Do you agree with Official Strongman's Top 5 Eddie Feats of Strength?
Oh yeah!
Wow
Yeah!
Hell yeah. Great edit, folks. Much love.
Yeah. So much
Eddie Hall: "I don't have the genetic gifts that they've got." Also Eddie Hall: "I have the Hercules gene"
Think maybe he means because he's not as tall and has to get so fat to be so strong but ye bit contradictory haha
They probably all have the Hercules gene
@@mitchellcotton7346 Yeah, I think to even have a chance of getting to the top of any of the strongman tiers you probably need that myostatin gene or you just won't build enough muscle. Negative about the hercules gene is you're pretty much guaranteed to not live past 80 or so, but who needs to live much older than that?
@@TheBruceKeller 80? More like 60, buddy. Especially how he trained and the weight he got to.
"im only 6'3" lol, uhm thats like 99th percentile
The 500kg deadlift by Eddie was the greatest moment in Strongman history.
Totally agree. It will never, ever be this good again. The beast made history and that awesome deadlift will go go down in history as the greatest feat of strength of all time, pure drama of the highest calibre.
yeah, normally WR's go up by 1-5 kg's, the fact that he jumped 37kg's is just crazy.
@@Vorador47 it was strongman's equivalent of the 4 min mile
Not sure about greatest but definitely one of
@@nesto9889 what would be the greatest then?
I really can't tell you why, but that last close up shot on Beasts face on that lift brought literal tears to my eyes. The shear determination and grit is unmatched and something to strive for.
Same man, crazy
Gay
@@alexmason8102 you? We already know.
his eyes literally changed color to a bright bright blue
He said that the reason why he looked liked that is because as he closes his eyes, he imagined he was lifting a car out from his kids.
That deadlift while the crowd was screaming though... I can't imagine how it must have felt seeing all those people witness him making history WOW man what a legend
That's the part that Thor missed out on. Well that and lifting the right weights 😜
We kinda get a brief feel of the experience and excitement, that shit gave me chills, can only imagine how Eddie was feeling. Absolutely remarkable
I heard that him holding the 500kg at the top caused a majority of those health issues after, instead of just instantly releasing weight, he took in the moment of glory no other human has done. He said it was worth every second.
I heard it was brain bleed he suffered, god damn it was totally worth the pain
@@petershortland478 he was bleeding from his eyes, ears, and nose. Not to mention that 4 separate EMT's couldn't get his blood pressure to read on a EKG monitor. He definitely came close to death
@@petershortland478 not really. Man nearly died because of it...
@@alwayspooh1588 shut up
Dude wanted the lift more than anything else. Even said he probably would have gotten himself killed chasing it if he couldn't get it. In an interview he said if he could do it again he would, and admitted his lifestyle is costing him decades of his life. Its just what passion does to a man.
"I'm only 6 foot 3"...me sitting here at 5 foot 8 on a good day :-)
Same here brother, same here.
Same lol
Me too...
I felt that.
@@ii_Prodigyyy thank you. It means a lot. I'm 5ft 8 but feel 6ft 8 after all my fellow extremely average height brothers showed some love.
The pressure in front of the masses makes this so much harder than what Halfthor did. Eddies achievement is the greatest no matter how many people come after and beat it. He did it 1st.
And he is not as big as that other guy. In terms of body size to strength ratio he is definitely the strongest man alive.
@@nymbusDeveloper86 That. Body sizes makes so much difference and still Eddie was able to lift it under much harder conditions.
@@Easore I mean to be fair, the reverse could also be true. Eddie is shorter therefore hasn't got to lift the weight up nearly as high.
And thor used fake weights.
We don't know what half Thor did he did it in practice. Such a petty loser.
greatest 500kg lift in the human history in front of big crowd!!! Eddie the king
The medics rushing to the scene looks like an F1 pitstop.
haha - true! Plus, if they are fast enough they get on tv, I think! lol
Hahaha so true I was thinking the same 😂
ya and eddie probably out weighs an f1 car hahaha
@@noahsayoc8571 A F1 car weighs 1,600lbs or 740kg so he’s not too far off from being able to lift it 😂
@@jonsmith6087 so true I was gonna commet same
If that 500kg lift doesn’t bring you to tears, I don’t know what to say
It’s just fucken incredible would have never thought it was possible if it wasn’t for him fr
@Scott Grudziadz if he didn’t lock out they would not even have counted that
If that 500kgs lift doesnt bring blood to your nose i dont know what to say
@Scott Grudziadz you’re not very smart are you?
