I don't think Eddie Hall is a good example of being able to "out-train a bad diet". He eats and trains for one very specific purpose - to get stronger. His physique reflects that. He's pretty fat, don't let his visible abs fool you.

I've met him, when he was 3 times UK strongest man before winning WSM. He most definitely was not fit for daily life but was in good shape for strongman.
By saying "out-train a bad diet" I mean he needs his reputed 12k calories to build and repair his muscle mass (obviously some went to fat as well). The people on "America's Fattest People" (or whatever) don't need 12k calories a day and get (the bad kind of) huge as a result.
