Eddie Hall starts his journey from 360lb former-World’s Strongest Man to become bodybuilder

FORMER World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall is going to dabble in the bodybuilding world.

Barring a one-off appearance at the World's Strongest Nation show back in November, the six-time U.K.'s Strongest Man has been retired from the sport since he won the World title in 2017.

Now 34, Hall is a popular YouTuber who has also tried his hand at boxing and acting along the way.

But now he's heading back into the world of pure strength, on his channel that he's "gonna try his hand" at bodybuilding.

While he admitted he's not going to go all-out, he said he wants "to see where I can get to.

"I've done the strongman, done a bit of boxing, I was a national champion swimmer back in the day, I think bodybuilding is a great transfer over from strongman."

Hall's boxing career so far has been limited to just the one bout after losing to fellow former World's Strongest Man Hafþór Björnsson in Dubai back in March.

While he's no longer at his peak 430 pounds - sporting a slimmer 360-pound frame today - he said that he has "held the muscle mass."

He explained that his plan is to "do a big bulk.

"So I'm gonna blow up, get all my muscles big and juicy again, and then we're gonna do a trim."

His goal is to make his debut on stage "the back end of next year, so probably October, November, December next year."

And Hall hasn't wasted any time in diving into the deep end of this latest strength-related venture, posting training shots alongside fitness YouTuber Jesse James West.

So, is Hall aiming to become the next Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Not quite.

Hall himself admitted that he's "not going to be Big Ramy (two-time Mr. Olympia)," and that he's aiming for something more along the lines of fellow former strongman-turned-bodybuilder Terry Hollands which he described as "sort of in between.

"Sort of like Chris Bumstead (four-time Mr. Olympia Classic Physique winner) but with ridiculous mass to it as well."
