When it comes to Strongmen, Eddie Hall just has to be one of the most famous in Britain.
The bloke’s a legend and has delivered us with all sorts of memorable moments from knocking out two brothers in one round during his MMA debut to that time he leg pressed 1,000kg.
But the former UK’s Strongest Man doesn’t half put himself through it, that’s for sure. Like during a previous competition, when footage captured the horrifying moment Hall passed out during a brutal Strongman challenge that most people wouldn’t dare to even attempt.
The now 36-year-old was participating in the Conan’s Wheel event, titled after the famed character of ‘muscle and might’ – Conan the Barbarian.
Conan’s Wheel is tipped by Strongman as a ‘test of unrivalled endurance and strength’ that demands ‘not just muscle power but mental stamina’.
Basically, it’s a yards-long bar, fitted onto a pivot and at the end of ‘Conan’s Bar’ are typically weights that the athlete must then lift and carry around.
The dreaded challenge is now a vital component in premier strength competitions around the world but certainly isn’t for the faint hearted.
And when Hall was competing to become Britain’s Strongest Man in 2014, the video shows just what it put him through.
The commentator can be heard saying: “This is mind over matter and his mind says the pain does not matter,” as The Beast carries the bar.
As he completes full circles of the wheel, it’s noted that Hall is going slower than his competitor as they explain that with ‘his body shape, you wouldn’t expect him to do particularly well here’.
He appears to be starting to struggle as his arms start to ‘sink down to his waist’ and he’s ‘barely able to move’.
As he gets slower, Hall then drops the bar, falling to his knees and onto his back as he appears to pass out after doing 720 degrees of ‘Conan’s Circle’.

Crew then rush over to the Strongman as he soon comes round and gets back to his feet ‘covered in paint and covered in glory’.
You certainly can’t knock Hall’s determination, it still worked out for him, as he ended up winning his first Britain’s Strongest Man title that year.
That started off an impressive run for him, as he won his fifth straight Britain’s Strongest Man competition in 2018 before retiring from the competitions shortly after. What a legend.
Bury a banana in the ground – it’s amazing what happens after 7 days
Even the most neglected vegetable gardens or plants can be given new life by the natural fertilizer that bananas provide for the soil.
Why put a banana in the ground?
Spring brings with it a great deal more garden maintenance than is required throughout the winter. After all, even during the winter, you must continue to tend to your plants and garden. Watering and fertilizing in particular need to be done consistently.
The need for having produced organic products on-site has grown during and after the different lock downs and the start of the epidemic. Apart from being a gratifying and fulfilling hobby, tending to plants and vegetables also has the potential to reduce stress.
By utilizing organic fertilizers that come straight from our kitchen, you may save time, money, and the environment by replacing artificial fertilizers and fertilizers. Eggshells, coffee grinds, fruit peels, and vegetable leftovers can all be used as the ideal fertilizer for your plants. One more instance? Drop the bananas into the ground. Let’s look at how to do it and why it is beneficial to our plants. It is quite simple to use because it doesn’t call for maceration or mixes, which may be laborious and time-consuming.
How to carry out
One fruit that is frequently found in our kitchens is the banana. Therefore, taking one entire and planting it won’t be too tough. In essence, let’s examine what must be done.
You must dig a hole in the ground or in the container if you have potted plants or a tiny garden in the ground. It will now be necessary to place the banana into the hole you just made in the earth. You’re going to have to wait a bit at this point.
The banana will actually start to break down in a few days. It will release nutrients into the soil during its decomposition, which the soil and plant will gradually absorb. This organic fertilizer will enable your vegetables to develop robustly and healthily.
In actuality, bananas are incredibly high in potassium and can strengthen a plant’s defensive mechanism, shielding it from parasites and illness. In addition, if the banana is planted intact in the ground, it will allow the plant to have well-fed roots, which will shield it from the cold and extended dry spells.
Bananas encourage the production of higher-quality fruit in fruit plants, while they encourage flowering in flowering plants.
Banana peels can be used in addition to the entire banana if they are first allowed to macerate in a glass jar with water.
