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

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

>Aesthetics
Choose one.
With very few exceptions (like Pudzianowski), aesthetic people are never truly strong

You guys realize this is effeminate of you, right?
How'd he fair at the olympics? Sold my telly at the new year

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.

Wouldn't you rather just have self esteem and self confidence regardless of what you looked like, or how much weight you lifted?
>>38633837
pounds or kg?

Where do you think you are

lbs means "pounds" in burgerstan
>>38633649
I strongly disagree (no homo)
>>38633872
It's because you are gay.
>>38633850
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.
