In 2000, eight-year-old Richard Sandrak shocked the world with his incredible bodybuilder physique. Trained up by his fitness fanatic dad from the age of three, he was unofficially recognised as the strongest child in the world. Since then he has disappeared from the public eye.
As well as finding Richard, Mark wants to track down the next generation of super-strong children vying to succeed him, and find out why some parents will defy medical advice to train up their kids from such a young age.
Mark's search takes him from a controversial child weightlifting contest in America, to an Olympic weightlifting boarding school established in the former Soviet Union, and on to the nightclubs of the Ukraine, where he discovers a family of girls trained up from birth to perform in a circus strongman act.
