Made that look far too easy! THE BEAST!!!

[@Obsidian1392]

Not even push pressing it. Incredible

[@johngoodwin7084]

Obsidian1392 do you know skeletons of giants have been found? Eddie hall is not the strongest man ever!

[@IISocratesII]

Yeh sure define 'man', homosapien is man, if such a creature existed millions of years ago or whatever it would be a genetic cousin of man, not a man, no more man than Neaderthals were or Denisovans.

That's why its calling strict press my friend.

Watch how he just stands solid after pressing, no wobbling no nothing.. that insane core strenght as well

[@willyf6172]

Yes , unlike Iron Bibi ,whose record shouldn’t count as he never had control and got the extreme fast down signal . If it had been weigh lifting judges it would not have counted . To me Eddie is the record holder still .

[@fabriziocampos7722]

This wr is so underrated and yet very impressive

[@bermudatriangle2036]

its about 40kg less than the olympic record.

[@Hades-it3gf]

@@bermudatriangle2036That wasn’t on an axle bar. Their were people that clean and jerked over 500 pounds that couldn’t do 1 rep on the 366 pound axle at the first Arnold strongman classic.

NO LEG DRIVE

[@dantedemello]

Imagine making a world record look that easy

[@dvd4937]

Mitchell will probably beat Eddie's record, but he's using a full-body technique, Eddie strictly pressed it effortlessly he could have gone much heavier using the same technique, Imagine if he had used his entire body, he could have reached even more than 230kg

[@d0nnerhall932]

Yesh just saw mitchells 216 with the clean and jerk. Eddie was the best presser strongman has ever seen. Even stronger then big z

Imagine if he actually used his legs... surely 220kg easily.... maybe 225kg... who knows.

[@laurentiustanea7840]

Eddy Creative this makes me think of Dmitry Klokov's 220 kg push press . Altho different bars and unracking

[@fabiotieri3155]

@turk turklington Take into account Eddie's sheer mass is equal to twice Klokov's. But you're right anyway; you may take Klokov in his best shape and yet he would struggle to match his log press to his best barbell press; which, by tbe way, was 225 Kg.

[@hironizer1332]

@@fabiotieri3155 I think that in an axle, prime Klokov would press around 160kg strictly, maybe 170-180kg with leg drive. Who knows

[@BruceCinema1337]

@@hironizer1332 Klokov can push press 225kg Pressing an axle is slightly harder than a barbell because there's no flex. So i would say prime klokov could push press around +200kg. Also its two different sports, ask eddie to snatch 200kg and he will fail miserably. They're both immensely strong in their own sports.

[@emp100k]

Literally strict-pressed 476

[@aram34]

he is immensely strong at static events,,i think if he did powerlifting,,he wud be number 1

[@eb1247]

Could have done 500

[@JacTraceur94]

I can’t help but have mixed feelings about this. First of all without a double super impressive. Congratulations for getting that overhead. Mega impressive no doubt. However, comparing this to Eddie’s 216kg when it was 0 leg drive and he just powers it up , pure strength. Why are these guy allowed to split jerk the weight up now? It’s the same record yet it’s two different ways to do the lift? Personal I don’t think split jerking should be allowed. I think the weight should have to be pressed like Eddie did it. Pure strength.

[@EdvardBolaasMusic]

This is so fucking insane

[@flipkicks23293]

So Serge Redding did a 502lb strict press back in years before. Granted, it wasn’t axle, it was standard. Does that change the record?

[@TheLegMan1]

eddie technically didn't strict press, so 502 lbs is the wr. But in strongman 474 lbs is recognized as the record for some odd reason. For gym lift iron biby did 530 lbs almost like a strict, and 573 lbs with almost no leg drive both of the rack. My best raw deadlift is 571 lbs 😭 and these guys are ohp it.

[@makaan699]

Reding's 228kg wasn't strict. I know he didn't bend his knees but the Olympic press in the last years was anything but strict - they used hip+back drive to get momentum off their chest and then dropped under the bar like in the clean and jerk, but just with the upper body, bending backwards. It is an epic lift but he couldn't do a seated shoulder press of 228.

[@ethanlloyd6937]

No. Two completely different Bars, two completely different lifts. Both are easier and harder than each other in certain ways lol.

[@lin2k4]

Song name?

[@fernatoxic]

It was not a deadlift at all.. He just pull the weight 80% with the strenght in his back, mostly in his traps what is fucking incredible knowing it was 216 kg man...this is unreal

[@Felale]

I wonder what he could snatch

[@vinzchannel01]

So it explains why strongmen need to be fat with big bellies. So they can shelf bars on their bellies lmao

[@jimbo0386]

He could’ve done 500lbs, maybe more

[@lubertwinnecken3410]

Do anyone know which song is played in the background? It sounds pretty cool.

[@Vertical-sandwiches]

Darude, snowstorm.

[@gummyerin]

How easy did he make that look

[@branominal]

hate the guy, love the strongman. he had at least 220 in him, if not more, such a shame he never went heavier

[@glegg54]

I too can axle clean and press 216... Pounds!

[@kooroshrostami27]

Zydrunas Savickas casually set world records at WSM without even trying to do so and worn from other events during competition. it is easier to break records when you only focus on 1 event and prepare for only prepare and train for 1 max rep. In WSM you have to train well rounded, all kind of static events, and also endurance and explosive strength, therefore it is less likely that you will achieve your prime achievement at 1 event then. Furthermore, in WSM you will stop when you are in No1 position and not go higher in weight, even if you could, because you won't get more points for that and you would be weaker in following events + risking injury. Just saying, it is a different mentality, intending to break records or winning WSM, different goal in mind, therefore different training. Taking nothing away from Eddie, his 500kg deadlift is ages ahead of anyone else, ages ahead of Savickas' best as well. But I am more than certain Savickas could break that axle press record at his best, his shoulder Strength is unparalleled. After 2015 they had to decrease the weight of the Austrian Oak log because nobody except from Savickas could even lift it once. And he did it for reps.
