EDDIE HALL 500KG DEADLIFT | STRONGMEN REACT! 

Which legendary moment should we get the guys to react to next? 👇

The 500kg deadlift by Eddie was the greatest moment in Strongman history.

If I’m not mistaken, on that day, nobody pulled more than 465kg. And it was a tough lift. Then Eddie comes in and speed reps it, breaks his own record, then goes above and beyond and pulls 500kg with even more in the tank. That was absolutely insane. One of the greatest if not the greatest strongman to ever live!

“That’s how world records should be done… You pull it off, and then you die.” -Evan Singleton

Rumour has it… he was actually hydrated that day.

Favorite lift of all time! For multiple reasons. First, because he didn't break the record by a kilo or 2 like him and Benny had been doing back and forth for a couple years. He set a milestone goal no one thought was possible. Secondly, because he did it the first time he tried it! Yes, Thor pulled it easier, and I'm almost positive he could have done more, but that wasn't the first time he tried, and he add multiple years of training. Yes, Thor's lift was stronger, but to me, Eddie's was better.

That was great. I'd like to see more "strongman react" videos, please.

Just because the lift has been surpassed doesn’t detract from it. Fantastic milestone in strength. Thanks for posting.

I wish someone had recorded the other strongmen's reactions to his 420kg warmup.

You have to realize that Eddie Hall beat the old record with 35 kg. That's like running 100m under 9 sec. Now that the mental barrier is gone more people will do it. But Eddie Hall will always be the first guy to do it. It's like the 4 minute mile.

No matter how many times I see it…. Awesome

Seeing Eddie's wife stood there with everyone cheering as she's so concerned for his well being is a prime example of how dangerous that lift could have been. Eddie is a machine.

At the end of the day a WR is a WR. We know Thor break the deadlift for 1KG and his effort were formidable. But you have to understand that Eddie in that day *already broke the WR Deadlift* pulling 465KG off the floor and a few minutes later he pulled the greatest lift in human history being already fatigue. Pulling +35KG on top of a WR you already broke the same night has never happened in ALL strength sports. This is the reason I believe most people credit Eddie Hall to still be the record holder and Deadlift King. Not even mentioning his physical disadvantage between Top 10 Strongmen stats he competed with. A true BEAST

This was what made me start following strongman. Definitely the greatest moment ever. It wasn't just the record, or even that he smashed it by such a large number. It's that he did what everyone thought was impossible. This was such a triumph of the human spirit.

this is the best deadlift of all time. Literally get the chills every time I watch it

Roger Bannister broke the 4min/mile record. Nobody mentions the 2nd man to run under 4 minutes for the mile. Who was the 3rd man the moon? World records come and go. It's all about milestones, and Eddie reached a milestone first. That's forever.

Evan singleton is hilarious

This moment will always be number one. End of.

I get goosebumps everytime i watch this historic lift. Eddie Hall is a Legend.

When I saw it I was legit worried for his life.

This deadlift and Benny's 460 are goated

I get chills every time I see him set up for the lift. The intensity and energy he had to summon in that moment is unfathomable. If you lift, you can appreciate the intensity of that moment.

That was won of the best videos. And I can’t even describe why. I guess the love and respect they have for one another. And the fact everyone is happy he accomplished it. Amazing.

My favourite lift of all time ☺️.

Eddies 500kg in strongman and Andy Boltons 1000lb in a powerlifting meet are the two greatest and iconic feats in strength history. Both by Englishmen 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Love Gav's comment 'looks pretty fucked there' 🤣

That's the greatest lift I've ever watched in my life. Unbelievable Eddie.

What’s really wild is Eddie’s doctor told him to lose weight or he could die and he goes and deadlifts 500 kilos. Madlad

And a wee bit of shrug. . 🔥🔥🔥

I never noticed before how the bar got stuck on his shorts. I wonder if it would have been even smoother had that not happened. What a Beast indeed!

