When it comes to Strongmen, Eddie Hall just has to be one of the most famous in Britain.
The bloke’s a legend and has delivered us with all sorts of memorable moments from knocking out two brothers in one round during his MMA debut to that time he leg pressed 1,000kg.
But the former UK’s Strongest Man doesn’t half put himself through it, that’s for sure. Like during a previous competition, when footage captured the horrifying moment Hall passed out during a brutal Strongman challenge that most people wouldn’t dare to even attempt.
The now 36-year-old was participating in the Conan’s Wheel event, titled after the famed character of ‘muscle and might’ – Conan the Barbarian.
Conan’s Wheel is tipped by Strongman as a ‘test of unrivalled endurance and strength’ that demands ‘not just muscle power but mental stamina’.
Basically, it’s a yards-long bar, fitted onto a pivot and at the end of ‘Conan’s Bar’ are typically weights that the athlete must then lift and carry around.
The dreaded challenge is now a vital component in premier strength competitions around the world but certainly isn’t for the faint hearted.
And when Hall was competing to become Britain’s Strongest Man in 2014, the video shows just what it put him through.
The commentator can be heard saying: “This is mind over matter and his mind says the pain does not matter,” as The Beast carries the bar.
As he completes full circles of the wheel, it’s noted that Hall is going slower than his competitor as they explain that with ‘his body shape, you wouldn’t expect him to do particularly well here’.
He appears to be starting to struggle as his arms start to ‘sink down to his waist’ and he’s ‘barely able to move’.
As he gets slower, Hall then drops the bar, falling to his knees and onto his back as he appears to pass out after doing 720 degrees of ‘Conan’s Circle’.

Crew then rush over to the Strongman as he soon comes round and gets back to his feet ‘covered in paint and covered in glory’.
You certainly can’t knock Hall’s determination, it still worked out for him, as he ended up winning his first Britain’s Strongest Man title that year.
That started off an impressive run for him, as he won his fifth straight Britain’s Strongest Man competition in 2018 before retiring from the competitions shortly after. What a legend.
Mаn сарturеs glоwing figurе shining thrоugh сlоuds
There are many people who believe it to be a sign.
There are certain happenings and interactions in life that, regardless of one’s religious beliefs or lack thereof, leave us with the impression that they are a part of something more significant.
In order to have confidence in God, one must refrain from casting doubt on the events that take place or the trials and tribulations that may arise along the journey.
Alfredo Lo Brutto, who is from Italy, recently uploaded a photograph on social media that he had taken of a figure in the sky that looked strikingly similar to the statue of Christ the Redeemer that is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This amazing statue stands at a height of 30 meters and is not only one of the largest statues depicting Jesus but also the highest art deco statue that exists anywhere in the globe.
When Alfredo shаrеd the breathtaking photograph that he had shot over the Tyrrhenian sea, it managed to stir up some sort of controversy. There are those who believe the figure to be divine and a sign from God, while others maintain that it is simply the clouds with the sun shining through them.
That is not the first time that individuals have had differing perspectives of images that have emerged online, and this time, there is a good amount of people on both sides of the argument.
“The scenery completely captivated me. Alfredo told Daily Mail, “I don’t often shаrе images on social media, but when I took this one, I instantly felt likе I wanted other people to see it because it was so beautiful.” “I don’t shаrе pictures on social media very often since I don’t shаrе many pictures.”
Even if you don’t think you can make out a picture of Jesus in this picture, we can all agree that this picture is remarkable because it captures the splendor of the natural world that we live in.
Where do you stand? What do you see before you? Do you think that this sign could be connected to higher powers?
