Whether training for arm wrestling, boxing, or stepping inside the MMA cage, the big Brit makes his gains in a world-class home gym. And, in a recent YouTube appearance, Hall not only gave viewers a guided tour of his pad for pumping iron, but he also shared the particular reps that led to his 2016 deadlifting world record.<\/p>\n<p>If there were to be a new show titled <em>Lifestyles of the Fit and Famous<\/em>, fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/news\/world-s-strongest-man-brian-shaw-sets-rowing-record-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World\u2019s Strongest Man, Brian Shaw<\/a>, who won the WSM title four-times, would make for an ideal host. Recently, he invited Eddie Hall to show him around his house of pain, and he didn\u2019t disappoint. Speaking on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@SHAWSTRENGTH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shaw Strength YouTube channel<\/a>, Hall explained that he owns a four-story house, and his gym and recovery center takes up the basement space.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Inside Eddie Hall\u2019s Home Gym?<\/h2>\n<p>As the two strongmen sauntered past his driveway, complete with his own tank (well, why not?), the hench homeowner expanded on his facilities, including a hyperbaric chamber. \u201cI train in the morning, and then between the morning and the evening session I\u2019ll go in (the chamber) for an hour, and it feels like your body has slept for 12-hours,\u201d he shared. Of course, the largest amount of floor space is taken up by weights and machines, and Hall explained that his collection is based on equipment that he knows will work for him, thanks to knowledge earned during his days of training for strongman competitions. \u201cFor me, it does what it says on the tin,\u201d he said. Still, Hall has put his own stamp on his gear, too. For example, in order to load up his machines with more plates, he\u2019s been known to add pin extenders where necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Hall also houses some more novel machines, such as the deltoid lateral raise machine, or what he likes to call the \u201cchicken wing\u201d machine, even going so far as to suggest, in jest, that it becomes more effective if you make the sound of a chicken while repping this one out. \u201cYou should always exhale on the top of the movement,\u201d qualifies the big man.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on to the leg press, Hall said that he\u2019s loaded this machine with weights and then added people sitting on the end to make it even more challenging. \u201cThe most I\u2019ve lifted on this is over a thousand kilos,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"1102lb \/ 500kg Deadlift World Record ft Eddie Hall\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IGaN66dcZEs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Eddie Hall Share\u2019s the Secret to His Record-Breaking Deadlift<\/h2>\n<p>While chatting about the leg press machine, Hall reflected on the difference that it has made to his strongman career. \u201cI believe that leg press was one of the main, secret foundations to my deadlift,\u201d shared the history maker who earned a 500kg (1,102 pounds) deadlift world record in 2016, making him the first man to ever deadlift half a ton. \u201cMe too,\u201d agreed Shaw.<\/p>\n<p>Hall went on to explain why he loves the leg press, confirming that despite a popular misconception, the deadlift is not an upper body focused move. \u201cIf you think about a deadlift, right? You don\u2019t deadlift, in essence. Think about it like this, and this will help a lot of people improve their deadlift: leg press the earth away from you. Think about that when you are deadlifting. That\u2019s what a deadlift is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the episode, Hall also took viewers to his recovery areas, where he has an outside swimming pool. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/swimming-has-helped-eddie-hall-stay-laps-ahead-of-his-competition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cI\u2019m a massive believer in active recovery,\u201d<\/a> shared the hybrid athlete, who won medals in freestyle swimming as a teenager<\/p>\n<p>To watch the full tour, including how Hall trains for other disciplines such as arm wrestling, see below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EDDIE HALL&#039;S $1 MILLION GYM AND RECOVERY CENTER\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H4AFtpHjgX8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/eddie-hall-reveals-the-secret-behind-his-500kg-deadlift-record\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may be a few years since Eddie Hall won the World\u2019s Strongest Man back in 2017, but he\u2019s stayed busy ever since by pushing himself outside of his comfort zone.
