英國12歲男孩舉重140公斤破紀錄

British schoolboy Kyle Kane has been crowned the world's strongest 12-year-old after lifting a 22-stone Weight at a junior bodybuilding event.

The youngster smashed the previous record by over five stone after he hoisted a 308lb weight in one clean lift.

At 5ft 7ins and 10.5 stone he is already twice the size of most boys his age and has muscles to rival that of most men.

The Coventry schoolboy broke the record for his age during a charity bodybuilding event at the Standard Triumph Club in his hometown on Sunday.

Prior to his attempt, the World Association of Benchers and Dead Lifters World Record dead lift for a 12-year-old was 236lb, set by an American youngster.

Nicknamed Little Arnie after musclemen Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kyle now trains in the gym four times a week and can shift 600lb (272kg) with his legs, 309lb (140kg) deadweight and bench-press 200lb (90kg).

He started kickboxing when he was four-years-old and became a black belt by the age of nine. He began weightlifting when he was 10.

When he is not training, Kyle enjoys playing with his school friends at Grace Academy where his favourite subjects are History and PE.

Kyle said he hopes one day to become an Olympic weightlifter and bring gold back to Britain.

He said: "I just want to be as muscley as I can be.

"Hopefully one day I can train in the Olympics or compete in the World's Strongest Man but failing that I'd like to be a professional bodybuilder like my dad.

"People may think I've been pushed into weightlifting, but I wouldn't do anything I didn't want to do, I do this because I love it.

英國一個名叫凱爾•凱恩的12歲男孩在一次青少年健身活動中舉起22英石（140公斤）的重量，被稱爲“世界最強壯的12歲男孩”。

凱爾在此次活動中一次舉起了308磅的重量，超過此前紀錄保持者5英石。

凱爾身高5英尺7英寸（170釐米），體重10.5英石（67.2公斤），是大多數同齡男孩體型的兩倍，而且他的肌肉和大多數成年男子一樣發達。

這個來自考文垂的男孩於上週日在其家鄉“標準勝利俱樂部”舉行的一次慈善健身活動中一舉打破了12歲年齡組的舉重紀錄。

在凱爾之前，世界舉重和硬舉協會12歲年齡組的硬舉紀錄是由一個美國男孩創下的236磅。

凱爾因爲有着和（美國加州州長）阿諾德•施瓦辛格一樣發達的肌肉，被人們稱爲“小阿尼”。凱爾現在一週在健身房訓練四次，他可以用腿挪動600磅的重物，能夠舉起309磅（140公斤）的重量，並能臥推200磅（90公斤）的重量。

凱爾四歲時開始練跆拳道，在九歲前就成爲黑帶級（譯者注：即高段）選手，並在十歲時開始舉重。

在不訓練時，凱爾喜歡和格雷斯學院的同學們一起玩耍，他在學校裏最喜歡的課程是歷史和體育。

凱爾說他希望自己有一天能參加奧運會，爲英國奪金牌爭光。

他說：“我只是希望能把肌肉練得發達一些“。

“希望有朝一日我能參加奧運會或者參加“世界最強壯男人”評選比賽，如果這些都無法實現，我想像我爸爸一樣成爲一名職業健美運動者。

“人們也許認爲我是被迫去練習舉重的，其實我不會做任何我不想做的事，我做這件事是因爲我喜歡。”