Eddie endet up in the hospital while Hafthor was seen on Twitch playing Counter Strike a mere two hours after his 501.

Iconic Moment

One of if not my fav lift of all time because, When he did it almost everyone thought even getting close to 500kg was near impossible and he did it by jumping up in weight.

Colin Bryce reaction: "here we gohablashebadayeahhh" 😏🤣

this man is the definition of no limit

What makes Eddie's and Thor's so insane is that most people will never pull half of that. 200kg is a pretty strong pull for most people.

Look its another giants live video about eddie hall..wow...

goosebump creator.

Beast is for a reason simply the strongest man ever lived never to be beaten. He is massive when u stand next to him

It's like Travis Pastrana doing the first double backflip. No matter how many people do it after, he'll always be first. He was the one who broke that barrier and no one can ever take that away. Just like Eddie with this lift.

This is one of the craziest lifts I’ve ever seen

The ONLY man to ever lift 500kg in competition... The greatest lift in history bar none

The logo on the poster behind is same like when eddie lifts 500kg

Like they said, groundbreaking lift.

It was the greatest lift of all time💪

Wauw this is totally new to me, imagine if giants live posted this lift every 14th day for years……

He held that and looked at everyone there before dropping it

Best lift ever.

React to Rauno’s masters record And Luke Vs Oleksii at Europe’s, when Luke won and then when Oleksii won

The REAL deadlift World Record

Captain Matthew Webb, Sir Roger Bannister, Sir Edmund Hillary, Eddie Hall.

For me this and lasha snatching 225kg are the two greatest feats of strength of all time

Not only did he smash the previous record, Eddie doesnt have the physical advantages others like Hafthor and Brian have. He is truly a beast, just incredible.

First and only man to ever do it.

im struggling with 150kg, and this man just pull that heavy ahh weight like a beast

Speed is key Yes obviously you need strength, but Eddie followed Andy boltons principles. Speed and not overtraining will build an excellent deadlift

#1 Lift ever

Definitely 1 for the history books Eddie's determination would be worth a fortune if you could bottle it

The amount of shock and fear on his wife’s face after the lift when he collapsed. Must have been a scary moment for her

The bloke that knocked the shit and piss out of Eddy hall also beat his record right

damn terry 2.0 looks good

the goat

*unpopular opinion.. Knees weren’t completely locked out.

Eddie Hall is a real giant beast to ever Walk the face of the earth!!!

It's mad to think that the only reasons Eddie did this was so he could finance his strongman career and win WSM.

This is nice for an AVC.

It must’ve been so difficult just to live at this size.

With how much pressure that was built up inside him, I’m honestly surprised Eddie didn’t just explode

I'm an Eddie fan, always have been. I think Thor in his prime, in competition against prime Eddie "THE BEAST" Hall, in front of TEN THOUSAND strongman fans would not be able to beat Eddie hall for the simple fact that the Beast would do whatever it took to surpass anything Thor could lift. I believe that Thor did indeed lift 501 but Eddie's 500KG in competition in front of all those fans will forever go down in history as THE greatest deadlift EVER. Absolute Legend.

Of course records will always be broken (and it was), but there's no multiverse where anyone makes such a huge leap in deadlifting again.

He holds it for an extended period...

Lucas, have a look at Renaissance Periodisation. He explains the idea of regular breaks and de-load weeks to reduce the fatigue you’ve had a few times. I’m mass-gaining too at the moment. Clean food is defo hard work…! For reference, I’ve put on 4.2lbs (just under 2kg) a month with a bodyfat percentage maintaining 14-14.5%

Me as a mechanics struggle to lift and hold up a 35kg gearbox to secure it with a screw...

Everyone remembers the 1st man to run the 4 minute mile....absolutely no-one(without googling it) can name the second.

I'm sure this will be a civil comment section...

Thor after unofficially lifted 501kg but it wasn’t in competition!

