Anyone here who is 30+ or getting close to 30?

>38
>posting anime

>Younger girls love me.
Literally the best feel.
Don't worry younger guys, you'll get there too after you've had a few practice gfs.
>My hairline has receded ever so slightly.
Mines fucking gorn m8

just turned 32

just stopped getting carded

overall i feel like im healthy and there's not much of a difference in health

but at the same time i played college football and used to go partying/dancing after playing a game. in recent years ive been sore the day after a softball game lol, but at the time i wasnt working out

>The my aches and pains?
somewhat.. I don't recover quite as well as I used to from sports. I'm never sore from lifting, but sometimes if I grind too much when I play hockey I get a bit sore all over.

I will mention tendinitis. I get mild bouts of tendinitis in my elbows from having lifted for almost a decade. They go away after a few days though.

>My back hurts?
I work in software so I'm sitting all the time BUT I deadlift heavy af and have good posture. Rarely have back/neck pains or headaches, ever. Sometimes I'll tweak my shit up by jerking my back or neck in random exercises like db lat raises. Would probably be the same result if I was 20 imo.

>My wrinkles on my faces?
n/a

>I gotta nap every day im so tired
I never nap. rarely tired. I think that might have to do with people having shit diets as they get older and stop caring about themselves.

>My knees owe
again I squat lmao4plate so idk, my knees are alright. I get weird tenderness and bruising in my quadriceps tendons from biking if I go for anything over ~25km

>Whats this strange mole, oh it's cancer?
ehhh idk im tanned I love the beach. I just assume all moles are cancer and im gonna die from skin cancer when im 40.

>Do you feel any different physically from your 20's?
I was a drug-addled alcoholic mess in my twenties, so I feel quite different physically m8

This thread makes me feel better about ageing.

How is your skin oldanons?

>the greatness of being fit in your 30s.
Namely your now elderly parent think you're gay, and the pressure of giving them grandchildren when you didn't get to fuck when you were in your twenties because you were a weak piece of shit but now after years of blood, sweat and tears you're a better man, a self made man, and all the women that surround you aren't worthy of a pity fuck yet alone carrying your progenitor.

so far so good, my petal tendon hurts a bit, but everything is great right now. Males peak in their 30s boys... hang in there.

>you'll get there too after you've had a few practice gfs.
fuck you old man

fuck off back to plebbit, summerfag

>Males peak in their 30s boys
GOOD males peak, I already have arthritis in one elbow and a fucked knee because of a length discrepancy.

>gave up drinking and stopped using it as a social crutch

same here. I'll have maybe 2-3 singles when we go out, rather than 8 before the bar, doubles and shots all night, etc..

Wish I'd have had this mentality 10 years ago desu

>In better shape then 99% of those in their 20's

>and all the women that surround you aren't worthy of a pity fuck yet alone carrying your progenitor.

>31.5 years old
>high school athlete, stayed active all through my 20's
>currently in best shape of my life. strongest/ leanest

No age hasn't taken a toll on my body, partying/drinking/working crazy hours did. When I cut the booze out, ALL of my ailments, pains, energy loss disappeared. No alcohol at all, so fucking good.

I do need a full night sleep and a proper diet to feel peak level performance. But I have more energy now than I did in my 20's.

My face has aged a bit, my hair has receded a bit. It looks distinguished >embrace it

The best advice I can give for younger anons is to cut the drinking out or cut back greatly. I can't begin to express the life gains I have made because of this, it's something you have to experience yourself.

>When I cut the booze out, ALL of my ailments, pains, energy loss disappeared. No alcohol at all, so fucking good.

Best advice I have gotten from here so far.

>losing my hair

>disgusting skinnyfat body

huh

Most strength athletes peak in their thirties to forties.

I wish I stopped earlier, but I wasn't ready.

It's insane to be out of drinking. I really don't want a drink at all. What's insane is to see how much our society revolves around drinking, and how much people sacrifice because they want to get a buzz on.

