Oh my god it's fucking real

30 isn't even that old. You probably just need a deload.

I've been 30 for half a year, don't notice shit,

>>76287842 (OP)
Mullein tea, Cordyceps mushroom supplements (both for lung capacity), red light therapy (increased mitochondria ATP production), baking soda and potassium bicarbonate (sodium-potassium pump regulation), zinc (testosterone production), bonemeal and bonegelatine (bone density and joint collagen production), lions mane mushroom (BDNF and neuron protection)

I'm 30 and I am stronger, faster, have more endurance and am generally smarter than a 20 year old today

You are lazy idiot who has been demoralized and don't really want to fix his life

What a wild and hostile take against someone saying theyre just gassing out sooner than before
No wonder you faggots are lonely

>>76287842 (OP)
you're just depressed. quite literally--go touch grass.

t. 34 and get SAD, it all goes away when I spend a few hours in the sun

I'm 32 and the only sign of age is my left hip that sometimes hurts after a heavy squat session

>>76288750
My left hip started hurting too when I do squats. Very frustrating.

>>76287842 (OP)
You’re just unhealthy

>>76287842 (OP)
youre 30 not 50 stop crying and fist yourself

>>76288331
None of those things do anything. Why do niggas think eating half a gram of dehydrated mushrooms will be better than a whole foods plant based diet and lots of exercise and sleep

>turn 30

Oh god

also 30 and don't feel this way either. OP is a fag.

>>76287842 (OP)
You're still in your prime at 30, take advantage of it.
I'm 38 and I don't get gassed during workouts but the recovery is definitely slower nowadays. I've also always had a great metabolism but that's slowed down in the past few years so I have to pay more attention to my diet. I'm waiting for the inevitable injury or whatever that humbles me and makes me feel my age but it hasn't come yet so full speed ahead until then.

>>76289187
what's the routine chief? 30 here, and 20lbs too heavy

>>76287842 (OP)
I tried taking a bbc the other night and got super sore mid way through and had to tell my bull to stop

44 here (yes, really).
I assure you, there is very little difference between 22-32. Perhaps if you are an Olympic-level athlete that counts progress in milliseconds there would be an appreciable difference, but you are not, so stop mindfucking yourself.
The 40's actually hasn't been so bad so far, but age has definitely been on my mind way more because someday sooner rather than later it will be bad.

Actually one thing I noticed as I got in my 30s was that caffeine became less of a cheat code for powering through workouts. I would crash half way through. Good carb loading however would keep me going. Maybe you're just drinking too much coffee or Bangs or whatever you kids do these days

I'm 31 and every intense workout w/o aggravating any of my latent injuries is a success and I mean it unironically. Then again I could probably use like 6 months completely off or with just calisthenics.

>>76287842 (OP)
Consistent doesnt mean good.

I have seen multiple edits of him

>>76288304
Yeah he needs a D-load amiright?

>>76287842 (OP)
Its possible you just dont enjoy your old routine anymore. Switch shit up, even if it's suboptimal. Do kettlebells, sprints, sports, strongman, whatever. Even if you suck at it. Get workout buds also.

>>76289349
>someday sooner rather than later it will be bad
It's only in your 60's and 70's that physical capability drops off a cliff.

>>76289349
50s here. Thing to avoid is injury as healing is a lot slower.
>>76292299 I know guys still sprinting 60s and 70s, some of whom are pretty rapid. Drop off here starts mid 30s but you can keep things respectable all the way through to about 70, where the drop-off accelerates. Impressive given the state of the average 60 or 70 year old. Some of the women are also quick.
Injury prevention (conditioning) is key.

>>76292425
>Drop off here starts mid 30s
At a rate of one percent or less. A 45 year is at worst 85% capacity of his 30 year old self. People talking like they're senile crippled pensioner at 35 need to get a grip. Also training slows down the decline.

Agree about the histrionics.
There is a drop, that why there's age grading (35+, used to be 40+), and not everyone decays at the same rate. I got back into it after years of being a sedentary lump, made worse by meds. Its difficult to get back what you lose and I wish I had managed to keep going.

>>76287842 (OP)

You shouldn't be getting that worn down at 30, especially if you've been training consistently and you're relatively fit.

>>76292173

This.

OP I don't know how long you've been training, but if you've been doing the same exact routine for years, maybe this is the problem. I had an injury recently, and I was out of the gym for 4 months. I've been back for about 5 weeks now, and I knew I had to do something different. The first 2 weeks were just light full-body workouts to ease back in, but 3 weeks ago I switched up my routine and started a push/pull/legs split. Before my injury, I was doing the bro-split, the only way I had ever trained. I also tweaked some other stuff but that's not important here.

It's only been three weeks, so too early to see how the results will be, and I'm still easing back into certain heavy lifts to avoid re-injury, but one side effect is that the change-up has also been a great motivator. I was doing the bro-split because it's how I learned to work out, but I find that I enjoy PPL way more. So maybe you just need to switch it up a bit?

>>76288748

This too though.

OP it honestly it sounds like you're letting all of that "30 is so old" stuff from social media get into your head. Could be other shit too. How's work going, are you stuck in a job you hate? Spending 40+ hours a week in a place that is unbearably miserable will sap the fucking life out of you whether you're 30 or 20.

>>76292602
>How's work going, are you stuck in a job you hate? Spending 40+ hours a week in a place that is unbearably miserable will sap the fucking life out of you whether you're 30 or 20.
Could be. I'm doing 45 hours a week as a manager (do not like) while putting myself through an engineering degree.

The other anon had a good point too, I could try mixing it up a little bit. I wanna swim so badly but I had eye surgery recently and Doc says no. I did want to try out more calisthenics though, could be a start.

>>76292608

>Could be. I'm doing 45 hours a week as a manager (do not like)

Makes sense. I work for a small company in a field where only the big corps have managers/supervisors, but man, I've worked in a lot of different industries and I was a manager in a temporary seasonal position for a while. The managers were the ones who had to answer for all of the dumb shit the hourly workers did.

>while putting myself through an engineering degree.

Well, shit.

I think you answered your own question, you're working 45 hours a week in a job you don't like and pursuing a degree in a field that is known for being difficult, no wonder you're fucking tired. You'll be alright, you're gonna make it bro.

>>76289187
Did you learn planche before iron cross? Can you tell about your iron cross progression?

>>76287842 (OP)
yea. even though I was always athletic (sports from a young age, varsity athlete in high school, all that), and never got out of shape, I still never really treated fitness as a lifestyle. sports were just things I did. was always capable but never near my peak form. now in my early 30s and doing what I can to make up for lost time, but I wish I could go back in time and talk to 10 year old me and guide him.

never had a father, and my mother was a psycho. no I'm not black but I'm not white either. fucking sucks growing up without guidance.

Cordyceps flower from the Chinese supermarket gave me skin lesions on my arms small patches that felt like a 1st degree burn. It's supposed to make autoimmune disease worse. I haven't bothered figuring out the dose because that side effect takes a couple weeks to appear and disappear and the other effects aren't worth the trouble.

SAD isn't real. I lived in some of the cloudiest cities around for years, and never got SAD. It's all in your head from having no friends.

life sucks then you die.

what I hate the most is that I can't take my wisdom that I have now in my late 20s and tell it to grade school or high school or even college me.

so much of your life really is dependent upon the advice you are given in your environment.

>>76296203
SAD probably doesnt happen to people who spend their entire lives 18 hours a day jacking off to weird porn and watching cartoons in a dark room.
