    20s and 30s..and 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s

    ETA.. I suppose as T levels naturally drop as we age it may make those things harder but that age, start point, end point, is different for everyone. The factors within our control like program and nutrition are significantly more important then some general age trend

    But, in the last analysis, it doesn't matter: Age transplants are not a thing, and most goals can be accomplished at most ages (absent some disability getting in the way, and disabilities can happen at any age). Too bad we gotta put in the work. ;)

    (I grant that being an overall elite athlete (such as an Olympian) is probably not achievable in most sports for an octogenarian, but reaching an elite level among octogenarians is.)

    I'm 37 and looked nothing like this at 35. Don't worry about your age

    I'm not sure why it matters - you can't do anything about your age so just get on with it. Age shouldn't be a reason to not do something. There are many non age related factors (both controllable and uncontrollable) that would impact your results a lot more.

    I met a 92 year old Senior Olympian last year. She was quite an inspiration!

    My 80 yo mother inspires me as well.
