Bodybuilder finds love with 6'3'-tall transgender woman
As the only man in the world to lift four times his own body weight, Anton Kraft is pound-for-pound the strongest man in the world.
The 4'4' dwarf, who resides in Florida, has lifted as much as 36 stone.
With women, he is no less ambitious.
Kraft , 52, only dates women who are more than a foot taller than he is. For the past six months he has been dating 6'3' China Bell.
Bell, 43, who was born male and has since transitioned, admits she was unsure when he first asked her out but was quickly bowled over by his weightlifting skills.

It's love: Anton Kraft, from Denmark, has found love with China Bell, a transgender woman from Florida
Enamored: Bell, right, says she was bowled over by Kraft's record-breaking weightlifting abilities
'I'm different and he's different, and where we're from, different is good.'
In 10 years of power lifting, Kraft claims to have the highest bench press record of all time for his weight class.
But it seems he may have pushed his body too far.
He says he has 'technically died' five times before being resuscitated - ranging from drowning to falling out of a window.
Happy: As he strives to break another record, having already lifted 36 stone, Kraft says Bell is his inspiration
Adored: He is something of a celebrity on the bodybuilding scene, pictured here at a convention
Preparing: Here he is pictured with two workout partners at a gym in Homestead, Florida, where he trains
Doctors also fear he may have a heart attack if he keeps up his all-action lifestyle.
Kraft is undeterred.
'Some people say that what I do is weakness, or micro-man syndrome - that I want to do something that I am not built for, to prove something,' he said.
'But I believe there's only one winner - second is first loser. Second doesn't count.
'Overall, I am one of the five strongest guys in the world, regardless of height and weight.
'And I am the only guy in the world who has ever benched four-times his body weight.'
