I tink it's not that it was heavy for Shaw but there's sometings that competitors will be better at than some Thor's good at deadlier Brian is good at plane pull truck pull and atlas stones
I wouldn't have watched it right through if I knew that would happen at the end. Maybe Brian should have kept to the same weight. I really expected and hoped he would do it.
Thats still not much at all considering the training it takes to get to this level of strength requires a fuck ton of drugs, training, food.etc that destroys your body and can cripple you. It fathoms me that sports like these are under-profited compared to something boring as shit like golf, where the players make 100x what strongman make
It´s amazing. But what also surprises me is how young is the Polish man (sorry, I don´t know the name yet) and he finished third. This sport has got a bright future.
Dom Shefwood yeah hafthor and Brian both weigh about 100lbs heavier than everyone else so an 800lb deadlift is the equivalent of someone who is 150lns lifting 300lbs so yeah it makes sense they can lift so much more.
the difference maker is guys like Shaw and Hafthor are genetic giants where as the other guys are more normal sized human beings just with a lot of muscle.
Not really it's only one lift. Nice gesture. You usually dont get paid for breaking records, you just go down in the book. If you win the tournament you should get a nice payday
Except his last lift where his hips shot up too early. Although at very heavy weights it's so hard not to try and dominate with quad push and maintaining a back brace becomes hard.
His form is terrible. You can all kinds of problems on the way. It’s why he always gets injured at maximal weight, but it’s the only way he AA figured out to lift heavy.
For the people saying 500kg is the record. That deadlift was done with the help of a deadlift suit. Eddie hall last competition in Arnold pulled 464 with very high difficulty. Also this is the record for rogue elephant.
First the 500kg was done at the deadlift championships on a standard bar yes so its a different record, and unless you think a suit adds 40kg not sure what your point is. Next Hall had just pulled 460kg before....not sure about you, but i don't usual pull my max and then pull it again on the same day.
Tirthankar Mandal damn obvious? Could be quite the opposite. The guy could have become weaker due to many factors ;) do not assume something you dont know
yes, but that is on training, not competition, + he did what we call "forklift" which is the aid of thighs to lift up the bar, so it would be 3 red lights on comp. Still very fuckin impressive
These guys are pulling 1000lbs like it's nothing, 15 years back if a strong men pulled 800lbs it meant something. Plus these peope running this organization should be embarassed to pay $5000 for somebody killing their body for entertainment
You do realize that the competitors don't live on competition money, right? I think the payouts are low, but it's not like these guys take their check home and try to spread it out over 5 months of living expenses.
apparently sponsors dont believe they are worth that much. 5000 dlrs is like 1000 with 'lets make them a favor' . these strongmen beat the shit out of their bodies, millioms of people watching and the best they can do is givd them a prize of 5000. might as well do lidt it home
I will never cease to be amazed at how easily these men lift this weight. That's over 1/2 ton being lifted from the floor with nothing more than human power. I don't care about what bar, their form or any of that meaningless minutia. That's 1,000+ freaking pounds! Amazing!
@@JoKacX Hes probably from the US were half a ton = 1000 lbs. We don't do the metric system over here we haven't caught up to the rest of the world yet.
@@inertia9325 NOPE, You go work in Industrial Construction as a Rigger and try and tell your boss that 1000 lbs isn't half a tone. In the United States that is.

@J- Boy LOL, I dead lifted 405 lbs for 3 reps the other day and these guys can clean and over head press that shit for reps easy. These guys make you realize how small you really are smh.
The world record for a raw deadlift (a deadlift where only a weight belt is allowed) is 472 kg (1,040.6 lb) by Hafthor Bjornsson The world record deadlift (using a standard bar and plates but suit, straps and hitching allowed) is 500 kg (1,102.3 lb) by Eddie Hall
With straps it is not RAW. The real raw deadlift record (without straps and suit) is held by magnusson, if i remember well (he pulled smthing like 465 kg)
DL Power Why? It seemed to me like they wanted to cheer on the competetors and get the crowd involved. Sure, they missed a couple of facts here and there, but i generally think, they succeded at making it entertaining, while respecting the hard work and dedication of the athletes.
