I know everybodys probably already heard about this kid, but I want to know what some people think.

12.5yrs old
100lbs
4'10"

yet this kid eats like an adult martial artist, has been weightlifing and practicing martial arts since he was a toddler. He can bench over 200lbs, and leg press over 400#. He is also coming out with a workout video for kids. He thinks kids need to spend more time working out and less time watching TV.

What do you think? Should people be raising their kids more like this? Did his parents push him too much, maybe kids should be allowed to be kids? I'm really at a loss that a kid so young is really so strong. By the time he's any of our ages, he will greatly surpass all of us. Opinions please.

yep he will be a devistating midget since he will probably not get much taller with all the stress on his growth plates.



But we will see. Steroids will probably kill him long before he's most of our ages

You guys really think he's taking steroids now? From what I read, (and he's been in everything) hes a naturally strong person. They have pictures of him from when hes like 4yrs old doing stretches on chairs. Also, this kid has been tested thousands of times for steroids and have yet to find a trace. True, he might not get much taller with his muscles being so strong they'll restrict his growth. What do you think? Is he so strong because he was born that way, or because he has been working on it since a toddler? If you cannot be pursuaded, just assume for a moment that this kid really has never taken any sort of steroids. Are there steroids that are undetectable by every test?

i read that he was just naturally born with a higher percentage of muscle mass than most people have, thats why he has always been strong and in shape, even since he was a toddler.

as for his growth, nobody knows for sure if lifting weights when u are young will stunt your growth. this has been debated for years, however there really is no clear answer. ive even heard that putting stress on growth plates and bones during youth is more likely to make them expand, wich might also be bs. there was also a study done a few years back that said kids who partake in sports and exercise at young ages are usually taller than their inactive counterparts.

i think exercise is great and essential for anyone, include kids. i mean, u dont have to have ur 6 year old start powerlifting, but exercise is needed. i think kids need exercise now more than ever, with all the obese kids fueling the obesity epidemic. u have kids who do nothing but sit on their asses playing video games and watching tv while their parents give them the worst foods to eat, so they just get fat and continue to live unhealthy lifestyles. not only that, but there are so many kids on the streets, who have nothing to do and nowere to go who end up getting in trouble. exercise and sports will give them an outlet, and help them become better people. they wont get fat, ugly and depressed with low self esteem from people making fun of them all the time. instead they will become in shape, gain confidence, and interact with others.

The Program E chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about Depending on your age you tend to max out in strength you do not continue to grow muscle at the same rate as when you first started. But I did not get that.That makes sense to me.
That is something I haven't heard of.What are your goals in life?

I dont think he does steroids, especially if they have never showed in a test. It is most likely that he was born with some sort of genetic mutation that increased protein synthesis. For those of you who are paranoid and dig all that conspiracy stuff, perhaps the reason he is so built is because of the growth hormones that have been used in some produce and livestock that either he or his mother digested large amounts of?

And why not? is most likely that he was born with some sort of genetic mutation that increased protein synthesis?

i watched a documentary on this kid...concerning steroids, they said something about his dad making his protein shakes for him and he might have been putting some "extra" stuff in them.

probably just some 19-nor, or andro or something...but you never know.
