Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most push ups with claps performed in one minute: 73, by Stephen Buttler (UK) in Morda, Shropshire, UK.
Giuliano Stroe (born July 18, 2004) is a 7-year-old gymnast of Romanian descent. Giuliano Stroe has been lifting weights and learning gymnastics since he was two-years-old in Florence, Italy where his family lived. They now live again in Romania.
Giuliano Stroe has been weight training since the age of 2. He finally earned his place in the Guinness Book of World Records after an appearance on an Italian TV show.
Giuliano's father Iulian, 33-years-old, said he has been taking Giuliano with him to the gym ever since he was born, but he is careful not to push Giuliano too hard. Stroe insists his son's workout schedule isn't excessive.
"He is never allowed to practice on his own, he is only a child and if he gets tired we go and play," Iulian said.
Giuliano says his newfound celebrity has not gone to his head. He adds that he still does normal seven-year-old activities like watching cartoons and painting.
