Lewdog, I hope u are correct. I haven't turned flabby at all. In fact, I'm 5'10 and 188 lbs with a 32 inch waist. Been this way for years, and I'm one of the more muscular lt fit guys I know at my age. My point is that it is much much more difficult to maintain that mass after 35 or so. Muscles don't "turn to fat" per say, but muscle mass wants to decrease as you age and be replaced by fat/flab as metabolism slows. Trust me, my knees are paying for the triathlons tears ago and I've had three shoulder surgeries, so heavy lifting is out for me anyhow. I guess I was trying to point out that a leaner/smaller build will be easier to maintain as you age then a large bulky build if you still want to look good. If you think you will have that time, then good on you! I've got two kids, a busy job, and community things I do. Now, most of my work louts are plyimeyric and core in nature. I wasn't trying to be argumentative, just giving you the viewpoint of someone that's 20 years older and looked alot like you 20 years ago. I'd train differently if I could go back.
I know what it takes to build what you've built, and for that, good job. Again, just one view point to consider.
