This little sucker, Giuliano, is 5 years-old. His dad pushes him like a boxer on the road to redemption. They say he is the strongest kid in the world and has Guinness World records, but probably won’t learn to spell his name until the age of 10:
That’s because Giuliano is entered in a highly improbable category for a kindergartner: Hand walking. The little guy holds the world record — 10 meters (or 33 feet) for walking on his hands. Forgot to mention: With a weight ball between his legs. But we wanted to hear from a grown-up in that family. We talked to Giuliano’s father and coach, Iulian Stroe to ask why he’s training his 5-year-old like a Navy SEAL. He told us… … that there isn’t anything excessive about his son’s workout routine and that people misjudge him and his young son. “It’s not wrong what we do, because I did the same things [when] I was a little boy and I am healthy and strong,” Stroe wrote in an e-mail. He doesn’t pay much attention to critics who don’t know anything about him or his son. “They say these things because they are lazy people. They find motivation in not doing sport.” That isn’t Giuliano’s only claim to fame. These days, the Romanian-born gymnastic prodigy is a YouTube sensation with the little guy showing off his washboard abs and an array of scary tricks in more than 60 videos. As of this morning, one of those videos– that shows Giuliano doing back flips off a kitchen table — has been watched an astonishing 4.2 million times. Stroe lives with his family in Italy; he coaches his son five days a week, with sessions lasting three hours. Giuliano has a 3-year-old workout partner, his younger brother, Claudio.
Is it OK to start pushing a prodigy that toughly at five? Poor thang.

Knotty-ass muscles on a 5 year old kindergartner.
The father is building him like the monster Frankenstein.
Damn, I thought parents were supposed to take care of their children. Not breed them to be meal tickets for themselves. Are you listening Joe Jackson, Jon and Kate and other knuckle-heads stage moms and dads out there. They need to stop exploiting their kids because they’re too lazy to work.
mz.cee ♥ 10/30/09, 10:12:AM
@ls
Exact what I thought – they had to use 5cent for this foolery! LOL
Old Timer 10/30/09, 10:14:AM
I bet his father have him on some kind of steroids or growth hormones or something.
His little nuts will be shriveled up before he even gets to use them. So sad and SMH….

Strenuous exercise puts a lot of stress on an adult’s body. Just think what it does to the fragile bones, muscles and joints of a small childs body.
This kid is going to have stunted growth, premature arthritis, and heart problems in his twenties.
This is child abuse.
Moreaces 10/30/09, 11:25:AM
This story is sooooo old,,any Ill go back and read what you posted anyway
Cant stand hatin a$$ ninjas 10/30/09, 11:39:AM
Thats the problem with most people today. we so busy letting our kids play around and not helping/pushing them to study or do anything productive and when we see parents like the little boy in the video helping their kids excel at something they like doing we immediately scream child abuse. clearly we do not see this boy crying about having to train or not wanting to do it. If you look at his face he looks like he’s doing something he loves doing without getting in trouble for doing it. The boy’s father should be parent of the year.
Get it Regulated 10/30/09, 11:40:AM
You remember the other kid that used to come on back in the day as The World’s Strongest Boy and then they found out that “the special drink” his father used to whip up special just for him was 2 raw eggs, 5 ounces human growth hormone, a pinch of steroids and two tea spoons of methamphetamine?
Everybody but me is going to be soooo shocked when they find out this is the exact same thing going on here.
Rihanna's sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath 10/30/09, 11:44:AM
this is child abuse. these parents need to STOP LIVING, VICARIOUSLY, THROUGH THEIR CHILDREN!

wait til this kid becomes a teenager and starts rebelling against the ol man, he’ll end up with a broken jaw and regretting every minute he made that kid exercise
holla 10/30/09, 12:05:PM
lmao, this aint abuse. Its complex tho because at this age your muscles and all that is still developing but from what i can remember is that working out too early stunts your growth. Some people say its a myth and other say yes it can happen UNLESS you’re properly trained but bodybuilding from early isnt bad. He’s a kid with what to do? 3 hrs a day isnt bad because exercise is key and healthy eating. Lol @ strenous exercise, i get what you’re trying to say but that’s like saying bodybuilders shouldnt work out either. Yes he is a kid but once he isnt lifting stuff too heavy to give himself hernia then he’d be ok. Kids have alot of energy so they tend to take that on well. Wont say parent of the year because im lazy tho i started gym a few months ago but its nice to keep your kids fit rather than feeding them popeyes’s and mc donald and all that greasy stuff

I think it’s good, he is SPENDING TIME WITH HIS SONS TRAINING THEM IN THE ART OF SELF CONTROL. Stupid fat Americans think its neglect because they aren’t sitting around playing damn WII. It’d be better if he was teaching his boys grind on girls right? Idiots.

ALOVE 10/30/09, 02:18:PM
I think that this is amazing. Why is everyone being so negative? This just does not seem normal to us, because we do not teach our children to be active at all. He will be great at whatever he does, because he is already on the right path. It is also good that this father is spending time with his son, which some men here in the states seems to be allergic too. Also was the father suppose to show his son doing those moves, and then turn around and show video of him teaching him his ABC’s?…….
makes no damn sense.. 10/30/09, 02:30:PM
That kid gonna probably just grow to 5ft tall…strained muscles hence stunted growth.
Choco 10/30/09, 02:43:PM
I think it’s a blessing for this child it is teaching him discipline, focus and reward for hard work as good as he can hold his weight as a gymnast the work out does not appear to be that grueling this 5 year possess more willpower than a lot of grown folks…May God continue to bless him…
