435 would've been a world record up to 2011. Now it's a training weight. Insane...

[@bearstrengthwithin]

Indeed

[@dantethunderstone2118]

Raw it’s only a training weight for like 2 or 3 people in the world

[@um8778]

Imagine you're driving that those trucks in the background and a flying keg hits your windscreen

[@ShinoxSturmreiterDesTode]

😆

[@Nirsterkur]

Dear Hafthor, during a livestream about a couple of years ago or so, you asked from the chat what is the 15kg keg WR, and when you saw the answer as 7.75m (back then it was Brian's) your response was "Wow, that's High!" followed by a deep sigh... Incase if you ever forget, or feel low after a bad day, just remeber that you are Hafthor Julius Bjornsson! There is nothing you cannot do! Congratulations on this absolutely incredible throw! I don't think there's anyone else on earth who can throw a 15 kg keg over 8 metres. 100% you will break the WR at SMOE to clean-sweep all 3 keg for height WRs (12.5, 15 and 25kg). You got this! As for the Deadlift, should I say anything at all? This was absolutely phenomenal as usual and I can't wait for 2 more weeks to see your 16th One Thousand Pounder! This is Huge but the next one will be MASSIVE!! *"Strongest Man on Earth", how badly you want it, it's yours Hafthor, go get what is yours! Koma Svo!!*

[@IRONRIDER97]

Dear Nirmal Sir I ❤ your comments, they are really informative & Motivating

[@filiplofgren8023]

Is he going for 455 in 2 weeks? Seems like a big jump considering he is squatting very heavy also.

[@stallionthegermanshepard9097]

THOR POWER 🔥🦍

[@m.w.4508]

I fucking love that you're just in the outdoors doing this in front of fans and local children. That's true grassroots inspiration and the kind of awe inspiring feat that it is so, so desperately important for children to see with their own eyes. They have the world at their fingetips on their tablets and mobiles. Nothing keeps them entertained anymore. Seeing stuff like this going down on their doorstep in real life may give them their own drive to achieve something similar in their own life. Love it, Thor.

[@Nirsterkur]

100% agreed! Beautifully written.

[@sebastianpedersen8014]

[@judshuttie70]

His first 2 world records in one comp would be incredible

[@downtherabbithole1353]

8m is awesome! but weight over bar takes a lot of energy especially after setting World Record, 435 was stable and i know you have a gear or two more when needed, The Mountain is back!

Boy am I glad to see you back in strongman, it was boring without you.

[@xaviermitchell578]

Calling our sport boring isn't nice. Never been a fan of putting someone down to raise someone else up.

[@aeis3007]

Tom and Hooper kept it fun and a few other new guys. However, it's great to see one of the old guards back. Shaw leaving left a gap and Thor is the best I can think to fill it (was sad when he lieft). He is one of the best ever and gives the newer guys the mountain they need to climb to become legends

[@Pidgeys]

[@NboOfficialAus]

So not only did you throw it higher but it weighed more crazy how that little boxing break probably let you recover and the end result will probably be a stronger Thor then ever.

[@Zihark_]

It looked like that first successful 7.8 throw would have definitely cleared 8 meters. Can't wait to see you smash it in comp 😎

[@DorlaVegas-cw2kz]

You will change the record with no problem. Can't wait.

[@daviddavies9996]

Light weight baby light weight 💪💪💪 Thor is back hell yeah 👌👌

[@Freedom14All]

What a day, big man! Getting your mind right is priceless. The world record is going down. 💪

[@terranceharrison]

That was amazing

[@DorlaVegas-cw2kz]

I know you got it!

[@RubbishGimpy]

The distance that you need to pull that deadlift bar is the longest I've seen any strongman do. Hixxy and Rauno are shorter with smaller arms and must have a negative inch or two advantage over you.

[@Nirsterkur]

I have calculated Hafthor's ROM with this new narrow stance to be 27 inches, which is Enormous! As you said, nobody else has to pull it more than him when it comes to 400+ league.

[@agnidas5816]

that's why they keep putting in events which nullify height. which is ironic.

[@mikehamilton9984]

Looking good Thor

[@waldirgermano8964]

Tremeu até o telefone kkkk😂😂😂

[@keithwenger450]

Rooting for you at SMOE!

[@allanh5618]

Looking great! Keg tossing with heavier weights sounds wise, maybe ramp up heavier, then finish at/near competition weight/height each session. You'll be drained some before that event at the Shaw, so will need more reserve. Of course you know all that. Looking great!

[@DorlaVegas-cw2kz]

Looks fun 👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@DorlaVegas-cw2kz]

I love your knee story.

[@bagaskarahadjarputra6070]

back in the WSM 2011 Final, that 435 kg will consider to be both event win and a WR, now it's a day to day basis let alone for reps. Can't believe how much the athletes' deadlift improve over the last decade

[@WilliamPayneNZ]

It sounds crazy but regarding the back injury comment. As someone who has a back injury, going to the gym and lifting weights has been the best painkiller so far. The stronger your back muscles and core muscles are the less loading your spine takes.

[@DeadFrozeKorro]

Its crazy that Thor has never had a back injury

[@segka8536]

I always wondered, if people like him have chronic pain they just suppress or just have the luck to be free of these things. Of course they have sometimes pain and sometimes injuries as well, but seeing him deadlifting makes me faint.

[@Besotted85]

This is insane! This is not a man, this is a Mountain.

11:00 Yeah, me too. I usually listen to Iron Maiden casually when I'm training, but when it gets serious, I listen to the album Rasen by Orbit Culture and the first song, Svartport, really gets me going, as the name suggests.

[@VideoHostSite]

My dad used to watch Strongman with me, and we referred to the competitions as "fat guys throwing kegs over a wall". :) On a more serious note though- why not do it officially?

[@Hafthorjulius]

That is definitely the plan at Shaw Classic.

[@thebigcat8241]

You better warm up that back before the kegg toss. Very explosive movement into full extension with weight. I believe the reason could be there in the soreness. Keep up the good work; routing for you ath shaw classic.

[@mediaproof960]

Coming back to peak form. Once pressing is 100% it is hard to see u losing many shows.

[@hg_10sm68]

I hope the plan is still 455kg in 2 weeks? 🫡 It will fly up if you do deadlift first instead of keg toss
