@@troll-fx2zc It's the coach's fault. The guy helping was doing the resetting after 1 just like the previous lifts and he is not in the core team so can't be at fault. The coach has bad communication and made multiple mistakes. He didn't prep the team properly. He then shouted "last one" before the lift which easily could be taken as one rep. Then panicked and shouted to release the bar in an unsafe manner which spooked both thor and the helper. Thor had to ask for the helper to reset. 100% on the coach
@@troll-fx2zc ya! And he is doing his job, putting the safety on the monolift, he then is told Thor was going for more, but seems like nobody told him so
Mitch Hooper put out a video recently presenting the case that the year you won literally everything, you were probably the strongest person in history. He's not wrong.
@larrytate1657 Quite possibly, but it's debatable. I don't think he'd won 5 WSM titles if IFSA hadn't been around during his streak. Much of his top competition was over there competing instead of at World's. Big Z takes the title of the GOAT in the sport of Strongman. He's by far the most decorated.
Word! Have been following this man for years, he is nice to people, funny, and have wisdom, a good father and family man, inspiring to everyone around him. Most of all real, no bullshit and pretending. Human
Thor, my father, grandfather and you are the three greatest men I have ever known. You inspire me like no other to be great and I followed my passion of stonelifting after seeing you. I know that you can and will win Strongest Man on Earth. Planning to come to Scotland to see you win Rogue Invitational as well. All the best in two weeks, show the world who the King is!
Great job Thor! Brian, Thor and Kaz are my all time favorite strongmen. I love the fact that Brian always makes the machines and implements interesting and different... some people don't like implements but I think they forget that strongman and powerlifting are two different sports. I love the old cartoonish looking barbells, dumbells, axles and squat nachines.... and Thor is really good at lifting those big implements.
Watching and saw that 365kg look so easy, was thinking how the hell can hafthor miss 400kg it’s not possibe, doesn’t make sense 🤔 and then the communication issue 😅 Could have done many reps at 400kg, insane Blessing in disguise what happened Would have easily done those reps
You can see what long way Hafthor has come to not go for another rep after that miss com. Hafthor 6 years ago would go for another one like a madman risking whole tournament start, but now big man is more composed and can see bigger picture.
More importantly the 400 KG you squatted this time went faster then the 400kg you did a couple of weeks ago...noticeably faster, no doubt it looked like you could have performed 3x 400kg...great work Thor and coach Seb
Another great video with Sebastian. No need to keep explaining the misunderstanding about your reps brother. I appreciate that you stuck with what you had in your own mind about what you wanted to do. Sebastian is a great coach who is smart enough to listen to his clients. Plus your one - 400kg. rep was awesome (you could have done a few more no problem) Do not push it to much before the SMOE show (please God NO injuries). I also love how Sebastian shared personal details about Brian and how he might be building said squat implement. I also like you two went back and forth about all the minutia of the contest. The thought you both are putting into the individual events and how Brian is building the contest is super smart and just might make the difference between winning and not winning. Forget the podium brother Hathor, you can win this and show the world (especially with that best of best line-up) who the King is period!
Will you attempt it again maybe next week Hafthor? Always rooting for you and I'm watching SMOE because of you! Looking forward to see you win the squat in style!
Sebastian seems like a cool guy! I remember the old videos where he tried to eat Thor's day of eating, just some good people here so thats cool to see and share!
Thor, you are a great human. Most top level individuals would have had a fit over something like that. You handle yourself in training like a gentleman. You compete like a professional. You sir are above reproach. Semper Fi Sir.
As the viewer we can't see what they did or didn't communicate before that top set, but it's great to know it was just an honest misshap that could have been avoided. Looking strong and healthy Thor 💪💪
Huge respect for Thor. true champions respect those around them and acknowledge sometimes things go wrong and you gotta roll with it. Awesome job and great lesson for kids to learn from.
If it happened to me, I would have been infuriated, but the way Hafthor stayed calm and composed, and at the end taking accountability when it was not a strength issue, but a communication failure is truly admirable. I guess that's why I'm just me and Hafthor is Hafthor. Thank you Sir for teaching me a valuable lesson. 400 triple would have been the cherry on top but 325 for 8 *(paused)* was equally impressive. It was very well executed and probably equivalent to 20 more kilo's without the incorporation of a pause. Good old rear static holds have done wonders to Hafthor over all these years and it will definitely come into play at the power medley. Koma svo King Hafthor!! It is still yours, you got this! 💪🏻👑❤️
I would have definitely been ticked off if I were in his place. Also Thor has chilled out a lot. 2017-2020 Thor would've had a very different reaction lol
Wait a few weeks when the tren goes up! Haha. All jokes aside it's not like the 400*3 would have made him that much stronger for what he has to do in comp. He's already dialed in. In fact he saved some fatigue so maybe it was a blessing in disguise. That Maddox misload however...
Super nice guy, this is my gym in red deer IRON CITY! he made me look like a boy in the photo with him, I Am 5.11, 230 pounds...😂 Shout out to Rob owner of the gym for making this happen!
I used to fall asleep with my arm out straight over the edge of the bed and hyper extend my elbow, I now sleep with my hand tucked inside the hem of the pillow and it holds my arm in place nicely. Give that a try

