Eddie Hall Reacts to Hilarious Gym Fails: ‘Nearly Crushed Her Head & Died’
Strongman legend Eddie Hall carved his own space in strength sports and fitness-related activities. While he no longer competes professionally, he stays connected with the community as a revered figure. In a recent video posted on YouTube, Hall shared his reaction to some crazy gym fails.
Eddie Hall started out participating in regional and national Strongman shows in 2010. After coming out on top of his debut contest (England’s Strongest Man), Hall became confident about his chances in the sport. He dominated the British circuit, winning six UK’s Strongest Man titles and five Britain’s Strongest Man honors. He earned his maiden qualification to the World’s Strongest Man contest in 2012.
Hall set several World Records, including the 462-kg (1,019-lb) deadlift in Mar. 2015, the 465-kg (1,025-lb) Elephant Bar deadlift in Mar. 2016, and the epic 500-kg (1,102-lb) conventional deadlift in Strongman rules in Jul. 2016. He finally secured the World’s Strongest Man title by edging out fellow icon Hafthor Bjornsson in 2017. Following the win, Hall indicated his plans to move on from competition.
’The Beast’ switched to boxing for a single bout after getting challenged by Bjornsson, who broke his deadlift World Record. The rivals clashed inside the boxing ring with Bjornsson getting the nod on the judges’ scorecards. In Aug. 2022, Hall laid out his full day of eating ahead of a planned return for the 2022 Giants Live World’s Strongest Nation.
Earlier this year, Eddie Hall announced his ambitions to compete in bodybuilding in 2024 after taking inspiration from former two-time Mr. Olympia Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay and reigning four-time Classic Physique Olympia champ Chris Bumstead. He’s confident he could perform well if he cut down his body fat. He joined forces with Jamie Christian-Johal for an intense back training session weeks later. The duo struck a strong partnership and regrouped for another grueling chest workout three months ago. Then, he continued to improve his physique for bodybuilding with a fierce back workout.
Hall reflected on his glittering career a few weeks ago. He revealed consuming 20,000 calories in a single day while maintaining a diet of 12,500 to 15,000 calories every day at the height of his powers. He credited his recovery process for leading him to become the World’s Strongest Man.
Eddie Hall reacts to hilarious gym fails
In a recent YouTube video, Eddie Hall shared his reaction to some crazy gym fails, including accidents, mishaps, and dangerously improper reps.
“What’s going to happen here?” said Hall. “Oh my god! Literally her trainer came off the foot and she nearly crushed her head onto her knee, nearly died. That is horrendous.”
“Oh! Did you see that? Her whole knee broke. Her whole one came out the socket for a split second. I don’t know what went on there.”
“The most sketchy rep I’ve ever seen. Oh my god! Ewww, oh dear! Put it down. Put it down. Just put it down. No, let go!”
Eddie Hall partnered with bodybuilding legend and four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler for a brutal upper-body training session two months ago. Cutler lauded Hall for his work ethic while mentoring him through the back workout. Then, Hall collaborated with powerlifting sensation Larry Wheels for a taxing shoulder workout two months ago. Both strength sports veterans are gearing up to make a splash in bodybuilding.
