getting old sucks

[ezmac31]

Yeah I knew I was old when the thing I craved most throughout the day became bed time

[blissful88]

Yeah

29

Getting whites in my beard / hair

Under eyes look like 200 years old

Sleep by 7 pm


Penis gets as hard as a rotten banana

Don’t know what these kids talk about anymore

Don’t know how to use new phones / computers : TVs

Have to use my hearing aides now

Glasses as thick as my cawk

Fuk everything

Dem feels brah. Our best physical years are behind us

idk about you boyos, but I've been gettin really fukin nostalgic for my high school years lately.

Didn't wanna turn into that guy but I am. Doesn't help that they were objectively better than this chit show we live in now.

I've spent quite some time wondering since 2020(hence joining the misc) why I was now looking back so much on the past

Then I woke up one morning & while laying in bed I realized it was because of how horrible society had become seemingly out of nowhere

[DolphinPilot]

I guess I'm getting old because my joints keep popping (no pain... yet) and I really feel sleep is just too damn important over anything else. Can't function unless I get a full night's rest, as in ~8 hours.

[hoop84]

Lmao at the timing of this thread, feeling beat up after 5 workouts and shoveling snow and ice this week


35 next week crew

Would love to be 34

Vision starts at 45 or so

But it really hits hard at 55

I am told people who have glasses all their life to see far away don't get hit with the close up vision problem. My father in law is 85, wears glasses but takes them off to read the paper. I'm like, wtf is that all about?

[redmelly]

I'm creeping up on 50 years old and am doing better than a lot of people my age, especially all my alcoholic childhood friends I grew up with. I still have osteo arthritis in my spine and neck and found out I have polyps in my intestines and need a colonoscopy. I need lasik and need to get my teeth fixed, too.

Testicular atrophy is the most embarrassing. They shrunk and the TRT I take isn't helping any.

Is it for up close vision? Lasik doesn't fix that. Also, get invisalign right now if you need to fix crooked teeth. It takes about a year to straighten them and you'll be glad you started when you did.

I'm nearsighted and have one tooth near the back missing and another that needs to be replaced. I also might get veneers since my front teeth have chips in them.

[GaryRidgway]

two day hangovers are the beginning of the end

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Lol yes, yes it does.

My favorite is waking with a kink in your back because you rolled over wrong in your sleep.

This has become an every-other-day experience for me recently. Tour is over.

[Kawhilights]

The only redeeming part of being an oldcel is if you only work out once a week you look better than 99.99% of people the same age.

[Techriding101]

if you are over or creeping on up 35, trt and hgh give HUGE quality of life improvements. Sure you may be knocking a few years off of the end of your life, but a losing a few years after 70, who cares.

[Sprykee907]

old aint nothin but a mindstate

It probably wont even shorten your life either if feeling great keeps you active. The couch is the worst killer of men.

I went on TRT at 46 and its been friggin great. Way more active now.

[Uncle-Phil]

I learned this lesson the other day. Was digging a hole the other day in my backyard. My lower back was destroyed for 4 days.

You're going to set the clock back 15 years.

[redmelly]

My closeup vision took a chit three months before I turned 40! At arms length I can’t see my phone texts clearly without my reading glasses lol. I can see far away just fine tho.




RIP sweet joints.

———-

I also notice now that I’ve gotten older, if I bump myself on furniture I get bruised easily. I’ll see them and wonder how the heck I got them.

My uncle wears contacts for that. You sacrifice some far away vision quality but you don't have to wear those glasses. I'd check it out.

[Airror]

Feel good, but I'm only 30 and I never abused alcohol and drugs in my 20s. Been lifting for 12 years. Started running a year and a half ago. If you don't use it, you lose it.

[SillieBazzillie]

Anyone under 40 needs to STFU.

I've got more money now than ever and I get to quit working in like 8 years. Oh, and I get to bang the same chick in lifetime perpetuity that I've banged since I was 16.

What's not to like?

[FrankCostanza]

the worst for me is the pain. im ready to go most days tbh, im done with this.

[T150]

Late 30's and feel better than when I was 18.

Libido stronger than ever.

Recovery time faster than ever.

Can thrive on just 4 hours sleep.


The catch: Only if the diet is on point.

[Darkius]

life hit me hard in my early twenties,

drug abuse, child hood trauma


now im paying the consequences.

Is the drug damage reversible?

[nm1891]

Test and growth baby. Test and growth. TB12 and LeBron James approved. Fountain of youth.

[Darkius]

Dead by 45 crew. Already destroyed my body crew. Fuk it all crew

My body is kind of messed up. 10 different cartilage injuries that won't heal, acid reflux that wakes me in the middle of my sleep, hair tansplants that were done wrong, absent minded pretty bad from chemicals, and my eyes now have astigmatism. And lots of farrting. And bad hunch back. And atrial fibrillation that makes me almost faint. And brain anyerisms that threaten to burt each time I get upset and raise my blood pressure. Arthritis in my hands.

I wish I could go back in time and not make some mistakes. I might live a long time, but not comfortably.


The skin on my hands flows like water under the blow dryer.

Nah, I have both now. Got progressive glasses this week because the single vision I had made it too difficult to read up close. I’ve had a headache from them all week. Sucks.

[Casca]

I'm 52 and feel younger than I did in my early 40's. @40 was when I tried to get back in shape yet again, but this time I actually succeeded. Because this time I accepted it will take time and to be careful not to rush it which is why all the other times I tried, I just quit. I always did pull-ups and dips (before I got fat), but not like how I do them now. I stopped lifting weights and only do calisthenics now. I had shoulder pain, lower back pain, golfers elbow pain on both elbows.

I work on calisthenics stuff like planche, front lever, human flag (just started), handstand, back lever and L-sit. Planche looks like it'd be real bad for your shoulders and it can be if you do it wrong. I had my shoulder pain before planche and I did make the pain worse on a couple of my planche leans because I had to think about protracting and depressing the scapula a lot and a couple times I lost protraction/depression while in a deep lean and BAM! Shoulder pain got worse. Thing is, even back then I noticed on my planche training days so long as I didn't screw up, my shoulders and elbows felt better. Now I do planche leans and my scaps feel real strong for it and going full protraction/depression feels normal, don't gotta think about it.

This is what gets stressed a lot for planche; your muscles can get stronger way faster than your tendons. Which leads to people having tendon pain or worse. Gym bro lifting is about muscle size and it does work the tendons, but nowhere near what the stuff I do works tendons. I know the professional and probably even some amateur power-lifters also include tendon strengthening.

Also, a lot of the stuff I do really works the core. I have no elbow, shoulder or lower back pain and it's been that way for over a year now.

[SimplyFlacid]

Lol yes, yes it does.

Age: 41

I may look better, but I doubt I feel better.

I definitely can't drink. It has been about a year sober now.

[PrimarisIn]

I can pin point it to one night at an edm concert, and the morning after i ran some miles. It contributed to a psychotic break

[JustiNtense]

What happened to us brahs? We all got old. I remember i was 21 in my prime days posting here. I'm 32 now. I am pretty much dead.
