Cheers for that ...I had forgot...and I have been following all the drama surrounding it..... Although I don't share eddies thoughts on thor cheating with regard to the weights on being acurate. ...I do think it should be done in a contest... I also think if anybody can do it thoroughly can Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently he is going to go for broke and go for 520 if he gets the record. Do you....I don't think he's got it easy.. ..and I recon 520 is a long way to go... Watched Julias maďdox get that 770 lbs raw bench press a couple month back. By Christ he can press some weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

low plains drifter 9,466 Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Here's one for while the gyms are shut, full body workout as Well take two buckets put a foot in each one then lift yourself off the ground, alternate sets between underhand / overhand grip etc, Takes some time to get right so be patient, and stick at it once mastered bring in the metal buckets, hang weights off your belt, then sandbags in a bergan, zip on side pouches, dumbbell between your teeth etc Eddie Hall wont get a look in post lockdown 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MH1 1,805 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Does anyone use/used odd objects for lifting - sandbags, kegs, tyres things like that? Thinking of getting a few bits for the garden, can't see gyms opening any time soon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
