What's the point of lifting if you're already out of highschool/uni? I get it if you do it out of habit but why would anyone +25 start lifting? I don't get it, I really really don't. You'll get your first gains at +30
Even girls on tinder filter guys older than 25 or god forbid 29
to be strong and manly?
I don’t know about continuing to lift heavy or whatever, but keeping yourself lean is absolutely crucial to aging well.
This much is true. Being lean is incredibly important and keeping your blood pressure below 110 is what prevents heart attacks. IRC people who top at 107~ or so have a miniscule chance of ever experiencing one. Blood pressure is extremely important
My genes aren't very good and even then, 2 years? 3? You'll be old as fuck
I'm 29 and I fuck more girls on tinder than your whore mother fucks deadbeats from the local bar
that's impossible
kek
There are even that many women on tinder
There aren't that many atoms in the observable universe
>it takes 5+ years to see gains if you start lifting at 25
Wtf are you even doing, anon?
shitty bait, shitty thread, all fields
>your life stops at 30
Everyone thinks this when they are in their early 20s, but they're always wrong. 30 is when your life really begins to take off. That's when you hit the perfect balance between physical health, mental health, wisdom and wealth.
As long as you hit the gym, you will have the same stamina and strength as you did in your early 20s. Only now you're no longer a stupid kid. You've lived life and made all the mistakes people make in early adulthood and learned from them. And not least, you have the money to pursue to your interests and dreams, and the stamina to to follow through
Yeah basically this, OP. Unless you were a genetic freak athlete in high school, you’re generally going to be much stronger in your 20s to early 30s than you were as a still developing teenager.
Girls?
I’m
. What’s wrong with what I said?
>I don't get it
You don't get it?
I enjoy this shit.
Bring fit helps your career
This too. Would you rather be a lean, handsome engineer or a sloppy 'dad bod' engineer?
Being not obese or overweight helps you not die
Obesity also lowers your testosterone
That's just being a healthy weight, being strong is something else entirely and it takes some serious virility to accomplish this, it makes me feel alive
lmao imagine typing that out, then taking a screenshot of it and saving it to your computer
you know all these people around you who started to complain about back/knee pain when they were like 30?
You don't want to be one of them
>That one fat friend who had both of his knees randomly snap backwards during class in highschool
How can I prevent this?
Why doesn't everyone just kill themselves after turning 35?
Apparently those last 50 years are not worth living anymore, I guess
Maybe if you were 30 or even 35 yourself you would realize that you are painfully wrong. Why would they filter a guy that is better than you in every regard AND has a better body too? You could not possibly compete with me in your dreams.
It takes like 6-12 months to get noticeable gains depending on your effort and being fit will improve most aspects of your life
>health
>strength
>confidence
>social status
>attractiveness
etc
Can confirm.
Being doing calisthenics only for 10 months with extremely shitty diet and makeshift equipments (iron rod as a pull up bar, old school bag with stones as a weight 'vest') and I can mog thr fuck out of 2022 me.
Still I struggle with confidence/fear of confrontations, any tips on this front?

I'm 34 and my gf is 23.
You have zero idea how powerful a man in good shape and money in his 30's is.
I wish I wasn't dumb and poor then
Being "rich" ain't it, being secure is. Having your shit squared out and stable. You can always take your life into your own hands. If you want get smarter then read books or go to school.
Man doesn't need much to be happy, but being in the struggle will make you stronger.
If you want to get smarter then read books or go to school.*
Lot of "smart" people that never apply their intelligence and a lot of persistent people than accomplish great things.
a lot of persistent people that accomplish great things.*
Money won't make you happy but a simple life is best. Struggling is not a good time either.
It's the middle way, not excessive, not deprived, that's ideal. Balanced.
>improved health
>improved quality of life
>through those two improved IQ preservation into older age
>lifespan increased
Why would you stop being in shape ? As long as you don't roid and don't overdo it, why stop ?
I sometimes wonder where people get these post. I'm a fucking dyel but because I've started working more in the past 4 months I've had noticeable changes. Fucking first gains at +30? What the shit are you on? Legitimately. What the hell are you people doing?
>pic related its op
How old are you? Try being 25 when your metabolism starts to slow down, brain stops maturing and everything goes to shit
>brain stops maturing
maybe if you are a retard
Same old retard thread. I'm 31.
Because the older I get, the more my back hurts from just sitting at a computer and I want a strong back to counteract that.
Metabolism get worse with age and I need more muscle mass to deal with overeating on what used to be a "normal portion".
No matter what age I want to look good. Be it 18 or 80.
Lifting heavy weights increases my confidence and willpower, maybe just from exercising my muscles, maybe just the test boost.
Because it gives me more energy when I'm not lifting, and makes it easier to fall asleep when I have that day.
And most of all, because I owe it to myself to see what I am capable of. Reaching peak physique is just one part of the picture.
Because I want to look like this when I'm 40 years old
Is it true that I can use growth hormones to improve my jawline?
