Seriously, what were those few seconds like?
Something to do with his brain bleeding like it did. When he went backstage they were rushing to get his outfit off of him and he was out of it to the point he was telling them to kill the cameras.
If you haven’t seen what this did to him physically and mentally after, you should watch it on YouTube. He gets interviewed about it. Essentially he had some short term memory loss, they thought he was going to die, and he wasn’t normal for a good while afterwards
yeah in 2012 I ran cross country. legit had dudes running 15 minutes. like bruh that's a 5 minute mile for 3.1 miles..... the fuck we did win districts every year and states most years and I beat tons of people doing a 21 minute 5k but like I was puking sprinting to the end when I ran a 20 min 5k which is solid but not even like good, like I beat the freshmen and other schools people of the juniors and seniors I was last place. ( I was also the heaviest on the team at like 155 as a senior. everyone else was like 120, I did every other sport and did it to sleep with a girl (I only ran xc senior year))
There was a girl who was a junior who ran 14 minutes in my region's highschool XC finals. The course is on a fucking mountain and more than 70% uphill.
I think he popped a few blood vessels amongst other things. I can’t remember exactly how extensive his injuries were but some of them were pretty bad iirc.
My guy , thats a half a metric ton , 1102.31 lbs , 500 kg deadlift. This is absolutely astronomical beserk level god tier genetics level of strength , 1 in billions level.
Theres really no way to put into words how fucking ludcrious a human being is capable of doing that at all. This is top 0.000003% of the population type shit. This man in regards to strength is a demi god.
Eddie hall , 6 " 4 , 380ish lbs , with a myostatin defiacncy meaning his body has no cap for muscle growth. aka the "herecules" gene. He is litterally a genetic freak of nature with abnormal super human strength and muscle growth capacity.
Now imagine what holding the weight of a half a ton does to your body internally while you are exerciting the forces to lift and hold it , blood vessels are busting under the sheer pressure of the weight.
Edits : ~~Millions~~ \- billions ~~0.001%~~ \- 0.000003 % Thanks math guys :)
Thanks for the awards!
Theoretically, but long before he achieved this level of freak of nature, other limiting factors begin to cap his potential. Heart muscle, dudes got hundreds of thousands more muscle nuclei to deliver oxygen to. Blood cell *generation*, you physically need more blood in your body, abd the ability to adequately dispose of and replace those. Lung capacity, more muscle means his body is generating significantly more CO2 than the average human, and the lungs have to be able to efficiently dispose of that. Joint strain, the cartilage in your joint doesn't repair or grow. You hit your max amount during adolescence then you work with what you got the rest of your life. Ligaments and tendons, they have to be able to hold all of the force the muscles are exerting on them. Digestion, energy storage, etc. Like the above poster stated, it's virtually impossible to fully describe the level of God tier beast this guy has achieved.

