Lumpia Powered 7-Year-Old Powerlifter Goes Viral
7 YEAR OLD POWERLIFTER – In today’s time, our obsession with Lumpia has grown to exponential heights.
However, it seems like our love for the dish isn’t without its own merits. Apparently, you could get super strength from it.
A Filipino-American weightlifter named Jordan Mica went viral after his powerlifting videos were uploaded. What’s more impressive about this is that he’s only 7-years-old.
In the video clips, you could see the 7-year-old powerlifter lifting weights as heavy as 126 lbs. Even people who go to the gym often couldn’t handle that much.
During an interview with Balitang Abroad, Jordan’s father who is also a powerlifter said that his son was into the sport when he was just 2 years old. He added that Jordan would pick up the bar and play with it.
Jordan’s father also stated that it was naturally for kids to do what they see their parents doing. And for Jordan, that would be powerlifting.
When he was asked about where he gets his remarkable strength, Jordan simply gave the credit to his never-ending love for Lumpia. He even made his own team called “Team Lumpia & Deadlifts”.
Aside from Lumpia, he said that he’s also fueled by his drive to constantly push and improve himself. He added that he loved entering competitions to challenge himself.
Naturally, people were concerned about the risks that powerlifting may have on children of Jordan’s age. However, his father said that there’s no need to worry because he and his other kids started young as well.
“I have two older kids that have grown up just fine, who have both started lifting when they were younger. I started lifting when I was younger.
And when you look at a lot of the strength athletes today, a lot of them did start when they were younger.“