Beast Mode Power EXTREME Looks alm like FAKE PLATES! Þegar það er hraðspólað yfir 325 kg af því 8 reps og það eftir 400 kg sem var eins og hrat, vá, þú ert ROSALEGUR!! 👑🔥
To be strong is cool, but showing grace and understanding when the moment could get the best of you? That's real strength. Thor is going to win SMOE no doubt.
I know it's strongman and not powerlifting, but I worry about Thor's squat depth still. The strength is obviously there and being 205cm doesn't help, but I don't want to see him lose reps due to depth.
Don't worry a bit about that. They all are communicated about the depth. This is a Strongman competition. Not a Powerlifting meet. Depth will not be a problem on 18th August at SMOE day 2.
You do hook grip when training grip strength with a bar? My grip strength has gone to the roof while getting used to a hook grip. 2days back I made easy 5x RDLs with hook grip no straps and 220kg on the bar.
Vaut mieux penser sécurité . Il y a des jours on se sent bien et ça passe tout seul, quand on le sent pas vaut mieux sagement s'arrêter que risquer la blessure..
Thor, you handled that unfortunate situation with the utmost amount of grace. Massive respect to you sir.
He needs to get rid of that bloke

Let's not overuse the word grace, he was dignified yes but gracefulness is something different.

Mitch knows what he is talking about. Peak Hafthor truly is the strongest man ever.
Possibly in all round strength. But there is two guys that he has to surpass. Paul Anderson and possibly Angus MacAskill. But top three absolutlelly.
Yup for a orm type strength, then for longevity and well rounded consistency in the strong man game Mariuz Pudjinowski is king.
I take that was 2018? It is generally the consensus however that Thor was at his strongest(statically) at 2020, where he didn’t win as much as 2018
@larrytate1657 Quite possibly, but it's debatable. I don't think he'd won 5 WSM titles if IFSA hadn't been around during his streak.

Thor responded to the situation well, a lot more mellow nowadays. And still a beast, one of the most insane 400kg squats ever performed
Thor is a genuinely awesome human being - there’s more in life than being physically strong and he has mastered that as well.❤Welcome again to 🇨🇦

Awsesome Thor...exremely humbling to hear you speak of not completing your 3xreps not blaming or being troubled by it...keep on pumping!!!
Watching and saw that 365kg look so easy, was thinking how the hell can hafthor miss 400kg it’s not possibe, doesn’t make sense 🤔 and then the communication issue 😅
Could have done many reps at 400kg, insane
Blessing in disguise what happened
Would have easily done those reps
İ think same like you before watching video
He didn't want to push too much
That guy needs to be fired
We love you Hafthor! Greetings from Sweden!
Still along for the ride! Can't wait to see you compete at SMOE! LET'S GO!!!
Thor you have such a positive outlook on life. Totally awesome 👌🏽
Man that miscomm could have been seriously dangerous. Handled it like a champ

