What age would you choose? Mentally you still keep growing and you keep your normal life span. Also, what age are you currently?

    18 - I thought I was fat because waifs were in style, but my body was actually banging. I’m 72. I would most of all appreciate being arthritis free, with major organs all working at optimum.

    Look after your knees, people.

    23-27, that’s the age when I stopped feeling too young, but still had a serviceable amount of hair and could grow a good beard. Also I miss being horny. Late-thirties now.

    Don’t need the whole body, just turn all my joints/cartilage/soft tissue back to 18 and I’ll just keep it moving (literally)

    1. Old enough to do adult things. Body can process alcohol in a single night. Boner worked on command, not that it doesn’t now but I feel like it was more so back then.

    22, peak army physical fitness. After Iraq, my mental state made it very difficult to keep it up and that started the decline. I’m now 40, with back, feet, ankle and knee problems despite not being hugely overweight.

    I guess I’m the weird one choosing a much younger age. Perfect for me would be 16-18. Feel like that was when my body was most resilient.

    22 for me.

    When I was around 22 I was in the best shape of my life. Assuming that the prompt means going back to the same state, I’d take it with no hesitation. It was before I damaged both my shoulders and started putting on weight, and it was before the chronic illness I have had shown itself and caused a lot more problems for me.

    If it means that my body is reverted and not my mind, I could go to see my doctor and make sure that none of the damage happens, and be in a much better condition than I am now.

    1. That was how old I was just before my metabolism slowed down, my muscles gave up and waved a little white flag, and without any warning at all, I was suddenly a fat bastard.

    Late 20s. Full head of hair, putting on muscle happened almost accidentally etc.

    I’m in better shape now but if I trained then like I have to now…

    Probably 36, best shape of my life. I’m 43 now and it’s not bad, gotta get back at it but I felt amazing in my body in my mid thirties.

    Off the top of my head? 30. I was fully transitioned but my chronic illness has not taken off yet.

    Currently 40

    As much as I’d like to say like 21, probably 25 since that’s when your brain is apparently fully developed.

    29, and I’m… uh… I stopped counting at forty.

    At 29 I was done growing, used to my adult body, hadn’t yet developed some of my current bad habits, and still had a youthful metabolism.
