DEERMAN 1,020 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I don't see it any different to Gymnastics , It don't show them lifting any weights just all body weight exercises, 2 hour a day ? whats the big deal with that ? I played every sport there was 7 days a week when i was a kid getting to International standard in one and county level in 2/3 others , i bet i put in 3 + hours a day doing everything for years and years ,then i joined the Paras and abused my body some more lol , im 46 now and trained hard since i was 12 ,had a few minor injury's but im still going strong ,just slower lol , Id be proud if i had 2 x sons like that ,better than being on a x -box all day like mine now lol Edited August 1, 2015 by DEERMAN 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,353 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I used to train the wee lads at football and it used to make me cringe when you would see tiny little tots turn up in big metal studs......there's no reason for it and it just shoots their little knees, ankles and shins to bits. There's such good moulded boots about now days that there is absolutely no reason to be putting young kids in metal studs. I little bit of thought gos a very long way, most kids would play football with a broken leg if you let them but you have to stop them! Hard as it is sometimes, I used to tell them "I'm not letting you play......your an important part of this team (even if they were shite) and I would rather you have a couple of hours rest and be able to help the team for all the other games than be out for the season" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Francie 6,368 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think gnash means certain exercises, are to much for kids, there bodies will be damaged in thelong run, but sports in general is good pal, gnash will correct me if iI'm wrong. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Deerman what sports did you do as a kid ??? And would you say they they were potentially detrimental to you if you didn't have good coaches as you were at a high level ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wales1234 5,546 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I played rugby since I was 6 and have played at all levels up to international and also was a sprinter for my county my old man would let me do push up sit ups and pulls up but I wasn't allowed to tough weights till I was 16 he was a strong believer in that ! He was a professional football player for 15 years aswell he's 51 now and he's probably still quicker and fitter than most half his age 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
