hello...
I'm just wondering, does a normal male without doing exercice (not that this concerns me) get stronger with time ? and if so, what is the approximate age the male body reaches its full potential?

just worried because I train seriously but at 20 yrs old my body still looks underdevelloped... so maybe I haven't stop growing? *crosses fingers*

thanks!!

Everyone has different genetics, so if you are "underdeveloped" you are probably an ectomorph is what it sounds like you are describing.

Once you hit 25 or so, things start going downhill hormonally.

heh
it rules being weaker than my mom (or girls in general)

I guess I'll just stick with the training and diet
haha
maybe someday, I'll reach the "average joe" status

It does?

Guess it's kinda catch 22 for us ectos, cause < 25 is great for test levels and recovery ability, energy levels and such but yeah harder to put on mass. You really have to eat well and get those calories up above norm. After 25 it becomes easier to get bigger but you wish you were younger cause it's easier to stay lean. I just think lifestyle changes in late 20's is what makes the difference. Not saying this is same for everyone but just my experience.

My friend don't set your goals so low LOL. You can and WILL go far beyond AJ status with dedication (and patience).
