Thor's 501kg deadlift
Iron Biby's axel press
I think you’re missing the key concept that reactions work best when the video hasn’t been seen already by the reactor. It’s not a must mind you. But it’s missing a key element.
As for what’s next, Kaz and the rest holding red wine on a claymore.
Thors 501 deadlift
My 200kg deadlift. The boys are gonna love it.
If I’m not mistaken, on that day, nobody pulled more than 465kg. And it was a tough lift. Then Eddie comes in and speed reps it, breaks his own record, then goes above and beyond and pulls 500kg with even more in the tank. That was absolutely insane. One of the greatest if not the greatest strongman to ever live!
I think Bennie pulled the 465 pretty easily too, but not as easily as Eddie. Jerry definitely had more than 465 in him too, but not 500.
Jerry Bennie and Eddie pulled 465 almost effortlessly but jerry and Bennie still failed the 500 that shows how strong you have to be in order to do such a feat
Jerry pulled 465 fast too, and on top of that he wasn’t wearing a deadlift suit either.
Greatest strongman ever? Incredible feat but come on mate. Not even top 3 to ever do it.
Because 500kg was the next weight after 465kg. Other athletes were suggesting 480kg but the competition was tailor made for Eddie so they put 500kg. Jerry also said in an interview that Eddie rested almost 30 mins for that lift and Benny and Jerry were forced to wait for almost 45mins for their lifts in which they were already cooled down. The rule was always 15 mins rest but since it was tailor made for Eddie, they don't care about others that much.
“That’s how world records should be done… You pull it off, and then you die.” -Evan Singleton
Roger Bannister broke the 4min/mile record. Nobody mentions the 2nd man to run under 4 minutes for the mile.
Who was the 3rd man the moon?
World records come and go. It's all about milestones, and Eddie reached a milestone first. That's forever.
Eddies 500kg in strongman and Andy Boltons 1000lb in a powerlifting meet are the two greatest and iconic feats in strength history. Both by Englishmen 😂🏴
But then you got Mark Felix who is one of Britain's best too and he's 56 years old and still active!!
@@macthecook4484 mate mark Felix is a legend! Its genuinely unreal that a man of that age can be competitive at that level! Mind blowing
I get chills every time I see him set up for the lift. The intensity and energy he had to summon in that moment is unfathomable. If you lift, you can appreciate the intensity of that moment.
That's the greatest lift I've ever watched in my life. Unbelievable Eddie.
And a wee bit of shrug. . 🔥🔥🔥
I never noticed before how the bar got stuck on his shorts. I wonder if it would have been even smoother had that not happened. What a Beast indeed!
this man is the definition of no limit
Well this was pretty close to his limits tho. He almost died doing this😂
Like they said, groundbreaking lift.
Beast is for a reason simply the strongest man ever lived never to be beaten. He is massive when u stand next to him
He held that and looked at everyone there before dropping it
First and only man to ever do it.
It's honestly kind of sad the way this channel shills for a brand instead of the sport.
Definitely 1 for the history books Eddie's determination would be worth a fortune if you could bottle it
This is nice for an AVC.
I can't imagine the back strength needed, besides legs and hips. If I added another 35 kg to my maximum, then managed it with mind tricks, I'm sure bones would be broken.
Eddie Hall is a real giant beast to ever Walk the face of the earth!!!
Everyone: greatest lift in history
Evan Singleton: bring back fat eddie
It’s 250 on each 5 fingers what a animal
With how much pressure that was built up inside him, I’m honestly surprised Eddie didn’t just explode
It must’ve been so difficult just to live at this size.
O que é que os caras cheiram antes de levantar?
Eddie is the GOAT, makes you wonder how much more he could have lifted someone should have added 10kg and not told him haha.