How many is that in pounds?
After that squat, Brian truly looked concerned, and that’s what makes him so great. Despite Eddie just beating him in reps, he was concerned and not bothered by being beat.
True
A true epitome of the gentle giant
The 500kg lift is so insane. It has a mini docu as well. The mentality and dedication he showed to achieve that is insane
I don't care what anyone says, Eddie's 500kg pull is the greatest feat of strength in human history!
Dont be ridiculous dude have you seen Lasha Talakhadze's lifts
@@5mysoluap978 Eddie would never pass doping tests. That is certainty. As for him beating records well it's just your opinion that has no basis in reality.
No mark Felix is
@@arnaldocardoso1484 I'm pretty sure a few guys have done it at this point. I thought I remembered hearing there's been like 4+ others who have done it (including Thor). Might be wrong though.
@an 17121981 olympic lifts are strength and explosiveness combined. What Eddie did is pure strength.
“GET OFF ME” never seen 5 blokes move so fast
Man just lifted 1100 pounds I would been like shit, yessir
Oo
he said that because the man whispering in his ear told him to make it look "easy", to stand up.
@@angelpadilla6198 are you serious or joking? I'm genuinely interested
@@yugi9777 He said it himself in his video eddie himself made. Its such a cool video to watch. I would recommend it.
This is inspiring beyond words.. The most incredible piece of determination I have ever seen...
0:01 The Best T-Shirt that even strong man was struggling to tear out.
Eddie is an absolute legend. Proud of our man, first Brit to win WSM in decades. Big love to the big man.
He's a legend, a pure strong and proud man, with a real fighter's mentality The Beast is the best
He also has a fantastic attitude. I love the guy... wish I could meet him. He is definitely one of my top 3 favorite guys within the world of WSM.
I'm American he's an honorary cowboy.
The Beast wasn't just a joke, the man is purely awesome. Love the guy, great sense of humor but also knows when to go full berserk.
mental strength. he fought all his life for this moment . be the strongest man in the world. he crossed his own limits. own life on risk. This sport is very dangerous.
Eddie hall : I'm only 6'3 Me : Laugh in 5'9
I hear u
Me: laughs in 5'7" as a tear rolls down my cheek 🥲
But doesn't muscle and fat like that make you grow taller? I thought that's how it was.
@@lazydj1113 no
@@eoincrotty7319 oh ok
Everyone was cheering after the 500-kilo deadlift except for his wife; she was really worried. After seeing he was okay, you could see the relief on her face. That's a real wife out there.
I remember my first time seeing the 500kg deadlift... Eddie Hall is one of the strongest men of all time.... and I truly believe in 2017 he was the strongest man alive...
After pulling off such a feat, I don't think anyone doubted that he was the strongest man alive, not even his opponents. That year was his year for sure.
I like how Eddie thinks he's a normal man even though the man is a freak of nature
He looks like normal if you compare to Brian Shaw and Thor who are giants.
He lools like a rly tall dad that can only bench 300 but however he is literally strong enough to punch you through a wall
Not no normal wall either im talking bout prison walls
@@usui4016 he can bench 305kg
@@dennisruud825 he was talking about pounds
Shaw is such a teddy bear. He was legitimately very concerned. One of the biggest strongest dudes alive and also one of the nicest
Eddie and Brian are besties too
Brian is the nicest tho. Someone correct me if you can but I don’t think you can.
@@driessen16 not only the nicest strongman but just about the nicest person i've ever known about. especially when he has every right to have a massive ego with the feats he's accomplished. love the guy
met him in 2021 and he’s one of the nicest people i’ve ever met
Thank god he is. Imagine the damage he could do if he was in a bad mood and went full episode of COPS LOL.
