280kg / 617lbs bench press Ft. GYM REAPER

I like how excited Thor was when telling Baker that he has 100 Kg Dumbells.

[@vebjsand]

I like the "how was that?" after 150 dumbbells in each hand, and Hafthor goes "I like it.". Almost as he was trying to befriend the weights and see if they're cool lmao.

I used to be very sceptical of Thor because I'm an Eddie Hall fan. Saying that he was much better prepared for the fight and was the rightful victor. His WR deadlift might not have been in competition but there's no arguing with fact he has deadlifted the most weight in history (to date). I've been impressed by his recent content and collabs. Keep up the positivity and set some new records on your return man. I hope the bad blood dissaptes and we see a collab in future. Two of the modern greats could probably learn a thing or two from each other.

Baker is a humble and strong guy. He should try strongman. idk about his other lifts but with that pressing power he would dominate every pressing events. We've seen powerlifters transition to the sport and they were adopted to it so quickly and well.
