@Hafthorjulius I’ve messaged before !! Get that peck tear repair scanned for current condition before the next huge lift ….. Piece of mind mate …. Great video big man 😎👍
@@dewildeworld6766 I also saw your concerns in another comment. It's literally impossible to satisfy all the fans. Everyone's choices are different. So since you are here for Hafthor, he did a 455 (1,003) raw deadlift, a 160 (353) tacky free Atlas stone to shoulder and a 195 (430) behind the bar static hold for grip for a comfortable 16.8 seconds all in one session. Nobody else on this planet, past or present can do all that in a single training session. That's great value for tuning in, in my opinion.
Hey Hafthor, I'm an 855lb deadlifter myself and you are my hero brother! You are the only human on this planet who can make 1000 look so casual and easy!
The hype is real for the Arnold's!!!! Good luck @hafthorjulius !! Love the videos. If you did a live video for your next heavy elephant bar pull I bet you would have an absurd amount of people tuning in.
@@Nirsterkur also make a point thor's raw 480 is on an elephant bar, same with eddie's 465. On a standard bar raw (not strapless, raw) thor pulled 458 and Eddie pulled 450
Biggest takes from the video: a) THE BIG ONE: Thor smashed 455KG deadlift 5-6 weeks before comp, wich is great. He is going for 501KG. b) Thor is aimin to put on more mass aswell. c) This year will be more competitive according to Thor. d) Thor says the elephat bar deadlift is harder and brought the most compelling points to why. e) For Thor 5 weeks more of prep is "a lot actually" love it. f) Training the rest of the events this year has gone better for the big man aswell and looking forward for the pressing. g) Thor mauling atlas stones to his chest and shoulder, still felt fatigued, wonder why.
As far as G goes i'd say it's a combination of two things, He is in His mid 30s now and recovery is a bit slower, but also pulling over 1000lbs in a deadlift will tank your nervous system pretty hard. He's looking amazing though and I can't wait for this competition!
I hope Thor pulls 501, but one thing is bothering me is that before ASC 2020, at this time he pulled 433 X2, then 2 weeks later 455 X2 then 480. Since some calculations say 433 X2 is equivalent to 460 and he pulled those two reps very easily, it seems he is slightly behind compared to 2020. I would be happy to be wrong.
@@aaaaaaaaaa657Most calculators would give you something like 440 to 445 KG range. He would probably do 465 or so back in the day with much effort, more effort than here. Thor easily had about 460-465 if he really wanted. So he is in good track.
You can be an Icelander, an American, an Englishman or from anywhere in the world. Everybody is rooting for you Hafthor! 501 "Raw" is impossible, but if there is anyone who can do it it is YOU!
That is the King of the thumbnails right there, and Massive Congratulations King Hafthor on your *19th* 1,000 pounder!!! And also your 138th 900 pounder!! (900-999 which I have personally counted/ excluding the >1,000s). The road to *the Greatest lift in history* is going well, and you got this Hafthor! I 100% believe in you and also fully understand that even at 'your standards', how much of a challenge it is to do it Raw!! Hilmar's deadlifting just got to the next level with that awesome gift and Holy Mackerel, the editing in this video is totally awesome, big shoutout to Birkir!
Eddie once said elephant bar should not count since it helps tall athletes like Brian and Hafthor. But with that argument whatever the bar he used should not count since it helps "shorties" like him lol
Eddie is just a fool. I mean guy with common sense can see that whether u r tall or short, the fact is that elephant has a whip, the taller u r, the more disadvantage it is to u because the greater the whip. And even with that disadvantage thor holds a world record on elephant bar. Otherwise why didnt eddie come close to even 450kg on elephant bar.
@@UsamaHakeem-m2m That fool got his ass handed to Thor in the boxing ring, got a tattoo saying Thor is the strongest man on his body. I do not understand why his followers still try to spam Thor's videos, or they probably just want some interaction.
Thor I saw someone say that mobility (possibly hip or thoracic mobility) might be the reason you can't use your legs on log. Do you have the Icelandic coach Haraldur helping you with your log press at all?
The video’s of the elephant bar deadlift, shows quite easily why it’s harder. It’s more technique related than a normal deadlift bar due to the whip. It separates smooth excellent technique from 90% good technique.
Incredible strength, Thor will surely win the deadlift! But why does it look like the pulls feel much heavier compared to last year, I dont really understand the reason for that?
Im curious when Halfthor did the 501 kg deadlift, how big his chest, neck and biceps were? He was so thick i wouldnt be scared to say he had a 70 inch chest back then. I know he weighed 208 kg then which is roughly around 458 lbs or so. He looked like the definition of absolute unit on that day.
Interesting that you get more leg involvement when you press behind the head. With five more training weeks to go you look ready to break your deadlift record.
Dear Hafthor, the 4th attempt happened before: in 2017 ASC, but these were the circumstances: Jerry's 447 (986) was his 3rd lift and Brian's 449 (991) was his 3rd lift, and Jerry broke the WR in his 4th lift with the 467.5 (1,031) but it was not counted for the full comp. Brian's 3rd attempt 449 (991) won the deadlift event and Jerry was 2nd with his 447 (986). But, please reconfirm with ASC team, I just wanted to let you know that a WR was counted before in a 4th attempt in the ASC itself.
His prep for 2018 stopped at abour 440KG deadift 2 weeks out comp mate. This is 15 KG heavier. Also, Thor was heavier at that point already. If you are thinking 2019 though, it´s not comparable cause he did 473 Kg also 2 weeks out, he never did something like 455 5 - 6 weeks before comp
@@antoniocenteno1483 I probably mean his 2019 prep then. When he prepared for the 501. That 473 flew up like it was nothing . His the 455 and 440 this year looked like he’d barely make it. Just hope he can make it this year and smash that 505 record in a comp to shut all the the haters up. But fearing this year might be one year too early to attempt it. Maybe he needs another year to get back to his best
@DialSquare-r2l People were saying the same thing in all of his preps last year and he won all 4 max deadlifts he did on his 2nd attempt. Thor knows how to peak. In a couple of weeks he'll do a big lift and 1000lbs will fly no problem. The Arnold isn't for five weeks, relax.
Not only does this guy hold the world record for deadlift with elephant bar (raw with standard straps) he got 1. , 2. And 4. Heaviest lift with it , 3. Place being Jerry Pritchett and 5. being Eddie Hall
You are spon on! 1. Hafthor Julius Bjornsson 474.5 (1,046) 2. Hafthor Julius Bjornsson 472 (1,041) 3. Jerry Pritchett 467.5 (1,031) 4. Hafthor Julius Bjornsson 465.5 (1,026) 5. Eddie Hall 465 (1,025)
Don’t risk attempting a deadlift of 501 kg unless you have a NICE PAYOUT whether you’re successful or not. You don’t wanna risk losing the competition due to possible injury or physical exhaustion. Ask Arnold or Rogue to host a competition with a couple events aimed at simply breaking records.
So was the fatigue from the efforts today or do you need to deload? 5 more weeks of work would sound daunting to me if I felt like I needed a deload lol
Deadlift with elephant bar takes longer before the full weight is from the ground. On the other hand it is more prone to feel unstable, or swinning like. That is why i would think it is easier, while understanding the extra difficulty the flexibility brings with it.
With regards to the argument of Elephant bar being easier- it is if you're pulling raw on both bars. Deadlift bar is harder RAW, but if you're pulling with a suit on deadlift bar vs raw on the elephant bar, then the elephant bar is harder
that 455 looked hard tho, ive seen you pull 475 in the gym with larry and that looked way easier than this! but hopefully you will be back in that shape!
455kg Strongman raw elephant deadlift. Road to 501kg

