@Kat – There are a lot of flabby guys with atrophied muscle underneath. Supplement ads that show impressive before and after photos use those guys all the time to sell product.

@Luis – A younger male will have higher testosterone levels than an older one. If it takes several years to reach one’s genetic maximum potential then the probability of success would increase if one starts lifting sooner.

I’m not talking absolutes, just probabilities. You can always find exceptions. In general, if I were a trainer and my goal were to maximize the gains for my client, I’d prefer them to be younger. 22 is still young. You had 2 years on me and those years are important years. Much more important than 39 to 41.

I disagree I began lifting weights at the age of 22, mostly all muscle mags agree that it is better to beginning lifting weights after 18 because your body is full develope at least male wise. I made gains and prior to this I NEVER lifted weights, I reach in arm size 19 inch which are not your ordinary arms. At about 28 I stop lifting and I began again at the age of 39 I am now 41, I do agree that once you beginning lifting and you stop for a long period of time your muscle mass will return. But, I disagree with the early age theory.

Micky used steroids, he has admitted it…… and so what? in the US steroids are made out to be the devils creation, in reality all we are talking about is something that OUT BODIES PRODUCE NATURALLY!! things are out of controll over in the US!

Also, Gear (steroids) are not a majic pill (or injection). to get into shape like micky did (just watched the film) especially at his age, takes allot of hard work and dedication with training, recovery, and diet.

Greeat film, great performance and thank you micky for showing that even when we get to be in our 50′s and later, us men can still look, and no doubt feel awsome!!

I do not know. They seem more interested when actors like De Niro gain fat for a role like Raging Bull or that one girl did for Bridget Jones.
