When did Eddie Hall become the World’s Strongest Man, what is the most he can lift and how much does he weigh?
THERE is a reason why World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall is nicknamed The Beast.
The world-record holding strongman can lift cars, pull planes with his bare hands and throw beer barrels.
When did he become the World's Strongest Man?
Eddie Hall was crowned the World's Strongest Man in 2017 in the 40th edition of the competition.
He finished first ahead of Hafthor Bjornsson and defending champion Brian Shaw.
But Hall announced after his victory that he would not defend his title - and he was dethroned by Bjornsson this year.
The 30-year-old has been crowned UK's Strongest Man six times and Britain's Strongest Man five times.
What is the most that he can lift?
Hall is the only person ever to deadlift half a tonne (500kg).
The Newcastle-born star can squat 405kg, bench press 300kg, log press 211kg and leg press 1100kg.
And he holds the world record axe lift after he heroically pushed up 216kg.
But Hall, speaking on his own website, has revealed that he has paid the price for his dedication to the sport.
He said: "I've lifted weights so heavy that I've woken up in pools of bloods.
"My eyes have almost burst from my head.
"It sounds like madness, but it's not.
"It's a man seeking to be the very best he can be."
How tall is he and how much does he weigh?
Hall claims that he eats over 12,000 calories per day - which means he has to eat a meal every two hours.
As a result, it is reported that he currently weighs 186kg - 29.9 stone.
And he stands at 1.91m - which is 6"2'.
But at his heaviest, he weighed in at 196kg - 30.8 stone.
