Dubbed ‘the world’s strongest toddler’, Liam Hoekstra has a condition called Myostatin gene mutations.

In fact, his parents report that when he was just 1 and a half years old, one of his favourite things to do was to pick up the family’s furniture and move it around the house! He is now ten years old and his biceps have to be seen to be believed: he is often described as a modern day, real life Clark Kent.
