The Beast Unleashed - How Eddie Hall Risked Death to Conquer the World

0:00It's life on the line. It's either win the world's strongest man or life is not worth living.

0:04Eddie Hall:He's done it. He's got the down signal. World's strongest man. I am on the fucking brick. Didn't far off nearly kill you. It was just a massive immigration, taxes, schooling, digital ID bullshit. Don't hold it back. I'm not going to hold it back. He is a specky eyed fucking punk. You have anger. I've got that much pent up energy. If I'm not expelling it, I'll snap at anyone. Since that incident... Are you friends with Thor? Gotta be careful what I say here, but... How much was it? My contract was for 20 million, and I never got a f***ing penny. Ever had any health scares? Everything was working overtime to keep my body having a heart attack or a stroke.

0:40Who is the strongest person you've ever seen? Pound for pound, strongest man there's ever been. How much did it piss you off when Thor beat your deadlift world record? Like, be honest. Honestly, it really didn't. but weren't you bitching about it a bit online i mean i wasn't bitching about it i was just making a point of it wasn't done in a competition right you know it wasn't done under official rules and this is a big part i even said on his channel that that's why he came back and did it officially right so it's is is it i mean i obviously don't know the sport as well as you but for all of us who don't is it kind of quite illegitimate if it's not done under proper rules then yeah 100 It's like me, you know, getting these weights in my basement, pulling 502 kilo here and getting a referee to down call it.

1:29Like you don't know if those weights are fake. Or is this right weight? Or is this platform not bouncy? Or, you know, there's so many aspects that can call bullshit. And that's why we do them in competition. Because it just eliminates any question mark. And that's it. You know, in my honest opinion, he probably did pull 501 legit than me. Yeah. But that's the point of doing a competition. There is no buts. Yeah. You know, it's not, it's, he did it. Yeah. And that's why he's come back and done it in an official competition. Even he said on his own channel, I'm doing it to shut all the people up that say that one doesn't count.

2:06So even he himself admitted. He understood that. He understood. Yeah. And are you tempted to go back and do 511? Not at all. No? Not at all. And as I say, I've had my day. Yeah. And I drew my line in the sand back in 2016. You know, I set the 500 kilo deadlift in 2016. And that was my draw line in the sand. Like I beat the world record by 37 kilos in one day. 37, not one, 37. Wow. And for me, that was enough, you know? If anyone's naive enough to think I couldn't have pulled more, you're bullshitting yourself. You know, you know I could have pulled more. A year later at World's Strongest Man, 2017, I was a much stronger human being, much stronger.

2:53And I got loads of people out, let's push the boundaries more. Let's do 501, 502. And I was like, what's the f***ing point? No one's going to care if I come back and do 501, 502, 510. No one's going to give a f***. It was that boundary. It was that magical 500-kilo boundary that I wanted to break, and I broke it. And that's, honestly, I'm so happy and content to have done that. And I honestly believe the world record, if it wasn't for me, the world record would still be 470 kilo. Like the four-minute mile thing. Yeah. I honestly think if it wasn't for me, we'd still be pulling 475, 476, 477. It's because I came along, did 500, and now everyone's all of a sudden, all right, it's possible.

3:38I can do that. So I push those boundaries. So in some little way, and people think I'm a right smug come for saying this. In some little way, I am responsible for this world record getting pushed higher and higher and higher. And I commend for doing it. I've genuinely thought, well done. Like, I can say that. I don't know. No bullshit. Like, well done for. Well deserved. I know what it takes to pull that. I mean, it didn't far off nearly kill you, didn't it? Yeah. And that was because I just pushed the boundaries so much for my size. you know i'm six foot two at the time i was 100 186 kilo just just bang on 400 pounds at the time like i'm not designed to lift 500 kilo off the floor i'm not meant to be able to lift 500 kilo the floor i haven't got this height the levers the muscle mass i didn't have that it was the belief in here that made me pull that four on the other hand six foot ten you know he's a fucking natural giant yeah he should be doing that kind of weight he should be pushing the boundaries more and more and more he's got so much so much more of a bigger skeleton that he can hold so much more muscle mass than me you should be able to lift more than me so fair play you know it's it's it's it's the it's the hand of cards dealt to you by god that what you're capable of.

