印度肌肉男——“罗密欧”阿迪特亚·戴夫只有2英尺9英寸高(约合85厘米),是世界上最小的健美先生。

Romeo said: "I’ve been training as a bodybuilder for the last two years and by now I think I must be the strongest dwarf in the world.

"When he first started, I insisted he did a month of basic exercises like aerobics, push-ups and basic gymnastics to prepare his body.
“他刚开始练习的时候,我坚持他应该做一个月的基本练习,比如有氧操、俯卧撑以及一些基本体操动作,为后面的练习做准备。
"After that, I made lightweight dumbbells and taught him basic weight-lifting exercises to shape his biceps and triceps. His size and his weight were taken care of so that he never hurt himself."
