is that every bump and lump becomes a cause for concern. 5-10 years ago, if i got some sort of bump on my neck or in my armpit, I wouldn't really think twice. Now, when something like that happens, I'm on webmd for the entire morning trying to convince myself not to make a doctor's appointment.

Aging sucks, but taking care of yourself and genetics help.
But the point I was trying to make was just that aging brings out a bit hypochondria in us. Or at least in me. I used to always feel like "this will be better by next week." Now, a lot of the time I feel like "can I ignore this? Or maybe I should probably go see somebody about this."

How much weight do you lift on bench, squat, deadlift, just curious?

Half of the stories of people I know (and people I've read about) concerning cancer are variations of "there was this bump that I didn't think was a big deal, but then..." There was a guy on an HGTV show who ended up getting diagnosed and treated for his cancer because SOMEONE WHO WATCHED THE SHOW tweeted him about the lump on his neck. That type of nonchalance is one the most fatal factors concerning cancer. But at the same time, nonmalignant cysts and bumps can happen. You just never know what you're gonna get. :-\

LOL why is that? Because cancer is so rare?

I have a cancer phobia (and basically health anxiety), so I tend to go to the doctor a lot if I feel or think I have something.
I felt a bump on the side of my gum and went to the oral surgeon and it turned out to be nothing.
I likely have "Illness Anxiety Disorder."
Im pretty much just waiting for the day that I get cancer.

NOT AT ALL its top of the food chain mainly because there are so many types of cancer...

Sounds like hypochondria. I believe this is a growing trend.

Hypochondria is no longer in the DSM-IV-TR. It's now called "Illness Anxiety Disorder" in the DSM-V.

Didn't knew that. I remember a highly sensitive ex of mine who prob had it, though she had no problem with smokers in her home :-X

Hypochondriasis: DSM-IV-TR
A. Preoccupation with fears of having, or the idea that one has, a serious disease based on the person's misinterpretation of bodily symptoms.
B. The preoccupation persists despite appropriate medical evaluation and reassurance.
C. The belief in Criterion A is not of delusional intensity (as in Delusional Disorder, Somatic Type) and is not restricted to a circumscribed concern about appearance (as in Body Dysmorphic Disorder).
Illness Anxiety Disorder: DSM-V
A. Preoccupation with having or acquiring a serious illness.
B. Somatic symptoms are not present or, if present, are only mild in intensity. If another
medical condition is present or there is a high risk for developing a medical condition
(e.g., strong family history is present), the preoccupation is clearly excessive or disproportionate.
C. There is a high level of anxiety about health, and the individual is easily alarmed about
personal health status.
D. The individual performs excessive health-related behaviors (e.g., repeatedly checks
his or her body for signs of illness) or exhibits maladaptive avoidance (e.g., avoids doctor
appointments and hospitals).
E. Illness preoccupation has been present for at least 6 months, but the specific illness
that is feared may change over that period of time.
F. The illness-related preoccupation is not better explained by another mental disorder, such
as somatic symptom disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, body dysmorphic

So that's basically the only DSM-5 diagnosis that can't be applied to dj181...

I got my second wind when I was 35-40. I probably looked the best I ever did. All natty too. I didn't begin to notice any physical or hormonal changes until I was about 46.
If you eat right, workout hard and get proper rest you can put off the effects of old age by at least 20-30 years. Most people do not believe I am 51 years old. I suppose I'll eventually get on TRT, but I'm going to wait as long as possible, until it's absolutely necessary.

100% spot on agree.

Theres a guy at my gym who's 88 years old, the guy is in incredible shape, former military guy, eats very healthy his whole life, was big into the Jack Lalane juicing days, he busted out 35 strict pushups yesterday, the whole gym was watching, I'm going to film him next week when he does them again. If you eat right, exercise regularly, keep stress to a minimum, and surround yourself with positive people you can age very well.

my 30s were arguably my best decade.

Wow. I'm a big proponent of threads just going in whatever direction they're meant to go, but I reread my opening post several times and i'm still surprised this turned out to be a "you can still be fit in your 30s/40s/50s" thread. :D ??? :D ???

