My absolute favourite Eddie Hall video was a workout vlog on his channel. He started with squats, realized he wasn't at his strongest that day and stuck with a "light" working set of 600lbs or whatever, then he told us the importance of listening to your body and knowing when not to push yourself beyond your limits. Not 5 minutes later, he leg pressed 1000kgs, shit himself, and passed out.

Shocked that Dr. Mike didn't comment on eddie not controlling the weight on the way down for that 500 kg lift.

Last time I was this early Eddie Hall was still hydrated

16:42 he didn't recover for 15 minutes. He recovered for weeks. He couldn't remember family members names after for days/weeks later. His CNS was ravaged. EMS immediately afterwards couldn't register a heart rate because it was too fast for the machine. He has a video on his recovery that's worth seeing.

Eddie is the first person to lift 500kg and is still the only person to lift 500kg in competition

The dude spotting for the incline must have been so relieved he didn't have to help in an emergency

Dr Mike and Eddie collab would be the best thing ever

Mike’s most underrated degree is his doctorate in ad reading.  He is the master of not overwatering and weaving them into the videos where they don’t feel shoehorned.  Bravo.

I think it's worth noticing that Eddie's 500kg lift was at the end of a heavy competition, while the other lift was specifically trained and planned for and done under ideal conditions.

11:40 because when you invent a language. You get to use it however you want, me old mate.

Huge miss not doing the 345kg full depth squats for a set of 7 with a pause on the last rep. Or the 420kg deadlift pyramid. Two of the most insane feats of raw strength ever recorded.

"The pronunciation of emphatic/stressed 'my' was [mi:] in Middle English (before the Great Vowel Shift) and its unstressed/unemphatic form was [mi].

The Great Vowel Shift was a vowel change (1400-1700) that shifted almost all the long vowels to diphthongs but it did not affect short vowels. So the pronunciation of emphatic 'my' shifted to [aɪ]* but the short vowel in 'my' [mi] in its unemphatic form remained unaffected in some accents (Northern British, Irish, some Australian accents etc)."

I love how Dr. Mike thinks everyone in the UK has a 19th century London chimney sweep's accent 😅 Eddie's from Stoke which is a very different accent.

To be the first to do something athletic is truly monumental. As a former runner, the closest comparison I can make is Roger Bannister. For those that don't know, Roger Bannister was the first person to break the 4 minute mile. That feat was thought impossible and he did it in 1954 posting a time of 3:59.4. 70 years on close to 2,000 people have done what was once impossible (some in high school). I guess what I'm trying to say is, "Once the impossible is shown to be possible, people believe it to be possible and achieve it." To be the one to break through a barrier first never goes away because even though your record might be broken, it was broken because you set it and made it possible.

Eddie Hall did the 1100lb lift part-way through the 2016 strongman competition he was competing in.
Eddie and other strongmen criticized Thor for doing his lift at home, in his own gym, and FULLY rested, basically in "perfect conditions".
If Thor had done his own lift under the same conditions as Eddie had, i.e., part-way through a strongman competition he was competing in, in front of an expectant crowd, -no one would have had any problem with it. But that's NOT what happened. So in my opinion They were right to do so.

Eddie is pretty active on his YouTube, you should reach out for a collab. Would love to see a vid of him trialling a hypertrophy workout with the RP team, as he said he was trying to transition to body building. Reckon the banter would be well good too! X

Yo shit dude congrats on the black belts that's tremendous

7:30 "Rich Piana's 8 hour arm workout" 😂😂

5:49 I just farted. I thought you were calling ME out for a second.
