Strongman giant, Eddie Hall is gearing up for his bodybuilding next year’s debut, as he flaunts his ripped physique alongside powerlifting icon, Larry Wheels. The latter seized the opportunity to share a fascinating picture on Instagram that featured the two athletes posing adjacent to each other. The point of intrigue was Hall’s sudden transformation from a hefty giant frame to a comparatively smaller size.

Similarly, the fans’ speculations ranged on the same topic; most were left stunned over the strongman’s conspicuous abs. Besides that, Wheels’ shredded form was complemented with a gripping caption referring to the recent grand boxing match-up between the strongmen, Hafthor Bjornsson, and Hall; which also encouraged a number of related insights from the community.

Eddie Hall set to hit the bodybuilding stage

The 35-year-old athlete’s triumphs in the strongman industry, particularly his 2015 World’s Strongest Man title, have subjected him to immense fame. However, he is evidently looking for more within the sports community as he shapes up as a bodybuilder before his debut in the domain. Interestingly, Hall and Bjornsson had a recent riveting boxing battle, owing to their long rivalry. 

Unfortunately, Hall lost after giving an impressive competition to the 34-year-old Icelandic athlete. Moreover, the English icon had also challenged Wheels, who was training Bjornsson for the match, for $10,000 on who wins, prior to the match. Therefore, “Eddie has settled the 10k debt,” he wrote in his caption insinuating his loss.
