Strongman Eddie Hall is religiously preparing for his bodybuilding debut in 2023. Previously, Hall was into boxing but he eventually decided to quit considering the sport’s intense travel schedule and lower-than-expected wages. Gearing up for a new career path, Hall is leaving no room to build a chiseled physique. Moreover, the former strongman’s biggest inspiration to never quit follows him at the gym. In his recent Instagram picture, Hall revealed what inspires him to the greatest level.
Recently, the 2017 winner of World’s Strongest Man shared a few glimpses of lifting weights at the gym. He was also accompanied by his little cheerleader and biggest inspiration—his son, Maximus.

In the video, the strongman turned bodybuilder tries hard to complete the last few reps of lifting the dumbbells. Although he appears to be struggling, Max pushes him from behind encouraging him to do ‘one more’. Moreover, after achieving his set goal, he showed his appreciation for his ‘biggest inspiration’ saying, ‘thanks buddy’ followed by a quick fist bump.
Previously, Max was not a part of Hall’s gym vlogs. According to Hall, his son had wished to join him after turning 10. So, after Max’s 10th birthday last year, Hall took him to the gym for his first-ever gym session. Moreover, after getting a grip on the basics, Max was set to try something new.
