Just looked up his lifts too. I was stronger than him at my peak (3-4 years ago). I was of course, way more fat than he is. The tricky part is being that strong and also look as good as he does.

I guess it also depends on whether you put your emphasis on functional muscle mass or aesthetics.

Yeah, if you look at the guys who compete on strongmen competitions and the like they aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing in their physiques. 

[crazy canuck]

But mid twenties me had a fairly similiar physic.

Yeah right. Of course.

In my twenties I was doing two a day work outs plus scrimmages.  So actually much more fit and strong than he is.  But he is merely acting so he is not doing bad at all.

I'm not sure I follow. One can choose this?

As in, "I want my muscles to be large, but I don't actually care if I can lift anything. So I'm going to do these exercises. " Like, that's a thing?

Compare bodybuilding and strongman competitors.

@Meri

Yes.

There's a ratio & it's not a perfect either situation but

More reps with smaller weights favors muscle hypertrophy.
Less reps with bigger weights favors muscle fiber strength.

This is Eddie Hall going from "strongman competitor" physique to a leaner one:

The world's strongest man has produced an incredible 12-month body transformation, flaunting a ripped physique in a recent social media post.

Eddie Hall was at the top of his game in 2017, snatching the World's Strongest Man title with his whopping 196kg frame.

But fast forward a year and Hall has swapped his bulging power belly with a six pack, shocking fans in the process.

Hall's impressive weight loss is an extension of his desire to consider life after strongman, as revealed in the 2017 documentary 'Born Strong'.

The 30-year-old expressed his interest in pursuing another sport like bodybuilding or fighting post-strongman career, causing his wife to become emotional.

Hall's wife was brought to tears as she pleaded with him to "just be normal", with even he himself confession the longer he stayed at his heaviest weight the short his life would be.

After dropping more than 30kg to shed from 196kg to 164kg, the World's Strongest Man shared the secrets to his success:

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day; this is where most people will make their first BIG mistake if they're trying to lose weight.

"Coffee ... The caffeine in your morning coffee stops an enzyme called amylase from working correctly, which is located in your mouth and gut, and breaks down starchy carbs.

"If you have coffee with your cereal, toast or granola, this is the worst way to start your day.

"Try some citric acid instead, which can actually increase the production of amylase – a glass of orange juice instead is the perfect replacement."

In 2016, strongman Eddie Hall set an impressive deadlift world record by lifting an incredible 500kg.

According to Hall, the feat he accomplished at the World Deadlift Championships in England almost killed him.

"That nearly killed me," Hall said after the historic lift.

"The pressure on my body was surreal. I passed out after. I had nose bleeds.

"It's not healthy doing something like that. But I've done it. I'm sure it will be in the history books for a very long time."

Saw a joke on Reddit.

Q: what's the difference between Disney+ and Pornhub?

A: Disney+ wants you to hate your stepmother.

And on his nerdish hobbies, I just saw Henry Cavill was trending. It's because he was at Warhammer World today

Saw a clip of Henry Cavill being asked "Xbox or PlayStation" and his expression was like "come on, PC obviously."

[Syt]

I linked that further up. He also has a video where he builds his own gaming PC.

He did say he likes playing Total War: Warhammer a lot, so Creative Assembly added a character based on him.
