Do 35+ year old bodybuilders fear aging?
« on: May 08, 2017, 10:38:05 AM »
Ever see how some of these guys are always talking about their age and reminding everyone they're "old men"? Same goes for fitness You Tubers. Jason Blaha and Lui Marco were talking about being 40 for ages.

35-42 by my guesstiomation can be prime years for a bodybuilder............. ...sometimes even older depending on the individual.

It sure seems steroids ages guys. Look at the faces of juicers. They don't look youthful.

I was in great shape in my early 30s, (had visible~ripped abs from my teens up to 34-35) but i did fear aging a bit (how i would look 40+) when i was 35 and lo and behold, the physique turned to shit in my 40s!

i sure didnt peak in my 40s i tell ya that!

Lots of reasons though, if i took care of my body better and didnt react the way i did to all the personal tragedies, deaths etc im sure i would have trained more and thought more about what i was eating.

Too bad you are unmotivated and destined to be a fat mess posting on a bb board. 

Sucks to be you

No


Being a true gb'er as well as alpha male type A1

I have only gained in strength, knowledge , and wealth - I am 34, never married , no kids - live on my own(not common in US anymore)


A true man realizes these  are the sweet nectars he needs to harvest from life and each is gained everyday if you follow Alpha calling


As I get older I just worry about myself WHEN IM OLDER
Hopefully i die of a heart attack - but mental health is a huge concern to me as of lately

Not fear but dread. Knowing that no matter how long you can prolong it. No matter how much you fight the good fight. No matter how far ahead of others you are in your age group. No matter how long you can last ... in the end you will lost. You will get weak and frail. You will be applauded that even though you need someone to push you in a wheel chair so you can still hit in the gym you will still know that you're just desperately hanging on.

There's nothing wrong with that. Maybe even something noble. I plan to fight to the bitter end. But there is an end and there's nothing you can do about it.

I don't fear something that will happen no matter what I do. You just have to accept it. But you don't have to like it. The difference in my body in terms of functional ability has degraded so much in the last twenty years. There is no way on Heaven and Earth I could maintain for even a few days the daily protocol I routinely did on a daily basis.

Age can be more a feeling than anything else. Don't let a number dictate to you, it only means waht you make it mean. There are plenty of young looking 60 year olds and also older looking 25 year olds. So much comes down to mentality and what you nurture and encourage inside your mind.
