I just bought a 6kg bar for the kids (7yo’s) to deadlift with 5kg bumperplates so they can do the same thing dad does😅

Our Dad taught my Brother and I to clean and press and do a few other lifts over 50 years ago. We did really well together. I'm still at it and still enjoy it. I enjoyed helping our Mom when she was prescribed exercises to slow the progression of Parkinson's. My experience has been that it can't work with everyone in the family, but when it works it can be great. Thanks.

Kids don’t “train” They exercise and have fun. Getting them used to exercising and “working out” is a good thing. Can set them up for that drive when they do hit puberty and can start actually training.

Grant is right -- people do have to decide for themselves what they want to do. And Jordy is right -- making that first point of exposure a not-negative (fun) experience will certainly help the person feel like they got a good payoff for going to the gym and solidify their decision to go. Good stuff!

Got my 15yo son in the gym now. He likes it. Ex-wife seems curious but I just drop advice to her, it's her decision if she wants to go down this road. Been trying to get my brother under the bar but he prefers that "corporate" style machine based workouts. I can only control my kids and myself. Good message Grant.

@Kyleforthe3SIKE yes you do. They're children and they don't have the authority or maturity to make serious decisions all by themselves. I insist my children come to athletics club. Sometimes they grumble and say they want to stay and play Xbox but then, once they're there, they are running really well and enjoying the time with their team mates. It's this attitude of letting kids run their own lives which leads to them going out in the streets getting stabbed and doing drugs.

My wife does Pilates and a little with free weights. She's expressed some interest in barbell workouts, but she is unwilling to spend more than 15-30 minutes.

The issue really is that it starts to get tough and they just don't want to push their body so hard. That's fine, it's their life to do as they choose. All you can do is offer advice and support them.

For those totally new to weight training maybe ease them into it? Goblet squats, sled work, lat pulls, cable work, rack pulls. Then introduce the barbell.

It helps I think if you can show the benefits of weight training in the real world. Like the deadlift is a perfect example of lifting a heavy bag of shopping from the floor. Overhead press is how you would lift a box onto a high shelf. The stronger you are at these lifts the easier it is to do these daily activities. You'd be surprised at how people just wouldn't have thought like that. I used to sell computers and people would ask questions about components because they literally knew nothing. When I explained that the hard drive was like a storage cabinet and RAM was like having a bigger desk to fit more work on and the processor was literally the brains then you could see the little light bulb in their head switch on. If you can translate activities into the real world people just become much less intimidated by it. All of these weightlifting moves are moves you use in day to day life and doing them makes your day-to-day day life much easier.

Kids suck!
@ramblingimbecile2295 Ай бұрын
Also some kids just arent ready and youve got to know your kid otherwise you could be making them have a miserable experience. My daughter is a sprinter and she's looking for extra training but I'll not coach her yet because really she isnt ready. I know that if i start trying to get her to squat with better form itll just make her upset so Ill leave it until I know she is really ready for the training.

Most of the time men just react differently to women when they're challenged. Like if I'm being coached and the instructor is barking at me then I'll respond. A lot of men just perform better when they're pushed harder and from the outside it almost looks like abuse. Some women react in the same way but a lot of women just shut down if you scream at them or critique them in a certain way. You have to know your client and you sure as hell should know them if they're family. A lot of women do just go to the gym for the social aspect of it. They meet friends there now and do a bit of a workout and then get coffee afterwards. It doesn't matter if they're mailing it in, that's their prerogative. I've tried training with my wife and she just doesn't want to do it. She wants to do a bit on the cardio machines and then spend the rest of the time on the machines.

A lot of people, especially women, seem to think thatbthr minute they start working out with weights they'll just turn into a hulk. I've heard it plenty of times that they've avoided using weights because they think it'll make them look butch and lose their curves. In my opinion women look way better having put on a bit of muscle.
