You should accept 25 year olds. 25-30 is when muscle mass peaks.

>>75606815

Yes 25 is too young, you're quite literally a baby and still have your baby hormones unironic.

Youngun's will disagree but they're wrong. 30's are best for men

>low to medium intensity cardio every day if possible
>weights three times a week, full body, long sets to fatigue

I might never stray away from this ever again, it's just too nice to be lean, plus I'm tired of the exhaustion and random aches of pure strength stuff, got too much shit I want to do.

>>75606800
34. I noticed slower recovery (I think. It could be just nowadays I have real stress to deal with which draws more energy) but otherwise, i feel completely fine desu l o l why are you guys struggling so hard?

My back hurts bros...

How many weeks we need to take to fully recover, old bros?

Literally 30s is better.
The only two things worst.

1. I feel slightly more tired.
2. I do have a few joint pain areas that don't heal as quickly or won't heal.
Everything beyond these two points is just better.

I have more money, less stress, I feel more confident, I am just better at most things.
If it wasn't for the fucking tiredness sometimes I would objectively say in every way getting older is better. Fuck the joint paint that's small time.

34, just getting over a cold, I despise how illnesses knock me on my fucking ass these days.
Still, I feel better now than I did in my late 20s. I'm hoping my progress will convince my wife to start working out too, she's constantly complaining about back aches and being tired.

>>75607072
Deadlifts legit seem like a meme exercise. Nobody can convince me that shit doesn't wreck your back.

How do I get my dick to work again?

>>75606800
I turn 30 at midnight. During my early 20s I dreaded this day, but as I've come closer I actually feel pretty good.

>>75607130
Congrats bro. Keep making America great again

>>75607133
Thanks king. I'll see you tonight

>>75607122

When did it stop working?

>>75607113
I'm not going to do them for a while when I go back, but I really wanted to get up to 200kg. Although I hadn't done a 1rm for a while I was probably close to 4 plates if I'd tried, but I think I'll have to sit at 3 if not less and up the reps rather than pushing the weight up for a while.

Assuming I can get to 200kg I will do it once and never again. Why would a person need to lift 200kg? The human body is not meant to carry that much weight. I should take this as a warning and just give up on the stupid idea because I'm a lanklet and am at a big disadvantage on the heavy compounds, but I'm fixated on certain targets now, I was getting close so I can't accept leaving it.

Still lifting at 41. Just hit 275 at the bench, which is a new PR for me. No real aches or pains. Had a knee issue about 4 years ago, but it has completely resolved, and I'm pretty sure Bulgarian split squats and Nordic curls are what fixed it. Go for a 3 mile run with the dog after every gym session too.

Bench is my only big lift any more, unless you count pull ups. Deadlift and squat aren't worth the risk in my opinion, especially as injuries do take a lot longer to heal as you get older. That's the only real difference I've noticed from being in my 20's.

Started lifting at 27. Took my 29th year off. Back at it now that I'm 30 for the last 8 months. Grew up fat kid. Starved myself into skinnyfat hell at age 16 because I realized being fat was the worst possible thing for my quality of life. I'm unironically in the best shape of my life now. I know that's a low bar to get over, but it's true. Spent most of my 20s extremely depressed from my first love with BPD going absolutely nuclear on me and my friend group.

Can You cum twice a day? Do you have to take days off to be fully functional again? I have to abstain for a week to have normal erections

>>75607575
it's extremely obvious if you're a roidtranny, lobster red 40 year old that looks 50

>>75607592
Can cum 3-4 times a day no problem, haven't tried any more than that cause usually my wife is too sore or tired for much more. My cardio is 3 mile jogs 3 days a week. Vitamins deficiencies can make your dick not work well too, but that is more than I can help with.

>>75607622
What the fuck bro I didn't even do that at 20, not from sex anyway. I can do it from jerking but my dick just isn't sensitive enough for sex to do it. At the most I can come 3 times in a day from sex but even that is a big outlier, usually it would be once, or I even fuck for hours without coming at all sometimes.

To be fair it might be to do with the way I have sex, I much prefer pumping gasms out of my bitch rather than coming myself so I often intentionally stop myself when I'm getting close.

>>75607635
let me guess, you don't run.

>>75607635
My wife loves it when I just keep going at it after I've cum in her, been doing it so often it feels odd to only cum once when fucking her.

>>75607622
>>75607635
Damn. Then I have a problem. I can only cum once every week

My wife has gone off the pill to lose weight and I'm sick of pulling out. Anyone had a vasectomy? What's it like?