Eddie did this at the end of a 3 day competition when he was knackered and dehydrated! Thor "cheated" by being in his personal gym and only pulled 1 lift. The Beast forever!

Eddies lift> Thors lift at his home gym

Considering how easily he lifted 500kg off the floor makes me think he could have done more Eddie definitely has the Hercules gene.

What gets me is that 3 years after Thor (easily) lifted 501kg (apparently)he hasn't attempted anything heavier. Perhaps it's because we're not in lock down now and he has no excuse for having to do it in his own gym. A fact which always gets him angry when questioned about it.

Incredible lift, big respect to Eddie Hall. The aftermath shows just how superhuman Thor actually was in his prime, beating the 500KG WR easily and walking away like it is nothing. Truly incredible moments, this is why I love strongman!

They gotta fit Kearney into everything lol I wonder why😂

Madness… 😮 half a tonne 😳😳😳😳

I think a lot people miss the point of all of this when we get into the Thor vs. Eddie argument for deadlift supremacy. By doing the 500, Eddie brought the standard up by unbelievable margins and proved SO many people wrong. The previous record was more than 30 kg below that and there were so many people (even people close to Eddie) who were talking sh*t about Eddie’s chances in the months leading up to the lift. He also did it in front of an entire arena of people whereas Thor did it in his home gym surrounded mainly by his friends and family. I don’t care what you say, that has very big psychological impact on the lifter (anyone who has performed I front of a crowd can attest to this). When Thor lifted the 501, he proved that he was a better deadlifter in terms of overall strength and capability. You can definitely argue that both of them were capable of more on the day of their lifts but Thor looked a lot smoother and even had a slight disadvantage being half a foot taller than Eddie and had to pull the bar much farther. But at that point, expectations about pulling 500+ kg were a lot more optimistic than they were when Eddie did the 500. Eddie had already raised the bar and proved it was possible to pull 500 kg. No one was doubting Thor in same way they were doubting Eddie. I think with how good Thor was looking at his peak, almost everyone was pretty certain that he could do it. Therefore in my opinion, Thor was definitely a stronger deadlifter and arguably a better strongman overall when they were both at their peaks, but Eddie’s lift is still by far the more impressive one. His had more significance and was far more impactful than Thor’s. Credit to both of these guys for what they accomplished during their lifetimes and glad they have at least agreed to disagree when it comes to their past beef.

I guess the lesson here is that, if you don’t pass out and nearly die, you ain’t tryin hard enough.

I was in the crowd that day, first time the Europe's had moved from headingley stadium the year before and the atmosphere for a strongman event was crazy! I still thought Eddie had written a cheque he couldn't cash then it went up and the crowd went absolutely mental. Took two non-strongman fans and they probably still have no idea they witnessed something so monumental.

He could have done 510kg that day, and shut down deadlifts for probably 10 years ...

A Real Life SuperHuman This is the first time you get to witness a god

It’s 250 on each 5 fingers what a animal

I can't imagine the back strength needed, besides legs and hips. If I added another 35 kg to my maximum, then managed it with mind tricks, I'm sure bones would be broken.

Oldberg actually looks like Goldberg :D

I do really miss the old big eddie

How much weight eddie hall on the lift

Eddie is the GOAT, makes you wonder how much more he could have lifted someone should have added 10kg and not told him haha.

Impressive now let's their reaction to Hafthor

Eddie made history, he weighed 400lbs here.

By far the greatest lift ever. Yea, Thor "beat" it, whatever. That doesn't mean anything. But also don't forget Eddie nearly died from this. He pushed himself close to his absolute limits for this lift. I think he could have done more, but it probably wouldn't have ended well for him. He's still the Beast, and the best! And just think, 6 years later and The World Deadlift championship only got 476kg! Nobody came close to this.

It’s going to be a few years until someone breaks his record. That was such a phenomenal day.

O que é que os caras cheiram antes de levantar?

1/2 Ton
