Back in the game my man Thor. So proud of you all the way from Norway

[@DavidVirtanen]

🇮🇸🇳🇴💙❤️💪🏻💪🏻

[@copyRtest1]

Half brain may be a thuggish imbecile but God damn he loves the sport and works hard. Cant believe he's going to put his life on the line and gear up again. Credit is due where it is deserved! A phenomenal athlete both mentally and physically

[@user-cg8ev1vo3n]

In the UK he's known as a "sore loser", which can be roughly translated to "little nob head".

[@TheKurama9]

It's funny that you say all the way from norway. Aren't you their closest neighbour lol

[@liamc7097]

Thor is back doing Strongman, Runar is filming him again, balance has been restored in the universe

[@EmilBBechGrip]

Runar behind the camera, Thor training for ASC, this brings back memories 😁

[@wasim.j]

Just need 'employ of the month' back and it'll be like the good old days

[@MsStevo2000]

He made 400 look fairly easy and smooth at this part of his training. I don't think anyone will be able to beat him at the elephant bar deadlift or even come close

[@Wxpt1010]

Mitch is in dream land if he thinks he's beating Thor on elephant bar. It's Thor's event, just like yoke is Mitch's event.

[@bruh-tk2bo]

I don’t think he’s gonna be close enough to 100% to straight up blow away the competition. I’m sure he’ll still be up there near or over 1000 lbs tho

[@Wxpt1010]

@@bruh-tk2bo Just watch the progress, we've seen this before. He gains strength faster than anyone. This will be a speed rep in 1 months time

[@MsStevo2000]

@@bruh-tk2bo after 12 weeks of training and hitting 1000lb will give him top 3 guaranteed. Last year he would have won it with anything over 990. He does not need to be at his all time best to blow away the competition in terms of the deadlift. Several guys competing at the Arnold's in 2024 can't even lift 400 on the elephant bar or it's their max.

[@BloachismStrengthandFitness]

@@Wxpt1010 Yeah Thor always keeps a lot in the tank in his training. I admire his patience.

[@cameronearls6497]

Absolute beast. Glad to see you're progressing so fast after your injury, Thor.

[@stoneeh]

Yeah, progressing real fast is how he got injured in the first place. You would think it would have been a learning experience.

[@cameronearls6497]

@@stoneeh it’s called Muscle memory buddy. Chill

[@stoneeh]

@@cameronearls6497 holy shit. This may be the most brainless thing I've ever read. Haha. Muscle memory is actually the problem. You rebuild muscle that you once had fast, but your tendons and ligaments grow much slower, and those are the weak points and get injured. As it happened with his pec injury, which occured when he re-gained strength too fast are an extended break from strength sports from it via his boxing career. I suspect even if you knew though, you would still be cheering him on. That's how you fair weather friend types operate. When everything is well, you're here to cheer and share the limelight. When things turn sour, it wasn't your fault, and you disappear as quick as a roach under a rock. True garbage human beings.

[@Jonse70]

​@cameronearls6497 has nothing to do with muscle memory. And the previous comment is spot on. Tendons and ligaments require a much longer time to get as strong as the more softer tissue (muscles) For example, when you rip a muscle of a bone...

Stoked to have the training videos back! Looking forward to seeing your progress over the next few months

I missed your training videos very much. Glad to see you back so strong after your injury. We are looking foreward to see your progression to the Arnolds

Glad you are back! Missed these crazy deadlift videos! These videos always hype me up! Gonna go to the gym and pull some crazy weights now!

[@melvinbengtsson8652]

Really enjoyed the Arnolds 2020 prep series you did, it was the peak of KZbin for me. Truly happy to see you back in preparation and posting on YT.

[@LudoLaagland17]

Let's go Thor!! I've been following you since your early wsm competitions. If anyone can pull it off it's you.

[@joshsmith82819]

Thor it genuinely seems like you have the ability to come back stronger than ever before. That you could beat your deadlift WR, the all time record, and win many titles in strongman again. Seriously I think you have what it takes to be the best ever. You've responded well to your injury and it's all very impressive. I'd love to see you smash all the records big boy. I'm 145kg but I'll never be as big as you, I'm only 1/3 as strong as you, probably more like 1/4

[@fredmann5019]

Good to see you back close to your old form. Can't wait to watch the next few comps

[@Compassiron1]

Good luck Thor. Inspiring journey mate

[@moosewild4239]

We've been waiting for this ever since you made lifting 501kg look like you could've still gone a step beyond that. Keep pushing yourself Thor! You're inspiring people all over the world to improve themselves, and your feats give us motivation to keep going!

[@spyhunter775577]

I know this isn’t the popular opinion, but I feel like Thor should treat this first competition like his “opener” at a powerlifting meet. Keep everything at 95%. If he aims for 5th place overall instead of podium, it will be so much safer and still make a huge statement. He’s such a freak, it’s all about risk management. If he just stays injury free for an extra year, he’s 1st or 2nd in every competition again.

[@tcharzanek1436]

Getting very exited to see you compete again

[@jungalist10]

Good luck and all the best Thor!

[@Dudeiculas]

Glad your back 😊

[@arthurblackhistoric]

Fantastic to see things going so well for you Hafthor! Still, fight the urge to jump over some workouts because the previous one felt too light and not challenging enough. I think you are mature enough not to do that, but I caution against it just the same. Best of luck with your training, and I hope and pray that you don't suffer any injuries. The Arnold title is yours for the winning if you don't hurt yourself in the lead up to it.

[@MetalMonkVideos]

Awesome! I'd love to see you and Martins again.

[@smuir6104]

I like watching the training. Just the simple stuff. I like seeing the progression. It is interesting to see how some of the form has gone, at least on the first couple of reps, but then by the final set, it looks fluid again. It will be interesting to see how it all comes back, since you were the master of good form before. Also I have had a bunch of surgeries this year and feel like I am starting over with strength, so it will be interesting to see how you come back, and build up.

[@CraigNiel]

Have to admit, it was enjoyable watching the training for boxing and powerlifting etc but these are the videos I enjoy the most, proper strongman training. You just can't beat it! This is the first video of you I have watched since the Shaw podcast and that's where I learnt the terrible news, I hope you and the family are healing ok. All the best man. p.s. Is Eddie Hall paying your training partners to put you off (chair fall) while you deadlift? 🤣🤣

[@Jack000222]

Out of all the strongmen that I'm a fan of, you are forever #1! Cant wait to see you compete again, literally considering a trip to the Arnolds this year to see the lineup. So stoked!