The deadlift was the craziest,and forever will be.
The last lift bought a tear to my eye, so much heart, passion and power.
Not to mention he's got the amazing pressing power as well as deadlifting and squatting. He almost broke Big-Z's log lift world record as well! Eddie Hall in his prime was just perfect. One of the GOATs
Definitely not one of the GOATs in strongman. He was a beast, but he won 1 WSM title, never made the podium at the Arnold Classic and never won Europe's Strongest Man. Static strength-wise, he's one of the GOATs for sure though
@@TheJoker-yz8dv Agreed! If he'd maintained that level of strength for few more years, he definitely could've been.
@@TheJoker-yz8dv pure strength, he is definitely the goat
Lol
@@God-gi9iu the god has spoken

@@navneetkaushik2482 accurate
@@navneetkaushik2482 sorry , but if you believe a garbage japanese cartoon cringe character could even come close to real life strongman , then you're dumbest on the planet
Brian's look of concern is a thing of beauty after the 15 reps. That's a brotherly love.
Only three people in history have lifted a thousand pounds and this guy lives 1100 This guy is really disciplined Much love and respect great content
its closer to 15 who have lifted 1000.
a year after his origonal comment, yes @@willh1655
That 500 kilo stare to the crowd. Totally awesome!!!
Hello Fred, how u doing?
Interesting how 3 of the top 5 are Eddie beating Thor.
Soon to be 6 (maybe)
Well we can make a very long compilation of Thor beating Eddie because Thor beat Eddie far more times
Nobody said Eddie didn't have events he was the best at. But talk about full competition and he wouldn't come out on top with Thor, that's just a fact.
Which makes sense because thor was the man to beat during Eddie's prime. For a short period of time these two have been dominating
Roided results are invalid. Fake muscles. Fake strength. Fake titles. It is all just entertainment and it has no meaning.
He’s the first person to *officially* deadlift 500kg. Nobody can take that away from him.
@6:48 that look in Brian's face, you can tell he was genuinely worried about Eddie... Brain really is so pure.
I still wish Eddie went higher on the axle press. He 100% had 500lbs in him
Definitely not
@@wq198mnr the hell do you mean
He said he won't be maxing out coz a lot events are still going next.
As meantiond, he didn't want to tire himself too much beacuse he had many more events to do, but surely he could have easily done 225kg.
Yep 100% that went up easy and he was conserving himself. To me his shoulder strength is Eddies most impressive feat
Eddie holding that final lift is the most sick thing I’ve ever seen
The slow motion part when he turns his head is too
@@geico_drip9878 he wanted to show EVERYONE that he actually lifted 500kgs, and locked it out for 6 seconds as well
I just love Eddie Hall from the bottom of my heart! He is the epitome of extraordinary strength, magnetic personality and being human at the same time... Wish him and his family the very best always ...
Watched the 500kg deadlift 500 times and yet still get goosebumps!! Such an incredible Eddie is.. 😮
And hafthor faked it

@@abhijithanilkumar4959 eddie lifted 500kg longer than thor lifted 501kg so it could be argued that eddies lift put more strain on him
There is a reason why Eddie is called "THE BEAST" .He is a Monster.😎
@@meatbasedvegan4859 this beast is like no other
@@meatbasedvegan4859 haters gonna hate
@@meatbasedvegan4859 how many WSM have you won and how many world records you got?
Roided results are invalid. Fake muscles. Fake strength. Fake titles. It is all just entertainment and it has no meaning.
@@meatbasedvegan4859 there is no literal difference. They're just terms
It’s honestly incredible watching these men perform these feats of strength.
I love how legendary the 500kg deadlift was. Like he lifted a weight previously unclaimed by anyone in recorded humanity ever a mere mortal touching a godly amount of weight, and it nearly killed him.
