I think if you're good at the sport and you don't reluctantly do it, there's no age limit. If it's in your blood, you'll hardly leave it. You lower the volume but you push it all the time.

Many boys practice this sport just to appear, without patience... falling along the road.

For my 40th birthday I can't complain.

I'm 47 & itching to get back in the gym! Plan on going till I arrive at "assisted living" facilty.

Been training since I was 16 and I’m 40 now, not had a break except for when I’m away on holiday or the week around Christmas and I intend to keep training until I’m no longer able to.

The big decision for me will be when I decide to stop cycling and just stay on trt year round (been trt’ing with normally two cycles a year for a few years now). I’m thinking some time in my 50’s maybe?

I’m an old person and I’m at the gym (not during the pandemic) 6 days a week. Not looking to stop any time soon.

Death

I plan on training until I kick the bucket. I’m fully aware that I may have to drop powerlifting for something more GPP related when I get older, but I plan on always doing something. I have a bet with my woman that I’m gonna outlive her and I’m not about to lose that bet lol

I plan to go as hard as I can for as long as I physically can. Even if I suffered a catastrophic injury that severely reduced my physical capabilities I would do whatever I could to push my new limits. I can't imagine a life where I wasn't constantly pushing myself and keeping one foot out of my comfort zone.

I didn't get serious, really serious about training until my mid to later 30s and am 46 now. I'm in some of the best shape I've ever been in and have every intention of going until my body tells me otherwise.
There are guys at my gym who are pushing 60 and are absolutely peeled (and still getting on stage). Shit, I spotted for a guy a while back who was pushing 495lbs for 2-3 reps and hes nearly 60. I see these guys as an inspiration. I plan to be those guys.

I've been gym training for 38 years now. I miss the energy, strength and size that some good gear can give you. But I had to give that stuff up, and when I did, I got depressed at the changes in my body. That's when I understood guys who blast and cruise....we have worked hard and don't want to see it go away.

Sometimes, when I'm in the gym struggling to bench a weight that I used to curl, I wonder what's the point? I think that I should just give it all away....but I can't. It has been so much a part of my life for so long, that I think I would be doing myself a disservice in a way.

Then I look at a mate of mine who is 6 months younger than me, grossly obese, and has advanced diabetes. A couple of months ago he fell over and broke his hip and shoulder - now he walks with a limp and a cane. I don't want to be like that.

I came through ICU a few years ago, andI believe it was because I was physically fit and healthy. So when I get my down moments, I think of the heart health benefits, and other benefits including maintaining muscle and bone strength, as well as physical flexibility. Then there is the added bonus of ego and aesthetics - people still complement me, and that provides that extra encouragement to continue.

That was the long answer. The short answer is: for as long as I physically can.

Run it till it runs out of gas

Training till I drop. Juicing until about 50. Then just a little trt and cialis.

I see myself training as long as I'm breathing. Been doing this already 20+ yrs.

Until the day I can’t stand naked in the mirror, flex, and say to my wife, “oh yea, look at this” albeit the focus may be on my nuts banging my knee caps, but regardless.

Ima lift till I'm so old I physically can't. It's only down hill from that point.
