Curious, especially from the middle age and beyond guys, when did you think you peaked in different fitness modalities in life. Something someone mentioned on another forum made me think about this, and I’ve thought about it before.
For example, most resilient in teens and 20s to any physical abuse, such as overdoing exercise, able to get away with sub par diet or sleep?
Strongest in 30s and 40s?
Most athletic in 20s?
Able to more easily maintain muscle mass in your 40s?
Grown man blue collar corn bread strength peaked in 50s?
Super Human and always getting better at everything and you’re 70? Haha.
For me, too soon to tell at 28. I feel I’m not peaked at all though, athletically, strength obviously, but I already don’t fell I can get away with what I could in my teens. I need 7-8 quality hours of sleep or I’m a grump, and keep doing it and my progress stalls. Mentally it screws me up too. Can’t recall words or facts without a loss of words for a few seconds instead of rapid fire out stuff.
My dad has brought this up before, who is right on 60 and still able to do anything he ever could, just gets tired a little quicker. He claims his all around physical Preakness was around 40, peak strength, muscle, but he wasn’t as resilient as 20s of
Course.
Just curious on everyone’s individual experience.
