You Can't Grow Muscle After 24 + Sunday Cheat Day Meals | Mike O'Hearn

Starting out, I was always under the impression that you couldn't build muscle after the age of 24. Here is what set me up to win and improve over the years... Really pay attention to what I'm saying here, and comment below as what you believe the deeper message of this video is.

I just turned 24 and ive been 280lbs soft and I bulked for years and im currently cutting. I think he is correct in that we grow easy AF between 20-30 but there are many examples of great bodybuilders starting in their late 20s successfully

[@ljh2378]

He’s correct about getting as strong as possible, late teens - early twenties. However, 25-32 age range is when you will grow the most as long as you maintain a consistent diet and are in the gym at least x4 per week. If you do not have any competitive goals, stay on a maintenance calorie intake. This is how you will optimise your health in general, whilst keeping a good physique. Extreme Cutting and bulking creates unhealthy relationships in all aspects of your life, creating a good physique is achievable with consistent slow progression.

[@yaboy6516]

You would be amazed how old you can be and still be young witb proper nutritien and workout

[@sumsar0125]

How would you define a consistent, slow prog? ~1 pound of scale weight per month?

[@ljh2378]

samsar0125 I would say roughly yeah, however don’t get focused on the scale. Your weight will fluctuate within reason. Take progress shots of your body composition, if it’s aesthetics your focusing on, if your generally trying to get stronger and a bit healthier, maybe look at the scale once a week, just to ensure your keeping on track.

[@sumsar0125]

@@ljh2378 Listened to an interview with Eric Helms where he recommended a pound per month. It is difficult to track such a small amount but you're obviously looking for a trend over time - say 6 lbs in six months time. I'm 6ft 2 currently at a meager 163 lbs, pretty lean except for a small roll (just enough to pinch between thumb and index) underneath my navel. I think I'll track that roll as I gain weight to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. Even though I'm currently underweight I'm not interested in a pot belly. My end goal is probably a lean 175 lbs (4 pack'ish) a la Ryan Gosling in Place Beyond the Pines. In that sense my aspirations are likely the total opposite of 99% of Mikes' viewers.

[@michaelpeters364]

I'm 49 and have never been bigger or stronger. I've gained a lot of muscle mass past 35 and and am still gaining mass - - especially in my legs, which are playing catch-up from skipping leg days when I was young (I thought running counted). Bodybuilding is a hobby for me, a way to stay healthy, strong and build up muscle mass and bone density against old age, so I can feel young well into it. I have trouble with my weight (and always have since childhood), but I'd rather be strong, muscular and a little bit fat (currently bouncing between 275 and 280... lean but not ripped, I'd probably be 235-ish), than lighter, skinny-fat and weak. I did lift in my teens, but really didn't know what I was doing until I was in my 30s... and spent most of my 20s running in an attempt to lose fat (didn't work). My work is sedentary and I workout to counter that. I'll never be as muscular as you or Arnold in his prime, but I've still added significant muscle after a lot of people say that's over.

[@andymccreight3175]

280?! Sounds like you're a heart attack waiting to happen

[@thomaswood5246]

Despite the prior comments ripping you they do have a point. You need to do some research on good eating habits. Throw away the idea that 230 is skinny fat or whatever. Stop eating out, get rid of the oils, and eat more whole foods. Im a little younger but get it. I just dont want to die at 50 because I like hot pockets and Mexican food.

Yea the semi lean semi chunky look works best for naturals and can actually give you a semi enhanced look while still feeling good and living your life without taking shit too seriously while still being able to weigh around 210-220 in the 6’ to 6’4 range and look respectable.

[@jamesball7322]

41 this June and so far I’m gaining muscle,heres some personal feelings on the matter past science I’ve never actually put in the time and effort in a gym till last year which means I didn’t have a physique worth pointing out till now Main point is I haven’t destroyed my body past a point where I can’t gain now if that makes sense Thank you 🙏

[@55Porter]

I tell people all the time the earlier you start lifting in life, the more muscle mass you can gain over the years. People love to say you can only put on (insert number) pounds of lean muscle naturally, and they use equations and so forth to demonstrate it, but they don't take into account when you start. If you start in your early-mid teens, you'll not only put on that early size from lifting, but also the weight you would have put on naturally just in going from a boy to a man. I started at 15 and have put on probably 80+ lbs of lean mass NATURALLY over the last 25 years. If I hadn't started until my early-mid 20's that number would probably be 20-30 pounds lower.

[@eurokid83]

55Porter you will eventually reach your genetic limit as a natty lifter at some point. Obviously generic limits vary from person to person but eventually everyone who trains will get there.

[@Dr_Dude]

I started at my 37 and added 47-48 lbs in the first year NATURALLY (and i am still natural), now i am 38.5 and still adding weight, and its mostly lean mass ... so not sure where you broth this 20-30 lbs after early-mod 30's !!!

[@juliusjacob1416]

Well honestly from all my lifting friends who easily got big started around 17-19 including me. Some of my friends who started lifting at 22+ never really got the look that people say ‘damn you lift bro’. I’m almost 26 now and every year I’ve beem slowly improving, but the base amount of mass I gained when I was younger. Also, the older you get, the more likely you will get small/big injuries that hinder your training. Right now after gyms closed for 3 months Im not in a good spot but dedicated to be in my best shape in half a year!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gg025]

Regardless of when you start training, your progress is gonna slow down a lot after the first few years. You make more than half your lifetime gains in like the first year of lifting, there's huge diminishing returns after newbie gains. I'm willin to bet your gains are a lot slower now not cause you're 26, but cause you already made your newbie gains

Hey Mike, I love your content as always, yes you slow down after 25, but personally I keep growing, even if I m 29, train heavy using progressive overload it's the secret no metter what age you are, especially if your nutrition it's on point, so much respect Mike.

