I was 26 when my mom passed so it wasn't too long after that before I fully understood how time waits for no one. Mentally, it changed me a lot. I can look around in the moment and really soak things in knowing well that tomorrow is not promised. Physically? Probably right now at 35. My knee is giving me serious issues, in the past it was just a "take some ibuprofen and it will quickly go away". Now its "Ibuprofen can alleviate things but this pain ain't going away ". It's time boyo's, I need to see a doctor.

Thanks for sharing bro, constructive to the OP at hand. I think mentally I started feeling it around 26 as well. I haven’t experienced the “wall” of hardship yet though which is a middle aged person running into lots of family deaths.
I still have grandparents, parents etc. it’s gonna hit all at once though I can feel it, idk how I can handle it
Trust me when I say, the FEDs are watching.

I don’t feel it.

I’m probably completely delusional but I don’t believe I look any older either at 36 than I did at 26. If anything I think I’ll look better in my late 30s and into my 40s since I’ve recently gotten a hair transplant and am more consistent with skin care, diet, sleep etc.

Well your parents would be happy to die before you, like your grandparents to them and so forth. I would easily take a bullet for my son, I would pray that I would die before him. Death sucks but we all go through it. I have no grandparents left and my only immediate family left is my Dad, Brother and Sister. All of whom live on the other side of the country. We talk regularly, but it would be nice to have them around more.

34 I think but I have this faith in my body that if I get my shit together that I can feel a lot better. I already feel better just doing what I can to make my body fit for aging

Edit- I’m almost 41 now so I feel like I’m at that point where I lock in and look awesome in a couple years or I LDAR - quite the crossroads

Physically I feel better than ever at 34. Once in a while my lower back gives me issues, but once it goes away I'm back to 100%.

Mid 20s played tackle football, I could barely get out of bed the next couple of days. Playing pickup basketball in my late 20s and early 30s I end getting a sore back. I herniated a disc the other day just by going down some steps lol

When I was a younger I would be outside playing every type of sport and never get an inkling soreness.
Everything I do is biblical

In my 40s it got harder to stay aesthetic.

I am 51 now and take exercise for longevity seriously, besides bjj which reks my body.

I max out a few times per year then base my workouts on 70% of that max. Also do a lot of kettlebells and stretching.

My physical peak was probably in my 30s and early 40s, I was too drunk and stoned in my 20s to know or care.

Balding is death. If you have no hair, you have no life.

Don't stalk someone because you're a victim of your own moronic outlook in life

Imagine going ape shit because someone looked at your social media, amazing
