Oh and I currently workout 5 hours a week lifting weights. I bet I can keep that up.
You body doesn't give up muscle mass unless the stimulus is removed. And I don't plan to give up lifting. If my body starts to change, joints hurt, etc, you adjust your training. It's called instinctive training. Anyone who is serious into working out realizes there is more than one way to skin a cat. Many lifters start to decrease the percentages of their working sets and can continue to maintain their muscle mass with less stress on the joints as they age. I've seen it.
And the metabolism issues has been discussed to death. Yea your metabolisms slows down with aging, so when I am 40 years old I won't eat as much to maintain my size and maybe add in some cardio to increase my caloric expenditure. Your experience simply doesn't have to be the case. I've met plenty that don't "turn flabby" as they age.
You seem like a nice guy and usually good poster, but the "information" you are posting is simply not true.
