Current Events > Just turned 35 anyone else scared of aging.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So a man's prime of strength and agility is between 20 and 45... Kind of disapointing when we humans live arround 80 years...we are at our peak for only 1/4th of our livea...If you check all sports related to speed and strenght. The youngest champions are around 20 and the oldest are 45. With agility sports champions peaking in the mid to late 20s, strenght related champions peaking at the late 30s early 40s and fighters peaking on their late 30s to mid 30s...

So I realized I only have 10 years of my prime...this is hard to accept for someone who played amateur soccer and now focus on powerlifting and bodybuilding...It's terrifying

Im 53, i still feel in my prime

Just stay in shape after 40???

wish i could age faster so i could get closer to death

35 is the new 21 these days. You're a Millennial act like it.

I work in a surgeon's office and deal with a lot of old people

I've had athletes come in who I SWORE were 50. They're 75. Zero health problems. This has happened a bunch of times.

I think that this is more common than we know, we just assume these people are 50 when we see them walking around. I'm not afraid to get old if I take nutrition and training seriously.

So reach your max now and make sure that you can always keep up with that even after 40

You can now run for President of the United States (if you are a citizen, bien sr).

the alternative to aging is death. i'd much rather age.

You can fight the clock. It does eventually win, but you can push it back. I'm 38. Other than rheumatoid arthritis, I am in excellent health. My blood pressure, heart rate, cholesterol, and everything else tested so far, have all come back comparable to someone half my age.

you can reverse aging by injecting yourself with the blood of virile young men

I made a joke about getting lazier the closer I get to 30 and this room full of old folks did not like it

I'll be turning 30 in a couple days. :[

I'll be turning 35 in a few short days. =/

I'm 32 and I already hate it. I'd hate it a lot more if I was balding and fat though, for example. As it stands I'm in pretty good shape, full head of hair, and haven't had to ever deal with any sort of sickness or pain.

It's a pretty negative viewpoint, but I could never see the sense in getting old and would honestly be fine with dying in my thirties. I don't see the point in becoming a weaker, sicker version of myself over time. I mean, it has to be super noticeable once you start to decline, right? And even if you take incredibly good care of yourself, you can always get hit with a cancer diagnosis or some other horrifying ailment. Maybe pain becomes a regular part of your life, your eyes don't work as well, you become slow in mind and body.. etc.

I mean, you can always hope for the best but at the end of the day, aging ain't pretty. And like you said, the actual prime of your life is so small it's pathetic. Who could not feel down when you realize you're close to approaching the end of it, or worse, you've already passed it?
