Giuliano Stroe has six-pack abs before turning six years old. And he's also in the Guinness Book of World Records before he can probably even read it.

Though it's highly unusual (and possibly unhealthy) for a child to start weight training at such a young age, the pre-schooler entered the record books earlier this year after completing the fastest ever 10-meter walk with a weight ball between the legs, which is both both highly impressive and highly specific. Since then, a four-minute video of Stroe has hit the Internet and made him a viral sensation.

Strong little bugger!

I've learnt something from this. I always thought weight lifting for kids was dangerous - could stunt development due to growth plate injury. Apparently this is not so, as long as weight training is properly supervised.

Some parents push their kids. Some kids push themselves, just hafta do stuff like this. I know - my youngest daughter was an elite gymnast.

I bet he's a little handful of mischief ! Somehow I don't think he will suffer from kids bullying him at school, do you? :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl
