Eddie 'THE BEAST' Hall | 10 Incredible Feats of Strength

[@cyberneticstrongman7095]

That strict press on the axle is just nuts!

[@AlexSwann3341]

Not even a slow down. He just dominated the weight!

[@espenstoro]

Everyone talks about the deadlift (and rightly so), but he's a pressing monster from another world.

[@Gndlf_TheOrange]

Especially when you've trained a bit and have perspective on how heavy that is ffs. Unreal.

[@AlexSwann3341]

@ I have an axel in my first comp as a master and the most I’ve done is 225 lb and it felt crazy heavy! Much less 216kg.

[@kevinpalmer7452]

Gives me the goosebumps

[@joedicken9028]

The 472 deadlift 11 events into WSM is one of the most impressive feats of strength I've ever seen.

[@prdoyle]

I think no strongman has ever come closer to his own personal limits of strength than Eddie Hall. His willpower is off the charts.

[@ora6925]

shivlyakov came closer to his deadlift max than Eddie did. Guy got crazy shakes at times!

[@vvoof2601]

@@ora6925 Eddie almost died on the 500kg. I think that counts as pushing harder.

[@anymous1485]

@@vvoof2601 Shivlyakov almost bled to death on the elephant bar, made Eddie's nosebleed look tame, lol

[@wifflebat14]

Strict pressing a WR is always impressive, but that looked so easy! Some of the best shoulders and triceps ever assembled.

[@jakobjas4212]

Yeah I reckon Eddie had another 5kg in him on that one.

[@l33lob]

Still get electrified every time I see the 500kg Deadlift ⚡️

[@9256steven]

The 500kg deadlift by Eddie was the greatest moment in Strongman history.

[@Larry-n4n]

Thor has the world record deadlift

[@petershortland478]

​@Larry-n4n maybe but Eddie changes deadlifting because of it

[@perrin38]

Greatest moment in Sports history imo. If he hadn’t done it the record would probably still be hovering around 470. Eddie skipped ahead decades

[@WingspeedGarage]

[@AlexSwann3341]

The axel press is just unreal. 500 definitely #1 but that axel is my favorite.

[@imambaybars3405]

Eddie’s lifts are not only feats of strength, they are beautiful works of art that are a pleasure to see as well

[@MikalDale]

that deadlift pyramid from 60-420-60... that is crazy. absolutely insane. to be able to pull those numbers rep after rep is blowing my mind

[@SabinBabblatchu]

Eddies 500kg lift is what got my kids into strength, and now we watch arm wrestling and strongman together. Greatest gift ❤

[@jonathandalton2921]

dont forget his crossfit record too - The 2017 World's Strongest Man recently set the world record for the Isabel CrossFit workout, which consists of 30 snatches with 135 lbs. for time, at the CrossFit European Championships. Hall didn't just break the old record of 1:20, previously held by CrossFit legend Rich Froning, he smashed it at 50.9 seconds.

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

I think the "Death by Deadlift" should be higher. Not only was that not replicated afterwards, that was his second time attempting that, THAT day. He only went up to 380 kg and realized he didn't go up to 420, and re-did it.

[@misterc5783]

His 465 speed rep still amazes me more than the 500.

[@Arthroplastic_Strongman]

An absolute unit and legend!

[@WingspeedGarage]

Tell me you watching Cleetus mc without telling me you’re watching Cleetus MC 😂

[@HonkeyKongLive]

Peak Eddie was the strongest static lifter of all time. There wasn't any lift he was bad at. Overhead, pull, squat, even his bench was insane.

[@cheriseelliott9230]

Thank you for making this video. I've been an Eddie fan for years. 😊

[@karasutengu889]

that no leg drive is absolutely insane , I don’t think it’s inaccurate to see that everyone else he competes against uses some leg drive in the press. Even Iron Biby ….this lift reminds me of you Serge Redding Cl and P at the olympics…no leg drive at all crazy

[@DavidVirtanen]

Big Z Never Used His Legs And Never Really Trained The Log Otherwise The Log WR Would Be 300 Kg

[@karasutengu889]

@@DavidVirtanenoh ok i thought he did , i’ll have to check some of his footage out but I don’t doubt it

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

472 while 11 events deep into a comp is just crazy.

[@kartikesingla6697]

The way eddie lifts is beautiful to watch. the power stability and fluidity is out of the world.he is genuinely the strongest person in the world at static lifts.

[@Callum_Lifts]

💪Eddie had some insane feats of strengths and is definitely one of the UKs greatest ! Favourite one for me has to be the Deadlift at WSM followed closely by the 500KG Deadlift of course 😊

[@carlh296]

7 x 100kg full range of motion incline dumbbell press was just stupid. Have never seen anybody come close to this. Clip available to watch on the Strength Asylum page.

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

Eddie's lifts on the Strength Asylum channel by itself is a list.

[@HonkeyKongLive]

​@@A-A-RonDavis2470he could have easily crushed PL records if he'd gone for it.

