Worlds Smallest Bodybuilder
 

At just 2ft 9in, Indian muscleman Aditya 'Romeo' Dev is the world's smallest bodybuilder.

Pint-sized Romeo is well-known in his hometown of Phagwara, India - for his ability to lift 1.5kg dumbbells - despite his overall 9kg body weight.

Every day, crowds flock to the local gym to the see the mini-muscleman in training.

Unlike many dwarfs, Romeo is well proportioned, with a head circumference of 15in and a chest measurement of 20in.

Romeo said: "I've been training as a bodybuilder for the last two years and by now I think I must be the strongest dwarf in the world.

"I have always been fit but since I started working out, I have become famous for my strength.

"My size has never stopped me. I train with dumbbells and do aerobics and dance. People are always pleased to see me. I have been invited on TV shows and dance on stage."

His trainer Ranjeet Pal spents hours helping his 19-year-old protege build his small muscles to perfection.

"Because of his small size, I don't assign him hard exercises. But Romeo trains more or less the same as anyone else and he's much more determined.

"When he first started, I insisted he did a month of basic exercises like aerobics, push-ups and basic gymnastics to prepare his body.

"After that, I made lightweight dumbbells and taught him basic weight-lifting exercises to shape his biceps and triceps. His size and his weight were taken care of so that he never hurt himself."

Determined Romeo is hoping to have an entertainment career after performing in many local TV shows.

He said: "I earn good money through my dance and bodybuilding shows but being rich doesn't interest me.

"My dream is to travel a lot - I want to perform in London with my idol, Jazzy-B."

I read about him yesterday. They say working out extensively reduces the size of your genetalia, poor bugger!

Awww fuck , too late :(

1.5 kg dumbbells and he weighs 9kg. thats 1/6 his bodyweight. Thats nothing spectacular. thats like a 180 lb man lifting a 30lb dumbbell, whoopty-f'n-doo.

Cute lil feller tho;)

this has got to be fake, right? this is pretty amazing.

why do all of these types look like they've been photoshopped

Plus, I know he's little and everything but why put him in a diaper.

does he have to wear the lil' kid's clothes too?...geez

I thought my life sucked wow

I could totally kick his ass

i am not so sure I could kick his ass, but i would be willing to challenge him to an arm wrestling match.

Kick his ass?

Doing what? a leg sweep?

if you're not careful you may end up kicking him in the head.

It's not much to brag about that you can beat him at something, he can only lift a few pounds...

I thought body builders were all about definition and couldn't careless about strength.

this aint a pride competition. i play to win.

I'd totally kick him in the face :D

You sick bastards! Leave him alone, besides he'd kick all your asses.

Wow .. digging the bleach-blonde hair.

lmao thats too funny

i cant look at him for long.
he creeps me out...i would probably walk in another drection if i ever see him in the streets.

I love his shoes.

OMG I just saw this thread. He sure is cute. I just want to pick him up and hug him!

I bet if he did a tour in North America by being a guest on Oprah, Ellen, or Regis would yield him even more exposure. Pretty amazing for a person his size to have gone that far.

I do agree, however, that he should @ least get some clothing that's not so kiddie...

Really, 1.5 kg for 9 kg bodyweight is weak. Weak, l tell you!

I could take him in a fair fight.

it looks really fake but i searched on google and he is on wikipedia and foxnews... it looks so fake!

He's been on loads of stuff with the BBC already. And I think he was on 'Paul mertons tour of India' or something like that aswell, and he's got a huge celebrity status over there.

hes so cute, but he looks well fake :O
read about him in the local paper months ago :D
