Liam Hoekstra's birth mother accidently ingested some super soldier serum while pregnant with lil Liam. Yes, the same super soldier serum that turned scrawny Steve Rogers into Captain America.An ultrasound performed on Liam when he was 14 months old revealed he had 40 percent more muscle than average. Liam was born four weeks early, had a small hole in his heart and enlarged kidneys. His heart and kidneys healed within a few months! Two days after he was born, Liam could stand up and support his weight if someone held his hands to provide balance. Liam's muscular thighs at 5 months of age gave him the appearance of a miniature Lance Armstrong. By 8 months, Liam was doing pull-ups and, a month later, climbing up and down stairs. Liam is now 19 months old and sports a full six pack. Once, during a tantrum, he gave his mother a black eye and once punched a hole in the plaster wall!
"He could do the iron cross when he was 5 months old," said his adoptive mother, Dana Hoekstra of Roosevelt Park. She was referring to a difficult gymnastics move in which a male athlete suspends himself by his arms between two hanging rings, forming the shape of a cross. Liam has 40 percent more muscle mass than normal, jaw-dropping strength, breathtaking quickness, a speedy metabolism and almost no body fat. Liam can run like the wind, has the agility of a cat, lifts pieces of furniture that most children his age couldn't push across a slick floor and eats like there is no tomorrow -- without gaining weight.
Ok, so the super serum thing isn't true.... Liam has a rare genetic condition called myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy, or muscle enlargement. The condition promotes above-normal growth of the skeletal muscles; it doesn't affect the heart and has no known negative side effects, according to experts.
I just hope his parents instill in him "with great power comes great responsibility!"
