Over a year ago, the world’s strongest drug-free man, Mike Hall, suffered a heart attack known as the widow maker. The widow maker is a term people use when talking about a blockage in the main coronary artery, which will most likely cause a massive heart attack. The American Heart Association says the survival rate for this type of attack is only 5%. Luckily, Mike is part of that 5%.

Mike says he feels good and everything looks great with his heart. The damage done to his heart was minimal and his doctors say they can’t even see a scar.

Mike has many accomplishments: 

• First man to total a combined life of 2100-2300 lbs in a drug test competition
• First African American to win gold in the heavy weight world power lifting
• 10-time national and 5-time world power lifting athlete
• National Freedom Day Award recipient
