I would be smiling like a kid getting spun on shoulders.Ā When I was 21 a had a roommate who was a big dude, and some other pretty big friends.Ā I used to love to get them to pick me up and spin me.Ā Friendly strong people aren't scary, they keep me safe š.Ā Yeah....I definitely used to run my mouth at people around them.
Walk in to the new Gym, feeling good about your first day. rotate your shoulders a few times, swing your arms across your body loosening up a big feeling confident then you here a behemoth of a man say "Hey weights, hurry up and get over here I'm trying to get my reps in"
You look around for a second looking for what he could possible be talking about "Did I stutter weights? Get over here" All you can do is just try your best to look cool while the man lifts you...repeatedly...with one arm"

500kg deadlift is just on another level.
Something very similar happened to me my first day at my high school gym. I was in 8th grade and played football, but my older brother played football for the high school team so he talked the coaches into letting me come work out with the high school. I walked in the first day and our terrifying, yoked up 300 lb thick black defensive line coach stuck his hand in my chest, pressed me one handed straight up above his head and said, "yo brotha said you don't like black people"
Dood no lie back in the mid 2000s I had a Y membership with my buddy and we see these two doods with big ass stomachs lifting just crazy sht. 1 rep 2 rep whatever. Before I know it we got bro climbing onto the other guys back bent over doing calf raises......move over to squat and I think he put on like 500lbs and crashed the weights. These people exist.
Itās just a field full of five foot one people.
āI see itās tossing season again at Hall Farmsā.
*looks up and sees a five foot tall person flying overhead*
He has said in an interview that he's very low in a hormone that limits the amount of muscle that your body allows to stay on your frame
Doesn't discount the work but he is indeed built different
you are talking about myostatin. Iām pretty sure he isnāt telling the whole truth cause the amount of people with that deficiency are very rare and itās usually very debilitating. Probably an amazing combination of genetics, hard work, and gear. He is still in a league of his own regardless.
The interview I saw was him talking about his genetics, he had them mapped (potentially the wrong word) or something and the discovered he had a gene that cows have that promotes huge muscles growth.
https://youtu.be/_JSgm1-TGRQ
Here is a video from Eddie's channel on it.
https://youtu.be/6WgO_i0L_H4
There was also this one were a dude advertising himself as a doctor discusses it.
Haven't watched it myself though. But seriously, who gives a fuck.
Look at the man, he is clearly a genetic freak of nature, there has to be some reason for that. Why not just take it for what it is and accept the reason he gives.
Yeah people saying itās just juice forget that no other steroid user can do what Eddie can. So even if heās on gear he clearly has some other genetic advantage over the competition. Might as well be the one he mentioned himself
Like every other strongman he's using steroids and all other kind of peds, that's no secret.
But he still has a myostatin deficiency on top of it. There are pictures of him at 16 and he already had a ton of muscles. And when he was preparing for his box fight with Hafthor he couldn't get rid of all the muscle mass eventhough he tried.
Just checked out the video and the Menās Health article. Very interesting that people like this exist. He seems to have almost no negative side effects of it also. WHY WASNT IT ME š lol
Watched a documentary on Eddie, his doctor basically told him he'd die of heart failure sooner rather than later if he kept all the mass he had when he won the World's Strongest Man comp. He was almost 400lbs! Absolutely insane.
>the amount of people with that deficiency are very rare
The dude was the first person ever to deadlift 500kg, he's operating in "very rare" territory.
Zero question he's on gear and worked incredibly hard also.
He was also an elite level swimmer for great Britain and can still swim extremely fast 400m at an enormously high body weight. Iām not even kidding.
https://youtu.be/6CY3puQ_D0A?si=fBITz74nFWBCf181
I don't think gear is even a relevant call-out for Eddie Hall
There's a million guys using steroids and how many of them are doing this? He's pretty special
You're right. He's the best in a field where everyone is on gear, and whether it's some genetic disposition or hard work he's the strongest of them all.
Though I just saw a video of him with a climber who is literally less than half his size who could almost row as much as Eddie, that dude is a fucking freak. Like, rowing twice his size *in each hand* at 70 kilos. Absolute insanity and Eddie was flabbergasted. [here's a link](https://youtu.be/dZYoDnJjtGE?si=tMfogU0TOtJusf8L). Magnus might just be pound for pound the strongest human on the planet and I'm not sure he's even juiciy. Insanity.
Don't fall for that BS. These guys are all using gear. And those that don't admit it always have some hyper-unlikely cover story to convince you they aren't using gear. That's not to say they get like this without hard work, they don't. It's just that hard work without gear won't produce results like this. In addition, you also need the genetics to be world class. Hall is an amazing person. He's just not a "natural" person.
Well in absolute peak it is gear + good genes + lots of work. Eg I could eat god awful amount of steroids and train hard but probably could only deadlift something like 300kg which is a lot but nothing compared to Eddie Hall.
we are actually.
that's how we used to hunt animals, not by running faster then them, but by outlasting them.
a human can pretty much walk forever if he is fit enough compared to an animal, so as long as you had decent tracking skills, or managed to injure an animal, you would almost always catch it.
Because it's inefficient. Eddy Hall needs to eat the calories of 5 adult men and spend much of his day working out those calories or else he'll grow fat. But he can't stop eating so much because his baseline metabolism demands it to support so much mass.
