Yeh age is truly on our side man. This is what worried me as im closing in on 30 and well lets face it that aint no spring chicken and 40 will come in no time. So im 27 now, 28 in August and i want to be at the size/healthy i want to be at by the time im 30!
It must be super tough for the older guys and girls to get in shape. I am sooooo lucky that i work from home, pick my own hours and dont have a kid to look after or a girlfriend nagging me to do stuff. Im literally flying solo so i have all the time in the world to do this. Having to juggle 9-5 jobs, families and be at an age where recovery will be so much tougher must take some serious will power to get to the gym everyday!

I've just turned 32 but I got seriously into getting into shape at around 25 I guess. I do envy your solo lifestyle somewhat though, I don't live with my girlfriend but pretty much every weekend is taken up seeing here which I guess does eat into my grinding time (she would kill me if she read this I'm sure) but at the minute I can get by on only working Thursday and Friday so I still have 3 full days to grind and can play Thursday and Fri evenings. At my age its probably the more sensible thing to have a balance. I could go all gun ho and see if I am still good enough to make a living at poker in this day and age, but I could crash and burn...I could do well enough to keep floating by until I'm 38 and then we could all get black friday'ed and I would be well and truly fucked. So I guess I'm just trying to leave myself some variety and other options as you just don't know how online poker will pan out. If I was in my early twenties again I would deffo be single though haha.
And to put my 2 cents in about My Protein, I used them every months for about 5 years for my supplements and they're fine, whey protein is whey protein there's nothing special about it, they are no frills but you get nothing less then what you would get from somewhere like Maximuscle at twice the price. Infact a massive and expensive brand called Gaspari got found out that the levels of protein in their supplements was nearly half of what they claimed! I personally use the proteinworks at the moment, mainly because they're pretty innovative and I really love the flavours.
