we're all set for a new world record attempt 465 kilos, it has been lifted before
but not on a calibrated regulation bar, it was by Eddie Hall in front of his old pal Arnie
I just couldn't believe the extraordinary raw
power, I think that he's a monster it's like a whole new dimension
and again and again
every single time I see you, you break a world record, how do you do it, oh! I don't share
records, that record is mine, that's how I did it. I want it, fantastic let's give him a big hand. The world record holder, Fantastic
it's the real deal, I mean there's no trickery, there's no technical, anything like that it is
all pure strength and I think this is why as you could see the day, the
real big standing ovation was for the strongman,
every time the people see these guys, moving this huge amount of weight, they go crazy
Eddie "The Beast" Hall
well Arnie not in the audience today, but the world record is still in Eddie's sights
let's join our commentators Danny and Colin. Thanks James so here he comes, Eddie Hall
he's lifted 465 Kg before but can he do it? with a calibrated power lifting bar
almost no flex in this bar, well actually there is when it gets to this weight
an elephant bar they used at the Arnold's, then a great deal of course made the actual
point where you took the whole weight a little bit higher, made it a little easier Eddie just
asking for quiet now this, 2 Kg above his own world record
once the 10.000 behind him
all eyes on Eddie Hall
it's his wife Alexandra, getting her own footage unofficial
and the crowd really getting behind him now, Britain expects great things Eddie Hall
28 years old, 30 stone, he's forced fed himself for a year to get this
come on Eddie, look at the speed of that! That was an unbelievable lift for the world record
and i'll tell you what, I think it's crazy to say I think he's got more to give
and he certainly sets. A challenge, someone's made it across left out of the seat when that happens
the remarkable thing about this, not a single moment where he stopped
or paused or hitched and you have to think, could the historic 500 Kg be in sight
Eddie
you look pretty
you are beatiful baby
after all, a little bit of blood
another world record
this isn't, this isn't in your mind, is it this is a stepping stone,
this is honestly God, this is still a warm-up, this is
I believe it, I believe I really do you mate, go right, go relax
so 2 more men to go, that's a world record 465 kg you've gotta wonder will that intimidate
or inspire, Pritchett and Magnusson, having to walk out there, knowing they've got to do their best so
here the Arizonan, Jerry Pritchett, I don't think he's intimidated by anything Pritchett
clearly never shows any emotion, for this to equal the greatest lift ever
and he makes it look easy, game on! makes it look so easy, I mean it's a case he is making
it look easier than even Eddie Hall did just moments ago, different type of lifter of course
he seems happy or angry, i'm not sure which
and that's the moment that mean a lot to the americans in the crowd
Jerry Pritchett, it doesn't take much from the audience
beaming down, the electricity you put out of that effort, I don't know if there's another
10.000 people but, what I saw, was a pretty easy lift rock solid, how do you feel?, that's a world
record, I felt easy, there's 10.000 people helped me pull it, the motivation was awesome
as if the pressure wasn't high enough for Magnusson, it's doubled! Magnusson getting his ears massaged
there, he says it helps him find focus, exactly the same, it's all about the psychological warm-up
for Benny, isn't it?, there's none of these guys who he can pull nowhere near this in
training, he's just got something he can flick in competition, I think he flicked it there, here he comes
look at the focus, what's going through his head
I don't know, but there's a lot of adrenaline pumping through his body right now
people talk about how you can do extraordinary things in exceptional circumstances and he's
he's gone into berserker mode here, to equal the world record again 465kg to equal it
he's done it! Magnusson equals the world record, that's 3 world records in what!...10 minutes,
something like that, 3 men 465kg all over a 1000 pounds, where do we go now?
you know what though, watch at the end here, he's
a slow pull up, but I think this smile says it all. He's in the game but, just.....
incredible effort from the dark horse of this competition Pritchett, but Halls lift surely the
most impressive, he said it was just a warm-up but for what? let's hear from the organisers
the rules were, we were going to go to 500 kilograms if we felt
that one of them could make it, then all of them have to go to the 500 Kg
but. They all did 465 Kg so, I think 500 Kg has to go, as our senior statesman do you agree?
uhhhhhhhh!, I want a makable weight in between, yeah! Jerry Pritchett looked strong enough to do 500kg
Eddie and Beni, they're going to struggle. they got a good chance at it, let's go for the 500kg!
so, you think Jerry Pritchett is going to win this?
he's from America, he trains hard, he's here for his family, any one of these three guys can do it!
I've been coaching him and loving on him for a lot of years
he's got powerlifting power and this is the deadlift, have you heard a pantomime Kaz?
Boooooooooooo!!!!!
do we want the Beast? yeah! so do I! all right, let's go to 500 kilos
