Let's not forget that there is a 7 year gap between the two shawn and thor. This is very significant in the strongman world.

That’s what happens when Thor and Larry wheels train together #PR

[@DonnieBrasco-dy9yd]

Larry had zero to do with it...

[@Karemaker]

Larry is definitely benefiting more than Hafthor, but yes, you're right, he's a top level training partner to have for sure. And now we've seen them BOTH bleed from massive lifts lol ( Larry chest, Hafthor forehead )

[@ArtfulWanderings]

@@Karemaker Agree.Last larry video with thor they discussed there different way of deadlift

[@Karemaker]

Cool - I think Larry has a bright future in strongman if he makes it his main focus. Strongman / powerlifting is way more rewarding than bodybuilding IMO. He has so much athleticism that it'd be a waste to just be a bodybuilder.

"welcome to the stage... Martins LIKUS." -Mark Henry

[@Slash1066]

Incredible workout motivation these guys give me, when Thor lifts something so heavy his face bleeds you can't moan about going to the gym. I'm convinced he would have had that 501kg lift if his sock had not slipped on the wooden floor, he had it up and moving, the hardest part, he just needed to straighten up. He has 500kg in him now for sure.

[@Saskatchetooner]

I’m glad for that. Have you ever watched the Stoltman brothers? They are grand 🇨🇦

[@Redstar19791979]

My back went out watching this.

[@HumanMechanism]

Man, the dredges of ignorance in some of these posts... My heart rate was a steady 120 bpm watching this event live. It was enthralling. I was sad to see Jerry, Caron and Brian all with Hammy issues. I know Caronand Jerry weren't 100% but Brian was super psyched this year with no injuries and that 1045lb lift fucked his left hamstring, you can see it pretty clearly. Even with that said, he still PR's on lift 2! Caron may be out but Jerry and Brian are absolute warriors and will plow ahead on day 2 with no excuses. Also, many props to Thor for risking life and limb for the 500kg lift despite being a clear front runner to win the top overall prize! It just goes to show how crazy Eddies lift was at Giants Live- and if somebody mentions his singlet being the deal breaker for lifting over 1100 lbs then they can eat a bag of dicks; that 500kg conventional bar lift is among the greatest physical feats in human history.
