Too young?
That's what some are saying, as 14-year-old Cosmo Taylor makes headlines as the world's youngest competitive body builder.
Taylor comes from a family of fitness enthusiasts, and started training three years ago at age 11.
He spends one hour each day lifting weights, as well as regular cardio work before school, reports the Telegraph.
"The gym is my life," Cosmo told the Telegraph. "I love lifting and I love the buzz I get when I hit a personal best or see growth in my muscles. At the moment, I weigh 73kg, but eventually I want to hit around 90-95kg."
Cosmo's dad is also a bodybuilder.
My dad has always been my inspiration - ever since I was a little boy, all I've wanted to do is step on stage," Cosmo said.
"Dad has encouraged me every step of the way - he's my coach, my gym buddy and my training partner.
"My friends at school are fascinated by my physique because most of them haven't started going to the gym yet," Cosmo added. "They ask me questions all day long about how to get bigger arms and how to pump up your chest.
Some of my male teachers laugh and joke about how they'd love to have a body like mine too."
With the wave of headlines, comes the negative feedback from people who are saying Cosmo is too young to be bodybuilding.
Do you agree, or do you think he is a good influence on other children his age?
