That's garbage brother! I can't believe that there are fathers out there like that. My father was the complete opposite. He was extremely encouraging to both me and my sister. My parents were both athletes, mom held a few track and field record in Virginia high school and dad was a professional golfer, played at the U! I was small my whole life, but they encouraged me to be my best and never settle for anything less than what I wanted. Them encouraging me got me past the "you'll never make it" from the older kids as I was growing up. I was always being told I was too small, slow, not strong enough etc from them. Despite this, I had some others that were encouraging to me also. I was able to play professional baseball, while the kids who ragged me and said I'd never make anything never played college ball, and the ones that did, rode the bench.
Why did fathers back years ago put down their own children?? Nowadays the parent is usually the child's best friend!

It is a long story... My father is an alcoholic and was an excellent athlete. He played AAA ball for the Reds but missed the cut one spring training. He is bitter about it and always would blame my mother for not making the cut (no idea why...as a kid he would scream at her and blame her). Well he tried to live vicariously through my brother and me and would take credit for anything we achieved. As my brother I became more independent and excelled in sports he felt resentment for our accomplishments and any mistake we would make he would come down on us with hate.
My mother on the other hand supported our family and encouraged me to do whatever I had a passion for. She is in her late 50s and still runs marathons and recent won the overall women's at two races. Thankfully, she divorced him and the man she has been with for the past 4 years is more like a father than my biological father ever was.
What I learned from my father is how I will never treat my wife or children. But I thank him for giving me the determination to never settle for less than my best
"Dillion, you son of a bitch!" I knew I wanted arms that size
The first thing that changed me was when a little girl looked at me and said, "Look at that fat kid" when I was at a waterpark when i was younger.
That inspired me to get in shape and I lost a lot weight.
Next, was my father....not in the sense you would think... Multiple times, he said to me, "You are never going to be anything. You'll never be any good, you are a failure." The set me off to where I am now...
The insiration for bodybuilding came from meeting Jay Cutler. It neve crossed my mind until her said to me I can be something if I wanted to... At 17 I entered my first show and won...
Without a doubt it is Queefer.
After that Dorian Yates.
You know I still remember when I was 10 and some 12 year old preppy kid said "lay off the egg mcmuffins boy"...I sadly never ran into him after high school but I will never forget that haha.
