‘Little Hercules’ Has Grown Up, How Is He Now?

Remember Richard Sandrak? You might remember him by the title “Little Hercules.” He was just a kid, but he was totally ripped — a result of doing 600 push-ups and sit-ups each day, and following an intense diet. Much of his physique was a result of his dad’s training, but it wasn’t a perfect relationship by any means.

However, now, those arguably dark days are behind him. He was a larger-than-life little boy, but now he’s all grown up and has an interesting life story to tell. Learn more about what Little Hercules has been up to in the last few years — and what his new crazy passion is — below.

He made the news years ago for his muscular physique.

Remember this guy?

His body was unlike any other eight-year-olds — and for that matter, most adults.

He was known as "Little Hercules."

There’s no telling just how much Little Hercules worked out at the gym.

His father was his weightlifting coach.

Particularly his father, who was accused of pushing him too hard. As an adult, he recalls eating lettuce while his father ate a pizza in front of him. Still, he now claims that he was never forced to do anything against his will.

Of course, he came under much criticism.

Even Hulk Hogan was intimidated by his muscles.

As a result of his fame, Little Hercules got to meet some of his heroes.

Seriously, this is like a grown man’s body on an eight-year-old.

Have you ever seen a kid so ripped?

Yes, that’s right: Little Hercules became Richard Sandrak.

His look was definitely unusual, but eventually, he put weightlifting aside.

His father went to jail for domestic violence and that’s when Sandrak quit the heavy artillery at the gym.

But he still produced some exercise technique videos for YouTube.
