What do you guys think about this kid?

**Seaoro693** · 04-09-2002, 07:18 AM

To make a long post short check this kid out www.craigproductions.com/RichardS.htm . Do you think this kid is on AS, just a genetic freak, or even a product of hard work? The pics on the site are a little old and his body is actually alot more devloped.

**D00fy** · 04-09-2002, 07:26 AM

oh not that little herb again

**ravaz** · 04-09-2002, 07:31 AM

I don't know what to say about that kid. But he sure does need a hair cut lol.

**THE DON** · 04-09-2002, 07:40 AM

could u imagine what hes gonna look like at 16

**Tankass** · 04-09-2002, 07:47 AM

Seriously... How about 20ish if he hits AS. I think people might forget who Ronnie Coleman was....

**xplicit** · 04-09-2002, 07:52 AM

I seen him on stern, This kid is going to be so psychologocally messed up in the head by the time hes 13 hes going to end up killing himself or droping dead from all the crap hes puttin in his body at a young age so his daddy can turn him into a profit. You got to let kids have a normal life thats not a normal life there deprieving the kid of being a kid.

xplicit i totally agree.

**xplicit** · 04-09-2002, 08:06 AM

I felt bad for the kid, also the whole getting taught at home hting doesnt work to well college math my ass. The kid looked braindead on stern

**HARDCORE** · 04-09-2002, 08:59 AM

I am absolutely disgusted at what this kid is being put through. I saw him on Stern as well, and couldn't believe what I saw. This kid is using heavy weights, and he's going to stunt his growth and end up being 4 feet tall. I think his parents and trainers should be ashamed.

**G-PIG** · 04-09-2002, 09:13 AM

oh not that little herb again

quoted by D00fy, dude thats what we say about you lol, jj bro

this kid is gross, i bet he will be 4 foot 6 for the rest of his life

**Nico** · 04-09-2002, 09:30 AM

Poor kid. His parents should be ashamed of themselves for brainwashing him and putting him through all this bs.
I agrre with BigSus, this is child abuse!!!!!

LOL

He's gonna be this same height that he's now HAHA

**HalOd03** · 04-09-2002, 09:55 AM

yea they already have him on all types of supplements, and strict diets...i mean let the kid be a kid, ya know.

**rangerdudeleads** · 04-09-2002, 10:07 AM

I wouldnt be suprised if they have him on a cycle or have done one in past.

**jleighty17** · 04-09-2002, 11:22 AM

i dont think there is much difference between this and what they do with gymnists i think if the kid enjoys it let him do it. and before anyone says anything we dont know if he enjoys it or not.
but no one can deny this kid is amazing.
another ezample is tiger woods did u say that he was abused as a child because his dad gave him a golf club and had him golfing at 2
before anyone starts flaming me just a different point of view to talk about i dont agree with everything that was just said lol

**Naturally Anabolic** · 04-09-2002, 11:29 AM

i don't know what they got him supplementing on but i have NEVER seen a kid that ripped and i question his health as he hits puberty...his metabolism is gunna be fucked beyond belief and i hope to god that is all naturally produced...otherwise say hello to the most ripped midget

**broncojosh** · 04-09-2002, 11:37 AM

wow. it's impressive what they have done with an 8 year old body...but this isn't something that should be played with. It's an 8 year old LITTLE BOY!! You want to talk about doing damage, this is rediculous. It's one thing to want your kid in shape...keeping him in sports etc, but to have him weight training at that point in his lift is INSANE. Fucking pissed at the moment

**xplicit** · 04-09-2002, 11:57 AM

He is taking protein supplements they said hes the youngest person ever to be endoresed by a supplement company. He doesnt eat meat casue he likes the animals lol see what a sweet kid and you got to go and fuck his body up for some money thats terrible. THe trainers are jerks one is a fat jerk who knows nothing the other is a women come on a women should have some common sense and ends this crap before they do more damage to the kid. The father is a retard who is all into fitness the poor kid has no life now and chances are as sad as it may be wont have too much of a life later on when they find all these htigns wrong with him

**Iron horse** · 04-09-2002, 01:17 PM

I don't see how he could be naturaly.. there'd be more than just one case.

what kid wants to workout and train like that at 8???

**Big Rush** · 04-09-2002, 02:00 PM

He's probaly on 10mg of Anavar ED...LOL...Tha's so phucked up

**9natural9** · 04-09-2002, 02:05 PM

Seen this on the Stern show, sad really.

**Vegas Kid** · 04-09-2002, 02:32 PM

It's sad that this kid has to go thru all this shit. If he didn't like it he could probably whoop his parents ass so he musht like it. As for his health, I'm no doctor but that can't be healthy. I give him 10 years until his heart gives out on him and he dies. Reminds me of little girls in beauty pagents. I really doubt he is in college math unless Leap Frog made some technological advances I don't know about.

By the way...... Joe Dirt called..... he want his mullett back!!

**jersey juice** · 04-09-2002, 02:33 PM

If the kid is natural and enjoys doing it, then more power to him. I was into working out when I was 8, not like that, but I played football and played with my brothers weights when he wasn't around. If the kid is being pressured to do it and is being given pharmaceuticals then his parents and trainers should be thrown in jail for child abuse. If he's all nat though, he will be a true freak when he grows up, if he's not he'll never grow up.