It's not easy at first to not drink, you realize A lot about yourself and sometimes you want to escape it, but there is nowhere to go. you are stuck with you.

It's horrible isn't it?
I just can't shake the feeling of being invisible for three decades, missing out on "normal" experiences, and now having these sloppy tarts gunning for the d when that tight blonde over there eye fucking me while the poor dude next to her tries his hardest, but I can see him die a little on the inside because that dude used to be me, and I know that feeling.
Seriously fuck women and their R-K biological selection imprints.
Sometimes I feel like just telling guys to forget about women until they're 30 themselves.
Imagine if Everyman in the world 29 and under just stopped approaching women and treated them purely platonically? 100% equal with no regard for their sex or gender.
I think that would become a hell on Earth for them and I would relish it.

People who say this shit are sedentary fucks who treat their bodies like shit and poison themselves with alcohol multiple times per week for years.

Bodies should hold up to strenuous lifting up until later 30s, after that you just need to be smarter about how you lift.

Prime lifting years are ages like 10-28 anyway. If you started lifting hard in your 20s or even late teens you're late to the elite party. Just lift and fuck whatever the world is doing or tells you to do.

>What's insane is to see how much our society revolves around drinking, and how much people sacrifice
It's disgusting isn't it?
People literally poison and retard themselves for an evening of "fun" every Friday and Saturday night.

>Younger girls love me.

37 here, this.

Welcome to /fit. Read the sticky. Now get out and be gentle with them girls.

nice to see im not the only guy who came to the realization that binge drinking is for fucking degenerates.

I still drink, but severely less than I did when I was younger.

Mid thirties here.

>Everything is lovely. I have to card girls regularly. Women my age know I've got better options.

>Aches and pains are nonexistent.

>Face is slim, you'll notice when comparing old photos that a rounder face is the main sign of aging - ie even if a person is literally just a few pounds overweight, it shows up in their cheeks first the older you get.

I try not to think of it as disgusting or be judgemental about, even though it is my default thought, I feel empathy. I know what its like, i've been fortunate enough to pull my head out of that fog and I hope those around me get the same chance.

They don't stop on just Friday/Saturday. Coworkers and acquaintances always talk about their roommates having massive hangovers on weekdays like that shit isn't going to affect them.

26 here. Healthiest ive ever been so i have no reference but i shouldnt complain. Guess its all downhill from here. I wish i hadnt spent my teens eating biscuits. Fucking loose skin.

I had to go to AA to get of the sauce.

it really helped my mental fitness

32 here. I feel and look as I did when I was 21.

People don't believe me being 32. Live on water,

eat right, lift, and...

>Muh genetics

If I was 30 and still browsing Veeky Forums I'd kill myself 2bh. Fucking pathetic lmao.

>If I was 30 and still browsing Veeky Forums I'd kill myself 2bh. Fucking pathetic lmao.

this is actually the best combination of fitness/entertainment as far as online communities go. I don't browse any other boards, but Veeky Forums is a cool.

I bet you don't even lift

not 30 yet, but agreed. I'll probably still be here when I hit 30.

I feel exactly this way as well. Started dating some girl when I was skinnyfat after an injury. Made gains and now get mired all the fucking time. She lifts as well and is 7 years younger but nowhere near me looks-wise. She also can't make fucking gains for shit

We've been together for 3-4 years now and I feel ever increasing need to back out of the relationship to find some high test female with better looks.

Is this totally shallow of me? Nothing else in the relationship is really 'wrong'

34 y/o here. I can feel aches and pains that never used to be around. Inflexibility and mobility issue compound as you get older. Can't eat like im 24 anymore. My best piece of advice I can give younger dudes is to stretch and do mobility everyday. Also never give a fuck what a bitch may or may not think about you.

>Imagine if Everyman in the world 29 and under just stopped approaching women and treated them purely platonically? 100% equal with no regard for their sex or gender.

Mate, Woman are physically and mentally inferior to men overall. They have their uses and are superior for some roles which usually involve emotional support such as a mother and some other professions.

