AT WHAT AGE DOES MUSCLE MASS DECLINE? // If you're concerned with staying strong, lean, and healthy then you probably want to know, "When do you start to lose your muscle?"

When does muscle mass decline? At what age do you lose muscle?

In this video, I reference an older study (see below!) that looked at skeletal muscle mass in men and women between the ages of 18 and 88 years old.

At what age does muscle mass decline in men and women? I'll discuss preventing muscle loss with age, which is known as sarcopenia. You'll learn how to avoid sarcopenia, muscle loss with aging.

Although it appears there is some muscle loss in your 30s and 40s, I'll explain how to prevent muscle loss over 35.

So when does muscle mass decline? That depends!

You'll learn about the results of the study and what it means - or doesn't mean - for you.

As a 28 year old man got less muscle mass on arms and got some abs you can say 4 packs but stores body fat on lower midsection legs thighs i know this has to do with genetics and if i start a bulking phase i know it will actually get worse confused.

A little bit but I also find that if I train a bit smarter I can maintain it decently well.

I say 30s and 40s you'll see a reduction of muscle mass slowly diminish because of your testerstone
