>try doing that when you're 30!
>i'm 30, if i did that my back would crack in half!
>i had to stop doing that, 30 is no joke!
>my 30 year old knees can't handle that!
>being 30 means waking up with a new pain every day!
Is everyone on the internet biologically programmed to die at twenty or something? Why are they collapsing only a decade into adulthood?
Ignore them. They're all weak minded losers looking for excuses
I'm 33 and I feel totally fine
Never take painkillers unless I injure myself or I'm painfully sick
They probably feel pain because they're weak
Weak bodies break easy
>he takes painkillers
idiot
>i never take painkillers unless im in pain
Ok?
It's just American things. Pic related is not even 40.
Americans have sucha destructive diet and lifestyle that late 20s is about the same for them as late 40s is everywhere else. Shit food, no sleep etc.
>american
hes a roider, which is
arguably as bad
Looks like an enforcer from Anarchy Online.
>people complaining and making excuses
>somehow manages to work America into the conversation and since all bad things are American, complaining and making excuses must be an American thing, and the 30% obesity rate in the UK is just because 30% of the population is American tourists
30 means waking up with a new pain every day!
This is somewhat true, you start getting more prone to injury at that age. Doesn't matter as long as you're not moronic and use pain for its intended purpose, to diagnose and solve issues.
Yeah Americans are moronic
They're like, hey doc, I stubbed my toe, please give me some morphine pills
yumby yumby morbine
I see you're making you're rounds through all the threads again
>to diagnose and solve issues.
That will be $50,000 will you need a payment plan or will you be paying the doctor's office in full?
I don't need a doctor to figure out lower back pain means I should watch my sitting posture and exercise more. Sucks to be moronic I guess.
Started training calisthenics this year and am nearly 35. Absolutely smash it.
The biggest muscle you need to train is your brain
Post body? Please
Enjoy ur wank
Get some Rogaine, bro.
Im 30 and dont even feel too different than when I was 18
same but I'm 32. I'm worried it'll all hit me at once. I will never stop lifting and measuring what I eat though.
Just look at soccer athletes because they're somewhere in the middle of endurance, anaerobic / explosive strength, stamina. It's a sport basically requiring a little bit of everything. Professional soccer players tend to do really well in their 30s, and they do not decline before their late 30s. In other words, I call bullshit. If soccer players can play at top tier level at 35 against 20 year olds, there's no excuse for you.
>Professional soccer players tend to do really well in their 30s, and they do not decline before their late 30s.
These are the exception though
In the football market it's well known that by 30 you're near the end of your career
Messis's and CR7s are few exceptions
yeah if you're a braindead pacey Ngubu
Consider this, serie A standings: Inter Milan is atm first (I'm a supporter btw). Average age is 29. And this is literally top tier fitness level where you get paid millions. And you're b***hing about being 30 and not being fit enough for having an amateur, athletic body?
Consider this, you're moronic
Kys yourself Black person
Sure thing moron
Kys Black person autist
>serie A
italian seria A has always been the league where you go to retire, average age there has always been thry the roof, it is the nr1 league where aged starts go, you get too old to play in spain or premier league, italy is your next stop, always been like this
>italian seria A has always been the league where you go to retire
How many English teams were in UCL last year and how many Italian? Stop outing yourself like a moron. Serie A mogs everyone
same maount, thats how ucl works, you get 4 teams from every big league, but it doesnt change the fact that serie a has always been a pensioners league
ronaldo left juve for untd at 38 what are you talking about
>Professional soccer players tend to do really well in their 30s
No they don't, massive majority of soccer players peak around 25-29 and then fall off pretty hard in their 30s. All it takes is one major/niggling injury to send them to the glue factory/mls.
Long lasting players are rare and usually forced to adjust to (or already well adjusted to) more technical, less physical roles on the pitch. All that while having benefits of shit like free ice baths, saunas, massage therapists etc. to help their recovery. Same goes for athletes in most other sports
Comparing the top 0.0001% of the population to normie office drones doesn't make any sense.
>hit 30
>suddenly need to take a daily nap
That's extra anabolic, good for you bro
Make sure to hit 45 mins for dat dere rem phase tho, less than that is kinda wasteful
same wtf
That's because u finally found a job u stupid neetgay.
I was like this for a few years after I turned 30. When I fixed parts of my diet and enforced a strict sleep schedule for myself, I no longer wanted an afternoon nappy.
The people I know who do that are addicted to coffee or energy drinks.
whoopsies maybe I should stop drinking coffee then? haha yeah no not happening haha I'm just gonna keep napping haha
You accumulate a lot of wear and tear (physical and mental) by your 30s which eventually starts manifesting through random niggling pains and injuries. Your hormones should be fine but they'll be lower than what they were in your 20s, making your recovery slower. 30s ain't no joke.
