This is impressive, but I question training this hard at 5. The kid seems to be having fun though.

Curt sent me that video.

I just loved all the "It's not Natural" and "Its not right" bs. Let the kid have fun. If enjoys it that's all that matters. It won't hurt him.

He's doing lots of gymnatics type work too not just lifting weights. The kid is a mutant he'll be like Ross Enamit or Cotter

I've read lots of articles that say weight lifting very young damages the joints, but it looked like he was moving weight he could handle. Any truth to the "too young to lift" stuff? The kid is definitely on his way to being part of the Mutant League.  Evil

I've seen this before.  The boy is certainly very impressive from any standpoint.

If he enjoys doing this type of thing, more power to him.  Those "they-say" folks should stay inside their climate controlled bubbles where they will be safe and secure...See how long they live!  My bet is on the boy!