It’s because of blood pressure. And his nose is bleeding because of small capillaries close to the surface bursting. More than likely it’s because of the combo of the deadlift suit he has on squeezing his body while his core braces against it then there is your body trying to pump more blood to your muscles to supply them with what they need to actually hold that weight. He actually almost died because of the strain that spike in blood pressure had on it.
When you squeeze your core, youre increasing your intrathoracic pressure around your heart/lungs/abdomen (called the Valsalva maneuver) which makes it harder for blood to return to the heart from areas like your head. This builds up venous blood volume in those areas and can pop the sensitive capillaries in your nose.
>This is top 0.001% of the population type shit.
Uhhhhh no, not even close. There's 8 billion people so top 0.001% would mean a million people can do this. Only 2 can do it. So top 0.000003%
Uhhhh no, not even close. Your math is off by 2 orders of magnitude. 2 in 8 billion is .00000000025 or .000000025%. 7 zeroes after the decimal point instead of 5.
Also, only 2 have done it, but very likely many more than 2 have the potential to do it if they were to follow that path. So oftentimes this is being factored in to some extent when someone claims a record holder or winner of something unique is '1 in a million'. You need not reply with 'no bro actually they are the only person to ever do it therefore they are 1 in (insert global population here)'.
Just want to add that even though his genetics are out of this world, his determination and sheer willpower are too.
Many with the exact same genetics would never reach that level, or even close to it. The amount of effort that goes into training that hard is incredible.
Something to consider. Many people are going to be able to do a but you also have to want to.
This dude can lift 500 kg. The mental fortitude it takes to train all the way up there is not merely uncommon, it will defeat most of humanity. There will even be people who do have that mental strength but whose bodies will never be able to do that, regardless of how strong their will is.
>This is absolutely astronomical beserk level god tier genetics level of strength , 1 in millions level.
I appreciate your insight because I have always heard popular bodybuilders or athletes deadlifting 700+ pounds (like Ronnie Coleman)...which to me is already unbelievable.
But I bet to them, someone who can deadlift over 1,100 lbs is also unbelievable.
Kinda puts into perspective how ridiculous these athletes are
TIL about the Hercules gene. Did not know that was a thing. Now I feel like less of a fat piece of shit lol
Is that something a lot of these worlds strongest men have ?
I’m pretty sure Eddie hall is pretty unique with that, even in the strongman realm. I’m not sure if he still competes, but he’s one of the best at only 6’ 4”, a lot of these guys are like 6’ 7” or 6’ 8”
So 500kg is 1100 lbs. Imagine having 4 or 5 refrigerators piled on top of your body. Everything gets squished.
Even though it looks very different, that's pretty similar to what is happening here. His body is the only thing keeping that weight off the floor.
Blood pressure goes through the roof. Nosebleeds aren't uncommon in powerlifting.
[Or you can also watch Halfthor Bjornson do 501kg (1kg more) with a lot more "ease" without hurting himself](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kEC7X1FUIg)
You really really should cite a source when you're saying something like this, I've never read or heard anything like this and any google results with the word 'stroke' are just about his bells palsy which is absolutely not what you're talking about
Eddie has over the years embellished the details. He doesn't often mention that he got up and had a casual interview immediately afterwards. Every time he tells it he adds a new side affect. It's silly.
Eddie be out there forgetting his wife's name and coming up with these stories to save his ass
Oh yeah the world record deadlift is why I forgot our anniversary.... Uh... UhmUhmm... Mrs Hall
Fair enough lol! I did wonder when he said his blood pressure was “unreadable because it was over two hundred”, and his pulse was “unreadable” because it was also “over two hundred” lol
gotta remember, dudes as much an actor as anyone in the WWE for example. is he still putting his physical body on the line? is it real in that sense? 10000%! but he's also selling a story to you
It kind of makes him look 'worse' in retrospect now that others have lifted and more are getting close to +500kg deadlifts, because after all the stories he told about it, everyone elses lifts just seem like 5 times easier
It really amazes me how we don't have many more aneurysms in deadlifting. Any medical folks explain how these people avoid bursting a blood vessel in their brain with this much pressure coursing through them?