>>75607087
I get the same thing. My left elbow hurts a bit when I do heavy tricep pushdowns, hasn't ever really gotten better

>>75607645
Well no but I don't see how that would make my dick more sensitive? Maybe help with erection quality, but I'm usually OK in that area.

>>75607649
Wait so your dick actually stays hard after you come? That's crazy bro I don't think that's normal.

>>75607671
I am quite overly sexual, not as much anymore but definitely when I was younger. But even still, once in a week seems pretty shit, maybe you should look into that.

I mean I sometimes go a week without coming at all but it's not because I can't, more like a binge and purge type of thing.

>>75607771

Had one done a few months ago. The actual procedure wasn't terrible, a bit physically uncomfortable at times but nothing excruciating - at its worst, it felt like the dull ache you get after getting hit in the balls. Took about two weeks to fully recover - had to ice my nuts for the first couple days, and there was a consistent ache if I moved too fast, but honestly the hardest part was just the fact that I had to take it so damn easy on my body. I feel fine now, I can now safely creampie my wife with no issues.

I'm a convert. The only thing I have to get use to is the actual belt and pushing into it as it just feels awkward to me having never used it. I was having pain at 3 plate without belt and with belt I don't feel shit.

Works fine, and what other anon said about cardio. Dont neglect it as you get older.

This. You can ride the peak until 45 maximum from then on decline will set in. You can see this with powerlifting, masters 40-44 is still extremely close to open division and sometimes higher than the open.

45 here did 20 pull ups not even month ago.

Also for first time I think I have managed to activate my chest in bench press. All these years I have used max legal width 810 mm (index fingers on the outer edge of ring mark) and that has had the narrow benching results on me so I have well-trained triceps and shoulders but no chest. I have the craziest ape index and now doing really wide grip from narrow rack where I can grip the bar outside the rack hooks near the sleeve. If I only knew this 20 years ago holy shit

>>75608337
I started lifting again about a month after the procedure. I probably could have done it sooner but I was being extra cautious.

It doesn't seem to matter how hungry I get, how much cardio I do, what my macros look like, how much I refeed or don't, etc etc. Everything but the love handles leaned out, then my weight loss just fucking stopped. Very frustrating.
I'm going to slowly taper up my calories and hopefully maintain for a bit, then bring them back down. Hopefully I can rev up my metabolism a little.

finally getting back to lifting in a not pitiful way. DL is back into the mid 400s. bench back into the 200s, although SLAP tear in my right shoulder (and SLAP repair in my left) will likely keep me from the lmao3pl8 bench like i used to have without fail. no longer ohp; the sets of 225x5 are probably what ground my shoulders up. mainly use squat for hip range of motion and stability. i do a lot of brisk walking for cardio because my knees and hips are fucked, lol.

down 50lbs since late august. goal would be to get down another 30-50. no longer caring about looking like a PLer.

52 here, drank hard through my 30's 40's, fat fuck 5'9" 225, quit drinking on my 50th birthday, started clean omad and light cardio swimming and jogging every other day until my weight got down to 175.
currently 160 and go to the gym twice a week plus some cardio mixed in, this year im going to bulk up and gain more muscle to compensate for loose gut skin.
it takes about 5 hours of effort every week to mog most men my own age, i had some dick issues in my late 40's could only get about half up with 50/50 finishes which was more incentive to get my shit together, no issues now although i cant hammer nails with it like when i was younger

What I've learned is that if you were EVER doing hard physical work or lifting in your younger years, then you can get a a lot of that strength/mass back again later on.
If you didn't, then it is very hard to grow (naturally) - I doubt roiding would help at this point as the tendons grow much slower.

Seriously get the fuck off if it and hit the gym hard, I was on SSRI's for about a year in my 20's and that shit made life worse, but I just didn't care that it made it worse. Some serious exercise, 20-30 minutes of direct sunlight exposure and a clean diet cleared up any depression issues I had. That was 20 years ago. You don't need drugs to feel better, you can do it through sheer force of will. I believe in you anon.

30 and finally back in the gym for 3 months now after 4ish years of drinking too much and getting fat. I'm down 25 pounds bros! Been doing a 6 day ppl and daily sauna. My dick works better now too

>>75611115
Not the Anon you are talking to, but highly considering quitting SSRI/Psych meds myself. I feel like the few months I have spent getting exercise and outdoors time in have done more for my mental health and depression compared to years of psych drugs. Just hope I will not lose my disability if I quit them.

