Three-year-old Liam Hoekstra of Roosevelt Park looks like your average toddler, but looks can be deceiving. The Roosevelt Park boy doesn't have any obvious physical attributes that set him apart from other tots and he behaves like many children his age. But when Liam picks up two five-pound dumbbells and waves them around like stuffed animals, or does rapid-fire sit-ups, it becomes abundantly clear that he has an extraordinary gift. Liam's amazing strength, the result of a rare genetic condition called myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy, has made him something of a global media darling.

In short, he's strong as a bull.

  • @autobotlazi except if he wanted to, he could pile on muscle

  • like if u hear britney spears in the backgroud

  • the perfect sport for him is gymastics. too small for football. I would not even think about my son going into any fighting sport like ufc. best bet is gynastics. they all have extremely strong cores and usually arent very tall

  • At age 3 he can do as many sit-ups as me...

    Yup, he's going to pretty much excel in whatever sports field he wants.

    

  • he is on roids for sure ;-)

  • @TheCrazyKakoos facebookdotcom/zomcrow yeah when i was 16 i won first place in a ADULT jiu jitsu tournament. I was up against people the age of 24 above with more than 2 years experience plus and me i only did it for a year. The reason i did that tournament is because i missed the teenager tournament.... Im not trying to be cocky but im just trying to prove my point.

  • @Zomcrow If that's you in your videos then you are indeed a liar. Unless you were bitten by a radioactive spider then you are are probably weaker than the average human.

  • @magicdustinc i swear to god and i swear to my life do you need a picture of my body now? and just know im 5"3"

  • @Zomcrow You fucking liar shut up.

  • I got myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy to :) i was able to climb up rops in kendagradan and when i was five i was able to carry my teenage friends on my back and most were fat haha and also was able to pick up my big sister and dad when i was 5
