This is one of the original photos of Richard that went viral.

Richard was just six years old at the time of the pictures.

Richard was born in Ukraine in 1992.

His parents, Pavel and Lena, were a martial arts world champ and an aerobics instructor respectively. The family moved to the United States when Richard was two.

Richard’s parents gave their son a workout program.

It started with stretching and aerobics, but quickly progressed to light weight training.

After moving to California, the Sandraks met a trainer.

The Sandraks wanted to get their son into show business, so they hired trainer Frank Giardina to bulk up Richard – and raise publicity.
