It's so old he has probably had 4 heart surgeries by now... (Major, ultra ultra mega mega rheaphost from way back)

pretty f-ed up if you ask me.

I can't see how this could be healthy for a little boy...all that additional stress put on his growing bones/muscles/ligaments can't be a good thing.

Also, aside from the physical negatives, what about the pressures of being a "spokesmodel" at eight years old? You're gonna tell me he's gonna be normal, mentally? I guess he'll develop into another "star child" like MaryKate and Ashley or Gary Coleman (how's that for a matchup? )

I don't think it's a good idea for him to be doing this and I think his parents are cashing in on this kids obvious physical abilities. On a side note...I think I'm afraid of this little kid. :Q

 

[chickendinner]

That was strange.

This kid was on Howard Stern awhile ago.

 

[Scuttle]

He was on TV a while ago here as well, on Ruby Wax methinks. I think it's wrong and somewhat sick...plus the idea that an 8 year old could take me out I find unnerving.

Sure, when he's 18 or something, I've no problems...but on TV it seemed as if all he ever did was work out which is NOT a healthy thing for an 8 y/o to do.

I wonder if the extra stress it puts on the body is as bad as that of not doing any physical work (playing soccer etc)...?

That kid's going to be the same height for the rest of his life.

[keystroker]

hes just really toned not huge mass of muscle if you ask me.

 

[js1973]

I could take him. Wuss.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

OK if you're afraid he can take you, remember you have a big advantage. You've got better reach and he is a kid. You slap him once and he'll start crying.

 

[joohang]

Holy sh*t! :Q

 

[Supermercado]

That's disturbing.

 

[StageLeft]

Kid is a screwup.

 

[CasioTech]

didn't it say that he benches like 90 lbs? that's probably more than me

 

[John]

I remember seeing him on Ripley's a year or two ago. Interesting kid....

 

[narzy]

he's nine. and fugly but if he likes it, good for him. his parents are using him as a marketing tool tho.
(maybe he's 10 now, I can't remember. anyway if you do a search for him on google you'll find his website)
