Maybe he won't do it, but Thor doesn't talk nonsense just for attention. He absolutely has a chance and I'm excited to see him try.
It's also a standard he put for himself, if he can't do it, he rather not go back to Strongman, and thats about right. He's getting up in the age.
i think he will do it. guy is not even old.
He will break the record in his garage and have his dad be the judge
One thing he should always remember too is to never judge a book by its cover.
He has no chance. He's been training squat and deadlift all his life and even at his peak, his raw numbers were just ok for the shw class. His deadlift is limited to his grip; his squat has never been that great; his pressing power in Strongman has always been just ok (which means his bench will never be great). Eddie Hall had awesome pressing power in Strongman and that's why he was a great bencher. I don't see Thor benching anywhere close to 600 lbs even with much training. I don't think his deadlift grip will improve much over his 2019 peak, when his bw was well over 400 lbs.
His best scenario: 900 lbs squat in sleeves + 950 raw deadlift + 600 bench.
Dont underestimate Thor.. hes got an iron mindset and world class genetics. I believe in him
i agree with you
@@jaredchalker7914 he is 33 what you mean OLD LMAO
I’ve heard of bootlicking but it appears you’ve swallowed the entire boot 😮💨
@@jaredchalker7914 he has like 5 more years to blow the competition out of the water in both strongman and PL
@@jaredchalker7914 I kinda agree if it was in 3-5 yrs out, but he is gunning for it in 6-18 months, which would make him 34-35 yrs old.
That age should be just fine for a max powerlifter - Dan Bell was 34 when he did the record.
His 460kg squat depth looked good to me and it still flew up pretty fast
He walked it out too, wonder if he'd get any more out of lifting it out of a mono?
As someone who has zero knowledge of power lifting or lifting in general and is not a Thor fanatic I would have to agree that squat looked pretty good
Looked deeper than Bell's cleared 500kg plus he walked it out. I think he could have had 470-480kg that day if he done it from a mono and the same judges as Bell's.
People forget Thor literally spent a couple weeks prepping for his last meets
still no one is beating Daniel Bell in the next 3-4 years
He still has to beat 9 guys that are ahead of him in the total
He hadn't been coming off spending all his time training for boxing and losing weight back then.
Exactly, if he has the dedication to spend two weeks to prep for a meet in the past, then there's no reason he can't spend a week or two getting ready to break the record
@@chrisnorman1902 Lmao 🤣
I would never say Thor doesn't have a chance. Literally one of the strongest humans to ever live.
Thors "near miss for depth" was way deeper than Daniel's 500kg squat
Definitely - first thing I noticed too!
I firmly believe that Thor was robbed on that squat. It looked nearly identical to his 440kg squat.
I agree that 500kg squat is a joke, lmao
@@slavsthetics2447 and correspondingly the ATWR total is a joke. It will be nice to see Thor achieve his goal for one - to have the ATWR re-legitimised. Thor doesn't seem to be one prone to chronically high squats.
@@thearm95 his lift attempts will be : 480 SQ ; 270 BP ; 440 DL...crasy goals but he can do it!
in that 500kg squat, daniel had advantage that he dont have to walk off with that weight
He also had worse depth, let's be honest.
0:57 Whoever who gave Haffi's 460 Squat a red light for depth must have been smoking crack!
Nah it was high bro. Don’t make excuses just because he’s thor
Boris Sheiko was the head ref. He made a post on his IG and thor said all good on it. IIRC thor wanted extremely harsh judging so there wouldn't be questions if he got the ATWR at his meet.
@@NSD-fp9qj It wasn't IPF depth, but it was deeper than anything Dan Bell does in his comps
@@MrPikkabo someone else gets it. I've literally never seen a squat by Dan that was to depth. His 500kg 'record' was patently high.
@@christopherroberts2500 I have no opinion on Dans squat, but Thors 460 was deep and fast as fuck. He had 475 in him that day.
If Thor can get back to his peak strength, then he has a shot. But that's a big IF at this point. That was right after he pulled the 501 kg, so I'd say he's a long ways off from that level of strength right now. And the question is if he'd even be willing to put all of that weight back on and take such a big risk with his health to near that level again.
I think he mentioned that he would be going up to 185kg bodyweight as a max. He was 197,5kg in the meet showed in the video, so not too far off but still a fair bit heavier.
