A new study sought to discover the secrets of super strength of Eddie Hall 36, a man who was the winner of the 2017 World’s Strongest Man award .
The research was developed by scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom and investigated, through strength tests and MRI scans carried out on the individual, the factors that contributed to Eddie’s extreme strength.
The research was based on a comparison between Eddie, a person who does physical exercise, with men who do not train.
To the scientists’ surprise, the study found that Eddie’s lower body muscles were the ones that stood out from the rest of the group who didn’t train. The calf muscles (called plantar flexors) and the three muscles called “support cords,” which provide stability to the pelvis and thigh, showed the biggest differences, showing an increase of 120 to 202 percent over the other people studied.

This suggests that these stabilising muscles may be more important for lifting and carrying weights than previously thought,” Dr Tom Balshaw, from the University’s School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, said in a press release.
Their influence has been little studied by scientists over the years.
He added: “Overall, the results suggest how adaptable the muscular system is, with the greatest muscular development in the muscles that Eddie trains and uses the most. This suggests that we can all change and develop our muscular system to improve the function and performance of our muscles.”
