I keep tring to tell the women at my gym that comment on how I look asking for advise. Put down those damn pink dumbells and lift some weight! You won't get big and musculine from lifting heavy weights!

That is very cool! And cooler still to hear you figured out the truth behind the BS that is fed to women about doing cardio instead of weights I wish you luck in convincing other women to see the real benefit of heavy work rather than wasting their time with "aerobics". Perhaps your great condition will be an effective tool with this!

AGE, n. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those that we have no longer the enterprise to commit.

Working out definitely benefits everyone in more ways than one. I'm 33 yrs old and people always think I am in my mid twenties.

If you look at the top guys in the sport most of them would be considered "older".

Another thing I have noticed being older, is that my gains are more solid. I don't know if it's due to having better muscle control or what, but I definitely feel individual muscles working better and my gains seem to not only come faster but are more quality than in the past.

I also find that I lift smarter. Some of the young people interpret that as going lighter and feeling the reps. I definitely don't train light but I think my technique has improved to where I can "feel it" better and still lift heavy.

I totally agree. I just turned 30 and I feel I get much more effective workouts now than I did 5 years ago. Of course, I really didnt start getting serious about things until 5 years ago, so it could just be experience paying off.

Its funny how when you get older, taking care of yourself really starts to show through. Ive seen people I went to highschool with that look like they're in their 40's, people are constantly surprised when they hear my age, thinking Im 24-25.

And when I get to the point that the age starts to show, bring on the HRT baby! Woohoo!

I have noticed I need to be on top of the nutrition a bit more since 30. Definitely more in tune with the body and the mechanics of resistance training. for the most part, I know what works and what doesn't.

Just depends on the type of tip you leave her with.

Man I cant wait to turn 35, as a powerlifter Ill be concidered a submaster (35-39). This is were the American Records I hope to break are held! Once I do that then its off to the 40's for the masters records. Its seems that I only get stronger with age. I am stronger and more dedicated at 32 than I ever was at 22!!!!