If you are referring to the full meet he did, it was 1,5 years before the 501 kg.
Big Pete in ever comment section
It's not a "strength level" it's a testosterone level.
Dude needs +100kg on his squat, +60 on his bench, + 40 on deadlift and +20 on his grip just to match the world record. All this in a year. I love Thor, and I look forward to see him competing in strongman again. But I don't see this happening now, maybe in a few years before he retires for sure.
Hafthor will be the first man to break the mythical 1200, just wait and see.
i hope so
About that subscriber highlight: he's 16 years old and he's already 105 kg/231 lbs and squatting almost double his bodyweight? That's insane, props to that kid
The depth is key point
It's not really hard to squat that when you're really strong
@@danielhenderson762 no shit?
@@freddyls7616 :)))
roids.
Just give him 10 months guys. He never had a Powerlifting specific prep in his entire life which was longer than 6 weeks. What can someone do in 6 weeks? He will gradually and systematically regain strength, improve his grip, and master the Powerlifting mechanics and give it his best in December.
My prediction: *480-500, 270-280, 435-461* #Dec2023ATWR
Great predictions Nirmal, although I doubt he can get his bench up that much, he might get 270kg. The other lifts I agree, the 460kg squat flew up and it was only lacking a tiny bit of depth to get passed. Deadlift is tough to predict because it was his grip failing previously, although he would never train mixed grip for strongman, so once he gets more familiar with mixed grip then I can see 440-450kg going up.
On bench 250/265/280
On squat.440/460/480
On deadlift 410/430/450
All my prediction attempts
Nirmal, agree with you. I'd say Haffi will be the first man to break the mythical 1200. Nobody should ever underestimate him. I saw the livestream today and he is a man on a mission.
You are his biggest fan so you know better than me about his prep. I also agree with Giovanni, he might as well shock all of us by pulling that! I never doubt Thor. If he says he's gonna break the WR, goddamnit he will break the WR. Period.
My god that 480-500 prediction is daring. I would bet on 460+; 260; 440 but that would still leave 22.5kg open.
If he say he's going to beat a record that's what he does!
Thor's projected lifts are 480-500 squat, 260-280 bench, 430-450 dead according to his coach
projected u mean made up bro
@@TheBelegstrongbow aren't all goals made up though
No chance
Deadlift might be possible, the rest is too high
@@yanniblumstein1 I think he's rushing the timeline to achieve this. Should wait until next year
Thor literally walked back with all that weight on his shoulder and did a perfect squat being that tall is insane, in my opinion, he is on the list of the top 5 strongest men who ever lived.
Tbh even if i dont consider him to be the goat of the strongman sport, its hard to argue peak thor isnt the strongest strongman that ever lived. Sure overhead pressing nowhere near Nr 1 but still
@@hirammaxim6400 I’m a huge fan of strongman. While I am partial to Brian Shaw and I think Eddie was always statically the strongest, the year that Thor won WSM and the Arnold was one of the most dominant years I’ve ever seen
@@yossischwarz1042 yeah eddie is propably the strongest stacically. But he and Z are very close i feel like
@@hirammaxim6400 yeah, similar build, similar insane shoulders…totally agree.
Brad CastleBerry squatted 30 styrofoam plates and two 45 pound plates
Let’s remember Thor is the man that gets shit done. Won WSM, beat deadlift record, and beat Eddie in a ring. He is not someone who just makes empty statements.
Thor will do it. No doubt. He can put all his time and considerable wealth into being the best he can be. Dan Bell works a tough-as-hell job and fits his training in around it.
No he wont
I feel like thor should go the hook grip route. I'm sure he's got long enough fingers to do it and obviously his pain tolerance is there
Agreed. While getting conditioned to the hook grip sucks, if anyone's got hands built for it, it's him.
If Thor sets his mind to achieve something, he will. He just doesn't fail.
EDIT: Of course people fail, what Im trying to say is that Thor has a solid mindset and is one of the most hard working and dedicated people in the industry. His fight with Eddie, the deadlift record, everything from his international competitions to his recent powerlift meets, he always gives his all. He doesnt give up. If you have been following him for a while you will know what I mean.
He failed at beating Eddie at WSM 2017 and he failed at winning a second WSM.
@@papapronator2476 he succeeded at breaking Eddie's deadlift wr tho
@@costinh4644 4 years after he claimed he would lol. Anyways Thor has a lot of drive and can accomplish a lot. I think he has a good chance of achieving this. But the poster claimed he doesn’t fail which isn’t true. Everyone fails at times.
