Feeling unmotivated? How does being beaten by a 5-year-old sound?

Oh, another kid from a third world country with that stupid muscle disorder that makes him really ripped at a young age...

I am so impressed! Not.

Has there been anything done on these Eastern European kids that start out like this when they are adults? I bet it isn't pretty.

I don't think it's a muscle disorder - he's been bodybuilding since he was 2 years old and he's 9 now, which means he has 7 years of experience:

I've heard that bodybuilding is bad for kids long-term; are there any scientific studies out there that actually prove that, or is it just a rumor? I mean, there are plenty of kids who grow up on farms or start playing intense sports like football at a pretty young age. The NYT has a pretty good article about the benefits of weight training for kids:

It seems that the negatives associated with lifting weights as a child are pretty much all anecdotal.

is this what being always nice is...attacking children?

you may say you don't care...hmmm.....well I don't have to care about yours or anybody else's opinion..

The ortho told my then 12 year old to start lifting if he wanted to. Said he'd put 3 times his body weight on his joints jumping off playground equipment. He's not going to be lifting 3 times his body weight any time soon.

This.

The kid isn't a bodybuilder. He is a Gymnast. No muscle disorder. Just years and years of training.

That's fine and dandy....but when/if he gains any kind of body mass, his wrists are going to feel the burn. If he could do that, weighed what I do(230), and had my height, I'd be impressed.

Are you guys sure this kid isn't like Little Hercules and the rest of the people that have a Myostatin deficiency? I can't view the youtube videos.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any muscle disorders or anything. Him and his brother have just trained for years. Their father is a gymnastics coach and they have made a decent living from their ability to be freakishly strong.

They will get bigger when they get older but they probably won't weigh more than 185lbs and definitely not anywhere near 230lbs.

It's rare for a person of their level of ability to get too big as you just can't be strong enough to do the amount of reps they can do. The guys that are very good at this sort of stuff are also relatively light. You may get the odd bodybuilder doing a planche/ planche push ups but NEVER to the same number of reps as these kids can.
