      Please take 2 years to go for the WR in powerlifting you'll get it. Need the time to nail a 500 kg squat, that takes over a year . Then strongman third year back.

      Below are only claims/ no video proof:
      - Z's Squat and Bench
      - B's Squat
      - E's Squat
      Therefore nobody can prove them with irrefutable evidence, and nobody knows whether they actually happened or not.
      Additionally,
      1. Brian's Squat is not even source quoted, it's just mentioned in Wikipedia without any reference (where any unauthorized person could have edited).
      2. Eddie also has a 300 (661) Bench but it's equipped.
      3. Zydrunas's Deadlift is 1 inch deficit. However his best standard height DL is lower than that: 435 (959).

    The internet is pretty spoiled today - people see 310kg for 3 and think, "Yeah, so what? I've seen people pull far more". This is week 1 of his programming. He'll add a ton more weight as the weeks progress. To put it in context, Jujumufu's (smaller guy but pretty strong) all time best deadlift is 666. Thor just started his program with 3x3x683. That's pretty good. There are only a few hundred people in the world who can pull 310kg for 3 when peaked.

      During today's training livestream, Hafthor mentioned about Kaz. He said I want to document this journey systematically from A to Z so even youngsters in future can come here and watch it and get inspired/ learn from it. He said it after saying "I wish if I could see Kaz's journey to break the WR to motivate myself".
