samue1son said:At 42... Okay. So, I don't quite have it, but I feel it creeping in. Grip strength and deadlifts feel so much easier when older and barely training them. I did some easy 120kg front squats without training. 100kg military press. I know these aren't "impressive" nunbers on here but I don't train for them and just had a lift the other day after a warm up. I wondered if this was the beginning of the mythical dad strength I often hear of. Maybe I should take up arm wrestling. Hard to say but you can definitely keep a lot of strength and if you started late (like me) still progress well in middle age as your training age is still quite young. In terms of where the absolute potential peak would be, I'd say it has to be mid 30s but that's in terms of starting very young, training being perfect and focused on strength from the start. | |||
