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.
>>36938334
JUST
I started lifting at 23
I'm 29 now and I can already feel my strenght decreasing slowly over time.
>tfw regressive under load instead of progressive overload
I've tried eating more and improving routine but i just gain fat and the strenght keeps slowly going down.
I'm starting see now what all the 30-40 year olds talk about when they say we have it good in our 20s
I think I might be immortal or a vampire, I haven't aged a day since I was 16 and I'm 28 now
>>36938334
25 is the average for males.
Hairline (widows peak or balding) is a general first sign and it's hard to find a man in his twenties without a widows peak.
Next noticeable thing is longer to recover from general stress.
Eventual injury that puts you out of your workout zone for a few months.
You may recover, but it's never 100% and you realize you remember being 18 and breaking a foot and just laughing it off like it was nothing.
>>36938364
budd, you know you just have to get on the gain train like the rest of us. Shit you are only fucking 29. You don't see anything going until you hit your 30's. I'm 32 and still making gains.
>>36938387
Widows peak isn't a balding thing m8.
Late 20s - Early/mid 30s is the general rule
Is that real? Holy shit.
Then again it's mostly the fat part.
32 here, depends on how much you drink/drug.
>>36938334
He's aged pretty well. The issue is he started off looking like a pug.
>>36938334
The truth is, the decline starts when you lose control of your life or let it happen.
>>36938334
this is what he looked like after getting out of the hospital after his liver shut down from drinking. Happened to my brother too. Except he didn't get out.
Imagine wasting your best years with bleached spiked hair and wearing studded belts and 3/4 shorts
I'm sure he made a stack of cash and fucked loads of teenagers but still
>>36938850
Damn son. Those feels. Give your brother my bests.
>>36938334
Whenever you loose your peak bone mass.
Dad strenght isnt a myth.
>>36938828
Pictures could have been taken during the same day. It's just bad lighting, probably direct flash, and bad angle in photo in the right. Also terrible moment with mouth half open and probably has a bit sleep dept is all.
The hair line is exactly in the same place in both photos.

He lived in 6 months what you'll never live in your lifetime.

>he achieved what you'll never achieve in your lifetime.
>>36938334
you people are the epitome of early as fuck mid-life-crisis
when does the decline start?
well it doesn't until at least 40 morons
look at all the fucking sportsmen, who reach their prime in the 30ies, and after that they're never as good as they used to be
35-50 is the manliest age anyway
after that you can turn into the old man and tell your stories to the kids
>>36939736
Forgot to add: 25 to 50
>>36938422
>widows peak
a V-shaped growth of hair toward the center of the forehead, especially one left by a receding hairline in a man.
>>36939736
Literally who
>>36938334
the key to aging gracefully is keeping your body fat considerably low. That's literally it. Count macros and you're solid. Building muscle prior to your old age is also a must
>>36938334
It might be mostly genetic.
I won the lottery on this cause my grandpa didn't feel like breaking down till he was 80. Even then he died the next year.
My dad is still tough as shit too. He's 63, has huge fucking muscles, and my friends and most people assume he's 35. He still bangs 40yo chick's from time to time.
I'm 22 now and started lifting a while back and feel like goddamn Hercules. I gain muscle pretty goddamn fast after working out everyday and the fat just falls off. And most people assume I'm like 16.
>>36939873
Fucking Pleb.
>>36939254
I think lots of guys in their 20s think that if they arent fucking loads of chicks in their 20s that life is over. I'm 32 now and I honestly live my life way more even when I was getting laid in my 20s
>>36938334
As long as you aren't an extreme alcoholic, you don't have to worry about turning into Deryck Whibley.
And by the way, he's doing better now and looks half decent for a guy who nearly drank himself to death.
>>36938392
you can't say anything about his testosterone levels or health
>>36938364
jump on test or enjoy slowly becoming an old weak man with a dick that doesn't work
>>36939827
Thank you reddit hair growth bot, but it still has nothing to do with ageing or balding.

