I think its a given that age does make a difference to gains. For example an 18 year old and a 30 year old with similar genetics and training as hard as each other - the 18 year old would see better/quicker gains right?
Question is why? Is it testosterone levels?
FYI I'm 32 and trying to start... again...
32 is not old and you have heaps of ability for gains left.
I'm 43, restarted training at 41, still gaining strength and muscle. The thing that gets in your way at 32 is work and family, not your body
being training since 19-20.
Best bench press, along with other lifts, at age 34-38. Bench press still 93% of max at age 49 (2011).
I still dream i can beat it in next few years, so that is what i am aiming for.

To be honest the difference between someone about 20 and someone about 30 is mostly in their head.
People hit 30 and start to think they are getting old and don't try as hard.

possibly because they have been lifting for 20 years or more, even if it may not be the most consistant of training.Men in their 30s & 40s always seem to have bigger chests and are generally more vascular.. (on tv)
