Giuliano Stroe and his brother Claudiu are just nine and seven-years-old respectively, and yet they already have a few world records to their name when it comes to feats of strength.
Young Giuliano has broken two records, one for 90-degree vertical pushups and another for flagging, where you hold yourself up on a pole as if you were a human flag. These amazing achievements don't come without practice and training however, and the boy's father Iulian puts them through a tough two-hour workout that has them in peak physical condition.
The boys have an official Facebook Page dedicated to their exploits, and have posted messages recently detailing their family's struggles. They have been unable to find a sponsor for their training and Iulian has had trouble finding work, meaning he may need to leave the family to go further afield and make money to keep up their taining regime. They have been making videos and sharing photos in the hope that they can get some coverage, and get noticed.
Both brothers have been routinely lifting weights from a very young age, with young Claudiu starting at just 18 months old, when he was copying his older brother.
Of course, there is plenty of discussion as a result regarding whether or not the kids should be put through this type of regime, but their mother, Ileana, told The Daily Mail that they "have a natural ability for this, nothing is forced [on them]", adding that the boy's father will "go abroad to earn money, as a builder or labourer, and we will use it all for our sons".
