ICYMI: Eddie Hall Deadlifts 1020lbs, Sets New World Record
There's just too much happening on social media these days. Luckily for you, we don't have anything else to do all day. Here are the biggest lifts (and other stuff too!) you missed recently.



Eddie Hall set a new World Record deadlift at the World Deadlift Championships which took place during Europe's Strongest Man. We've got a couple views of the action, inlcuding this instagram video taken from 4 blocks away and the YouTube video embedded above.

My favorite thing about the video isn't the deadlift or even the giant crowd of people losing their shit over a huge deadlift. It's this dude and the fact that I can't understand if he's saying "The Best", "The Beast", or "The Baste".





Speaking of the World Deadlift Championships, Hafthor Bjornsson also competed. I guess the Mountain That Rides is also The Mountain That Pulls because here he is with a 990 deadlift. It starts off so smooth, then he really ups the drama by asking you to watch him whip, watch him nae nae.



And still speaking of deadlifts, Dan Green weighs a lot less than all these giant strongmen and can still pull a proverbial f-ton of weight. For example, 817lbs for 3 off 4" blocks. I would say something about his eyes bugging out, but I've never even touched 817lbs much less held it in my hands as the Earth's gravitational pull tried to tear imy arms off my body, so I'll just stay silent on the matter.
