Eddie Hall, former World’s Strongest Man made it to the news but for a bizarre reason this time. The British Strongman passed out while leg pressing 1,000 kilos which was the heaviest weight he would have gone up to. He did not attempt lifting that weight straight away, instead, built up to it and slowly reached 1000 kgs. But while doing it his head tilted and he passed out. Take a look at the video here.
Eddie has been into weightlifting for quite some time and this isn’t the first time he has attempted such a thing. The 33-year-old was also well known for his YouTube channel, where he showed off his ridiculous training sessions, that no normal person would be able to live with. Back in 2006, Eddie collapsed after deadlifting 500kgs at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.”That nearly killed me. The pressure on my body was surreal. I passed out after. I had nose bleeds. It’s not healthy doing something like that,” he had said at the time.
While it is amusing to watch a professional attempt leg press, it is best not to do it yourself at home. Always make sure to have professional trainers around while lifting heavyweights.
