Rare condition gives toddler super strength

ROOSEVELT PARK, Mich. -- 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.

A problem I would LOVE to have.

That's amazing. What a weird life that kid is probably going to have, and myostatin blockades certianly do seem like they'd have appeal as the 'steroid' of the future.

Oh, I could beat this kid. But I probably wouldn't cover the spread.

Frig,
The only thing that kept my self esteem from being dangerously low was the fact that, at the very least, I could beat up a baby
. . . now with that no longer true, I just don't know what to do anymore

Hmmmm...this is a disturbing trend. 5 Year olds are getting progressively tougher. Its almost as if they're preparing for something......