"MY OPINION" I've watched alot of eddies video's, I watched the video where he talks about the lift and the aftermath of it. He explains that he was at a physical limit and couldn't push his body anyfurther. So instead of training physically he trained mentally, and created this scenario in his head that was AWFUL the worst KIND of TERRIBLE. Eddie then convinced him self that it would come true if he "failed" to lift that 500kg. He even says it himself he spent hours in the bathroom just mentally terrifying himself to the point it was literally life or death "IN HIS MIND". I honestly think they could have thrown another 15 to 30 KG's and the result would have been the same. (I don't think we'll ever know) he basically triggered the fight or flight instinct to give him access to "ALL 100%" of his strength the same way a 130lb woman, lifts a car off of her trapped child that she normally couldn't budge.
maybe max 12kg that, i feel like if he kept on training for dl for another 4 years, he could of maybe done a 535kg dl
How much weight eddie hall on the lift
Damn… I’m a pussy.
Change giants live to eddie live
Eddie had 510kg in him that day, i'm sure of it
seeing how fast he lifted it off the floor, yeah, could be. However I dont know if he would've survived 510, considering he was close to dying with 500; but that's because he kept it for much longer than he needed.
Almost as impressive as Thor's 501 😎
Go home lol
I will always stand by if Eddie had done 501 the way Thor did - out of Comp, at home gym, with his DAD weighing the plates yall would have called Eddie out as bs. He did it the right way as far as im concerned. And I agree with a lot my fave strongmen here, eddies lift was the moment in strength sport and proud as a fellow Brit. And that Eddie was first. Who remembers for years someone breaking the record by one kg compared to Eddie taking it up 34/35 kilo
@@jamesprynne1422 can any of the other strongmen pull 501 if their dad or wives weigh the plates? Who cares who weighed the plates? Magnus referred the lift and he's as strict as they come, not to mention his integrity is unquestionable. Thor not only pulled it way easier, but he also locked it out properly unlike Eddie (since you're nitpicking). Thor at his peak was a bit more impressive than Eddie IMO.
@@ariesprime6060 didn’t lock out properly? He held it needlessly for a few seconds after receiving the down signal hence the massive nose bleed and nearly dying. Held for a few seconds after getting the down signal which you only get for successfully locking out the lift.
And you’ve missed my point, and EVERYONE would have cared if Eddie had said I’m gonna lift 500 and my dads gonna weigh the plates. That would be like me being in a comp and being like oh but guys my dads the ref.
I’m sorry I agree with giants, Loz, Mitch, and graham, nobody cares about gym lifts, people care more for competition lifts.
For Eddie to successfully pull 500 in front of 10, 000 people is far more impressive than Thor’s home gym online feed for feats of strength.
@@ariesprime6060 and also like many people have said, breaking the record by 1kg was lame compared to Eddie upping by 34/35 kg.
And as Eddie says himself
Nobody cares about the second man to walk on the moon.
More impressed how good Hollands looks now. He was a big dude but alotnof fat too
It’s going to be a few years until someone breaks his record. That was such a phenomenal day.
Well, this record is kind of broken, with an asterisk.
@@glennjanot8128 not really. There are hundreds of people who break records in gyms or at their home and those don’t count. I like Thor a lot I really do but I’m just using common sense. If you’re not competing against someone or at a official competition. It’s not a record.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily Well, he did have an official referee with him, hence his record being seen as legitimate. However, he did it in the comfort of his own gym, surrounded by his hired Yes-men and without the pressure of having a live audience.
@@glennjanot8128 exactly and he did not do it while competing. When Eddie did it he was going up against the best dead lifters in the world. Even after he broke the record if anyone remembers there were still another person to go after him. What’s Thor dead does not even come close to it edited. He was not competing against anyone else.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily It’s a WR for lifting 500kg, not a WR for lifting 500kg in competition. As simple as that. Thor’s lift was objectively heavier and, therefore, he pulled the weight with more strength. People always find more excuses to discredit Thor’s lift when it was done in a single ply suit and in competition conditions whereas Eddie had as much rest as he wanted. 501 kg > 500 kg = Thor > Eddie. Simple math…
Boxing Eddie days? Eddie never boxed.
People still discredit this saying it wasn’t locked out, absolutely sad people with no achievements
Sucks because I genuinely think Thor could have done 510 but we’ll never know now
This video shows why haftor 501 doesn't mean shit to be honest.
