My son tried to bench 315lb for the first time this week.



...couldn't do it and needed a spot...so I punched him the face and told him he was no son of mine.

Was I being a little to tough or should I have waited until he had the bar off his chest and had a chance to stand before I hit him

I have been working out with my 14 year old son the last few years. pretty awesome stuff !

My son and daughter and I practice jiu jitsu together.

My daughter enjoys it, I think, only because dad likes it and she wants to like things I like. She's a good kid. Very strong for her age and very muscular and really gets jiu jitsu, but she's a girly-girl and doesn't really have a passion for it.

My son enjoys it because he really likes it. His favorite move this week - the gogoplata. He's got these little bony shins and amazing flexibility that lets him land it. He thinks it's lots of fun watching dad turn red and tap out.

And of course they like lifting with dad too. But only just to compete with each other...not for any other reason. I'm fine with that. They don't need my mental issues that turned me on to lifting.

My step father took me to gym. Only really good thing he ever did for me.
He was a juicer. Later didn't wan't to workout with his own son. He could not
afford to juice any more so he felt it was pointless...

If he's still living under your roof you should be punched in the face too. No way I'd let my son live with me if he was a little twink.

not everyone who lifts has mental issues as one member previously stated.  I got in to lifting because I enjoy being healthy and looking good.    Don't wanna be a 40 year old fat ass on his way to diabetes and obesity.       Also lifting aids us in day to day life.   How people perceive you has a lot to do with ones look.   When I see a fat lazy person I don't even want to do business with them

I used to be a personal trainer years ago and I can tell you the worst advice I saw came from 2 places:

1) dads training their son

2) guys training their girl friend.

Sure. I would never generalize that everyone who lifts does so because of inadequacy issues. I like to think lots of guys lift just because they like it.

what is the consent age for using HGH, DNP and insulin?  Could save a lot of money going dutch when my kid is old enough.

Also it's disappointing they don't make Zubaz in XS 3/4 sizes.