@@papapronator2476 he claimed he would break the record in 2020 & he broke it in 2020. Fuck you mean 4 years? He did not say he would break it back in 2016
@@stokiemanbrent4200 he said in 2017 he would break the record. You can find articles on him talking about it as well as old videos. You simply don’t know and I’m not going to argue with someone who is ignorant on the situation.
I mean just look at his 460 squat. He literally had AT LEAST 20-30kgs more in him if it wasn't for the depth
Thor is more than capable of breaking the record especially when he puts the effort in
He would have to be squatting around 485, benching around 265 and deadlifting around 430. It’s gonna be really hard but he is gonna move some serious weight regardless
Plusses for Thor are resources, support, time and body type. He doesn't have to work a full time job and train when he's tired. He can afford the best food, best trainers and training partners, best physio and body work, best supplements and doctors, bloodwork therapies etc. He has a huge fan base supporting him as well as friends and family. Finally he is known as the mountain for a reason. He has a huge frame that can lift massive weights and that mad Viking spirit to push through the pain. I believe that only injuries would prevent him from having a darn good chance of achieving his goal.
If someone can do it i would put my money on Haftor 1000% also i think his bench wil get significanty better
People are forgetting the skill aspect of the powerlifting...
Thor has never specialised in powerlifting for longer than lime 6 weeks so if he gets close to his peak raw strength he can close the gap even further through skill pra time especially on the bench and Squat
No chance? Whoever said that must not know Thor very well.
Deffo has a shot but in the timeframe mentioned its a _tall_ order. Taller than Thor himself tbh.
Some roid ego kid named shane hunt said that "he have no chance and never did" kiddo must be smoking crack or just an jealous eddie fanboy cause Hafthor was very close to 1140 and thats like 4th overall so he have a big chance
If the 460kg Squat was a miss then I have never done a Squat in my life.
I would heavily recommend against underestimating Thor.
Takes time to improve your grip. It's a decisive factor in powerlifting- not a small limiting factor imo.
He can try hook, fingers are long enough. If he can get a very secure hook grip he is pulling a 1000 Raw. But easier said than done
We've seen this with Jamal. A year or so ago, he hit 1000 with straps and sumo. Now he's doing it no straps and conventional
@@rgagregreThis is basically asking for 0 rom sumo strap deadlifts
@rgagregre As a fan and old powerlifter I totally agree with you.
I was always sad seeing strong people getting beated by less stronger guys just because they was put into this world with small hands.
Who cares how strong they are in their hands, this is powerlifting!
Only people who feels threaten would think otherwice.
@@markuschampos5750 if your hands are weak you are weak.
Strongmen dont usually train benchpress...like at all.
I think he had a chance to get close to it in a couple of years maybe, perhaps into the mid 1100, but if he wants to get back into strongman also next year it will probably need more time to go for it
Please join us to see him training live, Every Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, 1.00 pm GMT (sometimes 10.00 am GMT) via Twitch livestreams.
The highlight of his power lifting numbers were from him doing a competition on like 3 weeks of training. Of course he was at a high point overall in his strength but he had no focus on powerlifting, and he wasn't far off the total then. He absolutely can do it, if he stays healthy and has the grip to hold a 1000lbs deadlift, he could do it.
Thor could squat 1050 or so raw imo. That depth was a call by a crackhead. Sheiko was sick that day
People underestimating how much more difficult a walkout can be.
Thor was still dealing with Bells Palsy during that meet which was a big factor for his grip. That 460 being called for depth is ridiculous. Thor has a great shot, it seems like his power is coming back quickly and with his conditioning being so high I feel like he can reach top end strength much more quickly. The biggest question is how much weight he will put on. To fill out his frame for powerlifting I honestly think 460lbs+ is needed but he might not need to reach that weight to still break the record
Did he get the VAXX?
Bells palsy is a condition of nervus facialis, the 7th cranial nerve, and it only affects the muscles on either side of the face. Bells palsy has 0 effect on grip.
@@IsmonHimoPKOwnage Thor suffered nerve damage that affected his grip as well, maybe it was separate from the palsy
@@maxgamesst1 sounds very reasonable
LOL. Thor basically squatted 460 fairly confident already, with like 2 months prep?!. Didn't get it because of depth but that's a questionmark. He will probably be ready for 450kg deadlift and has a year of full focus for all this. I have no doubts about this man.