Now ask yourself, can he do the work of 5 adult men in a tribal setting? Will he hunt 5x more meat than one man? Gather 5x more nuts and berries? Sew 5x more cloaks for winter? Milk 5x more cows?
The only advantage of a man that big in a survival setting is beating the shit out of other men in melee combat, which is a rare occurence, not something that happens day to day. And even then, it's debatable how he'd do against 5 guys with spears.
His body type is an outlier that can only exist comfortably with the advent of civilization, and we've only had farming for 12,000 years, a blip in the span of evolutionary history.
Magnus has very specialized strength. He has been one of Norway's best rock climbers for most of his life. He can do things like two finger pull-ups, one arm muscle-ups. He outperformed both jujimufu and Larry Wheels on back exercises (another great video btw). But of course if you put him on something like leg exercises he gets nowhere (he gets a lot farther than almost everyone of the general population), because that's not important for climbing so that's not what he trains.
Magnus is also bulkier/stronger than a lot of other pro climbers actually even during his prime. Most climbers actually thought he was too bulky/heavy. He's a genetic freak even among elite climbers in terms of how strong he is.
I have recently gotten into way better shape and my whole body feels different. I physically feel stronger and more solid. I canāt imagine that Eddie feels like though, itās like he is walking around in the hulks body. His shoulder press is so isolated and controlled itās crazy.
I could see how you might think this but itās incorrect. The guy in black is flying and pulling up on the arm to give the illusion that Hall is a strong man
To add to the accomplishment, he broke the record by like 35kg which is absurd. Typically records, specifically lifting records, are broken by a kg or two at a time at most.
HafĆ¾Ć³r JĆŗlĆus Bjƶrnsson broke the record by lifting 501 during COVID lockdown, but to this day since Eddie broke the record in 2016, only two men in history have lifted 500+kg
Its truly a astonishing feat, and now heās a content creator lol
I used to go to the same gym as Eddie and there is nothing in this world that could motivate someone to lift heavy shit as much as watching Eddie rip absolutely monstrous weights off the ground.
When he was training for the 500kg he was doing speed reps of around 450kg in the gym. Crazy. Repping out 250kg on the bench too. Lovely guy as well - would always stop for a chat with anyone in the gym.
Yes he can, and more.
[His 200kg strict shoulder press is probably the most impressive I've seen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuSKa26HNmo)
[Didn't know he held the previous WR of 216kg only broken by 1kg so far](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stk1jw1pT3A&t=1s)
He might be the only person in human history to be able to lift himself. I mean, if I have to believe in a human that could do that, that would be him lol
Wdym? Shoulder pressing your own weight isn't impossible, it's probably a bit on the advanced side but very doable. Unless I'm inferring your statement incorrectly ofc
Ah okay. Weirdly, that reminds me of that gif where the dude sticks a piece of bread with butter on the top of a falling cat and generates infinite energy.
I've done 80kg for 1 rep (more than my bw) and felt like a fucking beast. I do 60x5 regularly. But it's tough yeah and take a lot of technique to get used to it. Love it.
Most **trained** adult males can't overhead press 70kg. You don't see a lot of people pressing over 50kg (or 25kg dumbbells) unless they've had a lot of training. This is a hell of a feat, but Eddie Hall is built different
Most of them prioritize bench over OHP if they're even doing OHP at all.
Most men could be pressing 70kg within 2 years of training if they made it a priority.
I don't have what you would call a robust response to training and I can do this. it's attainable for a lot of people within the first year of training IMO
add on how unstable it is to grab a squirming man by his shirt is, making it that much harder. if it was a dumbell instead, it would be like a warmup for him
Shoulder press is insanely hard. When i was training alot and and in the top few % strength wise( among general population, not lifters...) i was doing 70kg for 10 reps or so with a clean overhead press with bith arms.
Doubling that , doing it easily like that and with the insane added difficulty of a wiggling uneven weight you have to stabilize... its really fucking hard.
>doing it easily like that and with the insane added difficulty of a wiggling uneven weight you have to stabilize... its really fucking hard.
For sure. Something to keep in mind is form and how big the person lifting is. [Eddie's listed at 360+ lbs, so a 70kg lift would be considered intermediate (with both hands), and anything over 280 lbs is elite (with both hands - which, surprise, surprise, is where he falls in).](https://www.trainermetrics.com/fitness-assessment-calculations/1rm-overhead-press/)
That's if you were actually super dedicated and locked in to do powerlifting. You rarely see anyone doing 40kg per arm presses unless theyre literally the biggest guy there.
Do you mean onehanded? Cuz if you press 40kg with both hands over head when you have trained
for some years as a male and you find it hard, either something is wrong with you or you have trained like a complete bozo
I can still do this with my 12 yo - I figure if I keep lifting hard, I'll be able to keep up till she's an adult. I can do 50kg one handed for a few reps if I give a little pop with my legs.
I can't be the only one who thought of the [Cyanide and Happiness skit](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=upTfaNDyquw&pp=ygUZY3lhbmlkZSBhbmQgaGFwcGluZXNzIGd5bQ%3D%3D)
Imagine going to your first day at the gym and this happens to you š¤£
I'd shit myself crying put me down
.
Lol that had me rollingĀ
God this guy has the ugliest death face
I mean, it *was* after a severe car accident and a bunch of reconstructive surgery in the 1970's to that side of his face. Sooooo, I kinda get it.
Oh damn
TIL
That's why they had the scene at the start of Empire. To account for the injuries on his face.
Iād shit myself crying pick me up

