1102lb Deadlift = a few ruptured blood vessels...

Would love to know what his BP hits under that load..

A British weightlifter set a new record over the weekend when he lifted 1,102 pounds, but the feat didn’t come without consequence. Eddie Hall, 28, burst several blood vessels in his head during the effort, the Yorkshire Evening Post reported.

After the lift, Hall slumped to the ground and staff surrounded him.

"That nearly killed me,” the champion athlete told the Yorkshire Evening Post. “The pressure on my body was surreal. I passed out after. I had nosebleeds. It's not healthy doing something like that.”

Hall’s achievement during the World Deadlift Championships was a world record, as he lifted about 70 pounds more than anyone has done before, the newspaper reported.

Hall, who is 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 406 pounds, hopes to win the title of World’s Strongest Man, a competition that will take place later this year.

"It's that great feeling, like the first man on the moon, the first man to run a mile in under four minutes,” Hall told the newspaper. “It's history, and I'm very proud to be a part of it.”

Damn!

Poor bastard is gonna be dead by 50.

Damn, that's a schit ton!

Well half a schit ton anyways.

That is one big SOB.

Had the same symptoms the day after I ate a whole wheel of cheese....

Neighbor used to participate in local power lifting competitions back when he was younger. Won some trophies doing it. He's probably around 5'8" - 5'10" tall, stocky built, usually weighed somewhere up around 250-300 lbs. Now in his early 60's he's paying the price. His legs are pretty well shot now, especially his knees. Has to use a walker just to get around inside his house and yard, electric cart anywhere farther.

Hard to believe that guy is 6'3" tall, he looks shorter.

he weighs about 400 lbs, too.

He was 6'3" before the lift. He will be lucky if he is over 6' now.

Those guys are monsters. Bennie Magnussen is no ballerina either.

On the other hand, some of us over 60 powerlifters can still be competitive in the open class, like win them. Not to say there is no price to pay, but it is not always crippling. Gotta train intelligently and have good genes.

Good genes and a really good "Dr". Steroid/PED use in Powerlifting is rampant. I doubt even if u were the .00001% of the 1% of genetically gifted people u couldn't pull this off.

Yeah, he's not clean....I don't think humans can pull that much without steroids. I am a drug free powerlifter, and have a lot of friends who juice. They have a lot more injuries. Case in point, in my weight class, I think the best drug free geared bench press (from all federations ) is 550. Non tested is 750. That beats them up considerably.

Yeah what good good did it do him?? Once your head explodes ,no body remembers your name anyway??

The guy who plays the Mountain on Game of Thrones, "Thor" Bjornssen deadlifts something like 450 kg. He set a different record, carrying a huge weight for several steps, which supposedly beat a record set over 1000 years ago. He's also a lot taller than Hall, which is not an advantage.

Yea what got me kinda interested in PED use was the USAADA stuff in the UFC so I did casual research into really what advantages the human body gets from it. Amazing what u have seen in the past on TV with media (TV Shows, Movie stars, Athletes) and now I know they were juiced to the gills. In the UFC there are very few "shredded" guys now. Most of the guys have normal "in shape" bodies now.The human body just doesn't build muscle like that naturally unless u are and mean the smallest percentage of the top 1% gifted genetically. As the mountain guy was referenced earlier in the thread he went from a pretty small built tall guy to a monster in I think 2 years.The body just doesn't work that way. The documentary "Bigger ,Stronger,Faster" the guys brother was going to try to go clean in powerlifting and they figured he would lose 75-100Lbs pretty quickly on his dead lift. Crazy what humans will do.

Steroids or HGH? Yeah, right! If you don't look like this, it's just because you're not dieting and lifting correctly...

LOL
