There have been multiple instances when bodybuilders have handled the criticism personally by responding to the haters.

The strongman posted a video of him watching Khan Baba, also known as Pakistan’s Hulk, challenging his achievements and records. Arbab Khizer Hayat, a.k.a, Khan Baba commented on Hall’s deadlift record of lifting 500kg (1102 lbs) in weight. “I am lifting 600 kg as soon as possible. If I didn’t pick 600kg I’ll never call myself the strongest man in the world”, says Hayat. Let’s take a look at how the former deadlift record holder clapped back at his critic.
Eddie Hall’s reply to Khan Baba’s allegations
The English actor recently posted a video on his Facebook handle replying to Khan Baba. Hall wore a funny doll-like attire and added extra clothes to look bigger. He mocks the Pakistani social media celebrity, by referring him to as ‘Mr. Blobby’. “I am doing this video because Mr. Blobby calls me out”, Hall said. He further added that he has never heard about Khan Baba, but since he challenged Hall’s capabilities, it was time to prove him wrong.

After lifting the weight, the British bodybuilder went one step further. Hall challenged Khan Baba to a match of slaps between them. Hall said, “I want you to fly to England and me and you will have a slap fight.”
