Enormous Man Sets New Deadlift Record with Arnold Schwarzenegger Cheering Him On

A man known as The Beast set a weightlifting record with Arnold Schwarzenegger cheering him on and totally left him hanging on the celebratory high-five.

I imagine, for weightlifters, setting a deadlift world record in front of Arnold Schwarzenegger is a lot like hitting a game-winning shot in front of Wilt Chamberlain. Or losing your virginity in front of Wilt Chamberlain. So, for Eddie Hall, known simply as "The Beast," it must have been a pretty awesome moment when he successfully deadlifted 1,018 pounds with Arnold urging him on. So cool in fact, that when he unhooked himself from the bar, he totally left Weekend Dad Arnold hanging on the high-five.

The Beast and the Terminator eventually got that high-five and exchanged words with each other, but what a moment. So jacked up you forgot to high-five Arnold Schwarzenegger at a weightlifting competition. Check it off your bucket list, The Beast.
