Oh yeah!

Wow

Yeah!

Hell yeah. Great edit, folks. Much love.

Yeah. So much

Think maybe he means because he's not as tall and has to get so fat to be so strong but ye bit contradictory haha

They probably all have the Hercules gene

@@mitchellcotton7346 Yeah, I think to even have a chance of getting to the top of any of the strongman tiers you probably need that myostatin gene or you just won't build enough muscle. Negative about the hercules gene is you're pretty much guaranteed to not live past 80 or so, but who needs to live much older than that?

@@TheBruceKeller 80? More like 60, buddy. Especially how he trained and the weight he got to.

"im only 6'3" lol, uhm thats like 99th percentile

Totally agree. It will never, ever be this good again. The beast made history and that awesome deadlift will go go down in history as the greatest feat of strength of all time, pure drama of the highest calibre.

yeah, normally WR's go up by 1-5 kg's, the fact that he jumped 37kg's is just crazy.

@@Vorador47 it was strongman's equivalent of the 4 min mile

Not sure about greatest but definitely one of

@@alexmason8102 you? We already know.

his eyes literally changed color to a bright bright blue

He said that the reason why he looked liked that is because as he closes his eyes, he imagined he was lifting a car out from his kids.

That's the part that Thor missed out on. Well that and lifting the right weights 😜

We kinda get a brief feel of the experience and excitement, that shit gave me chills, can only imagine how Eddie was feeling. Absolutely remarkable

I heard it was brain bleed he suffered, god damn it was totally worth the pain

@@petershortland478 he was bleeding from his eyes, ears, and nose. Not to mention that 4 separate EMT's couldn't get his blood pressure to read on a EKG monitor. He definitely came close to death

@@petershortland478 not really. Man nearly died because of it...

@@alwayspooh1588 shut up

Dude wanted the lift more than anything else. Even said he probably would have gotten himself killed chasing it if he couldn't get it. In an interview he said if he could do it again he would, and admitted his lifestyle is costing him decades of his life. Its just what passion does to a man.

Same here brother, same here.

Same lol

Me too...

I felt that.

@@ii_Prodigyyy thank you. It means a lot. I'm 5ft 8 but feel 6ft 8 after all my fellow extremely average height brothers showed some love.

And he is not as big as that other guy. In terms of body size to strength ratio he is definitely the strongest man alive.

@@nymbusDeveloper86 That. Body sizes makes so much difference and still Eddie was able to lift it under much harder conditions.

@@Easore I mean to be fair, the reverse could also be true. Eddie is shorter therefore hasn't got to lift the weight up nearly as high.

And thor used fake weights.

We don't know what half Thor did he did it in practice. Such a petty loser.

haha - true! Plus, if they are fast enough they get on tv, I think! lol

Hahaha so true I was thinking the same 😂

ya and eddie probably out weighs an f1 car hahaha

@@noahsayoc8571 A F1 car weighs 1,600lbs or 740kg so he’s not too far off from being able to lift it 😂

@@jonsmith6087 so true I was gonna commet same

It’s just fucken incredible would have never thought it was possible if it wasn’t for him fr

How many is that in pounds?

True

A true epitome of the gentle giant

Dont be ridiculous dude have you seen Lasha Talakhadze's lifts

No mark Felix is

@@arnaldocardoso1484 I'm pretty sure a few guys have done it at this point. I thought I remembered hearing there's been like 4+ others who have done it (including Thor). Might be wrong though.

@an 17121981 olympic lifts are strength and explosiveness combined. What Eddie did is pure strength.

Man just lifted 1100 pounds I would been like shit, yessir

Oo

he said that because the man whispering in his ear told him to make it look "easy", to stand up.

@@angelpadilla6198 are you serious or joking? I'm genuinely interested

@@yugi9777 He said it himself in his video eddie himself made. Its such a cool video to watch. I would recommend it.

He's a legend, a pure strong and proud man, with a real fighter's mentality The Beast is the best

He also has a fantastic attitude. I love the guy... wish I could meet him. He is definitely one of my top 3 favorite guys within the world of WSM.

I'm American he's an honorary cowboy.

The Beast wasn't just a joke, the man is purely awesome. Love the guy, great sense of humor but also knows when to go full berserk.

mental strength. he fought all his life for this moment . be the strongest man in the world. he crossed his own limits. own life on risk. This sport is very dangerous.

I hear u

But doesn't muscle and fat like that make you grow taller? I thought that's how it was.

@@lazydj1113 no

@@eoincrotty7319 oh ok

After pulling off such a feat, I don't think anyone doubted that he was the strongest man alive, not even his opponents. That year was his year for sure.

He looks like normal if you compare to Brian Shaw and Thor who are giants.

He lools like a rly tall dad that can only bench 300 but however he is literally strong enough to punch you through a wall

Not no normal wall either im talking bout prison walls

@@usui4016 he can bench 305kg

Eddie and Brian are besties too

Brian is the nicest tho. Someone correct me if you can but I don’t think you can.

met him in 2021 and he’s one of the nicest people i’ve ever met

Thank god he is. Imagine the damage he could do if he was in a bad mood and went full episode of COPS LOL.

