    Much stronger than my early twenties, now 32. I had to adjust my diet to keep the same body fat level. Used to eat anything, now I have to eat cleaner than anyone I know. I hope to keep getting stronger into my early 40's and then get into maintenance.

    I was much stronger at 37 than 27,,,,,But now I'm 47.....My workouts are much more precise and planned. Diet plays a much bigger role now than before too! My goal is to be as lean at 50 as I was at 30! I don't push myself over the edge in the gym the way I used to. I just need to stay consistant.

    All that discipline from the past was just practice. When ya hit my age this is when it really counts boys & Girls!

    I will say this though......Older muscles seem to look better! Just a small perk of us older dudes!!
