Giuliano Stroe has six-pack abs before turning six years old. And he's also in the Guinness Book of World Records before he can probably even read it.
Though it's highly unusual (and possibly unhealthy) for a child to start weight training at such a young age, the pre-schooler entered the record books earlier this year after completing the fastest ever 10-meter walk with a weight ball between the legs, which is both both highly impressive and highly specific. Since then, a four-minute video of Stroe has hit the Internet and made him a viral sensation.
It looks like a training montage from a Rocky movie, minus the Survivor soundtrack. (And, interestingly, Guiliano Stroe is almost the same size as Sylvester Stallone.)
The highlights:
0:32 -- The "Crouching Tiger" wall flip.
0:41 -- Backflips on the kitchen table. Even Richard Heene thinks that's questionable parenting.
1:43 -- Doing barbell curls with toddlers dancing to 50 Cent in the background.
3:19 -- More flipping, this time from a high bar.
3:39 -- My arms hurt from just watching that.
The pre-schooler's gymnastic skills are every bit as impressive as his weightlighting prowess. Both sports are national obsessions in Romania, so Stroe should have plenty of options when he becomes a teenager ... in 2017.

Robert Pattinson inspired by Dean
Robert Pattinson took inspiration from James Dean for his role in 'Twilight'.
The 23-year-old British actor - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie franchise - owes his success to the Academy Award-nominated star of 'Rebel Without a Cause'.
He said: 'I tried copying James Dean's accent just because I've always wanted James Dean's voice. I think that is why it has worked. Everyone loves a bit of James Dean.'
Pattinson also tried to copy the acting style of the screen legend, who tragically died aged 24 after a car crash.
He added: ''Rebel Without a Cause' was a big influence on the first 'Twilight' film - it influenced the hair and stuff. In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc. An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump.'
Although Pattinson is thrilled with the success of 'Twilight', he admits he still feels overawed by his legions of female fans.
He said: 'I'm not entirely sure what it is. I'll probably realise afterwards how I could have controlled it a little bit more. But I am still like a deer in headlights at the moment.'

FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER: MJ CACHERO
I was enclosed in a vacuum on what to write about MJ Cachero at first. But when I saw his exquisite photos, sparks of ideas embarked like uncontrollable gush forth of thoughts overwhelmed my mind. He works from raw to an exceptional masterpiece.Marlon Jay Cachero Salinas (aka as MJ Cachero in photography mainstream) has his own photography business, which he supervises himself. MJC Photography, as it is called, began its operation on March 30, 2005.
Having been a model himself, he pursued photography at its finest as his works satiated every eye of his meticulous clients. Through his cam, he always succeeds in expressing something intangible, i.e. perfection.
This talented photographer was born on the 30th of March (hmmm…same date as that of his birthday. hehe) in Binangonan, Pangasinan.
This 23-year old fulltime photographer finds happiness when people give appreciation to his works. On the contrary, he feels like an otiose if he is not productive. He considers doing publications as his greatest achievement. He has done ad campaigns and has contributed for publications such as Business Mirror, View Magazine and Philam Star.
He seems to have everything that he has now but just like other typical ‘strong’ person as he describes himself, he is still dreaming of having his own house, and be a globe trotter. He is vernal yet succeeds beyond expectations. He is an epitome of a young root trying to extend at the very peak of success.

"On the contrary" vs "To the contary"
On the contrary introduces a statement that pertains to the opposite of the last one:
EXAMPLE: "It must have been difficult. On the contrary it was easy."
To the contrary is when you prove the opposite:
EXAMPLE: "Show me some evidence to the contrary." (which proves this is wrong)
