my 11 year old son's first strongman competition

[AZBodyZone]

My 11 year old son participated in his first ever strngth competition last month. he has watched me compete in strongman and powerlifting and is my #1 fan. He gets picked on for being small and not being very good at sports. He took first place and finished every event. He now has self confidence and cant wait to start bodybuilding and powerlifting. i have always been proud of him, but watching him compete and giving it everything he had did get me alittle choked up

Thats awesome!! Glad to see you have him active at a young age. SO many of today's youth are lazy and dont get off their ass.

Its also great what it will do for his self esteem its amazing how quick kids attitudes change once they see someone throw on a little muscle

Congrats. He's got big traps for a little fella! Pretty impressive for a 11 year old, wish I could have done that when I was 11 years.

Wish your son all the best for the future!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Its so great to see him with a new found love for training. He actually just deadlifted 145 for very impressive reps a couple of nights ago a BW of 65lbs. But the greatest thing in my eyes is seeing my son holding his head high and regaining self esteem. He is psyched for his next contest in april, i wish i had his drive when i was his age.

Great kid bro. What's even better is having someone positive to look up to..

You know, alot of kids dont have that these days..

That's awesome. My son is 10 and I can't seem to get him interested enough to compete. Well..... actually he wants to compete, he just doesn't want to train for it...lol. My daughter did a deadlift contest with me when she was 8 and set a state record and got a big trophy. She (as well as myself) was really excited.

Great job Dante!!!!!!!!!!