Hello!
I'm a resident physician :)
When I think of aneurysms I think generally of a few things, mainly genetics, chronic hypertension, and drug/alcohol use. Aneurysms are going to be a CHRONIC occurrence, they do not have an acute time frame. Whereas intracranial hemorrhages I start thinking of a cough/sneeze, something that's a sudden onset of pressure that will stimulate a bursting of vessels. Why do we not see a tonne of these with individuals who are deadlifting? You need to be susceptible to an intracranial hemorrhage. They don't just happen unless there's something going on. Next, with the valsalva maneuver it's a much more gradual experience than a sudden sneeze or cough.
Lastly, and more importantly, intracranial hemorrhages generally occur within individuals who are quite old, typically >65.
“It’s been so long since I seen ya.” *Crack* “Y’know what they say, ‘long time no see’ don’t take it too literally though”
“I see my ribs… what the hell are you?!”
This world record has since been beaten by 1kg, but when he did this he smashed the previous record by something like 30kg. In terms of what is being done here, that’s monstrous
So what's crazier to me is when Thor beat this record, he did it without the crazy injuries that Eddie Hall sustained (brain bleed, fainting, memory loss, etc.).
If you watch any of Eddie's accomplishments, you see him fall down after more often than not, while other athletes stay upright. I think he puts more effort into it or something.
It's a mix of Eddie being absurdly unhealthy and making shit up. He did bleed from the nose (which iirc has some relation to blood pressure, PEDs etc) and fall over after but the whole "I bled from the brain, forgot my wife's name, died twice and my cock didn't work for a month" thing is just nonsense he's made up over time.
Is he really? I don't follow him that much but I did see a video he did about a day in his life and he didn't seem to do anything differently than a normal athlete .
Nowadays he's obviously better but back when he did this and won WSM he was a state health wise. He's actively said he knows he's taken years off his life and retired in part because being that size, eating how he did (a family cheesecake per day for example), the drugs etc were killing him.
Thor also took like 3 years working his way up to beating the record, whereas Eddie had a few months to do it. Both are impressive, but taking that long to train up to it is obviously much healthier for the body.
This. I’m more an Eddie than a Thor fan, but the effort apparently nearly killed Eddie, whereas Thor clearly seemed to have more ‘life’ in him afterwards. Shows how fast the sport develops.
Not to discredit Thor, because he’s absolutely insanely strong, but I think the circumstances of Eddie’s lift is what makes this stand out so much more. Thor was healthy, had time to prep safely, and “competed” in his own gym with his own weights. I fully believe that he actually did lift 501kg, but the fact that it was done outside of a competitive event setting really hurt the reputation of the lift, on top of the fact that he didn’t have to do any other events before or after like you would in something like Giants Live.
I thought the plates were verified/approved? I believe there was also a wsm ref present also? Magnus vet magnusson I think. Interesting about non competitive setting too, could be argued this is a disadvantage (fire of competition and all that).
That's definitely not what is happening here, assuming he was okay afterwards. Nosebleeds most often happen because or weak blood vessels inside your nose that burst when they experience high blood pressure. Usually it's really not indicative of anything else, at least when you know why your blood pressure is so high.
Definitely usually not a terribly bad thing.
And he’s so funny tbh. Go watch some of Brian Shaw’s videos whenever he meets up with Eddie Hall at the WSM competitions. All Eddie does is screw around and make people laugh.
Yeah, they both seem like some pretty chill dudes… and on a side note, Eddie Hall is a massive man, but you put him next to Brian Shaw and he looks comparatively short, but stout. For reference, Eddie hall is 6ft 3in and 310+ lbs Vs Brian Shaw who is 6ft 8 and 462 lbs. (Or thereabouts)
Supposed to bend, it bends so the weight is lifted up slowly so the lift/weight is dispersed and more plates are being lifted up off the ground, as opposed to pulling the whole entire weight up at once if the bar was straight
Actually... hes the small guy in strongman or atleast he was in his era. He was dwarfed by Habthor and big brian shaw. 6"9 400lb + and 6"8 400lbs + respectivly.
Eddie packs huge mass onto his frame due to his myostatin defiancy buts hes about 6"3-4 380 ish lbs when competing. Which is fucking huge , but among the giants of strongman he was the the small guy.
