Does your dad workout?
>>76763141Nope my dad was a useless fat lump who couldn't even run if he needed to. Raised me to be the same. Spent most of my life just living how I was raised before i realized how fucked it was. Turn 37 this year, spent about the last decade trying to undo the bullshittery he programmed into me. Raise your kids right, from the start. Undoing what you were raised into, raised to think, is seriously fucking hard.
>>76763141Not really. He was a team sports chad who despised me only ever doing fitness and not team sports.
>>76763141No, he is a smart and rich fatty. Bit of a nepo baby as well. Never had to put any effort into attracting women since he always had money to pay for expensive night outs. Recently he married for the third time. I love him, but I had to put a lot more effort than him and he doesn't understand at all why I'm always so busy grinding life 24/7. Lucky bastard was born at the right moment and had everything given to him. It is what it is, not reason getting too annoyed over that.
>>76763247same. My dad is a boomer who came from a rich family. He never really had to work hard. He fucked around in his 20s and 30s. By the time he had a family, he used work (glorified hobby) as an excuse to not raise us
>>76763247>>76763454holy fuck, same pretty much.My father never worked out a single day in his live. not fat, but has a big beer belly, but only from eating bread lol.Had it easy in his 20's/30's. Worked in the family business, my grandfather spoiled him, gave him brand new cars, and gave him a house to raise his family in. In 2008 due to the crisis, he had to close down shop, and look for a job for the first time in his life. I feel like I grew up without a father figure, he was always gardening or fcking around in his tool shed. I learned nearly everything by myself, online.Poor guy had nothing to teach.
>>76763141>>76763157>>76763454>>76763602Do all Americans have shitty dads? Is this a thing?
>>76763141No. He was a construction engineer by day and rancher at night. He ensured I played sports year round and would coach/practice with me all the time.
>>76763784>Do all Americans have shitty dads?Don't pretend like the U.S. has a monopoly on shit dads, first post, not from U.S. shitbird.
>>76763141Yes. The reason I started training in the first place was to beat the fucking shit out of him.I thought he was extremely strong when I first started (I saw him lifting twice as much weight as me). Then I realized he was stuck at intermediate tier weights for like 11 years and surpassed him in 6 months.I fucking hate him and wish him the worst.
>>76763870Did you ever fight him? Or are you going to wait it out a little longer?
>>76763784Wait until you read the comments on videos of Bluey and how Bandit makes dads look bad.
>>76763141Once in a while, but he's older.He bought those Perfect Push-Ups years ago.He'll work out on machines in the garage and borrow a dumbbell and pull-up bar from me.
>>76763876>Did you ever fight him?Yes. It was very anticlimactic. I deliberately provoked a fight with one of the exact same reasons he beat me up for before I started training. Picked him up, slammed him into the ground, and that was it.
>>76763884>read the comments on videoslol
>>76763884As a parent, Bluey is fucking bullshit. Setting the most fucking unrealistic standards for both parents & children. And don't get me started on shilling the importance of imagination play, guess what, it fucking isn't. 99.9% of imagination play is asinine retardation that teaches absolutely nothing. Most of the time when you give kids an inch with that kind of play they take a mile and they don't politely listen with so little effort. The level of gentle parenting it slings is grade A horseshit that produces affluent little sociopaths that expect the world to bend to their will.
>>76763141My dad is the most undisciplined person I know.
>>76763247> he always had money to pay for expensive night outs. lol. Imagine typing this out. Betabucks.
>>76763141>Does your dad workout?Long dead now, but when he was younger he played 1st team football(soccer) and 1st team Cricket at a decent local level. Mind you he later became a depressed alcoholic that drank himself into an early grave.
>>76764970Did he get depressed when he saw you?
>>76764237Did you manage to develop discipline?
Lolno. But he spends money on a gym membership every few years when the doctor gives him a report that really scares him.
My father used to compete in triathlons when I was a kid.Jogged almost daily and is a proper cycle faggot.He's 66 now and still cycles a shitload. Goes away on cycling trips with friends or my mother. Extremely active and looks amazing for his age.So, yes. In a sense he works out.
>>76763784Nah my dad's the same and I'm a Eurofag, I'd honestly take my mom's last name if possible cuz her side's full of sporty people but that'd just seem gay
>>76763912I see you cannot imagine how imagination play can improve one's life down the line, kek.
>>76763784I'm >>76763602 from Portugal lol
>>76764970That doesn't answer the question of if he worked out. I doubt he lifted right>>76763891Was it cathartic?
