Building deltoids, adding proportions to abs, training muscles, and following a disciplined workout regime, the bodybuilding universe demands a hoard of effort and an uphill battle to achieve a ripped physique. Nonetheless, because of its tough grind, bodybuilding is not child’s play, right? Well, Cacauzinho, a 12-year-old boy from Brazil, defied age and astounded everyone with his muscular prowess. Now, because of his incredible physique, Cacauzinho is recognized as the mini monster of the fitness industry and is hailed by many for his lean stature.

In fact, the Brazilian bodybuilder became the epitome of an idol figure for many fitness enthusiasts.