[@Danny-h4g]

He was never the most Technical strongman but he’s definitely gotta be the strongest there’s ever been 💪🏼

[@richardthomas3697]

Not really as plenty of strongmen have beaten his records, finished ahead of him in competitions and set their own records

[@ToneAndJazUtd]

Absolute monster. People forget how truly great he was because of his online persona, but I've had the privilege of watching this man's career and he truly deserves his title as The Beast. Strongest static strength I've ever seen. ❤

[@richardthomas3697]

Except he wasn’t that great when compared to other strongmen, yes he was good at the static events but he struggled badly with the non static events due to his size as he was far too heavy for his height On the list of greatest strongmen he ranks in 18th place

[@DavidVirtanen]

​@@richardthomas369718th Are You Kidding Me?

[@SJR4815]

To me, 2017 was the last era of giants and Eddie was the absolute pinnacle of mythic level static strength. The sport has definitely changed since then and part of me wonders if it's because there was just nowhere else to go from there but down.

[@georgemyers6190]

It's going to be a good armwrestling match.

[@saintsrule09]

Special mention for Eddie breaking the deadlift world record and holding it whilst talking to the reporter

[@nokneedownian8521]

Records come and go but eddie in wsm 2017 final was probably the best static display of strength in this era of strongman man

[@anymous1485]

Eddie's Death by Deadlift is the most impressive by far. Pulling 60kg - 420kg - 60kg with every lift but the 420 being a speed rep, with no suit or belt and already tired from a previous attempt is absolutely nuts. Say what you will about Eddie's personality but there's no doubt that peak Eddie was statically stronger than pretty much any strongman ever. My ranking would be: 1. Death by Deadlift 2. 500kg 3. 473kg in the second to last event at WSM 4. 216kg strict axle 5. Hammer hold.

[@daltonmason62]

Eddie is an absolute machine, but Brian's a bigger machine!

[@troypowders4312]

His static strength was unmatched. Truly spectacular watching him compete. And 500kg was done in competition not home gym😂

[@BobCarolgees-p8f]

Absolutely the best strongman in the world

[@jeffarmfield2346]

1 other gym lifts...his 6 reps w 585lbs on a wobbly bar is also nuts! I wanna say the powerlifting bench all time wr on a regular bar, single rep wasn't much over 700lbs at the time. The way he did those six I think he could got realllly Cloe to it

[@timbeech2056]

In "Eddie Hall Death by Deadlift 500kg" on his channel, after the pyramid he pulls 420kg for 4 beltless. Those are two of the greatest feats of deadlift strength of all time. Arguably above the 500kg.

[@Bill-f7y]

Good job, guys. There's a reason he's called The Beast, right!

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

Actually the real reason is because Arnie spoke to him and called him a beast so he adopted the name.

[@charleyweinhardt]

Eddie's the man!

[@Larry-n4n]

Actually Big Z has the record he squatted 325 kg for 15 reps in 2014

[@damiensmith9240]

With more in the tank, too. But no one here claimed Eddie's was a record.

[@frederickknapp5340]

I give Eddie Great respect for the 500 kg deadlift. But I have a problem with him not pushing strongman more. His channel is mostly about him and the antics. No doubt he is a great strongman but he has the popularity to make this sport bigger. I really wish he would do that.

[@MegaLegz]

To this day Im not sure anyone can one motion strict press an axle that heavy. Bibi uses a bit of leg drive and Hooper uses a split jerk.Arguably more impressive than his deadlift.

[@Adam-bw6dj]

I agree Eddie's is the most impressive because Biby needed 3 attempts and Eddie made it look easy, but I have to disagree partly. Where do you see Biby using leg drive on the 217kg axle? He clearly uses the same form as Eddie which is to lean back and almost Bench press it up. It's strict.

[@MegaLegz]

@@Adam-bw6dj After further review I agree. I remembered their technique being different but in fairness he didnt dip the knees.

[@eelponna3145]

Shame he retired so early - always felt he had several more years of competing and improving in him.

[@Adam-bw6dj]

He didn't. He talks about how he had severe health issues leading up to WSM 2017. His strength was there but his body couldn't take much more. I'm not sure he could've taken another year of putting his body through it. Eddie took it to the extreme.

[@Larry-n4n]

2017 WSM didn't have 11 events no WSM has ever had that many

[@vojtechkorhon4159]

It was actually the 11th event when you add up the heats and final, though Eddie didn't have to do the last event in the heats, so it was the 10th event for him.

[@Hades-it3gf]

There are 6 events in the group stages and 6 events in the final. Eddie won his group so he only did 5 events in the group stages so technically it was his tenth event.

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

WSM includes all the heats and finals events. The Final is just the Final few events.

[@wanderer_oti]

6 heats 6 final events.

[@Paul-ws4yx]

[@craigpawalawski4232]

Eddie did make some insane lifts BUT only won one major title in his whole career...Major titles WSM Arnold's Europe

[@richardthomas3697]

Exactly and its why he doesn’t place that high on the list of greatest strongmen, he ranks in 18th place

[@damiensmith9240]

Such a shame he quit when he did.

[@hellsSG]

His log and axle was just stupid. No other athlete lifts that weight like that. As i've never lifted either an elephant bar or the stiff bar from 2017 i can't really comment but if Loz says it's nuts, it probably is.

[@DavidVirtanen]

Big Z, But I Agree Eddie Is a Freak 💪🏻😏

[@WillStopka]

Arm wrestling after tearing his bicep???? Idk how that is smart but f@ck it lol stay hydrated eddie!!!

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

Lots of top arm wrestlers keep going after tearing biceps. They'll also ask to reattach the tendon lower for more leverage.
