lift more weight, get bigger, then pound the crap out of em.
 
just deal with it man. that's what I did. no amount of scientific backing or logical reasoning will override their concerns for their little Stephen (I imagine that's your name). Just let them know you are being careful and approaching your nutrition and training in an intelligent manner and that this is a healthy hobby that is teaching you self discipline.

Then cry me a river, saddlebags.

Communicate with your parents how much lifting as well as the lifestyle means to you, how eversince you've lifted you feel stronger, feel better - more confident, how it has boosted your self-esteem and increased your positive outlook on life. How people have been recognizing this positively and it has change your outlook on life. You are now loving life, you are tuning into life much more and also how as a result of this you have been getting better grades also ( :rolleyes: )

Now, if they love you they ought to accept that.

ok my name is Lee, to be honest my dad is really kl with it in fact he got me a bench, boxing bag, and tons of weights... but he left years ago... and i never see him... and at the moment im staying with my gran+grandad who other thn this problem we r getting on great...i feel tht because they r older they might not see weights in the same way as younger ppl i dont know....
 
My parents did the same thing to me. Just because it wasn't important to them they thought it shouldn't be important to me. Smile and ignore them.

Now that I've built this fabulous temple of a body I'm getting laid left and right, so it was all worth it.















(ok ok, so I made that last part up)

Is it genuinely a major problem or is it just normal parental concern?

well that's just not cool. sit them down and tell them what I posted before and what growth&courage posted. if they do not respond to maturity and intellect, then you have to decide if this is a battle worth fighting. IMO, them throwing things out that you own is just wrong.

Is your sister hot?

That's just not smart. Also, please stop saying "doing" weights. Say "lifting" or "training". Sorry, it just irks me.

no worries. like I said, try and talk to them in a mature manner and present all the benefits of what you are doing as well as the precautions against injury that you are taking and see what they say. If they are like most parents, they probably look at protein powder as a stepping stone to roids too. :rolleyes:
 
I didn't know guys go through this too. My mom did that to me when I was a teenager, she thought I would become a butch truck driver and wind up a spinster (because no man wants a girl with muscles!). Unfortunately, I stopped lifting.

You're not doing anything wrong. Keep lifting and enjoy every minute of it.

thnks for tht... atleast u can understand how much it pisses u off when u say cya im off to the gym and every time they r like " again u went yesterday u dont think u have done enough ??!! "
 
here is what I did,I dont reccomend this though if you cant handle the consequences if your parents are very strict.

everytime they would say something I would just point out a phyiscal flaw in them,or tell them something I could do that they cant due to their low physical activity level. the first few times I got a smack in the mouth,but they eventually started respecting me for standing up for myself

Sounds like it's time to "Buck Up" and move the hell out!

Not trying to be an ass (though it's one of my specialties) but your 19 for pete's sake! Move your ass out of there and quit bitching about grammy and gramps cramping your style.

If you hava a job and a car there's no reason to keep sponging off the old folks! I'm sure you love them and they love you but that will change if you don't get the hell out of there, trust me!

Tiny...ask them..would they rather you be addicted to drugs/alcohol and hanging out at the bar eveynight...or doing something that is good for your body? If my only problem was that my 19 yr old son was hanging at the gym I would be a happy mom!

Talk your grand dad into lifting. Get him jacked up.

YO!

Find several short articles on the advantages of lifting too and share those with them.

U think tht is to do with my age ??? or just because of my parents???

Parents are weird.

I can totally relate and there is nothing you can do about changing them but to go on with your life.

Maybe you could try and educate them in a passive manner and leave them books or information on anatomy, fitness, nutrition and weight training.
 
So, it's your grandparents + mother who are giving you a hard time??

You didn't say how old your mom is, but their "fear" of you working out could just be a generational thing. A lot of the older crowd -- like grandparents age -- didn't "work out" so to them it's bizarre. Explain to them rationally the health benefits, especially if you know someone "older" with health problems that you wish to avoid.

sorry i never said my mom is dead, she died of cancer like 10 years ago. but i think the idea of lifting with my grandad wont work because i tried it 1nce then he went crazy and shouted at me when he found out how heavy i was benching on my own, which is true it can be deadly..so now i mostly get a m8 round to help out... so he refuses now to cum up to my weight room, because he said he wouldget angry again !! but if and when i see my dad i can spend hours in the gym with him. but he lives hours away and i have not passed my test yet !!! failed 2ce,

Well, then, if it's your grandparents throwing a fit -- look @ it from their standpoint. How old are they?? People their age, if they are in their 60s or 70s, didn't "work out" but they worked hard. They had to walk to school, 5 miles, each way, barefoot, in 2 feet of snow, etc etc.....So what you're doing is alien to them.

As long as they don't "forbid" you lifting, just dismiss their arguments....

ok i think there about 70, so yeah pritty old but still make a good supper for me lol !! and well yeah i think its pritty much impossible to forbid me to stop me doing weights... and they know tht , i would just like a little confidence comming off of them , just to say hey look u looking pritty good, or even ask me what im lifting now , u know . but hey i will just have to ignore it i sapose . but i still might just say something to them..... who said they thing about giveing them some info on the benifits of weights any web sites tht i could print shit off of to show them the benifits of lifting ??
 
Get a membership at at gym. They will not see you work out then!
If that doesn't work. Get a gun and just sit around the house cleaning it all day. Every once in a while when your grandparents are in the room mention how it is "almost time" and then don't answer anything they say.
If that doesn't work. Let them catch you masturbating all the time. I don't know if that will help but damnit its funny!

My whole family flipped out after I saw them after my first cycle. It was around Christmas time. I hadn't seen most of them for a year or so. I was always a scrawny kid. I put on around 60lbs over that year. I completely changed my diet, hits the weights harder than ever and ran my first cycle. I was now bigger than 95% of my family. They all freaked out and said stuff like "Now get any bigger, you are already big enough". My cousins all thought it was sweet, but the old aunties and uncles were completely in shock. They have gotten over it now after another couple years and accept it as my new lifestyle.
 
bro my friend is going threw the same thing... hes 21 in college but lives wit them so he dont have to pay rent and shit... he cant have his friends over the lift wit him or have n e protein or supps at all... sux ass just tell them your going to do it if they want you to or now... plus im taking it they havnt really ever let u do what u really wanted to throw that in their face... make them feel like shit... but dotn get kicked out... lol peace

Oh man, your parents are tripping, you look fit, not disgustingly huge
 
Maybe the problem your parents are having is not so much with how you look, but maybe with how much time you spend in the gym? Maybe they see it as an unhealthy obsession?

dee nay wurry aboot it wee man........old people like to whinge and moan it gives them something to live for you know

if you're living under their roof then you'll have to put up with that but im sure you'll be able to make them understand that it's a healthy pastime rather than something for them to be concerned about.........reading your quote though I'm wondering if their concern has more to do with your fathers past history than you?

if you stop flexing in every reflective surface you pass they might stop viewing it as an obsession ;)