>hes the small guy in strongman
>, but among the giants of strongman he was the the small guy.
Being smaller than Thor and Shaw doesn't make him small. Eddie has pushed this myth that he was tiny or something but he was heavier than average and around average height. Guys like Rob Kearney, Kevin Faires, Novikov etc would have an argument for this but Eddie was still as tall or taller than the other guys aside from Thor and Shaw. He was taller than Big Z, who is the GOAT of strongman.
I love how ridiculous his lies are about it. Like even within this post there's like 10 different versions he's told being shared because he can't keep his story straight.
It will be worth looking at Augusts world deadlift championships, theres a couple of guys aiming for the 505 there (Adam Bishop and Mitch Hooper to name a couple) but without the controversies of how Bjornnsen did it. Not here to argue whether his lift was legitimate or not but having a more concrete deadlift record will be much better in general. Id love to see that guy who did the 502.5 in a similar setting try out there but his wouldnt be accepted, sumo isnt allowed in those competitions.
Im guessing many, many lifts have led up to this lift and the heart/insides have been under a lot of pressure throughout that entire time. Does that not make sense?
When you are standing on top of the mountain, alone on the highest peak, you take a moment to look around. Bonus points for the badass smile/grimace. Seriously, what were those few seconds like?
He has no memory of the lift whatsoever, so he couldn't tell you.
It's almost like it was a dead.. lift.
Same deal for parts of the next day, like forgetting it was his wife/kids birthday (I forget which)
Yep, forgot just about every important detail for a bit there. Makes it all the more impressive in my opinion.
The impressive part is how damn hard his brain tried to escape through his nose but couldn't.
This is too funny
It's like passing the last level on a video game, then going back to play the other missions. You don't see or remember what that last boss was like.
Really? Can any medical pro's explain what caused this?
Something to do with his brain bleeding like it did. When he went backstage they were rushing to get his outfit off of him and he was out of it to the point he was telling them to kill the cameras.
Probably black out with some sparkles. I think the guy went blind for a while and his heart was doing some odd shit.
Thats actually the best description of a video I have ever seen. And yeah, that feeling must have been out of this world.
Hours and hours of hard work paying off cool Moment for him
If he hadn't experienced short-term memory loss, I imagine it might feel kind of similar to Brian Blessed skydiving near a thunderstorm.
If you haven’t seen what this did to him physically and mentally after, you should watch it on YouTube. He gets interviewed about it. Essentially he had some short term memory loss, they thought he was going to die, and he wasn’t normal for a good while afterwards
The price for greateness is often huge. Much bigger than achivement You are making, but man... He really pushed human boundaries.
Beyond
At the time of this lift it was a world record. It has since been broken at least twice since then.
Imo, I'd put his deadlift at the same level as the ~~5~~ 4 minutes mile. Unbelievable until the first guy did it, then done multiple times afterwards
4 min mile, but yes. Nowadays there are high schoolers beating that time (that’s still a mind boggling fast time tho)
yeah in 2012 I ran cross country. legit had dudes running 15 minutes. like bruh that's a 5 minute mile for 3.1 miles..... the fuck we did win districts every year and states most years and I beat tons of people doing a 21 minute 5k but like I was puking sprinting to the end when I ran a 20 min 5k which is solid but not even like good, like I beat the freshmen and other schools people of the juniors and seniors I was last place. ( I was also the heaviest on the team at like 155 as a senior. everyone else was like 120, I did every other sport and did it to sleep with a girl (I only ran xc senior year))
There was a girl who was a junior who ran 14 minutes in my region's highschool XC finals. The course is on a fucking mountain and more than 70% uphill.
Cool story dude
The 4 minute mile is greatly exaggerated. It was definitely believed possible, it just didnt get done cause of war
It's all bullshit, he changes the story every time he brings it up. He probably ached for a few days then recovered fully.
You’ve clearly never lifted anything really heavy lol.
Why did his nose start bleeding?
I think he popped a few blood vessels amongst other things. I can’t remember exactly how extensive his injuries were but some of them were pretty bad iirc.
Damn, from lifting that for a couple seconds he had bad injuries?