If we stop approaching woman and disregarded them they would fucking kill themselves man.

Woman have no fucking uses besides being our emotional tampons and sex toys.

They are not our equal.

> Live on water
Go on...
Depends on how long you spend here.

While you are taking a shit or waiting for something? Sure

but if you come here and spend hours and hours refreshing. I can agree.

Looking nice, what's your routine bro?

turning 30 this year never felt younger.
life is good.
no aging meme whatsoever.

Hey there Eggman

Just my personal opinion but stick with her.

I feel loyalty is a mans best attribute and is respected by other men especially.

You might just be getting bored of her which is normal after 3-4 years. I was the same after the 4th year of my last GF.

She left me due for other reasons but now I am with another girl and I plan to stay with her even if she balloons.

She has been loyal to you (I assume) so be loyal to her. Looks come and go but a woman you can tolerate for more then 15 fucking mins is hard.

You just solved the problem of sexual violence! Nice one bro!

I have friends my age, 26-30 range, who take months to recover if they trip while running. It all depends on how well you take care of your self.i feel the same as when I was 16 if not better, stronger and smarter. And I'm not even all that Veeky Forums I just consistently tire my muscles (including the heart) out and give them time to recover.
I really think consistency is the key.

Not me. Saved for mirin later

No clue where hes from but also mirin. Assumed roided as fuck.

>weaker
>body hurts
>lifting harder
>harder to make progress
>less energy
>skin turns to shit

Where the fuck did you hear all these inanities? No, you don't die when you turn 30. There's barely any difference, provided that you have a healthy lifestyle of course.

Can confirm, I'm pretty much in the same boat, I'm just three years older.

mh. Maybe you didn't train for so long? >consistency is the key.

Yep, same.

Also, may I add: you're less of an idiot when you're 30. You're more constant in your proposals, you're more self-aware of your goals, you don't do the stupid shits you've already done, you're more independent... and all this has nice feedbacks on your lifestyle and health. If you decide to care about it.
I feel like maybe - maybe - some men (and some women too) decide to care less if they engage in a meme marriage. At least, that's what I noticed. Maybe they've accomplished their biological goal and move to different ones, just an interpretation.

Anyway 30-something men are in no way (imho) comparable to 30-something women, unless they are really taking care of themselves and have some upper tier genetics.

Sure, you check more what you eat. Anyway I've more mobility now than at 23 - what gives? I always regarded the emphasis on stretch and mobility exercises as a meme. I do those when I have some stiff muscle after a training, and this doesn't occur often - and it doesn't occur more often. Maybe check your diet again? Diet makes a huge difference

If you´re a man who excercise reguarly and have a good diet, then you should not worry. Keep lifting, do cardio, have a healthy diet and avoid drugs/alchohol.

That's super gay bro, no offence.

I was worried that was natty. Was starting to feel pretty inferior.

29
No, I was fat as a fatass in 2014. Lost 80, leaner than I have ever been now.
>Questions
no,no,no, I have pimples that I haven't had in 8 years.
>Advice
Discipline when your younger is better than regret in your older.

Nearly 31.
Definitely harder as you get older but I think a lot of that is no only the ageing process, but all the increased responsibility and priority shifts as you get older. It takes more effort and self discipline to make sure you get the work done with diet and gym.
This is especially true if your motivation was banging hot chicks, and now you find yourself settled down with a wife and kids.
All my married friends are fat and weak.
I'm the only one with a reasonable body.
Feel better than ever tbqhfam.

I have more half naked men then naked woman saved on my computer by at least 10:1

Nothing wrong with a mirin folder as long as it's just for looking and admiring. I use them for motivation and a goal.

>I was worried that was natty. Was starting to feel pretty inferior.
I have found the best way to tell if they are roided is to compare their bodies to those that already publicly say they roid or compare to those that very clearly roid with some sort of evidence.

yeah i mean thats the thing. We get along really well, she's just below average looks but works really hard and has a great personality.

