I figure he weighs like 50-60lbs so yeah that's well below average on proportional strength I would think although I don't really have any basis for comparison...

From Wikipedia: Aditya Dev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aditya_Dev)

Aditya 'Romeo' Dev is a body builder with dwarfism made famous by being reported in the UK press in February 2008.[1] Romeo can shoulder press custom made 1.5kg dumbbells, a notable feat given his 9kg (20 lbs.) body weight and 2' 9" stature.[2] Although it has not been published in a Guinness World Records book, in 2006 they recognized him to be the "world's smallest bodybuilder".[3]

Unlike many dwarfs, Romeo is well proportioned, having a head of 15 inches and a chest of 20 inches. He maintains his toned body by putting in long hours with his trainer Ranjeet Pal.[4]

Romeo enjoys great fame in his home country and makes many appearances on local television to show off his dancing abilities.[2] In addition to bodybuilding, Romeo's dream is to travel extensively as an entertainer and dancer. One day he hopes to perform in London with his idol Jazzy B.[1]

In summer of 2008, Aditya was diagnosed with aneurysms which, if left untreated, are a serious threat to his life. Aneurysms and Moyamoya are common symptoms of the syndrome MOPD II, which is the cause of Aditya's small stature.[5]

And another YT video about him:

that video is really interesting, had a terrible start to his life. He sounds like one of those little dolls who talk but their batteries have gone flat.
