A father imparting his working knowledge is considered a crucial part of a child’s growth into adulthood. And when that child is someone named Maximus Hall, it involves training with lots of heavy weights to build core strength. Recently, 10-year-old Maximus was training with his dad, a bodybuilding beast, where he did deadlifts, pull-down lats, and other workouts. He was clearly punching above his own weight but managed to impress his dad big time.
Maximus’s dad, a 362-lb giant who won the World’s Strongest Man 2017, has also pursued other endeavors like boxing and acting. However, he has since become a YouTuber where he keeps posting his workout videos. His son has a YouTube channel too titled Maximus Hall – Beast Jr, where his father joined him recently for a workout session.

Eddie Hall in his recent Instagram post shared a picture of him with his son Maximus working out on his biceps on a rhomboid machine. He wrote the caption alongside, “Teaching Max the Basics of Strength”, followed by asking everyone to check out the longer video on YouTube. He ended the caption with, “Big Love, The beast”.
In the video, Eddie Hall’s bond with his son is immediately visible, when the 10-year-old Maximus jokes with his dad calling him, “The worst dad in the world”. Hall plays along with the joke. Their workout revolved around the back, which included the following training routine, deadlifts, lat pull-down, and biceps. After Maximus successfully completed the first training routine i.e. deadlifts, he clearly impressed his dad.

Eddie Hall said, “Good job bro. That’s really, really, honestly, amazing. 8 reps of 60 kilos, 3 times… he’s on track to pull a 100 kilo, conventional. Which I think has got to be one of, if not the world record for a 10-year-old to a conventional deadlift, which is insane”. He was equally impressed after they finished the day’s workout as it had only been less than a year since Maximus started training. He said, “You’ve been training what? 6-7 months”. This isn’t the first time the father–son duo has spent time together inside the gym.
Eddie Hall is a proud father
The two have frequently worked out together in the gym, with one such video posted on Eddie Hall’s channel. In the clip, Hall and his son were doing bench workouts, gradually increasing their weight. He praised him for his strength even then, but as a doting father, also pointed out his weak areas.
