On May 10, 2023, Crascall uploaded a video on his Instagram tagging Hall, under the caption, “We Absolutely Nailed This!!” Seemingly, in that video, two Malian men were seen doing three hard exercises.

In the next workout, those guys nailed an advanced seated crunch with dumbbells which the friends wanted to copy but failed to do so. This was followed by the last workout, which was a forearm to full plank. Here Hall and Crascall ended up doing something similar to push-ups and it seemed nothing like a plank. This was indeed a very tough challenge and even though they failed, Hall felt he did a good job. As he took to the comment section of the post and wrote, I nailed it. @arron_crascall was having a seizure I think.”

A couple of months ago, Hall showed off his athletic prowess while taking up a rock-climbing challenge with Magnus Midtbo. The Norwegian rock climber-turned-YouTuber collaborated this time with Hall to create this engaging content. The Beast teased his fans by posting this update, “Today is something interesting. It’s world’s strongest man tries climbing.’”

However, while the climb already was intriguing, they decided to spice it up utilizing only the single-colored rocks to climb. The then 370 lbs giant managed to climb a bit and create good, entertaining, and engaging content.
