What do you give a kid who has six-pack abs before he's 6?

Anything he wants, including a Guinness world record he won for setting the fastest-ever record for a 10-meter (33 feet) hand walk with a weight ball between his legs.

It's a very specific task requiring a host of select muscle groups this kid has honed.

The kid is 5-year-old Romanian Giuliano Stroe who has been pumping iron since he was 2.

His father, Iulian Stroe, 33, says the buff pre-schooler has been hitting the gym since his first birthday, tagging along with dad, who is also a muscle man.

Father Stroe says true to weight and fitness practice rules, the tough kid is never allowed to practice on his own or train when he's tired.

The oldest of four children, the muscle boy also enjoys "normal" kid stuff, including painting, watching cartoons and playing in the park -- when he isn't bulking up.

Here's the mini-Terminator in his own YouTube's video.
