A nine-year-old bodybuilder dubbed the \u2018world\u2019s strongest boy\u2019\u00a0has spent the summer holidays pumping iron to impress his school-friends.<\/p>\n

Muscle-bound Giuliano Stroe, nicknamed the \u2018Romanian Hercules\u2019, sent friends videos of himself performing astonishing 90 degree push-ups before starting Year 5 at school.<\/p>\n

After balancing his weight on his hands he pushes himself from horizontal to vertical and then smoothly lowers himself to the floor again with his arms locked.<\/p>\n

Giuliano showed off his PE prowess along with younger brother Claudiu, 7, in the clips and the pair have been\u00a0pumping iron\u00a0since before they could walk thanks to keep-fit-mad dad Iulian, 35, and mum Ileana.<\/p>\n

The boys, from Icoana, southern Romania are considered to be the world\u2019s strongest boy bodybuilders and go through gruelling two hour weight-training sessions seven days a week.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Guiliano has his own YouTube channel and while some are impressed by his performances, others comment that his extreme exercise regime is \u2018unhealthy\u2019.<\/p>\n

Dad Iulian said: \u201cHe was very excited about going back to school and he wanted to show his friends he hasn\u2019t been slacking during the holidays.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiuliano is a good pupil and a very bright boy academically but of course his favourite lesson is always PE.\u201d<\/p>\n

The youngster holds olds a clutch of world records for feats of strength in his age group.<\/p>\n

And the tiny \u201cmuscleman\u201d has been performing acrobatic feats and lifting weights and has already broken two world records for 90-degree vertical push-ups and another holding on to a pole like a human flag.<\/p>\n

He and his brother think nothing of lifting 4kg dumbbells and heavy weights to work on their biceps and build up their chest muscles.<\/p>\n

Dad Iulian said: \u201cCritics say that the boys won\u2019t grow properly, but there\u2019s no proof of that. Hard work and exercise are always good.\u201d<\/p>\n
