The strongest child on the planet broke off relations with his father, abandoned training and launched a figure. He is studying quantum physics and regrets his unhappy childhood.
On a subconscious level, parents often try to embody unfulfilled dreams in their children. Most can stop in time and allow the child to live their own lives. However, there are times when adults literally "mold" an obedient doll out of a baby. And worst of all, they start making money from it. Richard Sandrak became such a doll for his father, who conquered the world with his pumped-up body in the 2000s and became a Hollywood star. To achieve such results, dad kept his son on a strict diet and forced him to exercise for 6 hours a day.
Hard workouts and a bean diet
Richard Sandrak was born in Ukraine to a family of professional athletes. His father Pavel was once the world champion in martial arts, and his mother Elena devoted her whole life to aerobics. Therefore, from early childhood, the child was introduced to training and sports activities. At the age of one, the baby was already stretching with his mother.
When the child turned two, the family moved from Ukraine to America. There Pavel had more free time, and he decided to take seriously the physical development of his son. The man started out with simple workouts and immediately noticed that Richard was making amazing progress. Then my father decided to add hand-to-hand fighting techniques and power loading to stretching and basic children's exercises.

At the age of three, the kid was already working hard in the gym, performing dumbbell exercises and on simulators. Until one of the doctors made a remark to the father that power loads can be detrimental to the child's musculoskeletal system. Then Pavel switched to lightweight plastic dumbbells, and began to pay increased attention to the "relief" of his son.

Those who are involved in sports know what "body drying" is. This is a real lifestyle aimed at removing body fat and emphasizing muscles. Drying involves very intense exercise and special protein diet. Pavel took up such drying - he forced his son to exercise for 6-7 hours a day, counted calories in each of his meals and personally went to the market for groceries. Rumor has it that the main dish of the child day after day was only one beans.
Little Hercules conquered Hollywood
At the age of five, Richard had a physique that every man on the planet would sell his soul for. In the photographs it seems that this is a photoshop, and the child's head was simply "attached" to the body of a young bodybuilder. The boy quickly became a local celebrity, but his father wanted real fame. Therefore, the family moved from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles and decided that it was time for their son to conquer Hollywood.
The child was enrolled in a fashionable fitness club, and Frank Jardina, who at that time trained many celebrities, became the coach. Together with Pavel, he set an incredibly high bar for Richard: at least 600 push-ups, 600 abs and 300 squats. Plus constant training in martial arts. This gave its results - already at the age of six, Richard had incredible strength for children. The kid could squeeze more than 80 kg from the chest.
Richard quickly became famous throughout America / open sources
Very soon, the news of the amazing child spread throughout the state, and then throughout the country. He easily won all the popular American bodybuilding shows. By the age of eight, he received such awards as "Mr. Olympia", "Mr. USA", "Emerald Cup", "Arnold Classic". People were so enthusiastic about the little bodybuilder that Richard even went on a real tour of the USA.

The boy was called "little Hercules" and "the strongest child on the planet." With his participation, video tutorials with training for children were released. Richard even starred in a film about himself. True, "The Adventures of Little Hercules in 3D" failed at the box office, but allowed the parents to double their son's fees for participating in the TV show.
Oblivion or liberation from slavery
Three years of total adoration helped Richard's parents to put together a rather big sum. Both mother and father abandoned their careers and relied on income from their son. But with age, he became less and less interesting to the public. There are a lot of adult bodybuilders in America, but the child did not stand out for any other talents. As a result, Paul began to drink and throw himself at the family with his fists. One day he beat his wife and Richard called the police. After the father was sent to prison, the son broke off all relations with him. And in the same way I decided to break with the hateful training.
With age, Richard increasingly lost his uniqueness / open sources
Journalists found little Hercules 15 years after the peak of his popularity. He completely retired from bodybuilding, and attends gym workouts no more than a couple of times a month. Not a trace remained of the stunning figure: the guy's appearance is no different from thousands of his peers. But most importantly, he had the opportunity to do what he really loves. Paradoxically, the strongest child on the planet is studying quantum physics and dreams of becoming a NASA employee.
Little Hercules is no longer in training / open sources
Richard's physical fitness has remained at a good level: he works as an animator at the Waterworld Park show at Universal Studios. At work, he often has to triple performances - water skiing or skateboarding, jumping from a height and showing elements of parkour. However, this is the only plus that he inherited from childhood. Everything else, Richard Sandrak tries not to even remember.
