Well past 40 now and very little has changed. Still 6 pack, extremely cut, smoke like a train but able to outrun majority of young people.

Only thing is the hairline is trash. I look like a 6'5 2pac lol.
How’s the arthritis? :flabbynsick:

I turn 40 in 6 months.....but my metabolism is still sky high....and it got me thinking....I don't diet at all....sure I try to eat well and prefer chicken and fish but I still eat red meat, pork....whatever.

Was at Top Golf with this bougee modern bytch that works out everyday and I could notice she was heavier than she was when I first met her a few years back.:francis:

I'm in the literal same boat...I'll eat like trash for awhile and realize I'm actually lighter than I thought I was. I was 202 lbs the other day(I walk at 205 usually)

You can’t.:mjlol:
But no seriously, go to sleep early, wake up early, eat small nutrient dense meals every 2 hours.

While they eating pizza and wings and beer.:dry:
My family are giants with Mike Phelps metabolism. Everybody is 5’11 and over. I’m only 5’7.
Same here. Even the women in my family are giants. These cousins little kids be coming up to me acting like I'm their age:francis:talking to me like we aint 15 years apart.

At least its easier to put on muscle at hour height.

Depends on what era of mankind youre speaking of

Now while food is abundant and appearance is more important- yes

During the time of hunting, holding onto your food was more important cause who knows when youre gonna eat again
Also depends on where you live in the world right now tbh.

No.
It means you're lucky you live in a time period or a place where food is abundant and you dont have to exert yourself daily or compete for survival

Storing energy/ fat is litterally essential to life forms on this planet.
Being skinny isn't.

My metabolism is super high. I hated being called skinny, you need to eat a sandwich, etc my whole life. Im older and been lifting for about 7 years now, i have my ideal physique. BUT if i take a break off lifting (which has happened in the past) it will all burn off.
same thing with me
