I’m half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I’m over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

    Asking the real question. I’m in my 40’s now and doing fine. Sure I’m not literally invincible anymore like I was as a teenager but everything works as it should.

      I’m 39, and the picture of health. I rarely injure myself, and when i do, it doesn’t take long to heal. Holy shit, how bad are these people treating themselves if they’re so decrepit so young? SMH my head.

        I’m half joking when I say decrepit but I’m definitely not able to workout 6 days a week, play 3 mid intensity basketball games back to back, or bike for 4 hours anymore. No major injuries but I feel the wear and tear a lot more than I used to. Biologically, people typically do go through a noticeable decline in performance after 30.

          I known many people 30s-40s who can do routines of that intensity, including myself. Anywhere near 30 is far more about conditioning than it is age.