People tell me these things too and then they're surprised to hear that I am 30. Yes, I need more time to recover but it's because I'm stronger and have more to recover from.
It's accumulated injuries most of the time. At least for people who are actually making an effort, rather than copers who were never doing anything well from the start. I hurt my shoulder once 6 years ago, and i still have to be careful about warming up and not doing certain movements too violently with it unless warmed up. 30 isn't old at all, you just don't have that ridiculous recovery time that you do when you're 20 and still in that invincible teenager mode. Is what it is. On the other hand, I've noticed that it's way easier to build up cardio compared to when I was younger
whatever helps you cope at night for lifting like a moron when you were younger and paying the consequences long-term lmao!
>When I was 12 I lost my leg.
>By 13 it's so iver because of accumulating injuries
Frick off! For idiots and egoliftwrs it was iver from the beginning.
>it's way easier to build up cardio compared to when I was younger
Time perception. Thirty minutes on a treadmill seemed like a boring, hellish eternity when I was 20. Thirty minutes on a treadmill is a blink of an eye at 40.
I'm scared to age, bros
First it was at 25
Then 30
Now I'm 30, in shape and everyone tells me it's definitely 35 when you hit it.
Love from Australia
I love goth b***hes so much it's unreal
I too am in Australia and not once have I ever seen a goth woman. I have seen goth men when I was at uni though and I did get a massive hardon thinking about them until I realized they were men and not women.
gay c**t
33 years old and 80% disabled according to the VA. Need to be more careful these days but I get along just fine. Whomever is saying that shit is a gay b***h.
if you're not fit in your 20s you'll not be fit in your 30s, and each passing year it gets harder to build muscle
>>if you're not fit in your 20s you'll not be fit in your 30s
For the most part. I did get fit in my 30s after a mostly sedentary life. But I don't really know anybody else like me.
33 and not even in great shape anymore but I can do all the same shit I did at 18 with about the same effort. People are just using age as an excuse to be lazy. The only physical difference I've noticed at this age is it takes a little longer to recover from a legitimate injury or pulled muscle.
Of course how you feel in your 30's depends largely on your lifestyle choices in your 20's. I exercised regularly in my 20's and didn't ever drink heavy after 22 so my body is in pretty decent condition.
turned 31 in Sept and staying lean is defo harder and it takes me much more time to recover between sets. Although when i turned 30 last year my bench was the strongest of all years. 30's is peak strentgh if you are into that. I just haven't matured yet to get married and shit, im still in my playbody phase and still got my hair so its all good.
>I just haven't matured yet to get married and shit, im still in my playbody phase and still got my hair so its all good.
You're at the age where women will throw themselves at you and family and society at large will expect you to finally settle down. If you do decide to get married eventually, 100% make sure its with your idea of the perfect woman. 1 year in a bad marriage will age you 10 years. I thought this was bullshit until I lived it. A man loses his youth when he gets married to the wrong woman.
Bro I'm 28 and consciously deciding I'm not going to commit unless I meet a girl with real real wife potential. Been single since Feb and on a few dates I just haven't rated the women that much. Like my close group of friends are all 2 year plus in relationships and becoming quite settled. Tell me it's gonna be alright lol
>Bro I'm 28
you are still very young. trust me, i wish i was 28 again
I'm 31, underweight as hell, and work a manual labor job. Get with it. Stop complaining.
I’m 38 and I haven’t felt a difference between 28 and 38. Maybe slightly more recovery time but it’s been so gradual that it’s barely noticeable.
Most people take 0 care of their body. I'm going on 33 and feel better than I did five years ago since I was having weird knee problems back then
>start lifting at 17
>stop at 20
>start lifting again at 30
>stronger at 31 than I was at 20
that means 1/2/3/4+ for reps
only difference is you don't get shit for free, you have to take care of your body and mind by your late 20s, but if you do it will perform
I don't know and all my friends my age (36) are still in pretty good shape. We sometimes have this conversation whether some things get harder with "age", although we obviously acknowledge we're not old. There is not much we can't do anymore or can't do as well as we could 10-15 years ago. I will say though, I've certainly had a few more back issues but they were mostly from bad habits, I might get a little more joint pain here and there and yeah sometimes I do have to work around certain pains or injuries when I lift. These are all not chronic issues though, at least not yet. I am the biggest, strongest and leanest version of myself right now and personally I've always felt that I continuously, progressively got better in every aspect in the last 16 years since I turned 20.
30 is the age of Gay Death in the gay community, so i hear. everyone you are communicating with online who talks like your greentext is gay and is dealing with the end of their viability in the homosex marketplace.
