How was the fate of Giuliano Stroe — the youngest bodybuilder on the planet

All Internet users have seen photos of a little boy with an athletic physique that is not childish. His pictures went viral and were even stretched into memes. But few people know the name of the baby bodybuilder, although in Europe he is a real star. His name is Giuliano Stroe and he was born in Romania. Yes, now he is not a child at all, but an 18-year-old boy.

Giuliano became a celebrity at the age of 5, in 2009. He got into the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest bodybuilder in the world. To prove that he is the best, the boy walked 10 meters on his hands, holding a 15-kilogram fitness ball with his feet. For his peers, even the most athletic, it was an unattainable result.

At the age of 5, Giuliano was already an athlete with experience, because he started training at the age of 2. The boy's father, Julien Stroye, is a gymnast, so the kid always had a great example before his eyes. His father took Giuliano with him to the gym for training and the boy tried to repeat everything he did.

The Stroe family then lived in Florence, Italy, and it was there that Giuliano became famous. It is worth saying that the trick with the ball was not the only record of the boy. A little later, he surprised everyone again by doing push-ups 20 times. Would you say that this is quite a bit? But Giuliano was doing push-ups on his hands without using his legs! This wonderful child also had other achievements.

The amazing young talent was admired, but many considered his father almost a monster. Julien Stroye was accused of bullying his son, depriving him of his childhood and endangering his health. It was also said that the boy's dad made him a tool for making money. But he claimed that from infancy he instilled in the child a love of sports and Giuliano himself could not get out of the gym.

Looking at the training of the junior Ranks, I can readily believe it. The boy is simply glowing with happiness, demonstrating power tricks. And it is also known from interviews with the boy and his father that Giuliano was not deprived of anything. He drew, loved to watch cartoons and played with friends in the yard. Outside of the fitness club, he was just an ordinary boy.

Julian has a younger brother who started training with his father even earlier. At the age of five, he easily did a backflip and sat on the splits between the gymnastic rings. Now the brothers train together — they are fascinated not only by bodybuilding, but also boxing.

Giuliano Stroe is 18 years old and he trains hard in the boxing gym. The guy set a goal to become a world champion and we believe in him.

But Richard Sandrak, who was called the "strongest child" before the Formation, having grown up, stopped training.
