"Past (someone's or something's) prime" -> Thời huy hoàng của ai/điều gì đã qua đi và không còn nữa.

“I now weigh 289 pounds and on August 24 I make my Wrestling debut with Northland Wrestling,” he said. “I am maybe a little past my prime as a wrestler (người đấu vật) but I plan on giving them a good run for their money.”
Granted, this is nothing like the .946 OPS and 37 homers that Donaldson averaged from 2015 to 2017. And while it's still good, Donaldson's defense is also past its elite (ưu tú, xuất sắc) prime. Given his age and injury history, it also can't be taken for granted that his good health will last into 2020 and beyond.
Dileep K, freelance media person, said, “I worked in a steady job for 18 years and for the last 10 years have been on my wife’s visa. She works for a leading national airline. While I am past my prime age to work, I feel this new rule will be able to help many other husbands who are sponsored by their wives to be able to contribute to the family kitty and have a more economically sound life. It will also help young undergraduates (sinh viên chưa tốt nghiệp) being sponsored by other family members who can earn a modest amount as a stipend (lương) and support themselves. This will make every adult in the family productive. Besides providing the government with an already available talent pool for jobs, it is also providing the families here a better spending power which will contribute towards strengthening the economy.”
