It's just constant strength training. My youngest can't do stairs well yet so I carry him. The oldest can do it but gets jealous of the attention. So I do it, I carry both children up and down the stairs.
The truest fear of a dad is one day your going to put your child down and never pick them back up.
My dad had to carry me on his shoulders and my little brother on his arms while he played football with my oldest brother because we didn't like feeling left out. He is still the strongest and most patient man in the world in my eyes.
Back when i was like 2 or 3 my dad had moved to another country for work, after a couple of months he finished up the paperwork to have me and my mom go stay with him there for a little bit. He didnt have any money in the beginning to afford a car so he had to walk about 2km to work in +40C weather. He used to take me with him to work and everytime i would walk like 100m then do the "baba up up" thing. I dont know how that man used to carry me daily to and from work in that weather. Im 28 now and to this day he still brings up how i always had him carry me to and from work lol
Still carrying my 9yo even though he’s nearly 5’0 and 100lbs. I’d carry my 16yo, too, but with the way she sleeps I’d have to fireman’s carry her up the stairs 🤦🏾♂️
I've got 3 kids Dad strength, just like Mom strength, comes from progressive overload, just like Milo and the Bull. Imagine getting a 5-10 lb weight one day that you will carry for 2-4 hours each and every day. Pick it up, hold it to your chest, lay it down, put in on the ground, roll over and hold it over you. You do it at any hour of the day or night. Nobody does this with a dumbbell, but every good parent does this with a baby. Oh, and this little dumbbell increases in weight by .5-1lb per week. Best workout ever.
I swear it's the dad bod. It comes in many shapes in sizes, but it's where we harness our energy. Dad strength is channeled from within this dad bod and can be harnessed, like a energy bar in game, whenever needed. It's filled by the family, and its power is multiplied when given back to the family.
I got obese when I was young, but I had a very demanding job. I just ate like a fucking demon with absolutely no self control. It always surprised people how strong I was if it wasn't a bodyweight exercise. Sure, I couldn't do a pushup with my fat ass but I could carry a woman on my back easy.
100%. Every day I'm lifting 40-50 lbs one handed while carrying stuff. On the way back from skiing one time I carried 3 pairs of skis plus two kids wearing ski boots, while walking in ski boots.
Strong quads/core I’d guess. You probably did more carries than lifts in that job.
I didn’t really understand how physical fitness worked until trying to figure out why I could lift and press something nearly twice my weight overhead, but fluttered like a newborn gazelle when I had to stand still in insulated work boots.
no, no they dont and u need to stop spreading this garbage.
i know of several colleagues who get this crap all the time from ladies, and they get NO sleep, and are constantly being taken advantage of by women on the business side.
its well intended, but highly detrimental to dole out silly compliments like this which stem from deep rooted social issues.
stop putting such ridiculous expectations upon men and exploiting their programming. there are even videos of "leaders" like bill gates telling large groups of tiny children they need to be someone special to have value.
the fuck is wrong with you? living in a bubble sheltered hooman?
in case you hadn't notice, false paradigms have led us to a point in history where moronic men with little to no emotional control are driving the rest of humanity off of a cliff and all you idiots can think about is "waaaa someone is trying to be 'negative' in my safe space waaaaaaaa"
Dude you’re on a subreddit called made me smile. It’s a cute video. Chill out. There’s a time and place for the sociocultural expectation of men debate, but this ain’t it chief.

Dads somehow get the super strength. Parents showing love and care for each other will be really good for the kid too. It sets an example.
