Why do brahs on celltech almost always look way older than they actually are?

Is it because their internals are slowly rotting away and the effects start to manifest on the exterior, or because of excess collagen build-up etc?

What is it srs

yeah, that too.

IMO looking 3-5 years older is a VERY HIGH price to pay just to look muscular, but hey to each their own

male hormones make you age more and adding a crazy amount will make you look 20 years older just like that bald lobster on the front page.

It seems like their skin thickens up a lot. Look at Rich Piana’s facial skin, it looks thicker than average. I’ve noticed the thickened facial skin on other heavy cell tech users.

This.

I knew a guy who had done very well in bodybuilding comps (multiple national and international titles) but by the time he was 40, he looked about 60 despite still having all his hair and no gray. His skin just had this real leathery look. Great physique though.

It very much depends on the flavour of cell tech

Some blends actually have a positive effect on collagen synthesis, other harsher ones will age you like **** - especially if you take a lot of scoops

Regardless the effects are hilariously overblown in 90% of cases

It’s because the amount of muscle they have isn’t realistic to their age. As a lifter ages into his prime, he will be probably the biggest he will ever be so we associate that with a higher age.

It’s genetics

Steve Cook is 35 and he’s been modeling for 10 years




Just like some people are predisposed to balding some are predisposed to aging

It was to do with growth hormone, yea it’s grows your muscles but also every organ in the body. As we get older our faces starts to sag but with growth this happens sooner because of the added tissue I remember rich piana he started to have to wear bigger size shoes and hats because of it scary stuff

environment and lifestyle choices influence aging as much if not more than genetics

is that why their faces tend to look like they are about to pop?

Lol @ the replies in here

Higher test levels 24/7 will actually age your skin and break down collagen

Even on trt levels it will still age your skin more than a natty cause your test is constantly elevated 24/7 unlike a natty who peaks up and down

There’s been studies on this

Got to see what’s more important to you, I think swarms would be best if you want to keep skin looking young cause they’re more tissue selective

This makes sense. Could be broscience, but I would think that taking something what shrivels your balls and makes hair fall out is not a good idea for looking young.

People usually think than Im younger actually am, but thats more because I stay out the sun at all times, and most guys my age look like dogchit

Are you including trt in this gross generalization

Some forms of trt increase collagen btw

I look my age, but I looked much younger than my age prior to hopping on

ALSO depends on what you're taking. Straight T is not as "aging" as some of the other compounds.

Difference only became clear when I added something else to the blast. Am no longer using said compound though.

Yeah, genetics plays a huge part as well.
Id say that Steve Cook naturally and genetically looks way younger than he actually is, he seems to have great aging genetics, but the fact that he has been using for probably more than a decade now, he looks his age, aka mid 30's. Id bet my two nuts that if he had never taken anything, hed look 25 or something.

So i think juicing is a good trade-off when you naturally look younger than you already are. However if you are on the other side, as in you look older than what you actually are, and you add steroids on top of that... yeah good night sweet youth.

Yeah, this basically confirms what i wrote above. Youd look much younger than your actual age if you were natty. Steroids just evens it out
