Children grow up and begin to take sports more seriously, want more from themselves. Let's see - maybe can help them to create something bigger from their raw meat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying so hard to get my nephews into strength training. They aren't my kids so I don't force or push anything. But whenever we are together I try and talk about it, or have them try and bend something or lift a sledgehammer.. Just little things here and there.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember myself at that age and my peers... When at the age of 14 I was training in the gym, men who were 40-50 years old said that my generation is lost. Now I look at these children who need nothing and are not interested in anything except hype of social networks, fast money and, increasingly, drugs, and I understand that my peers were much better motivated and developed intellectually and physically at this age. Now it is not uncommon for a guy at the age of 14-15 to have read only 1-2 books in his life (this is not a joke), with all the consequences for worldview and intelligence... I don't even know.. Those of my peers who went to prison for teenagers first time at 14 or 15 read books.. some at school under the compulsion of teachers, and some at home because it was interesting... And then who were those old athletes in their youth? Supermens, titans or ancient gods?... I have about a dozen guys of this age training now, and at a certain stage I even began to worry that they had something bad with their health, because the main topic of their conversations was video games and the equipment of computers and smartphones. But then, literally within a few months, they began to get covered hair on their face and body, and more and more often break their necks, looking out the windows at girls in short skirts passing by the gym. And my heart felt better))) Well, along with this, they had a desire to train more, be strong and look so that these girls would turn their necks looking at them... So, perhaps not everything is lost for modern youth yet)))) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
