is genetics to blame for legs/arms/back atrophy?

[Poker face Ace]

I'm noticing as the years go by fast, so do some bodyparts of some pros. What's this shit from?

[Mobster]

Age.

Yep when you are battling Father Time you are going up against a foe that is undefeated

Age and those guys beat the crap out of their body!!!

[Professor X]

Hard as fuck to carry 20" arms over the age of 50-55 unless they were like 25" to start with...

This. Frank Zane can't even use a pec deck machine because of damage to his shoulder.

It's impossible to maintain hugeness if you can't do the exercises that made them with enough weight to progress.

I see this far more common in assisted bodybuilders compared to natural. I theorize that drugs start turning on the user.

I think most of it has to do with nerve damage from over-training and a build up of scar tissue.
Age has little to do with it. Go to any big retirement community gym and see the 70 year old HRT Adonises.

Anyone who says age has little to do with it must be in their 20s...

Uh, most natural lifters don't ever get very big. The smaller you are, the less you have to lose.

This is true, but at almost 60 my arms are the biggest they have ever been. You don't have to be huge to lose muscle.

What do your flexed biceps measure?

I'm talking about maintaining huge size and 20" biceps over 55.

Vic Richards won't have a problem either....or rather he doesn't. Dude has to be over 50 and is still huge.
