Do people gain more muscle when they stop growing compared to teenage years?!
Question: No, it's the exact opposite actually. The body is no longer producing high amounts of testosterone, so the muscles grow at a slower rate. As people(women especially) age they tend to become less active, that also contributes to muscular atrophy. The body produces high amounts of testosterone until about the age of 23 or 24. After that it tends to level out and adding muscle becomes more difficult. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.
