The World’s Strongest Men are famous for surpassing all limits of the human body. The former World’s Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, has put his body through physical torment in lieu of training and created some earth-shattering records. He followed a scientific approach to make his body surpass every human limit.
In a recent video uploaded on the Instagram page, fi1tbody Hall shared the scenario that was on his mind when he lifted 1102 pounds and made a world record back in 2016. However, his fans are not in favor of the scenario created by Hall in his mind for lifting and setting such a massive weight record. His fans even compared him to Hafthor Bjornsson.

In the video, Hall disclosed that a scientist explained to him that he could not lift such a weight. The scientist explained no human body is capable of lifting such a weight. The Beast then went to a hypnotherapist and psychiatrist to create a scenario that helped him achieve the milestone that was impossible to achieve without that impetus.

“You got a woman and kids under a car, and they can lift the car off their kids. And why is that? It’s the fight-or-flight scenario,” explained Hall. He added that those scenarios make you capable of doing extraordinary feats of strength when you’re put in such a scenario. He continued that you can’t fake these scenarios and use immense strength by just clicking a finger.
The Beast said,” So that’s the scenario I had to create in my head, where the psychiatrist or the hypnotherapist was able to create a scenario in my head.” He continued that he created a pinch point in the back of his hand and pinched it before walking toward 1102 pounds to lift it. He mentioned he wasn’t lifting the deadlift; he was lifting a car off the kids, and that’s the only way he could have lifted such a heavyweight.
However, the fans were not in favor and did not support Hall’s lifting technique. Fans criticized the Beast for his words that he faked the scenario himself for the lift.

One fan commented on the explanation of the scenario that Hall gave and commented,” Can’t be faked” “So anyways, here’s how I faked it”.“ Another compared the Beast to Thor and wrote,” And then there’s Thor Bjornsson casually lifting 501kg without struggling.” A follower passed a funny remark about Hall’s technique and commented,” He just traumatized himself to lift more.“
An Instagram user highlighted,” Thor lifted more without this cr*p.” A fitness enthusiast explained the scenario as an adrenaline rush, commenting,” That’s what let’s humans do superhuman things. But you can’t fake an adrenaline release.” While among these one commented,” @thorbjornsson snapped his fingers and did it without breaking a sweat and did an interview immediately after.”
