I was told when you hit 30 your endurance and recovery cuts in half-when you hit 40 it cuts in half again
mine was about 32 can't fucking wait till I hit 40

37, but like ESWOL, lifting smarter,
55 bro. Still going heavy. Sholders are shot though, lol. I dropped 30 lbs, from 233 to about 203. At 233 I was packing
a gut (not real big) but kept telling myself how strong I was. Switched jobs, and less food. At 203 I am trying to keep
using the heavy weights but I now have abbs. Gotta love that. Gotta say holding most of the muscle and it feels good
with the small waist. Trying to put few more lbs on but keep the abbs. At this age I want to at least keep what I got. lol
Also at the lighter weight I am feeling REAL light on my feet. I just have kept it up, try to eat decent but never deprive
myself and I feel great. Dont plan on letting up and I am still always trying to improve. Nothing but time bro. One more
thing, I dont spend too much time in the gym. 45 min to little over hour for a long one and I dont get burned out.
AND, most important, old broads are easily impressed and there are very few older guys in good shape. Life is good. lol

Im 51, I was at my strongest when i was 36, ...455 lb bench, I cant say i didn't add anymore muscle after 40, because i priority trained my bi's and bought them up quite a bit, but like most my joints are pretty worn, so i pre-exhaust my chest, ill start out on incline bench with 95lbs. And go something like this . 95...125...155....185....215... 245...275.... Then 315 till failure. On cycle ill put 2 35lb plates on each side and 10... 10lb plates on each side, and have my girl take 1 ten off each side after each set, Wow, freakin love that. You gotta picture a grey haired guy at Golds gym training next to guys half his age,. I can still go hard and heavy with my back tho, my fav. Bodypart. Just no bent barbell rows, can still do dumbell rows ,one arm with 150's. Thats why i love bodybuilding, you can train till you die, which will probobly be 10yrs longer due to training.
