Do bodybuilders fear aging more so than others?
« on: December 29, 2017, 10:34:04 AM »
It seems once they reach 35 years old they start referring to themselves as an old man. If I recall correctly, Meadows has been saying he's an old man since his late 30's.

Well they do go to war when in the gym, since they're in the "trenches" doing "battle".

It takes a much bigger toll on you.

Diet is key, especially adequate amount of fats keeps the skin/hair looking very nice, also a quality moisturizer is essential.

Have a look at the Phil Heath thread and the photos of Nasser one year apart. Looks like insulin aged him 15 years in one year.

only speaking for myself but yes, maybe i am afraid of getting old, i am so vain and cherish beauty, good looks and health, i want to have good lifts for the rest of my life but your joints get weaker and your muscles get smaller and your body has a harder time keeping mass. not something i entirely look forward to

High sugar diets in general will age the fuck out of you, regardless if you're on insulin or not, but with using insulin these guys need to consume the carbs to cover it and usually its super sugary stuff they use to combat going hypo.

Though the older we get the less these things matter, except health.

Makes sense as a reason and best explanation I have heard so far. Something about how fast Nasser's face rapidly aged I feel it must be more than excess sugar though. That's part it no doubt but is there some sort of weird chromosome shit going on we don't yet understand?

look at guys from the pre slin eras compared to post slin era, most of those guys from the 70's/80's even early 90's still look damn good. Labrada, Benfatto, Big Louie, Danny Padilla  just a few off the top of my head, still look great.

Some of today's pro's look pretty rough, Centopani, Guy Cisternino, Frank McGrath. These guys look very haggard.

Yes they do you make a good point. Makes me wonder about Gaspari he went wrong big time somewhere along the line, perhaps it was slin? Not saying he looks terrible but when he was young he looked destined to age well, he had one of those youthful faces if you know what I mean but maybe insulin and all that sugary food took him on another path?

Levrone said he's never done insulin,  he looks great. Gaspari looks pretty good,  probably stress from his business aging him more than anything.

What happened to Cisterno? Last I heard he was having major issues with his skin and burns appearing on his body. Must have been DNP he was messing with but I'm not sure?

I don't believe Levrone. No way he tells too many lies about gear use overall for me to believe he never used slin when he was one of the best pros ever. Come on Levrone, start being honest with your audience......we want to know your true cycle sizes.

Steroids will age the hell out of you. These gym rats that have cycled since their teens into their 40's start looking like crap. Especially off cycle.
