re: at what age did you have to cut back on your workouts

I am seeing a doctor about it. Checked a few things. Testosterone was on the lower side, but the doctor said he thinks it's ok. Next step is to test for sleep apnea. Some days I really just lack energy all day, like I'm not getting good rest. I actually look like Im in better shape than what I feel, which I assume is the opposite for most men. I'm 37.

When I turned 50 my body started to betray me. Ruptured tricep tendon, L5 S1 pain, etc. I've had to clean up some things and be much more deliberate in how I workout.

+1 I'm dealing with back and shoulder issues right now. Very frustrating.
I noticed my strength start to decrease right around my 35th bday (now almost 37) and have been battling shoulder and back issues off and on since then also.

Started working out (Crossfit and weightlifting) at 36. No prior history of working out. Body was feeling great. Now I'm recovering from hernia repair surgery. I'll be back though.

To me it's just putting more time into recovery. Eating better, sleeping at a higher quality, foam rolling and active recovery.
I have had to space out my leg days (squats/deads) out a bit more than i used to, trying to give me 3 days after squat day before deads.

Your joints are fine, you just have to adjust your routine.

44, started working out routinely over a year ago and am in the best shape of my life. I'm not saying I don't have aches and pains from time to time but the back pain that I used to have almost daily is gone and I feel Better than ever.

I’m 44 and have been lifting for 3 years now. I’m in the best shape of my life. The back pain that used to plague me is gone. I work a 3 day a week greyskull LP. I’ve never been satisfied with my flexibility with regards to my dead lift so I’m working in some yoga this month.
I went to my first hot yoga class with wife tonight and I’m in a dazed high right now. I see what my next challenge is to be. My heart was pounding out of my chest for the better part of 90 minutes. Check it out if you want to get dominated.

I started working out at 34, I'm 38 now and I'm in much better shape, and working out a lot better than I did when I started. My main issue is sleep. It can be difficult for me to get enough sleep to workout with a 6 year old and a 3 year old. I have to skip some mornings.

If we are just talking about lifting routines, then more than slowing down I lift SMARTER and actually follow a program now. So while my volume, and workout lengths have decreased, overall I still keep up fine. Again its way less volume, but being smarter and recognizing how much rest and recovery matters.
As for other areas such as endurance, stamina, speed, agility, definitely early to mid 30s is where the slow down starts to happen. In my 20s I could play basketball/flag football/volleyball events, tournaments, etc. all day and feel fine the next day. Now in my 40s I need 2 full recovery days if I do any of that.
This was also the point where I couldn't even pull of scaled-down versions HS and college track workouts.

Around 35, 36, 37. Began to notice my gains were slower, joints hurt from running, occasional herniated disk to address.

started at 16 and never stopped. Never stopped. not just going here and there. Most injuries came from sports. 40 now and while I have lost a little strength (20-30lbs) my workouts would probably wound most.

I'm 59 and about three years ago my shoulders started giving me big issues. Now my elbows are acting up. The pain from both has made me cut way down on weight and frequency. So I would say 56. Getting old sucks.

I'm only 25, but damn, you guys are making it easy to not look forward to being middle aged.

I'm 38 and I put up 310 on the bench yesterday three times.
I also ran 3 miles in under 22 minutes last night.
If anything I'm getting stronger and in better shape as I age.
ETA: I'm 5'11" 175 pounds.

That's pretty young. I didn't really notice much until mid to late 40s. At 51, I just have no motor. I get more out of breath than anyone else in the room even after more than one year of this crap. It's depressing at times, but I know I am doing myself good even though I can't keep up with basically anyone.

I’m 34 and have not changed a thing regarding my routine, but my fatigue and soreness are off the charts recently. I was actually coming to the board to see if there was a thread dealing with this already and if anybody had solutions. It sounds like it may just be age and two toddlers catching up to me.

I am right there with you man, turn 34 next month and this past year has been the worst with nagging injuries (calf strains, plantar fasciitis and tendinitis) I have found stretching and doing dynamic warm ups seem to help but going to have to decrease my training volume if this injuries keep occurring.
Posted on 9/24/18 at 9:41 am to domesticengineer
After doing some more research, it seems that if you have a strenuous routine you should take a de-training WEEK every eight weeks. Sounds like it’s just basically a week where you take your intensity down, not just one or two rest days.
