Eddie Hall is know as one of the World’s Strongest Men. However, he recently decided to take on the World’s Strongest Woman, Rhianon Lovelace!
Hall won the World’s Strongest Man competition in 2017, cementing himself as one of the most powerful men alive. Since then he has had continued success, maintaining his name in the powerlifting community. Recently, he decided to take on a new challenge, by going head to head with Rhianon Lovelcace.
Lovelace won the World’s Strongest Woman in the -84kg division, in 2018. Moreover, she holds multiple other national and world titles. However, what she is best known for, is her ability to pull over four times her body weight. Therefore, when Hall called her out, she was more than happy to oblige.
Hall and Lovelace went toe to toe, competing in various exercises. These were the exercises, which were adjusted for the weight difference between the two.
- Bench press
- Deadlift
- Squat
- Viking Press
- Yoke
- Hanging
