      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
