First and foremost I hope I'm posting this correctly, I've never belonged to a forum. Assuming I have, I'm a 41yr. Old male from NY. My main objective here is to communicate with veterans who are within my age range and build. Not just build muscle but knowledge as well. I'm not 20 anymore, so as we all know our bodies change and gaining mass as well as strength can be frustrating. I know a huge factor is simply having enough energy after working, commuting and being a parent. However, i know or at least feel as if I still have it in me to keep up with the young bucks in the gym. Don't get me wrong, they motivate me and it keeps me pushing that last rep but I don't feel the same. Maybe what's really mess'n with my head is when a younger dude looked at his boy and said " he used to be huge". Pointing at me non the less, I smiled but I was PISSED!
