Proud Dad Moments? (1 Viewer)

[Pipe Line]

Won't be a big deal for anyone except for me but I'm an avid powerlifter. Have a meet in a few weeks. My daughter hangs out with me in the garage while I work out, she's entertained by it. Anyway, she's started to want me to put chalk on her hands and clap them together like I do, and can now hold a few of my smaller weights as well, and has tried to imitate me doing ab exercises.

I'm gonna call BS cause power lifters don't do abs.

Just kidding good work getting the kids involved in fitness.

#4,773 out of 27,022. The hills in that 20 mile marker range kicked his ass. he was down to 6:44/mile heading into them. Finished in 3:02:59 with an average of 07:24/mile. Super proud of him for pushing through and finishing this milestone race.

Qualifying for Boston is legit, finishing top 20% is chad bro stuff.

Super common to go out a little fast & pay for it in the stretch, but that's still better than anything I ever did. Nice run.

She'll be 2 next week! I have a generator in one of the corners and her thing for a while has been using the handle, to move the generator around, like a shoulder press type movement, and makes faces and grunts a little bit lol

My daughter has recently gotten into "helping" me with deadlifts. Idk how much weight is added when a 26 lb toddler pushes down on one side of the bar, but I think my max has gone up that much on my right side.

In November of 2008, we were at the dinner table discussing the upcoming election. My son and daughter were asking what time we would know who won. I gave them a little history lesson about the 2000 election (Bush/Gore), and that it took quite a while to find out the winner. After a few minutes my son (7 at the time), piped up and said "Frank Gore ran for president?"

His knowledge of US history may not have been great, but he did know his NFL running backs! Proud Dad moment!

lol new addition along with cardio near the beginning of the year. Had a physical a few weeks back and doc didn't love my blood pressure numbers so I had to make a few changes. I'm infamous on this board for being the 6' 245 lb guy wearing size 40 jeans. Some of that has changed.

No doubt about it. I have a w shaped bar that I use for different cable movements. It sits on the ground. That's her deadlift bar. It's a tad bit too heavy for her so she gets pissed about that, but can lift up either side of it and gets pretty excited when that happens.

I couldn't walk a marathon right now. Probably die.

Son got a 34 on first ACT attempt and is a finalist for National Merit Scholar. Maybe semifinalist. Not exactly sure how that works.

Midland has a powerlifting team. I went there for a year back in 2011, think they started it a couple years after I transferred. I got really into the weights that year and spent basically everyday at the Y in Fremont in the gym. Knowing what I know now, wish that was around when I was there, probably would have traded in the cleats for the barbell full time. But, I was 160 lbs soak and wet at the time.
