A few years ago I was working out at a World's Gym in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. There was a guy in there I had seen around for a while. Tall and stout, you could tell he lifted but didn't have anything going for him "freak" wise. One day he brought his little boy in. By little I mean around 12 years old. I watched him push this poor kid on leg press, of all things, to the youngsters breaking point. It looked like he was going to cry but tried his heart out cause his dad wanted his form to be perfect and wanted him to give 110%.

So I have a couple questions and I wanted some insight from you guys that do and don't have kids. Why would a grown man push such a young kid to such a dangerous limit at a young age? For those that do have kids, did you expect them to follow in your passion? If they did or did not how did you feel? And for those who plan on having kids, would you be disappointed if they didn't follow the path to the big iron?

Please discuss I'm really curious about this.