I guess i have this urge to bang sluts because I was awkward and shy in my early twenties and now that I'm more successful and jacked, I have sluts literally flinging themselves at me. You're right though, some one night stands are probably not worth it

so you're saying masturbating to pictures of men is wrong?

35 here. Kept lifting and HIITing for about the last 15 years.
>Experienced any of the ageing memes you heard about alot?
>The my aches and pains?
Elbow tendinitis, shoulder subluxes occasionally, and have to recover an extra day sometimes.
>My back hurts?
No, thank god.
>My wrinkles on my faces?
Babyface
>I gotta nap every day im so tired
Less tired. You need less sleep in your 30s than early 20s.
>My knees owe
No, thank god.
>Whats this strange mole, oh it's cancer?
Did have cancer at 31 (lymphoma), luckily caught early and had insurance (amerifat here), chemo and radiation, now 4 years cancer free. Feelsgoodman.
>Do you feel any different physically from your 20's? not including the gains you made
Most significant difference is that it is waaay easier to gain fat. In my 20s, I could have fast food now and then and as long as I worked out I'd at least pull even. Not any more. I can go from 6pack to spare tire with one bad weekend.

On the bright side, I'm mentally tougher than I was in my 20s, so if I set myself to drinking green tea and kale smoothies, I do it. I don't kid myself into thinking I have the potential I had at 22, but I just plain look better than I did then because I'm tougher and more diligent.

I'm 41
Still pick up 21 year old college sloots at bars (and I don't even drink)
Can't lift as heavy as I used to due to joint issues but I can maintain what I have just fine

I think a lot of young guys on here start lifting in their 20s and get despondent when the girls aren't flocking to them when they get 16" arms. My only advice is to readjust your expectations because unless you're a) Brad Pitt b) loaded or c) traveling, attractive girls just aren't going to fall into your lap when you're a young man.

But it is absolutely vital that you keep lifting and stay lean. It pays dividends when you hit your 30s and most men your age become horribly out of shape.

Oh and stay the fuck away from strength training unless your goals are explicitly strength oriented. It's awful for your joints and will lead to injuries further down the road. Nobody cares about your DL 1RM, least of all women.

>Oh and stay the fuck away from strength training unless your goals are explicitly strength oriented
Expand on this?
What determines if your lift is heavy enough to be awful for your joints?

I can OHP 60kg for 4 sets of 8 reps
Bench 120kg for 3 sets of 5 reps.

Is this in the danger zone? I do no DL or squat

29 here
I feel fitter than ever

29 here and never been in better shape

Young chicks (jailbait included) are miring hard. Life is good.

Only noticable thing is I need way more time to recover after getting wasted. Like at least 2 days

I'm 33 and never felt better. I'm more focused, have more money in the bank and fuck a lot more than I did in my 20s.

Don't know if other anons feel the same, but not being broke is actually a huge boost to fitness levels. You can eat better quality meals, pay for extra activities, have a small weight room + boxing bags at home because you no longer live in your mom's basement or some shit-tier student room and unlike what people say, you actually have more free time because you don't have to stay awake until 4 in the morning writing shit to your university. The moment you walk out of the office, the day belongs to you and only you.

I don't miss being 20, but in all honesty I'm worried about the incoming 40s, I bet they will suck fitness wise.

31 here. I'm in the best shape of my life, stronger than ever. I get a lot more 20-something girls mirin'. Not sure if it's that I'm more confident, fit, or both. Never had a problem with bad skin, but I did get shingles last year, probably from stress of moving and starting a new job.
I'm enjoying the 30's so far, a lot more than my 20's. I have my shit figured out, a good career, money in the bank and a decent lifestyle.
My wife was chubby for most of her 20's. She went keto, started lifting and looks better than I've ever seen. The wall doesn't always hit after 30, sometimes women get better later in life. Starting chubby helped her develop a personality.
If you aren't on your way to figuring out your shit by 28, you're fucked. If you do figure it out, your 30's can be fucking awesome.

