gnasher16 29,664 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Gnash would you say your at your strongest now or has age meant your past your best ... And if so do you think you could have bettered your gains back then knowing what you know now ........ My static strength hasnt really changed much in the last 10 years and i was certainly physically stronger in my 40,s than my 30,s.......im of the opinion that most athletes real man strength doesnt peak until their mid 30,s so the fact i didnt really get into bodybuilding until late 30,s meant by the time id trained a number of years and developed not only technique and strength but also knowledge i was well into my 40,s.......and since then its really just been a matter of maintaining that strength as long as possible as opposed to either building on it or completely losing it !.....You,ve trained to a decent level Socks so you know yourself you will never reach your goals without a certain amount of hard work and knowledge........my goals were to reach the limit of my potential and every man has his limit to where he can only maintain what he has rather than keep building......very few men ever reach that point so i feel im very lucky that i probably did.

gnasher16 29,664 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) My point is, is there big gains to be made through diet and legal supplements such as creatine?You seem to be on a witch hunt against juice......which to me is just as bad as going straight on it.....you are a beginner to lifting mate just slow down and enjoy moving weight about for now and understanding how bars/equipment/food/your body works.....................so many people run before they can walk and are burnt out within 6 months.............you havent gone and paid a 1 year membership anywhere have you I'm not against juice just the bullshitters who lie swearing they haven't touched it when they turn from size zero to meathead in 5 mins, half these personal trainers are taking steroids. IMO they are giving false hopes to clients and should be honest from the start. Now thats something i cant disagree with ......but i do repeat.....you will find a high level of honesty in good reputable gyms.....but you dont find many good personal trainers in reputable gyms Edited May 10, 2015 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 That makes perfect sense ... How long do you hope to be able to maintain your current standard mate ... And I know the answer is probably as long as you possibly can but realistically how much longer do you suppose your body can take the training ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,664 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Im tailing off now mate.....had a little bit of a scare last year and i always said when the body started telling me not to i would listen.....i cant seem to do it in one fell swoop as its a hard habit to break after all this time but i guess we all have to leave things behind and move on to different chapters of our lives. Dont get me wrong i,ll never let myself become a big sloppy mess i,ll always maintain a certain level of strength and fitness.....just not to these extremes.
