For 6 Days Every Week,

in the morning before breakfast, I do a few exercises,

with two 5 kilogram dumbbells, I make three sets of about 100 to 120 lifts in each set, depending on what exercise I am doing, with a 3 minute break between each set, does it do me any good? all I know is that I am sweating and puffing at the end of the three sets, but my efforts fall by the wayside when I look at 11 year old Timofey Klevakin, who weighs in at just 38 kilograms, the boy from rural Russia, is busy training in the gym and breaking weightlifting records, ever since he was five years old, Timofey was interested in weightlifting, watching his father train at a makeshift gym in their home village of Shalya, in the Ural mountains. Noticing his boy’s interest, Arseny Klevakin started training him, despite his wife’s protests over concerns that he was too young. At the age of six, during a regional weightlifting competition, Timofey managed to amaze attendants and judges by deadlifting a 55-kilogram barbell, photograph YouTube screengrab,

during this year’s Asian Cup, which was held this summer in the city of Chelyabinsk, Timofey Klevakin managed to deadlift 100 kilograms, which is impressive considering his young age and his 38-kilogram weight, apparently the boy’s mother, as well as some child development experts, are worried that the intense weight training may have adverse effects on his health, particularly his spine and knees, but Arseny Klevakin insists that he is always careful not to push his son too hard. He is is father after all and has Timofeys best interest at heart, he is currently training to set a new record during the Russian Championship, this coming spring, by dead lifting 105 kilograms, amazing!
