jayiskEddie Hall calling out the lifter saying rumors of fake plates and he needs to try the lift in a legit setting...lol

TronI always have trouble estimateing kilos and pounds... So like 500 kilos meaning he actually lifted 7 thousand pounds?? Or.. no.. or whatever
Its 1102 lbs
An easy way of doing it is just to double 500 then add another quarter of that - so 1125 lb's
jayisksurprised he had on a DL suit. Last person to lift big with one of them on was andy bolton when he broke the 1000 lb mark.
not sure how Andy even got into position being he had a big stomach and a DL suit on. Andy was the man back in the day though.
I used to train in the same gym as him. This is going back a few years. That huge belly of his never seemed to get in the way, he has probably the best deadlift technique I've seen in person, makes it look easy. The same old run down gym is still their. It's in one of the most run down parts of the city so it doesn't stand out lol.
jayiski've seen videos of him training there and he always seemed to have a bunch of regular gym dudes around him. With club music playing...lol
Dude was def. strong AF and always seemed positive.
He always came across as a big friendly giant lol.
No bullshit or selfies, just lots of plates with his mates.
Got my first oil cycle their, good memories.
X2 I was going to say the same exact thing. I wonder if he woulda maybe had a chance with just straps and a belt.
Still. While 500kg geared is still insanely impressive, and not taking anything away from Eddie (I love Eddie no homo), I’m personally a little more impressed with the raw record 460kg.
My hands are always what let’s me down in a deadlift so maybe I’m biased, but the fact that someone can even just hold onto that without straps is bananas to me, let alone pull it from the floor.
Eddie had a suit on too I'm pretty sure of - apparently it tends to add a plate a side to the lift. Personally though lets face it - its all cheating and designed to aid the lift more whatever excuses these lifters want to use. The figure 8 straps are pushing it too, the most at best they should be allowed is normal straps and a belt IMO.
jayiskBenedikt Magnússon holds the world record for raw dl at 1,015. No straps or hitching.
The other records are set by strongman standards. they can use straps and hitch on the lift.
Yeah he had a suit on underneath the vest:

jayisknever knew that. Guess its to keep his body from exploding while lifting a ton...lol
Just watching that again it really was a Monster lift - That went up easier than this guy's 470. Hall basically jumps up from an ass to grass squat into a deadlift!!
Compare that to a John Haack DL where all the guy does is a very slight hip hinge and the rest just looks like a stiff legged deadlift lmao
jayiskthere is also the difference of using a stiff bar vs an elephant bar. And using those extra large 45 lb plates vs the small kilo plates.
stiff bar and kilo plate no bar whip and a lot harder to make the lift.
Very true - with a bendy bar you are already halfway up the lift when the plates finally leave the ground and the red plates are taller. Would love a long whippy bar but they are just so damn expensive - £350 is about the going rate here.
Mental! Big lad for sure and that first one he did he looked like he could’ve done 3 or 4 reps with that.
I wanna know what’s in those smelling salts that seems to proper wake the big boys up!? Reckon my Mrs would love it, she gets addicted to those vicks nasal inhalers in winter lol she’ll just walk about the house or sat in the car with it dangling out of her nose, absolute nutter lmao
Thing is after seeing Eddie do 500 a while ago now you just expect the challenger to piss it no problem, when in reality getting 400kg up is absolutely insane - in the world not many can even do that lol I do find it scary though the amount these guys are so obviously taking - I mean if the blood pressure is that high that your nose is exploding after the first lift can you imagine the amount of damage he is doing to his internals - he is literally killing himself.
Yeah he won’t be around too long if his career is lengthy that’s for sure mate! Remember seeing a video Dave crossland when a zit popped on his head when he was leg pressing or something lol that’s some BP issues going on if it makes a spot explode lol
Sent you a FR btw
He got damn close. Looks young enough to be able to get it eventually if he stays healthy.
Did you see eddies video on the Emirates first class flight? Fucking classic.
Lol Yeh - All I kept thinking even before he mentioned it was that poor bugger sat behind a 30 stone camera obsessed Eddie hall sat eating, farting and snoring for the whole bloody flight hahaha The heat knocked the shit out of all the guys competing didn't it!
I mean that guy attempting the WR is on another level entirely in terms of genetics isn't he - where do these massive beasts originate from?! I guess they are ultimately a handful of the biggest men in the world ...Not remotely normal by any means.
Smooth baby. And ready for me. Fcker!!
Crazy
