Eddie Hall can deadlift 1100 lbs. A typical reasonably healthy untrained guy can easily deadlift more than 25% of that (275 lbs.) so Eddie has at most 4 times normal lift, or double normal ST. Realistically, I thi11nk a ST 10 normie could go to 300 lbs. without much trouble, which pulls Eddie down to 3.67 times normal lift or ST 19.
But that assumes that Eddie has no Lifting skill! As one of the greatest weightlifters in the world he should of course have it at very high levels. A mere MoS of 6 allows for 30% extra lift, bringing required ST down to 17.
Using Extra Effort, Eddie could be getting 50% more lifting power (ST 16) easily, and possibly as much as 100% extra (ST 14). This suggests that his true (lifting) ST is probably around 15 with a Lifting skill in the high teens (allowing rolls at -6 to succeed somewhat reliably). This is roughly consistent with a mass-based ST calculation (which would give him ST 14) plus the Special Exercises perk granting access to +1 Lifting ST.
This seems to be about what I would expect when comparing him to the animals in the basic set. He might be able to match a chimp or black bear, would struggle to restrain a donkey or large boar, and stand no chance against a gorilla, brown bear, horse, etc.
