Answer:
Many men have good muscle tone and definition into their 20s. Usually by 30 or so, the metabolism slows down a bit and you have to watch what you eat and be more conscious about exercise.

You may notice the muscle atrophy a bit, but the fat layer covering the muscle will be more noticeable.

A few men just have really fast metabolisms and stay thin their whole life, but I wouldn't bet on you being one.

Answer:
I think the main major muscles will deteriot (sorry, I know it's spelled wrong) overtime if it doesn't get used. But some muscles are always going to stay with us because we are always moving and lifting some way or another.

You still have your abs maybe because you are still eating healthy and your metabolism is faster than others.
