Son moved out, started lifting… now he’s huge. Not sure I like it.

My daughter prides herself on being very liberal but is dating someone just like the OP’s son to a T. I dislike his politics but he’s good looking and she seems happy with him.

This seems to be the classic “all-American jock” look nowadays and girls will forever be attracted to that.

225 is huge. Sorry he needs to slim down

I feel so sorry for these young men. For one thing, it looks gross and for another it is a type of body dysmorphia and sign of low self esteem.

I bet your son looks great, OP.

I think it’s fine as long as it doesn’t get unhealthy. It doesn’t sound like OPs son is using steroids but it’s something to be mindful of. It will get to the point where someone plateaus and you simply cannot get any bigger without an extreme diet and steroids and you have to know when to stop.

OP, you sound a little obsessed.

Yeah this isn't even a problem. You want him to stay permanently 18, not going to happen.

Also your son 100% voted Trump lol.

I dont think this is necessarily true. Weight lifting is a huge thing with the sporty kids and young men right now. They’re all doing it. Many are also taking creatine and other supplements. That part isn’t great but the lifting as a hobby isn’t tied to any political ideology, except that they are jocks or wannabe jocks. And it does seem that girls like it better.

Strength training has shown all kinds of health benefits, men and women. You people are very odd.

A lot of male fitness influencers are also MAGA which is why this happened and people are making the connection. Fitness is just popular now in general.

Pick a poison: Big and strong or big and fat

Just remind him to see his primary care physician yearly so his health is good, otherwise let it go. Its hard to take care of every minor detail of someone and then suddenly not having any say but you did a good job helping him become educated, employed and independent, your work is done, not its his ball and his court.

I feel more relaxed since mine got into a committed relationship. Now there is someone else interested in his wellbeing and I don't need to meddle.

A lot of male fitness influencers are also gay... and not Republican!

Fitness has been popular for a while, nothing to do with MAGA....
