In his recent video with Jamie Johal, Hall did some insane training with the bodybuilding giant. However, towards the end of the video, Hall mentioned he was planning on increasing his weight more and then focusing on structuring the body. 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 Jamie seemed to be impressed by “The Beast” and his distinctive method, some were left thinking – why was the ex-strongman choosing a hard road? In one of his recent videos, famous YouTuber Nick’s Strength and Power also discussed Hall’s uncommon bodybuilding training idea.
He said, “I think this is an interesting approach, to say the least. 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.
“Realistically, if Eddie cuts down to a lean enough stage weight to be on a bodybuilding stage. He’s probably not gonna have the same muscle mass as a pro bodybuilder, right off the bat,” the YouTuber added. Although it may seem like an absurd move, Hall is known to do the unthinkable. This includes doing 1100 pounds deadlift.
How did Hall create history?
In 2016, in Europe’s Strongest Man competition, the former strongman did the impossible when he successfully attempted a 1100 pound deadlift. However, the “strong” act almost cost Hall his life, as he had blood coming out of his nose, tear ducts, and ears. Regardless, he did it.
