Stress Free and Young. Am I Poised to See Great Gains?

To sum things up, I am 22 years old and my life is as stress-free as it has been in awhile. I moved back home after completing my undergraduate program and I am taking grad school courses and work a part time job. My food, rent, everything is paid for and I sleep late every morning. I just recently started up PE again and saw some fairly quick gains. How much will my extra sleep, stress free lifestyle and youth contribute to gains in your opinion? I will report back in another month or so

Stress free may help, healthy life may help and youth wont mean anything. There is no proof that age has any effects on growth, as a matter of fact I am sometimes surprised by how many senior members I see gaining rapidly although I would assume that it is largely due to regained EQ.

It depends. If you need stress to be productive, I would think some amount of stress would be required. A stress free mind stagnates in my opinion.

None of us can say for sure what your potential is. There are many factors at play, the most important is a dedicated routine.

Congrats on finishing college, what's your current job?

School and work provide a little stress but not much. I am pursuing a Master's in Health Administration and am working part time at a local nursing home in dining services. My end-goal is to be a nursing home administrator
