Great Workout Partner!
School’s out and my grandson who just graduated and was All Conference Football and Baseball is now my steady workout partner. He "warms up" with what I max, but that’s ok. He finally understands the difference between being 18 and 62…I think..lol..but he is great in that I have a spotter and that helps me push a little higher without fear of becoming permanently trapped with a bar across my chest. I also push myself harder with him present. Can’t let him think I’m a total "wuss".. He’s even showing an interest in bodybuilding along with just power lifting. I believe he would be a good one and starting young would be the best way…If you read my name in the "obit column" soon, you’ll know I died in the gym…lol..At least he’ll make a good "Pall Bearer"..lol

You are a big inspiration to me. I can’t see him thinking you’re a wuss………but that you’re an awesome example. I hope that one day when they’re teens, my girls will ask "Daddy, can we go to the gym with you? (I’ll be in my mid-late 50’s)". How cool is that? Working out & being an example to to instill healthy habits in the next generation?

Getting to workout with your Grandson has got to be great and I know he feels the same way. Keep working out HARD and enjoy the times your spending together..memories for him forever.
