      I start mma training today , got shot at twice this morning, and they ran off before I could pull my weapon, and then it hit me, if I was to get out. And try to whoop their ass, I have no skill,

    My absolute favourite Eddie Hall video was a workout vlog on his channel. He started with squats, realized he wasn't at his strongest that day and stuck with a "light" working set of 600lbs or whatever, then he told us the importance of listening to your body and knowing when not to push yourself beyond your limits. Not 5 minutes later, he leg pressed 1000kgs, shit himself, and passed out.

      Thor or Brian Shawn could not match Eddie in deadlift competition in same race, that being said, putting one kilo extra to 500kg deadlift is pretty gay when eddie broke his own record with almost 40kg like from 462kg to 500kg.

    I’m from Stoke and I remember seeing a young Eddie Hall do a strength challenge at half time during a football match with a better-known (at the time) strongman.
    We were all cheering for the local lad and he goes and crushes the challenge with ease. A few years later, he’s the strongest in the world.
    Also, the Stoke (Potteries) accent is worlds apart from the cockney-esque. We’re much more likely to call you Duck than Guvna!

      @abdalhadifitouri131 29 дней назад +14

      Such a legendary event. A dude who put it all on the line to do something once thought impossible. Even by the time he did it, he was thought way too short to be able to bulk up enough to be able to move that weight. He ballooned over 400 lbs to be able to be the same weight as substantially taller people

    • @legendarysupernerd
      @legendarysupernerd 29 дней назад +15

      I think another big part of how crazy Eddie's lift was is how much he jumped the record by. Usually it's just one or two pounds, but he beat the prior record by like fifty pounds? Honestly, I feel like that's just as big a deal as the lift itself.

    "The pronunciation of emphatic/stressed 'my' was [mi:] in Middle English (before the Great Vowel Shift) and its unstressed/unemphatic form was [mi].
    The Great Vowel Shift was a vowel change (1400-1700) that shifted almost all the long vowels to diphthongs but it did not affect short vowels. So the pronunciation of emphatic 'my' shifted to [aɪ]* but the short vowel in 'my' [mi] in its unemphatic form remained unaffected in some accents (Northern British, Irish, some Australian accents etc)."

      I thought he didn't talk specifically about the visualization he did because this was rather violent, since he talked about something involving his wife in there, too. I think the lifting the car off the kids was the common example of fight or flight overriding self-preservation from the proprioceptors.

      You are correct sir, the "lifting a car off his children" is just an example, Eddie has said the actual mental scenario is much darker and more personal. Whatever that is, it's for him to know, and for us to wonder how the f**k did his eyes change color 😂

    Thank you for the upload baby bro! Regarding the info you communicated at around: 08:40 concerning consuming isomolar solutions. You missed some essential science details:
    An isomolar solution has the same osmolarity (number of osmoles of solute per liter of solution) as human body fluids, typically around 285-295 mOsm/L. This means that a solution with 8% nutrient solutes in 1000 mL of water would need to have an osmolarity close to this range to be considered isomolar for human physiology. The human gut absorbs nutrients through the intestinal lining, which relies on osmotic gradients to move substances. If a solution is isomolar, it means it won't cause water to move into or out of the cells lining the gut, which helps maintain proper hydration and nutrient absorption.
    The osmolarity of milk is approximately 300 mOsm/kg. This value can vary slightly depending on the specific composition of the milk, including the presence of nutrients like lactose, fats, and proteins. Milks osmolarity is quite close to that of human body fluids, making it effective for rehydration. Additionally, milk provides a rich source of electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, which are essential for maintaining fluid balance in the body. Plus, it contains proteins and carbohydrates that can aid in recovery and provide sustained energy.
    Water, while essential and effective for hydration, doesn't contain these extra nutrients. That's why athletes and people who need to rehydrate after intense activity often turn to beverages like milk & those that do not should!!!
    Peace & Love!!!
    P.S. good to see you come around to the advantages of Burpees & inline with what I mentioned in the comments the last time you "critiqued" them :::))

