@@markuschampos5750 Absolutely THOR single handedly sets the Stage on fire the moment he comes walking towards the crowd. He is one of a kind that World will Ever see. A Viking Breaking 1000 Year old Records.
Carons best of 463 was at the Arnolds 2018 in Colombus Ohio and his next best of 454 was while training with Brian for that in Colorado. Think that is all the times he pulled 1000
Steroid users are like little kids wearing a costume and wanting you to believe it's really them! If you don't go along with it, they throw a tantrum! Stay natural buddy!
My pecs cramp when I get out of position on my deads as well. You lost lat tightness a little bit, which is why the bar popped out a little bit at the bottom, compared to 420kg. The pecs get pulled in when the lats round. This is exactly what happens to me if I’m not 100% tight on a “max” attempt. This is my assessment, as a low 700s puller, on the best puller of all time lol
Thats impressive bro still shows you have knowledge when it comes to lifts. Closest i have ever done to this was 400kg. It pulls everything especially under fatigue
460Kg is massive. Lot of people talking it wasn´t as great, but Thor addressed this here, honestly is important, also gives a context to why the lift move like it moved, even Tristan noticed it. BTW, Huge deadlift by Tristan, that 420KG was impressive. Hope Thor bulks to 206, health is first though, but getting back to that weight will allow the suit to actually help, here is like Thor is doing it Raw anyway, and also strenght perks. Let´s get that 505KG
Given there are lifters like Colton who can do 460k at 100kg bodyweight without suits and straps, its a bit less impressive. Some of these younger power lifters are monsters. Eddies 500kg was legendary but he can't clear 400kg without wraps and always struggled with his grip.
@Duderos And? Eddie said his sumo was less than his conventional. I deadlift 310 conventional and barely do 260 sumo. I guess you don't lift at all 😂😂😂
Hit a new PB on deadlift literally 30 mins ago. 170kg. I was absolutely buzzing. Bit slow off the ground but pushed through a took a spoonful of man-up and locked out. 🎉
You got thisThor I’m rooting for you. You’re my favorite strong giant. You got this brother from another mother a year ago. My fiancé and I took a vacation and went to Iceland. We drove around the whole island. What a beautiful place you live in one giant fucking volcano with waterfalls everywhere and the horses, the little horses everywhere amazing. 💪🏼🇺🇸
Been waiting for this video ever since you posted the final warmup on instagram! Crazy strong. Great pull. Amazing stuff. Will be super excited to watch you compete and crush at the Arnold's! 505 in sight.
if those are standard size cinder blocks at 7 5/8 inches (76 inches), plus grout 3/8-1/2 inches x 10 = 4.5 to 5 inches..and if he stands straight with feet together he is 3 inches over, than equals 81 inches, or 6'8.5"-6'9". There you go, for all of you people who say he isn't as tall as advertised. :)
I’ve never heard his height be doubted…. But I appreciate you calculating that. However, it seems like even the numbers you use for those estimation could account for being maybe a couple inches off. A couple inches is all somebody would realistically claim his height listing is off to begin with, so I’m not sure this clears anything up at all (if there even was something to clear up to begin with). Regardless, you can see him have 4-6” on the majority of his competitors anyway
If it gets in your head, the struggle is real. No matter what may actually happen in your pectoralis, if it bothers you, you need to address it. Train hard, stay safe 👍
I agree with Thor, watched the 460kg lift so many times, the breathing prior while chalking up was so amping, I felt it was me lifting 460kg so privileged to witness, but the gym was so electrically emotionally CHARGED you smashed it regardless, the 501kg lift went up faster lol. The milli second pause at your shins was incredibly managed with henge power you SMASHED it.
09:25 Thor speaks about that feeling that excitement that knowing your going to smash your workout. Even the best in the world still gets butterflies 💪
Thor isn't even peaked for the ASC and he's already pulling 1014 lbs, that's crazy! He'll probably put on more mass in 2 months and assuming he's going for the deadlift record at the ASC!
I get those chest cramps from deadlifts too when I max out. I found out that by really engaging my lower lats near the top, it takes that away. Did a recent PR of 555 and 566 20 days apart. Keep going Thor!
