How come PEDS can help older people build strength, but not athleticism/movement?

[BroScienceTalkatWork]

Once speed/athleticism goes it goes. But strength is a lifelong thing

So when you see a jacked 66 year old, what is that muscle tissue actually doing? Is it all slow twitch? Stamina? Extremely low intensity lifting?

I assume the loss of fast twitch is related to tendon joint and cartilage breakdown..

Because they’re gay.

Tidwell is back

WARNING: PEDs can make an old person jacked, but you might start shitting on people!

Tidwell is back

Quickly if we post multiple threads and pictures about Manny Pacquiao he will disappear again!!!!

Maybe they save their athleticism and explosive movements for the bedroom.

Because steroids does help with all those things.

Fast twitch muscles, type IIx and IIa, will naturally convert to Type I as we age. Specificity in training as you age will help mitigate that, but there will still be a decline. But yes hypertrophy, is easier to maintain than fast twitch speed.

Muscle tone and strength determine joint and ligament health. Conversely, tendon health determines muscle capability via the Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) and muscle spindles, which tell the muscle how far and how much weight it's allowed to move. The more you work the muscle the more the GTO and spindles allows you to move.

Doesnt the brains degradation affect fast twitch muscle fibers as we age?

It's just testosterone and HGH, not a melanin injection

Speed is the first thing to go, strength is the last
