Jake Schellenschlager, who became known as ‘The World’s Strongest Child’ has continued to excel in fitness.
Jake Schellenschlager became known early for his incredible feats of strength at a young age. The 14-year-old powerlifter was setting records for his age and weight from his early days of competing. Schellenschlager, known as ‘The World’s Strongest Kid,’ has continued his fitness journey over the years and has changed dramatically.
Schellenschlager began weightlifting when he was 12 years old. He would see his father working out in the garage and wanted to be part of it. It did not take Schellenschlager long to develop incredible strength and do something great with it.
By age 14, the world’s strongest child was able to deadlift 300 pounds. He began competing that year and set new world records for his weight and age during the Powerlifting Bench Press Championships. This was his goal when he first started working out.
Jake Schellenschlager began training with Mike Sarni and this is when he officially Tok the next step. His overall strength was impressive and it was almost unstoppable when combined with his mental toughness and drive.
The World’s Strongest Child follows a long line of children who have made headlines because of their incredible strength or physique.
Richard Sandrak quickly became known as ‘Mini Hercules.’ He began training at a young age and displayed a shredded physique from the time he was a child. Mini Hercules began working out and participating in martial arts at a young age. By age six, Sandrak was able to bench press 180 pounds and upped that number to 210 pounds by eight years old. Mini Hercules was pushed hard by his father but claims that he was never forced into anything.
In recent years, another video has surfaced of Amir the Hulk, a young boy who does not have much body fat because of his condition called Berardinelli Seip. This is a rare condition that sees a child lose all body fat at birth.
Jake Schellenschlager’s drive is different than others. He began lifting at a young age and has remained interested and focused on building a strong physique. He will continue to build that strength and add more size to an already impressive physique.