Haha da fuck. The editors for the show must have been poorly informed. I've never seen a deadlift contest in strongman where they havent been used straps. Hell its one of the reasons why some powerlifters out right refuse to give any credit to strongman deadlifts. Despite the fact that some strongman doesnt even use a belt instead. Only deadlift like excersise I've seen them do without straps were like a car behind the back DL. And that is only because the grips are "neutral" (like a trap bar). Since the biggest reason for the straps in strongman is so they dont have to use a mixed or thumb grip while (mixed risks tearing a bicep)
Just to create more hype at the event. The longer bar makes it easier to break from the floor but makes the barbell whip a lot more near the top of the lift.
Even though he missed the lift, hearing a crowd of thousands chant "USA, USA" as the greatest strongman of all time attempts the heaviest deadlift he's ever done, after a killer intro by Mark Henry. Such a special moment. Makes me proud to be an American.
I feel brian has atleat 1 good run left in him. Eddie and thor are younger and will take over once brian leaves but as long as brian competes he is a threat. Thor seems hungrier than evernwith a point to prove.
And how do you want? For 5 months, raise your three weights while working at work and almost without eating food! I would like to look at your ascent when you pull 900
900?? what are u smoking? ok u strong but your lift looks shit! why not get good with little lower weight and a good lift, instead of a shit lift with heavyer weights? do u think u the only one working a job and going to the gym tired after a long day?
I disagree > I thought Mark Henry was excellent, he reads the crowd, talks to the crowd, stays in the flow. NOT his fault it took 10 minutes for the lifters to pick numbers to start lifting at. So the commentators had to fill 10 minutes waiting for them. And he was 2x Olympian so he is qualified to comment on strength !
Have you tried lifting lifting with people on the mic and sound echoing everywhere. It’s not a race or football game it’s weight lifting there not going to be cheering and yelling goooooooaaaaallllll they are there to give viewers at home and at the event updates on weights who’s who and what technique is being used.
Yeah I thought he was blabbing at the wrong moment when guys were trying to concentrate just before their lift. I guess with all those arians on stage they had to have at least one black man up there lol
If there's one man out of all of them I'd have in my corner for any situation, it's Mikhail. That man screams warrior ethos. Yes he's strong, very. But it's his heart and humanity. 🙏
Mad respect to all who compete and who have competed. Respect to those who help run the event and to the fans who support it but..... WTF are those damn commentators wearing. Yellow button up w brown vest?? Like wtf
Sorta. His best deadlift is about 920 pounds in the gym and high 800s in competition. So I guess he could hang with some of these guys, but he would be near the bottom of the pack. The top guys are lifting 1000 pounds plus as you can see :)
Pete would have to do all of these events they did the days prior first, then try to deadlift 920lbs. The conditioning strongmen have is absolutely insane, to be able to show up sore and beaten up and still pull over 1000lbs.
Honor Foss yeah but it’s an elephant bar, kinda different then what Pete used to lift, which I’m sure is a Texas power bar, which adds 50-100lbs depending on how strong you are. Pete maybe would have placed 5th at this event, which is still insane given his bodyweight, but his leverages (world class) probably don’t carry over to other non static lifting events I may be wrong about what Pete used to lift, but even so, this is after 3 other events one after the other with no resting days, Pete would probably lose horribly at the other events.
750 lbs!!!! And sounds like a wrestling commentator. We understand the weight. We're all lifters. With all the hype over 800, there's nowhere to go when over 1000
I would have liked to see Brian Shaw bring the deadlift record back to the USA, but I sure don't have any trouble with Iceland and The Mountain holding it! Next time...... Thanks for posting this event!
0:59 where it says straps not allowed.. that's a typo.. also where it says proper technique is required, also a typo.. they are allowed to use straps and hitch the weight up in strongman, powerlifting has stricter deadlift rules
Nosotros tambien estamos buscando un gigante en Bolivia, pronto estara compitiendo con Uds. en el tamaño esta la fuerza, uno que sea un digno rival de HAPFTHOR, tenemos a TATAQUE pero ya esta un poco viejo, SALUDOS DE BOLIVIA!!!!
