💡 Did you know we start losing muscle as early as our 30s? Here’s what usually happens ⬇️ ⚡ Muscle + strength peak in our late 20s to early 30s. ⚡ From 30–50, we lose about 3–5% of muscle per decade if we’re not training. ⚡ After 60, that speeds up to 1–2% per year (strength even faster — up to 3% per year). ⚡ By our 70s–80s, many people have lost 30–50% of their peak muscle mass if they haven’t worked to maintain it. This age-related muscle loss is called sarcopenia. It’s driven by: ❌ Inactivity (the #1 cause) ❌ Lower protein intake ❌ Hormonal shifts (testosterone, estrogen, growth hormone) ❌ Neurological changes that reduce muscle activation ❌ Chronic inflammation + illness 🚀 The good news: muscle loss isn’t a guarantee. Strength training + eating enough protein can dramatically slow — or even reverse — sarcopenia. Research shows people in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s can still build new muscle. ✨ Strong is ageless. It’s never too late to start, but the earlier you begin, the m...
