IN BREAKING WORLD RECORD, EDDIE HALL NEARLY BREAKS HIMSELF

July 11, 2016

Another world record broken but at what cost?

For a bodybuilder the world of powerlifting and strongmen competitions are a like a cousin, a distant cousin that they hate to constantly be compared to. But when it’s time for the family reunion they remember just how interesting that distant cousin is and can’t help but feel a sense of camaraderie. Though powerlifting and strongman competitions are exactly a bodybuilder’s focus, the truth of the matter is that being strong is part of the whole life style. No matter how you slice it, once you’ve reached a certain level of bodybuilding, you’ll need some heavier weight to stimulate muscle growth.

Just like constant muscle building is the ultimate goal of a bodybuilder, for a strongman it’s all about how much more they can lift from event to event. Hitting a personal best in the gym is great, but it all comes down to the big show, the event that cements things in official record. In order to reach the level of a world record breaker a lifter will have to push themselves past their limits, both mentally and physically.

For Eddie Hall breaking records has pretty much become the norm. If you hear the name Eddie Hall and deadlift in the same sentence then chances are that he has probably broke a lifting record of some kind. Hall just recently broke another world record in the deadlift, but it appears that this time around the strongman may have paid a hefty price to get the job done. Take a look at the video below to see Eddie Hall lift a whopping 1102.31 lbs and the side effect of achieving such a feat.
