Brandon Blake from County Kildare in Ireland prefers doing chin-ups rather than playing with his toys - and the eight-year-old has become an internet hit after his bodybuilding hero Frank Medrano shared a photo of him on Facebook.
The viral image shows the little boy, who just turned eight this week, proudly showcasing his rippling six-pack ab muscles.
Medrano captioned the shot: "Ran into this lil guy's Instagram and put a big smile in my face Only 7 years old this lil man Brandon showing some dedication.
"Feels great to influence such a young generation and I hope he's living a happy and healthy life."
The image has now been shared almost 5,500 times.
But, while some parents have slated Blake's bodybuilder physique as being "unhealthy", his father Mark insists that Blake is "happy and healthy".
Speaking with The Daily Mail, he said: "He's a very active little boy and he doesn't do any weights. He is into gymnastics and that is where his physique comes from."
"He's developed it over the past year - it is crazy looking at him. Brandon is happy and healthy and his core strength is amazing, he is an inspiration.
"I put on a lot of weight and Brandon actually motivated me to lose it. He has been my son and my mentor."
He added: "But he is just an ordinary boy who loves playing with his friends. There is a small element of people who are saying it is bad, but it is not - I think it sends a positive message."
The Irish boy, who currently weighs 25kg, has a healthy diet of cereal in the morning, fruit throughout the day, and meat and two vegetables in the evening.
He achieved his shape through calisthenics, an exercise which doesn't require any equipment, and gymnastics.s
Blake hopes to win a gold medal at the Olympics one day and insists that he enjoys working out because it "makes him feel happy."
"I want to be able to do all the things which Frank (Medrano) can do and I also want to be really strong as well."