5:01And I was capable of 500, maybe a little bit more. Thor is capable of more. He's capable of more than 510, probably 530, probably more, maybe 540. I don't know. But he is genuinely that bigger human being. He should be lifting that kind of weight. Yeah. And did you ever have any doubt the whole lead-up process? Because obviously the world watched you. Did you ever have any doubt? Of course, nothing but doubt. Oh, really? Yeah, nothing but doubt. I mean, that's all I had. All I had was doubt. You know, you've got to remember the world record at the time was 463 kilos. And you can go back and look on all the internet forums.

5:43I remember seeing it on an internet forum. Are we going to see a 500 kilo deadlift in our lifetime? And every single comment said no. Every single one. And I'm talking thousands of comments. I went back and looked. Thousands. No, it's not going to happen. So in the lead up for that, everyone saying I was deluded, I was a dickhead, I was an idiot. So I had every single bit of negativity was against me for that deadlift. So all the doubt crept in. Yeah, of course. It was a tough lift more for that moment. And to be honest, when I released the deadlift bar and I collapsed, I did go unconscious. but afterwards it was more the the sheer relief of all that pressure you know all that disbelief all that negativity it was just a massive like that was that was a full year of pent-up aggression negativity hatred and it all just got released in that in that one one like split second so it was it was a very surreal sort of moment it was like every my whole life built up to that moment you You know, and a bit like Roger Bannister, Roger Bannister did the four minute mile, collapsed and nearly died.

6:57Go back and watch it. He literally nearly died. And now there's people running it like it's nothing. But it's that boundary, isn't it? If you've got that boundary to bust through, then you've got so much more mental pressure. And I think that makes it so much more harder, but also so much more relieving afterwards. Have you ever had any health scares? the only fuck what was it now so the only health scale I had really was five weeks before I won the world's strongest man as I went to a doctor and had a full blood works and everything was on the fucking brink like kidney markers were like off the charts, liver markers were off the charts, the biggest concern was my hemoglobin like the thickness and sludge of the blood the consistency to hear your blood and he just put me into a like he drew on i remember he tried drawing it on a piece of paper for me and be like right so you've got the fat bastard scale and you've got someone at like say if that's like a chart here right so you've got someone like 100 kilo you know a big human being you know that's going to be like getting on the top end of that scale is like you know heart attack risk stroke risk and then you've got someone like 22 24 stone like 130 140 kilo they're like way off the chart you know they're like that you're in danger zone here you know what i mean your hemoglobin's are thick your liver and kidneys are on the brink i was 200 kilo so when you put me when he wrote it down and put me into a chart you've got high risk super high risk and then i was like eddie hall risk i was up here like fucking off the charts and he said like that's like that's like heart attack and a stroke risk very high extremely high definitely gonna have a heart attack and a stroke and it was like wow and that's when it sort of hit me as like i am on the fucking brink wow everything was working overtime to keep my body from having a heart attack of a stroke right so that's why i won my title and retired just get that body weight down instantly just get those markers down and just get myself out of that danger zone territory did that scare you of course yeah yeah i mean when a doctor's looking at you and he's saying if i lined 80 million people up or 70 million people up at the time the whole population of the uk if you lined everybody up in a row like who's most likely to have a heart attack on the stroke he said you'd be at the top of that list i'm like yeah that's it just made sense when he laid it out like that put it in the chart and talked about the p you know you're the most likely and i remember there was like and we all get it you know you're sort of driving to the gym and you felt like a little palpitation in your chest you're like oh this is it you know you'd have these scares but for me those were real concerns yeah you know you get those little those little ache or something in the chest you're like oh this is it oh god no and then you recover but it's fine i'll carry on yeah but those were real concerns for me and i'll never forget that the last five weeks of training for the world's strongest man and i was like it was almost like a suicide mission it was almost like i just didn't fucking care because i wanted to win that title so badly it was either win the world's strongest man or life is not worth living for so i was honestly going to bed every night and And I sort of had the conversation in my head is like, if you don't wake up tomorrow, are you going to be sorry?

