re: One of the most humbling experiences as a man is realizing you aren’t the same anymore.

I was probably my strongest at 40 natural and that is comparing myself to 20 something year old me on gear but extremely naive. I caveat that by saying there is definitely something to continuous strength training with no extended gaps of non training. In fact I’m not terribly far off some of my lifts from 40 at 52. The problem with age is recovery and obviously injury prevention.
