If you love this sport bodybuilding is something that will always be a part of you well past 40, we never quit.

At 52 I cannot quit, if I did I am sure I would fall apart.

Same here at 50 going on 51 in a couple of months.

60 in October
If you stop you will grow roots

48 year old bodybuilder here... starting a prep soon.

Keep us updated brother.

I'll be 62 in abt 3 wks and I;m still pumping away albeit a bit slower. After 40 yrs of lifting having hard time getting parallel on squats so do smith squats or hacks mostly these days. Deads are out of question, risk vs reward not in my favor

The long of it, getting slower but will do all this for as long as I can, if I get my atrophied left arm fixed I may even consider competing again

keep working!

keep grinding now at 54.