>>75611159
>Just hope I will not lose my disability if I quit them.
Can you just keep getting them and just not take them?

>>75611096
>>75611116
is it boomer to hate what this stupid ass “gen” shit has become? We watched the same cartoons as kids so therefore we should support each other and blame any and all issues on some other group because they use a different slang word for “cool” than us.

>>75611159
Please stop taking SSRIs and especially, especially antipsychotics. They cause severe irreversible damage. No panic, just stop rightaway and it'll be fine.

>>75611187
This. The final circle of waste is completed, but if you can't beat 'em join 'em as they say, at least it's not harming anyone.

>31, turning 32 next year
>lost 50lbs this year with diet/cardio, currently 200lbs, 5'10.
>bought my first home and still have a fat stack in stocks/savings
>lost my virginity and fucked her a few times (sadly I won't anymore)
>started lifting weights this week, I can't believe I didn't start before

This was the best year of my life. No contest. Cheers faggots.

>>75611096
Yeah I get that but it's a super gay term, almost as gay as millennial. So I'm glad it's changing

>>75611159
Taper off, buy a pill splitter. Also just don't tell your doc you've tapered oft, ask to increase your dose to turn him off the trail. You got jewed on the first place getting put on SSRIs so don't feel bad jewing them back

>>75611159
Hey
I love you man

>>75611187
I guess I could, yeah. I was just going to tell my Doctor I wanted to stop taking them.
>>75611216
I'm on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety stuff. Not sure if those count as anti-psychotics and I'm slightly worried that going cold turkey will fuck me up with withdrawals
>>75611241
Subterfuge feels pretty shitty but the pill splitter works. Thank you, Anon.
>>75611258
Thank you? .

That is the problem right there. If you want something, work for it. Fight for it. Try. Don't expect it to be served to you on a silver platter just because you work out and look good.

>>75611400
While a youth spent laboring is a youth wasted. Don’t pretend like those “milestones” matter. Teenage romance, not sex, but romance, like two fourteen year olds cuddling on an autumn evening is the only thing you actually can miss out on.
EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING can be done up to your 50s.
You can have sexy and romantic movements even after you turn 35. Relax.
The only thing you can not do is innocent cuddles, and that, looking back on it, was really really gay.
Sex feels no different.
Kissing feels no different.
Getting into trouble with friends feels no different.
Late nights with girls gossping (this is really gay, gay men do this, don’t do this, teenage boys do this because they have functionally low t.) feels no different.

You didn’t miss out on anything.
If you hit your 60s without these things. Then you missed out. Sure. But if you’re not 60. You didn’t miss out.
I am convinced these blackpillers are shills trying to make the blackpill about gay teenage experience instead of real blackpills like ZOG running away with the game.
Teenagers are not “living it up” they’re not having “the best sex ever with prime fresh pussy and nice cocks”.
No, they’re awkward, insecure, androgynous, and clumsily stumbling their way into being completed.
I was one of them. All sex is good, but sex as a man at 35 with a girl who is 19 is was way better than sex at 17 with another 17 year old.

You didn’t miss out. You’re just too brainrotted to see it.

Any guy in his 30's who's ripped and was able to afford a home and a car through hard work has likely experienced all if not most of these supposed "social milestones".

I've never understood this phrase. What "developmental social milestones" is this talking about?

>>75611683
Getting a gf, being engaged, getting married, domestic abuse, divorce, stalking, prison

>>75610919
What got you feeling blue, buddy?

>>75610872
I fucked an 18 year old like 2 weeks ago and one of you Lil bois were seething then too. Sit down lol

>>75611547
Cool post but don't get baited bro. I'm increasingly starting to think people can ruin their lives by getting baited like this. Sounds like a stretch but if you go away and start thinking about having "missed out" offline, that can send you off in the wrong direction completely.

32yo oldfag

my elbow hurts like a bitch after tricep push downs...how fucked am I?

>>75606863
i fucked up in my 20s so I am a bit behind the ball but I just graduated law school and studying to take the bar. At least I will be making good money now but goddamn I sucks still having to feel like you need to hustle and catch up. Whatever at least I'm sober and healthy now.

>>75611916
do you have a tiny hollow point near the point of your elbow when it's bent?

