He further went on to add, “I’m gonna retire you. You’re not ready.” But for that, Hall need to qualify for the event and so he inquired with the bodybuilding champion about the weight limit for Classic. They even calculated the number of pounds the English Strongman had to reduce to make his bodybuilding dream a reality.
