 30's. For strength right into the 40's.

I am 48 and haven't noticed any strength loss, endurance yes, but as far as being able to push max weight for a few reps, hasn't decreased yet

Being able to work hard all day, def can't do that like I used to- logging, roofing, helping somebody move a lot of stuff all day long .... again, endurance not there, but I can still do a decent max dead lift or bench or help move a piano or sleeper sofa- just need to go a little slower with the moving

strength takes time to build up

so probably not early 20's

between 30-40 sounds right

At this rate, Flintstones will be in his early 30's when he's 70 years old, so I think that he might be going downhill by then.

I think everybody is different. I'm at my peak strength wise at the current age of 30, but it's definitely been around a certain range since 27 or so and creeps up slower than molasses and can disappear with a blink of an eye if I go on vacation or get sick. Having said that, I injected my first ever cc of test 2 days ago haha

I think 31-40. I see many men in their mid 30's who are stronger than people in their 20's, and the guys in their 30's just looked like they walked in a gym that day. Obviously, this would not be the case if the guy in his mid 20's is on gear. Muscle maturity goes a long way.

Endurance peaks at about 20-21, stength around 25-27, and functional strength around 30 ish.
