Do you have an A** hole like this in your gym?

[tigerspawn]

Alpha male brings his 12yr old, 13yr old, and 15yr old sons into gym 5 times a week. He screams at them when they lift. He says things like “come on MF lift that weight”, “don’t be a ***** push the weight B****”. When they don’t make a lift he belittles them by calling them names and makes them stand in the corner between sets.

There is nothing wrong with pushing your children to be better at things. I don't know if I agree with his tactics, but at least he's being active in their lives.

I think 12-13 year olds should not be touching the weights!

I am not a father jet, but wouldn't be able to act to my children like that.

Being active in your kids life doesn't give you permission to be an asshole. His kids will probably grow up hating the gym or obsessing over it to the point of detriment in an effort to please their dad who they can probably never please.

agree.

[marcus300]

No don't have that in our gym, you have to be 18yrs old to use the weights.

[DCI]

Like marcus your not allowed into the gym here till 18 for free weights and sometimes 16 for machines in some gyms.

Don't understand why people would scream and shout at their kids like that, how is that incouragement at all

[lovbyts]

Sounds like this guy needs to meet a real alpha male who is like 2x his size and take him off to the side for a nice little talk to let him know next time he hears him yelling at his kids like that or using that language he is going to teach him what a pvssy really is in front of his kids and this is his 1 chance...

[Flagg]

I'm surprised, I thought most gyms were for over 18's only?

The guy needs knocked out!

[BG]

Kids are wimps today, it will do them some good !! I would help him yell at them, maybe spit on them

OP trains at the YMCA.

[Knockout_Power]

I only really know of one guy that does something similar but hes a cool dude otherwise... his son is older and going into University and wants to play football so he dogs him in the gym for the full session. But I guess thats the way you have to treat that situation

[oatmeal69]

You should start calling him a p**sy when he can't finish a set, etc. Power-trip A-Holes like that would self destruct if you embarrassed them in front of their kids.

[tigerspawn]

Since I have my son half the week every week it’s easier to go to family gym. Several people bring their kids in and work out with them. Owner’s wife believes that as long as the parents with them it’s okay. Owner and I agree with Marcus young kids should not be working out with weights.

That’s a different situation. That guy sounds like good guy that’s just trying to push his son. Guy I’m talking about is dick to everyone.

[cantstopkane]

Pretty f**ked up lol, should follow him to the parking lot and report his licence plate to social services. Had a friend whos dad was like this, he was a staff sgt in vietnam and he would literaly make his son drop and do floor exercises when he talked back go bad grades ecetera, even in wallmart or at school didnt mater where. My friend dosnt talk to his dad anymore and runs a "street pharmacy" bussiness, and has a part time job driving a limo as his tax cover. Lol he can still do 150-200 pushups strait tho without much effort

[tigerspawn]

People have said things to him about how he treats his kids but he tells them to mind their own business. Arguments have broken out and I thought it was going to come to blows but it never does. The Douche bag is a state trooper and when threatened he says “you can’t hit a police officer”.

no, not acceptable in the slightest. He has no place in the gym, neither does someone sub-14/15ish on the weigh room floor. Cardio and calisthenics are ok for younger teens, but not loading up their delicate joints with excessive weights

You should find out some names of cops who have been shot who are local and say Yeah that's what so and so use to say also, can't touch me...

I wouldn't put this scum bag in same catagory as heros that have died in line of duty. He is a coward that picks on those weaker and smaller thanhimself. Its only matter of time before he gets fired from his job and then he will taste reality.

[Honkey_Kong]

Do you have kids?

Not yet, but I did grow up in a home where neither of my parents ever even remotely cared about what my siblings and I were ever doing so long as it didn't annoy them. You can fault this guy for forcing his kids to do stuff they're probably not ready to do and call him an asshole, but at least he's there with his kids being active in their lives trying to shape them in to something.

Like I said, I don't agree with his tactics, but he's at least there trying to push kids towards excelling at something.

I think it's one of those things we might have to see 1st hand to really know if he is being extreme or not. Considering some of the examples given I would have to go with the side of caution and say they guy is being a douche since other members have tried talking to him and he tells them to get loss and says since he is a cop he cant be touched. Sounds like a power trip to me and someone in need of a attitude adjustment although I doubt it would help.

People who have an attitude like that in public are typically a lot worse and physically abusive in private.

Another cop and three prison guards talked to him and he quickly turned aggressive and started threatening. The calmer they remained the more pissed off he got. He hasn’t brought his kids in since they talked to him.

I agree with you if someone is a dick in public they are 100 times worse in private. When I Google this guy’s name it shows that he has eight domestic battery cases and 20 other arrest. I have no idea how he can still be police officer.

[oatmeal69]

If it's really that bad, I think you need to call social services. Tell them specifically what you've seen, and know about his violent record. Be sure to also remind them that it's not healthy for children to be doing what he's forcing them to do.

A beat down might not help but sure would feel good!

^^ yea agree. The gym, the people dressed, the aggression and the weights on racks is no place for KIDS. It can be dangerous. Kids under he age of 10-11 were not able to go out on the floor at my gym when I had mine. You ever see a little guy try to pick up a dumbbell and couldn't hold on and dropped that thing on his toe. ...crazy mike

He has been reported to DCFS all cases were "unfounded".

[oatmeal69]

I think it's probably hard for police, social services, etc. to do something unless they actually witness a crime. It may take a lot of those kinds of reports from different people and places for an agency to be able to move in other ways.

[>Good Luck<]

I though this was a joke when I first read it... Pretty pathetic and I wouldn't mind spending a few in the rebar hotel to kick the shit out of a bastard like that. Makes me sick. I knew he was a puke when he showed up in the tbol thread talking down to everyone... What a puke

[gearbox]

Agree totally. Guys a dick and can't always use that trooper BS to protect his pvssy self.

[Misery13]

You have to be 14 to train at the gym I go to. 16 to train at the gyms on base. My sons have always followed me around and they want to train. I help them workout a little bit a few days a week with functional fitness, but nothing that with hinder their development.

A**hole hasn’t been at the gym for quite a while. State police came in Tuesday and set up home interviews with people who know him. They stated that investigator from spring field has been checking into this guy’s back ground. They stated that he is on suspension until conclusion of investigation. They informed us that Anthony pulled over a Lexus with three African American males from Chicago and his camera went out before he exited car. Individuals he pulled over reported that they were harassed and physically assaulted. They stated that he handcuffed them put them in patrol car took them into the country and ruffed them up. He informed them that they were not welcome in this county. Then he uncuffed them and left them there. Each individual who reported assault had bruises consistant with their report. He never issued any warnings or tickets. State police stated that investigator showed proof that this is third report of this type that they have received. Investigator was concerned about white supremacy art on Anthony’s Facebook. I guess Anthony has several Nazi tattoos and they can be seen while he is posing. There are several pictures taken with other individuals that have similar tats. State police stated that if he ends up being cleared of all charges that he will be on suspension until he gets rid of tats.

Isn't this what tiger woods dad did to him? This is how perfection is bread. My dad use to push me hard when i was playing cricket.
