Eddie Hall is a name synonymous with strength and powerlifting. Known for his impressive feats of power, the giant set a CrossFit World Record in 2020 for doing 31 reps of 135lbs in 50 seconds. It is a record that has stood unbroken for years, as no one even came close to breaking it. However, the famous powerlifter Quin Stott recently made headlines when he finally stood up to the occasion and tried to surpass the record of the British giant. 

It’s not surprising that Hall’s CrossFit world record has stood unbroken for so long as it requires an immense amount of strength, endurance, and training. But Stott recently grabbed a lot of eyeballs as he gave his best shot to break the long-standing record. 

Stott tried his best to break the record of Eddie Hall

Stott recently took to Instagram and posted a video. In the video the famous powerlifter Stott can be seen giving it his all, trying to lift the weight and complete as many reps as possible. He started strong, showing incredible power, focus, and commitment.

The powerlifter kept pushing hard to do the reps within the time limit. But as time passed, his strength started to fade. He could feel his body getting tired, and he knew he was falling short of his goal. Even after giving everything, the powerlifter could manage to perform 21 repetitions before giving up. “Had two more in me but would have passed out. Bro is just built different,” he wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.
