  • In 2016, Eddie Hall made history by becoming the first man to ever deadlift 500kg. In 2023, the bar has been raised even higher.
    Graham Hicks has been touted as a serious contender to pull 505 in 2023- does he truly believe he's up to the task? Not always known as a big deadlifter, he pulled 1000lbs in 2022 and hopes 2023 will be the year he takes it out of sight.
    There's $55,000 on the line. Will anyone do it?

    Big fan of Hicksy but I don't think he's there yet. 502 seems more realistic. I hope he proves me wrong, to come from an undersized man to where he is now is an incredible feat of its own, big respect to him. I dont think anyone has 505 in them besides prime Thor or Eddie at this current moment

    It sound cliché, but Eddie still doesn't get the adequate recognition and respect he deserves from the greater public. All of this 505 talk is ALL thanks to Eddie being the one to break the mould and show the world that 500 was possible. There was no one even close before Eddie. Now, thanks to his influence on the sport, there's not a single person with there eyes set on "only" 500. Everyone wants the 505, because Eddie showed them that those heights were possible.

    • @michaelreid194

      @kevinedw2002 Рік тому

      I think a lot of people (Thor fans in particular) forget just how big a barrier it is to be the first to break such a record. Look at how wrecked Roger Bannister was when he broke the 4min. mile, but once this psychological barrier had been broken, such times became commonplace within a very short time

      Still puzzled why Thor didn't go for it first if he had it in him.
      According to the comments not long after his lift there was a lot of people saying he had more in the tank, so if he was confident going 1kg more he really should've set the bar higher and made a serious statement by being the first to do 505 kgs, why he didn't is anyone's guess.

    What we are witnessing is very close to the limit of what a human can deadlift. Eddie Hall nearly killed himself at 500 kg.