>>75611941
i dont think so

but honestly its already feeling better :)

I thought it was true that 30s are better because I do have a ton of money and freedom to do whatever the fuck I want, but turns out that all girls have set 30 as their upper age limit on dating apps and now I literally can't get any dates

>>75611950
well that's good because if you did that would be a tear

>>75611961
wtf you have money and freedom in your 30's?

>>75611983
>wtf you have money and freedom in your 30's?
senior remote job = money + freedom

>>75612004
nice

Remote sounds great until you realize your job competition can be the whole world. The more physical and social things tying you to where you are the more reliable your job is.

>>75611961
There must be another way to meet others besides dating apps.

Thanks anons. I've tried to quit many times for other reasons but I start feeling anxiety again. I just never thought it was affecting my dick. Now it worries me.because i was fucking a woman and I started to get soft

Damn you too old for that nigga, stop playing like that unc. Fucking an 18 when you're 30+. Whole ass saggy, belly fatter than her booty, breath smelling like pennies, fucking dick cheese AND buttery balls and skid stains. Aye unc, don't count if you paid for it nigga, cause that's not right.

Right here officer, this man, he grooming us youngins like it's okay

Any Copper Fit product. The only science behind it is compression.

My elbow and shoulder were painful for a day or two, both started a few days after working out.
Did some leg exercises and now my knee hurts.

>>75611749
kek. How about the crushing realization that however much a woman seems to love you now, it exists somewhere on a spectrum between 'she loves an idealized fantasy of you, not what you are really like' and 'passionless convenience'. And it will inevitably slide towards the latter if given enough time.

38 year old here. Yesterday I did deadlifts after about 10 days of not working out and pulled my hamstrings. Figured I'd just quit my work out after that.

I turn 30 in a couple months.
>pain
Lower left back, I think in my sacrum but can’t be sure. Feels like a nook between lower back and hip bone. Always hurts. Knees are shit too.

>getting old
Second kid on the way. fighting for my life to stay active, wife probably wants me to get fat and she’s pretty sedentary herself. Acts like my going to the gym 3x/week is a little hobby and not for the sake of my physical and mental health. Does it get better? If not, best caliber for brain displacement?

Wife’s sister got divorced- her husband was an asshole and also had always tried to get her to work out. Now I’m faced with the issue of looking like an asshole when encouraging her to work out. Honestly should probably hard reset life but looking for solutions

Also 30 in a few months, can I post here early?

>>75612239
common interest clubs, friends of friends, chicks on dating apps just want your attention to sustain them while they hunt for chad anyway. Unless you are Chad then carry on.

I know two kinds of fitness enthusiasts, those who stopped lifting weights as their primary exercise after 30 and those that are in chronic pain.

32, training for a marathon in february, then triathalons and hoping to do an ironman in march 2026. Never felt better in my life

>>75613151
Yum.

>>75613124
just take her on dates that involve mild exercise like hiking and riding bikes at the beach and then reward her with a small amount of her favorite food afterwards, you have to condition them like pavlov

turning 31 in a couple months
no back pain or joint aches but im also lightest i've been since high school
started badminton earlier this month and was sore for a week tho so im on that slow recovery train now

You guys are just memeing about being decrepid, right?

>>75613456
nah man all the neurodivergent stress catches up with you at some point

>>75613456
I'm 37 at 110 kgs and have no aches and pains, but I deliberately avoided anything weight lifting related and have spent the past 15 years self-administering physical therapy to myself. More or less successfully now that I think about it.

Started because I had horrific ankle pain due to anterior pelvic meme tilt (I actually had it).

>>75613456
Absolutely depends on how you take care of yourself. As others said - obesity, balding, being a piggy, and/or not taking care of your teeth will get you.

Regular stress (office 12 hours a day) or major injuries will get you too.

All that aside, you can look great at 40. Later is questionable. You might still be able to look great, if you "for an old man" to every sentence.

>>75613124
It's over bro. Lower back will NEVER get better and your wife is lazy soon to be fatter and let her go

Either get a side bitch to go do gym stuff or stay with fat wife and watch your kids grow up ugly too.

37, found my back pain is caused by my bed, it’s too soft. Anyway bought an orthopedic pillow and been good the last few weeks. I thought I fucked myself max deadlifting in my 20’s so much.

>>75613617
>>75613636
There is a book called "The Back Mechanic" which is actually good. Tldr is that you need to:

> sleep on a firm surface like anon said
> walk to get joints moving
> stretch (toe touch, cross leg toe touch, hip flexors)
> Do some basic strength work, especially glute bridges and planks.