Ive never smoked or drank alchohol, ill post pics on /fit/ when im 32
I'm getting better with age because I got a bad receding hairline at 16. Now that I'm 26, everyone around my age is kind of catching up to me in looking old.
>>36942141
if you look 'old' in your 20s its game over.
>>36942175
It's not game over, it's just how I look lol. I can't help it if I got them big glasses, pasty skin and receding hairline.
>>36938364
>29
>getting weaker
there's something else wrong. people lose speed, flexibility, reaction time before raw strength. I'm also guessing you're not a professional athlete so you shouldn't be seeing the effects of aging just yet. Shit even if you were a pro athlete you shouldn't be seeing it yet. You are just upset about turning 30...I know I am I'm the same age as you.
>>36942186

You guys don't know what this dude did to himself? He nearly drank himself to death. He quit drinking and looks great now.
Seriously, mind your fucking cups. Booze will really mess your shit.
>>36942203
What game?
>>36938387
25 sounds about right in regards to absolute peak condition.
In competitive track I've heard 24 being thrown around as the optimal age for running your fastest mile. You can certainly get better in events that are longer than that as you age however. Many athletes will move up in events as they get older as they lack the fine tuned speed to remain competitive at events like the 800M or mile and try their hand at 5K, 10K and even marathon.
>>36938334
Long distance runners often peak in their early thirties, and there are men in special operations in the military right up until they turn 55.
Just keep training and see how it goes, but don't sell yourself short at any age.
>>36942243
In football (soccer). 26 is considered the peak for strikers.
>>36942243
The best runner in the world right now, Eliud Kipchoge, is 31 and getting better every race.
>>36942257
>Who is Jamie Vardy
>Who is Lionel Messi
>>36942301
It's been a while since I've followed running closely, but from a quick wikipedia page look up it appears he followed the format I listed of moving up to longer events. People can marathon competitively well into their 30's. Props to him.
>>36942328
one hit wonder and an absolute exception to the rule. The average striker isn't a midget pumped full of growth hormone.
Unless you're close to 50, it's all about the amount of training you've done.
But generally, people never workout. Do they slowly creep on the fat.
And without any muscle mass, ANY little amount of fat really shows.
>>36942235
OVER
I dunno I'm 27 and still feel like a child, except I own a condo downtown, my parents can't tell me what to do, and I slack off at work instead of at school.
A few of my friends seem beaten down but others are still pretty energetic.
It really depends on your lifestyle. If you're determined to fail, you will fail.

If you never stop lifting there won't be a decline. This video was one of the biggest motivations for me to start lifting:

lol what.
in Australia theres fuck all players in the AFL above the age of 30, most are literally 17-25.
How in the fuck is OP's picture being taken for anything other than shit?
A vast majority of you all, who keep really active and eat clean and good, will age like gods in comparison to literally every other person around you.

Went to a music festival at 25 wih my brother. I'd been to a few others when I was younger.
I was surrounded by children. And damn what a difference 21-25 makes for women. You could instantly tell which ones were 24+ compared to all the fresh young looking 19-20 year olds. Chicks that were 25+ look busted as fuck by comparison.
>>36943846

Honestly there's not much of a difference between a 25-35 year old woman in terms of looks.

I came here to say this.
A window's peak and a receding hairline are not the same thing. I've had a widow's peak since i was born.

>>36938387
>Hairline (widows peak or balding) is a general first sign and it's hard to find a man in his twenties without a widows peak.
It's called a normal adult hairline.
>>36944340
I wooooon't let you faaaaall appaaaaaart
Hop on test, a sensible dose that is, and enjoy not losing your strength or energy.
You absoultely must spend a lot more time stretching, self-massaging and warming-up as you age though. Test can only help with strength and mood. Joints pain and compounded fatigue has to be managed actively.
The ageing process is a mental state for the majority of the time. My step-dad divorced my mom when he was a muscular 42 year old. 2 years later the strength is declining, his skin looks gaunt, and his hair, once mousey brown, is completely silver. Hell, just look at that before and after pic of Obama, in 8 years of being president he's aged about 20.
Funnily enough, your 30s SHOULD be your prime years, according to every culture before the 1990s.
I dunno what happened either.

