I do all it all. Make money, travel the workd with my wife and daughter and train like an animal. That is true "balance".

I applaud you! I will salute you with a weihenstephaner hefe weissbier right now, cheers!!

Many getbiggers should aspire to be like you, instead all they have is the gym, nothing else, no money, no businesses, no lear Jets, Ferrari’s, nothing

Train 3 days a week for an hour you can maintain a good physique.

40 are coming next august, started lifting in 1997. I started in an obscur little gym in the north of France, with home made machine, rusty barbell, the only beautiful piece of equipment were the golden weider plate. Then moved to a powerlifting gym, and i trained there for 7 years, the best years of training, the gym was the second home. Then i moved to Paris, got a family, a stressful night job (cop) and i train on a commercial gym, full of instagram lifter. Maybe i'm bit more lazy when i'm at home and it's time to go to the gym, sometime i just want to stay in the sofa. But when i enter the gym, whether i'm tired or not, the fire ignite like it's 1997, and the instagram lifter are terrified when i do set of 20 with 400 on deadlift, no belt, pause style.

The weight room is the battle ground.

The price, your soul.

I'm mid 30s now, and my interest in going to the gym just seems so lame now. The gym is full of guys from age 20-30 who look great and put a lot of effort in and seem to enjoy it like I used to. Now when I go, I'm like, wtf am I doing here? I can't be bothered anymore. It sucks because I still want to look jacked but reality is, I just find no value in it anymore. I'd rather play with my kid or garden or have a beer with friends.

Bodybuilding is not for everyone. Genetics is everything in bodybuilding. I'm 41 and still bodybuilding and getting in the best shape of my life. I'm the biggest and strongest in my gym, 100% natty. It's genetics

At 34 yr old, its nice to work out 3-4 times per week, but none of that 6 meals bullshit for me any more..............

ilalin · « **Reply #115 on:** February 23, 2018, 09:11:34 AM »

it's true, I do feel better when lifting. I guess, partly it has to do with endorphine release.

Beefjake · « **Reply #116 on:** February 23, 2018, 09:26:35 AM »

42years old now.
Been at it almost 30years. 28 to be exact.

Don't worry about missing a workout anymore but rarely miss two.

Comparing to others my age my condition seems to get better all the time.
Strenghtwise maintaining is easy, bodyfatwise not so but I'll manage.

LittleJ · « **Reply #117 on:** February 23, 2018, 10:58:00 AM »

I was forced due to health reasons, which was 3 years. I only do light walks on the treadmill but no weightlifting. I still use hrt because my meds destroyed my testosterone levels.

Probably 31.:.i still go, and I always have an interest in being stronger and faster..but the extremes are gone..now I’m more concerned with reps at given weights and how far and fast I can run.

Training for a triathlon now..sometimes you just need to be outside

No more extremes?

So sleeping 3 hours a night, not 2?

That’s actually worse than ever! My insomnia now lets me go to sleep immediately, but wake up wide awake an hour later!

I can control it now though, before it was uncontrollable..

Restoril has worked well for me

Yeah, the insomnia has been part of my life since I was around 9 years old..I never chose not to sleep..just happened.

It has gotten better with age, and now medication does work. But admittedly, if I am busy at work or with private business I will go days without my meds just to get ahead of my schedule. But I won’t allow myself to go beyond 3 days. If I went 4 days and had to be hospitalized again, my wife would sew her snatch shut!
