Wile I still push myself in the gym nearly every day, for some reason I'm just not as energetic as I used to be. I'm 33, and was in my 20s when COVID came around. I got vaxed quickly, and have gotten boosters since. I still caught COVID twice. Not fun. Still not the same though, although hitting 30 and beyond might have something to do with it too, as that's the "line" where athletes of all levels usually start to loose a step or a second of reaction time.
The constant brain fog is not cool either. It's like I'm stoned out of my mind sometimes and not able to function properly....but without the relaxation that being stoned brings.
if you're not an elite strength athlete, hitting 30 will not yet have overly negative effects. as an intermediate athlete you might still be able to improve well into your forties.
even elite strength athletes used to hit their peak well into their mid- to late thirties (weightlifting) or even fourties (powerlifting, strongman). same with endurance athletes (in both cases that's not completely true anymore, the best are getting younger and they peak earlier).
