Being a Strongman comes with a lot of injuries. Torn muscles/ligaments/tendons, broken bones, dislocated limbs. Its all part of the job if you want to be huge and able to bend frying pans.

Eddie Hall has talked at length about his injuries during his Strongman career and numerous health issues he suffered leading up to his famous 500 kg deadlift and after that. However, what he hasnt really talked about(until recently) was an injury that happened to his private parts.

In a recent interview with the famous British tabloid site, Mirror, Eddie has revealed that he once nearly lost hisWorlds Strongest Penisin a freak accident. Heres what he himself had to say about it;

I piled a load of heavy weights on a leg-press machine and then heard a loud thud. It had come crashing down and the weights had landed on my penis. I nearly bled to death,

It was bad. The worst ever. I didnt cry for help though. I just lifted them off, drove myself to hospital and got stitched up. I was back training soon enough. via mirror.co.uk

That sort of injury would make grown men cry out in pain like little children. However, Eddie is no ordinary man and is no stranger to injuries. So, to him getting hurt was another day at the office.

Also, this didnt stop Eddie from going crazy on the leg press either. A month ago he pressed +2000lbs on the leg press and literally blacked out.

Planet Fitness is planning to open a Woodstock location in the former Office Depot building.

Planet Fitness currently is completing cosmetic and signage work, and has yet to move in its gym equipment. An opening date hasnt been made public, Woodstock Economic Development Director Garrett Anderson said.

Ive seen the billboards going up, and they just say coming soon, Anderson said. They dont have a firm open date yet.

The location will be in the Eastwood Shopping Center at 414 S. Eastwood Drive. Office Depot closed in 2015, and the building has been vacant since that time.

Founded in 1992 in New Hampshire, Planet Fitness operates almost 2,000 clubs. Planet Fitness in Woodstock will be the third in McHenry County. Planet Fitness also has locations in Crystal Lake and McHenry.

Standard memberships to Planet Fitness are $10 a month. An upgraded $22.99 membership allows patrons to work out at any Planet Fitness location and use services such as massage chairs and tanning equipment, according to its website.

GREENSBORO Lynch Hunt wants to tell you and he's not afraid to tell you that he's made mistakes.

Once the leader of an $8.3 million drug operation in the late 1990s and early 2000s, he spent 10 years behind bars. Hes not "Big L" anymore, a man who wore expensive watches and furs and today doesn't bear any resemblance to that other life.

These days, he has different handles: Coach Lynch. Mentor. Businessman. Prison-reform advocate. Motivational speaker. Transformation specialist.

In the drug game and its a cliche, but true you either end up in jail or dead. It's just a matter of time.

Thing is with Hunt, he was actually trying to get out when he got busted.

Now as a free man, the lessons he's learned on the way to changing his life he wants to impart to others.

Many of those lessons are taught at AWOL Fitness on the edge of downtown, a place Hunt runs with all the compassion of a drill sergeant.

And as he teaches people to face their fear, he faces his own.

For a long time, Hunt didn't talk about his past.

He worried that he hadn't built enough value in the community although he counts some of the most powerful and prominent people in Greensboro as clients and has been involved in efforts to help the less fortunate.

But he also couldn't shake the feeling that he could help prevent ex-convicts from returning to prison and others from getting into the pipeline. And people are paying attention.

Hunt's book, "From Prison to Prosperity," influenced legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Mark Walker of Greensboro on criminal justice reform that would enlist several federal agencies to train inmates in such fields as manufacturing and health care so they are better prepared to succeed after their release.

At an appearance together last week, Walker told the crowd that he drew inspiration from Hunt.

"We hope to replicate your story," Walker said.

Hunt wasn't the best at football, baseball or basketball. He had to work at every sport as far back as Pop Warner. But they always made him captain.

"Through work ethic, through discipline, through being a leader," he explained as he stood in the middle of AWOL Fitness, a place for serious gym rats and for the unfit to get serious.

His parents separated when he was young. Outside, not far away from the apartment where he and his siblings resettled, drug dealers gathered on a street corner.

The New Jersey neighborhood was steeped in poverty and seeded with despair.

As Hunts mother left in the early morning for the two or three jobs she had that day, she would tell her three children Hunt at age 7 was the middle child to watch after each other as they ventured outside to ride their bikes.

"We raised each other," Hunt said.

Hunt as a high school basketball player.

In high school, he made good grades and was excellent in calculus and trigonometry without having to study.