**xplicit** · 04-09-2002, 09:13 PM

He benches 200 pounds he has to be on something i dont think a child body can be that defined that early. Im no doctor but i dont think that body can get that cut with out taking at least supplements which for an 8yr isnt the greatest thing to be doing

**Dizzy** · 04-09-2002, 09:24 PM

he benches 200lbs??!!! no way man. that kid is kind of freaky...and i don't mean in a good way

**xplicit** · 04-09-2002, 09:37 PM

the riplys kid is the same kid im almost postive casue the mentioend that lil herc was on it. Also you bring up a good point about wroking out but 200 pounds at that size and age cant be too healty he lifts 4x his body size. Also the mental part is the worse thign getting abused here this poor kids childhood isnt even a childhood. When stern was asking him questions like does he sleep over kids houses does he play bseball is he in school the trainer was answering for him and the kid looked all puzzeled and nervous.

**solidbomb** · 04-09-2002, 09:38 PM

there is no fucking way he isnt on somethin,200 lbs 8 yrs old come on this is ridiculous

**eradikate** · 04-09-2002, 09:46 PM

he's 200lbs????? 8yrs old???? that's some fucked up shit mang

**xplicit** · 04-09-2002, 09:53 PM

oh no my bad i meant hes benching 200 pounds lol sorry typo
i dont know his weight

**devilscabanaboy19** · 04-09-2002, 10:22 PM

I met this kid when I went to the NPC Nationals in Vegas in 2000. Let me tell you he sounds like he has a serious speech impediment. You couldn't understand shit the kid said. I also wounldn't doubt if he had a learning disability. I think his folks should be concentrating on his schooling and not his training. Which by the way is totally insane, there's no way in hell the kid should be doing squats with heavy weight at that age.

**EXCESS** · 04-09-2002, 11:16 PM

His dad is a fucking loser!

**RON** · 04-09-2002, 11:48 PM

As a parent I am totally pissed that this can be allowed to happen and nothing is done about it. I will not let my son OR daughter touch weights till he/she is a teen. I am just completely disgusted by this. That kid should be taken from his parents and put in a safer environment

**jammergsxr** · 04-10-2002, 01:12 AM

Damn guys,maybe the kid is naturally gifted!If he likes what he's doing more power to him.I really doubt any gear is involved,you can bet child welfare is all over it!!If the kid is on supplements I'm willing to bet there is a DR. behind him making sure everythings cool!You know for a bunch of guys using gear I'd figure on more support.What I see is a major athlete that is going to set new standards and records.Maybe he is a little slow or has a speech prob. I know alot of kids who do and grow out of it,at least this kids got a chance at some serious cash instead of flipping burgers.When he's 16,6'6 and a wall of muscle,no ones gonna call him stupid or make fun of the way he talks.

**Vegas Kid** · 04-10-2002, 05:47 AM

He'll never make it to 16 if he keeps taking all that shit. I'm a true believer that the body will develop on it's own at that age and all this artificial influence will surely do him harm.

47 John: I don't think there is anything wrong with lifting your own body weight by doing pull ups and push ups, but when you start adding heavy weights to your routine, I'm pretty sure it affects your growth. I'll try and find some articles to prove my point. Maybe somebody with more medical knowledge than I can weigh in on the subject.

**Iron Brother 89** · 04-10-2002, 06:36 AM

Well time will tell if they are really messing this kid up. And you can bet your ass his parents will sue when it happens ! The parents make out either way . This is so wrong ! It disgusts me !!

**xplicit** · 04-10-2002, 07:57 AM

Iron brother makes a good point and i think the parents realize that there in a win-win situtation even thought the kid may not be. If this kid turns into a vegatable by 16 the parents will soon the supplements companies the doctors who checked him out and the trainers. If the kid makes out good health wise then thell be making a ton of money and the kid cant touch his own money till 18 so i bet he wont have as much as hes planning to have by that tiem cause if the parents are fucked up enought to go andm make this kid do lal these weight im sure theyll skeem on his bank account. Not like the kid will know anyone cause he doesnt seem to smart by that time the only numbers hell know are 45 plates and 100 pound dumb bells

**quasar** · 04-10-2002, 08:34 AM

isn't the kid foreign. cuz when i heard him talk i thought he was from another country. that would explain the speech impediment. but it is still sad about all the shit he is being put through.

**jersey juice** · 04-10-2002, 09:00 AM

Why doesn't child welfare just do a on the spot drug test and clear it all up. With as much publicity as this kid receives, I'm sure him & his parents are being watched by some agency. Why don't they just find out for sure. If the kid is on gear it's clearly child abuse, BUT if he's natural he'll be Weider's main attraction in 10 years.

**Yung Wun** · 04-10-2002, 02:21 PM

this is the same kid on ripelys
its disgusting how his parents allow him to be like this
no way in hell this kid is natural, there would be more little kids comming forward, but this is the only one. I feel sorry for this kid, and i think i did hear something about his learning capabilites being hindered. a yung yute doing this at such a young age come on!!!

**big N** · 04-10-2002, 03:43 PM

that kid is sick.its the same kid from ripleys,stern and i think flex or something had a big wrightup about him.i think his parentsw are russian immigrants .the kid on stern was pretty amazing,balancing martial arts and they said hes in college levels.but he seemed pretty puzzled or not there on the show.i remember reading they asked him if his fav. food was pizza and he said he never treid it before.anout the 200 lbs press i dontremeber about that ,but if its true it sinsane.i am truley stumped if hes natural or juiced up.if the kid likes to doit so be it but if the parents are ding this without his own will then they should be shot.like was said this is a important time in that kids life hes not even allowed to be a kid.do kid stuff .thats fucked up.he will emotionaly fucked up in a couple of years.
