Before him, many other contenders tried their hands on this machine, but when Hall came up, everyone in the arena turned their attention to him.
Hall took four attempts. In his first one, the Strongman clocked 962 on the machine. In his second attempt, he crossed the previous number to touch 980. Hall touched 994 in his third attempt. Astonishingly, in his last one, he hit the bag so hard that the machine shut down.
