One positive about old age (30+) is that it's a great motivator. Feeling your body slowly fall apart unless you constantly put in effort is very effective.
>>77256241I did drugs instead of sports in my teens and early to mid 20s so now I'm fitter than I've ever been even though I'm a cringelenial boomer.

>>77256251I'm not as fit as I was at 20, but I was a fatass in the latter half of my 20s (maxed at 118 kg) and it has taken a lot of work to undo that, now at 93 kg.
i am early 20s and my joints are already creaking
>>77256241I'm 38, heavily drank, smoke, and have been overweight and done labor work for the past two decades. Most mornings I wake up with zero pain, most I get is a little soreness in my lower back if I don't use a knee pillow. No chronic pains or conditions, I'm on zero prescriptions, and my last blood work, which included a hormone panel, all came back green across the board... Kinda mad cause I think I've squandered good genes.
>>77256251>cringelenial boomerWhatever faggy shit you're alluding to was made a million times worse by using this phrase.
>>77256241>old age (30+)Nice meme
I got into fitness at 30, now 40I am grateful for it. I started too late to be a serious athlete. But I am better now than any point of my life. And the act of setting a PR or improving is the feeling worth chasing, it doesn't really matter where the apex is, the climb is what is rewarding. I haven't peaked yet and don't plan to slow down for years. Most men peak before 25.
>>77256241im old myself but one thing i absolutely hate is when other old fucks talk about how fit they were when they were younger. then they try to give me some dumb advice about how to get strong or some shit. then afterwards all they do is complain about how they have no money.everyone get a good degree you can use to land a career and stay healthy. dont end up like these losers
>>77256241It's also a relative thing. You only have to be not a fatass and not bald at 40 to mog. By 80 if you're just alive and walking and not senile you're mogging.
>>77256241random shit in my body will start hurting if i dont work out at least twice a week sitting for long periods hurts it the most
>>77256241Ill be 31 this month, I agree. My 20s were daily drinking and DUDE. Sober 16 months as of yesterday, finally getting my weight up. 130lbs at 5'10, up from 120 a couple months ago. But theres something different in my mind telling me it's worth it, compared to my 20s.
>>77256309>hurr durr i drink and smoke and am old but i am LE PERFECT!first of all, no you are not. you are lying online to an anonmyous hentai imageboard. second of all, IF that were true then the resulting shame from wasting good genes should force you to kill yourself on the spot.
>>77258038Congrats on your sobriety, anon. You and I are in a similar boat>32yo, binge drinker for the last ten years (sans one year of sobriety, 6 years ago), sober now for 14 months, focusing on putting on weight and have gone from 170 to 185130 at 5'10" is extremely underweight. Like, anorexia-tier underweight. I'm only slightly taller (5'11") and weigh 50lbs more than you and I STILL feel underweight. As for the "different thing in your mind telling you it's worth it".. that's aging brother. In your 20s you always had time to fix it and get fit. Now in your early 30s you do not have time. That thing screaming in your head saying it's worth it is you realizing that it is quite literally now or never. Continue on your path now and maintain it or forever lose the chance at being at least semi-fit. I know this because I am g oing through the exact same fucking thing you are.
>>77258172>185>130 at 5'10" is extremely underweight. Like, anorexia-tier underweight.You aint wrong. I had a lot of bad habits from drinking, one of them being to just forego meals. It's taken a lot to rewire that part of my brain, but gym helps. Just been doing heavy (to me) compound stuff 3x a week for the past few weeks. First year was getting my mind straight with no booze, now it has to be my body too. As well as finances, Im poor af and have to get something new because my living situation will change drastically in October, but it's a push I need. Congrats on your sobriety too, anon. Im tired of being tiny, it's not cute anymore, it's unattractive even if I dress nice and have good hygiene. I also imagine Ive been in a haze I dont even realize from being this skinny.
>>77256351imagine being born in the late 1900's and trying to claim you're not old