That’s because all the drugs gays do ages them 3x faster than normal
>listening to IRL doomers
IST should have taught you to automatically filter morons.
i am 59, 5-10, 164ilbs.. played hard when young redneck country kid, , drove race cars, close to 20 different broken bones, back, legs, feet, hips, arms, hands , have rods and screws everywhere, hurt constantly but....i go to gym every day and lift
Are you on TRT or have considered it?
I'm 31. My hairline is fricked but other than that I feel great. I noticed recovery had taken a slight hit for sure but I figured out I just couldn't coast on four hours of sleep anymore but sleeping more has been all around an improvement in my life.
I don’t know the exact stats but assuming you’re American by 30 years old 50-60% of the population is overweight or obese and has been for a few years. Another 10-15% who are skinny fat and have little muscle (especially in their back/core). Throw in another 2-5% who either have a genetic predisposition to their body falling apart or suffered an injury earlier in life. Now you have 2/3 to 3/4 of the population whose body starts falling to pieces.
Just take care of your self. Don’t be overweight or completely inactive and don’t eat only dogshit food and you’ll be fine. Some things will start to change as you get older but if it’s all going to shit at 30 then it’s because you have neglected taking care of yourself
seriously, people online are talking about their 30s as if it were their 50s
what’s going on?
the microplastics are kicking in
>muh micro plastics
Stop spreading leftist climate fascism talking points you moron.
Modern day environments definitely are contributing to the decline of physical health. However, the bigger factors are definitely the fact that people are lazy gluttonous homosexuals. The vast majority of people want it easy. They'll take an entire cake along with a 2l bottle of coke because the immediate gratification of shit food is easier than lifting heavy thing. Not to mention they've never been fit to begin with so they have no idea how amazing it is to be fit. They're either deluded into thinking they can do the same as fit people or just have a pathetic whiny excuse. I still believe all obese c**ts should be left in a locked room with a hungry dog. Survival of the fittest should be applied to everyone before they're allowed to make decisions as an adult.
>birth defects/autism are increasing at all maternal ages
>test levels are way down
>trannies are way up
>there's no such thing as environmental pollutants Chud shut up
You notice your body declining by then
>why are terminally online, fat, out-of-shape losers saying that thing are hard to do after 30?
Think about it for at least a second please
Burning the candle at both ends has consequences.
Checked, and spoiler alert:
The people who say these things are genetic trash and/or didn't take good care of themselves. I'm 43 and look and feel fantastic.
>43
>still on IST
lol
You're here forever
Whatever helps you cope
>Makes fun of others for posting on IST
>Still posting on IST himself
Sign off and never come back. I dare ya.
I'm not 43. You're the weird uncle who still tries to act like he's in his college days. Let it go manchild.
I'm a completely different anon from who you originally responded too, but you're never going to leave here if you're still responding. You're just not capable of signing off and never coming back.
It's like being a fatty that decides he's going to get healthy starting next Monday because that'll give him a nice clean start. But man Monday comes and he's just too tired to go for a bike ride so you know it's Ok. He'll just eat right this week. But oh man Wednesday night is Quizzo night at the bar and you're gonna have to drink 3 or 4 beers so that days calories are shot. But it's fine, you'll just start over again next Monday. That'll give you a nice clean starting point.
You're fricked buddy.
>I'm not that anon but let me get the last word in, if you respond you lose!
Okay buddy. You're a cool guy and totally not a creepy old man staring at teenagers in the gym. I didn't read the rest. I assume it was just as moronic as the rest.
>Too moronic to stop responding
>Still thinks he'll ever leave here alive
Yeesh.
>not a creepy old man staring at teenagers in the gym.
what? I feel like you have zero life experience and just tries to connect everything back to archetypes you saw in memes
Give me another anonymous forum with some traffic for when I’m 40 then.
Black person I didn't even first visit IST until I was like 35.
You tasted free speech and it feels like you post regularly.
It's ok, you will accept it sooner or later.
You are here forever.
I lived this. A friend asked how often I worked out (6 days a week) and her fat friend interjected with "You won't have energy for that when you hit your 30's, just you wait". I'm also 43, and it turns out I'm a full ten years older than her.
She blubbered on for a few minutes about genetics before sucking off her 1500 calorie starbucks.
>be in your 20+s
>do not respond to upcoming responsibilities such as diet, workouts, skincare, so on
>hit 30
>fat piece of greasy slob with bad skin, bad hair, bad body, weak bones, nonexistent muscles, fragile health, permanent health conditions and newly introduced perma medications
I mean, why should I care about normies again?
>Is everyone on the internet biologically programmed to die at twenty or something? Why are they collapsing only a decade into adulthood?