As long as you're not masturbating to them, ya scamp ;)

Just don't want to fall into the bitter DYEL trap, but that's a good rule of thumb

35yo oldfag here

Did curlbro horseshit in my 20s made no gains. Started barbells around 30 and got into it more seriously around 32. Current 1RMs are 170,300,315,460 on ohp,bench,squat,dead.

I found I could make good, but slow gains. Hit 300lb bench right after my 35th birthday. I should be a lot further on considering I've been lifting properly for 5y, I don't know if it's age or if it's lack of sleep due to work & 3 kids, or a couple of hard resets due to pneumonia, and one time I injured myself doing leg press (never again).

Well at least I have 2 sons and 1 daughter who are gonna train the right way from the start, and become solid by the time they're 20

Hows life with kids user.

How do you deal with less free time and management?

I'm 27 and started lifting only 1 1/2 years ago.
Too late for gains desu senpai

One day you'll wake up and be 30, and you'll still be here.

>youarehereforever.jpg

>Personally I am 25 and I have nobody else in my life to ask these questions to.
>I have already started to moisturise my face avoid the sun as much as possible.

you should've done this a long time ago buddy. i've been doing this since i was 14-15 and i'm 25 now. i get people telling me i look 18 daily.

the rest of my body is at its peak right now. just ran 9 miles up hill on sunday. no signs of slowing down.

26yo here only recently started lifting (with serious intent). My joints get hurt easily, gotta wear compression sleeves. That has more to do with terrible diet, alcoholism, lack of exercise, and bad form during the previous years of my life though.

Closing in on 28 and overall pretty happy with my life.
I do have a number of nagging pains and injuries that come and go due to the years of lifting, but honestly they're all from doing stupid shit that's caught up to me, moreso than just my body deterioating due to age.

stupid ass bitch! men only get better the older they get. 30 is not even prime age for a man. Take renaissance painting master Bernini for instance. Here he is at 25( just like you faggot ass baby face ), all baby faced and looking like a dumb-ass weak piece of shit. Then him at 37 looking like a man who can get shit done right. In closing, men are going to have better skin, higher bone and muscle maturity and overall a better body than little faggot 20 year olds.

>>How have you noticed ageing take a toll on your health, fitness and your body?

No because I'm not a woman.

...

This is weirdest shit I've seen all week. Get the fuck out, you freak.

getting old and weak is a normie meme for people who drank through their 20s

He's right though you fucking bitch

I'm 23 now. Hopefully by the time I'm thirty I'll have at least entered medical school and be on my way to pursue a career as an anesthesiologist. Still a lot of pre requirements to complete.

kek why so late bro, good luck though!

I'm 23 myself, 5th year medical student. 1,5 years and i'll start my specialisation.

I'm not quite 29.
Small pains seem to gather more easily and take longer to go away than they used to, but none of them are special new pains, just the same soreness or back tweaks I've ever gotten. In fact, from all the squatting my knees are stronger than they've ever been and only hurt when I have the flu.
I got a serious sunburn this weekend and I honestly seem to be recovering better than the last serious one I had.
Missed sleep hurts me much worse, that's the biggest thing I've noticed. In college if I got only 5 hours of sleep I'd be tired and groggy; now I feel like half a human, and existence is pain.
Skin seems fine, maybe a couple very fine lines around my eyes, but I've been doing basic skin care stuff (moisturizer and sunscreen, mild exfoliation twice a week) for almost as long as I've been lifting.
It is harder to make progress in lifts, but I think that's because it's been 6 years and I'm nearing the limits for the amount of work (and chemicals) I'm willing to put in.

I'm definitely still on a slow upward trend of horniness, which is weird because I'd always heard that peaked around 20 years old.

Hornyness peaks a year or two after the start of puberty, so like 14-15 years old

I am 25 and I masturbate around 5-10 times per day.

I remember when I was in highschool I'd be lucky to hit 2 times.

That brings up a good point. Those who are in their 30's.
How hard is your cock? Still a diamond like in your 20's? or is it softer? Can you get it up easy?