Thor is the Greatest! Proud of you big brother! Let's do it!
Sebastian seems like a cool guy! I remember the old videos where he tried to eat Thor's day of eating, just some good people here so thats cool to see and share!
Big Thor, you are our old timers hope. Strong as fuck right now! Bring home the title brother!
Great squat session in my opinion. 325 paused for 8 is nuts!! LFG King!
Whew. It's incredible to not freak our under that weight in that situation. Looking forward to seeing the power on display!
Looking Strong as F$#K! Your the reason I bought tickets to SMOE! God speed brother can’t wait to see you crush it
Incredible mindset, holy hell, RESPECT!
SMOE WINNER FOR SURE 💪🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻
He still has the big weakness with his pressing... but otherwise he will dominate!
Thor, you are a great human. Most top level individuals would have had a fit over something like that. You handle yourself in training like a gentleman. You compete like a professional. You sir are above reproach. Semper Fi Sir.
Serious squat workout! You handled the mix up on the 400 kg very well. Looking forward to SMOE.
320 for 8 pause reps after a 365 and a 400 kg , phenomenal strength 👊
325
Insane
I saw Big Z 329 x 15. But not regular squat.
Dude is still able to shake his head and say nonono with 400 kg on his shoulders. What a freaking beast
What an impressive personality man! Your attitude is genuinely kind
As the viewer we can't see what they did or didn't communicate before that top set, but it's great to know it was just an honest misshap that could have been avoided. Looking strong and healthy Thor 💪💪
Thor's drop sets are awesome!
716 for 8 reps with a pause is nuts hahahaha damn
Sir Hafthor, you are a gentleman and a class act!
Not a fail, just a minor miscommunication (that i'm glad went well). nicely handled.
Crazy strong!
Huge respect for Thor. true champions respect those around them and acknowledge sometimes things go wrong and you gotta roll with it. Awesome job and great lesson for kids to learn from.
Excellent Thor phenomenal job
Wasn't Thors fault, that dude pulled the hooks in early and Thor had no choice but to just put the weight down.
Amazing backdown work 325 kg for eight reps!!
Was awesome seeing you at Iron City man, hope you’ll be back again soon, go Iron City Red Deer
Good squat looked strong and in control!

That 400 single was like butter 🧈 👌
most humans would assume 400kg is for 1 rep lol, I don't blame the guy for jumping the gun.
PS: to the editor, please don't fast forward the lifts, :)
Looking great, Thor!!
Force à toi depuis la France 🇫🇷
Imagine squatting 400kg and saying it’s a fail? Thor is different!!
Leader attitude.
The title is technically correct but only in the most abstract way...
You got this thor! I believe in you!
Awesome attempt.. stay healthy.. most important thing.
You have very good chances of winning SMOE, Thor. Show everyone!
The biggest competition is definitely Mitch Hooper
This man is the most worthy to carry the name - Thor
You are doing very well Hafthor.
Mistakes means you're working. And mistakes are the best teachers. If you're not.making mistakes you're not growing
Train safe, can't wait to see you compete soon.
SMOE 1st place here we go!
Thankful that this wasn't a injury. Really want to see thor at the Shaw at his best
Can you do a video on how ypu prepare for a max lift? Food, warm up etc?😃
Hope you enjoyed your stay in Red Deer. Next time I will try and help out. I won’t rack the mono to early ;)

I used to fail 400kg squats too but then I remembered that I just needed to stand up and try again
Love the shirt Bossman, is the design based on anything? 🙃
my champ!!!
Off course they happen , just keep up man!
That’s a clickbait title, you didn’t fail, failure would have been getting crushed by the weight
400kg felt light, holy shit hahha
Was expecting an actual failed squat rather than just a rerack miscommunication.
that 325 for 8 paused, was insane.
Is Thor favourite for the squat?
Can’t wait for the clickbait lifting vault video
“Thor fails 400kg”
Hahahaha
that was his coaches mistake no? fk that's no joke to have shit like this happening while you have 400kg on your shoulders
Get rid of that team, Thor. Those guys are gonna screw up your whole training
Shoulder pain following sleeping with my arm up has become a huge issue for me, can't find a way to keep myself from doing it during sleep..

Still 400kg for one rep is still very good. Good to see you motivated and ready! 💪⚡️👊
You think so? Still very good, ya? I am sure Thor will be relieved when he reads this.
You are still super strong
I did squats today too🎉
It's okay big boy i didn't make it either

This was parallel my dude. Don't ever judge depth from the front, ever. Especially with leggy athletes.
@@Nirsterkurstrongman depth is parallel, judges are as strict as PL judges. Stop with the "PL is a sport strongman is a circus trick" vibes

👍👍👍💪💪💪
Lost bag and got wrong reps, what else....??
🏴🏋️🏋️🏋️🏴
Interesting choice of colors on that T shirt
I'm wondering which strongman can squat 320 Kg x 8 paused at this day. Probably only Mitch Hooper, Hickx, Thompson and maybe 2-3 more
This is 325 (717) bro, not 320 (705).
Training for strength is interesting. Low reps with 10 minutes rest. So different than hypertrophy training
Squats are you to win
💪💪💪
Thor do you guys do deload?
Every second week is a lighter week. That's how Oreb likes to manage Thors fatigue. No real buildup, no real deload
yeah 3 reps was there %100