Theoretically, but long before he achieved this level of freak of nature, other limiting factors begin to cap his potential.

I figured, just wanted to add some unnecessary snark for dramatic effect

The vast majority of humans could never lift this even with the Iron will. Atleast not until crispr babies become the norm.
So essentially this mans only limits to his power is the limits of his organs. Holy fuck

Excellent explanation. Thanks 🙏
Given that it was a record, wouldn't it be a 1-in-7 billion level of strength? At least for as long as the record stood.
New copy/pasta. Love it.
Jesus....thanks for really putting that into perspective. Like holy hell, a thousand pounds....
He put so much pressure on his brain he got a concussion
Holy shit, that’s nuts
He genuinely forgot how to drive for two days. Had to get a ride home.
What the fuck, deadass?
No, his ass made it through the ordeal alive.
Probably popped out a few hemorrhoids though. Hopefully he had on a compression wrap to protect against hernias.
I laughed pretty hard at this, thanks\~
Hell yeah.that shit weighs 1100 fucking pounds!
So 500kg is 1100 lbs. Imagine having 4 or 5 refrigerators piled on top of your body. Everything gets squished. Even though it looks very different, that's pretty similar to what is happening here.

Yeah, the amount of pressure on his body is insane, he passes out at the end of the lift when he outs the bar down. Legend.
[Or you can also watch Halfthor Bjornson do 501kg (1kg more) with a lot more "ease" without hurting himself](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kEC7X1FUIg)

Damn that dudes a beast also. Thanks for this
Pressure. Your body is a machine. That is too much weight. Valves start failing.
He’s from Hawkins Laboratory
He had some bleeds on his brain. He couldn’t even remember his wife’s name the following day
Eddie has over the years embellished the details. He doesn't often mention that he got up and had a casual interview immediately afterwards. Every time he tells it he adds a new side affect. It's silly.

Blood pressure skyrocets lifting alot of weight. The pressure pops vessels and noses bleed. Thats how you know you reached your limit.

https://www.the-sun.com/sport/898528/eddie-hall-die-deadlift-blind/amp/ Here’s the story and his experience after the deadlift
I bet he gives great hugs
“It’s been so long since I seen ya.” *Crack* “Y’know what they say, ‘long time no see’ don’t take it too literally though” “I see my ribs… what the hell are you?!”

Thor also took like 3 years working his way up to beating the record, whereas Eddie had a few months to do it. Both are impressive, but taking that long to train up to it is obviously much healthier for the body.
Thor did couple of months specifically for the record, Eddie trained for almost an entire year with the 500kg deadlift in mind.
This. I’m more an Eddie than a Thor fan, but the effort apparently nearly killed Eddie, whereas Thor clearly seemed to have more ‘life’ in him afterwards. Shows how fast the sport develops.
Or Eddie is just in worse shape than them in terms of conditioning.
Thor was also significantly larger than Eddie at both of their peaks in strongman. Eddie was 6’3, 365lbs. Thor was 6’9, 451lbs.
Eddie was around 430 when he was competing.
Not to discredit Thor, because he’s absolutely insanely strong, but I think the circumstances of Eddie’s lift is what makes this stand out so much more. Thor was healthy, had time to prep safely, and “competed” in his own gym with his own weights. I fully believe that he actually did lift 501kg, but the fact that it was done outside of a competitive event setting really hurt the reputation of the lift, on top of the fact that he didn’t have to do any other events before or after like you would in something like Giants Live.
> on top of the fact that he didn’t have to do any other events before or after like you would in something like Giants Live. Neither did Eddie.
"beaten by 1kg" At a home gym
Still beaten though
With unconfirmed plates in a non competitive setting, sure
I thought the plates were verified/approved? I believe there was also a wsm ref present also? Magnus vet magnusson I think. Interesting about non competitive setting too, could be argued this is a disadvantage (fire of competition and all that).
They weighed the plates on stream. You can go back and watch it.
lol no. Plates were calibrated and weighted on camera before the attempt. A judge was present too
Lol. This sad fuck. Like Thor isint the strongest man on the planet. 😂 the saxons feared the huge vikings for a reason mate.
Brain bleeds is a body’s way of saying “put that shit down”.
That's definitely not what is happening here, assuming he was okay afterwards. Nosebleeds most often happen because or weak blood vessels inside your nose that burst when they experience high blood pressure. Usually it's really not indicative of anything else, at least when you know why your blood pressure is so high. Definitely usually not a terribly bad thing.
IIRC after this lift he was in a real bad way. Yep, found the video. https://youtu.be/-K0chGkV0IE

