One day, Tate, then eight, tagged along, and when Brint stepped out of the gym for a moment, Tate approached a barbell loaded with 110 pounds. Brint and Gray often work out together, along with Gray's dad, Lonnie. Crucially, Gray and the Fegleys also trust Tate: to follow gym rules ("The one thing I've learned the most is never to bench heavy when someone's not around", Tate says), to let them know if he ever feels a pain or strain (as he did last summer, when he felt some tension in his hamstring - they worked around it for a few weeks), and to tell them if he ever loses interest. Tate's parents and Gray believe otherwise, so much so that Tate has become a sort of one-kid public experiment. [Extracted from the article]
