Let's see what it takes to reach 400 pounds! 💪🏻

[@Jack000222]

Hell yea! That would be amazing!

[@TheVanillatech]

Half a cow in the morning, 60 buckets of Skyr for lunch, 5 baby aligators on toast for supper.

I am truly inspired by your drive I am 59 years old delt with cancer and a brain stem stroke three months ago. You encourage me to keep lifting weights and getting back what I had before all of these problems. If you ever come to Arizona I would love to meet you and shake your hand. I enjoy watching all of your videos would love to see your current diet.

I'd love for him to pull over 500kg again in the future in competition. Just to silence any doubts people have. Hes a machine keep up the good work champ.

[@nephos100]

That's coming.

[@thearm95]

yep hoping he makes a run at it

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

He already did it in competition. It was an official WUS event. It's on their website. And he was held to standard Strongman rules, while Eddie wasn't. I'm tired of this argument. Thor's lift was more official than Eddie's. Thor was set to standard rest time. Eddie had infinite. Thor didn't choose the platform. Eddie did. Thor didn't choose the bar. Eddie did. Thor didn't choose the weight inclines. Eddie did. So Thor's lift was more official. That's why Eddie's event made Brian Shaw not even want to compete and why Pritchett tore his hamstring because he went cold due to Eddie's 28 minute rest time (standard max is 15 minutes).

[@MoralesCorner]

​@@TheStraightestWhitesti agree with everything you just said but the first part. It was not a competition regardless of it being sanctioned and conducted as a competition lift. You know there's a lot of factors going into performing in the heat of competition versus lifting alone in your own gym. Still there was a reason why he did it being that the whole world was locked down, plus I think he would have pulled that record in a competition set up too. Thor was a mutant by the end of that prep

[@nephos100]

@@TheStraightestWhitest Good points. My view is that each lift by Eddie and Thor was legitimate. Each lifted in different circumstances, but each pulled their half ton off the floor successfully. If Eddie was given privileges on the day, I suppose it has to be forgiven. Just as Thor's lift was under conditions that are forgivable. I don't know the exact rules for which a lift is sanctioned as being acceptable, but from now on all lifts should be strictly governed so that such controversies are less likely. It is my estimation that Thor is coming back now in order to attempt something in excess of 501kg and to do it under proper conditions to confirm his place of supremacy.

[@Thulgore]

Wait?! What?!?!? Holy shitballs!!! I've never seen any strength athlete whose body can change quicker and so extreme as Hafthor.

[@baseddepartment1645]

His muscle memory is crazy. As long as he avoids injury he'll win

[@Kado1609]

he's been that big before so hes body remembers it wich probably makes it easier for him to get to that stage again... but yes its still fucking unbelievable🤣🤣🤣

[@bigvanvader3122]

​@baseddepartment1645 I'm the same way. I grow within months to what I was at my largest. I'd compete in bodybuilding, but the reason I don't is too embarrassing to share, even to faceless strangers.

We are witnessing the apex predator of humanity. Tristain Hoath is a pro strongman who recently won the Magnus Classic beating a world class lineup of 12 athletes and he failed 400 with a suit. The King, who tore his pec off the bone 8 months ago, ripped off 420 from the floor with no suit like nothing! He is the King for a reason!

World strongest man competition wasn’t the same without you in it. Happy to see you coming back to your true calling. They don’t call you the mountain for nothing.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

This man's strength increases are historically fast. He's literally known for it. Dude can shift 100lbs in his max in like two weeks of prep. Insane.

[@MoralesCorner]

That's that viking power. Plus the long break probably did wonders for him. Also he has such perfect leverages and technique in the DL, he's basically an industrial deadlift machine.

[@neilrobertson811]

Its amazing what modern steroids can do.

[@Nickname1001]

​@@neilrobertson811u can say exactly the same to all strongmen then

[@neilrobertson811]

@@Nickname1001 True, but some people still seem surprised at the rate these guys can gain muscle, as if they'd simply been eating a good diet and had regular gym sessions. A human simply can't get this strong naturally.

[@Nickname1001]

@@neilrobertson811 they also add bunch of supplements to their food i belive so its not just normal food and also genetics are playing a good role too since some people for example can eat just a little and gain weight while others can eat a lot and not gain much and at gym too some gain faster while others dont plus metabolism is a thing there are just lots of stuff that affects this
