I dunno about pray (being an atheist) but I almost wish something would happen to him because I have genuine grave concerns that that kid will end up crippled because of the idiot, or at best a really screwed up teen/young adult just because of the constant bullying/pressure from the neverwas (let alone hasbeen) wanker of a father who is pushing him for all the wrong reasons, when he himself has done nothing but run and quit at the slightest hurdle. Remembering how he treats women when there's no witnesses, just imagine how repugnant his treatment of spencer is given how much abuse and overbearing behaviour comes out in the vids/pics/stories that are effectively the 'brian show' where he thinks he's a public relations genius and showing off his best side etc.
Here’s the sad fact that needs to be realized, there are many parents who are worse than this guy and don’t deserve kids.
The “world record” bench press is weird, and it’s because it’s self proclaimed . There’s not a governing body that recognizes lifts for 36 pound 6 year olds, because people would likely condemn that type of competition (unless I’m completely wrong). This group of people appear to be set up to promote positivity and celebrate success with whoever showed up to compete. And I’m willing to bet they created a special class/age group for Hankins because he called and requested it for his son, who he likely described as a “weight lifting fanatic.”
We all know this is 100% a Hankins ego driven award and based on his videos posted, his son has very little interest in the lift, or if he does Hankins looks like an idiot for sharing the videos where his son is being required to complete the lift before he can play video games.
BUT it’s no different than these parents who push the kids the same age into other sports like soccer, baseball or martial arts or whatever those Jon Bennett Ramsey contests are.