Not really. But they were a huge band in the early 2000s. Part of that era-defining punk rock thing. There was absolutely no escaping it.
>>36945607

That was at least 20 years earlier (think Thatcher, IRA, unions, recession and hair-rock). No punk in the 00s mate.

They called themselves punk rock, but they were really just rock bands. Other notable acts include blink 182, Green Day, The Offspring, etc., etc..

>Green Day, The Offspring
fucking 90s man, these guys were old in the 00s. Also, get your math right. Your 20s is not the time for punk, shit is for teens. Then again, your were probably one of those sad-fags listening to blink 182 and 40yr old greenday in his twenties.

Age happens. I'm 27 and I already have a little arthritis in one hip. It can only go downhill from here.
I control what I can by keeping fit and eating healthy; everything else is up to fate. Whatever happens, happens.

Dude cleaned up his act and looks pretty good again.
>>36945607
I heard the music before. Never actually looked up who they actually were.
Anyway, I'm 31. As for aging, there are a ton of factors involved. I think race is one of the biggest ones. Ever see a black man age compared to a white man? Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters has aged a lot slower than Dan Akroyd or Bill Murray. For me, I'm Hispanic and I still feel like I'm in my early 20's whereas everyone my age is gaining weight, losing hair, and generally slowing down. The only other person I know who isn't feeling crippling age is this half Asian guy I know. Not sure if Asians age slow as well, or is it because he's half white, but seeing how badly his parents aged there must be something about being mixed that slows aging.

Well more everything really, I plan on crushing more pussy in my 40s than in my 20s that shit don't even phase me

>Ever see a black man age compared to a white man? Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters has aged a lot slower than Dan Akroyd or Bill Murray
This must be an US thing. Here in Europe, blacks actually age worse than everyone else. They have extremely fatty, wrinkly skin.
>>36946034
Could be. It's probably due to Euro blacks having more in common to African blacks than American ones.
>>36945794
>Ever see a black man age compared to a white man?
That's so 50/50. Some black people age fucking horribly.
>Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters has aged a lot slower than Dan Akroyd or Bill Murray.
You don't see me citing Clooney as an example of how white people age, singling out people that age well is fucking stupid. Espcially when you have only one decent example.

This. You'd be surprised how many grown ass women shop in clothing stores made for teenagers. I remember one time I walked into Forever 21 and saw from behind a woman wearing short-shorts and a belly shirt. I thought it was a preteen because she was so tiny and petite. She turned around and it was an 80 year old woman.
>>36938334
Just look at when most professional athletes start to decline (soccer, tennis, football, boxing, etc), it usually starts to happen at around 31, 32 or shortly thereafter. It's the reality that many live in denial about.
>>36943851
It depends on genetics. I've seen 17-18 year olds that look 20 years older, like Lorde. And then there are women like Carice Van Houten. She is 39.

I'm 28, never been stronger in my life and still making strength gains, last week new PR deadlift 190kg and now I'm preparing for a squat PR, going to squat at least 160kg but expecting to do 170kg.
Oh and I have a herniated disc in my lower back, slowing my progress quite a bit.
You fucking crying faggots,my father is 46 no grey hair and still strong, you wanna know why? He grew up on a farm untill his 20's when he moved to the city, he worked his ass all his life, still does because it became the norm for him, he's still in good shape, its either genetics or HARD WORK.

-mediterranean diet, i dont smoke, neither drink sugar drinks, only drink alcohol socially
-working as a mechanic so i havent notice decline yet
-you can be pretty heathy and fit until 70 years old i suposse looking at my father (he swins 3 days per week), but dont pretend doing 100kg squats

