We hear about all the young people making a big deal of their successes in their early years. Twenty-something tech gurus or entrepreneurs that make their fortune early.

Who here is past 45-50 and maybe made a switch or restarted and found success and a modicum of happiness in their new position?

    38 is still really a decent spot for that. Men and women both have unrealistic expectations set when it comes to body image thanks to fashion and entertainment industries. Get yourself a good routine and you can still look great. None of us are going to have a Chris Evans’ Captain America body without steroids and personal training.

      Oh dont get me wrong, Ive made a lot of progress but I still have to work twice as hard for half as much gain compared to the young guys we train with.

      I also have some pretty strong views on PEDs, if I can smoke cigarettes and put strain on our health system, or eat myself into morbid obesity and put strain on our health system, I should be allowed to go to a doctor and have a professionally managed course of steroids if I want.
