THE world’s strongest boy who could do 4,000 back-to-back push-ups aged just seven looks unrecognisable nine years on.
Andrey Kostash’s set a new world record in 2012 by completing the the push-ups in an astonishing two hours and 29 minutes.
The phenomenal show of strength from the ripped youngster was filmed for Ukraine’s Got Talent.
Nine years on, 16-year-old Andrey is unrecognisable.
With 100,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, Andrey shares video of his fishing and sailing adventures, as well as archive footage of his childhood weight competitions.
The Ukrainian teen reportedly started gymnastics, martial arts, flexibility and strength training when he was just five – and he was lifting weights by the time he was eight.
After setting the world record in 2012, Andrey, who is also an actor and model, was pictured posing happily with his certificate.
He was monitored by judges from Ukrainian Book of Records to ensure his successful attempt complied with official rules.
He said at the time: “I just like receiving prizes. Different ones.”
Although he set a new record, he didn’t manage to reach his personal best of 6,000 consecutive push-ups.
