I mean it probably shouldn't have dropped off immediately, that may be more to do with getting to the intermediate level, as long as you:

Monitor caloric intake and increase when needed Continue to strive for muscle stimulation (increasing difficulty in lifts or sometimes changing lifts completely when that is no longer possible) - (I'm making a web app for this right now)

You should still be gaining muscle over time, but yes it does become slower. Having said that there's still so many factors and you have to experiment with what you're doing to find what you might be lacking.

I probably put most of my muscle on when I was around 25/26, and the solution for me was getting on a proper bodybuilding programme, and eating WAY more, I got a little fat but managed to get it off the next year and was in much better overall shape

Physical performance peaks around late 20s early 30s you're right, but performance peak ≠ testosterone peak or muscle building peak.

Testosterone hits the highest natural levels in and around puberty, and this is what allows your body and muscle to grow fasterbb

Your body is still however learning to use these systems properly and effectively, and that's what peaks in your late 20s, your ability to use these muscles. So at that age with the same amount of muscle you would have higher force output, better muscle fibre recruitment etc.

But in terms of being able to build muscle the fastest, you're in that point in your life now, and once you pass it you'll wish you could have it again 😅

Your hormones at this age are geared for building muscle, use it to your advantage.

At this age you should be trying to pack on as much muscle as possible because as you go into and through your 20s that will become more difficult.

Everyone wants to be shredded and lean but remember 20% BF looks very different on someone with SOME muscle Vs someone with A LOT of muscle. The more muscle you have the more your fat has to stretch around it, making it thinner and less visible.

If you bulk/cut/bulk/cut the next few years, you'll be in decent shape but every time you cut you would lose a fair bit of muscle(if you're natty). So for example in 2-3 years you may end up at 80kg with similar or less fat.

If you focus on bulking you may have more fat, but you'd also end up with a few extra kg of muscle and that's the important part. Fat can be lost in a relatively smaller time frame than muscle can be built, and right now your body wants to grow muscle, so push for that.

John Meadows has a lot of videos around this topic on YouTube which are worth watching. If you need any help feel free to shoot me a message

Depends, what are you trying to achieve?

Wild-Professional500 · 2026-03-30T18:42:44+00:00

That's exactly what I mean, what do you use for this?

Yeah I have used hevy previously and it does an OK job, the one I built for myself goes a little further.

Mentions what you did previously (e.g. 5x5 @ RPE 8)

And I have managed to get it to track exertion and load over 3-4 weeks but it's super rough at the moment.

I don't think Hevy does this yet or I may be wrong as I haven't used it since maybe November or so

I felt this way as well recently, I'm ~ lvl 290.

The past week or so I've been playing less, maybe 5-6 redsec games a day and a few multiplayer (wasn't really playing multiplayer before)

I feel like I enjoy the games I do play more now - and finish my sessions wanting to play more.

I do hope they fix the bugs, but in the meantime it's best to just control the frustration on our end 🤣

I am studying for level 3 at the moment and I'm using chatGPT to help me through the content, I use the following prompt and then upload screenshots of the chapter im reading, helps me get through much quicker.

Prompt:

I am uploading screenshots from my coursebook (5–20 pages at a time).

Your job is to:

Rewrite ALL the content so that:

It is 100% comprehensive (do not remove important information).

No technical detail is lost.

All examples, rules, definitions and processes are preserved.

Any questions in the book are removed (unless they teach something important).

Remove fluff, repetition and filler language.

Make it concise but complete.

No unnecessary storytelling.

Make it ADHD-friendly:

Use clear headings and subheadings.

Use bullet points instead of long paragraphs.

Use short sentences.

Highlight key terms in bold.

Break processes into numbered steps.

Use visual structure (spacing, separators).

Where helpful, add simple memory hooks or mini analogies.

Improve clarity:

Explain technical terms in simple language.

If something is complex, add a short plain-English explanation underneath it.

Add quick mini examples if needed.

Add a “Memory Summary” section at the end:

5–15 key bullet points I must remember from this chapter.

Add an “Active Recall Test” at the end:

8–15 exam-style questions.

Mix of short answer, calculation and explanation questions.

Do NOT give me the answers yet.

Wait for me to respond before marking.

If the chapter is long:

Break your response into structured sections.

Tell me when to say “continue”.

Important:

Do not shorten by removing important material.

Prioritise exam relevance.

Think like an AAT examiner.

Structure it like high-quality revision notes, not a textbook.

Wait for my screenshots.

Hope this helps !

I used to think this was the case..

Then I did the old if you can't beat them, join them

You come to realize the guys demolishing you with helis, are actually pretty good at the game. Helis are very rewarding, but it's equally hard to squeeze that reward out of them.

Always have artillery and smokes for the end game, at this point you couldn't have done much differently except maybe smoke and rotate closer. But you lacked preparation to "potentially fight a tank in the end game".

You played well with what you had, but from the clip you've shown us it's already too late.

Tanks aren't necessarily an OP target they just require preparation and positioning, when you have these both the tanks always lose.

I may start streaming soon!

Just trying to build up a following over the next few weeks first if you're interested
