Well, in a slightly offtopic-ish comment; Think about all the guys with small frames you see - small waist, small wrists, narrow shoulders. None of those can be increased. Are any of those guys heaping with muscle? Not that I've ever seen. This goes to the well studied fact that muscle growth and skeletal structure are directly tied to each other where bones are the frame and the base. Greg Nuckols has a great piece of research on a person's maximum muscle mass they can achieve naturally. It is calculated by measurements of bone structures - like wrist circumference + ankle circumference etc. Bones rules muscle. Not the other way around. >So I wonder how was Eddie Hall able to lift 1,100 pounds the second time around? I'm unaware of him doing a 2nd 500kg lift. I do know that Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson did 501kg in an unsanctioned but semisanctioned (weird due to lockdowns) lift. Either way it's fucking insane. My best deadlift is 152 KG.
