Naomi Kutin looks and acts like the typical 10-year-old, but her passion is in power lifting.

A YouTube video shot last week shows Kutin dead lifting 215 pounds. Kutin is a world-class power lifter, who first set the record last July.

Some medical experts worry about the health of youngsters doing this kind of workout.  The thinking by these doctors is that children have growing bones and too much pressure can break surrounding growth plates and lead to intense pain as an adult.

Her parents are not worried.  They say Naomi has perfect form.

Her dad held the world record in his weight class, dead lifting 617 pounds. Her little brother is 9 years old and can squat 176 pounds.