      UK accents are much more prone to cut words or shorten words then american accents
      american accents are more prone to use exageration to emphasis while Uk accents are more prone to use ommission to emphasis
      an extreme example would be
      "i went down to the shops"
      a UK accent might end up sounding like
      "a-wen t shop"
      while an american accent might end up sounding like
      "i WENT down to the SHOPS"
      because the UK accents basically cut everything that isnt "necesary"
      its why you also get "me nan" not "my nan" cos its not "me" nan its "m' nan"
      all the extra sounds are cut out, and only the important ones that you need for context are left
      unfortunatly, its also why stronger UK accents are harder to understand for non natives, cos they cut out all of the extra sounds that a non native might need to hear to know what was said

    From what I understand, the main crux of the argument against Thor's deadlift was that it was at his own home gym on his own timeline under "ideal" circumstances, whereas Eddie did it in an official competition against other competitors. Both are incredible no matter what, but there's a very solid argument against Thor's being an "official" record. FWIW Brian Shaw thinks Thor's lift should be an "unofficial" record but Eddie's should still be the "official" record

    • @GODOFHELLFIRE3
      @GODOFHELLFIRE3 29 дней назад +18

      Except a lot of those arguments are either untrue or deliberately misleading, because Eddie has worked overtime to propagate misinformation and delegitimise Thor's 501 ever since it happened:
      'Thor did the lift in his gym' ... he did. As part of a sanctioned event with set rules and timings he had to follow. In front of the Head Referee from World's Strongest Man, and a wall of sponsors. While a television camera-crew broadcast the whole event live on ESPN.
      'Thor's dad weighed the plates' ... Thor's dad put the plates on a scale, in front of the Head Referee from World's Strongest Man. The scale weighed the plates.
      'It wasn't in competition' ... competition lifts follow set rules and get judged by a referee, which this did. It was performed to competition standards, and there's documentary evidence that Thor did all the same weight-jumps under the same time-restrictions as Eddie did.
      'It was only one kilo more' ... world records are broken by very small margins all the time, whether it's one kilo heavier or one second faster or one inch further. Eddie himself broke the axle-press world-record by a single kilogram, so he knows from personal experience that this is a silly argument.
      ... it's worth bearing in mind that Eddie's basically built an entire career off the back of the 500kg deadlift, his reputation depends on him saying Thor's lift "doesn't count".

      @boxingvanilla5960 It... wasn't a private event though... so how would that help literally anything..? Broadcasted live, completely planned, everything set in stone as to who, what, where, when, how, all of it. Swimming and Track tend not to have records broken outside of competitions because they don't get paid for that. An athlete will do their best during competition and break the records during competition so that they can get paid and also get their bonuses for breaking the records. If you break the record in practice and submit that for your world record, you're not getting any extra money for it and even costing yourself money if you can't beat that again in the actual competition. Most also don't have all the recordings for outside of competitions. This guy, however, had officials from competitions, had his scales tested by referees, had his weights measured on those scales, and followed the rules of the competition lifts to qualify for the record break. It was no different from being in a competition other than the fact that it's only you competing. It wasn't at that competition specifically, but it used that competitions rules and referees much like how an Olympic Trial isn't the Olympics, but Florence holds the Olympic record for her 100m run during a trial run and not her Olympic run that would've also been a world record and Olympic record break if the previous did not count.

    It's not correct to say he was the first to move that amount of weight from the ground and all the way up. Yes, it's the first time it's done in what we call a regular deadlift, but the 18" deadlift broke this barrier in 1983. over 40 years ago. And that is also moving weights from the ground and all the way up. If anyone wants to become technical about this, the bar on regular deadlift is also above the ground. It's the wording that is wrong, as it might give people the impression that this was the first time anyone ever lifted this amount of weight, which is false.
