Meet Aditya Dev, AKA Romeo. He’s known as the World’s Smallest Bodybuilder.

Romeo showed his stuff off recently at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in London.

Okay, so he can only lift a few kilograms. But considering he is only 33 inches tall and weighs about 9 kilograms himself, Romeo’s no lightweight (proportionally, at least).

If the Olympic committee ever adds children’s weightlifting as an event, look out.

Who wants to spend time lifting heavy pieces of cold metal when you can lift warm bodies instead?

That’s the premise behind a new offering from Gymbox in London. The gym has several employees on staff available for you to lift while working out.

Since everyone is a different strength, Gymbox has a range of human weights that goes from a midget named Arti, who weighs 66 lbs., to “Super Human” Matt Bernard, who weighs well over 300 lbs.

As if this wasn’t ridiculous enough, the weights “wear black leotards with their weights printed across their chests and sit on adapted machines to let the weightlifter visualise what they are lifting.”

Not only that, they also shout encouragement, since everyone needs to be yelled at by a little person while working out.

Gymbox owner Richard Hilton said “Creating a mental image or intention of what you want to happen or feel is proven to improve physical and psychological performance.”

So if you want to lift midgets, then lifting midgets will improve your performance. That sounds pretty straightforward, but there’s a very fine line between midget lifting and midget tossing.

If bulking up by lifting people is not your cup of tea, then don’t worry. Gymbox has plenty of other fitness activites, ranging from the ridiculous to the insane.

Some of the highlights:

• BALLET POLE The elegance and grace of Ballet mixed with the sexiness of pole dancing
• BITCH BOXING Sorry guys, this one’s for the girls! Time to glove up and get down on that boxing ring, ladies.
• CHAV FIGHTING Protect yourself form the ‘YOUF’ of today. Learn how to defend yourself from gangs of HOODIES, avoid HAPPY SLAPPINGS and feel safe in KNIFE CRIME-ridden London.
• CHEERLEADING Gimme a G, gimme a Y, gimme an M, gimme a B… Shake your pom-poms and feel like a true American cheerleader.
• KANGOO What do you get if you cross roller-skating and trampoline? Well here it is.

What do I get if I cross roller-skating and trampoline? Many broken bones.

The Pan-American games are going on right now. I wouldn’t have known either had I not read that story the other day about the Brazilian fencer getting stabbed by his brother.

Cuban leader Fidel Castro sure does know about the games though. He has been watching so much of the coverage that he has been forgetting to eat and take his medication.

Castro said: “I hardly take my eyes off the television. Sometimes I forget the time of some food or some pill. I don’t miss an event on the television: weightlifting, taekwando, rowing, cycling, beach volleyball.”

He also applauded women’s artistic gymnastics, calling it a “beautiful sport”.

Let’s see… beach volleyball, women’s gymnastics. We know what sort of pill Fidel is NOT forgetting to take.
