How's you hematocrit?  High red blood cell counts can result serious in heart conditions. My doctor tests for it. Because mine had become borderline high, he lowered my test dosage.

45 years old..
Herniated disk and other nagging injuries.. etc...
Been doing more cardio now and very light weights just for toning purposes.
Still have about 20lbs to loose. Been cutting back on fast-food.
Have noticed losing weight has helped me with my back problem as well as sleeping better at night.

All bodyweight. 45 years old is the critical decision point for any bodybuilder. Jacked and 200lbs+ and die early or trt with a Bruce Lee physique and still enjoy the lifestyle. We all have a small Hyundai compact engine for a heart. Just how the heart is made. Put that engine in a Ford F150 supercrew it lasts SIGNIFICANTLY less years than putting the engine in a dinky hybrid. Lifestyle vs longevity....will be part of bodybuilding forever. Its that little dirty secret of longevity no bodybuilder wants to accept......ITS BODYWEIGHT.

”My doctor” you’re a sheep. I’m at the 5 gallon mark with blood donation and my doctor wasn’t the one who told me to donate.

I'm 60 now and have lost most of my old pride about my body.
I still work out , but I couldn't care less about strict diets, or what others think .
I was 38 , when I last competed, so wtf, maybe I can relate to you?

Here's the deal : You're about to enter a new chapter in your physical life.
On the bad side, you peak physical shape is beyond you for good.
On the good side, you'll gradually become more concerned with basic health indicators (* cholesterol, BP, kidney and liver levels, etc).

If you deal with those on a moderate, consistent level, getting older should be a wonderful time.
You stop caring about silly competitive crap and enjoy life on YOUR terms.

Good luck and happy sailing  ;)

Hope your mental health is in check, don’t want you following your fathers footsteps.

Since it can be a forewarning of a possible stroke or heart attack. You'd think more doctors would automatically include testing for it when doing labs.

Times change. There's a lot of ways to be big, not all of them are physical. Someone can be emotionally or intellectually big.

Absolutely not. However, the Gossip and Opinion forum is the most highly trafficked of all the forums on Getbig and a lot of what's posted in it has nothing to do with bodybuilding. The Political forum is the next most active forum and it has almost nothing to do with bodybuilding. The combined forums which directly relate to weight training related topics have comparatively very little traffic.

It makes sense when you see how many of our brethren have died since the inception of the forum.

I'd rather be lean, trim and healthy @ 50 than maintain the size and die early like nasser et al (pip  :'( )

I'm 51. Look 30 and feel 18.

Exercise, eat right, don't drink much or do drugs and you'll be fine. Getting old is a myth.

Same. I don't see the need to go balls to the wall anymore. Probably didn't need to in the first place, come to think of it. hahaha

The main way to "decrease" the aging process and staying healthy, is to decrease the amount of stress in your life.

Stress is probably the number one factor related to aging and a number of diseases.

Why does everyone who is in their late 30 and early 40's think they are old?  You should be able to do 95% of what you could do in your early 20's both aerobically and strength wise. If you never pushed yourself in your early 20's you might find yourself hitting personal records in your early 40's.  Sprinting speed goes down in your 40's no doubt. The big drop for most people happens around 55.  This is when a guy chimes in who can't run around a block without passing out says he had his best deadlift at 55. 

i agree. i am around the corner from 36 and doing amazing

you already know what i am going to say
hot yoga many times a week
prolonged fasting (36 hours ideally 1x per week) i do not believe IF is that effective compared to prolonged fasting

I believe stress is the key factor. Keep stress to a minimum. Enjoy life, its a short time we have here and you should spend doing the things you enjoy. Its great to think about the future, but none of that is guaranteed.
