Löytyykö yleareenasta? en nähnyt äskön, mutta suoralinkki olisi kiitoksen arvoinen!

here is an update on the German kid, its incredible how strong he is...just read this...
"Jaw-dropping strength. Breath-taking speed. Phenomenal agility. Olympian feats."
With origins and abilities worthy of fitting a comic book hero, these are words that reporters and doctors have used to describe Liam Hoekstra. The thing is this: Liam is only a toddler.
Due to conditional circumstance, Liam was adopted at birth by the Hoekstra family.
Little did the family know that they were adopting a child with a very rare and special genetic condition.
The Hoekstra's quickly began to notice Liam being able to do things out of the ordinary. Two days after birth, he was able to fully stand-up and support his own weight, given someone held his hands. Months later he began developing ripped abs, naturally doing pull-ups, inverted sit-ups, Olympic styled iron cross, thigh muscles compared to that of Lance Armstrong and even punching holes into walls during tantrums (accidentally gave his Mom a black eye once as well).
What really amazed his family was what happened whenever he fell.
"When he fell backward, he would land on his butt, but he never hit his head on the ground," Dana Hoekstra said. "His stomach would tense up and he would catch himself before his head hit the ground. You could see his stomach muscles. He had a little six-pack," said his adoptive mother, Dana, in an interview.
Liam can expect to have up to 50% more muscle mass than average, ridiculous levels of strength, fast metabolism, and hardly any body fat. His mother mentions, "Liam has never had any body fat...the only fat he has is in his cheeks."
Liam Hoekstra was hanging upside down by his feet when he performed an inverted sit-up, his shirt falling away to expose rippled abdominal muscles.
It was a display of raw power one might expect to see from an Olympic gymnast.
Liam is 19 months old.
But this precocious, 22-pound boy with coffee-colored skin, curly hair and washboard abs is far from a typical toddler.
"He could do the iron cross when he was 5 months old," said his adoptive mother, Dana Hoekstra of Roosevelt Park. She was referring to a difficult gymnastics move in which a male athlete suspends himself by his arms between two hanging rings, forming the shape of a cross.
"I would hold him up by his hands and he would lift himself into an iron cross. That's when we were like, 'Whoa, this is weird,'" Hoekstra said.
Liam has a rare genetic condition called myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy, or muscle enlargement. The condition promotes above-normal growth of the skeletal muscles; it doesn't affect the heart and has no known negative side effects, according to experts.
Liam has the kind of physical attributes that bodybuilders and other athletes dream about: 40 percent more muscle mass than normal, jaw-dropping strength, breathtaking quickness, a speedy metabolism and almost no body fat.
In fitness buffs' terms, the kid is ripped.
"We call him The Hulk, Hercules, the Terminator," his mother said.
Liam can run like the wind, has the agility of a cat, lifts pieces of furniture that most children his age couldn't push across a slick floor and eats like there is no tomorrow -- without gaining weight.
"He's hungry for a full meal about every hour because of his rapid metabolism," Dana Hoekstra said. "He's already eating me out of house and home."

Tänään aamulla tuli uusinta tuosta, varmaan tulee Areenaankin.
"Researchers at Johns Hopkins wanted to include Liam in a study of people with the condition. When they found 100 adults to participate, Liam was no longer needed. That was a relief for his parents, who did not want to subject Liam to the painful muscle biopsy that would be required of everyone in the study."
Eli ei jäänyt labra-rotaksi

Jollekkin pitkälle äijälle voisi tulla tuo geenivirhe niin voisi mahdollistua odottamani "ketterä jättiläinen", eli >250cm pitkä 200kg 6% rasvoissa. Niin vahva että on yhtä ketterä kuin 180cm äijä. Kelatkaan miten ylivoimainen olisi about missä tahansa lajissa.

Ei nyt ihan treminaattorilta näytä ei. Eikä juokse kuin tuuli eikä ole notkea kuin kissa. Ja jos on nopea metabolia niin johan nyt pattiakin tulis eikä tuota näkyny tuossa videossa. Samaa mieltä.
Hyvä että lapsi kuitenkin on terve ja leikkii, toivottavasti saa elää normaalia elämää.

Sama nimi sillä ainakin oli kuin aamulla tulleessa dokkarissa. Liam Hoekstra.

Joo, no sillä dokkarilla ei nyt ole sitten mitään tekemistä aloituspostin kuvan/pojan kanssa, koska videolla esiintyvän pojan perhe ei ollut saksalainen.
edit: niin, liekkö sitten edes täysin sama geenivirhe näillä pojilla kyseessä. Kyllä itsekin olettaisin, että tämä saksalainen on tuota Liam poikaa vielä kovemmassa kunnossa.

Tuo on joku italialainen roinari, tuskin liittyy mitenkään tähän tapaukseen saatika myostatiiniin.
