I’ve learnt so much from my DNA
You find out a lot about yourself in this game – mental and physical mostly. Those are the most obvious things, but one thing I’d never really considered was my chemical make-up – my DNA. Recently I’ve had my DNA tested by experts MUHDO, and one of the more obvious things that popped up was that I have a vitamin D deficiency. Not great news as the days get shorter – sunlight is one of the biggest sources of vitamin D. And not great news for me in particular –... Read more...
Eddie Hall: Book signings and tour!
My book, Strongman, My Life is out – and I should know – yesterday I lifted 536kgs of copies of them to establish a new World Record, the Silver dollar Deadlift from 18″ (18″ off the floor with straps allowed). The old one had been held by Tom Magee (done with cheese blocks!) at 535kg for 34 years. Thankfully, there was no blood coming out of my face – it’s not a good look on television!Interest in the book has been phenomenal and a massive thanks to all of you... Read more...
Strongman, My Life is released today!
Weird but cool! My new autobiography, Strongman, is on the shelves. It’s something I never expected I’d be doing, writing a book about my life. It’s a bit of a weird feeling, but a brilliant one. My life has moved on massively in recent years. I’ve reached the pinnacle of what I always wanted to achieve as a strongman. That’s quite a story to tell, quite a journey to have been on, and to see it up there on the bookshelves certainly does feel pretty cool. For me, Strongman is... Read more...
Keep on keeping on
When you’re an elite strongman, just like any other sportsman right at the top of their trade, you can’t afford to take your eye off your training for a minute. You also know you have a responsibility to your fans to give it your very best every time you go out and perform. Sometimes that can be difficult. I had a show recently, the Giants Live World Championships, in Manchester, where I was really struggling. I’d had flu all week and it made it hard to say the least. I... Read more...
Lift off for City of Culture bid
It’s not often you launch a duck into space. I’m strong, but I don’t think I could get one that far! This was all part of Stoke-on-Trent’s bid to win the nomination for City of Culture 2021. I’m backing the city’s bid and the more people who are aware of what a great place Stoke-on-Trent is the better. I’m proud to come from North Staffordshire and even bidding for the nomination has got the city buzzing, so who knows what it will be like if we actually win it. They... Read more...
Eddie book signings and tour
I’m used to travelling around, be it for competitions, talks, appearances or whatever, but the coming months are going to be hectic even by my standards. Basically, what we’ve got here is Eddie on tour! Over the next few weeks, look out for me popping up at a theatre or bookshop near you. I’ll be doing signings of my autobiography Strongman at shops across the country. It’s a chance for you to say hello and get an autographed copy, and a welcome chance for me to meet my fans. Just...

Sharing a settee with Piers Morgan!
I’ve had a few early starts down the years, but the only part of breakfast television I’ve ever really enjoyed is the breakfast! It’s all happening this week, though. My book Strongman being launched has sent me on a string of media interviews and book signings. On Wednesday, Oct 18, I’ll be on the set of Good Morning Britain – sat there, not lifting it up – with their early morning team, including Piers Morgan. It’s one of the quirks of the job that you do get to meet some... Read more...
Eddie’s new autobiography reveals his journey to the pinnacle
It’s something I never expected I’d be doing, writing a book about my life. It’s a bit of a weird feeling, but a brilliant one. My life has moved on massively in recent years.

I want the fans... Read more...