This is why you need to prove yourself in competitions instead of homegym 🤡
It wasn't even in his home gym. If you check all the details about both lifts, there is no immediate difference.
he held it too long and that caused some problems...but hey it just adds to the badassery, I'm sure his wife about lost her mind, it's good he retired
Where's Thors reaction?
they did not want to show him crying for 30mins and how if he was there he would have done 600kg and how everyone was working against him lol.
That's alot of weight however you have to take into account how much he weighs. If he weighs over 400lbs then that's about 2.5 times bodyweight.Then take into account he's using straps and he hitches at the top to lockout the weight. I'm more impressed watching Lamar Gant, Ed Coan, Kurt Kowalski, Vince Anello, John Inzer, Dan Austin to name a few great deadlifters.
Strength doesn’t go up linearly with bodyweight though. That’s why there are formulas to calculate strength. For example Eddie Hall’s equipped deadlift of 1102lbs at 420lbs bodyweight actually has a higher wilks score than Ed Coan’s equipped deadlift of 901lbs at 220lbs bodyweight
The 500kg deadlift by Eddie was the greatest moment in Strongman history.
Big Z doing 4 reps in the austian log is a big contender for #1 too
In sports*
HHHHHmjHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHmjHHHHHHHHHH
Big Z's log, or Austrian Oak is more impressive.
Equally, Thor has lifted more and thus its a greater lift.
Rumour has it… he was actually hydrated that day.
Just death drained him
Nah, hydrated Eddie would have lifted the entire venue.
Favorite lift of all time! For multiple reasons. First, because he didn't break the record by a kilo or 2 like him and Benny had been doing back and forth for a couple years. He set a milestone goal no one thought was possible. Secondly, because he did it the first time he tried it! Yes, Thor pulled it easier, and I'm almost positive he could have done more, but that wasn't the first time he tried, and he add multiple years of training. Yes, Thor's lift was stronger, but to me, Eddie's was better.
Thor's lift was conveniently done at home gym and not in the heat of a competition like Eddie's. Thor's lift had no weight
@@SHUBHAM678741 😂😂😂😂 numpty, there was nothing ‘convenient’ about it. Thor was training to pull it in WUS Bahrain comp but the show was cancelled
@@joshbrooker5819 it is convenient, in a stadium with thousands of people that arena was probably hot as hell, you have less or more time to wait between lifts, and of course the tension of just being there. Whereas Thor was in an Air conditioned gym, was able to take as much rest time as he needed, and had access to any food or drinks needed.
@@Silky_boi Thor had a strict 15 minute rest period because it was live streamed on ESPN. It was literally released in the rule post before his lift. You all act like it was som random gym lift with no rules, it wasn’t. It was stricter than Eddie’s lift, factually.
He had half as much rest exactly as Eddie who rested for as much time as he needed, came out every half an hour to lift because he wasn’t part of the main competition so wasn’t constrained to lifting with the other competitors. He was allowed to lift when he liked. He also dictated the weight jumps and brought his own bar & platform. As per, like most Eddie fans, you’ve done zero research on the topic 🤦🏼♂️
Third: He managed to do that thanks to an amazing mental work, making him disconnect from reality to save his childrens from a car. His words, he said he tried this because until few months before the attempt he felt like he wasn't even nearly close to lift that weight. He literally gone in another dimension during the lift, that's crazy what our mind can unlimit us
That was great. I'd like to see more "strongman react" videos, please.
We got more!
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Thank you! We watch from Belize 🇧🇿
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN seeing guys who know what it takes to lift heavy talk about a lift like this really adds a lot to it. Definitely want to see more react videos from you
I wish someone had recorded the other strongmen's reactions to his 420kg warmup.
You have to realize that Eddie Hall beat the old record with 35 kg. That's like running 100m under 9 sec. Now that the mental barrier is gone more people will do it. But Eddie Hall will always be the first guy to do it. It's like the 4 minute mile.