[@michaelgargiulo2441]

Hey Mike I think you look better than you did in your American gladiator days and you look like you are more muscled now. So I totally agree with the content and the facts of listening to your body,tweaking your work outs and making adjustments as you get older. Training smarter is training harder to challenge your body and make continuous progress whether your gains are major or minor. I for one follow principles never sacrifice form for weight and keep your joints healthy so you can continue to do what you love.

Gopean it takes the hard work, dedication, sacrifice to reach this kind of physique Having said that, PEDs do help tremendously.

No hater here, I do give props to the guy but coming out clean won’t tarnish his accomplishments because you still need to put in the hard work even with PEDs assistance. I think the one thing that he hates the most is that once people find out that you are using, they simply attribute it to the drugs. That gotta suck!

He does not say that bodybuilding is impossible after 24 - he does mention that the best time to get muscle mass, size and body structure is before age 24. However, I see that some men develop muscles much later in life, when they have the financial resources and independence to afford a good diet. Most teenager and young men will develop natural body structure (excluding the gym), by sports, doing household chores, or by helping dad in the garage - helping dad change the tire, helping with DIY at home, lifting heavy grocery bags, working on the farm, etc. This is how some young men develop good stature without even knowing about the gym. I think he is true here although I think that he means an age range of 24 - 30.

Most people can’t develop the muscle by 24 so telling young people it slows at this point is miss-leading. It comes across that you sell you programs to the 18-24 demographic. Sarcopenia happens after age 30, you begin to lose as much as 3% to 5% per decade if not weight training. 1 to 1.3 grams (g) of protein per kilogram of body weight for older adults who do resistance training. If possible, divide your protein equally among your daily meals to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

[@flexonation6916]

1000 Calories above maintenance means 8 pounds a month and that's around 96 pounds a year. Even if I consider cardio and the calories I burn from training, that goes around 60-80 pounds a year. That amount of muscle is i guess the most that can be gained by a Natural lifter in his entire life of lifting and if he stays focused on his nutrition and training as Mike. It's good you're telling people to gain and don't fool around like Insta models but 1000 calories is not what we want. 1000 calories plus from what they are already eating would be fair enough but that too with slow and gradual increments. Agreeing on all other points you mentioned. I just don't want big pieces of fat lying around in my gym.

You shouldn’t even realistically pay attention to most things he says. But he’s an excellent background noise when you’re taking a break from studying and drawing.

I'm making my my biggest gains in size now in my late 20s. But I do remember Arnold was huge in his late teens early 20s he wrote in his book he didn't care about definition or being ripped he just wanted to be as big as a house. I made the mistake of eating too clean in my early training years I was trying to bulk on basically a pre contest diet not a good idea.

Age is a number they say. Here's the real deal. At 20, 30 and 40 everybody body is different.

To any young kids out there listening to this. Keep in mind some of us have listened for years, and come back to him for the cringe and to try and find any SINCERE usefull advice. That is HARD. You can't put your defense down , he needs to be listened to carefully. Half of it is bullshit a 1/4 of it is him hinting at how people dare question if he is on steroids or not. This channel slowly but surely is taking the blahino route (which is an universe on its own). But be careful. You don't want to believe something and take action on those beliefs, the day he admits to steroids will be like meh..

Mike,when they say you do t grow after 24,they’re talking about bone growth

[@BreeZieDoesiT]

Mike o tren at it again

[@tshortbull8683]

Of course he says these things AND THEN tries to sell you his nutrition and exercise programs. I'm 37 years old and I put on 5 pounds of muscle in 2 months after losing some from bein laid up for a month.

[@eddiejimenez2582]

Just by saying you gained 5 lbs of muscle in 2 months at 37 years old shows how much you don’t know shit about fitness/bodybuilding, and shows why you can’t appreciate the game the OG is spittin

[@tshortbull8683]

@@eddiejimenez2582 Yeah okay

[@tshortbull8683]

@@eddiejimenez2582 My 5 pounds in 2 months might not be alot to someone who uses steroids and hormones and the like; but for a natural, that's alot for 2 months. Unless you got freak genes, there are those types.

[@BoerboelBladeandAriaTV]

T Short Bull u gained through muscle memory then naturally you put on fuck all muscle as time goes by,and anyways who’s says the hole 5 lb was muscle how is this even possible to know when dexas scans aren’t even accurate and that’s the most accurate way anyways good lifting and keep up the good work am not hating and am not a Mike o Hearn fan either but he seems like an ok guy

[@tshortbull8683]

@@BoerboelBladeandAriaTV The point is dude says it's hard but it's really not. I used a bia scan. I question the accuracy too but if you go in to do it as hydrated as possible you'll get the most accurate reading possible.

Mike in current cycle....💪. Mike who never took drugs....🤏

[@danielmoore62]

People say he's juicing cause they jealous. I dont see Mike as a roid user, I see a powerlifter with a low bodyfat.

[@TheMovieHangout]

Mike how many mg of test do you run a week? That’s all that I want to know.

[@victorc8804]

What about the older guys 35 to 50 😅😂,you always on that young guy tangent in past videos I notice

[@jamesbakis6330]

because young people are the majority of people who learn

[@adjuadju12]

Test man, low dosages

imagine misleading people to make a living sad

[@aletheiaquest]

Why does Jeffrey rarely put a link up when Mike points or says there'll be one?