10:31And I'd be like, yeah, okay. You know, I have to win this title. I honestly thought I'd go to bed every night thinking I wasn't going to wake up the next day. That was my sleep routine. Of like talking to myself, of like trying to convince myself that nearly dying or possibly dying is going to be worth it in the long run. And it was. It was. I mean, it was. But it sounds like that's what it took. Yeah. No. No, it's hard. Yeah, it's life on the line shit. Wow. People say you take risks and put your body out there. That's taking the risk. For my height, weighing 200 kilo was fucking surreal. And what's the heaviest you've ever weighed exactly?

11:11Exactly 196 kilo is my heaviest. Right. So that's 32 stone just shy of. At six foot two? Yeah, six foot two. Not at six foot nine or ten? No. No, this is the thing. I was as heavy as Thor and Brian and whoever else. But six, seven inches shorter than them. Eight inches shorter than Thor. So can you set us straight on what really happened when you were caught threatening to rip someone's head off? I was wondering what you're going to ask me then. I mean, geez, man. I mean, look, you've seen my house. You know, it's a very recognisable house. It's the talk of the town. You know, everybody knows where Eddie Hall lives, which is fine.

11:58I mean, it's obvious at the gates, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. I can't fuck it. Unless I lived out in the countryside, which I just can't do to my family, just away from my family, all my families around here. There's no way around it. I'm going to get noticed. And the house is going to get noticed. The vehicles are going to get noticed. The tank. There's just no hiding where I live. There's no hiding it. so attention comes you know and attention comes when i'm out and about when i'm out with my kids you know i'll go to restaurants go to the supermarket it's just a constant i don't want to say a drag because it's not you know i i appreciate it but it's a constant like pull on my life it's a constant pull so i guess when i'm out about and i'm getting all that attention and i'm with my family you know i'm pushing my kids on the swing and somebody's asking me for a picture yeah you know i'm eating a meal with my family and someone's asking me for a picture so i guess when i have all that you want to come back to escape right so this is this is like my castle yeah this is the place i i get away from all that shit i get away from all that hassle all the pictures all the questions all the whatever i get away from it all it's all happened that's where the peace and and the chaos divides right so people coming to my house disrupts that that divide that that peace and chaos and when that divide is disrupted is when i lose my shit yeah i just i cannot can stand it when people think that they own me or own a part of me or deserve to take a bit of my private life and make it theirs that's where that's where it starts and begins and ends right in there yeah so they weren't the first ones to come to my house and ask for pictures and knock on and whatever else and they probably won't be the last but usually when people hang around or knock on you know they usually oh can i have a picture i'm like no look this is my place of peace this is my home and i can't do a picture with you So if I do one with you, you'll put it online, and then everybody knows you can go to my house and do a picture.

14:12So out of principle, I just cannot do a picture. Very sorry. See you on the street. Come meet me in Expo, whatever. And they always understand, and they always walk away. Like, sorry for disturbing you, and they bugger off. These motherfuckers. So they turn up outside my house at 9 o 'clock on a bank holiday Monday. Kids are being put in bed. youngest one of them's in bed one of them's being put to bed and they come back they're honking the horns as they're driving past they come back around and they sit right outside my driveway like blocking the driveway with the cars and then there's one the other side and there's one the other side of the road so it looks like a gang's turned up to my house now i just happened i'm not here very often if i'm being honest so i just happened to be in the garden with my son having a cigar, by a fire pit, just enjoying myself, just, you know, a bit of quality time with my son.

15:10And Alex rings me up. I said, there's someone at the gate, right? You need to go and tell them to fuck off now. And I had, I had no idea what had gone on. And she's, and then she tells me quicker what's happened. So Alex had asked him to go out. She went out. So can you move on, please? They said, no, basically. We just, you know, you can't tell us what to do. She left it five, 10 minutes, went back out again. I can't remember the, like, People start saying, you're making shit up here, but you can go back on the YouTube video I made and see exactly what happened. She went back out, asked him again, maybe a third time.

15:44And then she came to me and said, look, there's some people outside, they won't leave. They keep beeping the horns. And I could hear horns going, but that's quite common. You know, you get people driving past hogging horns. I'm just like, whatever, it doesn't bother me. But she came to me and told me, and I just, when she told me she'd asked him to leave three times over the space of 20 minutes. I just got in my head, like I'm not around with these people. Like it's nine o 'clock at night. My kids are in bed. It's my place of peace. They're going. Like, I don't want to hear what they've got to say.