Well he did sort of contribute to popularizing that style, so it's really not a big surprise that while it may no longer be trendy, he continues to sport it, especially considering the fact that he's basically no longer in the public eye. Men typically freeze their style at the time in their life when they were most successful.
>>36946538
I'm sure he spends a lot of time thinking about what you think about him.
>>36938334
Thinking about this is quite useless and futile. Just try and be the best you can be at any age. If you start lifting at 35, do the best you can and you will start to look and feel better then you would if you never started. Don't waste your life thinking about what you could have been. Focus on what you can achieve. Every step you made let you to becone the person you are now. Where will your next step lead you?
>>36938334
If you don't suffer any major injuries between the ages of 28-40 your strength won't start declining until you are 40, possibly even 45 if you do everything perfectly. I mean fuck, my grandmother is 71 and doesn't take any kind of medication. She just gets in 4-8 hours of cardio a week and eats a very healthy diet.
If you really take care of your body, your body will take care of you. Yes your testosterone levels start dropping in your 20's, but it shouldn't really be a problem for your health, if you lead a healthy lifestyle. If you're really bothered by it, then just start juicing and facing all of the health risks associated with it.
>>36945859
xD fucking pumped. Already have a nice physique and facial aesthetics at 20. How good is it in your 30's?
>>36946382
there is mixed research. One that shows it is good for you and one that shows it is bad for you. Not the one you responded to but I tend to avoid caffeine because I want my energy levels to come from my joy for life. Look at a child. You think he needs coffee? NO. He is just high off life. That is how you should be.

I'm thinking of giving up coffee again (only lasted a couple months last time) but I'm not looking forward to that severe 3 day headache again.
Is giving it up and only drinking water really worth it? How long does it take to feel completely normal again.

>>I've tried eating more and improving routine but i just gain fat and the strenght keeps slowly going down.
Dude a professor of mine is in his early forties and has very low bodyfat and is pretty /fit/, so you're doing something wrong.

Because drinking drugs and sex is the best part of life.
Lemme me know when you're not 18-21 anymore.
im creeping on 19 and people often tell me I look younger than i am, like 4 or 5 years. Does this mean I have a baby face?

>this
after I'm done eating these hard boiled eggs i've got a couple more exercises to do, then i'm headed down to the sea where i'm going to burn ants with my magnifying glass and enjoy the waves.

You're really out of touch. Pop punk had a big revival in the 90s and early 2000s. Green day, sum41, Blink182, the offspring, etc. I personally don't have an interest in it, but there was no escaping it for a while. It dominated MTV airtime, radio play. You had to have heard of them.
>>36945773
>Which explains why you know all this shit from the 00s. I didn't and don't listen to tv/radio much after hitting my 20s.
So why are you telling people that punk wasn't popular in the 90s? You admit you don't know shit (only after it was amply revealed) so shut the fuck up.
>hurr durr I don't know shit like I said I did because, errr, umm, I'm too mature, yeah, too cool for that shit.
You sound 15.

Not everyone has to get fat or dress in dockers. Go complain to everyone in rock if you got a problem. Would anyone tell Keith Richards or Prince to dress more like a sears catalogue model? People view rock stars as being larger than life entertainers. Of course their not going to dress like your neighbour mowing the lawn on a Sunday. Get real.

>seriously looked at the pictures and compared
Lack of stress, healthy diet, moderate exercise, skin care. Feels good that my family, despite not taking care of themselves at all and even smoking and being fat, look young for their age. If I take care of my body I might accidentally reverse aging. Based leprechaun genetics.

Not too much cardio. Those jogging bunnies look like beef jerky. Skincare and either lifting or bodyweights plus yoga or stretching is way more important.
>sunscreen
red raspberry seed oil my man. 30 spf AND moisturizes. I wear moisturizer day and night. Skin is so soft it's unreal. Unfortunately I went /out/ without muh 'screen a few days ago and now I have a light sunburn. Feel bad about it...been putting good stuff on it. I wear long sleeves all summer to avoid getting burns, and I just bought a sun hat to help further. Just got new snail repair gel from korea. Made with snail snot. Apparently good shit. I mean, do you see asians aging like shit? Nope. Anyway I highly recommend oils. I use rice bran oil, argan oil, and vitamin e oil regularly, plus red raspberry seed oil.
Also a LOT of skin sag is due to weight gain and loss, and for women, bone loss is due to not exercising and having kids. If you don't shit out kids your shit doesn't get fucked, and if you exercise at all you're better than 90% of the population. If you're gonna lose weight, do so slowly.
There's a pic around here of two 70 year old women. One lifts and one doesn't. Night and day, the lifter looks like 45 and the nonlifter looks like saggy, wrinkled shit.
And don't neglect body moisturizer, especially your neck and underneath your chin.