Cant help of notice the Swedish flagg in the background, with all others 👍🇸🇪👍. Am really hoping for a Swedish strongman competing in the Big events again 💪🏼. Been to long ago now..😢
A lot of people here seem to not understand how a training cycle works. Do you always have perfect training days? Are you rested in the middle of a training cycle ready to pull your max? Of course not. We dont know how far out his competition is. Even at his current strength if properly rested he could probably pull 480. Also im not sure he is using his multiply suit yet. He mentioned he was having one made.
He is using singly ply, and one that was meant for his 206KG shape if that (15 kg above what he weights right now). He got a Kratos suit but was done bad so he returned it and far as i remember he should be getting it back soon
I love Brian/evolution’s soft belt while working/warming up on deadlifts and for carrying, etc. and will switch to a leather (I use a gymreaper with a patriot latch) belt when it gets heavier, but I’m like him, I don’t love them on together. I will say I have the “hard” belt from evolution that goes with their soft belt, and it’s a decent combo for sure. They are comfortable together (vs a leather on top), but comes down to habit I suppose. Thanks Thor!! Killing it brotha
I like the evolution belt has loops so you can throw a leather lever belt over if you really need zero give/tight compression. But the evo belt is so much wider it supports more to me.
And he's still 17k away from his bodyweught during 501. Dont know how far he's planning to push it but him back at 208 with an actual multiply deadlift suit would be untouchable for a long long time
Ref: Bodyweight during the 501: Depending on the source it's anywhere from 205-208, with these 3 numbers frequently being quoted: 208, 206 and 205. He was eating his 4th meal of the day at 3.00 pm and the Deadlifting started around an hour later. So I'm assuming whatever morning weight he had was exceeded. The next day Hafthor started boxing training with Skuli and he weighed himself at 208. Personally, I go with 208 because we asked this question from Hafthor during a Twitch livestream about a year and a half ago and that was his answer as well.
Grahm Hicks pulled 470 at the world deadlift championship, Makarov, Singleton, and Heinla were second at 455 so 460 is possible. Mitchell Hooper and Trey Mitchell just pulled 470 at USA Strongman Championship. Dmitor Savintov hit 467.5 but it was pretty rough but you take 7kg and I think he could do it. There are probably more Im not thinking of. Still 460 is huge and Thors still in training so its pretty nuts. 505 is looking more and more likely Im hyped to see him make the run
@@bigeric1982Difference is all of them where peaked, barring Mitch. Also, address the form of all of them hitting those weights IN Multiply, barring Trey, who btw did A poundstone deadlift rather than a clean deadlift.
No, not quite... Up there, yes. But Big Z wipes the floor with Thor when it comes to accolades; Z probably is the strongest that ever lived. Most pro strongmen agree with that. WSMs, Arnold Classics and IFSA comps - Z had major control Benni pulled 461kg with just a belt; no straps and stood there & smiled with it before placing it back down under full control Thors 501kg pull IMO was better than Halls 500kg - Thors pull was smoother, a cleaner lockout and didn't nearly die backstage...!
460kg looked clean, bit shaky from the bottom, but as soon as it went it went good. 6-8 weeks and i reckon 460kg will be a smooth lift. 475-480kg next before the big 505-510kg. good luck Thor.
Unbelievable Hafthor…I love these videos..but here’s my question…random I know..have you ever been in a situation where your amazing strength got you or someone out of a bad situation…like someone stuck under something..or like saved someone from lifting something that was to heavy for them and they almost got seriously hurt…stuff like that…oh and also have your ever lifted someone with one hand like you see in the movies…just curious..love from Pittsburgh

Nice work Hafthor!! It is fun to watch you pull that weight. Love seeing you compete again in strong man. Been a fan for a long time. Cheers.
Thor is a legend, real words of insight of a strongman struggles, and still pushes through, so privileged to witness such a session ❤❤❤❤
Killing it. Maybe the pec cramped from not only the heavy pull, but the pressure the suit makes. Helluva lift, brother
Full beard Thor pulls 1000Kg, easily.
uhe just needs like 1 year of training and full beard and hes pulling that with ease

prob a good idea for Thor to do an IV drip after a long trip to get that recovery asap.
Maybe it was subconscious. Because you didn't have the socks on, that the bar was slightly forward.