>>76763141My dad had a crippling knee injury which sent him down a path of academia over athleticism. Im actually trying to tap back into the lost potential of athleticism through working out as im in my mid 30s now.
Nah he would get up for work at 5 come home at 4 and fall asleep until dinner then yell at me for sleeping past 7 on a Saturday. His heart sucks but he is 77 and only eats frozen burgers on white bread and is generally fine. Never once exercised outside of the Navy as far as I know and watches Newsmax 16 hours a day so basically zero movement since retiring at 65. Has the old man gut but isn't fat. Fitness is a meme lol
>>76765129He sounds absolutely idiotic.
>>76763784We have too many, but when you’re rich enough to lay down on a chaise lounge and talk about your feeling all day you might find some issues.
>>76763912Never seen someone take a hardline stance against imagination play. Can’t imagine the state this man is in.
>>76765176>can't imagineneither can he
>>76765119>That doesn't answer the question of if he worked out. I doubt he lifted rightNo I don't think he ever lifted at all.
>>76765129>Fitness is a meme lolBecause... your dad isn't literally dead? Wow yeah I guess I'll give it up.
>>76765200lol pretty much. No knee replacements, no hip replacements, back is fine. He can work in the yard no problem. Drugs definitely keep him alive but overall he is pretty good. Retarded boomer for sure but working out would have been of zero benefit to him his entire life. I really think that is the more typical scenario.I played several sports growing up plus endless street games, lots of bmx and skateboarding, started lifting seriously at like 16. Competed in powerlifting but wasn't any good or anything, 1200 total raw in the 198s. Hurt my back deadlifting and got into BJJ. Been doing that for 15 years. My knees are fucked, elbows hurt, low back is still fucked up. Have had one knee surgery and need another. 42 and I will definitely need knees in the future. Not sure which is better really but obviously prefer my path.
he looks just like metfw boomer mode
>>76763141>Does your dad workout?My dad was a plumber/gasfitter until he retired, which kept him fit and strong.When he hit 70 he asked me some questions around training and suddenly started walking daily, using an exercise bike he found on someone's curb and using dumbbells to do some curls and rows.He's 88 now.
>>76764995Yeah, I had to in order to survive really.
>>76763912you shouldn't be a parent, bit late now though i suppose
My dad was from the Bruce lee era so did bodyweight stuff and kickboxing/karate with his friendsHe tried to get me into martial arts but I just wanted to play videogames at the time
>>76763141Used to keep active wjen younger but ballooned into a fat slop manchild and did me no favors when raising me. Managed to deny and avoid his fat logic as a teen luckily.
>>76763247>He's smart>But also fat>But also a nepo faggot>But also divorced multiple timesThis is the joke, right?
>>76763784I'm the second poster and I am indeed American.
>>76763141my dad had is own construction company
He doesn't lift, but he started walking laps in the basement during covid and has kept it up since them. Hundreds of laps, almost every day.
>>76763141Sadly no and I wish he did.You’re a sorry excuse of a father if you’re a dyel and can’t set an example for your children. If you’re having a kid you gotta get jacked, period.
>>76763141I don't think he went to a gym in his whole life. he was always a skelly runner. a good one too. did some press ups and sit ups. that's it
>>76763157your work is actually still a good lesson . Even when you perceive your dad f* up , you still learned something from your dad
>>76763141My dad used to lift, and he's been skiing for most of his life. He's such a ski bum that we have a picture of me at roughly three years old taking my first lesson.He claims he had 18" arms when he met his wife a couple years after my parents divorced. She didn't even care, and he just stopped lifting kek My mom disputes his claim and says my 17" arms are bigger than his ever were.Now he pretty much just does tons of yardwork and adds some specific exercises in preparation for ski season. But he's in his sixties, so it's whatever. He's definitely slowing down, especially since he got hit by a young kid that lost control of his skis a couple of years back. Herniated a disk in his neck, but he recovered pretty well. Now it's just all the little tweaks that keep coming from the yard work. A hip here, a back muscle there... Man, watching your parents age really sucks.Praying he doesn't get himself killed on his new Ducati rocket ship.
>>76763141lol I thought it was Sam Hyde before zooming in
>>76766722It's be Sam Hyde if he actually worked out.
>>76763141Yeah. He had close to 1,800 lbs of weights probably. Him and all of his friends in the 80's and 90's. I think his max curl preacher was 220, he had said. He is a reliable person.