16:15I don't want to hear they want a picture. I don't want to hear that the fans just cough. Right? So that's exactly what I do. I go out and I say, mate, I don't care what you've got to say. Don't care what you want. This is the first car. Just drive away. Just fucking get away from my house. This is my place of peace. I then go to the second car. He understood the assignment. You could see how angry I was. He just began to drive off. And then the third car was the one parked at Simon Gate. And yeah, I mean, you'll see the interaction. But yeah, I just sort of, you know, just, mate, just fuck off.

16:51I don't fucking care what you want, what you want to say, fuck off. And he said, oh, but yeah, but I just want to pitch it. And I'm like, I don't fucking care. Just get the fuck away from house. I was like, yeah, but my kids, my kids just want a picture. Like, you're upsetting my kids. And I'm like, you know, just in the heat of the moment, just like, mate, I don't give a fuck about your kids. What about my fucking kids that you're waking up, beeping your fucking horn? I said, just fuck off. And as he put it in gear and drove off, and as he was driving off, he lit me dead in the eyes and said, I'm going to knock you the fuck out.

17:24And honestly, you know when you just see red? Like, nothing was stopping me. You could have had a brick wall in front of me. I would have knocked it down to get to this motherfucker. Anyway, luckily he just drove away and I, in chase in my crocs, gave him a little bit of a chase. And I saw what I was filming. We went to grab his phone. Didn't quite get it. I was just going to get his phone and throw it in a bush. Just like your little cunt. And then the next, like within an hour, it was online. Right. so we're talking like half past 10 on a on a bank holiday monday night i was so chill and then my phone my phone just lights up just bing bing bing bing and i'm like fucking jesus and it got online and within i'm gonna say within an hour it had something like 13 million views right the sun had reposted it all the all the shitty fucking crappy news for english newspapers the what do call them the the tabloids yeah they were just grabbed it and just threw it everywhere and of course the title was uh roid rage road rage like and it just made out as though i'd just done this on the street like i just chased these guys and i'd upset these guys kids and i was screaming and shouting and threatened to kill people and so it just painted me as this absolute ogre like this guy that just wants to kill kids and and you know it just it just made me look so bad and i was reading the cat within the hour i had something like six six thousand comments let's say and i didn't see one positive comment not a one i was it was all like what a cunt let's all go to his house what a knobhead disgusting i hope he gets cancelled it was just one after the other and it was just getting worse and worse and worse so i i didn't sleep a wink so i had to like read all this shit i managed to get like an hour's sleep woke up in the morning i was like right my brother hung me up sort of mid-morning and he's in charge of like my companies and everything and he went just so you know ed he said i've seen what's what's going on he said just so you know your um your websites have done zero sales this morning.

19:46Zero. He said, that's never happened before. He said, you're being canceled. And I was like, what? Zero sales? Zero. All my sites did absolutely - I thought you were going to say it blown up. No, no, no. Zero. Like, you know, we're talking a lot of money. Yeah. Absolutely zero. And I employ a lot of people. So obviously that just put the panic through absolutely everybody in the family, in the businesses. and he sort of said like i wasn't going to do anything about it and he was just like ed you've got to do a response so i was like right okay i've got to get the truth out there and then i obviously managed to muster all the cctv cctv get all that together did a voiceover did all whatever sat down in my office did all that shit and i sent it my editor and i was just like is this going to work is this going to get my reputation back yeah and luckily it all changed it just went completely the other way it was like oh my god he had he also justified in this like those guys i was on their side to begin with but now they can go fuck themselves and it just completely reversed it just went it went completely the other way so thankfully that sort of statement on my youtube channel put everybody right i'm sure there were people out there that didn't watch that statement that will have just seen those you know the tabloid headlines and then that's it they just make the decision don't they yeah you know i'll always be that road rage cunt that chase kids down the street so the damage was done like no matter what damage is done but it was to get my fans back on side of like i am not that person i don't go out and scream at people for no reason these motherfuckers are outside my house for 20 minutes honking their horns telling my wife to off and whatever else so yeah there's limits and there's boundaries that if you're pushed things can happen and that was just one of those times but i will say this since that incident i've had one person knock on my house one person and it was an old man asking me to move a radiator in his house so everyone's got the message so everybody so i'm actually As stressful as it was at the time, I am super thankful that it happened because it's made people aware that, you know, somebody's place of peace is their place of peace and you should not disturb it.

