Did you guys see the show with that 10 year old bodybuilder. This kid was off the hook. He was at 1% BF they said they could not belive he was still alive. His father had him lifting sinces he was born and never let him have pizza or friends. The kid was in great shape but that is no way to raise a child. I felt bad for him.

what!?!?! do you have a link or anything. 10 is young dont you think?
that brings up a question, I have heard that you shouldnt start working out unti you were in your early teens because if your too young it isnt as effective/healthy for you. is that true?

K&P

That show pissed me off as a dad and a weight lifter. The kid was built! Seriously. They were making the dad out to be a total shit. "He didn't allow the kid to eat crap." A ton of "good" parents do that. "He had the kid working out with him in the gym and in the martial arts studio." Hell, some people would say it's a good thing to spend time with your kids.

"He didn't get to spend time with his friends." Shit, he was a little kid. They don't need to be running around town with their friends when they are 8 years old.

Then the kid started saying some shit about his father that was serious, and all in adult language. That's when I said, "I'll bet you five billion dollars the mother is divorcing the father and has custody of the kid." Bingo.

It pisses me off when parents trash each other by using the kids like that.

The worst part was how they constantly insinuated that the father was giving the boy steroids. They said it over and over and over again, while at the same time saying they couldn't prove it. Then they offered their proof. Two years after "rescuing" the child from his controlling father the kid looks like every other kid out there. "Looking at the boy now I would say it's pretty clear that the father was giving him 'something' special in those drinks." Then they quickly said that the boy was eating pizza and fast food and hasn't worked out once since taken from the father. Oh I'm sure that had nothing to do with it!

Way to "rescue" a child. He's so much better off now that he's lazy and fat and blames others for everything wrong in his life.

He could have had the world by it's tail. Dumb fuckers.


:mad: :biggun

Yes T-Bar,
It was unbelievable. I have it saved on TiVo. I can always make some VHS tapes for someone if they want to see it. It`s definately worth seeing. Kind of hard to believe. The father is somehow a real twisted fuck to put a kid thru that. And, the other gentlemen on the show who kind of took care of this kind swears the father had him on some kind of steroids!!!!.

i would really like to see this. anywhere on the web ya think?

It sounds really interesting.

K & P, it's actually more beneficial than harmful to start apposite weight-training at a young age. It's science. :)

I saw that kid a few years ago at the Mr. Olympia and at the NOC doing a posing routine

I think that the father was a too strict on the poor child but T-Bar a hear yeah too many parents do not do shit with thier kids. I think there could be a happy medium...

I agree with T-Bar. And guess what... sometimes the path to fame does not happen the same way as it does for street kids. He's 8 years old, making countless appearances, doing little promotional shows, and I'm sure he does socialize with the group in the training centre too... based on the website and pictures, he looks like he's a very happy kid.

And that does not look like any performance enhancing drugs... most kids are naturally lean... (I was a scrawny ass mofo as well.).. sure if I hit the weights properly and did real training (opposed to running around on the soccer field) I'd have been able to build up some real muscle too.

I've heard some pretty reliable rumors that this kid is on HGH. He looks it. His jaw is already protruding massively. I just fail to see how a 10 year old could put on such muscle mass without some form of assistance.

yea I heard some of the same rumors........

I started all those rumors. I was lying. Now you know the truth.


Actually I find it quite interesting that the mother was saying how bad the father was for putting the kid through all of this. Yet in most of the footage on the show, and even some posted here, it was the mother who is shown working with him.

As for the father being too strict...holy shit we are a bunch of pussies in this country now. Do you have any idea what it was like to be an 8 year old back when people actually had to "work" for a living? Shit kids were out plowing fields at that age. They were getting up at 4am to milk cows! In other countries they are out planting land mines and protecting their families by shooting people by that age.

Oh but here it's child abuse to make a kid exercise a few hours a day. Don't even get me started on that bastard not letting the kid eat junk food.

Sounds to me like the boy had a healthy MAN for a father and that's just driving the ugly bitch feminists crazy! Not to mention how outragged it's making the lazy fat media feel. I mean hell accourding to them we need to be loading up on bread in our diet just to stay healthy.

Good lord we need to stop letting fat fucks make the rules in this country.

Damn good post T-Bar....

I have to agree Buff. Sucks for the kid now, but just imagine when he gets in high school. pussy galore. On top of Athletics and shit. Watch this kid...

If he doesn't get burnt out, then he will definately do something big in the fitness area

I don't think so Marty. 20/20 showed the kid as he is now. He's joe average at best. They proudly told how he eats pizza and junk food now and hasn't lifted weights in years. He's now a product of our legal system. He's a young pre-teen (12 I think) that now believes it is his 'right' to eat like a pig and that exercise is for fanatics. He's being raised without a father and now believes the "torture" he endured was evil.

One more dumb lazy fucker as a result of our courts and our media. Too bad. That kid had serious potential.

With in a year his only form of exercise will be pulling his pants down so his underwear will show.

OK, I didn't see the 20/20 gig. Just the video clips. point taken

yeah, 20/20 "proved" that the father was giving the kid steroids by showing how average (totally unfit) the kid is now. Then they mentioned, as if it were totally unrelated, that the kid hasn't worked out in two years and regularly enjoys pizza and fast food as a normal part of his 'diet'.

That kid did have mad potential and i do agree that this country is more fat ass lazy bastards. But there are alot of kids that are pushed into there careers by there fathers that are not punched in the face. Unless the kids was lying that is not right. But T I do like your drive...

I'm still with T-Bar on this one.

Damn.. at age 6..

There is a special on Discovery channel on March 27th... I think it'd be an interesting watch and would like to see some more comments in this thread.

I sent an email to his Manager to ask him to check this thread out and give out a few comments... just to see what happens. Maybe he'll clarify a few things...
