World's smallest body builder from Phagwara, Punjab (India)

Small but mighty: the world's shortest bodybuilder
Tuesday, February 12, 2008

In these troubled, despairing times, the world needs heroes to offer a message of hope to the huddled masses. Well, we have that hero:

They say that 'a noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.' If that's the case, then nobody could be more embiggened than Aditya 'Romeo' Dev - the world's smallest bodybuilder.

Dev, 19, who is excellent, stands just 33 inches tall - but weighs an impressive 9.25kg (just under 1.5 stone), and has a chest measurement of 20 inches.

'Romeo' trains at the Leo Health Club in Phagwara, India, where his trainer is club owner Ranjit Pal (also known as 'Mr Punjab'). Pal is reputed to be the fastest skipper in India, which is a fairly brilliant claim in itself.
