Eddie Hall deadlifts 500kg

[Salt USMC]

Yup. No belt, no suit, eleven hundred solid-ass pounds

Yeah, I know it's strongman style, but who gives a shit?

I can almost hear intervertebral discs screaming ; crunch, crunch, snap, pop:dead:.

Impressive lift.

I'm pretty sure that his spine has been completely replaced by muscle at this point. Dude's a beast

I'm sure he has worked his way up to this lift. Still, more than a half ton without external supports is rather mind blowing. If you think about how small the verteberal facet joints are, and the disc space loading; I just cringe watching the lift and hold.

I do congratulate him to have spent all the time and effort to lift such a load. If you have a flat tire, and no car jack, this guy could be a huge help.

Oh sure, but I mean his best back in 2015 was only like 1015 (I say "only", but it's anything but) and adding 85lbs in less than a year when you're already at the upper limits of human strength is pretty insane. The guy is an absolutely animal.

Dasboot: "hey guys I did 315x5 today for the first time!"
(opens thread, watches videos, goes to his company area, goes to his squad cage, opens his locker, curls up inside, cries...)

A bit about the aftereffects of that lift:

Eric Hall deadlifts 500kg - but passes out when blood vessels burst

Heavy deadlifts place a massive strain on the central nervous system. While obviously nowhere near what Eddie Hall has lifted, I, and many others, have experienced effects that can last a couple days from a heavy deadlift session. It's almost like a mini-hangover.
