I thought that I started young, at 12. This is a 4 year old boy and that is way too young to push the weights. Oh well

Looks like the father is going to end up with a little person or what they used to be referred to as midgets. I really do not agree with this at all.

Make Muscle, Not War!

My somewhat different POV from having trained and trained w/ my son since he was 10. Our first visit to the gym together was at his request. His motivation was apparently "to be like Hulk Hogan and the WWF wrestlers" that he saw on TV; at least that is what he said in an early TV interview of his own---me having owned Golds apparently had nothing to do w/ it.
Long story short, he loved lifting---as much as anything I suspect for the positive reinforcement of lifting heavier and heavier weights. The heavy lifting didn't hurt him. [He was doing sets of leg presses (Cibex) w/ 1600#'s at age 12.] He went on to become a 5-time All-American in the shot and discus---along the way, he was a National Merit Scholar and Stanford graduate. He's happy.
We looked at going to the gym together much the same way many fathers and sons go fishing; the activity was the matrix for a close relationship.

Watching this does worry me a bit... but I wonder if it's really much different from a 4 year old going to karate lessons, swimming, etc. In both cases it's the parents' instigating the activity. The kid may grow up, enjoy it and carry on doing it. Or he might grow tired of it and stop, much in the way that I did with tennis and swimming lessons.
I guess the only real problem I have is with how stressful that looks to someone so young. I also wouldn't like to see the same kid swimming length after length of a pool until he became fatigued either.
Also is the kid actually only 4? Didn't see that figure anywhere on the link yet.
==edit==
Just spotted the '4 years old' notice on the bottom of the actual video near the start. Was slightly obscured by an overlay that popped up at the same time.

Either he has a hormonal problem or he is on drugs.
Remember a few years ago there was that 12 year old kid whose parent put him on drugs and got him hypermuscular?

Very sad.
A boy at that age will do anything to get the aprouval and love of his dad.
Obviously the father do this for his own ego not for his child's own good.
When I was young we would say in the school yard: "My father is stronger than yours"
Now it's: My son is stronger than yours.
Pathetic !

Well Said Alex.
Too many people try to make their children into what they themselves never were.

Um, that's not too specific an achievement, is it?
Maybe I could set a record for the highest stack of coverless 1978 bodybuilding magazines on a countertop made of speckled off-white formica?
