“Blood Rushing Out of His Eyes”: Despite Scientists Predicting It’s Impossible, Strongman Giant Eddie Hall Nearly Died During His World Record Deadlift in 2016

Eddie Hall, the former World’s Strongest man and an aspiring bodybuilder now, holds multiple Strongman titles to his name. But there is one incident or a record that fans of Eddie can never forget. In 2016, Hall deadlifted 1, 102 lbs and was declared the first man to ever do it.

But that did not come easy as even doctors said he could have lost his life because of lifting such enormous weight. Recently, Luke Wawrin, an Instagram fitness influencer, gave more insight into the iconic incident.

Eddie Hall had blood coming out of his eyes

Yesterday, Wawrin posted a reel on his Instagram account about Hall’s 2016 deadlift. He started the video by saying, “How did Eddie Hall almost die attempting his world record deadlift?” Then talked about the whole incident, “The Beast, Eddie Hall was deadlifting in Europe’s strongest man in 2016. At that time, he was 28 years old and was attempting a 500 KG or 1,102 LB deadlift.”

Wawrin also stated that a scientist had told Eddie that the lift was humanly impossible and that he could die. Hall apparently had adopted the “fight-or-flight mindset.” ‘The Beast’ successfully attempted the weightlift but burst his head nerves after winning the world record that caused blood to come out of his eyes. Wawrin further in the reel, stated that, “Blood was rushing out of his eyes, ears, and nose.”

About the 2016 incident, Eddie had also said in one of his YouTube videos, “I just laid down on my back and stared at the ceiling. I thought this is where I’m going to die.”He added, “People were wiping blood out of my ears, I had blood in my tear ducts in my eyes, and I had blood coming out of my nose.”

Eddie thought of his kids

In the video by Luke, he mentioned that “he used a scenario in a car is crushing a kid, and her mom can pick up the vehicle. He used that scenario, and in his head, he thought a car was on his kid as he was walking up to the bar on stage.”

The strongman broke the world record with his determination, but he also lost vision for some time after completing the deadlift. His blood pressure took 2 to 3 hours to stabilize. Hall fully recovered after two weeks of the competition.
