As far as aging, yes, muscle WILL turn to fat as you age no matter what you do. You will also develop fat deposit ratios in different body areas than when you are young. Again, nothing you can do about it. Then there's gravity. It'll play a roll also. You can cite all the studies you can find, but if you are huge when you are 27, you will struggle to not look flabby and have manboobs at 50. It's a combination if things. I didn't say it can't be done, but in all likelihood, you won't have the joint health, metabolism, or time, to workout intensely enough to maintain size without becoming flabby.

Completely untrue.