Yes, YES
Its demoralization and fat fricks who ruined their joints. My relative is a firefighter in his early 60's and hes strong as frick. He spends summers extingishing forest fires in rough terrain.
when you're a fat frick and ruin your body in your 20s you're fricked in your 30s
Unlike your teens and 20s, once you're in your 30s you're not invincible anymore. If your body is healthy and you maintain it, it will continue to be strong, but if you get injured or let it fall into a state of neglect and decay, it will take A LOT of work to fix it, and some things will never return to the way they were when you were young (knees).
the strongest people in the world are 30-40 year olds
yeah your body degrades naturally as you get older but there are so many countermeasures you can take. It’s so easy being healthy lol all you need is the education and discipline.
I'm 32 and aside from a few injuries from wrestling, I'm good. People just use 30 as an excuse to try less. They'll say the same at 40 and 50 then they'll just fricking die
The thing with being in your 30s is you can't get away with anything else than a well planned workout schedule to maintain a good body. At the same time, you can't usually find the time to keep said schedule 100% in order. You are more likely to have a routine that revolves around working and having kids. When our son was born I gained 15 kgs. Overworking to support my new family, sleeping schedule got fricked, less time to cook proper food, and so on.
You're bad at planning and time management
Maybe I could've done better. But having a newborn at home means you can't get uninterrupted sleep for months. You wouldn't understand how that alone would wreck havoc in most people unless you've lived it.
37 here.
Did sports literally all my life and I feel absolutely normal.
All that crying you hear is from people who never exercised in their lives, had shit diets all their lives and whatnot
I'm also pretty happy with my body
Also 37 here.
The injuries add up and sometimes it truly is painful to do stuff. For me, it's not so much about the pain itself, the hard part is just keeping myself from doing shit to let injuries heal. The recovery does get much much slower.
Also, I was only 25 when I was diagnosed with a rheumatic disease and my back was fricked for the first time.
So genetics do play a big role. If you never have had any situation where you had to think twice whether you wanted to risk doing something, consider yourself lucky. I for example would never do a bungee jump. Way too much of a risk for my spine and eyes, not worth it. I had a chance to do one when I was 29, but already then knew the risks aren't worth it.
So from OP's post, I can kind of see where the middle three greentext lines come from. The first and last lines are bullshit though and just weak.
I think the people who say these sorts of things are really just experiencing the results of consuming goyslop and being sedentary for most of their lives, not strictly aging per se. I'm 32 and I put on at least 7lbs of muscle over the last year (body comp test) and that's despite lifting for 15 years. My body feels and responds the same way as it did throughout my 20's.
Im 36 and you zoomers can tongue my anus
They gave up early and instead of getting back in shape so they can do all those things they'd rather pretend they're an old man so they can keep being lazy.
This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.
Ahem.
30s should be the prime of a man's life.
to be fair I'm starting to get very stiff now that I'm 32.
but I've also gotten fat and fell in to alcoholism and binge eating.
the "HUR DURR I"M SO OLD" at 30 meme shit peaked on reddit and just went from there. hugbox bullshit
>be fat and weak
>suffer
>intensifies around 30
>muh aging
>lift heavy for the majority of my 20s
>hiit 32
>crippling neck pain every time I try to to any kind of flat bench press or deadlifting
>can barely do any barbell shit anymore, have to do crappy dumbbell stuff now
>and even that can result in severe neck pain and headaches
Scoliosis sucks
ITT zoomer is confused that his body isn’t built to last forever
America has the best athletes. cry more eurocucks
Because normies treat their bodies like shit AND are weak homosexuals at the same time. A deadly combination
I'm 34 and the strongest I have ever been. Most people I knew my age are fat and gave up on life. I was Army Airborne for 6 years in my 20s and jumped out of planes/helicopters dozens of times and ran thousands of miles in boots on concrete
>Don't you knees/back hurt
No
Most people just get fat, marry a fat girl, have fat kids and the peak accomplishment in their life was financing a house for 30 years they will pay for until they die
i started lifting at 30 after 20 years of sitting on my ass playing video games.
sure it's tough, but it's still pretty easy
Aging well in life is like a series of hurdles. You can be in a shit state at 30 but it's like failing the first hurdle, or maybe the second since so many people get fat after highschool now. You SHOULD be able to jump over the first hurdle but lots of people just don't. It should be socially discouraged more
just stop listening to morons and realise Arnold was 40 in Predator
I'm 36 and in great shape, however people really should be parents by 20 and dead by 45 or so.
Lifetime of bad habits starts building up at 30. Bad diet, lack of exercise, etc.
>lifetime
>30
I'm 38. I had a week of locked knees because an unknown rheumatic reaction and it wasn't funny at all. I could still walk around (albeit cringing with pain all the time) and bend it (albeit while resisting less pain than I'd enjoy to admit I was making that effort to resist). It's gone now. I bet I can live with it. It would suck, of course, but just as much as cutting some favourite food from my diet. "I miss bending my knees" for me is as bad as "I miss pizza".
You ARE biologically programmed to die at 20, life expectancy being so high is only due to modern medicine, diet and sanitation
