That man is a beast! new World Record at 462kg, beltless with straps. Can hardly wait for WSM!

WOW... I thought he was going to explode!  Talk about some tension!

I thought the guy on the mike was going to explode!  Nuts.

Hard to believe that he trains "like a body builder, pyramiding all sets..".  He added 61kg to his deadlift in a year which is impressive (at that high level of performance).

Hall is still relatively young, so expect him to keep making progress (especially if he keeps getting heavier) for some time.

Most WSM competitors train more or less like bodybuilders--i.e. bodypart splits and ramping to a top set. Plus an events day, of course. But some don't even do that unless they're near a comp.
