    I definitely wouldn't call doing a 970kg total on a short prep after 2years out of strength training, while sick, a failure. I dont know if anyone else in the world could replicate that and it truly shows the raw potential again

    • @highviewbarbell
      @highviewbarbell Рік тому +86

      Yeah, he cut 60kg and "only" totals 970 and he's disappointed

    • @Nirsterkur
      @Nirsterkur Рік тому +57

      Well said. For Hafthor to reach 88% of his prime total after a 30 month heavy lifting hiatus, with such a lean frame, with only a 6 week prep on top of being not fully recovered from the sickness (including the unfortunate 5 kg bodyweight loss) is not a failure but a MINDBLOWING achievement! As you said, nobody else could have totaled 970 under all above circumstances.

    • @drschwandi3687

      Saying he failed is probably motivating to him. He did made the goal of 1000 kg he did not hit so he failed. Of course it was a big goal and not that likely he would hit it. But he still failed to achieve it.

    Dude you came in 5kg short of the day before. Plus you're just coming back into the sport and you still pulled a 970! The 400 squat was heartbreaking and i understand why you wanted to go for the 410 deadlift, it sucks it wasnt there on the day. Always have nothing but admiration for your commitment to anything you do. Also huge shoutout to all the other athletes and everyone else who was able to make the competition happen, and I wish Oskar a swift recovery!

    I think that Thor has a good chance at winning worlds with his lighter bodyweight.
    If he takes 8 to 12 months of just slowly training and working his way through the motions, like Martins Licis, he could easily compete for worlds, and will be a force to be reckoned with.
    He will be much quicker and explosive too with his lighter bodyweight.
    Regardless, I'm super excited to see where Thor goes.

    Mr. Bjornsson's commitment, tenacity, and desire is why he is a true champion. Also, when you consider the effect producing antibodies to ward off a viral infection has on the body, it is incredible he performed as well as he did putting up 970kg. The particular viral infection he had, norovirus, affects digestion which affects strength, particularly because the nervous system is strained due to immune system functions and because nutrients aren't utilized as well. Hydration is also affected. Considering this I am pretty sure he could have gotten his 400kg squat and deadlift, but speculation is pointless, so congratulations doing so well despite the unforeseeable obstacle and the long hiatus from such a style of training Mr. Bjornsson.

    Thor, you’re an inspiration to all - especially us tall guys (I’m 6’6) - with the squat, bench and definitely the deadlift! It’s because of you that I scrapped my fear of trying the perform the deadlift. It’s one of my favorite lifts now and I’m getting better and better at it. Keep pushing the limits and showing the world what the human mind and body are capable of. Well done!!!!!

      As long as you don’t get ego lift you shouldn’t get hurt I would recommend if you’re scared of injury do prs more doubles or triples

      @@luisestrada2732 100%. I’ve shied away from deadlift bc I’m tall and it feel awkward and was trepidatious about potential injury, but that was the past lol. I’ve overcome that and I’ve been so focused on form, building a solid base with low weights and now steadily increasing. Trust me, I have no problem checking my ego at the door (as hard as it can be sometimes), I always put form over ego and weight and that has been the case with deadlifts. But now that my form is solid and I’m comfortable with it along with a big base, I’m starting to move up in weight. Solid point on doubles and triples. I’m moving up slow and steady 👍

      Hafthor is indeed a great inspiration to all the very tall guys out there. It's mindblowing that he mastered one of his weakest lifts back in the day, to be the Strongest Deadlifter in History, all while being 6'9". Yes, nothing is impossible and thank you Hafthor...
