He might only be 11 years old but Timofey Klevakin can already run rings around most adults as he pulls cars and flips tractors.
The schoolboy strongman from Shalya in Russia, has being going to the gym since he was five, when he started training with his dad Arseniy.
The proud father said the youngster developed his passion after imitating people down the gym.
"He just played at first, then he jumped rope, took hoola hoop and ran with it," he said.
"Then we noticed that he started to take light dumbbells, repeated after me and [other] people, looked at how they did it, tried to raise their dumbbells."
Timofey now wven takes part in deadlift competitions and is able to lift more than a lot of adults.
He weighs 37.4kg, and is able to lift 100kg.
At first, relatives worried about the boy’s interest, but Timofey was adamant.
"Mother asked me: 'Why do you need this, Timofey? You will have big problems when you grow up'.
"I answered: 'I am fascinated with it and it’s the most important thing in my life'" he said.
The boy’s father doesn’t think that the workouts will have an impact on Timofey’s health in the long run.
"Every three or four months we are followed up with by doctors and surgeons.
"Of course, everyone says that he doesn't need such pressures at his age. But there are not any pathologies, and I think there won't be," he added.
