Fitness guru Joe Wicks dad-shamed as he sparks concern with shock picture of his baby | The Sun
JOE Wicks has left his followers gobsmacked with the latest picture of his daughter Leni.
The fitness guru, 37, posted a snap of the seven-month-old dangling from a metal bar all on her own – leaving fans questioning if it was photoshopped.
In the picture, Joe is seen proudly looking up at his little one, who doesn’t appear to have any trouble hanging from the bar on the beach in Santa Monica.
Babies are in fact born with a monkey-strength grip, call the Palmer grasp, which means they can hold their own body weight.
However the image is still striking and Joe’s fans rushed to comment on it, with many not impressed.
One person asked him: “Is that safe for her shoulders and joints to hang onto bars supporting her own weight like that?”

A fifth raged: “I hope that’s photoshopped! Publicity stunt! I’ve always liked you Joe but I really hope this is a stunt.”