In percent improvement, it rivals the 8.90m long jump from 1968 or Usain Bolt going 9.58 on his own 9.69 or when Michael Johnson went 19.32 on a WR of 19.68.
Or Karsten Warholm going 45.94 when the WR was 46.70!
It was actually 36 kg. The records from the year before was 464kg. They broke the record with multiple guys at 465kg and then Eddie broke it again with 500kg
Seeing Eddie's wife stood there with everyone cheering as she's so concerned for his well being is a prime example of how dangerous that lift could have been. Eddie is a machine.
Yeah he had a concussion and and internal bleeding from it. He said he lost his hearing in one ear for 2 weeks
@@doomeR_007 dudes is the beast
Just because the lift has been surpassed doesn’t detract from it. Fantastic milestone in strength. Thanks for posting.
This lift was never surpassed. Competition an home lifts are just different. Anyone who competes knows this .
@@maxiebojangles5823 I couldn’t agree more, I was just being diplomatic. I winder who will be first to 505kg?
Lmao it never was
@@alc4117 what's up Eddie puppet
@@samarthur1847 i honestly think that Makarov fella will eventually get it. As soon as he gets his lockout down. He can definitely get it going off the floor
This was what made me start following strongman. Definitely the greatest moment ever. It wasn't just the record, or even that he smashed it by such a large number. It's that he did what everyone thought was impossible. This was such a triumph of the human spirit.
At the end of the day a WR is a WR. We know Thor break the deadlift for 1KG and his effort were formidable. But you have to understand that Eddie in that day *already broke the WR Deadlift* pulling 465KG off the floor and a few minutes later he pulled the greatest lift in human history being already fatigue. Pulling +35KG on top of a WR you already broke the same night has never happened in ALL strength sports. This is the reason I believe most people credit Eddie Hall to still be the record holder and Deadlift King. Not even mentioning his physical disadvantage between Top 10 Strongmen stats he competed with. A true BEAST
No, we don't know Thor broke it. It wasn't done at a comp level. End of
@@JG-lw5uz there was no comp, it was cancelled because of COVID.
At the end of the day, Thor had Rogue weigh his plates, he had the most respected ref in to officiate, and it was all under competition *conditions*. The exact same thing applied to Shivlyakov breaking the masters deadlift record around the same time. No one disputes that lift because they don't have a vendetta like with this.
Speaking of competitions, Eddie's 'comp' was a farce set up entirely for him with his deadlift bar, his conditions, his weights picked by himself and Benny and Jerry there to make it look like a comp and not a one man show. He also did it in a multi-ply suit whereas Thor was single ply.
@@EVO6- you're clutching at so many straws showing you know absolutely nothing about Strongman.
@@EVO6- his Dad and yes men weighed the plates 💀😅
@@JG-lw5uz finally get over it and stop making a fool out of yourself. The record was broken by Thor and your opinion will not change that. Look at the lift and just enjoy it instead of talking it down.
Evan singleton is hilarious
yes. But I got the impression that he doesnt really like eddie a lot.
No matter how many times I see it…. Awesome
this is the best deadlift of all time. Literally get the chills every time I watch it
It's iconic, but Thor breaking the record was far smoother.
@@buikemm that doesn’t matter. It wasn’t in comp and he wasn’t the first to do it. Eddie’s will always be remembered as the 1st to ever do it
@@i_savagery Thor is the first to go above 500kg, emphasis on above.
We can still say Eddie has the in-competition record. But we can't take away the world record of Thor. That will be unjust. Thor did it in a smoother way too.
For all saying he did it in his backyard, all strongmen have tried the 500kg in their bedrooms too and none succeeded.
The son of Odin deserves his full respect.
Another one was Ernie Hachett Vs Bill Kazmaier at 1085 lbs back in the early 80's. It wasn't quite as deep of a DL as this one, but it was impressive to watch. Bill actually did the World's first 900 lbs DL in a powerlifting competition -- bare hands no assist RAW. He was thinking the same things in his day, as Eddie Hall thought in this era.
When I saw it I was legit worried for his life.
Me too. After he dropped it back down, he fell unconscious.
