World's Strongest Boy Sets Air Push-up Record

He's only five-years-old, but Giuliano Stroe has already set two world records ... and has a better set of abs than we are ever likely to achieve.

Dubbed the world's strongest boy, the muscle-bound lad has been training with his Romanian gymnast father since the age of two and can perform incredible physical stunts.

His latest feat saw him set a world record on an Italian TV show by doing 20 "air" push-ups -- that's where your legs don't touch the floor between lifts. Seriously, it's crazy, and this kid is five.

Last year the body-building youngster entered the record books by doing the fastest ever 30-foot hand walk with a weighted ball between his legs.

Dad Iulian, said: "He has been going to the gym with me ever since he was born.I always took him with me when I went training. But he's still only a child and if he gets tired or bored we go and play."

Keep reading to check out a video of Giuliano doing the "air" push-ups and other stunts.

Now Dad, since you have worked so hard to train the boy, who by the way probably has done what you can't even do, how about training yourself, and leaving the kids to be kids until they can choose for themselves what they want to do with their life. He's talented, I'll grant you that, and I might have even enjoyed watching him if the boy's facial expression had of ever changed even once. He's miserable, and you know it, but don't care because he gives you bragging rights. Shame on you!

Children love to get attention and will continue to do something that gets attention. I don't understand why so many people think this kind of training is mistreatment. Try growing up on a farm. You work from the time you can walk, but I guess that is wrong too. Teaching children discipline, good work ethic and exercise is almost never wrong. It is much better than sending them out to play all day until they get bored and join a gang for some excitement. It allows them to grow into well rounded adults with a good grasp on life. I bet you laugh when a 5 year old grabs his Dads beer, takes and drink, and then runs around and falls down. I know that is a much better lesson to teach.

Wow keep up the good work kiddo,here in America our kids can't even get off a couch unless there is food waiting at the other end. And they are waiting for Nintendo Wii to come out with a program so they can do air push ups too.

That is so sad! The poor little guy only looked on at his dad for approval...never smiled! Notice his dad never smiled UNTIL the child finished the "record" at hand. Even if he has some muscle issue that requires special excercising, he should be monitored by a Dr. or physical therapist to make sure no harm is being done to his developing body. And how sad that his dad has him say he is #1 at the end......what if he was number two? This sends an awful message to the boy. Its kids like this who commit suicide as teenagers because the only life they know is being #1, and being #2 makes them feel like a failure.
Give the kid a break, give him other choices, dont force him to give up his childhood your the parents to get some unwarranted attention for themselves......sad sad sad!

It's actually a Romanian show and he is a Romanian boy that used to live in Italy. Air-push-ups are by far one of the hardest to do in the world. And for that he should be admired but his dad is kinda using him for other reasons. And it makes you wonder

I was under ther impression that physicians believe that weight training and body building at too young of an age puts stress on forming bone structures in children and is harmful. Has this recomendation changed ? If not,why are people not upset by this parents behavior.

fyi, this kid has a muscle disorder in his genetics that allows him to do so. He still has to train but his disorder allows him to do all that crazy shit
