Eddie Hall Eyeing Up Raw Bench Press WR

Ah, the golden days of Lift, Run, Bang. Replaced by excessively excessive verbiage.

I got one thing from Lewis -the overhead barbell walk. Haven’t read his stuff since his hiatus due to incarceration lol.

I picked up “365 Days of Brutality” from him for $25. That was about the right price.

How’d you get it for 25??

Labor day deal.

Damn, missed that then. I want it, but I don’t want to pay ticket price. What do you think of it so far?

I wouldn’t pay $50 for it. If you’ve been following his blog for a while, you’ve most likely read the majority of the content in his “Baddest MFer Ever” articles, but there’s a few gems in there. I was able to read it a bit at a time over the span of a week.

10% of it is food recipes. Didn’t really care for that.

Did he insert (choice of word intended) the 50% NSFW “stuff”?

Nah, it’s R rather than X rated.

Claims 265 on the chest and 305 at lockout. Gotta love it. As pwn has mentioned, he’ll do whatever to keep people talking about him. Putting the title as “672LBS Bench” is no exception.

Interesting idea.

The man deadlifted 500kg and won WSM against some of the best competitors ever. Throughout the events he was a static monster and specifically a great static presser (overhead).

Do I think he can press 700? Yes. Do I think he could break the world record? Maybe.

Do i think he will? No. Because he’s got too much going on and is enjoying his ‘celebrity’ status too much to really go after it the way he needs to. Maddox is all over the bench press week in week out, Eddie is playing with the bench press between filming this that and the other and i dont think he currently has the determination, or maybe commitment is a better word, to get there.

Who knows, if his hype dies off a little and things get a bit stale for him, then maybe he’ll pick something impressive to do. But not yet.

I totally forgot about this dude, and fun to learn he got locked up. I figured it’d happen one day.

Too many DUIs apparently. He’s out again, and writing frequently on a new site “plague of strength”

If you have a cellmate like that, you better sleep with your ass against the wall.

I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure getting drunk on a regular basis isn’t conducive to breaking world records

That’s why you’ll never be great! Drunk squats are strong squats!

I’m allergic to alcohol. I guess I’m out of contention them :rofl:
