Very few might disagree with IFBB pro-Ronnie Coleman‘s legendary status in the bodybuilding world. He has never failed to astonish with his massive strength and athletic finesse, so much so that none of the modern athletes can barely match his skill. Hence, Strongman turned bodybuilder, Eddie Hall seized the opportunity to share a video on YouTube reacting to a few of Coleman’s heavyweight stunts. 

Hall recalled the insane stunts the icon pulled in the past and expressed his admiration for Coleman by hailing him as one of the strongest bodybuilders ever. Besides that, he also shed light on his powerlifting abilities and compared him to elite strength athletes.

As per the video which surfaced on the platform a few hours ago, the 35-year-old pro decided to share his thoughts on the American legend. Mainly focusing on his strength and heavy-weight workouts, Hall noted that despite being a bodybuilder, Coleman could have easily outperformed any strength athlete. 

“This is the thing with Ronnie, he was a bodybuilder, but the weights he moved were legitimately that of a top-tier strength athlete,” he acknowledged. The English athlete further elucidated that there are barely a thousand people on this planet who can deadlift over 700 lbs as The King did.

Later in the video, the 2017 World’s Strongest Man winner seemed blown away by the fact that Coleman deadlifted and squatted 800 pounds. Thus, Hall expressed, “It’s obscene strength, absolutely obscene for a bodybuilder! Remember that, he wasn’t a strength athlete, he was a bodybuilder.” Furthermore, he chimed in with the revelation that he outdid 90% of the strength world with his skillset. As a matter of fact, the Strongman beast himself is preparing for his debut in the bodybuilding world.

Thus, he revealed, “At my peak, I was 433 pounds. So my idea is to get up to 433 pounds by April, that’s another 30 pounds, and then gonna cut by the end of the year. Like bulk, get the muscles big and juicy and then cut.” Although, the bodybuilding community seemed startled by his regime and pondered over its logical significance.
