Eddie Hall is known for pushing the limits when it comes to his strength but he may have gone too far this time. In a recent YouTube video shared on October 21, 2024, Hall tore his tricep after attempting two reps of dumbbell shoulder presses, which amounted to a staggering 220 pounds.
In the world of Strongman, Eddie Hall is a legend known for his incredible feats of strength. At one point, Hall held the world record for the deadlift, reaching 1,102 pounds in 2016. Shortly after, in 2017, Eddie Hall earned the title of World’s Strongest Man. In 2018, Eddie Hall decided to finally end his storied strongman career, leaving behind a legacy of accomplishments. His rival, Hafthor Bjornsson, eventually broke Hall’s record with an earth-shattering 1,104-pound (501-kilogram) deadlift.
Hall hasn’t limited himself to just one sport, though. Instead, he has participated in several fitness adventures ranging from combat sports to trying out new diets, such as the carnivore diet that has helped him lose 15 pounds in just 30 days.
