When does the inevitable decline start?

I like to think as myself as someone who has only gotten better with age. I'm 28 and looking back at pictures of me when I was 23 it's quite shocking. We're 4 months into 2016 and I've already smashed my entire 2015 PRs for both 5K and 10K. I'm faster, stronger, and more dedicated than I've ever been in my life.

I plan on progressing for the foreseeable future but at some point father time is going to show up and it will be an uphill battle that I'll continue to fight.

You stop aging by improving yourself.

Improve yourself through training.

You can start by not being an alcoholic and nearly drinking yourself to death like that guy did. That's why he aged like shit.
>>
>>72281711
That guy's problem is mostly weight-gain and not adopting a better hairstyle as he got older. He could shed the weight and get a better haircut and look fine.

But around 30, shit goes downhill pretty fast if you let it. You just have to hit the gym, stay fit, don't eat garbage, and stay off drugs and alcohol.
>>
That pic is due to severe alcohol abuse, not ageing.

>>72281711
certain things are worse for the body than others.

of course keep in shape. eat right and exercise. keep drinking to a minimum.

but things like masturbation are also age accelerators. masturbation destroys people and breeds obsessions and desire. most heartbreak can be avoided by someone who does not masturbate because they have overcome desire. most guys who are "heartbroken" are just jerkoffs glamourizing their bad habit and making excuses for themselves.
>>
>When does the inevitable decline start?

When they deny that they're getting older and try to hang on to the styles and mindsets of their youth.

Essentially the decline begins when they try to stop aging.

father time is unbeaten you're going to age no matter what

but you're still a relatively young adult. The difference in your late 20's/early 30's and your hs/college years is that if you want a good body you actually have to take care of yourself. Eat well, sleep right, lay off the drugs, don't go tanning, and get your exercise.

Hair is mostly genetic though.

Naw, not if you are actually good looking and mpve somewhere warm before you hit you e0's. The warm part literally goes for anyone though.

No, the difference is whether or not you've accomplished your undergrad before 30. If you haven't, you will age faster.

Is there any science about masturbation and aging? Cuz I've been doing it twice a day for like ten years, (turning 26 tomorrow) and it seems to help lower stress and desire. Sometimes I'll get too busy or my dick hurts from fapping so much, and I can't take it after a day or two I literally just think about sex every second of the day and want to fuck everything. I'm a virgin too so this doesn't help.

I think fapping help.

I have hipster chicks hit on me all the time, to them I'm an anomaly, I'm a strong man in a sea of pussies. Ofocurse I dont fuck them, who knows what kind of diseases their pussies be harboring. Funny thing most of these hipsters look up to me, I'm like the father they never had. I dunno man, men like us hard to find in this world. That's why we're so valuable.
>>
>>72283863
well many people have differing opinions and there are contrary conclusions regarding the matter.

I stopped masturbating around 26. prior to that i did it on average maybe a few times a week, give or take. what stopped me from doing it every day was the shame it evoked and the feeling of wasting away.

now i have not ejaculated in months. sometimes i have wet dreams if i eat the wrong food, but people who say masturbation is a must are lying. there is the inner voice saying it is necessary but after a period of 3 years where your body adapts to retaining the semen, you do not desire to ejaculate as much. this translates into dreams as well, so in dreams you don't ejaculate.

most ancient cultures saw semen as sacred and vitalizing. in western culture the german boys were considered weak if they lost their virginity because the seed was a source of inner strength.

if the body keeps having to reproduce semen it saps vitality. think about it. the semen is powerful enough to create life so to have to constantly restore it means that the body must dedicate resources to it.

since semen has many lipids in it, it saps the brain of health. i think baldness may be exacerabted by masturbation, as well as intelligence, health and general well being.

some also say that the habitual motor movements develop lisps, asymetrical posture and other negative physical consequences, including homosexuality. think about it, is there any homosexual who does not masturbate? of course not, because homosexuals are addicted to penises. they love theirs so much they just want to suck other men's, that's all.

research studies won't confirm what i say because scientists and pop culture hates the truth. jerkoffs don't want to admit the truth. i was once a jerkoff and do not condescend. all i am is a voice of experience. take with it what you want.

people hate me for saying the truth, but the truth is the truth and the more people it angers the more power it has.

