For those who THINK they are strong.

From Old School Strength Forum-- and article


12 year old Varya Akulova in Ukraine has
astonishing strength. According to a newspaper
report in November, Varya easily lifts 82 lb each
kettle bells in each hand, she can lift a 300 lbs
barbell off the ground and hold a barbell loaded
with 300 lbs in weights over her head for 10 seconds.
It was reported Varya also EASILY supported a
platform with ten men on it using leg and arm
strength combined, total weight of
about 1,550 lbs. Varya weighs around 90 lb to 94 lbs.
She has never been injured training,
never, often lifting 50 tons in one workout according
to newspapers. She enjoys training with weights and
athletics, she can run very fast, jump high, has
incredible balance and is a trained gymnast. She is
also said to be near genius in intelligence and a
great painter. She is skilled in boxing but no hits to
the head for safety. She is also an excellent kickboxer.
She trains with kettle bells weighing between 54 lbs and 82 lbs
each, now she lifts the 82 lb weight with extreme ease, to her
it is like lifting a tennis ball. Varya soon wants to try bending
nails with fingers and bending steel bars.

I guess the old saying is true....'Somewhere in Russia a little girl is warming up with your max!' 

I remember reading about some kid born last year in Germany from parents that were Olympic athletes. both abused HgH etal. The baby was born with a genitic side effect that the enzime that keeps your muscle growth in check was signifigantly retarded.

aledgedly this kid is already 87lbs and can pickup two 20kilo bags and hold them outright.  Word has it the Olympic committee wants to keep these 'Genetic freaks' from ever competing.

That said, I don't have a problem at all with what she says/ shows she can lift. If the kid was trained from birth it is possible. Dickle is an old man that suffered a broken back as a teen. He now tosses around 180lb balls (ok no sick jokes here) and can deadlift over 1000lbs.

What is the world coming to, I can't believe it is real.

Man thats an awesome end note.

There's something just not right about this.  I love strength events, but it seems wrong to put a kid up to that so young.

I wouldn't doubt it. 

I think his moniker was "Little Hercules".  I believe I saw a Discovery channel special, or something like that, on him.  It wasn't natural.  They got the kid away from his dad and it all went away. 

Here's the genetic aberration story

I don't think the HgH abuse was considered the cause.
