<< hes gonna be a midget. >>



thats what i think too.. when i was his age i was always told not lift weights or anything becuase my bones were still growing and it would mess me up later in life. I hope he ends up being okay.. but i doubt he will be.

No kidding, when I saw him on TV, I thought to myself "Those parents deserve to die". That poor kid will never enjoy his life, as his parents are shaping him into their little puppet. The always drag him around to get any publicity that he can get for them, and they always speak for him during interviews. In my opinion, that is a body without a soul. Who knows, in the society that we live in today, he'll probably bully some kid in a few years, and the kid will come back and shoot him, and that'll be the end of "The Incredible Hulk, Jr.". :(

I'm pretty sure he won't grow any taller. Early muscle development means that you pretty much stopped growing--other signs that you will stop growing are having facial hair. If you have a moustache at say, 6 years, there's a high chance you won't grow any more.

Oh, and about kicking my ass ...He may be very muscular, but I doubt he would even have a chance against someone about twice his height.

You saw how flexible he is! He could definitely reach his leg high enough to kick your ass! It would, however, be much easier just to bite it or punch it. ;)

That's really sad thouh. :( Poor kid.

Of course, those parents who give their children absolutely zero direction, discipline, or purpose in life usually give us violent criminals or lazy bumbs who are leaches off society with nothing to be proud of. The child prodigies at least usually make lots of money, pay lots of taxes, then commit suicide harming nobody else.

There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with that. It reminds me of the little girls who are in pageants all the time. When do they have time to be kids???

<< Those pics look a bit photoshopped to me. It seems that his head is a bit too big for his body in those images.

If it is real, it just isn't right.

<< hmm...how odd...his body color is AMAZINGLY different than his face color.. :\ >>


Actually if you ever looked into body building this is protan or some other tanning paint. Body builders use it to show more definition on stage. You paint it on with a brush. Alot of people won't paint their face because it is nasty smelling.

I'm pretty sure the pictures are real. Also pretty sure this should be a case for child abuse. His joints are going to be totally screwed. Probably end up with stunted growth and early onset arthritis.

His parents are giving him the gift that will just keep on giving. When he is a decrepit old man at 20 years of age.

Hate to see this.

whether or not some of the pics on the web site have been edited is one thing, but the kid is for real. i, too, saw him on howard stern a few months ago. not sure if he'll get all the babes when he gets older, but he could make some money doing conan the barbarian sequels.

yep, that kid is for reals. WAs in Newsweek, Time and in Reader's Digest (and tv too) . Of course, the kid may not grow to be tall, but he squats some insane number and more repetitions than even an adult bodybuilder (in percentage...like if bodybuilder squats 300lbs and weighs 180 and does it 50 times in row...kid could do like 100+ in a row in proporation to his weigh and ratio to weights...crazy)

This isn't fake.. it's real, he was on CNN last summer. His parents are athletes themselves (both gymnasts or martial artists or something), and they even have a doctor vouching for the safety of this. Personally, i don't think it's too healthy either... but the parents are hoping he'll be the next Van Damme (they said that in the interview i saw... his parents are also European immigrants).

And what makes you thing that he won't become a violent criminal, or one of the "lazy bumbs who are leaches off society with nothing to be proud of", because of the "discipline", "direction", and "purpose in life" that his parents are giving him?

Maybe, when you grow up and get some IQ points, you'll someday realize that discipline without love, respect, and self-discipline/self-control/self-restraint, is not discipline at all. Maybe you'll also realize that pushing your kids too hard, too fast, and into being something they're not, is not giving them direction. Maybe you'll soon realize that using your kids for your own personial gian is not giving them a purpose in life.

It's tragic that this kid's parents didn't, and the poor kid is going to end up paying the price for his parent's selfishness. It's even more tragic that there are far too many parents out there that are so self-centered that they contuniully put thier own desires above thier kid's needs.