Love Gav's comment 'looks pretty fucked there' 🤣
This deadlift and Benny's 460 are goated
Bennis 460 was unweighed sadly
the raw deadlift from benny is just madness xD
This moment will always be number one. End of.
My favourite lift of all time ☺️.
Speed is key
Yes obviously you need strength, but Eddie followed Andy boltons principles. Speed and not overtraining will build an excellent deadlift
Eddies lift> Thors lift at his home gym
I get goosebumps everytime i watch this historic lift. Eddie Hall is a Legend.
Colin Bryce reaction: "here we gohablashebadayeahhh" 😏🤣
Maybe eating chicken wings?
What’s really wild is Eddie’s doctor told him to lose weight or he could die and he goes and deadlifts 500 kilos. Madlad
Captain Matthew Webb, Sir Roger Bannister, Sir Edmund Hillary, Eddie Hall.
Look its another giants live video about eddie hall..wow...
Thor goes on and does a 501kg with noone around but his own team.. .yep.. sure
*unpopular opinion.. Knees weren’t completely locked out.
Definitely an unpopular opinion since he literally held it up for multiple more seconds then he needed to, doesn't really matter after that bru
Thor after unofficially lifted 501kg but it wasn’t in competition!
The logo on the poster behind is same like when eddie lifts 500kg
damn terry 2.0 looks good
What makes Eddie's and Thor's so insane is that most people will never pull half of that. 200kg is a pretty strong pull for most people.
I can walk into my gym right now and not having done deadlifting in 2 yrs, I think I can do 100 kg.
200 kg would take me roughly a year of hard training to get near, but I might just get there (clean) in 18 months, considering I have work to attend.
So 200 kg is quite a feat yeah.
I've got two mates who live relatively lazy lifestyles and maybe train 1 day a month, if that. Both can walk in the gym no prep and pull 200kg 😂 but then I have another friend who trained 6 days a week, paid a coach for a year stuck to his plan and food prep and never got past 175kg. Truth is some people are just built different.
Even then, only a small % can deadlift that much weight
Bro, 100kg is a strong pull for 90% of people.
The bloke that knocked the shit and piss out of Eddy hall also beat his record right
Yawn. Always 1 prat with a smart mouth. Yeah thor allegedly beat the record in his own gym, not in competition in front of thousands of fans huge difference really, which is why Eddies lift in most people's view is still the "OFFICIAL" WR.
Wauw this is totally new to me, imagine if giants live posted this lift every 14th day for years……
Respect for doing that but when he trash talked Thor before fight saying he could deadlift 540 kg... he almost died there and Thor lifted 501 looking like he could do 510
I don't like his trash talk
excuse me but if you dont like trash talk then you should dislike thor because it's thor who started everything at WSM 2017.
It's mad to think that the only reasons Eddie did this was so he could finance his strongman career and win WSM.
fakethor bjornsons 501 was so petty
He could have done 510kg that day, and shut down deadlifts for probably 10 years ...
Yet. At some point the average Joe will remember him for losing to the mountain. RIP.
You still whining on chuckles.
React to Rauno’s masters record
And Luke Vs Oleksii at Europe’s, when Luke won and then when Oleksii won
It's like Travis Pastrana doing the first double backflip. No matter how many people do it after, he'll always be first. He was the one who broke that barrier and no one can ever take that away. Just like Eddie with this lift.
double backflip???? ok,. im searching it now, had no idea that was humanly possible :O
I'm sure this will be a civil comment section...
For me this and lasha snatching 225kg are the two greatest feats of strength of all time
Lasha’s 225kg was insane the guy snatching over 500lbs over his head in one motion literally blew me away. He looked like he had more in the tank too.
@jumbo I would say both. I can deadlift 500lbs he can push over that over his head. No amount of technique can put that over your head without the strength to support it
Eddie endet up in the hospital while Hafthor was seen on Twitch playing Counter Strike a mere two hours after his 501.
Lol, and?
Not only that.. 501 was never verified.. but his dad verified it, so it counts, right?