By then, some of the neighborhood kids he hung out with were making a name for themselves, too as regulars on the corner selling drugs.

But not Hunt. Not yet. He was going to a small college in New Jersey on a scholarship. He was leaving the streets, and the life, behind.

The guys on the corner didn't bother him. Maybe they were pulling for him, too.

He would have been the first in his family to graduate from college. Only he didn't graduate.

Once he was there, the independence perhaps not having his mother as a personal "snooze button" was something he handled poorly.

He started showing up late for class. Soon, he was sleeping through classes. Eventually, he dropped so many classes that he was no longer a full-time student and lost his scholarship.

For Hunt, that meant one thing.

"I had to go back home to that same environment," he said.

The family had long moved out of Hunt's childhood home. But Hunt, back from school and without a job, gravitated back there and to a best friend who dodged cops while selling crack.

When that friend asked Hunt to stash drugs for him while he was out of town, he did so. But so many people came looking for drugs as he hung out on the corner, that he got the stash and sold them. More than $400 worth of crack in a matter of minutes.

"I was the last one to even consider it," he said of his decision to sell drugs.

The money put him on a path. The path would put him in jail.

"I still had hustle," Hunt said. "I still had work ethic. I always did things right, but I didn't always do the right thing."

The crack epidemic was filling his pockets and allowing him to wear a different fur for every day of the week.

"I would buy everybody sneakers," he said.

Soon, he was buying cocaine on his own, and cooking it into rocks of crack, which multiplied his investment.

There were $50,000 cars. But it also felt good to put money in his mother's hands.

His mother didn't condone it, but she took it anyway.

It was complicated, Hunt explained.

"I think my mom had needed help for so long," he said.

After being the last of his friends to sell drugs, he was soon the largest drug dealer in the county.

Something hadn't felt right.

Hunt took different routes home.

He studied the cars in the parking lot of the condo units so he would know if any didn't belong there.

The drug game has a shelf life, and Hunt wanted to get out while he was aheadas in alive and not in jail.

He had rented space at a local mall where he sold retro jerseys, then going for $350 each, and popular ball caps.

It was hugely successful. More than that, though, it was legitimate. A way out.

But it was too late. By then, police in Mount Laurel, N.J., had him in their sights.

The front page of the local newspaper detailing how a drug bust called Operation Summer Heat ensnared Lynch and 12 others.

Hunt had just paid $100,000 for a stash of cocaine. But as he started cooking it to make crack cocaine, it was a bad batch and he had to stop.

About 20 minutes later, police surrounded him as he drove away from his home. His arrest in September 2003 marked the end of an 18-month investigation.

"One day, you are eating lobster and shrimp, and the next day they're pushing something you don't recognize through a slot," he said.

"Operation Summer Heat" as police called it, would catch 12 in what was an $8.3 million drug-trafficking operation. The local newspaper ran a flow chart of everyone involved. At the top was 27-year-old Hunts mugshot.

"The moment they told me to freeze and put my hands up, was like a video game finally ending," Hunt said. "Game over."

From the county jail, using a free postcard and stamp affixed to it, Hunt promised his mother he would change his life.

"What I wanted to do but didn't have the will to do," Hunt said of dealing drugs, "God came in and put a stop to it."

He had written the judge before sentencing, calling the day a "gift " and a chance at redemption.

"I went to work on myself, Hunt recalled. "I said, This is not who I was meant to be.'"

He would be forced to do what he couldn't do himself.

"What I wanted to do but didn't have the will to do, God came in and put a stop to it and said you are going to be used in a different way."

During his 18 months in the county jail, he devoured books on self-development and spirituality.

He had barely arrived in prison when he was summoned from the prison yard. Guards said they found drugs in his locker. Hunt said they werent his.

Still, Hunt was sent to solitary confinement and would stay there a year.

Hunt wrote to the governor and anybody else in authority who he thought might have listened. He figured it might have been someone setting him up or simply someone using his locker to hide contraband.

He didn't know it at the time, but the transfer to a higher security prison came with perks not available where he had been housed.

It was there he would earn finance and fitness certifications through correspondence courses.

"The thing about how God works, is, even though it was a worse prison, that's where I got all my certifications," he said. "I did exactly what the letter (to the judge) said."

It wasnt just a way to pass the time. Hunt was working on a future.

Nothing could replace those years lost from age 27 to 37. But at least when Hunt left prison in2013,he had a marketable skill.

And other changes were underway.

He had written to someone he had previously dated from his neighborhood. She responded, but then stopped writing back for nearly a year.

