In the realm of strength sports, competitors continuously test their boundaries and seek new trials. Eddie Hall, famous for his outstanding Strongman career, has consistently demonstrated his unwavering dedication to embracing these challenges. Now, Hall has set his sights on a new ambitious goal—pursuing a bodybuilding career. Consequently, this surprising news has grabbed the interest of both Strongman enthusiasts and the bodybuilding community.

The Beast, known as the Strongman, recently shared his fitness journey and ambitions on social media. He posted an update on Instagram, revealing his current physique and a video of himself posing with the help of his posing coach. In the caption, the 35-year-old athlete mentioned that he will begin his cutting phase in 8 weeks, weighing 385 pounds. The post received considerable attention, including compliments from fellow Strongman athlete Terry Hollands.

Although numerous individuals in the fitness realm are skeptical about Hall’s endeavor, the 2x World’s Strongest Man (WSM) bronze medalist expressed his admiration for the British athlete’s progress. Commenting on the post, he wrote, “If you dedicate yourself to this anything close to what you did with Strongman, it will be a great journey to watch! I doubted you could do the 500kg deadlift till a couple of weeks before you did it. I wouldn’t doubt you again! Mindset is everything, and you have that in abundance.”

While the 2017 strongman champ’s progress was met with overwhelming support, a concerned netizen raised a question regarding his waistline. Addressing this concern, Hollands candidly replied, “Yeah, me too! I’ve worked hard to bring it down; it’s never gonna be pretty, but it does come down! I still have a 40-inch waist on stage.” These words from Hollands, who himself underwent a similar physical transformation, hold significant weight.
