This is insane. Eddie mentioned wanting to do 500kg when he broke Bennidikt Magnusson's world record a year or two ago, like 460 kg. And I thought "nah, probably not gonna happen, or if it does, it'll be 10 years from now."
I remember Eddie Hall breaking into the Strongman scene as a rookie. It's been unreal watching him accomplish these feats in such a short period of time.

He's unaesthetic tho
>dat form
Fucking mirin'
He held it at the top, too. Way longer than he needed to, to technically break (shatter) the record. Just to make the point. Always the showman, Eddie.
Oftentimes in strongman, you see guys getting bloody noses from deadlifts. The strain pops blood vessels in the sinuses. But after this lift, Eddie had blood coming from his nose, and his mouth.
Absolutely insane feat. I didn't think it would happen, and I've been a fan of Eddies for awhile.
Here's his youtube channel, although he hasn't been active this last year.

Strongman competitors don't really train for aesthetics
>Strength
>Aesthetics
Choose one.
With very few exceptions (like Pudzianowski), aesthetic people are never truly strong
>tfw struggling with a 335lbs 1 rep and see this
Feels bad.
>Post once-in-a-century feat of strength
>Veeky Forums can only interpret this from the perspective of male beauty pageants
You guys realize this is effeminate of you, right?
How'd he fair at the olympics? Sold my telly at the new year
>inb4 he wasn't strong
Would rather look like this person and deadlift three plate desu
Compared to today's strength athletes, his numbers are not impressive.
But hey it's like that with all disciplines. Who knows how the drug aspect is influencing the increasing performances, as well.
>white-blonde icelandic hair
Nice
Wouldn't you rather just have self esteem and self confidence regardless of what you looked like, or how much weight you lifted?
pounds or kg?
>Wouldn't you rather just have self esteem and self confidence regardless of what you looked like, or how much weight you lifted?
Where do you think you are
lbs means "pounds" in burgerstan
I strongly disagree (no homo)
It's because you are gay.
You realize how pointless and immature lifting for strength is right?
You think it makes you look cultured but it doesn't.
If you don't have anything to do with your sttength other than show it off, you are worse than aesthetics-fags because you are unhealthy.
Hall is 28