Then Hunt was busy working as a trainer at an LA Fitness franchise on work release with all his certifications, he was hired on the spot while living in a halfway house. Hunt quickly became one of the more popular trainers, who didnt mind getting in your face to get results. When needed, his bluntness could be tempered with compassion.

When he next heard from the woman who had been on his mind, she was now a police officer. She had leftNew Jersey with her two young daughters for a better life. That better life would include accepting a reformed Hunt as a life partner.

He married the future Wendy Hunt while sneaking away during a break while on work release.

Hunt (back center) watches as Marlowe Wood stretches a band during an early morning workout at AWOL Fitness.

When Hunt was released from the halfway house, he followed her to Greensboro, finding a job at the former Rush fitness center on Battleground Avenue.

He focused on being a husband to Wendy and a dad to his new wife's children.

"I have to give my wife a return on her investment," he explained. "She had a lot to lose, trusting me and my vision. That was all faith. That was all vision. That was all heart."

At Rush, clients gravitated to Hunt because he got results.

He made it a point to meet three new people a day by giving away a free session or helping someone in the gym learn how to use a machine. The idea was to network and increase his potential client list.

One of those people Hunt had made a point to meet told him about a building that had become available. It would make a great place for a gym. There was indoor and outdoor space for an obstacle course and exercises that require pushing tires in the dirt.

WFMY anchor Tracey McCain was referred by a friend after a stubborn battle to get rid of the 70 pounds she gained during her first pregnancy. She recalled how she would spend the first few minutes in AWOL chatting with people as she made her way to the bowel of the building.

"He said to me, 'If you put more energy into your workouts than your conversations then you would have your transformation," McCain said. "I didn't like him in that moment."

But he uses obstacles in working out to empower people to take risks. McCain had put off a children's book for years. She's just finished with writing it.

"All of a sudden, it's likethisis not impossible," McCain said. "So maybethat'spossible."

Hunt coaches Allen Little during a recent morning atAWOL Fitness, a place for serious gym rats and for the unfit to get serious.

At AWOL, being a local celebrity, pastor or judge which Hunt counts among his clients won't protect you from a tongue lashing.

"There's no comfort in the growth zone, and no growth in the comfort zone," is one of many Hunt matras.

Among those drawn to AWOL which stands for A Way Of Life was Ken Canion, a former N.C. A&T football player and past Biggest Loser contestant. When he darkened AWOL's doors, Canion had fallen into a rut. His father had gotten sick and Canion got burned out.

"I just wanted to come to a place where it was different," Canion said. "Where I didnt have to lead anything. I wanted to follow instructions and do what Im told."

After Canion became familiar with Hunts story, he told him to share it.

"I said, 'I think you have a message that the world needs to hear,'" Canion recalled. "The reason why youre effective ... is because most people walk around and theyre masquerading."

They want to pull off their masks, he said, but they're afraid.

"But whats going to help you touch the lives you touch is because you are not afraid to take off your mask," Canion told him. "You are not afraid to say, 'Heres where I screwed up."

Some would call him reformed. Thats a word he hates. He preferstransformed.

These days, Hunt talks to middle school and high school students about the "traps" that lead to prison.

He's usually not in a suit and tie when he shows up.

"I just make sure I have the newest Jordans on," he said.

You don't get a body like Chris Hemsworth's without putting in the work, and the he makes no excuses when it comes to finding the time and effort for his fitness. "Calculate how many minutes of the day you spend scrolling on your phone at useless feeds," he told Men's Health earlier this year. "Hours, right? So you cant find 20 minutes a day? If you cant find that 20 minutes, you have no one to blame but yourself."

And that philosophy applies even when the equipment around you isn't exactly what you're used to as one of the most jacked superhero stars on the planet. The Australian actor just live-streamed his workout on his Instagram Story, demonstrating a series of moves from his fitness and wellness app, Centr.

"We're in Tokyo, in I think it's the world's smallest gym," he said. "But we make use of what we've got."

"Grow! Grow! Grow!" He chanted to his biceps while doing a set on the arm pull machine, before switching to pushups, then working his core with a series of medicine ball exercises.

"Realistically, theres a very low chance any of us will achieve the same body as Thor or any beefcake movie superhero, but there are small changes you can make in your life to be more like him," writes Esquire's Jamie Carson, who ate and trained like Hemsworth for a week, basing his regime on how the movie prepared for his role in the Thor and Marvel movies. "You dont need a superpower. Just the willpower," he added. "And chicken. Lots and lots of chicken."

