Your body after 40

    Have fun and put on strength and mass when you're young, but once you're 40yrs+ if your mass has come with a mound of fat, it's time to get leaner and fitter. This is difficult for chunky strong men to do, not because their physical predisposition is genetic, but that the "I'm a big strong man" psychology is threatened.

        Being an older man with high blood pressure, a big belly and creaking joints - unable to run a quarter of a mile without dying, isn't negated by your ability to "crush a pencil neck" with your bare hands. Get over that.

        The big strong man with 25% bodyfat gets broken by time. Time is stronger than you. Compared to time you are a flea. So clean up your diet, stop overeating, lose fat, get fit, and feel 100Xs better.