The fact those skinny chairs doesnt buckle down when these guys sit on them, blows my mind hahaha I was waiting for Brad Castleberry, damn dude didn't show up hahaha
Thor making massive progress! Stan Efferding working his magic. looking forward to Europe's strongest man and hopefully Eddie adding another World record to his collection, with the log!
Hafthor looks like he has so much more in him. If he doesn't retire any time soon then I can see him pulling even a 500kg without the suit Eddie Hall used.
I like Larry but he's almost to his max potential right now. I hate to say it but I cant ever see him competing at this level. He is training with Thor right now and Thor makes the weights Larry lifts look as if hes a lil boy to be honest.
@@Roadglide86Thor's l,042 lbs dead lift Larry hasn't even come close to braking the 900 lbs mark, 440 lbs log press Larry's PR and Thor does it for reps, Thor shouldering the biggest natural stone in his gym Larry can get it to chest. I mean Larry is 6'2" 285 lbs and Thor is 6'9" 440 lbs Thor is just on another level because of his size.
Great Mens,. but little confuse here with the rules.. in starting rules said that 'ANY KIND OF STRAPS ARE NOT ALLOWED" But still the lifters were using them.
I like how it says mark Henry was the worlds strongest man in 2002, which is not true at all! Lol he has never won the worlds strongest man contest ever! Winning the Arnold is not the world strongest man title.
Blodørn except for the fact that it's only 5 lifts, where as the worlds strongest man has more. No doubt Arnold is the biggest sports festival but it's not the official title of worlds strongest man!
When Brian Shaw can't lift something, you know that shit is HEAVY.
I tink it's not that it was heavy for Shaw but there's sometings that competitors will be better at than some Thor's good at deadlier Brian is good at plane pull truck pull and atlas stones

so you lift 1048lbs just to be given 5,000 usd??!!!! that is not fair, that is not even equivalent to the food and supplements that this guys take.
5,000 is a crappy prize for a world record that risks your life. Cough up Arnold, you've got more dough than that.
That is for deadlift alone, Thor won the Arnold Classic Strongman and took home $72,000 with Brain Shaw 2nd taking home $22,000.
Footballers get paid more because football is more relevant to the market. It has nothing to do with effort.

Shaw is like a scientist with his form. So precise.

Pete would have to do all of these events they did the days prior first, then try to deadlift 920lbs. The conditioning strongmen have is absolutely insane, to be able to show up sore and beaten up and still pull over 1000lbs.
Honor Foss yeah but it’s an elephant bar, kinda different then what Pete used to lift, which I’m sure is a Texas power bar, which adds 50-100lbs depending on how strong you are. Pete maybe would have placed 5th at this event, which is still insane given his bodyweight, but his leverages (world class) probably don’t carry over to other non static lifting events
I may be wrong about what Pete used to lift, but even so, this is after 3 other events one after the other with no resting days, Pete would probably lose horribly at the other events.
buck Buckley right I got that. I'm just saying for the deadlift event.
I wish they invited Eddie and Benny to this event
Eddie hall retired. To save his health and for his family
Props to Savatinov for playing fair and not using his open-brain powers to start lifting a ton for reps
I cannot wait for this event this year!!
Not the same without The Beast...
Me
Who ?
khalil ahmed Eddie Hall
Henry cutting promos at the Arnold. Grats on your WWE Hall of Fame 2018!!
most lifters try to fire up before the lift. Rauno Heinla tries to puke. Whatever it takes
Rauno Heinla just choking and gagging his way through the comp is my new favorite thing
I would rather no commentary compared to mark Henry and whoever else had the mic. This is bullshit.
750 lbs!!!! And sounds like a wrestling commentator. We understand the weight. We're all lifters. With all the hype over 800, there's nowhere to go when over 1000
Jim Ross from wrestling to be a commentator... he would’ve been better than Mark Henry
Overboard obnoxious Mark Henry, just shut the fuck up
Get Fat Man Scoop off the fucking mic
😂 come on, they had to keep it SOMEWHAT interesting
I would have liked to see Brian Shaw bring the deadlift record back to the USA, but I sure don't have any trouble with Iceland and The Mountain holding it! Next time...... Thanks for posting this event!
