This one is always wanting to learn more about weight training. I remember being his age wanting more, but nobody to teach it to me. My other sons enjoy more active playing outside while this son enjoys more actual training indoor. To each his own. I’ve been enjoying my time here at home and being able to teach them a few things that they can work on when I’m out of town.
