Son hates the gym

Don't blame your son, blame yourself. Children are the result of their upbringing. How much time did you spend with your boy? How much toxic female influence was there in his education? Did you do any sports with him when he was young?

This is difficult. I grew up with very little sports influence (I did soccer for a tiny bit, some baseball, much less than people who did real sports).
Never was even suggested to go to the gym.
My friend was the epitome of the high school athlete.
I go to the gym 6 days a week because I love it (and I'm a loser with no real hobbies) and he has gone into full skinnyfat, dangerously heading towards chubby since college.

Did he like the prostate exam?

>Nephew and I with 8 year age difference so he's like a little brother almost
>Seems to have followed a lot of the things I did growing up
>Is about to start high school
>Plays a lot of games on his Nintendo Switch
>Has gotten even fatter than when I was at my fattest
>Wants to do marching band instead of sports like I did (I learned football was way more fun when it was too late)
>I've tried encouraging him to check out his school's lifting club and to try exercising
>Says he has doesn't want to do any excercise and doesn't understand why it's a good thing
>His dad used to be a great soccer player in high school, but now is obese and can't hold a job or pay his bills

I am really worried he's not going to fully realize how much he needs to get his ass in gear before it's too late. I don't want him to experience high school as a fat no gf band kid. I've already done that and while I had plenty of good friends I know that it's kind of miserable. He's not even playing the Chad percussion he's playing the virgin baritone.

Marching band is incredible. If you work at it as if it were a sport it can VERY easily be more physically demanding than other sports. Not even counting the benefits of learning and/or practicing a musical instrument. Literally the best activity a person can do in HS

I got FIVE things to help big time user:
Also just for reference how old is he cause being pre- and intra-puberty plays a big role in these factors?

A few of these are multi-step but they should be among the most sure fire way to get him interested:

First and MOST FUCKING IMPORTANT:
>Get him on a Test boosting and libido boosting diet, subtly at first but if you have to get creative then do so.

The next two go hand in hand really well given Arnold was an action movie hero

>The first and most important for his overall masculinity, get him watching action movies with rippling muscled action heroes like Arnold and Stallone, Predator, Terminator, Rambo, ESPECIALLY the Rocky series,

>Find subtle ways to show him bodybuilding like old clips of Arnold or various action heroes he admires training with a pump, he will see how it's all done behind the scenes

These next two go hand in hand because He will understand the meaning of sexual tension and how other boys his age work towards and achieve success with the opposite sex:

>Get him to hang with other guys his age that are athletic, preferably chads, and even more preferably a cousin or family friend who will gladly guide him along, get him interested in sports and doing whatever is possible to try and get teen pussy

>Get him around (pretty) girls his age or older (cause when we we're all 9 and shit we had no problem droolin' over the 16 y/o hottie baby sitter's milkjugs) It's inevitable unless and (probably even if) they are absolute uggos that he will be extremely attracted to them

Those all work good together:

Another thing, if he does start trying to exercise, make sure he stretches and warms up properly, and executes everything with good form. If he fucks up his spine doing something wrong, it can destroy all his noobgains and make him a suicidal hormonal teen unable to be masculine

Just stress to him how fucked up (so and so) was by not developing right, fix his diet if can

You didn't answer the question. Did you actually take time out of your day to go to outdoor activities and encourage him to live an active life style through EXAMPLE or are you just a typical boomer retard who wants his son to be a certain way just by telling him so and not leading by example then getting butthurt and crying about millenials.

Idk I did marching band (drumline) and while I made some good friends and it kept me from getting too out of shape I think I would have been better off doing literally any sport for social and physical gains. I guess it sort of depends on the people involved though. If he starts lifting in the next couple years I'm sure he'll be fine I just want him to get the most out of his time. Maybe if they make him march tuba he'll get in shape.

Yeah it definitely depends, not sure what your group was like but the drumline was always off on their own doing their own thing, and they tended not to march as much as everyone else.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to detract from OP's point at all. Just saying marching band is fucking based and get absolutely get you fit and laid.

Man as long as he takes on board my work ethic at the gym (If you want it, do something about it). Then I don't care if he's not into the gym.

But my god if he starts getting fat I will nip that shit in the bud.

No, his mom dealt with him. She put him in art school for sculpting. Now he has a bunch of cartoon sculptures. I tried to get him into lifting, but he's very resilient.

>that guy with children who still posts on Jow Forums

you sound like a very weak father and a poor influencer on your sons decisions. You need to solve that first

I can squat 2pl8, I don't think I'm "weak"

Yeah so basically he was raised mostly by his mom and now you're upset he doesn't want to do the things you do. You absolute dumbfuck. If you want your son to look up to you and have you as a role model you need to be an active part of his life, leading by EXAMPLE by doing outdoor activities with him and encouraging and active lifestyle.

Instead you let your wife raise him because you were too busy to be a proper father. Typical boomer mindset, expect things from your children without actually doing anything to help or encourage them when they're young, then when they grow up they complain their children aren't X Y or Z.

Wew, that projection. You ok?

>That guy over 30 at the gym

You fucked up.

Idiot. You will have Grandchildren, and it's because of your weaknes. Your inability to properly raise your son will end your bloodline.

i hated just about everything my parents made me do growing up. piano, tennis, reading... i found the gym myself and loved it instantly. maybe i was just a rebelling kid but if my parents saved the money they spent on me they probaly would've retried by now and my life wouldn't be much different

Drumline really were chads.

He’ll be posting here in a couple years no worries

>we’ll take good care of him

True. People actually liked them playing at football games and they're the most Jow Forums from carrying around heavy instruments on their shoulders all day with sick calves.

Better not corrupt him with that gay shit I swer. Also he wouldn't like it here, because he got unlucky and got my half brother's manlet genes sadly.

Definitely feel you on boomers leading by their words and not actions. I have old boomer parents who had me late. They always wanted me to be good at sports, but never showed me how to become more athletic and they had no interest in sports themselves. Whenever I have kids I'll teach them how to be fit and help them learn to achieve goals and how to do that.

90% of the percussion in my HS band were the most spergiest of spergs, the other 10% were pretty cool tho.

Force him to go anyway. My parents forced me to do Piano even though I hated it as a kid, and now playing piano is the only time I can ever feel peace.
