A video posted back in January saw Hall announcing his bodybuilding debut in 2024. Hall stated, “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.” 

Reacting to this, YouTuber Nick’s Strength and Power said, “If I were him, I would just start cutting down.” Nick also seemed to be worried about Hall’s debut at the bodybuilding stage, where “The Beast” might not be able to produce the expected results.
