Men’s Health: Built For Life

Show Notes

“If you lined up all 70 million people in the UK... I’d pick you as the most likely to have a heart attack right now.”

Eddie Hall, former World’s Strongest Man, record-breaking deadlifter, boxer, MMA fighter, and father, sits down with Men's Health to reveal the full story behind the strength.

We talk mental health, steroids, addiction, carnivore diets, gym therapy, 12,000-calorie days, and what it really takes to lift half a ton… and walk away from it all alive.
