I just wanted to post this up here for comments.
This boy is 5 years old.
Now I watched the documentary about Liam Hoekstra "The Strongest Toddler in the World" recently.
Liam has a myostatin condition of which he is one of only a 2 documented cases in the world. So we are talking more than just extremely rare here.
Apparently his condition gives him 30% more muscle mass than a normal person and extraordinary strength.
In this documentary Liam astounded doctors by managing to do a pull up and hold a one handed push up static position.
Now just to compare him with this Romanian boy Giuliano. Giuliano is doing sets of 30 planche into handstand pushups. And Giuliano is way more muscular than Liam.
So I just wanted opinions on, how is this possible. We are talking about a 5 year old here. Just out of interest Giuliano has a 3 year old brother Claudio who can also do the same planche into handstand pushups!

How is this possible?
Is it just pure natural talent, I mean seriously how many hours of training can a 3 year old have put into building that strength.
Maybe Giuliano and Claudio have myostatin disorder also? Maybe this condition is more common than just 2 people in the world. Perhaps there are other little superchildren all over the world (In China etc) with so called myostatin disorder.
Is it possible for a normal 3 year old to be able to these things, even with training? I mean I have a 3 year old, a 5 year old and a 7 year old. And I really cant imagine that my 3 year old would be able to do planche pushups even if she trained 6 hours every day for the next 12 months. Although perhaps I'm wrong, and every child has more natural potential than we realise.
Hoping for comments and opinions from others on this.
