Strongman: My Story

What does it take to become the Strongest Man in the World? Few athletes have had as big an impact on British sport over the last five years as Eddie Hall. Not only is he subject of trending Netflix documentary, Eddie- Strongman, but his social media following exceeds 1m, and he draws huge crowds at Strongman arena tour Giants Live. The reason for Eddie's popularity is simple- he is the biggest name and the biggest talent in one of the fastest-growing sports. He is pure box office. And it's not just his fanbase that is immense. Everything about Eddie is huge. Standing at 6' 3", he weighs almost 31 stone, and to make it through his hellish four-hour gym sessions, he needs to eat a minimum of 12,000 calories. He puts himself under so much strain, his left eyeball once burst out of its socket. In his remarkable autobiography, Eddie takes you inside the world of professional Strongman - the nutrition, the training and competitions themselves. It's a visceral story of sporting achievement, of an athlete pushing himself to the limits, and the personal journey of a man on a path to being the best in the world.
