This is a bit disturbing...
Might have been posted here before. I had seen this before but had forgotten about it until now when I accidentally stumbled upon it.

He's 8 years old and also an accomplished martial arts practitioner.

1. 8 year old should NOT be doing bodybuilding
Their bodies just aren't fully matured to handle that kind of weight training regime. I would say no bodybuilding until 16.

Girls "beauty paegents" get a lot of attention, and rightfully so, for being exploitative of young girls, but I often wonder why we don't hear more from the MSM and academic feminists about the eqaually destructive nature of boys' bodybuilding competitions.

5. They had this kid on a show on TLC
back awhile. His parents have no objection to his bodybuilding, because the kid himself is the one who wants to do it, NOT at the urging of his parents. He's a very self-assured child, with healthy self-esteem, and doctors and his parents have set some limits for him, but again, he wants to do it, and enjoys it very much.

6. Kids want to do a lot of things they shouldn't do.
That's where adults are supposed to come in. What a little freak. Who is going to be SO sorry of an adult. Too bad.

7. he is about 13 now
his parents have separated, and his father charged with child and spousal abuse. he's trying to have a normal life these days. to get that body he drank nothing but a fortified protein drink concocted by his father. he looks like a regular kid now