Yeah 45 ain't no picnic either chief
I'm 38. Feel like 85, though :(

In two weeks I’ll be 48. Don’t feel anything over 30, tops.
Never been drunk (maybe drank one beer in my entire life); never smoked a cigarette; never used any rec drug of any kind; been intensely weight training since age 15 (still progressing in strength); have always gotten eight hours (or damn near) each night; have parents 80 years of age and still rockin’.
Strong, resilient Viking genetics.

I wish I could say that never been drunk. lool. What I'm saying is that takes a guy super strong emotionally to not fall in any trap on this life. Never smoked cigs as well, but I'm booze free now , and it sucks, not a week goes by without thinking of having a few shots..

You look about mid-60s, though. So, congrats. You're at least breaking even.

Yea, but at least we can enter "Masters" competitions. 18yrs ago I never wouldve thought I'd be considering a "masters" competition. (Just realized 18+18=36... Wtf. I'm old enough to be a grandfather, if my oldest daughter [be19 this year] has a baby. What. The. Fuck. ?! How'd that happen?)
-
almost 61, feel like a young kid still. oldest guy in my gym, working out with a 29 year old juiced up stud. most days I can still kick his ass because of the pace I keep. he goes I go, no rest between sets. my pace kills guys. (lol)
but I lifted like this for years, 50 minutes for my workout. drenched in sweat. of course the juiced up kid lifts more than me on most lifts, but on some lifts I can kick his ass.
TRT is the answer boys. I always happy, always with a song in my head, smiling, laughing busting balls.
quit drinking about three months ago, only a 4 ounce glass of red wine every other day. best think I have done for myself.
-
Just realized 18+18=36... Wtf. I'm old enough to be a grandfather
in my mind... an ideal grandfather age is exactly 72 yrs old, lol

At 55 I’m training just as hard if not harder than I was when I was in my 20’s just not nearly as heavy and my recovery isn’t that far off. I’ve been on and off gear since I was in my late teens just came off last week until April. Blood work has always been good with the exception of hereditary elevated cholesterol but never had to take meds for it. Granted, I was blessed with good family genetics, no cancers, no heart disease and longevity on the moms side.
But I feel like shit when I come off.

I thought it was 35. A counselor at my last rehab (nov'16) said i needed a goal& I should compete in a Masters Physique show following my bday a cpl months away, as I was turning 35 Jan 2017. I'd completely forgotten about masters divisions at the time.
(This girl also competed in physique shows. Fucken gorgeous chic who looked like a curved/thicker Gina Allioti. Could have been her twin fucking sister... same face, same smile, same dimples, same eyes, and same dark super curly, spiral-curled hair. Just thicker thighs, rounder ads, bigger blobs, and thicker torse/shoulders/arms (she was a physique girl after all, not figure or bikini.)

I get a little paranoid about health. Dad died back in 1985 at age 47 (diabetes, heart disease, leg amputated, etc).
Brother died last AUG age 47 of cancer. Dad's 9 siblings all died before age 50 (heart attacks, cancer), except for 2 of them.
Ma's family all lived well into their 90's (her parents, aunts, etc) so I have 1/2 a chance. At least I made it to 51 so far :D
At least my colonoscopy just came up clean. Currently waiting on blood test results for Lynch Syndrome, basically its a marker for those prone to colon cancer. My sister tested positive, hopefully I dont, otherwise my kids will need to be checked, fun getting old :)

first you care about every little lump.
as years pass by, after realizing there is no way out, you stop and start enjoying life again.

I'm nearly 40, most ppl can't believe it. No alcohol except on good occasion, no smoking, drug etc.
Most of my coworker and drinking and smoking on a daily basis, they are 30 and are washed up.

How do you look when you come off for a couple of months? I know most aside from physically losing it feel depressed, nervous and somewhat feeble feeling. Hormones are powerful agents and many don't realize they not only influence the body but the mind.

My psychiatrist told me just yesterday that I didn`t look like I was 62.
I told her that alcohol was a preservative!! :D

You're mentally weak.
... And "feels 30" but looks 60.

I might lose about 10-12lbs and get a little softer. I'll be a little less motivated to do certain things but I adjust fairly quickly. I've never been an advocate of high doses believing in smaller doses for longer periods of time as opposed to using large doses for a short time. By doing that I've always retained more muscle without losing much when coming off instead of just flat out "deflating" like most do.

Actually, I feel pretty good. Best shape of my life, all life goals achieved, no stress. Felt a lot older and stressed out 10 years ago.