22:06So it's actually done me a massive favour. Yeah. I mean, how can anyone in their right mind think they're going to get a photo after all that? I'll just piss the world's strongest man off for 20 minutes even more and I'll get my photo. I honestly, it's beyond me, but you'd be amazed what people do to get their precious picture for Facebook or Instagram, you know. People will do anything. They don't give a **** who they upset or... But isn't it better to, like, have a good engagement with the person? I'd never want a photo. I would say so. I'd want to get on with the person, not have a photo. Yeah, I much more appreciate, like, if I'm out with my family, someone just coming up to me like, hey, Ed, how are you doing, man?

22:46You okay? Great work, like, great content. See you in a bit, mate. I love that. Yeah. But when people come up, can I stop this? They didn't even ask me how I am. No. They ignore my family, which is grud in a way. Yeah.

22:59Eddie Hall:It's like, let's have a quick picture. And I'm like, mate, I'm with my family. Yeah. There was an incident, and this is the main reason I don't do pictures when I'm with my family now. So there was an incident, and this happened quite recently, where I was in a park and I was pushing my kids, both my kids on this swing on the like a big circle swing and i would say at least three people came and asked me for a picture why so i was pushing my kids on the swing and every time i was like no i'm sorry i can't take my eyes off my kids like i'm pushing my kids on the swing and everyone was like oh sorry sorry sorry so they get it right that journey from the park to my car another 10 pictures and i do them you know if i'm not Whatever, I'll do my pictures.

23:48And then I was putting my youngest daughter, she was only eight months at the time, I was putting her into a car seat, right? And it's a very bucket car seat. So I'm strapping her in, and then someone taps me on the shoulder, Eddie, can I have a quick picture? And I turn around. I was going to say, no, I'm busy. I turn around, I was a little boy there. Nan, granddad, mom, dad, brothers, sisters. And they're all like that. I'm like, say, okay, right. Let's do this picture. So I do this picture. Right. Thank you very much. They, they bugger off. As I turned back round, my daughter fell out the car seat, boom, boom, boom, boom, head first on the floor, completely knocked out.

24:30Right. Unconscious. And I picked her up and she was literally, you ever seen someone break the back and they go like, they go like spasm. Oh, wow. and she went into this like she was like a board she just went no no noise from her just went stiff as a board and i was instantly like i was like i broke her back or something so she's unconscious so i chucked her in the in the car drove to the hospital at 100 miles an hour got in there and got that dealt with but it was the fact that this family is so innocent isn't it yeah it's so innocent asking me for a picture when i'm with my face sounds so innocent but that that picture resulted in my daughter going to a &e and it's it's like people just don't think about that kind of shit you know when i'm pushing my kids on this let's say i did that picture with somebody when i'm pushing my kids on the swing i turned back and when i was on the floor with a broken neck it's just people just don't respect those boundaries and that's what that's what fucking boils me a little bit it's like you've got to respect those boundaries when a man's with his family you can leave them alone do you have anger do you sometimes find it hard to control anger i would say anger has been a big part of my life you know my younger years i was very angry you know teenager loved a scrap and and and i i guess i would actively go and find fights because i was just angry you know a lot of shit happened it just made me angry and I think that quite lucky really is I found the gym I found strongman and that's given me an outlet but when I don't have those goals and I don't have those things to chase and things to keep my mind busy I do find myself getting agitated and angry and I don't think it's not it's not like it's not who I am as a person I think it's the it's honestly the ADHD I think it's something that I've got that much pent up energy if I'm not expelling it I almost can stir myself up to a point where I'm so agitated you know I'll snap at anyone for this littlest things so I found over the years that that is I mean that's sort of like self-diagnosed but that's the reason why I get angry is I'm not expelling my energy and this is the important reason why I always have to reset my goals and keep chasing things is to keep that anger down keep that depression down you know i always i just think of it as like a like a bottle of water right so you've got depression anxiety and anger and over time it sort of builds up right and then you go to the gym it comes back down yeah you look so happy when you yeah yeah and then you know you're in the supermarket i'm out with my kids and i'm going to work and doing expos and it's just about going to go to the gym it comes back down and that's how i explain it to people it's just about to foam over and I'll bring it back down again with a good gym session.