If he does this, he will be doubtlessly the strongest man who ever lived
Ever lived ?
@@jbb66 Ever lived
@Matthew Burger lol ok.
@@jbb66 No some guy born 2,000 years ago with improper nutrition was not stronger than hafthor bjornson, and if he both has all of the major strongman totals and the total record there wouldn’t really be any other metrics of strength he isn’t the best at.
@Matthew Burger Dude he has such an uphill battle to make that record. Has to gain all of his weight back plus he will need to bump his totals up and on top of that get all lifts in meet setting.
No one is talking 2000 years ago lol
Thor can definitely do it. His squat was not in a monolift. He walked his squat out from the rack which is a huge difference and... World's Strongest Men do not tend to ever train Bench Press because that is never in Worlds Strongest Man. Usually mostly overhead log press movements including shoulders so surely he can definitely do it if he puts the time into it.
does anyone know what nike shoes he wears in squat video?
Only time will tell, but Thor is phenom among phenoms
"If he improves on squat and bench, deadlift will give him the edge when he has a better grip"
In other words, he needs to improve on everything
in other words, he's going to beat the record
correction at 0:40. 500kg is not 1002lbs, it's 1102lbs
Thor is allways serious never underestimate the mind set and power of thor 💪🏻
I think thor should probably give hook grip a go
He has time to try, last meet was minimal prep and hook grip is rarely if ever utilized in strongman. If he can get a secure hook grip and pull in that more efficient overhand position I think he hits 1000 on Deadlift. IF
before eddie did a 500kg dead thor himself said that it's not possible and later he did a 501kg dead i mean it's thor we are talking about
Thor will probably be at least 60/70kg behind Daniel when he gets to the deadlift. He can comfortably make that weight up if his grip strength allows, that is the huge question.
It would be great to see Thor work with Josh Bryant to get his bench way past 600lbs.!
He'll come very close or even break the WR. I can see Thor benching 300kg even if he didn't really ever train that lift due to being a strongman. He can definitely surpass Dan's squat considering the 1014lbs squat Thor did even though it was a missed lift due to depth. So, the strength is definitely there. As far as the deadlift goes he will smash it with ease.
300kg bench for Thor? No chance xd
i agree
Agree 300kg bench 460 squat and 440kg deadlift . For a 1200kg total
Yeah, he has overhead pressed nearly 220kgs (strongman style which is way less leg centric) and has benched 260kgs without any specific focus in his career. People limit his progression in this lift based on what other powerlifters can gain in a year, but we are talking about a Thor here that hasnt fine tuned or trained specifically for this yet. His lifts will get big and fast. The other thing people forget is his frame is huge, he was 160kgs with abs ... I fully expect him to take the power lifting record. Strongmen like him are a different level of human.
@@marcintrybus7092how did you come up with the logic for this statement? He benched 250kg without ever focussing on it for an extended period.
Hafthor is loterally closest person we have to nordic gods , so he will
I think this is his way of making his world record deadlift matter...in a lot of people's eyes. Some people think it still does not count. Then to break another record at the same time...seems like a decent idea.
@lifting vault there is a typo for daniels squat... 500 kg-1002 lb but 500kg is 1200
That video of Daniel squating the number in the top left is off. It says 500kg/1002lbs it should be 1102lbs. Man's a squatting monster.
WSM and PL title? I'll be looking forward to this
Only Don Reinhoudt and Bill Kazmaire had done, but now the equation is completely different. Back in the day they were Powerlifters who tried this new TV show called the WSM. But now we're have different specialists in both sports.
100% he will do it.
Last time someone told Thor he couldn't do it he ended on the mat ground and losing a head to head fight against him.
I think a lot of powerlifters are salty that someone who has been retired for years and only competed in powerlifting once could come along and break the record theyre all chasing
On squat there's a typo, 500 kg is 1102 lbs not 1002 lbs
Dude's name is Thor and he can absolutely break that record.
I don't think Thor can do it in the timeline he set for himself, which is later this year. But perhaps late next year i think he could. He needs to bring up his bench, and just work on the deadlift grip.