Using straps for the deadlift is not really a valid deadlift.
This was the peak. Nothing has compared since.
It said no”straps of any kind.....”than why do they all have them
0:59 where it says straps not allowed.. that's a typo.. also where it says proper technique is required, also a typo.. they are allowed to use straps and hitch the weight up in strongman, powerlifting has stricter deadlift rules
16:04, all blood seems to be collecting in his hands. Damn!! :O
shaw and thor are just in another level...that USA chant shutdown was so funny to watch haha
BE READY FOR LARRY WHEELS 2019💪🏿🏋🏿♂️💯🏆BEAST MODE
Amazing how with this kind of weight having a narrow stance/grip is a huge advantage. More bar bend and less ROM.
When your blood vessels say, "She's gonna blow! Abandon ship!!!" 48:41
It’s amazing what these guys can do!
54:48 man, now that was fast! Power
My back hurts just watching this...
Those 45lbs look sick
Nosotros tambien estamos buscando un gigante en Bolivia, pronto estara compitiendo con Uds. en el tamaño esta la fuerza, uno que sea un digno rival de HAPFTHOR, tenemos a TATAQUE pero ya esta un poco viejo, SALUDOS DE BOLIVIA!!!!
The fact those skinny chairs doesnt buckle down when these guys sit on them, blows my mind hahaha I was waiting for Brad Castleberry, damn dude didn't show up hahaha
First lift at around 10:50 for reference
the prize should be the weight of what they lifted in 100 dollar bills
What is the music playing in the background when Shaw lifts at 59:43?
No, clean and press is the ultimate test of strength. Picking something up and raising it above your head.
Happy for thor, he deserved it
Thor making massive progress! Stan Efferding working his magic. looking forward to Europe's strongest man and hopefully Eddie adding another World record to his collection, with the log!
straps or no straps it still 1000lbs :)
SimpLE Tai exactly its about leg power not grip strentgh

Hafthor looks like he has so much more in him. If he doesn't retire any time soon then I can see him pulling even a 500kg without the suit Eddie Hall used.
Just here looking at Larry Wheel's future rivals. :)
I like Larry but he's almost to his max potential right now. I hate to say it but I cant ever see him competing at this level. He is training with Thor right now and Thor makes the weights Larry lifts look as if hes a lil boy to be honest.
@@drunkmike9943 what lift are you talking about? I haven't seen anything like that and watched everything they have done
@@Roadglide86Thor's l,042 lbs dead lift Larry hasn't even come close to braking the 900 lbs mark, 440 lbs log press Larry's PR and Thor does it for reps, Thor shouldering the biggest natural stone in his gym Larry can get it to chest. I mean Larry is 6'2" 285 lbs and Thor is 6'9" 440 lbs Thor is just on another level because of his size.
@@drunkmike9943 Larry just did 444lbs log press with only 6 weeks training and he is always hitting prs he has not hit his genetic potential yet
Great Mens,. but little confuse here with the rules.. in starting rules said that 'ANY KIND OF STRAPS ARE NOT ALLOWED" But still the lifters were using them.
I like how it says mark Henry was the worlds strongest man in 2002, which is not true at all! Lol he has never won the worlds strongest man contest ever! Winning the Arnold is not the world strongest man title.
you can argue all day with people that will say the arnold is a better test of strength than the WSM
Blodørn except for the fact that it's only 5 lifts, where as the worlds strongest man has more. No doubt Arnold is the biggest sports festival but it's not the official title of worlds strongest man!
More events doesn't mean much. Arnold has a focus on pure strength lifts no running around like WSM, and thats why is generally considered better.
people say that because he beat the previous winner of wsm to win the arnold title
Blodørn at the time it wasn't
Incredible Hafthor!
You people need to be quiet about the money if u are trippin then u should of donated
