Making weight

[dangermouse]

Hello, was just wondering what i should expect in years to come when my metabolism slows and it becomes harder to make weight. Obviously as one gets older it becomes alot harder to shed fat, as many pro boxers experience. Does this also mean it will become easier to build muscle mass? or is this just wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking.

Yes, it becomes harder and harder to cut. And yes, it will become easier to put on muscle mass, but you have to bear in mind that this also means its easier to put on fat. If you cut weight for a long time your body wants to put on fat and you have to work your ass off to keep that balance in your favor.
