Mantar, i know, Right? Having seen his growth over the last year alone... Damn.. He could actually be competing against Haffy someday. At the rate he has gone so far, he will be lifting in the "Thor" league in just a few years. 🤘
15:07 I love how Hafthor's gym always has local people around, like this dude in the high viz vest in the background. Because it is a small and tight knit community, he probably knows someone at the gym and just stopped by after he got off work.
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741 Yes, but there are kids running around, old men coming by and standing by the door talking to Hafthors dad. Those people - and the high viz vest dude - is obv not there to work out.
It’s not just the lifting of the 129kg dumbbell look how it hits and bangs on Thor’s shoulders, imagine a normal guy in the street being hit on the shoulder with 129 kg , it would break his body and he would be in a plaster cast for a month . It shows how conditioned Thor’s body is to take such a beating ,
Doing single arm farmers carries (AKA Suitcase carries) are aweeeesome for that stuff too. Working on oblique strength plus carrying heavy loads will work your grip plus balance out any shoulder imbalances.
How polar opposites both of them are is so funny. Martin is super laid back go with the flow quirky, thor is super intense, and everything about his day to the minute seems planned
I try and watch all of your videos, but these past few with Marcis have been really enjoyable, you and him together are like starsky and hutch. Just brings a new and different energy that is really entertaining!!!
I just started working out for the first time in my life a month ago and these videos are really motivating to keep pushing! Having trouble gaining weight because I´m rather slim, but I´m just gonna keep on going! Never felt better before in my life to be honest!
Getting there, thunder god! I hope that you will go for the 147 kg one.And Martins is progressing in rapid pace! These are great days. 9:19 And this... Runar, you've made it man!! EPIC.
Yhea, he could actually even try the legendary 1200kg. How fucking cool would it be to see that? It's not even completely impossible if you think about it, he would need a 470+470+260. Since he claimed he could have done 470 DL x4 on a elephant bar not in competition, it's safe to assume he could get it with conventional bar, then he has done 460kg squat before and has gotten stronger since then, and got a 250 bench before. I actually do believe he could get 1200 total. That would be crazy
@@tvnja it's not just any record tho, the 1200kg is nothing short of legendary, it's something that's nearly impossible even theoretically. It would set the bar so fuckin high that I don't even think it will be broken in this century anymore. A record like this will give you money for sure, sponsors know what it means. Besides I doubt thor is short on money, with all of his winnings, sponsors, merch and acting.
Awesome! Got the PRs in... Runar tapping into his viking blood @ 9'30" ... Team and family workout... Got good friendly competition... Man, you guys are living the life... Enjoy the hot/colds, hopefully Thor will cook you up some steaks afterwards. 😁🤘❤
Stefan Solvi is such a legend. Would love to ask him about the old days. He competed against the all time best of previous eras, including a prime Zydrunas.
lifestyle. Please make it happen! It doesn’t need to be as frequently uploaded his set of these other ones but just some insight into what it’s like living w The mountain would be great. Super important information such as: what do his morning farts smell like? Does he ever “Dutch Oven” you?” Google that if you’re not familiar with the term :) In all seriousness, I would love to see what your training is like and how you make both of your guys training splits fit throughout the week, contest prep and what not. Thanks guys! EDIT:LooksnkikenThe first two or three sentences of my post got lost, but basically I was requesting that Kelsey get her own UA-cam channel. Even if it’s only updated semi-regularly, I think a lot of us would be very interested in the personal stuff as well as the trainings stuff. Thanks!
well matteus is really good at atlas press stone and kinda good at throw but sucks at deadlift but certainly the best at dumbell(hard to say between him and hafthor).meanwhile hafthor is juste the best at throw,deadlift and is nom very good at dumbell,and kinda good at atlas press stone,since his height yoke farm walk is also easier for him so sorry matteus is incredible and will be the only one close to hafthor like last year at arnold,but thor will still win
It's good to know just how long these guys actually train for. 2-3 hour workouts, none of this 45 minute crap! They train, refuel and are good to go for the next day.
Thor's saying his body is gtg 48 hours after that deadlift session wow, they best make the elephant bar DL the first event cause he is going to break that record go THOR POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@horsepower1938 I heard Thor mention it was the 4th event but maybe the promoters will switch it back to the 1st event and rogue can offer up 50k for breaking the 500kg barrier. Get some hype going and even more interest in the event.....
5:45 "This will be a huge PR." Not "This will be a huge PR if I can get it." That's the difference between these guys and and those who constantly fail in life. Get it, Champ!
@@adityavikram244 Mateusz pulled 420 kg in Dubai. I can see Thor, Jerry, JF, Michail and Martins beating that so that gives a five point disadvantage. Not that much with 5 other event.
@@cesteres personally I'm very interested how Mateusz is going to perform, considering at last years Arnold the Wheel of Pain and the front carry seemed pretty tough for him, I kinda want him to get his revenge on those events... but yeah Hafthor is most likely to win, considering every event there he's probably placing at least top 3
That ammonia shit must be anger in a bottle. Every time Martins talks about his nerve damage I really feel for him because I know all too well what that shit feels like.
@Vegans Suck do explain... he doesn't need to be able to do 160 kg, it's 147 kg for reps. Also, I guess you missed when he was pressing a 160 kg atlas stone like he was brushing his teeth. His arm is just fine, your 12 month + recovery theory is dead. Just accept it.
The biggest guy in his prime ever. He has the frame to carry the most impressive physical mass ever witnessed. He is what 430#s and no where near the extra cushion that Eddie had when he got that heavy. What would have been awesome would have been for Shaw and Thor’s prime years to coincide.
@@anthonyproffitt5341 I feel like Thor's genetic put even Brian to shame, he's taller and wider, and with a noticeably lower bodyfat. Imagine what would happen if Thor decided to go all-in and get to the levels of fat Eddie had. He would reach like 220kg lol probably more. Surely more
@@iammoderndaysampson900 Mateusz is a beast no doubt, his pressing strength seems to be immense for no reason.....But he's rather behind in any other static strength event. What makes him a super strong contender is that he has amazing conditioning and amazing pressing str, leaving only a couple of events out of his comfort zone.
Totally agree, Thor has more freak genetics than Brian. But dont forget it was Brian Shaw that made this sport semi-mainstream + was the first contender to go to extreme levels for the details. Every strongman had learned from him. Lads like Eddie probably put in the most brutal work and ate the most freakamounts to gain weight. And Thor has the genetics. Martins had the worst training results but has a freakish amount of adrenaline in competition. Making him somehow outperform. In my honest opinion; zydrunas savickas is still the worlds greatest overall. Most wins, longest reign, genetics, the food, the prep.
Thor is as of right now the strongest man alive.He will win the Arnold classics for sure if this keeps up.Most likely he'll deadlift 501 kg at one point this year.The first man who will go beyond 500 kg.
It would be awesome to see but that lift nearly killed Eddie and at that time Eddie could pull 480 kg faster than these guys can pull 700lbs off the ground. I'd love to see it I just don't believe anyone has what it takes to mentally make the lift happen.
Stewie Griffin when ever you watch Thor dead in recent times he is deadlifting on a bar that has similar whip to an elephant bar. He has explained that you have to pull slower off the floor to limit the whip or it can whip too much and make it hard to finish. That said some guys always pull slow off the floor no matter the weight, just because that’s their style. Thor made 1003# look like light weight with at least 1-2 more in the tank still several weeks out. His current strength is appears to be right around 500kg +/- 5 kg.
@Gore4ever FulciLives Well like I said Eddie made 480kg look like he had nothing on the bar... But 20 more KG literally almost killed him. That extra weight makes a difference no matter how much you rep a lower weight. But I guess we'll see soon enough. You wanna put a dollar on it?
@@stewiegriffin3627 What part you don't understand the elephant bar is harder than regular Olympic style bar. At the Arnold Thor just maybe will attempt 501kg.If he succeed than not only will he shatter Eddie Hall previous record but 501kg in the elephant bar is probably 510kg in the Olympic bar.
Runar's pressing strength is honestly incredible. Such a beast.
yeah, beacause he has the shortest arms in iceland
@@Blomsterfinn7 lol rude. hes still strong