>>75613456
I'm sure there are many fats and former athletes in their 30s that are in constant pain but have given up or aren't interested in lifting and shitposting .

>>75613675
I'm a 30yo fat former athlete who helps around the board with people's S&C problems if I count

33 and my cold-induced asthma has finally disappeared for the first time in my life. Went rooning a mile in freezing without any wheezing. I'm not sure what the hell did it exactly; my supplement stack size passed BryJo over the fall and NAC had been helping before but not enough... some other shit I added must have done it.

I’m 32 and met with my ex gf yesterday who was crazy for me when I was 29 but she didn’t really seem excited at the end. She like lost some excitement, I think I’ve fallen off

>>75613456
I'm 39 and the only "broken" thing I have is my knee sometimes, from an injury I got at 30 or so after twisting it coming down off a tree. I didn't even fall or anything, it's just the way the earth gave away beneath me, very unlucky. And it's never healed.

Other than that no complaints, but it's scary to hear about people with chronic back pain and joint pains. And I wonder like what if one day it all goes wrong on a deadlift and my back is fucked for the rest of my life, and I would have to live with what an idiot I was for not listening to Robert Oberst and everyone warning about deadlifting. I'm very risk-averse in other things. And the older you get, the more risk there is for injury. Getting older does suck but we can only go forward.

>>75613762
No wonder she left you bro, you're old and let yourself go

>>75606800
I'm turning 30 in two months and I'm really feeling my age now. I can't coast by anymore as a sedentary fatass. I get gassy if I binge, I'm thirstier for some reason, I get tired by sunset everyday despite getting decent sleep 7-8 hours daily. I feel horrible really, like if you gave me $15 million or something I'd still feel bad.

Damn, you a dumbass. You let yourself go, AND flexing she's your ex cause you broke up with her when you're 30 already? Nah bro, it's over and you fishing for compliments like a 14 yr old "bro she likes my hair bro". That's YOUR fault, being depressed and getting fatter

At 40 I've never been stronger, but I'm basically a total social recluse, and I don't really mind it. Came close to marriage with a few women, but it always blew up. I think I just can't stand living with anyone, not just women. Never pictured myself as a dad either. Oh well.
Well into builtfat mode, but I don't care about being super lean. Lifetime natty. 585 squat 365 bench 645 deadlift
Currently peaking for a max test in the next few weeks. We'll see what happens.

>Damn, you a dumbass
What's with the hate?
>Let yourself go
I have never stopped lifting since, just added a FEW pounds 2 years later still holding up well, i'll see you when you get 32.
>Flexing
Not really, just stating how things are
>Fishing for compliments
Bro I literally said in my first post that i've fallen off. I don't care what she says, i care that i fucked up my situation.
>YOUR FAULT
Partially it is, my location doesn't help me either. Had one more gf after her but didn't feel the same with her.

Tho desu i made that post because i just regret meeting up with her, i should have ghosted and let her wonder, now she knows. It's over boyos time to go ghost mode.

>>75614440
That's my life, pretty much. I like helping people out, because I have a small but reliable social circle. I'm no Scrooge but I'm just uncertain about what to do since I have a different view now vs what I thought it'd be like in my teens

I feel my autism helps with time management desu

>>75614958
It's not about time management. It's about alone time. I'm overloaded and the recovery time isn't enough. It feels like I was more capable in my 20s. Having a family might have been a mistake

>>75615007
Well it's about time management in that you need to budget time for yourself and not give it up easily.
I've only got two and there isn't much free time, but they're young. It will get better as time goes on.

Yep. Big wargamer personally. Build, paint, getting into 3D printing. Writing a ruleset and doing 3D print designs too. That Nurgle sorcerer looks nice. Is that a zenithal priming done on it, or just the lighting though?

>>75615788
Zenithal. Only have grey and white so the contrast isn't crazy. Just got a 3d printer. I'm yet to have an issue. People made out like 3d printing is a hobby in and of itself and my experience has been the exact opposite. Fuck paying for models ever again. Other than the occasional Gundam, those are fun to build

I joined your ranks today. If I have to be on this fucking rock for another 60 years I'm going to try to enjoy it.

>>75615808
Yeah, that was what I was thinking, but thought I would ask. Zenithal is something I need to give a shot in the future.

3D printing is pretty great. Did you go resin or FDM? Is the miniature in your picture a print? Gunpla are pretty great to build and usually worth the cost. Have a few boxed kits I need to toss together.
