   Giuliano Stroe does push-ups while balancing on glass bottles: he's just 7 years old

When most of us were 7 years old, we were probably blissfully playing with dolls and robots, begging mom for sweets and running outside with our friends. Giuliano Stroe has other hobbies, set as he is to prove that he is, indeed, the world's strongest boy.

The Romanian kid first caused waves in the international press two years ago. Aged just 5, he shot to fame by displaying his ripped physique online and showcasing his various skills.

Now the proud owner of several World Guinness Records, Giuliano and his father, who also doubles as his personal trainer, are still set on proving that he can do things not even an adult could probably do.

Take, for instance, his latest stunt, as shown in the video embedded below, at the end of the article.

Uploaded on YouTube a few days ago, the clip shows the 7-year-old boy doing push-ups while balancing on glass bottles.

Looking at the camera, he says twice, “Giuliano, I am strong,” while also flexing his muscles for the camera, to prove that he is really is that.

His father, Iulian Stroe, can be heard counting his push-ups but, at one point, he also tells his son that she can – and should – stop when he feels he can't continue anymore.

Ever since Giuliano shot to fame, his family and especially his father have been repeatedly forced to defend their actions in front of those saying they're ruining the boy's childhood for a shot at fame and a quick buck.

As we also noted back in 2009, Iulian insists that Giuliano is just a normal kid who also happens to like to train a lot.

“He has been going to the gym since he was born. I have trained hard all my life and always take him with me. But he is never allowed to practice on his own. He is only a child and if he gets tired we go and play,” the father was saying at the time.