Remember to go without socks at the Arnold!! Don't want a repeat of 2019 when your foot slipped
True!
He needs to see this..
Trueeeee
Wonder how well grip socks would do actually but probably should just get himself a pair of nice deadlift slippers.
@@larskk101 He knows this. In the Arnold´s 2020 he ditched the socks and so he did for the 501 and the leading road
Danke!

@@John.J_Stud64 Right??? It's 455kg ffs!! Make it look hard at least, thor!🤣 Only a handful of ppl in the world able to even lift that weight.
Eddies 500kg wasn't weighed. Nobody confirmed that he actually lifted that. Thor is the first CONFIRMED 500+ kg
855lbs DL is an insanely heavy pull...hats off to you as well
I would argue that benedikt magnussons raw 1015 lift was the greatest ever so far. I believe it was 1015. The way he lifted that was otherworldly.
@@John-jt5vdhope that's a joke
I'm always amazed that if Hafthor able yo start move the bar off the ground it just moves all the way, his lock out power is crazy
Because his technique is great (as his strength of course).
Yep , he had no problem locking out 501 either while Eddie never properly locked it out
We are fortunate to have lived in the same time as this monster! It's a treat to see you train Thor!
Thor I'm flying from Italy to see you do it ,all the very best !!

Don’t risk attempting a deadlift of 501 kg unless you have a NICE PAYOUT whether you’re successful or not. You don’t wanna risk losing the competition due to possible injury or physical exhaustion. Ask Arnold or Rogue to host a competition with a couple events aimed at simply breaking records.
Will you still be looking to do a 505-510 equipped pull against Mitch some time after the Arnold’s?
So was the fatigue from the efforts today or do you need to deload? 5 more weeks of work would sound daunting to me if I felt like I needed a deload lol
Oreb likes lots of deloads

Nice, get it🔥
I was wondering where the deadlift for this week was lol
Just me or the elephant bar look like a normal bar in Thor's hands ?
9:15 because they lift the normal bar with a suit. Normal without suit is harder than elephant bar without suit.
hell yeah!
Having fun with Hilmar 👍
With regards to the argument of Elephant bar being easier- it is if you're pulling raw on both bars. Deadlift bar is harder RAW, but if you're pulling with a suit on deadlift bar vs raw on the elephant bar, then the elephant bar is harder
