World's strongest boy smashes record

The world's strongest five-year-old is muscling in on a new record after performing a series of astonishing 'air' press-ups.

Romanian Giuliano Stroe - who has been trained by his gymnast dad Iulian since he could walk - stunned TV viewers in his homeland by almost doubling the current world record of 12.

The body-building youngster pulled off 20 of the special press ups - where the legs never touch the floor - before stopping.

Giuliano became a worldwide sensation after videos of his strongman feats became a You Tube sensation.

Last year, he managed to get into the Guinness Book of Records after performing a jaw-dropping handstand stunt on an Italian TV show.

He performed the fastest ever 10 metre hand walk with a weighted ball between his legs in front of an astonished audience.

Dad Iulian, 33, explained: "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."
