There was a thread last week about who inspires you. This is him. I wish I could take credit for his will, enthusiasm, and determination, but it comes from within. I think you can mold it, but not give it or teach it.. And you're right, I believe THIS is what will get him through life!Originally Posted by whatevergirl
This is incredible! He is so strong...wow!
I love his enthusiasm...and he's so great to watch! This is going to take him all through life...this positive attitude he shows.
You must be so proud of him! Thanks for sharing with us all.
Thanks again for all the replys. I'm gonna let him read them later. He's out being a kid in the neighborhood right now.

Here you go.
And, yeah, I know technically he isn't "warming up" with that 185 pound squat, but soon he will be. Regardless, this image (along with his deadlift one) will be floating around the web, inspiring many people.

I just can't believe the intensity. Awesome that he's found something he's so passionate about at 8 years old. Even more awesome for you that it happens to be the same passion you have.

That's outstanding, David. Not that it means anything, but Marius is pulling for him.
You're obviously doing a good job training him if he's squatting like that without hurting himself."Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." - Psalm 144:1

Thanks again guys for the compliments and support!
His intensity is obvious, as a lot of you have said. Other than school work, he is that passionate about everything... School work, eh, we gotta work on that a lil more....

I am not sure if you are aware, but that last one went everywhere. An old school mate of mine even called me from Canada and asked was that me in the background of a kid doing a DL.Originally Posted by snorkelman

I AM fortunate that we share this, and other interests. I started my 9th grade son lifting when he was in the 5th grade. He likes it, but I don't think he loves it as much as lil brother.Originally Posted by MrNismo
I also use his brother as an example when people "question" is it healthy. Devin is a 9th grader with 4 years of lifting, but lifts for football. He is 6'2" and weighs 250lbs. Squats 360, deads 350, and benches 260. SO MMUCH FOR STUNTING GROWTH!
By the way - Chandler told me yesterday he hoped his video would inspire other kids (especially bigger / overweight) to try it. Not so much to compete, but to know it is OK to lift and exercise...

Very nice, great form too. He can squat as much as me nearly!

Very solid and it's obvious he's got his Daddy's genes for strength. Noticed his right knee bending in when he squatted, though. No hate; just something I noticed when I saw the vid and then the picture with the caption that someone posted.

You're correct on this. We've been working to squat even and balanced, rather than favor one leg. It showed up at the 185 lift due to 1) weight and 2) he thought he HAD to go immediatley on the squat command. You'll notice he moved his feet as he began his descent.Originally Posted by GuyJin