Half the twinks at my gym would have an erection.
That would make a better handle for Eddie
This is what's called the Bƶglyft.
That's disgusting... what gym? Where? Y'know. So I can avoid all the twinks.
Oh, those disgusting twink gyms. I mean there's so many of them, though. Which one? Which one did he go to?
Hmm
given the smile he had on his face every time it rubbed against that guy's bicep I think he does too
š
I'm not a twink but I have an erection watching this video.

What does a steel bar weigh?

āI donāt get it, how is this making me stronger?ā
3 more sets, kid
Itās so exciting that it counts as cardio

Yeah he was just messing with me
You're the dumbbell now asshole!

"don't go anywhere I have two more sets"
holy fuck....
I'd be sweating more just from being lifted with one arm LOL the human hulk over here
As a 5"1 woman, this makes me hella nervous! Man would pitch me across a field like a goddamn football.
As a 5'1 man it doesn't even matter, he'd throw both of us across a foot all field lmao
You shorties just need one more and then Eddie can juggle you!
Can we get paid for this?
I'd pay to see that.

There are other steroid users who have also won world strongest man
Yeah but worlds strongest man is also partly an more general athletics competition, if it was pure strength it seems like he would be goated as fuck.
Eddie had to get to the brink of death to achieve what he did. Other people have broken his records since, without almost dying.
> he is clearly a genetic freak of nature, there has to be some reason for that. AND IT SPELLS DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACREFISE
They say All men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true
Eddie "The Exaggerator" Hall says it is, so it must be.
Like every other strongman he's using steroids and all other kind of peds, that's no secret. But he still has a myostatin deficiency on top of it.