Because I went to nursing school first straight out of high school. Thought it would be worth it. Now I'm done and I've realized that a doctor's work is much more interesting than a nurse. I've worked with a lot of anesthesiologists and their job is a lot cooler than most doctors.

And at this point it will be harder for me to take a masters in nurse anesthesia than getting into medical school.

I'm not doubting your personal experience, I'm just stating that the average peak of hornyness for most people is around 15 years old rather than the 20 you believed it to be.

As for your other question, erectile dysfunction tends to increase with age, libido goes down as well. Though that is a slow progression and people in their 30's likely won't have any problems, it starts becoming more of a problem past the 50's.

Anesthesiology is cool, it would be my second or third choice. The thing I miss is the long term follow up of patients. I've realized a big part of the joy of working as a 'future' doctor is the satisfaction of being able to help or cure people and their thankfulness for your service. As an anesthesiologist you miss out on this.

Best of luck, I gotta go and start my night shift at the gynaecology department ... (can't recommend it).

Different user but good luck.
I tried to get in and failed (Ausfag).

Tried in undergrad and failed then tried postgrad and failed.

Don't give up user. If you can spare the time to prepare and get in do it.

I was not able to due to finances.

I'm about your age, I haven't injured myself lifting, but I have plenty of injuries left over from being young and stupid and playing american football and skiing. Lifting is a way to prevent injuries for me, and while I tend to take fewer risks now, I think that overall it's paid off.

>Is it true you feel much weaker and your body hurts? It lifting harder and is it harder to make progress? Do you feel like you have less energy? Is it true your skin turns to shit really easily?
I'm 22 and I feel these things now...

You doing cardio? It's important for those last two especially.

Thanks guys.

I'm 45. I've always been big and strong, despite living a mostly sedentary lifestyle. I go through spurts of hyper-dedication and build muscle and lean down. I was indestructible until I hit 40. I then started having minor pains and stiffness. I'm in one of those periods of hyper-dedication and I feel fantastic; about what I remember it feeling like when I was at my peak, in my late 20's. I'm pushing just as much weight around, I just have to be really carefully of how I unrack the weights and maneuver with them. I also very rarely stretch or work on mobility, so that would probably help greatly toward my pain issues.

Good luck! Getting older and dealing with with mortality isn't pleasant.

>Hows life with kids user.

It's very hard initially. You're used to doing things outside work on your own schedule and suddenly you have this little tyrant who doesn't give a shit about your plans or whims.

Going from one to two is the hardest though - previously I could take turns with my wife, but with 2 you can forget about free time until both kids are asleep.

Going 2 to 3 isn't as bad as 1 to 2 because you're already used to having almost no free time.

>How do you deal with less free time and management?

I manage to find time to lift 4x a week by having a home gym.

But more importantly, I deal with it by sticking to a schedule and strict, clear division of duties between me and my wife. E.g. I made it clear before we had kids that she will be the one to deal with them when they wake up in the middle of the night for whatever reason. If you find yourself in a position with a woman who wants to get married and have kids, make it absolutely clear from the beginning what your expectations of her are and you are/are not willing to sacrifice, and hold her to these promises.

I'll add that my skin is still pretty good. Most people are surprised when they find out I'm 45. However, I've never smoked, never drank, and never done any drugs. My only vice is a propensity for a shit diet. It's probably a little genetic, as well. My Mom looked very youthful until her lung disease started killing her.

41 here, have always taken care of myself, still moving and running and lifting like I used to.

stretching and mobility is important. diet is super important.

30 year old user here. The age where teens still mire you and you are old enough to get respect from older people

I started working out again when I was 24 after having done nothing for 6 years. I grew up playing a lot of sports, swimming, speed skating, judo and hockey. In the end I only played hockey and the team aspect killed the fun for me.

I look better than ever, feel stronger and healthier than ever before.

I have yet to come across some of these ageing memes, if any its older guys that blame the lack of motivation and or results on age. Yes you do get older but just be the best looking older guy among your group of older guys.

Goal body right here

Are you from the Netherlands by chance?
