Kid with his dad.

[SmithMachine]

Seen this kid with his dad and he was ovyesly making his son workout but he was like ten years old and curling like 10 kg bars. never seen a kid so young before in my gym or any gym for that matter but he was pretty into it so good on him when i think about it i wish i started at like 12.

Most gyms in the UK are for over 18's only. I wouldn't like having to train alongside kids

Lucky i don't live there other wise i would be pissed if gyms wouldn't let me in because i was only 17.

I'm not impressed unless he's eating a 10 eggs breakfast with a burnt toast.

 

[Typhon]

Does the toast have to burnt to hold muscle building qualities?

10 years old? kids that age should be sticking to basic calisthenics if you ask me.

Or eating gummy bears and playing Mario followed by freeze tag.

Unless if he's one these man kids (i know a guy who has been shaving since he was 11!) then he should be doing bodyweight and light resistance work. I really can't imagine a 10 year old strolling about my gym lifting heavy weights. It just seems wrong.

Todd Marinovich's dad had him pumping iron at about that age and the kid turned into a strong nutcase...

and obviously, that's connected?

I agree though, 10 year olds shouldn't be running around in gyms. They don't have the maturity to understand that it can be dangeoraus. Now, kids training supervised in a gym that's not crowded with a lot of grown ups doing stuff, I have no problem with. But one should encourage CNS "strenghtening" over muscle work, IMO.

Strong and nutcase may not be connected, but overburdening parents and nutcase just may be.

CCR im sure its 16 for UK gym's. Some gyms dont even care that much, but i think my gym is 16, although i see the odd person who looks like 13..

For a second I thought you meant Pistol Pete.

touche. nice one.

 

[Karky]

but it has nothing to do with pumping iron, so let's not even pretend. offcource ****ed up parents can cause ****ed up kids, I never said it couldn't. so shut up.