5 rounds for time

Most swimming pools are25 mlong,competitive pools are 50 m long. 200m should be 4 rounds front and back in the pool. It is good to have some sort of a mat under yourself while doing the sit ups since the bank is not as smooth as a regular gym floor and you cant wear as many clothes to protect your skin. The mat is helpful for the burpees too.

10 rounds for time

Swim one round, front and back. Get up from the pool is asimilar technique to the muscle up. Get up 10 times and jump back into the pool, it gets straining quick. Try using your arms more before putting the leg on the bank.

The duck walkis often forgotten. Go down to a deep squat position and keep your knees to the outside. Walk by the pool to the other side in that position without lifting your behind over the knees.

Boot strapperis a really fun workout that kills your legs. Again go to a deep squat, put your knuckles on the floor and keep them there the whole time. Straighten your legs with your back as straight as you can. Keep bending and straightening your legs for 40 reps.

Heel touchesare a good core workout. Lie on your back, bend the knees and keep the feet together. Lift your shoulder blades from the ground and sway side to side to touch each heel.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin to function properly, or the body's cells don't react to insulin, and because of the bodys poor insulin production, blood sugar levels in the body keep rising. Over time, if left untreated, rising blood sugar levels can pose life-threatening health risks, such as heart disease and stroke, so it is important to regulate blood sugar levels.

Modifying your diet plays an essential in managing blood sugar levels as certain foods have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and slow the rate of absorption of food into the bloodstream - a mechanism that helps to control blood sugar spikes after meals.

Numerous studies suggest cinnamon, an aromatic spice that is used in a wide variety of cuisines, boasts blood-sugar-lowering properties so adding it to your meals can help to control blood sugar.

Research investigating the effects of of cinnamon on blood sugar has shown that cinnamon has been shown to decrease the amount of glucose that enters your bloodstream after a meal, reducing the risk of blood sugar spikes.

Glucose is a simple sugar that builds up in your bloodstream and is the primary cause of high blood sugar levels.

READ MORE:Type 2 diabetes: The plant extract proven to lower blood sugar leve

Cinnamon does this by interfering with numerous digestive enzymes, which slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in your digestive tract.

When people eat a food containing carbohydrates, the digestive system breaks down the digestible ones into sugar, which enters the bloodstream, so slowing down the time it takes for carbs to be absorbed in the bloodstream can help to manage blood sugar levels.

In addition, research has also shown that a compound in cinnamon can act on cells by mimicking insulin.

This greatly improves glucose uptake by your cells, though it acts much slower than insulin itself.

DON'T MISSType 2 diabetes: Add this fruit to your breakfast to lower blood sugar levelsTIPS]Type 2 diabetes: Add this seed to your diet to lower your blood sugar[TIPS]Type 2 diabetes: Consuming this drink first thing in the morning helps lower blood sugar[TIPS]

Mounting evidence suggests cinnamons impact on blood sugar levels is significant, showing that it can lower fasting blood sugar levels by 1029 percent.

A study reported in the Agricultural Research Magazine found that consuming just one gram of cinnamon per day can increase insulin sensitivity and help manage or reverse type 2 diabetes.

In addition, results from a a clinical study published in the Diabetes Care journal, found that a daily intake of one, three or six grams reduce serum glucose, triglyceride, LDL or bad cholesterol and total cholesterol after 40 days among 60 middle-aged diabetics.

Triglyceride and cholesterol are types of molecules found in your blood and high levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Sticking to a low carb diet is a surefire way to control blood sugar levels as foods high in carbohydrate are broken down quickly by your body and cause a rapid increase in blood glucose.

One way to distinguish between foods that are high in carb and those that are low in carb is to use the the glycaemic index (GI).

As the NHS explains, the glycaemic index (GI) is a rating system for foods containing carbohydrates which shows how quickly each food affects your blood sugar (glucose) level when that food is eaten on its own.

High GI foods include:

Low or medium GI foods, on the other hand, are broken down more slowly and cause a gradual rise in blood sugar levels over time.

These include:

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Jamal Adams and the New York Jets heard all the rowdy Raiders fans during pregame warmups, booing them and acting as if they were in Oakland.

Then the Jets silenced them quickly with a dominant home victory.

Sam Darnold threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, leading the Jets past the Raiders 34-3 on Sunday for their first three-game winning streak in over two years.

Im not going to lie to you, when we came on to the field, we felt disrespected, Adams said. We got booed in our own home stadium by the Oakland fans. We came back into this locker room and it was a hell of a talk.