Itās like Lance Armstrong. Yes heās on drugs, but so is everyone else. Heās just still the best of all of them on drugs.
You are correct this dude works hard as fuck for sure.
he spent months imagining the worst shit happening to his family to give him the strength to get the deadlift wr, built different indeed.
what the fuck lmao
Who's that one dude who's brother died young and used it to get insane lifts, I can't remember his name but he was all over fit a few years ago

Insane that he has enough shoulder flexibility with all of that bulk to do such a smooth stroke Freak of nature kind of athlete
Wasnt it that he has a certain gene that allows for faster and more muscle growth? The Hercules gene or some shit
The gear also helps
I don't think gear is even a relevant call-out for Eddie Hall There's a million guys using steroids and how many of them are doing this? He's pretty special
You're right. He's the best in a field where everyone is on gear, and whether it's some genetic disposition or hard work he's the strongest of them all.

I mean nobody has ever denied anyone competing at his level isn't on gear LMAO
Every single strong man fan knows that the guys are all on gear... we just don't care, one bit.
Why the fuck do we have that hormone, that's such a nerf
Because we are long distance runners more than we are bodybuilders
> we are long distance runners we? I don't have that shit either this whole thing is broken

Ya seen Magnus Midtbo (70 kg climber) match Eddie Hall (165kg strongman) in a backday? Maxing out the equipment.
Just yesterday. Really insane how he also did the lat pulldowns with more straight up technique
Those 240kg rows... You could see even Eddie was like "wtf that's insane"
Yep, like full static with the same weights Eddie used. Crazy.
That was fucking insane. He managed to row 220kgs and for reps too. I can't deadlift 180 and I have been going for a while.
I maxed at 170kg for 1 reps at 75kg bw, almost blacked out. said "yeah that was nice" and stopped trying to lift PRs lol.
Yeah maxing out those reps, both are incredibly strong people in their own ways. But Eddie could still out lift his maxes by a ton.
Obviously he could
What in the ever loving F***! That is unbelievable. I mean I see a lot of crazy stuff, but that is impossible.
Magnus has very specialized strength. He has been one of Norway's best rock climbers for most of his life. He can do things like two finger pull-ups, one arm muscle-ups. He outperformed both jujimufu and Larry Wheels on back exercises (another great video btw). But of course if you put him on something like leg exercises he gets nowhere (he gets a lot farther than almost everyone of the general population), because that's not important for climbing so that's not what he trains.
He's actually done a one finger pull up.
Magnus is also bulkier/stronger than a lot of other pro climbers actually even during his prime. Most climbers actually thought he was too bulky/heavy. He's a genetic freak even among elite climbers in terms of how strong he is.
Can you send me the link to that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZYoDnJjtGE
My favorite thing in the Magnus channel is when the dudes he bring in accidentally set world records and are like āoh, cool.ā
Whatās super interesting is that he was a svelte swimmer in his teenage years.
I have recently gotten into way better shape and my whole body feels different. I physically feel stronger and more solid. I canāt imagine that Eddie feels like though, itās like he is walking around in the hulks body. His shoulder press is so isolated and controlled itās crazy.
It's in reverse
Good catch
Aw man thanks. And i thought he was just easily shoulde pressing a dude hahaha
I could see how you might think this but itās incorrect. The guy in black is flying and pulling up on the arm to give the illusion that Hall is a strong man
i fuckin love eddie hall
Him and Brian are the tit's!
Ah, Blessed be

Eddie Hall shows how to pick up guys at the gym
Unbelievable. This is some unreal strength.
r/AbsoluteUnits
I know people would probably say big z but eddie had the strongest shoulders in the world IMH
Log lifts would've been crazy if they'd been in their prime around the same time
he's the first guy to deadlift 500kg. worth looking up the video
To add to the accomplishment, he broke the record by like 35kg which is absurd. Typically records, specifically lifting records, are broken by a kg or two at a time at most. HafĆ¾Ć³r JĆŗlĆus Bjƶrnsson broke the record by lifting 501 during COVID lockdown, but to this day since Eddie broke the record in 2016, only two men in history have lifted 500+kg Its truly a astonishing feat, and now heās a content creator lol
"Adult male". Also known as: A man.
I'm also adult male man. If Eddie tries to shoulder press me I bet he'd do a 100 and not even get tired.
**BEHOLD A MAN**
And that, kids, is how I met your father.
*bonk
And that, bonk, is how I met your father.
Do you even lift bros?
I used to go to the same gym as Eddie and there is nothing in this world that could motivate someone to lift heavy shit as much as watching Eddie rip absolutely monstrous weights off the ground. When he was training for the 500kg he was doing speed reps of around 450kg in the gym. Crazy. Repping out 250kg on the bench too. Lovely guy as well - would always stop for a chat with anyone in the gym.
Did the one being lifted have the look of ānew kink unlockedā by the end or do I need to go to queer horny jail
let's both go to queer horny jail
But can Eddie shoulder press an Eddie? Eddie is also an adult male.
Yes he can, and more. [His 200kg strict shoulder press is probably the most impressive I've seen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuSKa26HNmo) [Didn't know he held the previous WR of 216kg only broken by 1kg so far](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stk1jw1pT3A&t=1s)