Eddie breaking the axle OHP record with literally 0 leg drive and way more energy still in the tank is honestly one of the most dominant moments in modern strongman. It's a shame we never saw him try his maximum effort on the axle, cuz I feel like if he gave it, he would have been able to get over 510lbs
Honestly maybe cause he almost locked out the log press wr with a snapped ankle
Какие 510 он 1100 фунтов поднял вообще то
It was 1100 pounds that he lifted that day. Top right corner shows 500KG. 500 KG is over 1100 pounds. 250 kg is probably he does for reps before a light workout without breakfast.
Eddi in2017 was a beast.. scary strong. I never realise Eddie had a victory over Hafthor in stones before also… that was neews to me. I dont think that ever happened again?
I’m not sure he did - that’s why we included that stone run. No doubt Hafthor is /was the bench Mark in stone lifting
It never happened again no.
Eddie, especially in the later parts of his strongman career was a world-class stone lifter. I do not think he could have challenged Brian for max stone due to his short arms, but he treated the regular stones like basketballs.
Looked like the humidity affected Thor’s tacky since even the first stone was slipping on him
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN he's not the king anymore, we got our boy Tom Stoltman for that, the real king of the stones.
That 500kg lift is just something else. Sure, someone broke it since, but that moment, lifting it, holding it there, looking around as though to say "I'm the best in the world, I WILL enjoy this!" is just something only Eddie could do.
My God it truly is a great thing to witness the legendary strength of this man!
We are are in such decade of great strongmens, Zydrunas, Brian Shaw, Thor, Eddie, and now Martin Licis, Iron Biby, Kieliszkowski, amazing
Kyriakos too
Strongmen*
Wanna throw in another name there, Kirill Sarychev. Amazing powerlifter. He had the world record in raw benchpress with 335kg (RAAAW!!) and also have the world record for three lift powerlift with the combined weight of 1082.5kg, he benched 320kg, squated 360kg and deadlifter 402.5kg. I know that he isn't in the same sport, the ones you said are all strongmen, Kirill is a powerlifter, but I think that his feats is worth meantioning and to be impressed with in this area!
Mariusz????
The more I watch that 500kg pull, the more amazed I am
The greatest Deadlift in history
Dude for real
@Scott Grudziadz either this or bennys 460 RAW
@@abrahamsanchez7455 460kg was either fake and many talk about their plates being not calibrated. And when Benni did the 461WR with suit and straps he struggles a lot. While Eddie made a comeback on 2015 WDC after he drop the WR. He did 463WR half naked which was more impressive than Benni.
Roided results are invalid. Fake muscles. Fake strength. Fake titles. It is all just entertainment and it has no meaning.
The admiration I have, for this man is unmeasurable.
Goosebumps still after all those years
*6:48*see brian worrying about eddie🥺
love their bromance
Those dudes did shows, competitions and videos together for a while, they know each other well. Those cute character moments is what truly brings the highest levels of the sport together imo, you can see they have no beef with each other
I love how when Eddie was in the ground after squatting you could tell Brian was more concerned about his friends health than the event
Hello Paul, how u doing?
Amazing video!Enjoy every movement👍
got me in tears..
Eddie Hall: I'm only 6'3"!!! Me standing at 5'5": yes sir, understandable. Have a nice day sir.
The axle press which has still not been beaten at 216kg is impressive but when you watch it it looked like he was gonna do another and that he could probably do 230kg
Yeah, he could bench 265 kg for 6 easy reps. He said bench presses helps a lot on axle press and log lift.
@@MattWithTheCat4541 Really, never knew lol
Shame as iron biby just broken his wr by 1kg but Eddie respects that as it was in a show not like Thor in his home gym 🐍
Iron bibby did 217 kg but I find eddies more impressive he did that effortlessly haha
Incredible!! Honour and respect!
RESPECT TO EDDIE FROM THE USA GOD BLESS YOU EDDIE YOU ARE A FREAKING LEGEND.
The “GET OFF ME” has a lot of power everyone move out so fast
@suprised duck 10:49
yeah, he was more respectful toward medics when he was half dead on a stretcher backstage 10min later... "dont film this mate"... Eddie is stupid, almost died for holding a weight to "look badass"... being ridiculous can kill it seems.
@@kawan3661 It's passion. Not everyone's priorities are the same.
Insane, love it Eddie!
