Boy bodybuilder dubbed ‘world’s strongest child’ aged five is now all grown up – and his look is stunning fans
THE ‘world’s strongest boy’ has resurfaced as a teenager, showing fans he still fits the bill.
Italian-born Giuliano Stroe, 19, set a new Guinness World Record at just five years old for performing the highest number of extreme push-ups.
The year prior, in 2009, Giuliano achieved the fastest ten-metre hand walk with a weighted ball between his legs.
The young athlete and his brother Claudio received an immense amount of media attention at the time because of their curious strength.
It was suggested their father might be forcing them into an unhealthy fitness regime that might negatively impact them in the future, but those reports have so far amounted to nothing.
Now a grown man, Giuliano has returned to the spotlight.
He has racked up more than 391,000 followers on his TikTok account aptly named @i_m_the_strongest_child, to which he shares videos of him as a boy performing 90-degree push-ups without letting his feet touch the floor.
It would appear his greatest passion as a young man is boxing, though he briefly took a step back from training in 2017 due to alleged family controversy.
Doctors have indicated the intense weight-training he completed in his childhood left him with muscle and bone development issues.
Giuliano insists however that any impacts on his growth have not stopped him from enjoying his sporting life to the maximum.
Another child bodybuilder famous for his shredded physique looks totally different in photos from when he started crushing weights aged 15.
Tristyn Lee, now 20, has won an army of more than two million admirers on Instagram after sharing videos of his gym sessions.
He originally hoped clips of him showing off his impressive football skills at 15 would get the attention of scouts.
Instead, he was flooded with comments suggesting he should become a professional bodybuilder.
He transformed his body with a strict diet and training regime which he shares with his followers.
Years later, Tristyn is almost unrecognisable.
