Eddie Hall

Eddie Hall is a powerlifter. Over the weekend he became the first man to ever deadlift 500 KG. That's 1,102.31 pounds for those metrically challenged. It's kind of like the holy grail of powerlifting.

The previous record was about 80 pounds less. That was also done by Eddy. He's kind of in a class all by himself when it comes to deadlifts. He's also aware that this kind of heavy lifting is unhealthy. After the 500 KG lift he passed out and his nose started bleeding.

He's thinking about getting into strongman competitions now. They're easier on the system.