27:34And that's how I control myself. You know, and it's not, I'm not an angry person, but I feel like the way my brain ticks can look like I'm an angry person.

I'm investing heavily in gold and silver and I recommend you check out robmoore.directbullying.com Do you still back Trump? Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do. I think Trump, like love him, I hate him. I think he's doing what the people want. Deep down. I think, you know, he's a man of the people and, you know, he's not even my president but I can just see from an outside perspective in my opinion, I just feel like he's doing good things. He's just talking sense.

29:27He's being real. He's not bowing down to woke bullshit. You know, he's keeping, in my opinion, he's keeping America on a good track. Whether people sort of agree or disagree on that, that's totally down to them. I'm not going to get into that shit. But I support Trump. I think of all the presidents we've had so far, I think he's been the one that's been the most relatable to the people. And how do you think our prime minister is in terms of - Keir Starmer is the biggest fucking cunt. on planet earth i don't hold it back i'm not gonna hold it back he is a specky eyed cunt honestly i i can't think of any more bloke that's more hated in the uk right now than keir starmer he has backtracked and gone back on so many different things in britain and people have just had enough you know you speak to the joe public everyone's just had enough the the immigration the taxes, the school and this digital ID bullshit.

30:26It's just, it's just symbolic. He's not listening to the people, what the people want. And that's what makes him a bad prime minister is not listening to the general public. Why do you think he's not? Why is he so tone deaf? I think they just live in it. Honestly, I think the MPs and that, that sort of, I think they just live in a different world to us. I don't think they have to deal with our shit. You know, they don't live next to these immigration hotels. They don't have kids that live next to these immigration hotels that are getting sexually abused and molested. And they're not getting family members that are getting attacked and raped and everything.

31:01It doesn't affect them. So they're in a different world. They are in this higher bracket of income. They live in these high castles. They live in these high tier houses in London. They're just in a different bubble to us. And I genuinely think someone like Keir Starmer would do him a world of good. Come and live in the center of Birmingham. Yeah. Go and live in the center of Birmingham for fucking two weeks, three weeks, and just get stuck in. Just go to the fucking shops. Just go, you know, go to a fucking garage. Go to a supermarket. Go and have a pint. And just see what the fucking people are saying.

31:34See what's happening on the streets. I think that's what our prime minister should do, is fucking lower himself down to the general public's level and realize that he's serving the wrong people. He's serving the MPs and everybody else. is not serving the mass population in the country. And would you leave? How are you feeling about staying here? I'm getting fucked off with it, yeah. It's got to the point now where they keep doing all these surveys and everything about how we can increase taxes. And every single time it always points to the wealthy, right? So it always points to people like myself and like, pay more tax.

32:15I tell you now, I pay more tax than most people in this world. and to point the finger at us and say to pay more tax, that's just such a fucking pussy way out of it. And a prime minister should be thinking of ways to fix it. Number one, stop immigration. Stop illegal immigration. That would fix so much fucking funding in this country. The amount of our fucking tax money going on illegal immigrants is insane. Five and a half million a day. Just for the hotels. Just for the hotels. Just for the hotels. Oz, don't factor in the laptops, the phones. The Playstations, the bikes. Playstations, the bikes, the food.

32:53They even get 500 quid on their birthday. Did you know that? Did you know that? I didn't before you told me before we went on. 500 quid on their birthday. My son doesn't get 500 quid off the fucking government on the birthday. You fucking specky-eyed cunt. So, yeah, I'm just done with it. Like there's better ways to fucking save tax money rather than pointing the finger at the super rich. And it's just because people like myself will just pick up shop and fuck off. And then the country will be worse off, way worse off. And that's what's happened in other countries is they've pointed the finger at the mega rich.