I think thor will do it. He has squatted over 1000 lbs. When he was training for the Arnold's he nearly completed a 330 lb dumbbell with one arm over head. He will easily be able to bench 660, maybe more. If he gets his deadlift back to 85% of what it was then he will break it without to much of a problem. Thor is the strongest person to ever live.
hey man, is it possible for you to lower the bass a little in your voice recording audio? It's incredibly loud at low volume, at least for me.
love the videos! not hating at all, thank you for everything you do!
These powerlifters are so arrogant, they rly think their records are untouchable. If it were any old guy, yeah sure, makes sense. But, this is thor, potentially one of the greatest lifters in strength sports. Hes never even done a full prep for a week, 6 weeks as any powerlifter knows is not even a peaking cycle. Amazing the level of arrogance, no surprise coming from dan bell though.
I remember people saying a 400lb Tyson fury couldn't become a world champion ever again.
When the world's sports elite, decide to hyper focus on a goal, anything is possible
I wonder how high he can go on deadlift with grip being his only limitation here it could be very interesting. Dont think we will se much more than the 460kg if at all in squad and bench very much depends on how much he trained the lift for his past meets. Even with 460 and a 260 bench he would need to put up an incredible 462,5 deadlift. I can see him getting 440 but there would still be 22,5 kg to get with the other 2.
Minimum 480 squat will be there. Don't have any doubts on that.
Never count out Thor when he says he's going to do something strength related. He won't stop until he gets it.
Daniel literally only trains powerlifting, if he came to strongman he wouldn't come close to finals. Thor had a short prep for his meet and still put up huge numbers, if he trained only powerlifting he would be the record holder. Strongmen don't train bench and rarely squat.
Everytime I’ve doubted something Thor says he’s gonna do he’s proved me wrong. I won’t make the same mistake this time.
Thor trained for 1 training block for that comp and these were the numbers he put up, already pretty close! he is now taking a full year to train you really want to tell me he doesn’t have a chance, unlike a lot or talkers Thor actually backs up his words.
1:50 man just turned to a tomato💀
He might not break it, its a near-impossible goal indeed.
That said, Thor KNOWS that, his isnt any guy chasing a world record, he has a bunch of world records in his belt right now, including the 501kg deadlift.
Also, Thor knows better than anyone what his body is capable of and how fast his body is able to gain in this period of time, and, considering he always achieve his goals (the ones that he made public at least), I would think twice before saying that Thor has NO chance of anything when he put his mind into it.
That’s a great way to motivate him to do so
I'm no Thor fan,but to say he has no chance when (at the time he did his meet) he did his first meet in over a decade with very little sustained training and hit the top 10 all time list is just silly. He and Hicks both are more than capable of doing it with sustained PL training. However, Thor has two monsters standing in his way of that feat with Dan and Jesus(who I think will own the ATWR very soon).
Jesus doesn't do wraps tho. Different record. Jesus is raw raw
@@hairyape_8103 That's right! Good point
Don’t disrespect my boy Dan like that, 200lbs at that level is immense and Thor is a shadow of his former self
Strong words Shane... While i agree that 200 lbs is a lot and he has little chance of breaking the record in so little time, i really don't think Thor is a has-been. He looks very hungry and his strength is progresing very rapidly. So, who knows... Also, Dan's 500 kg squat looks higher than Thor's redlighted 460 kg one. I for one, give him 1 chance in 5.
People doubt him and yet he comes to show people he can do what he sets his sight to. If he won't beat it. He sure will be very close to it and still proves he is a freak of nature and with short training. He can come close to it or beat it
Curious if he will be putting on more bodyweight
I think Eddie Hall could've taken the raw overall record at his peak. Thor was a better "strongman" simply because so many events require agility and are timed etc. As far as pure static strength Eddie was unmatched overall imo. He also had a way better bench than any strongman competitor. That added to his deadlift and massive squat; with training for powerlifting would've had a great chance at taking the record
I think his squat and deadlift are capable of being where they need to be but I'm not sure he can add enough to his bench to set a new WR.
Eddie : well if he can then surely i can?
I'm not a big Thor fan, but I know if he gets back to the grind of training and focuses on these lifts, he has a legitimate chance! He was a good all-around strongman that had to divide his training up for so many different motions and muscles. In strongman they train yokes, farmer's carry, sled pulling, overhead lifts (one and two arm variations), dead lifting, atlas stones, stone carry, squat for reps, keg or bag throwing, truck/heavy machinery pulling, and many more! His genetics are almost unfair, and he was able to be really good at all events, despite not focusing solely on any of them except deadlift, I'm sure.