Doesnt he weigh like 88 - 90 kg? And he did 80kg today. Incredible
UA-cam this week: (sees Martins puts up a new video) "Cool, Thor is about to put up a new video in a few minutes!"
and we have zero complaints with this trend
So basically he's lifting the equivalent weight of Dwayne The Rock Johnson overhead, with one hand 😳
Who? :D
Lame Trailers It’s about 10/15kg heavier than The Rock
@@monglold They lift stones in this video? cant wait!

I think it's best if he devotes his prime years to strongman. He can do powerlifting in his late 30s
Wrong comment thread 😂
Only friends allowed i been there. And am 1

Congrats on that PB, Runar. Huge lift!
There’s something so wholesome about these two training together. You almost forget they are rivals in WSM.
Runar....80kg....unbelievable PB......congratulations
Could you show your warm up and activation pre pressing sessions, you look huge and strong, all the best for you and team Iceland
Runar benches as much as I squat and I have at least 50 pounds on him. He's my hero.
He’s 200lbs btw
@@Matt7pl oh wow, dense little fella, so only 35 pounds on him. I feel better? haha
You and the dwarf are obese... cut back on the mcdonalds!
@@brofessorb1768 Really? I'm overweight? I had no fucking idea! Thank you for telling me!

I love the smile after Runar pushed his PB. I really enjoy the progress of Hafthor, Björn and Runar. You guys give a huge boost in my workout.
Wow, in Thors Power Gym läuft Rammstein...
Ja Martins hört sie regelmäßig und durfte wahrscheinlich die Musik auswählen
Feuer frei! 💥💥
Die Deutschen kommen😂😂
WooOOOW
Wer kann, der kann
When Runar competes in the summer can you do a video on that please? Would love to see him compete
Enjoying these strongman videos more than bodybuilding.. love the collabs, zero egos and pretence.. just easy to like 👌🏼
When they were lifting the giant stones overhead, you stop and realize that the dumbbells they were pressing with one hand were actually heavier.
I just started working out for the first time in my life a month ago and these videos are really motivating to keep pushing! Having trouble gaining weight because I´m rather slim, but I´m just gonna keep on going! Never felt better before in my life to be honest!

His dad is so proud of him. Always in the background watching his son. Wish I had one like that.
