Eddie Hall is a name synonymous with strength and powerlifting. Known for his impressive feats of power, the giant set a CrossFit World Record in 2020 for doing 31 reps of 135lbs in 50 seconds. It is a record that has stood unbroken for years, as no one even came close to breaking it. However, the famous powerlifter Quin Stott recently made headlines when he finally stood up to the occasion and tried to surpass the record of the British giant.
It’s not surprising that Hall’s CrossFit world record has stood unbroken for so long as it requires an immense amount of strength, endurance, and training. But Stott recently grabbed a lot of eyeballs as he gave his best shot to break the long-standing record.

Bro is just built different,” he wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.
