I thought UK at least psrtially used metric? Maybe they would use stone here though...

Eddie is British

u/Helpful-nothelpful 25d ago

But we'll never really know the real weight.

u/SpaceXmars 25d ago

Let's say 500-575lb

u/orthopod 25d ago edited 25d ago

Those girls are all fairly short- around 5' with 2 of them being under that. I'd guess ~100-110 each. + 45 for the bar, so roughly 460, which is still nuts.

192

u/johnsvoice 25d ago

Not to mention its UNSTABLE weight on an incline. Absolutely ludicrous.

u/Radiant-Map8179 25d ago

I'm glad someone mentioned this.

His posture/form is spot on... that's true strength right there.

It's mad to think back to when Eddie first started out... I remember thinking "who's this cocky meathead".... turns out he meant f'kin business lol!!

23

u/SpaceXmars 25d ago

That's the absolute lowest end, these girls all seem fit, so they should have a good amount of muscle mass. I would easily say most of those chicks are 135 at least, if not up to 150

So 45 + ~115 + ~125 + ~145 + ~145 = ±575

12

u/phazedoubt 25d ago

I agree. My wife is fit and everyone i(ncluding her doctor until she weighed) thought she weighed about 110 when she really weighed 145.

Noooo. I'm 5'11" and 130 lbs, no way are those girls 135-150

u/Ambystomatigrinum 25d ago

With all due respect (I’ve been exactly your size), your BMI makes you underweight and these women do not look underweight. They’re going to weigh more than you think if you’re using your weight as a the starting point.

3

u/Keibun1 25d ago

Depends on muscle mass. My wife is 5'7 and at 130 she looks like a toothpick. A doctor even called her that. At 5'11 you must be very very thin.

While I'm a guy, I'm 5'7 and very thin, and I weigh 140.

It is very possible they are 130s.

1

u/Ambystomatigrinum 25d ago

Yeah, I’ve been 5’11/130, I had very low muscle mass and body fat and I could only sustain that weight via an eating disorder. It’s likely the reason I lost a little height. It’s not a good comparison point for the women in this video who look fit and healthy.

u/IMA_5-STAR_MAN 25d ago

Far left is at least 5'8, i would guess 5'10

u/orthopod 25d ago

Eddie Hall is 6'2" and she's barely at his shoulder.

Head is roughly 1/8 height, which would be 9" on him. Add the neck to it and she's maybe 5'2

And weight that shifts and swings as you lift it.

Bro's strong

u/JmmyTheHand 25d ago

And it’s not balanced so it causes even move shifts and swings but he controls it like an animal

57

u/bradwrich 25d ago

I didn’t want to be that guy, but stating that it is actually an incline press and much, much harder to do is beneficial to understanding what he is accomplishing.

1

u/NotRadTrad05 25d ago

Pro strongman has more overhead work and practically no flat pushing. I'd assume the former WSM has a better incline than flat press

1

u/You_Got_Meatballed 24d ago

Pretty sure his flat bench record is near 700 pounds. I'm sure incline isn't far off. I could only find him doing 500 for 7 reps, which wouldn't translate to 700, but still insane.

She's actually lost a ton of weight.

17

u/pichael289 25d ago

I saw that. She looks alot better and seems to be inspiring people. When Adele lost a bunch of weight alot of her fans flipped out talking about she betrayed them by getting her health under control, my endocrinologists waiting room is always filled with those types of people. But that doesn't appear to be the case this time.

13

u/jackfreeman 25d ago

Yeah, and with Adele it seemed crazy sudden and she looked like she was in pain. I think that people that shame people for putting in the work to get healthy are irresponsible and seriously effed up.

2

u/pichael289 24d ago

I'm a young (well, not really according to my type) type 1 diabetic, I'm in with younger type 2 diabetics (type 1 is an autoimmune disease, my pancreas failed, type 2 at this age is usually weight) so we get the occasional angry heavyset person that flips out on the doctor for not considering it's anything but their weight. I get it, it's shitty and you have to make huge life changes. But there was one lady who told me I was lucky9 because I had the type that allows me to be skinny, and the doctor just wasn't looking past her weight. I'll never forget that shitty lady. Most people recognize the seriousness of their diagnosis but there are the rare few that just don't accept it and insist the doctor is wrong. The doctor is never wrong, some people's bodies can't handle all the extra weight. it's always me, an older black man, and younger people who actually have a way out of this and while most take it, some don't and they are combative as hell about it.

She literally dances on stage for hours. And that was when she was bigger. She lost a lot of weight. Probably thanks to assholes like you who are even more out of shape than she used to be when she rocked a bigger body.

This is a lot harder than just the weight. They’re all shifty and moving a little. Much harder due to that. Just benching a pair of them was way more difficult than twice the weight in plates.

Probably under 500lbs. Not sure how much that bar weighs, it might be under the 45lb normal bar. But each girl is probably 100-115lbs because they all look pretty thin. But still pretty impressive

2

u/therealhairykrishna 25d ago

Eddie used to hold bench press records. He incline bench pressed 580. Normal was like 660.

2

u/Hookmsnbeiishh 25d ago

No he didn’t. Bench press is probably his weakest speciality. He’s the second strongest to have ever lived (Bjornsson is top) in all around body strength.

He had dead lift records.

His bench press personal record is 617lb unequipped but with elbow wraps. Which hasn’t been a record lift since the 1960s.

The current world record is 783lb and they have outlawed elbow wraps in the unequipped category. The record has been above 700lbs since 1993.

So he is arguably 200lbs off bench press world record.

Also, the equipped world record is 1,401lbs. Eddie’s PB is 680lb.

He’s just doing this for giggles and views. His deadlifts and full body lifts are NFL. His bench presses are just average among pros.
