WE ARE THE ELDERS OF Jow Forums
I was here when Zyzz was assassinated by Tim Sharky
Zyzz would have been 50 today
Tfw you have a six month break from lifting after buying a house and blow your fucking knee clean out after twenty minutes in the gym.
Tfw 31
>tfw sleeping starts to hurt
Gotta suck it up. I have shit to do today, like mow the lawn, and help the wife get some bulbs in the ground. After church, and lunch with other church couples, that is.
FEEL MY DUBS Jow Forums
Reeeeee
Roll
33 oldfag here,
5 years since lower back went bad, deadlifts are still a no go zone
Knees - good
Shoulder cuff - no issues
Skin is starting to show it's years
Becoming comfortable in who I am nowadays
Kids on my damn lawn
>boomers
Elder of Jow Forums is not a title I am proud of in the slightest. I would go as far as to say I’m ashamed by it.
39 here. Made the switch to calisthenics with a door pull up bar and a $20 femor ring set. Look good, feel good, having fun. Still hit barbell for lower body. Cardio is now 80% long distance slow running, just enjoying the beauty of it all while burning fat.
I actually am beginning to look better than I did when I was in my 20s (got athletic late). Turning cougar heads is easy. You dont stop training, just learn how to train your new old guy body and you're on your way.
30, I'm youthful as fuck still, except I have strain lines around my mouth from doing gym strain face for 17 years now
39 has to be a gross fucking age, fearing that upcoming 40
It's not so bad, men age like fine wine. These days theres a LOT of desperate cougars out there who fell for the sex in the city meme and the only way they know how to communicate is with sex. The only issue is every year I further enjoy myself is one year closer to gilf mode for the cougs.
Eh, on the flip side, old bros are best of bros. I'm happy.
>tfw 29
can I join lads? I don't wanna talk to zoomies
33 yo here
Life is a game I don't want to play and I'm tired of losing.

too old for this shit.
28 addicted to tren.
About to turn 33.
None of my life was worth it.
Considering giving up on workouts.
32
Im completely out of shape, I haven't lifted consistently in a few months.
I know what to do I just lack discipline and motivation to get back into shape
Sure thing kid.

Absolutely btfo of most people looks wise
>also balding
Descoved onions as in oinion bro onions.
Get on em lads.
39
I dont mind not being able to drink like I used to. I really slimmed down after I just cut out the alcohol. Feel better too.
50.
I quit lifting heavy this year, and running. I decided I'd finally had enough chronic shit.
So now I am in the old folks section of my gym: the pool. And elliptical if it's raining out, skating otherwise.
I never did get big, only strong, so I am only down about 5 lbs. That still bothers me a bit and am determined hold the line here.
Any boomers thoughts on creatine for older guys? Benefits or nah?
Lifting... is wasted on the youth.
bump
40 isn't bad at all if you take care of yourself. You should also be making decent money by then or just off yourself.
awesome to have you here

Life's quite based when you get older, shame zoomers are fucking ruining the world
Ugh I'm turning 36 this year, I just started making better money again without so hard, need to tear back into the weights. Life goes on far longer, I find myself looking up to guys in their 50s in great shape these days.
How the fuck am I 30 fucking years old?
I haven't fucking done anything. And it's all speeding up. It's going by faster and fucking faster.
I'm 41. I'm thinking about drinking tomorrow. Can't drink moderately because gotta get drunk. But the two day hangover scares me. Also, I had a good workout today so alcohol will fuck my progress.
30 here. My only friends are my fiance, my house, my boss, and my mountain bike.
what the fuck do you want, OP?
Time flies like a arow brother
This so fucking much. It didn't bother me until divorce this spring and now I just reflect on my life and feel like the past 10 years happened two years ago tops. I still remember how we started dating with my wife, first sex, marriage, how we moved in together.
Can't fucking go to sleep for hours straight, despite being tired as fuck by the end of the day. And god forbid I wake up before my alarm goes off, the sleep is fucking ruined because the very instant my consciousness regains control, my mind goes OH HEY THIS IS REAL LIFE THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU HOW DO YOU LIKE IT HUH

