Horrifying moment Eddie Hall passed out doing brutal strongman challenge that most people wouldn’t dare to attempt

When it comes to Strongmen, Eddie Hall just has to be one of the most famous in Britain.

The bloke’s a legend and has delivered us with all sorts of memorable moments from knocking out two brothers in one round during his MMA debut to that time he leg pressed 1,000kg.

But the former UK’s Strongest Man doesn’t half put himself through it, that’s for sure. Like during a previous competition, when footage captured the horrifying moment Hall passed out during a brutal Strongman challenge that most people wouldn’t dare to even attempt.

The now 36-year-old was participating in the Conan’s Wheel event, titled after the famed character of ‘muscle and might’ – Conan the Barbarian.

Conan’s Wheel is tipped by Strongman as a ‘test of unrivalled endurance and strength’ that demands ‘not just muscle power but mental stamina’.

Basically, it’s a yards-long bar, fitted onto a pivot and at the end of ‘Conan’s Bar’ are typically weights that the athlete must then lift and carry around.

The dreaded challenge is now a vital component in premier strength competitions around the world but certainly isn’t for the faint hearted.

And when Hall was competing to become Britain’s Strongest Man in 2014, the video shows just what it put him through.

The commentator can be heard saying: “This is mind over matter and his mind says the pain does not matter,” as The Beast carries the bar.

As he completes full circles of the wheel, it’s noted that Hall is going slower than his competitor as they explain that with ‘his body shape, you wouldn’t expect him to do particularly well here’.

He appears to be starting to struggle as his arms start to ‘sink down to his waist’ and he’s ‘barely able to move’.

As he gets slower, Hall then drops the bar, falling to his knees and onto his back as he appears to pass out after doing 720 degrees of ‘Conan’s Circle’.

Crew then rush over to the Strongman as he soon comes round and gets back to his feet ‘covered in paint and covered in glory’.

You certainly can’t knock Hall’s determination, it still worked out for him, as he ended up winning his first Britain’s Strongest Man title that year.

That started off an impressive run for him, as he won his fifth straight Britain’s Strongest Man competition in 2018 before retiring from the competitions shortly after. What a legend.

He built an 89-square-foot house—wait until you see the inside!

At just 13 years old, Luke Thill from Iowa stands out from his peers—not because of his love for video games or gadgets, but because he built his very own tiny house. Unlike most kids his age, Luke turned his boredom into an ambitious project: a fully functional, 89-square-foot house in his parents’ backyard.

A Dream Built on Determination

Luke’s dream of building a house began with a simple desire to do something meaningful. His project, which cost about $1,500, took a year of hard work to complete. 

To fund it, Luke mowed lawns, organized online fundraisers, took on odd jobs, and even bartered for services. For instance, a family friend helped him install electrical wiring in exchange for Luke clearing out his garage.

Luke also incorporated sustainability into his project. About 75% of the materials he used were recycled, including items from his grandmother’s house and a front door gifted by his uncle’s friend.

A Minimalist Sanctuary

The tiny house, measuring just 10 feet long and 5.5 feet wide, has electricity but no plumbing yet. Inside, it’s a cozy retreat complete with a loft bed, a microwave, a TV, and even a barbecue setup outside. It’s a space where Luke can unwind, do his homework, and occasionally spend the night.

“I liked the minimalism,” Luke explained. “And I wanted to have a house without a huge mortgage.”

Lessons in Responsibility

Luke’s parents were supportive of his venture but ensured he took ownership of the project. His father, Greg, made sure Luke covered most of the expenses himself.

“It was a chance for a kid to do something more than play video games or sports,” Greg said. “It teaches life lessons.”

Inspiring a Generation

Luke’s story has captured the attention of many, especially through his YouTube channel, where he shares videos documenting his journey. He hopes to inspire other kids to take on big projects and realize their potential.

“I want to show kids it’s possible to build at this age,” Luke said.

Have a look at this project below:

Looking ahead, Luke dreams of building a slightly larger house when he’s older—perhaps one he can use during college.

A Young Visionary

Luke Thill’s tiny house is more than just a personal achievement; it’s a testament to hard work, resourcefulness, and the power of dreaming big. His story is an inspiring example of what young people can accomplish with determination and a little support from their family.

If you’re inspired by Luke’s incredible project, share his story to encourage others to think big and act boldly!