Adams wouldnt divulge what was said, but the playmaking safety acknowledged he sparked it off.

Whatever was said, it worked.

Brian Poole returned an interception 15 yards for a TDand the rest of the defense made things miserable for Derek Carr, who was pulled by coach Jon Gruden with just under two minutes left in the third quarter.

The Raiders (6-5) came into a rain-soaked MetLife Stadium on a three-game winning streak with an eye on a possible AFC West first-place showdown at Kansas City next week. Instead, they got outplayed by a suddenly resurgent Jets (4-7) team that pulled away in the second half.

We got our butts kicked, Carr said. Theres no other way around that. They got after us from start to finish. Hopefully, its an eye opener.

Darnold was 20 of 29 for 315 yards the fourth 300-yard game of his career with TDs to Robby Anderson and Ryan Griffin in another efficient outing that helped New York to its first three-game winning streak since Weeks 3-5 of the 2017 season. The Jets didnt punt until the 2-minute mark of the third quarter.

Coach Adam Gase took Darnold out in the closing minutes and had backup David Fales finish.

And all those boisterous Raiders fans? Most were gone by then.

I dont want to sound very arrogant or too cocky, but I think they came in a little too happy, Adams said of Raiders fans. I think they thought it was going to be an easy game.

New York took a 13-3 lead into halftime and came out quickly in the second half.

On the Jets third play of the third quarter, Braxton Berrios took a short pass from Darnold on a slant andzipped down the field for 69 yardsbefore being pushed out of bounds at the 1. Darnold found a wide-open Ryan Griffin for a touchdown on the next play.

Griffin, signed to a three-year contract extension Saturday night, has a career-high five touchdown catches this season.

The Jets No. 1-ranked run defense then came up big on Oaklands first possession of the second half, stuffing Alec Ingold for no gain on fourth-and-1 from the Raiders 39.

New York took over andused some razzle-dazzle,Darnold handing off to Bilal Powell, who flipped it to Jamison Crowder who then tossed it back to the Jets quarterback. Darnold then threw to Anderson, who reached up for a 30-yard gain. Three plays later, Darnold connected with Anderson again for a 1-yard touchdown.

On the Raiders next possession, Carrs first-down pass was deflected by Neville Hewitt and landed in Pooles hands. The Jets cornerback ran it in from 15 yards, giving New York a 34-3 lead.

Carr lasted one more series before being pulled for Mike Glennon. Carr finished 15 of 27 for 127 yards with the pick-6.

Rookie Josh Jacobs, fourth in the NFL in rushing, was held to 34 on 10 carries. The Jets came in allowing a league-low 79.1 yards rushing, and gave up 68 to Oakland.

You ever been on a boat thats sinking? Gruden asked. Its not happy. Its not pleasant. Its adversity. Its football. Youve got to respond to adversity. We didnt do a good enough job as coaches rallying our troops today.

QUESTIONABLE CALLS

Trailing 3-0 after Daniel Carlsons 48-yard field goal, the Jets appeared to score a touchdown on their opening drive for a team-record fifth straight game. But Darnolds 8-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas was wiped away by a questionable penalty when officials called Daniel Brown for offensive pass interference after a video review. New York settled for a tying 24-yard field goal by Sam Ficken.

The Jets then benefited from what appeared to be another shaky call on their next drive. Darnold was sacked by Maxx Crosby from the 9, but Maurice Hurst was called for roughing the passer; officials ruled he dived on the pile late. Instead of a huge loss of yardage and down, it put the ball at the Raiders 4. Darnold faked the handoff to LeVeon Bell, then kept the ball, ran up the middle andtrucked through D.J. Swearinger for a 4-yard touchdownthat gave New York a 10-3 lead early in the second quarter.

I had someone in my way at the goal line, Darnold said, and I just did what I could to get into the end zone.

CARR STALLS

Carr fell to 2-9 in his career in games that started with the temperature below 50 degrees.

The temperature at kickoff at the Meadowlands was 43 degrees.

INJURIES

Raiders: Rookie WR Hunter Renfrow injured his ribs in the third quarter and didnt return.

Jets: Rookie RT Chuma Edoga will have an MRI on Monday after he left early in the second quarter with an injured left knee. He was helped off the field without putting any weight on the leg and didnt return.

UP NEXT

Raiders: stay on the road to face AFC West-rival Kansas City next Sunday.

Jets: take on the Bengals at Cincinnati next Sunday.
