Is this on TV at all?

There's an online place where you sign up and pay $20 or something to watch live.

Eddie Hall has lifted well above 500kg in training I believe.
He hasn't done it in competition because he gets £10,000 every time he breaks the world record.The more attempts he makes the more money he makes

There's a free stream on Twitter. Benni, Jerry & Eddie done 465 (NWR). Eddies pulling now if your quick

[Stu-nph26]

Eddie and Pritchard have a chance Bennie struggled with 465 IMO

[Stu-nph26]

Eddie just done it easy

That's kind of his thing locks it out then holds the weight to shout and scream a bit.

Then collapse. Looked like he might pop first though.

He made that look relatively easy.

There's more in the bag, by the looks of it. Especially if, as folk are saying, he has lifted over 500 in training.

This feat deserves FAR more recognition than it deserves.

My question is, will we ever see a completely raw 500kg lift from someone?

[ikarl]

Raw? I doubt it, you can't train the skin to stay on your hands unfortunately

[Thankyou4calling]

It can't be an officially sanctioned lift can it?

He was using wrist straps, are they allowed?
