Just thinking about dwarfism and strength here...and it's odd how that it's common in India but not over here?
Anyway, he weighs 9kg (19.8 lbs.) and they show his "lift" of two db's over his head of 1.5 kg ea. (3.3 lbs)...that's a divisor of 6. *(the best I can do with math..)
So I weigh 215...that's 35.8 lbs. per db...no big deal here, but then again, I don't weigh less than our Thanksgiving turkey either.
But some dwarfs have other abilities and strengths, and most of us are familiar with, uh, I don't know the corrected "politically correct" term for midget - vertically challenged comes to mind...and their amazing feats of strength, some being weightlifters by nature too.
I think if our dwarf ate enough, he might have something more to show - or it may not be in his abilities to eat so.
None of this is important, is it?

Yeah, the real story here is that there's a very small chap who goes to the gym and does a few exercises. Bit of a local celebrity and he gets in the paper because he is unusually small and not because he has uncanny strength for a small guy – I remember a story about a baby with a myostatin gene defect who was so strong he could lift the sofa if his toy went underneath it (or something).
I agree with Quad, that he should up his calories, if he is able to, and if he wants to be a bodybuilder. It looks like his biggest challenge is that he has disproportionally sized femurs and fibulas/tibias which will probably preclude his being able to squat, deadlift or Oly lift. RDLs or SLDLs might be doable though.
Hope someone can help the little feller out.