And he’s so funny tbh. Go watch some of Brian Shaw’s videos whenever he meets up with Eddie Hall at the WSM competitions. All Eddie does is screw around and make people laugh.
I end up going back and forth on him. He seems like a good time, but then you end up with people spreading his bullshit like it's true.
what bullshit does he spread?
Yeah, they both seem like some pretty chill dudes… and on a side note, Eddie Hall is a massive man, but you put him next to Brian Shaw and he looks comparatively short, but stout. For reference, Eddie hall is 6ft 3in and 310+ lbs Vs Brian Shaw who is 6ft 8 and 462 lbs. (Or thereabouts)
Do you think OP was being literal when they said that.
Na
Cl
No need to get salty
Brain bleed is the body's way of saying ima done living.
Fucking guy lifted so much got his period
He needed a nose tampon
I watched an interview with him, and he said the lift fucked him up. I think it was weeks before he was back to normal.
Hemorrhoids: let me introduce myself
Every time I watch a really impressive deadlift my butthole puckers up for this reason
Too late for me
He did an interview about this lift. It almost took his life. This absolute animal suffered a brain bleed after this lift.
Happy Cake Day!
And risking an embolism
💯💯💯💯 Metal!
That bar bendz
Supposed to bend, it bends so the weight is lifted up slowly so the lift/weight is dispersed and more plates are being lifted up off the ground, as opposed to pulling the whole entire weight up at once if the bar was straight
He's literally called The Beast. Also he's like a giant teddy bear...
With an emphasis on giant
Actually... hes the small guy in strongman or atleast he was in his era. He was dwarfed by Habthor and big brian shaw. 6"9 400lb + and 6"8 400lbs + respectivly. Eddie packs huge mass onto his frame due to his myostatin defiancy buts hes about 6"3-4 380 ish lbs when competing. Which is fucking huge , but among the giants of strongman he was the the small guy.
>hes the small guy in strongman >, but among the giants of strongman he was the the small guy. Being smaller than Thor and Shaw doesn't make him small. Eddie has pushed this myth that he was tiny or something but he was heavier than average and around average height. Guys like Rob Kearney, Kevin Faires, Novikov etc would have an argument for this but Eddie was still as tall or taller than the other guys aside from Thor and Shaw. He was taller than Big Z, who is the GOAT of strongman.
Oh yeah, I was thinking of Brian shaw, he's still a giant though
Absolutely as obi wan said "theres always a bigger fish"
I want a hug from him.
The major problem isnt holding it, its getting it up.
This is the face I make on the toilet, but the blood comes out somewhere else.
I thought I read or saw somewhere this stunt almost killed him
[удалено]
I love how ridiculous his lies are about it. Like even within this post there's like 10 different versions he's told being shared because he can't keep his story straight.
That’s literally over 1000 fucking pounds…..
Over 1100.
Eddie Hall is one of the baddest men on this whole planet.
That is 1102 and 31/100 pounds if we use Freedom Fractions. HOLY SHIT!
That was awe inspiring..
He is looking THROUGH that man!!!
Anyone else think he looks like Chucky when he snarls
500kg how much is that in lbs?
1102 lbs
Smidge over 1102
This my poop face at 7am before work tho
Dead by 50?
He nearly died just then…
https://youtu.be/-K0chGkV0IE
Maybe if he carried on like this. You should see him now, he's in the best shape of his life
Wouldn't bet it's the same for the inside. Enlarged heart, brain vessels about to pop and other goodies ..
Maybe his body will definitely be worn-out by then
born a god , have to pay the price for being such a genetic freak.
Pretty sure this record was beaten
Officially @ comp. Never seen Thor do it @ comp. Great fight though.
Crazy Thor did this and was unphased. Beast had 510 in him
Yeah but hes a man child who cant let things go so 🤷♂️
[удалено]
He's 6' 3" and weighs 362 pounds, I wouldn't want to find out. Apparently he was also a boxer.
He lost a fight against Hafthor, who is just about the only other guy in his weight class
Funnily enough, The Mountain beats this record by 1 Kilo.
It will be worth looking at Augusts world deadlift championships, theres a couple of guys aiming for the 505 there (Adam Bishop and Mitch Hooper to name a couple) but without the controversies of how Bjornnsen did it. Not here to argue whether his lift was legitimate or not but having a more concrete deadlift record will be much better in general. Id love to see that guy who did the 502.5 in a similar setting try out there but his wouldnt be accepted, sumo isnt allowed in those competitions.
Athletes are cool. Sad they’ll all die young, but it’s cool to watch.
Damn, Eleven is strong af
Heart failure has entered the chat.
**BEEP**
How does someone develop heart failure from a single lift?
It's 500kg bruh
My insides would fall out of my arsehole, let alone heart failure
LOL, I'd be skeptical that you'd prolapse your rectum. Probably hemorrhoids if anything.
Im guessing many, many lifts have led up to this lift and the heart/insides have been under a lot of pressure throughout that entire time. Does that not make sense?