Have nothing to show for three decades in earth though
No pussy no money half a head of hair
There are teenagers ahead of me in life
All my obstacles have been in my head. I just made them up. What the FUCK
33 here needing to vent:
It is absolutely disgusting to see how far my peers have fallen. I desperately try to encourage some of them to get into shape and the negativity I have to get through is infectious and it depresses me.
I have one buddy who brags about what great shape he was in during our early twenties (1. Not that difficult an accomplishment, 2. He wasn’t as great a shape as he remembers, just not fat) who says he’s gonna get fit but always puts it on the back burner due to whatever bullshit excuse he has, he refuses to sign up with me for whatever bullshit challenge I propose (half marathon, cycling holiday, tough mudder, just anything that is a hard date he can’t push back) because he “isn’t sure he’ll be ready”.
I’m not talking about something the next month or two, some of these events have been 250-300 days away.
I’m watching the people I grew up with and that I love implode.
Meh, they may look worse, but they are still my friends.
On the plus side when we go out, more puss for me.
>go out
>friends
Get the fuck out.
Days are shorter when you're 30 than when you're 20 and they keep on shrinking as you age. It's all relative. A day to a toddler is endless because they've only experienced about a 1000 of them. A day to a boomer is short as shit because we've experienced over 10000 of them and counting. It's going to keep getting worse.

>decent job, good salary and benefits, have my own apartment in the city, having fun but still saving bank
>nogf, try dating apps
>immediately close dating apps after a few swipes because modern women disgust me
>also a leaf, should probably an hero or gtfo soon
When did it all get so bad? If it's the zoomers, do we way blame them for who they are or do we blame whoever/whatever made them this way?
30 has been the best year of my life, all these things hit at the same time to cause a perfect storm.

17 year old zoomer here, can't wait to be an "elder of Jow Forums" one day
You missed the good'ol days. you can't have that back
>17 year old zoomer here
Run. RUN! Never come back to this fucking website. You still have a chance. Think of this episode in your life like Dante's tour of hell. Don't end up here. You've been given a rare opportunity to see where you could end up as a 30yo. Ascend, friend, leave this place and go get education, money, gains, waifu, and Anonlets.
>Girl I've been crushing on for years just broke up with her boyfriend, fucked her.
I will join the club soon. Will the wizard powers improve my lifts?
>Girl I've been crushing on for years
No.
I'm 29--wtf are you people talking about? I look better and I'm stronger than ever. Just got down to 10% bf this year for the first time and my muscle definition is at its peak. I also look younger than I am and people are surprised when I tell them my age. I was skinnier and boyish-looking in my early 20s. Are you people serious talking about aches and pains and physical decline in your early thirties?? So if I'm going to believe you people, I'm going to deteriorate literally over the next few years even though I'm at my peak right now. I don't buy it. I think you guys are just losers.
Based. If you live right you can greatly slow Father Time's approach
We acquired these aches and pains through the error part of trial and error. Namely:
> Ignoring injuries
> Thinking recovery time/days are a meme
> Not getting enough sleep
> Not stretching
> Not being patient ("I just achieved 95kg on X lift, I will now immediately go to 100kg because it's a nice round number and not that far off)
Essentially impatient zoomer mindset. If you can avoid this good for you, but most can't.
I'm only 26 but someone recently told me I look 30 and I've since asked a bunch of people if I look older and they all agreed. Can I join your boomer club?
Im 35 and in great shape these people are just losers lol
I too am 26 (but Asian), but I get my ID checked at the beer store. People tell me i use to look 3x when i was 320 lbs but i dropped to 200 recently.
>being here are the age of 20-21
You need to look yourself in the mirror (metaphorically) and think about what went wrong. I'm in my mid 20s and I'm sooo fucking old for this fucking place. Just leave and build a life for yourself.
Reporting in
>I'm sooo fucking old for this fucking place. Just leave and build a life for yourself.
Has anyone successfully left this God forsaken place?
31 now. 32 soon. In great shape, quit my job last month to move on to a much better job. Own two properties, one to rent one to live. Feel pretty great. I do sometimes notice that recovery is slower than it used to be.
The real reason people 30+ can't handle hangovers is because your alcohol tolerance is so fucking high from 10 years of binge drinking.
Just because your tolerance is higher doesn't mean your body metabolizes alcohol any better. It just means you don't feel certain effects as strongly from the same amount of alcohol.
Thinking back on my "lol i never get hangovers" days, the amount I needed to get shitfaced was barely enough to get me buzzed these days. Back when I could still get drunk on fucking beer.
Anyway, I'm 1 year sober last August. Turned 30 in May. Best decision of my life. Any of you guys wondering about quitting drinking, just do it. You'll feel younger, look younger, and it will dramatically improve your mental health.
The first couple weeks-first month is the hardest part.
Only in a bodybag.
You are here forever.
you get tired tho and spend less time.
>you get tired tho and spend less time.
I can max browse for like 2hrs and then do something else. It gets boring eventually, but I do comeback. I guess I get my social fix by talking with you faggots.
>promoting s o y
>on Jow Forums
Thanks rabbi
Don't be a pussy, faggot.
How would you have lifted if you could do it all over?
That's fine. Time will get you eventually, user. The harder you run from it, the more tired you'll be when it claims you
Not him but it's one of the last bastions of the old internet days where you can say almost anything you want without getting a mental health referral from your HR department because some zoomer complained to your employer.
I am 30 and stopped drinking last September. I've gotten fucked up a couple times since I stopped and I regretted it both times. I am happy to be not drinking now and I don't really like to be around drunks anymore
actually it's because your liver starts to deteriorate after the age of 25
That is flies in the face of common sense seeing as how there are regular drinkers who live til their 80's and then some who get cirrhosis at 35. Your liver hardiness is largely determined by genes. Plenty of people die from heart disease caused by drinking before their livers ever give out.

