Did anyone see this programe last night?

 

My god it cant be healthy & it looked awful

[Phil rr]

nup, summarise?

[Lisa]

Here you go phil, just for you, it was a documentary about this little lad.

 

 

CLICK ME PHIL!

[Leese]

I saw it, I think its really wrong. Did you see the bit when he was a toddler and they had him doing sit ups on the chair, must be funking up the poor little mites head

[Lisa]

yeh & with that huge weight too, I think his dad had him on steroids you know

 

& what was it they said his muscle fat was just under 1% or something & most people dye with 1%??

 

I hate parents that are pushy & clearly using the child to line their own pockets

[smittenkitten288]

There was something definitely odd about that. I know the kid enjoyed it and good to introduce health and fitness at young age and all that - but that poor kid lost his entire childhood. No child should have that sort of pressure - physically or mentally.

 

Was it just me...or did he seem surreally mature for his age though? I think that unsettled me more than anything else

[Lisa]

yes he did Helen, but in saying that the lad knew of nothing else, he had no childhood friends etc, its wrong, especially to push him the way he did & as for the mother & her ridducals stretching methods, that surely is no good for an infant, as babies bones etc are more flexable but the damamge it could cause in later life like osteoporosis etc

[Phil rr]

mind u..it wouldn't have got onto prime time national tv if it was "local kid goes to gym for second time"

[LiquidEyes]

I worry about any parents who have that sort of level of expectation from their child.

 

It makes you wonder if there's something lacking from their own lives if they feel the need to use & abuse somebody else for their own perverted sense of achievement.

 

"I want my kids (who don't exist yet) to have all the things I didn't have."

(Does anybody remember the sketch from Series 3 of The League of Gentlemen, with the posh parents taking their daughter's school concert rather too seriously...?)

[Guest]

OTT Muscle men really put me off. I don't see the attraction / turn on / sexual arousal.