Generally you'll get more attractive though in the 30's as you'll look more mannish, but you'll also start to notice that your not in your 20's anymore and things will start to ache or you'll take forever to recover from a workout or having a few drinks...aging sucks total balls
>>
>>72282750
Are you gay ?
>>
>>72285268
no i just know the responses from experience. it gets people mad when they have to consider the possibility of denying something that gives them pleasure. it also angers people to admit that they have a weakness. for example circumcised men get angry if led to believe circumcision makes them less complete or is unnecessary. I know this for a fact because i am circumcised and used to feel that way. this is a sign of ego. that's all. ego does not want to admit any weakness.

but the facts are facts. there is a reason i haven't masturbated for nearly a decade. obviously i noticed some benefit.

if you choose to continue, it is your loss.

but one consequence of compulsive masturbation is impotence. fyi

>>
>>72285702
well it is not "just a bit of protein" if it has the power to create life.

modern science does not know everything. each seed contains a complex system of DNA and only 1 and no more fertilizes an ovum.

so no, it is not "just a bit of fucking protein" if you CHOOSE to BELIEVE that there is no value to the seed unless it fertilizes an egg that is your choice. it is up to you.

>>
>>72286049
but keep in mind that homosexuals and retarded sex offenders also compulsively masturbate, but that the greatest minds in human history NEVER masturbated.

masturbate a little? ok, that is 'average' masturbate more than average? that's, we can all admit 'a perv' compulsively masturbate? that's some kind of lunatic or retard. right?

well then what of these mysterious people who do not ever masturbate? what secret do they have that they are not telling? think about that...

if you still have the brain to do so. god willing. good luck.
>>
>>72286049
well it is not "just a shitpost" if it has the power to trigger people.

modern science does not know everything. each post contains complex thoughts and sentence structures and only 1 and no more triggers a normie.

so no, it is not "just a fucking shitpost" if you CHOOSE to BELIEVE that there is no value to the post unless it triggers a retard that is your choise. is it up to you.
>>
>>72286344
well of course you can try to impress yourself and others with what you think is a witty comeback. but you're still, just like the retards and homosexuals, a jerkoff.

whereas the REAL men of history never sank so low. so go on getting mad at my posts and prided yourself on playing with your penis until it squirts its "just a little protein" go ahead. have fun over these next few decades until you turn into an old gay man who is found dead in his apartment dressed in lingerie and wrapped in plastic wrap, or some other variation on that theme.

When I did mushrooms for the first time (and only time), I had this idea about aging that if you constantly put your body in a state of healing then you could stave off the physical aspects of getting older.

As to how to do that...I don't know. But i mean, it makes sense. You constantly damage and heal your muscles when you work out, and the result is increased muscle density and mass. I recently read that damaging hair follicle in a certain pattern will trigger a healing response in mice and have the hair grow back fuller and thicker than before.

If you could trigger a body wide healing effect that goes down to the cellular level, you could do things like rebuild collagen, elastin, etc. etc.

This guy has a good blog on anti-aging/male fitness http://roguehealthandfitness.com/

Also don't worry so much about aging it will make things worse. Look up near death experiences, had a few myself on surgeries gone bad. I think there's stuff on the other side and no matter how horrible your life is there's some purpose to it.

this guy knows what's up.

you can look good well into your 40's and beyond if you eat right and exercise - but don't kid yourself that you look like you're in your 20's.

you're also going to have less margin for error and these things will consume more and more of your time.

people that talk about 'best shape of their lives' at 35... 40... 45... they are that way because they are putting in a lot more effort than they were at 25. it's not their magic genes.

There are plenty of real men in NYC.
Just who the fuck think runs and maintains the infrastructure.
But like all real men, they are invisible to women unless they have assets a woman can consume.

Incorrect. Actually regular ejaculation is needed to prevent prostate cancer. Masturbation is physiologically important for men, though not women.

