Five Year Old Boy has "Atlas-Like" Strength

23 06 2004

There’s a 5 year old boy in Berlin that can hold 7 pound weights with his arms extended.    Many adults can’t do that!  The “New England Journal of Medicine reports the finding in it’s June 2004 issue. This little tyke has a mutated gene that now doesn’t stop muscles from being produced.  I suppose this will put a whole new spin on the term “muscle-bound”.  Freaky stuff - I suppose he’ll be handy when dad can’t find the Jack to change the flat tire :)
