Competing in weightlifting and Strongman competitions is a product of hard work, practice, diet, and discipline. Once you reach a high enough level, the difference between competitors is incremental, however, once in a while you will see a person just dominate his peers and competition. Push your body to the highest extremes, and you start to see diminishing returns. So, how do people like Eddie Hall manage to take their body to a level higher than the average competitor? Dr. Brian Sutterer explains more in this video.

What others are saying.
“Good video! There’s another idea in strength-sports that says it’s not so much pure muscle mass, but also “how many muscle fibers you can recruit from your nervous system to exert the force” I don’t know what clinical/biological markers we have today to measure that, but it should be a testable hypothesis!”