@@JG-lw5uz Did you see anyone weighing the bar or plates when Eddie did the 500kg?
@@EmilBBechGrip did you not see it was done at a competition level? Did you not see any of it being properly officiated by the GBOR?
@@JG-lw5uz Not verified? It's literally in the Guiness Book Of World Records, how much more verification do you want??
@@JG-lw5uz Sure but how is Thor's lift not "verified" when they actually showed the plates being weighed? What more would you have him do?
It was the greatest lift of all time💪
The ONLY man to ever lift 500kg in competition... The greatest lift in history bar none
What gets me is that 3 years after Thor (easily) lifted 501kg (apparently)he hasn't attempted anything heavier. Perhaps it's because we're not in lock down now and he has no excuse for having to do it in his own gym. A fact which always gets him angry when questioned about it.
Iconic Moment
Oldberg actually looks like Goldberg :D
The REAL deadlift World Record
He holds it for an extended period...
Anatoly can not clean here...
It's the Eddie Hall show......As usual......Been 6 years maybe time to move on.
Homeboy here goin to dark places. What does that even mean.
Of course records will always be broken (and it was), but there's no multiverse where anyone makes such a huge leap in deadlifting again.
I'm not sure how much farther that lift will go. Thor probably had a few kg left on his pull. No one has come close to the 500kg mark since. We will probably see 505kg bit it's going to take time.
It wasn’t broken. You telling me if I break Michael Phelps’ records in my swimming pool with my dad timing me that it’s a real world record? Give me a break. Brain Shaw himself said he’s lifted what would be considered world records while in training, but it’s not a competition. It doesn’t count unless its a real competition. I won’t beat Komen’s 3000m world record by running at the gym or at a park no matter how fast I do it. So stupid.
He popped all his blood vessels in his head and blood poured out of his nose and other orifices. Just shows the amount of pressure there was to lift this. He did serious damage to his body and took a long time to recover fully after this. Scary. But a wonderful achievement.
Lucas, have a look at Renaissance Periodisation. He explains the idea of regular breaks and de-load weeks to reduce the fatigue you’ve had a few times.
I’m mass-gaining too at the moment. Clean food is defo hard work…! For reference, I’ve put on 4.2lbs (just under 2kg) a month with a bodyfat percentage maintaining 14-14.5%
They gotta fit Kearney into everything lol I wonder why😂
I think a lot people miss the point of all of this when we get into the Thor vs. Eddie argument for deadlift supremacy.
By doing the 500, Eddie brought the standard up by unbelievable margins and proved SO many people wrong. The previous record was more than 30 kg below that and there were so many people (even people close to Eddie) who were talking sh*t about Eddie’s chances in the months leading up to the lift. He also did it in front of an entire arena of people whereas Thor did it in his home gym surrounded mainly by his friends and family. I don’t care what you say, that has very big psychological impact on the lifter (anyone who has performed I front of a crowd can attest to this).
When Thor lifted the 501, he proved that he was a better deadlifter in terms of overall strength and capability. You can definitely argue that both of them were capable of more on the day of their lifts but Thor looked a lot smoother and even had a slight disadvantage being half a foot taller than Eddie and had to pull the bar much farther.
But at that point, expectations about pulling 500+ kg were a lot more optimistic than they were when Eddie did the 500. Eddie had already raised the bar and proved it was possible to pull 500 kg. No one was doubting Thor in same way they were doubting Eddie. I think with how good Thor was looking at his peak, almost everyone was pretty certain that he could do it.
Therefore in my opinion, Thor was definitely a stronger deadlifter and arguably a better strongman overall when they were both at their peaks, but Eddie’s lift is still by far the more impressive one. His had more significance and was far more impactful than Thor’s. Credit to both of these guys for what they accomplished during their lifetimes and glad they have at least agreed to disagree when it comes to their past beef.
Me as a mechanics struggle to lift and hold up a 35kg gearbox to secure it with a screw...
I think Thor could of easily beat 500kg in competition, but the fact is he didn't. Home gym records don't count toward world records.
Did he really lock out though?
