Horrifying moment Eddie Hall passed out doing brutal strongman challenge that most people wouldn't dare to attempt

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.