Used too. then became an alcoholic and a drug addict.
>>76765066Unless you're gonna be an artist or some kind, it doesn't, and I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. Besides that kind of shit the only thing it's good for is keeping yourself entertained. It shouldn't be the focus that Bluey expects it to be.>>76765176The state I'm in is being fed up with kids shows slinging bullshit family values that are wholly unrealistic & don't benefit the kids.>>76765693Oh yeah? Well my daughter is about to finish high school & has already been attending college for 2 years. She'll get her associates just months after. She also happens to be a talented artist. My 6 year old boy in the first grade read & does math several grades higher and is likely gonna be skipped ahead cause he's getting bored. He's got a profound interest in music. They're that way despite my "lack of imagine play" and you know why? Because you don't need to develop the imagination. Children are plenty good at that themselves. What YOU as the parent need to do is grow their minds, so their imagination has a level of intellect & sharp curiosity to work with. If you do nothing but play Bluey style games during your children's formative years, I guarantee you'll end up with a fucking retards that expect everyone to drop what their doing and entertain their stupid fantasies. If instead you give them the freedom to do that when they please, but during your time, use it to educate them about the world in fun & engaging ways, teach them real things, science/math/reading/music/etc, then you give their imagination more to work with. I never said I don't value the imagination. But the Bluey brand of imagination play is utterly fucking retarded.>>76766473Maybe but it's definitely left me bitter as hell, there were other screw ups along the way, we only talk through text now cause of it.
>>76763884Blueys Dad is is usually one of the better example of a dad in a TV show because he's generally competent and not a bumbling retard who can't do anything without the help of his wife. The only complaint I'd have about the show as a parent is that he is somehow able to always drop anything he's doing to entertain his kids all the tim which is usually not possible if you don't have unlimeted free time. But it is a fucking kids show about talking dogs and probably not a representation of real life so people should chil the fuck out about it.
>>76768635>The only complaint I'd have about the show as a parent is that he is somehow able to always drop anything he's doing to entertain his kids all the tim which is usually not possible if you don't have unlimeted free time.I've seen some point out that it's usually seven minutes out of the day.
>>76768588you need to get laid
He doesn't lift, but he's a runfag. Some time, in his 30s, he just decided he was going to git in shape and start running every day. Went from "I ran track in High School" to having a run streak that lasted over ten years and running Boston a couple times. Really impressive, and was honestly kinda gutting to see him end it (fucked up his hip and it wasn't getting any better.) That was a couple years ago, and he still runs a couple times a week, but has never tried streaking again.Another funny thing was he did all this with a busted ACL. Tore it playing soccer, and just never got around to having it repaired. On the other hand, my mom had a lot of health issues and was overweight (it went back and forth) and both of my sisters are the type that seem like they're a strong breeze away from breaking in half.
>>76763141My dad didn't really work out, but he was a former high school wrestler who worked a blue collar job and went on long walks with his dog, so he was pretty fit for his age.Probably came in handy when he got party van'd a few years ago. No real loss though. While he wasn't abusive towards me or anything, he basically did the bare minimum to support me and I had to learn most shit, including how to get fit, on my own.
>>76763141He did in high school and early 20s...>Played football, baseball, and wrestled>After highshool he started really getting into lifting and roids>It was the late 80s / early 90s so it was all about getting freaky big and lifting like a fucking retard in the gym>Stupid shit like doing 6 inch ROM, 150lb Incline dumbbell bench, 1000lb bullshit leg press, screaming leg curls, and the most ridiculous barbell curls imaginable>all things considered was like 260lbs, 6'1, and around 15ish percent body fat in his pics...actual bloatmaxxed>ended up working as a lineman throughout it all and took a pretty high fall right after getting married to my mom>fucked up one of his ankles something serious >brother and I were born>dad shot up to like 400lbs obese>arthritis on his side of the family >walking all fucked up on his bad ankle caused more problems for his other joints>he's currently got 1 fake knee, 2 fake hips, and both shoulders have been operated on>he lost like 75lbs to have the surgeries a decade ago>showed him what Dorian Yates has been up to recently a couple years ago>ended up dropping back down 230 as of this year>we go to 6am pilates class every saturday and then hit 45 minutes on the incline treadmill>it's chill, I'm proud of him
>>76769128>Probably came in handy when he got party van'd a few years agofuck does that mean
>>76770582Old people talk for getting caught by the FBI.