Definitely not one of the GOATs in strongman. He was a beast, but he won 1 WSM title, never made the podium at the Arnold Classic and never won Europe's Strongest Man. Static strength-wise, he's one of the GOATs for sure though

@@TheJoker-yz8dv Agreed! If he'd maintained that level of strength for few more years, he definitely could've been.

Hello Fred, how u doing?

Soon to be 6 (maybe)

Well we can make a very long compilation of Thor beating Eddie because Thor beat Eddie far more times

Nobody said Eddie didn't have events he was the best at. But talk about full competition and he wouldn't come out on top with Thor, that's just a fact.

Which makes sense because thor was the man to beat during Eddie's prime. For a short period of time these two have been dominating

Roided results are invalid. Fake muscles. Fake strength. Fake titles. It is all just entertainment and it has no meaning.

its closer to 15 who have lifted 1000.

a year after his origonal comment, yes @@willh1655

Definitely not

@@wq198mnr the hell do you mean

He said he won't be maxing out coz a lot events are still going next.

As meantiond, he didn't want to tire himself too much beacuse he had many more events to do, but surely he could have easily done 225kg.

Yep 100% that went up easy and he was conserving himself. To me his shoulder strength is Eddies most impressive feat

The slow motion part when he turns his head is too

@@geico_drip9878 he wanted to show EVERYONE that he actually lifted 500kgs, and locked it out for 6 seconds as well

Honestly maybe cause he almost locked out the log press wr with a snapped ankle

Какие 510 он 1100 фунтов поднял вообще то

It was 1100 pounds that he lifted that day. Top right corner shows 500KG. 500 KG is over 1100 pounds. 250 kg is probably he does for reps before a light workout without breakfast.

I’m not sure he did - that’s why we included that stone run. No doubt Hafthor is /was the bench Mark in stone lifting

It never happened again no.

Eddie, especially in the later parts of his strongman career was a world-class stone lifter. I do not think he could have challenged Brian for max stone due to his short arms, but he treated the regular stones like basketballs.

Looked like the humidity affected Thor’s tacky since even the first stone was slipping on him

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN he's not the king anymore, we got our boy Tom Stoltman for that, the real king of the stones.

Kyriakos too

Strongmen*

Wanna throw in another name there, Kirill Sarychev. Amazing powerlifter. He had the world record in raw benchpress with 335kg (RAAAW!!) and also have the world record for three lift powerlift with the combined weight of 1082.5kg, he benched 320kg, squated 360kg and deadlifter 402.5kg. I know that he isn't in the same sport, the ones you said are all strongmen, Kirill is a powerlifter, but I think that his feats is worth meantioning and to be impressed with in this area!

Mariusz????

The greatest Deadlift in history

Dude for real

@Scott Grudziadz either this or bennys 460 RAW

@@abrahamsanchez7455 460kg was either fake and many talk about their plates being not calibrated. And when Benni did the 461WR with suit and straps he struggles a lot. While Eddie made a comeback on 2015 WDC after he drop the WR. He did 463WR half naked which was more impressive than Benni.

love their bromance

Those dudes did shows, competitions and videos together for a while, they know each other well. Those cute character moments is what truly brings the highest levels of the sport together imo, you can see they have no beef with each other

Hello Paul, how u doing?

Yeah, he could bench 265 kg for 6 easy reps. He said bench presses helps a lot on axle press and log lift.

@@MattWithTheCat4541 Really, never knew lol

Shame as iron biby just broken his wr by 1kg but Eddie respects that as it was in a show not like Thor in his home gym 🐍

Iron bibby did 217 kg but I find eddies more impressive he did that effortlessly haha

@suprised duck 10:49

yeah, he was more respectful toward medics when he was half dead on a stretcher backstage 10min later... "dont film this mate"... Eddie is stupid, almost died for holding a weight to "look badass"... being ridiculous can kill it seems.

@@kawan3661 It's passion. Not everyone's priorities are the same.

and he almost died after that. He went blind for a long time and was lucky to survive, he explained it on a video.

@@vanessaruiz4705 I didn't know that! Damn. Glad the beast made it through. 🙏🏼

@@rannethtan The nosebleed is actually the most normal thing about that. The narrators explained it a little bit in the clip but basically the blood vessels inside your nose are very small, fragile, and close to the surface, so they're much more prone to bleeding.

Why did he walk away? Health reasons? Or he was just done

@@XDMIIIIIIIII Health reasons. Had a lot of health scares when staying at that weight due to his shorter frame.

@@nymbusDeveloper86 Why on earth would you feel pity (unless you dont know what the word means)? The man is experiencing the abselute peak of his life work. This is what he toiled towards since he was a teenager and this is the monent where he achieved it.
