Dear son Hafthor Julius, I drove 914 miles from Sioux Falls, SD with my two grandsons to watch you deadlift 1000 and despite requiring only 966 to win, you delivered us what we came for! God bless you my son, and congratulations!

[@coachmikaellaakso]

That’s great

[@mgu-vx4ib]

[@dean7968]

505kg raw is definitely possible based on the lift yeaterday. With a suit 520kg is 100%yours. No one will touch it

[@Ben_Chode_420]

The forklift is always winning this event 😂

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

A little optimistic. I think he maybe could've broken his record on the Elephant Bar here, but 505 here or otherwise wasn't there. I think one solid prep after a good deload could do it.

[@dean7968]

@a-a-rondavis9438 I said 505 is possible based on yesterday. I didn't mean that day, but he will definitely pull it raw this year if he wanted to

[@davidkosiba624]

I think he will definetly pull 500+ next Arnold, I think that will be his main goal, then maybe next year a standard record too with a suit

[@MollymaukT]

Shaw Classic might be the place to do it, it's in August so there's quite some prep-time, and Thor had hit 470kg in the elephant bar in training (which is harder than a conventional bar). There's a lot that can happen until then but 505 this year may be possible

[@ZenithAngel]

It's so disappointing that none of the new guys even challenge Thor on the deadlift . We could have seen a new Elephant Bar World Record

[@mrsensei8878]

Now that I think of it. The people from Thor his generation there where multiple people pulling more than 1000.

[@-robster-robster-]

Yesh would of been nice to push records but Its tactics They all know what others can realistically achieve , so no point using excess energy when they know their no where near thors figures and they keep their energy in the bank for next events. If mitch has pushed deadlift further he may not have been able to win the frame carry or even risk injury

[@MrKyly]

It's not a deadlift comp, he should attend one.

[@mxz2024]

no thor wanted to win the competition and dont risk a record

[@MrKyly]

@@-robster-robster- you are so right and people tend to forget that there is many parts to winning this, if Thor wants to lift heavy, he should attend to those competions. Oh right, he did.

[@pallethekingkong]

Thor has a strong clean and I think he may be able to press 182 kg for two reps. So he may not loose to many points on Axel. Perhaps two of the other will press 3 reps or more

[@severbogdan4699]

@@pallethekingkong Yeah, but he is still recovering from a pec tear so we'll see. I still think 1st and 2nd is Thor and Hooper, don't know the order just yet :))

[@agnidas5816]

His grip is finally strong enough. Grip strength takes longer to build and he was not doing grip training as well when he won his first Arnold. Grip is the main thing on that frame carry - you stop the swinging then you can walk in up - if it swings you cannot walk it. The weight itself is not so bad - if it was a yolk they would have no problem even though it is uphill.

[@schecterguitarsfan]

[@fzust]

Your pulling looks amazing! What I love about you and your team is that you are very smart about incorporating new techniques etc. You demonstrated that with your training for the fight. Also whatever you did for frame prep worked! Your frame was a huge surprise! What a great improvement! As your pressing comes back, incorporating the split leg for the overhead or the side step for dumbell i.e Novakov would be amazing! Hooper, Licis, and Novakov get so much mileage out of that. Great show, Hafthor! Be positive, you've done great on your long road back

[@WillTrott94]

Congratulations on the return to Strongman, Thor! It was awesome getting to meet you and get your signature on my Thor shirt, to be able to shake your father's hand and meet him, and to be able to meet Coach Bas and shake his hand as well. I am so ecstatic that I was able to be there to see your return in person, and I cannot wait to see you up on the podium again very soon. We are all proud of you and we cannot wait to see you back at 100% again.

[@Nirsterkur]

Seeing you competing and performing like 'that', 'live' was absolutely surreal, Hafthor! It was nostalgic! Massive and heartiest congratulations on your *15th One Thousand Pound Deadlift!* (yes that's not a typo), nobody else has achieved such an outrageous number with the monumental four digits. A lot of people dream to hit that number as a lifetime goal, and only 27 or something from the entire planet has achieved it. You have done it 15 times! You also made many so called analysts, keyboard heroes and prediction gurus eat a humble pie and do a reality check on on your grip which is absolutely world class with that *phenomenal Timber carry (4th fastest time ever)!* My favourite moment was when you said I love you guys to your beloved wife and children, after winning the Deadlift! ❤ What a fantastic day 1. Lets do you best during day 2 as well. No matter what result you will achieve today, the love and support of us will never diminish. Look how much the fans love you... *Koma Svo, the Strongest Man to have ever lived!* --- _With refer to the 505 this year, I would have not believed if any of the 8.1 billion on earth (other than you) if they said it's possible. But for you nothing is impossible. If your body is recovered around year end, by all means and I say it as Icelandic as possible to the best of my ability: KOMA SVO!! Go for it Hafthor!!_

4th place is very respectable after so many years off, I guess next time Thor will start with the winning spree again. I watched live the events and on the pressing it seems that the past peck injury prevented great performance but the strength is there 💪🏻

4th place while recovering from a pec tear, costing him so many points in two events. Healthy Thor would've come second easily.

[@Asdrubael]

​@@AbsoRuud76 2nd definitely, but I think he could of won actually because he would be able to pass the trial by stone which I cannot say for sure Hooper can do in healthy state. I think Hooper is a great athlete but I really don't like his attitude because real champion shouldn't behave like a child.
