How does your dad recommend you to train? Seems like guys who started in the 80s favor the ol brosplit.
And to answer the question, no. Most of my family is skinnyfat alcoholics. My mom swam competitively at a high level and she’s the only one who died young (55), go figure.
Something always felt "off" to me about Jean Claude. Anyone else get this?
he was a shitty actor who ironically moved very stiff
but he was a real karate champion
a good modern equivalent will be when connor mcgregor's shitty roadhouse movie comes out
Weird accent. He sounds like he's playing an American in an Asian movie.
My dad is an iron man triathlete, at one point he was one of the best in the world in his age group. He ended up needing a quadruple bypass and multiple eye surgeries and hasn't been the same since, although he still trains religiously. I'm basically running the opposite experiment: his heart blockages came after decades of endurance training and a low fat processed food diet, so I'm doing weight lifting and a diet rich in animal foods and virtually free of processed slop.
report back in 40 years anon gl
>dads 2 time national muay thai champ
>smoked like a chimney
>drank everyday
Very based. At what age did he stop fighting, I'm guessing 22? Has cancer taken him yet?

My parents (and most of my family) are fat but my grandpa supposedly could bench 3pl8 in his prime. And a cousin of his was a pro kickboxer so there might be some good genes floating around in my lineage.
Your dad is one hundred percent right, and my parents taught me that same lesson as well.
>dad was a lifter in the 80s
>told me he could bench 3 plates for reps but i doubt it
>told me to never do deadlifts because they're too dangerous
>recommended pyramid training
>told me to drink beer for gains
my parents were decent people who tried their best but were not the sort you look up to for any sort of inspiration or life guidance, i come from peasants
Father was amateur strongman. Always been 130kg muscle. He is 50 years old now, still working out heavy and still pulls mad weight. I was cursed with lesser height and thin body and coped by aiming for a beautiful body with thin waist v-taper when I realised I will never pull serious weight on the big three.
At least I have a full head of hair at 30 while he's balding since his late twenties and he often comments on how much he likes my hairstyles and how I should keep doing what I do cause I look great and not fat like him.
Dad was a fitgay Chad but divorced my mom when I was a toddler, barely ever saw him, but he had a home gym, and was very fit when younger, high achiever and very successful career, was also a judo teacher then got a slipped disk. I inherited his high IQ but grew up like a poorgay with my dysfunctional mom surrounded with other deadbeats while he was making it and he never gave a shit. What's the point of being alpha and making it if you're not gonna take care of your son? I hate his guts.
Every man in my family was an alcoholic who died on heart problems. I'm the only hope left for my bloodline.
Don't know my dad, my mom was overweight and smoked a lot. During the past two years she went from 84kg/185lbs to 66kg/145lbs (58kg/128lbs is her preffered weight) while quitting diets many times, but I never gave up and made her eat properly and go swimming at least once a week.
Around a year ago I've calculated she smoked 11 cigs per day, up to today we've lowered this number to 5, starting April it will be 4.
It's very hard to break one's habits.
>"anon, people aren't supposed to enjoy mealtime. You gotta eat to live not live to eat."
Your dad has an eating disorder.
>Discipline is a disorder
>He is broken and he must be fixed
I believe that if you delegate your happiness outside of your meals, you can live a ridiculously fruitful life.
Sometimes I wish post ID were a thing here, because you'd be a clear cut 1pbtid zoomie.
