A young man who has been consistent with his fitness routine decided to show off the results of his hard work by sending his mum a video of his gym gains, but her response wasn’t what he was expecting.
Instead of praising his broad chest and muscular arms, his mother expressed serious concerns about his look.
She complained that his arms were “too wide” and even shared a story of a man she saw on social media who used to go to the gym when he was younger, but now looked “haggard and old” for his age, allegedly as a result of excessively working out .
She then asked a question many people couldn’t stop laughing at: “How are you even going to find shirts that will fit your chest and arms? Or are you planning to be ordering custom-made shirts?”
As if that wasn’t enough, she added that she doesn’t think girls would be attracted to his body type, and eventually advised him to either quit working out altogether or limit it to once a week.
The conversation has since gone viral, with many people relating to how African mums always find a connecting story to back their claims up.