- Chinese gf of 3 yrs left me
- About to fail out of best opportunity in my life
- Unable to get laid in months
41 here.
Decent job, shit-tier zoomers with a dogshit work ethic working for me and the only thing that I like is playing CK2 or EU4 and lifting.
Fucked up my hip on Wednesday doing Squats. Dull ache even while walking. Going to leave it a week and if it's still this sore I'll have to see the Doctor I suppose. Fucked my knee up doing 22 in the UK Paras but squats actually healed it somehow. If I can't squat anymore I'm going to lose a big part of my life. Yes. I am really that sad and pathetic.
I'm not running from anything though. I just workout and take basic care of myself--it's not that hard. I'm not a beer-gutted slob who talks about aches and pains at 30, like a lot of people are. I'm just expressing surprise at the early thirties crowd on here talking like over-the-hill boomers (literal ones, not meme ones). At 29 I'm in my prime--it could very well be true that I'll deteriorate to shit within a year or two, but I sincerely doubt it.
I'll be 31 on Tuesday. Years of crouching in front of my computer on this fucking website has my shoulders stiffer than a basedboy in a gay bar. Blew my shoulder out benching a few months ago. Doctors found an old shoulder injury while getting it checked out. Turns out if I kept deadlifting I would've really hurt myself. Now I just press, squat, pull-ups, and some dumbbell shit.
You are Joe Rogan's age. Pump some TRT and eat elk meat and you will have a body of a 30 year old.
I'm 30 and well on the way to not making good money by 40
That means you're biologically 38
there sure is a lot of 30+ year old losers on this site
Need to build that mental resilience my fren, you never had to during your youth with your natural abilities. It happens, you'll be OK, stay away from Jew influences.
Do you expect to suddenly turn your life around and abandon the website you constantly frequent? You will most likely lower your frequency but I guarantee you will be coming here well into your 30s.
There's a lot of 30 plus year old losers in life. There's going to be a lot more too as time goes on. You have to remember that the 35 plus on here didn't grow up on Jow Forums whereas you zoomers did. It's pretty much a guarantee that all the zoomers on Jow Forums wasted their best years posting Spurdo and then Pepe.
It's a bit like heroin. You will relapse once in a while but you can definitely stop being a junkie.
t. guy who browses this shithole, but only rarely anymore.
35yo richfag here. Today is day 21 that I decided to stop being a skinnyfat fuck and have a better body.
Already lost 4kg from 80.4kg to 76.4kg, some pants are starting to fit again. Only had a cheat meal in day 6. I feel like a fucking monk that can go up to 60kg if I desired so, but will probably start bulking at 68-70kg.
I will make it bros.
36 here. First day back after a few months with a bad back. Ugh.
Thanks man, the unfucking is under way. Clawing your way up from literal about-to-hang-yourself mode is...informative. You think significantly differently every day. There is a wide range of states of mind out there desu.
Time flies like an arrow, fruitflies like a banana
I know right? Think about how many summers just go right by.
We all have limited amount of times we can go to the beach during summer. And yet you're just letting everything go by so fast.
And then realize 40% people at 30 get married and have children.
37 reporting in. Just started getting Jow Forums this year so I'm battling off a lifetime of shitty habits. Ballooned up to 220 lbs (5'9'' please no bully) and got sick of my brothers scoring fat jokes off of me. Down to 200 already and feeling great.
I wish someone had introduced me to lifting 20 years ago.
>37
goddamn you're an old man
you got kids?
>tfw i'm 30
>fat piece of shit at 32
Is there any chance of living to 50 if I stop making terrible choices?
Hell no. Had a few gf's through the years but never settled down. Went back to college at your age and got my degree so got to smash two cuties there.
I want to be Jow Forums and ripped by 40 so I can be one of those cliché "I'm in the best shape of my life" assholes from infomercials.
