Bodybuilders looking old
-
Why do bodybuilders look older than other people?
Decrease in pregnenolone, progesterone, DHEA?
Muscle meat protein throwing off the balance of protein?

I don't think it's a fitness thing, just a steroid thing. Muscles built through steroid use have a certain very obvious unnatural look to them that does look like they are aged.

@Dibodibo I assumed it was a stress related symptom. That amount of training and supplements is to maximise muscle growth. This in conjunction with rapid fat gain and loss is Possibly the opposite of maximising energy production etc.

I can't prove it but it's probably a combination of genes and the drugs they take. There are people who are into bodybuilding, even some who do very mild cycles, who look normal, or even young for their age.
It's hard to find one who's blasting to the gills that doesn't look off though.