>>36939958
you basically lose 10% a year starting 5 or so years before you finally go but as long as you have a buffer you'll still be /fit/ until a few months before the end, and even then you'll still be active until the final weeks

This. The problem with the hedonistic lifestyle is that it only considers 10 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE. People who spend their 20's doing drugs and drinking alcohol deteriorate the other half of their lives. If you live to be 100, you basically set 70% of your life to be shit.

>When does the inevitable decline start?
the very moment of your conception.
may as well just keep climbing anyway.
>>36955418
you can behave hedonistically (this isn't a word but it should be) without behaving erratically/destructively/in excess, you just need a variety of moderately bad-for-you things and to balance them all out. also, things that are good for you can be very pleasant as well, like liftan.

Receding hairline or a high widows peak starts soon after a boy reaches complete adulthood.
It's a natural process that happens in nearly every male on the planet.
It's caused by a genetic mutation that signals the cells in your scalp to stop creating new hair post puberty.
It's sister mutation is crown balding, which once again is caused by a hormonal signal from your body to stop producing hair.
These are the same signals that also start
>chest hair growth
>butt hair
>back hair
>stomach hair
Most people didn't just wake up at 16 and have full chest hair, it slowly started to grow in as you reached your twenties and than thickens out.
These are signals that you are about to reach the decline.

WHO IS THIS HOTTIE THOTTIE
there are steps you can take in order to not age.
don't drink too much, don't smoke, eat a good diet, sleep well, drink plenty, keep your skin healthy (moisturizer and sunscreen daily even if you live in fucking finland or some other sunless tundra) and exercise. all this is easy.
a lot of you will age very well due to your large amounts of exercise, clean diets, water intake and necessity to avoid alcohol.
something else that helps immeasureably is taking care of your posture. old people's muscles atrophy; that combined with sitting down for most of the day results in them stooping over and maintaining good posture can make old people look like a decade younger.
and finally, very small doses of HGH can make older people look youthful as fuck. if you want proof look at stallone's face, he used to look like an old italian kike, now he almost looks fresh out of rocky 4 again.
most peple age like shit because they live like shit, eating, drinking and sitting down. don't do this
>>36939873
Literally kill yourself
>>36957201

Yes, bad things in moderation are fine such as weed and beer but why do it? I know this comment is going to stir up a lot of negative comments but think about it. Why ruin your progress in life? I am at the point now where I would rather eat a salad than a burger because I know the salad will make me feel healthier, look better, focus longer, feel more satisfied, and make me feel awesome. Eating the burger might taste good but I know it will lead me to being fatter, unhealthier, feeling sluggish, and feeling guilty. This leads into a downward spiral where you begin to feel worse and worse. It's like they say, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Those who are fit and healthy are more likely to be MORE fit and healthy while those who are obese are MORE likely to be fatter the next time you see them. I know people say weed isn't a gateway drug but in my experience (i first smoked in 10th grade then did x, molly, coke, mushroom, acid, dmt, ketamine, and xanax in college) and all my other friends who smoked weed this is NOT the case. Weed is a gateway drug. It puts you in situations where you want to try crazier drugs because you are surrounded by people who do. Find me a person who has done x, molly, or coke but NEVER smoked weed. Let the stoner comments come.

There is no way that man looks like that now.

I'll probably need to start hitting test in my 40s...

there is no inevitable decline, only people that submit to the crabbucket
your BMR decreases by about 8kcal/day/year when you get older - people get disgusting because its easy and everyone else is doing it
>being 28
>the current year
I just turned 33, and I found that my body has different capabilities and recovery requirements. This is not bad, it just requires different methods to obtain achievable goals. I lift for fitness and health, not to try and get the biggest numbers and cripple myself in the process.
