Richard Sandrak, known as the world’s strongest boy at the age of 8, has left his life as a bodybuilder. “Little Hercules” now works as a stuntman.
The son of martial arts champion Pavel Sandrak and aerobics star Lena Sandrak, former bodybuilder Richard Sandrak became famous in the 2000s as the strongest boy in the world. Today, he lives far from the world of weightlifting.
At eight years old, Richard followed an intense workout routine of 600 push-ups, 600 sit-ups, and 300 squats. He was capable of lifting 95 kilograms (209 pounds).
Richard earned the title of “World’s Strongest Boy” at 11. His parents were accused of giving him steroids, a claim denied by his mother.
Despite fame and success during his childhood, he decided to pursue a path away from bodybuilding.
“I no longer lift weights. I’m proud of my past, but I won’t live stuck in it,” Richard said, according to LADbible.
The former bodybuilder, now 32, works as a stuntman in the Waterworld show at Universal Studios and revealed that he prefers skateboarding over lifting weights.
