I'm here with Eddie Hall this is dr.
Nick Delgado Eddie you're an amazing
strongman you've broken world records
what is it about the mentality to be
able to accomplish such incredible
physical feats well I mean the mental
game of any sport is probably 90% of the
you know the sort of the effort you know
what you put in and if you haven't got
the sort of mental attitude to go and
bother beyond what other people will
willing to do then you're never gonna be
number one I think that you know to be
the best in the world at any sport
you've got to have something wrong with
you in here to be honest you've got that
that that void in the life that they're
trying to fill and they fill it with
activities with hobbies and for me my
void fella is lifting weights is your
training style different as you age and
is it something that you find works to
prolong your career yes I mean I mean
lifting weights I made a career out of
it and now I've sort of retired from the
surround mine scene I believe that
lifting weights you're not only is it
giving you that mental fortitude going
forward in life you know it's something
that I can give a release almost every
day get all that aggression out it's you
know it's been proved in science you
know people that work work out and lift
weights let live a lot longer than
people that don't so you know you'll see
me working out well into the 70s 80s and
90s if I make it that long so in your
world the use of recovery there's
biological interventions now of stem
cells hyperbaric oxygen altitude
conditioning bioidentical hormone
intervention what do you think is
important in this area is this helpful
to senior athletes and all people in the
world recovery is one of the biggest
things in sport right now it's where
it's where all sports are advancing you
know training is the same bit people
people can't train any harder but they
can recover harder and that's where
that's where the human race is evolving
I believe that you know the hot and cold
treatment the stem cells I've had the
stem cells myself I've done the heart
cold I've run the hyperbaric chambers
I've got me an hyperbaric chamber at
home in my garden so these kind of
things you know that they are on the top
of my list I believe that you know good
diet lots of water lots of antioxidants
as the way forward in life you know just
just being healthy in general and
there's some benefit over all to adding
more vegetables and fruit into the diet
whole unprocessed foods yeah
you know for me it's all about keeping
that balance I somewhat of a healthy
diet but I do enjoy the what you call
the crap you know like the cheesecakes
and whatever else you've got to enjoy
your life you know that's the key you
can eat chicken and rice and vegetables
all day that's not living you know that
that's been too strict you've got a you
got a venture out man needs variety in
life I've always say to stay alive
Eddie Hall when the strongest man in
history at one point you were striving
and it just made me happy by chance you
had ripped abs and weighing over how
much did you weigh at that point I mean
at the minute I'm like 385 pounds got a
decent set of abs and the peak I was 440
pounds I wouldn't say I had abs then but
yeah it's a it's quite nice to be this
weight and be somewhat of condition how
important is love in our life loves
everything you know community is a big
thing as well you know having friends
and family around you I feel as as what
keeps us going you know people always
say to me why don't you move out to the
states why don't you move to Florida I
don't want to you know my family's at
home or wife my kids my mom my dad my
brothers are close it's uh for me that's
love you know community is love
absolutely how do people find you in
social media and we'll put that in the
show notes
oh so social media insert is Eddie Hall
WSM Facebook's Eddie hall the Beast and
on YouTube which is doing quite well the
minute is I think it's Eddie Hall the
beast as well what do you think goes
into making an entertaining YouTube
presentation or segment comedy all day
long if you make people laugh then
they'll keep coming back for more so you
know with my videos I don't take things
too seriously you know I'll take the
piss so I'll take that take the mick out
of myself and just have a good time
doing it and just be yourself
could you be a stand-up comic um you
know I don't know I don't know I see
myself as a funny guy but we're rocky
got where we could get on stage and for
a few thousands of people and do it
but I'm one of these guys if you if you
boot me for a gig for a stand-up
comedian I would I would put some effort
and put some training in and I'll
probably pull it off there's a joke come
to mind
I'm from Britain I'm from England mate
so my jokes are a bit a bit a bit low
below the belt for on-camera so we'll
leave out there dr. Nick Delgado living
beyond 100 be happy be healthy and find
Eddie hall the beast see you later