I personally don’t want him to. I think it’s going to take years off his life and he has a nice family now. Lifting a “weight” for us or yourself will never be as important as you are to your family.
1000 squat, 1010 dead, 600 bench as targets.
Daniel's squat seems a bit high anyone got a better angle
Yeah I agree all his squats look a bit high to me. But idk im not a judge
@@hairyape_8103 yeah but every lift should be held to the same standard especially a record
It's what happens when lifters like that exist in a vacuum. Nobody squats as heavy as he does, thus he doesn't get judged by the same standard because people find the lift too impressive. Judges are biased and incapable of impartial judging. It's a joke.
He has to do lika Bench Squat 470 kg, Bench 280 kg and Deadlift 435. It's within his reach I believe
the thing about Thor that some normies may hate him is that he always say something so bold and straightforward about some big deal. me myself is wanna one of the guy that underestimate him .... back then. But one thing for sure, we can't never count out his determination, if he want it ... he can get. And if he dont, he is still got a best raw and brute strength for the more strongman needs. He's just natural brute force.
I wouldn't underestimate Thor. Look at Thor in 2019/2020. Who thought that guy would go on the have great cardio, and actually being able to do some boxing?
Thor is an amazing athlete, and I would also like to see what he can do overhead, those shoulders are STRONG!
Thor got robbed on that 460 squat. It was far deeper than anything Dan has ever done
Yes the 460 Squat was a daylight robbery. I have seen many shallower squats getting white lighted.
Thor peak powerlifting strenghth...
1.Deadlift 480-500kg
2.Squat 460-480kg
3.Bench 280kg
If Thor could put up these numbers in one meet he would smoke the record.
And i dont think this is overly unrealistic as Thor really hadn't prepped for the few meets he had much.
And he never trained like a powerlifer...I fell if he consistently trained as a powerlifter for a year and a half...He got it
Have faith anyone can do anything they put there mind to
Thor talked a big game without realizing the sheer gap in PR's he would need just to tie it, and at a lighter BW. He may have squatted the 460 despite the red lights, but he needs another 40 kg just to tie. Bell is built way better for the squat. Thor will need to far exceed his bench PR, something that's an obvious weakness from the other two lifts. That's 50 lbs right there just to tie. With the deadlift, he'll have to really try to put distance between Bell's deadlift and his own. I think grip is the only issue. He could probably do 430 kg before he peaks on grip, idk, maybe 435. Realistically, he'll get the number 2 spot, because number 2 and on are way behind Bell, and I think Thor can sit comfortably between 1st and 2nd. I think he'll get around 2546.75 lbs/1,155.5 kg (460/265.5/430) which would put him square in 2nd. Jesus Olivares is also another one that is climbing the ranks this year. He could realistically get up there with Thor because of his squat and bench as well.
Edit: Hook grip, I think he could do 440 kg.
when thor was at his peak he did a comp and squatted 450 and pulled 410 with minimal training, he has a chance, it just depends how long hes willing to go for it
That thumbnail looks scary with that big dude behind him like he’s about to eat him
Your note at the top left corner at 0:39 says "500 kg/ 1002 lbs", I think it is supposed to be "500 kg/1102 lbs".
I think the guy has insane work ethic and genetics. No reason he cant. He is still young enough.
I think he should just hook grip .. pain tolerance won't be an issue for him.. and it takes grip strength out the equation
We gotta get Thor on that hook grip!
Here before Mud Cat starts bitching
You're going to feel rather red faced when thor achieves it
He was still training strongman when he did powerlifting
I'm not saying thor doesn't have chance, I'm saying the chance is very small. If he does end up pulling it off, it'll probably take a lot longer than he is hoping for. Don't expect to see him back in strongman anytime soon
The guy with the world record deadlift doesn't have a chance.....?! Can someone explain the smooth brain thought process there. He's 34, peak age for strength, people think just because he slimmed up for boxing he's weak now
If anyone is capable of doing it… it is Thor. He has 1 in a million genetics, he currently holds the world record deadlift, he is well more than capable than squatting as much as bell, I think I’m gonna put my money where my mouth is and having Thor beat it.
You will be richer in December. Great decision.
Wow i actually thought he was way further away from the records than he is.