33:31They've made them pay more tax. And what happens? They leave. They fuck off to Dubai. They fuck off to fucking wherever. And then that tax never fucking happens. And then the working class have to pay more tax. And the working class have to pay more. So just use common sense. And it's so easy. Like you do these polls and they give them to the general public. And of course they're going to say tax the wealthy more because they don't know any better. But what really needs to happen is the MP should be going, right, where can we actually save money? And it's fucking, you know, stuff like illegal immigration.

34:02Let's fuck that off before we start taxing our own people more. Silver has crashed. It's back to its price in 1974. And I'm going to buy more.

Oh, that's a good question. I, you know, deep down inside, I would love him to be. And deep down inside, I would love to push him hard and pressure him to do that. but i feel like and i've been there myself if you put too much pressure on a kid they go the opposite way and they almost like want to defy their parents so did you ever do that what to my son defy your parents oh yeah so i had it when i was when i was max's age i was like a national champion swimmer like a very like olympic standard i was on the junior olympic team and up until that point it was super relaxed you know they would like take me to training drop me off you can leave me to it wouldn't you know they come to the odd competition oh well done you got another first you know but the second i got put onto this olympic squad was the second it got serious and the second my parents were like right you've got to go this training session oh you finished 10 minutes early that's not that we got to make it up next time and like turning up to the competitions but like everything just took it up a mega serious notch and it just made me hate it the second my parents started pushing me into training is the second i hated it and the second my my times and my pves and results just went like just fucking dropped out the arse yeah so i've been there myself and i know what pressure from your parents does support you know just taking me there have a good session picking me up oh you won another goal well done support is great but pressuring like you've got to go to session you've got to do this many lengths you've got to do what the coach says those are two totally different things yeah so i mean with max i said for years come to gym with me like from age five come to gym and he's always said no dad no no no he said when i'm 10 i'll come training with you 10 sounds like a good age and you know i stepped back i was like you know he's right you know body development and everything he's probably right yeah leaving until his 10th and then on his 10th birthday we started training here in the gym so i go in the gym four times a week two hours a session and he's done that consistently now for three years he's just turned 13 wow so he's you know barely missed any training sessions and any time i've tried to push him we've just butted heads like any time i tried to force him to do anything or do a heavier weight i almost feel like we could just break loose and break into a fist fight at any second and honestly i'm actually quite scared of the little bastard he's going to be so much bigger than me um so pressure is not the way you know i'm giving him the tools i hire a coach for him so i had a coach for the whole family just like pts for my mom my dad my you know my wife my son um whoever you know i was in the family you know and he takes him to the gym and he does the sessions with him and he does his programming and it works really well because he's He's got a mate.

37:49He's got someone he can talk to. He's got somebody he can, you know, talk about girlfriends and whatever else and whatever goes on at school. And he's got like, I've sort of like employed his best friend for him. Yeah. You know, to go and take him to the gym, which has been great. And I feel like that gets the best out of it. You must secretly want to train with him though. Yeah, no, I do. With your son. No, I do. Yeah, now and again, I'll join in. Oh, okay. And he's cool with that. He lets you in. Yeah, he's cool. Yeah, now and again, I'll be like, right, I'll ring his coach up and be like, I'm going to take him today.

38:17because sometimes I just like to remind him what hard work is. So now and again, you know, fuck his coach off. Right, right, mate. We're going to train fucking hard today. You know what I mean? And we'll fucking get it. And I'll push him on absolutely everything. And he knows it and he says it. But I'll just say like, you know, this is how you should, this is how I train. You know, if you want to be a top-level strongman, this is what you've got to do. So now and again, I'll do that with him. And I think it clicks. You know, it goes back to his coach and he does push that a little bit harder. Yeah.

38:47So it's little incentives, little pushes, but not to the point where if he's not doing the reps or if he fails something, I'm getting angry with him. Yeah. Because that's quite an easy thing to do, isn't it? Get angry with your kid for underperforming. I don't want to be that parent. No. And he's what, 13, is he now? Just turned 13, yeah. And what's he deadlifting? 160 kilos. Most adults can't do that. So I weighed him yesterday, actually. He's 101 kilos. He's 13. What year is that in school? Year nine. He must be twice the size of all the other kids. And also the youngest as well. If he was another two weeks younger, he'd still be in year eight.
