30 here. I'm on a 3-4 day a week routine these days. Work has picked up so i've had to adjust my routine. I've moved away from the workouts I used to do on a 6-7 day a week routine. Now, instead of training a couple muscles each day I've transitioned to deads, squats and bench almost every time i go in. Then, i'll tweak with spot-training and lagging groups. Just coming off a 400mg/wk test cruise. I used to run more compounds but this last time around was trying to figure out the minimum dose I need to maintain my "work" weight (~187) and still have good strength. The hard part is coming off, I just want to stay on but have kids in the cards in the next couple of years and am worried about derailing that train. Sacrifices homies.
Mid to late 30s here. I think the biggest thing I've noticed at this point is how your body changes over the years. Mentally and physically. I notice it takes me a bit longer to recover from things that only took me a very short time to recover from in my early 20s. I still lift heavy, but not as frequently and with adequate recuperation time. I'm a lot more mindful of my overall health now as well, especially when it comes to my diet and supplementation. I haven't run a heavy cycle in a few years, although I still have the mindest and a lot of gas left in the tank to push it if I choose to. It's just my thought process that has adapted over the years. A heavy cycle for me now probably wouldn't be the same caliber that it was in my 20s. My mid 30s self thinks more about health and longevity than my early 20s self did.
Early to mid 30s here, 245lbs, 6' 10-11%bf currently focusing on explosive movements geared around mma. I still bench squat and dead lift. One day a week each but I fill most of the rest of my gym time with brute sand bag work, battle ropes, heavy bag , grappling. Heavy bag slams, sledge, tire flips , weighted dips, body drags, ect. I train 6 days a week but only lift 3-4. On my off days from lifting I do 7-12 rounds of heavy bag work. 3 minute rounds then go straight to jiu-jitsu and take down work or sparring. A lot more cardio these days verses my powerlifting 20s. Feel better then ever and still break 1,500+ on my big 3 lifts so I couldn't be happier. Currently running test E, Mast E, Primo E, anavar , and aromasin. Best shap of my life. Ramping up for a fight late June. Diet is pretty basic, high protein , high carbs, moderate fats. 1.5 grans protein per pound of bw, 3-4 carbs per pound and about .5 grams fat per pound works best for me to maintain mass and energy with a fairly high intensity training regimen. I snack during training but counting the technical training in striking and jitz I spend 12-15 hours a week training. Calories are a must to maintain my heavy weight status
39 for a couple more months! Mostly training hard, def more cardio and core then ever before, I seem to be leaner without and adjustments but diet and cleaning out chems from all sources possible. Longevity is now the focus.

I am in my early 30s and I don't see enough of what the guys around my age and younger are up to.
Thanks for sharing all of you. Keep on posting. Let FG know your here.