Wdym? Shoulder pressing your own weight isn't impossible, it's probably a bit on the advanced side but very doable. Unless I'm inferring your statement incorrectly ofc
Yep, you're. I meant, literally lift yourself. Not the equivalent to your weight. Like, hug yourself and lift it. That was the joke
Ah okay. Weirdly, that reminds me of that gif where the dude sticks a piece of bread with butter on the top of a falling cat and generates infinite energy.
Exactly, that is the kind of physics I talked about
How difficult is a 70kg shoulder press i wonder?
Most untrained adult males would be unable to press 70kg overhead with _both_ hands.
Id even say that someone who goes to the gym regularly would struggle with 70kg using both hands. It's a though exercise.
I've done 80kg for 1 rep (more than my bw) and felt like a fucking beast. I do 60x5 regularly. But it's tough yeah and take a lot of technique to get used to it. Love it.

Doubling that , doing it easily like that and with the insane added difficulty of a wiggling uneven weight you have to stabilize... its really fucking hard.
>doing it easily like that and with the insane added difficulty of a wiggling uneven weight you have to stabilize... its really fucking hard. For sure. Something to keep in mind is form and how big the person lifting is. [Eddie's listed at 360+ lbs, so a 70kg lift would be considered intermediate (with both hands), and anything over 280 lbs is elite (with both hands - which, surprise, surprise, is where he falls in).](https://www.trainermetrics.com/fitness-assessment-calculations/1rm-overhead-press/)
I used to go to the gym. Not as much as I would like to admit. Max I lifted was 40kg for 3 reps. With BOTH arms.
40 kg is pretty good after several years of training for a 90-100kg male. He is doing almost double of it with a living weight.
That's if you were actually super dedicated and locked in to do powerlifting. You rarely see anyone doing 40kg per arm presses unless theyre literally the biggest guy there.
Do you mean onehanded? Cuz if you press 40kg with both hands over head when you have trained for some years as a male and you find it hard, either something is wrong with you or you have trained like a complete bozo

The way the gods intended
an adult male
Just look at Eddieās arm, itās as big as that guyās thigh. Or even bigger.
Heās the kind of guy that can actually left someone up by the neck like you see in movies
Law of the jungle gym; lift or be lifted
Plot twistā¦man tricks giant so he can hump his arm.
So what do you do for living? Iām a dumbbell?
He's the guy you call when you don't have a ladder
Oh so he's a pickup artist now?
That's fucking.... Incredible
"Can you let me down now, sir?" "NO!" "Okay, no problem, sir."
Just one unlucky shoulder press away from cracking some nuts.
Irl hulk.
Only time I've seen a man who could dissect somebody else with a wedgie
"Dude, I only asked you to lift me up EMOTIONALLY!"
Pft, he couldnāt even do 16 reps
Fast ball special him
I can still do this with my 12 yo - I figure if I keep lifting hard, I'll be able to keep up till she's an adult. I can do 50kg one handed for a few reps if I give a little pop with my legs.
50 kg shoulder press one handed? Mad respect bruv.
The adult male clearly has 2 hands.
Yeah but can he scratch his back ? š¤
Nope, but he can scratch his back with a grown adult man.
To be honest, that guy's probably pretty light compared to the 300lb DB strongman competitors press at the Arnold.
So he can lift 120lb
Bro would have dominate crackhead throwing championship
I could do this.
Sir, can I come down now
I really hope Eddy asked for a spot right before he did this.
That's sick. Dude is a BEAST
If he wanted him he could have him.
I guess that gym is short on equipment
I can't be the only one who thought of the [Cyanide and Happiness skit](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=upTfaNDyquw&pp=ygUZY3lhbmlkZSBhbmQgaGFwcGluZXNzIGd5bQ%3D%3D)
