Best physical shape..... I'm in it now but I'm not agile and can't scratch my own back hah

That's because you're not doing it right. What you need to get is two really hot 18 year old asian broads to scratch it for you.

Haz is in great shape with the ladies. It's his ladies that are out of shape.

This past summer. Ive been as lean in my early 20's but not the same muscle mass.

However foot ball season has been a little too good to me and I need to get back on the wagon. Probably put on like 15 lbs since august

**calgarian** · 12-03-2013, 09:02 AM

since last 3 years. weight is alway around 220 to 200 I havent checked today but I bet it will be down again. I am 39 yrs old. Was thinking I should go into my 40th Bday going in at 270 lbs.

**DAAS** · 12-03-2013, 09:59 AM

19-21 was even partying then too. oh the joys of being young. I attribute most of it to not having as much stress. Stress is a killer of gains and life in general

**Times Roman** · 12-03-2013, 10:39 AM

the best shape of my life?

well, i guess that would depend on what i was doing at the time.

when i was a distance runner, i was a very lean 160 lbs, and about 20 years old. I pretty much could run a marathon any time and with little preparation. One summer in particular, i spent a few months running from the barracks to a rock quarry in Karlsrue (5 miles) while everyone else was on 10 speeds. no, they didn't have to wait for me. I kept up. then once at the rock quarry, would swim across the lake (about a mile round trip - back and forth). then later, another 5 miles back to the barracks. this was pretty much every day, and to me, seemed easy to do.

when i was about 27, i had a unique mix of strength and endurance, pulling green lumber (on the long side) at the saw mill for 8 hours a day for a few years. Many tried, most failed, trying to keep up with me without stopping the chain.

when it came to pure strength, I was about 40, and then again about a year ago. but by then, the endurance was gone. running a mile was not something to trifle with for me.

as you age, strength is usually the last thing to go.

When I was 19-20 I was obsessed with always looking like I was ready to get on stage for a figure competition (but I never did one). Needless to say I ended up gaining a lot of weight from binging after keeping that up for so long! I do miss the abs, but not the torture I put myself through haha.

And I was just on an EC stack.
