Around 30, but that was really just a culmination of several overuse injuries and letting myself slack off for a couple of years straight.

I play tennis at a high level quite regularly and still have similar results compared to my mid 20's, don't feel any slower or less agile.

Just turned 35 and I'm better than ever. Stronger every week, and any injuries I have were self inflicted, not age related.

42, Not really sure, but it's not a dramatic difference you notice overnight. I'm sure i heal a bit slower and do get more aches but I still feel pretty good.

Currently 36yo and wasn't until this year did I start to feel my age... however... I got T-boned by a F350 in an intersection back in February that left me with 7 herniated disc's. Was told by a couple of different Dr's they were surprised I was even able to stand up straight with my injuries. That accident kept me out of the gym for a few months and on top of that I sit at a desk all day long. So I became very stiff with the quickness.... I felt like complete $hit during those months but thankfully have been working my way back to the top. Still haven't been able to get rid of the stiffness completely....Guess its time to re think my training and keep moving forward.

36 now started feeling myself going at 34, always aching and injuries take longer, no way near as fit as a few years ago.

I think there's a reason why a lot of professional sports people quit in their early 30's.

At what age did you start to feel like your physical peak was behind you? As in you weren't recovering as fast, more aches and pains, you couldn't train for as long each workout, strength gains came much harder etc etc

srs question. pls respect srs tag
I've been weight training since I was 27, 65 now..nearly 62 in avi.

I finally got serious about training in 2009 and competed for the first time in Masters Bodybuilding in 2011.

I noticed that I wouldn't recover as quickly as I did when I was in my 30s when I got into my 50s. Now minor injuries take a few weeks to get back to normal whereas in my 30s it would take a few days to a week. Time to time I get this groin irritation, nothing serious. I first noticed it after deadlifting it takes 3-4 weeks to be gone.
I'm still pretty strong on most lifts...I stopped flat benching a few years ago since it was not doing anything for my chest. I'm strongest on back exercises..working my way back to 405+ on rack pulls.,,next week it will happen!

I can say I do not feel 65.

A few years ago, so ~30. Though I'd say only very recently has it really started to settle in.

Mid 30's. I'm not as strong as I once was. Not by alot but I definately lost a little bit. I'm not pushing myself as hard and cut about 20 lbs though.

28 and have already started feeling it but its 100% my lifestyle choices.


Drinking hard every weekend, with other substances that boost heart rate etc.


I get gassed on stairs sometimes and legit prob need to see a doctor. I also eat like dog chit.
There is no thing without nothing.

Age 30 and still have not felt serious decline.

I would say the only difference is sexual. Instead of being able to have 4 super powerful orgasms in one day, I can have the same amount but the latter ones aren't as powerful. This also has given me the ability to last much longer in sex. I also run often so I think the cardio really helps.

Also have some grey hairs now but I got my first grey at 16 so I was early regardless.

No difference yet but I know I'm at the age where people start to go downhill..

29. Feel less hyper that I used to feel, but my physical capacity doesn't seem to have dropped at all. I'm certain I could beat 18 year old me in a foot race.



I will say that minor injuries stick around longer now. Eventually I will hurt too much to lift the way I do, and will have to take up some gay hobby like cycling or pilates.

I used to pull girls back in my early 20s because of my pro text game when I was a skinny mofo. Now I'm almost 30 with muscles and it's easier than ever especially in person. I've noticed my muscles take longer to heal but that's fine. Just changed my routine a bit and added yoga. Feel pretty good

At 22-24 likely you have peaked. From there, it is a steady genetic disintegration until you wither away to skin and bones.

Thats not to say you cant be in better shape in your 30s than your 20s. If you put in the work you surely can increase muscle mass, decrease fat, etc. But it is much harder to see these changes than when in the early 20s, and the adaptations will have a lesser magnitude.

Noticed a knee injury took longer to heal at 30. I hate u fgts gonna be 31 soon. Strength wise still peaking. Like some said the recovery takes longer on injuries. So far only the knee ligament but now pain free.

It's hard to say. I'm stronger now than I was in my early 20s, but I started becoming more prone to injury in my early-to-mid thirties. It's not the end of the world though -- it's just niggling tendinitis, etc.