>33 here

You'll still be able to put up numbers and get faster for a while yet. The only thing you start to notice in your early thirties is recovery time from injuries. Nothing serious but little niggles take longer to clear up. For example, sometimes I get some elbow tendon pain from benching if I go too heavy to quick, Back in my twenties, this would go away within a day, maybe two. Now, it might take a week to clear. Your body still works at prime efficiency but it starts to fray around the edges a teeny little bit into your thirties.

A couple things you need to remember:

1. Physiological age does not necessarily equal calendar age. Usually it does but there's always some variation.
2. The mind over matter thing. Humans are the only species able to consciously realize that they're getting old. Animals age, but not the same way as humans because they're not aware of it. For example, a dog will always be a dog no matter what age he is, but human society dictates what behaviors and lifestyles are and aren't acceptable for your age. Therefore your lifestyle at 80 will be very different from your lifestyle at 20 because society has somewhat arbitrarily decided that 80 year olds are supposed to do X, but not Y and 20 year olds are supposed to do X but not Y.

As Satchel Paige said, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was?"

Anyway, he's partially right that at least some effort is needed to work to stay /fit/. It's very, very easy to live life on autopilot until you wake up at 80 and you need a cane to walk around and you complain all your friends are dead and you don't know what music is cool nowadays because you tuned out the world after 30.

I've been saying this for years but for some reason people just never fucking listen so I'll say it again: BUY AN OVEREXPRESSION TELOMERASE RETRO/LENTI/ADENO VIRUS. They sell them online premade for ~$500 a pop. Adeno is more effective but isn't permanent, retro/lenti is less effective (need regular dosing over a long period of time) but is permanent.

>inb4 enjoy your cancer
If it caused cancer I'd have died years ago, correlation does not prove causation.

At the end of the day, I believe in an ideal world, people would simply be euthanized at 70. If all 80-90 year olds could be Betty White or Clint Eastwood, fine. Sadly, most are not and never will be.

>step 1: not be white

Seriously, even the most well-kept white person will age worse than the laziest black person.

Why does aging happen?
When a cell divides, are the divisions not perfect copies of the original?
Does the cell "know" how old it is, or is aging simply the result of tiny imperfections during cell reproduction, compounded over the years?

If you abstain from vice, eat healthy, exercise, don't get too stressed out, then you can delay aging.

Aging is also based on genetics. Like how people can easily gain muscle mass and have the potential to get a sculpted body, some people are just genetically predetermined to age slowly. Asians, for instance, seem to age slowly, but the aging accelerates once they hit an arbitrary age (like 50s-70s)--it's as if they've been placed in a food dehydrator and they just shrivel up in less than 5 years after hitting that magic number.

But you never stop aging. It's one of life's certainties.

Men only should be worried about the physical deterioration.

Telomeres.

They also don't age mentally passed 10, I think it's a fair trade-off

once you hit 30 you are fucked and should start focusing on your progeny rather than yourself

Here's a video explaining telomeres/telomerase
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJNoTmWsE0s

What the video doesn't mention is that telomerase isn't active in somatic cells (the cells of your body) and is only normally expressed in sex cells (eggs/sperm). It also doesn't mention that as telometric repeats decrease the cell starts to enter senescence (starts acting like an older cell) and that various experiments have shown that introducing telomerase into 'old' cells with few telometric repeats increases the number of repeats and causes them to act like 'young' cells again.

What a telomerase virus would do is insert an extra gene for telomerase expression into your DNA with a promoter (DNA code that controls how/when genes are expressed and made into protein) that would force your somatic cells to make it constantly which would delay/prevent/reverse several aspects of the aging process.

Most of the decent info on telomerase can be found on pubmed.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=telomerase+aging

Unfortunately most scientists are bitter pricks who love to go over their articles with a thesaurus before publishing to obfuscate their work as much as possible, so these articles aren't exactly light reading material.

As long as you act/dress your age, I don't see too many problems with getting older. Obviously once your health starts to decline, things go to shit, but you've still got a lot of time OP

As if you can't grow old gracefully. Roger Waters is in his 70's, just got better with age.