That crowd when he got the axle press was insane. Had no idea strength sports events got crowds like that
The look on his wife's face when he collapsed after the deadlift. I teared up. ❤️
and he almost died after that. He went blind for a long time and was lucky to survive, he explained it on a video.
@@vanessaruiz4705 I didn't know that! Damn. Glad the beast made it through. 🙏🏼
@@rannethtan The nosebleed is actually the most normal thing about that. The narrators explained it a little bit in the clip but basically the blood vessels inside your nose are very small, fragile, and close to the surface, so they're much more prone to bleeding.
In one of the deepest eras ever, & in an era full of literal Giants, 6'2 Eddie (he's not 6'3) reached the pinnacle of the sport & was undoubtedly for a time the strongest guy (statically) on the planet. Wasn't bad at moving events either to be fair. Shame he walked away but he still left an indelible mark on strength sport history.
Why did he walk away? Health reasons? Or he was just done
@@XDMIIIIIIIII Health reasons. Had a lot of health scares when staying at that weight due to his shorter frame.
@@Arcticun fuckin crazy to even think 6’2 would be considered short lol
You know his height more so than him?
He's 191 cm. That's a little over 6'3.
"I dont have the height I'm only 6'3." I dont know how many other times that sentence could be uttered where it is still somehow true.
I tear up watching this! What a warrior!
Still get emotional with Eddie’s 500kg achievement. Truely the beast.
The thing is even after the 500kg lift and everyone was helping him you could see him go “Get Off Of Me” what a badass
What a lift man. Really it was a great lift. Salute to you
It’s so crazy seeing ppl smile and and cheering at the same time a guy is struggling to even breathe but at the same time that’s what the athletes do it for is to be cheered for , it’s just crazy , Eddie really is great athlete he deserves all the respect and praise in the sport
Fighting through pain is the strongest strength ever. Respect Eddie xx
Yes women do it all the time giving birth and I do it every day with my severe chronic pain illnesses,where are our medals lol
Deep down everyone gets scared after watching Eddie lifting 500kg we don't wanna loose this man but he did it... He's an absolute animal 💢😤😞
Not only is he a living embodiment of an ancient god he's absolutely hilarious. He has me in stitches every single post I'd love to meet the guy
Eddie is reason I go to gym. I go there to have mental health. More problems, harder I lift. And it has helped. Because of Eddie.
I am in awe of these men
Eddie hall has the strongest belly as well 4:28
lol
When he laid down after those squats it gave me so motivation. I’ve felt like giving up the gym. Seeing that hit me hard. He gave it all he had. That’s what I’ve not done. And that he done the dead lift and held it. That put chills over my whole spirit.

This man truly deserves his chosen name THE BEAST! This dude is insane!
Beautiful
This man is some thing else.....this type of motivation can only be achieved by very hard work......
you know the second the gave the down signal he thought “nah mate, if i’m the only person on the planet to lift this you must be mad to think i’m not making sure everyone knows”
Hello Tommy, how u doing?
that 500kg lift is something else man. Wish I got to feel that moment like him. Probably bliss right before some blackout xD
Hell yeah Amazing
Jeez that last lift was incredible and crazy emotional
In recognition of Eddies accomplishments, I have raised multiple spoons of ice cream to my mouth
Hahaha!!
So impressive. That deadlift at the end, wow.
thanks 🤙🤙🤙
That final lift is truly emotional. 👌🏻
I think Eddie Hall is my favorite powerlifter even over the mountain. The man held that deadlift until his nose bled and he blacked out. Now if that's not dedication I don't know what is! Truly inspiring to see! This man can move mountains! Love his confidence too when he said I know I'm the strongest man in the world...
I think he kept holding to it to make sure it is a valid lift. It is heartbreaking and truly inspiring at the same time. You feel pity for the man and respect & admiration at the same time. Truly inspiring. If we could only do this with our own lives. What a champion.
@@nymbusDeveloper86 Why on earth would you feel pity (unless you dont know what the word means)? The man is experiencing the abselute peak of his life work. This is what he toiled towards since he was a teenager and this is the monent where he achieved it.

This is motivation.
