Family full of normies, help /fit/izen 01/10/16 (Sun) 14:40:00 No.82720

Mates, short version of the story. I need help, my dear mother went bat shit crazy because she doesn't know shit about lifting and was scared when I said about deadlifting 80kg mild-easily and squatting 70kg mild-easily, saying things like snapping my fuck out of the world and normie shit, she supposedly did some something in her youth She was an athletic person but just in sports like surf and others, not lifting with weights but for 5 years and probably only light weight because she wasn't serious about getting stronger/wasn't aware of her potential. What can I do to convince her about me lifting correctly and what a decent progress looks like?

Move out, loser.

If you already live somewhere else, why care about her opinion?

Never try to convince anyone of anything.

You don't, you ignore her on the issue

Step your shit up and tell your mom to fuck off.

You have no family, friends or enemies in the gym, it's you and the iron.

Do the one right thing and abandon her, it's probably the best thing to abandon your entire family all together, I mean how are you going to leave humanity behind with a family to hold you back?

My dad did a similar thing. I'm losing weight now but I'm still a fat fuck and I do some light weight lifting stuff. Everytime my dad sees me with my barbell he starts talking about how "lifting is for skinny people". It really fucks your motivation when the people you think should be most supportive just tell you to give up.

Just wait till your out of uni, get some cash together and a your own place and buy all the weight training equipment you can.

You have plenty of arguments to use. Tell her that competitive weightlifting is one of the safest sports in terms of injuries and that football and volleyball are one of the most dangerous. Tell her that lifting, when done properly, strengthen the joints and bones and that even elders can lift heavy. If she keeps bitching, tell her to read Starting Strength.

I think she thinks she's charged by the letter or something. Plus its not a smartphone. She's tapping that shit in on the numberpad like I did back in highschool. When she started txting I made the decision to let the nigger txting style slide.
