build muscleMy husband thinks it is cute that both of his grandsons want to build muscle in order to be like their pap. My husband is one of those naturally tall and big men with large muscles. He also does a lot of manual labor, which helps. He never really needed to try much in order to build muscle. We are actually using the desire our grandsons have to build muscle to encourage them to eat better. Like all children if left to their own devices our grandsons would shun fruit, vegetables and lean meat or fish in favor of candy and junk food. We tell the boys that they will never build muscle if they don’t eat their chicken breast, eggs or vegetables. This makes the boys think twice about what they are going to eat and encourages them to want to make the right choices.  The truth is that what we do will actually help our grandsons to build big, buff healthy bodies and be more attractive to the opposite sex when they are older so we do not feel bad about using these tactics to get them to eat well.
