Everytime I hear "lifting half a ton" it's always Eddie that comes to my mind. 501kg is heavier but there's something about hitting half a ton for the first time that made it a more remarkable point in world history.

[@markuschampos5750]

He "drops" the back in the beginning, he cheats if you will, and that is coming back for him above the knees. He is "hanging". This is something everybody knows at his level and either can't lift any other way, or it would cost to much to lift with good technique.

[@HotlistJimmy]

@@markuschampos5750 I wouldnt say its cheating its creating more leverage in a more favourable spot. Its only the same as hitching the bar up higher and higher on your gut before an axel press, or arching your back slightly on a bench press.

[@tatskamaster]

At this level, the range of motion from the knee to the lockout IS the lift. That's the hardest part. You can already see him struggling with the lockout a bit at 475kg, even though the initial pull was easy for him. He could probably break 520kg from the ground and fail the lockout at 490kg at this exact same condition.

[@markuschampos5750]

@@tatskamaster Well if he cheats from the floor. We are all different so you can not say the lift is above the knee, look at Thor! For me I lifted everything if I could get it above the knees. I was an elite powerlifter for 13 years, I do know a thing or two about this.

Thor's record was done with a deadlift bar, calibrated plates, had pretty much the same rest period as in a competition and was judged by the same referee. We could argue whether if its a STRONGMAN record or not, since it was not done in a proper strongman competition (it was judged by WUS though). But is it a WORLD record? You can't argue against that.

[@joshbrooker5819]

@@almostfamous1685 Then you're a casual fan of strongman, respectfully. Thor pulled 474kg without a deadlift suit for a speed rep a whole year before he pulled 501. He narrowly missed 501 without a suit 10 minutes later. Throw on a suit, some figure 8 straps, a specific deadlift prep of course he's gonna break the record The whole event was fully sanctioned, every plate & the bar was weighed on camera in front of the most respected referee in the sport. What more do you want to show it was 501kg apart from it being in competition?

[@phoenix8984]

I really think Ivan has a chance this year. He's changed his approach for fixing his lockout. Instead of doing a bunch of block pulls, which have done nothing for him, he is now focusing on deficit and suitless pulls in order to get the weight of the ground in a cleaner way and thus have an easier time at lockout. So far it's working great, he recently pulled 483 like it's nothing.

@@rdotmitchell 95% of current standing strongman wormd record were done in one off events. Haftor's lift was programmed for the 2020 WUS competitiong, but quanranteen happened. They kept the exact same date for it as the ooner of the WUS feat of strength series. Why do we never hear any of you guys about Tom's atlas stone wr, Rob's american log press record, or Shivlyakov master deadlift wr that were done in the same series ? Eddie got to choose all the weight jumps, and all the resting times when he did it, to the detriment of benny and pritchett and all the others ( Brian even said in a Q&A he didnt enter the dedlift world champ that year for this very reason). Haftor decided to use the exact same weights as Eddie so peoppe woudln't complain, and had 15 mins timed rest times ( eddie took a whole 30min before his 500kg lift). By your logic most strongman records should be considered "not official", or "not in competition". Brian himself competed regularly in the Arnold record breker series were he got the atlas stone wormd record back then. Both Eddie's deadlift and log press pr were also done in one off events. Eddie himself had no issue claiming his 536kg 18 inch deadlift done in a library lifting boxes filled of books was an official world record. But once he started dissing Thor and people pit him against his contradictions, he instantly retckoned his claims and stated his 18 inch dedligt wasnt official. There is no goverrning body in strongman, Haftor's 501 was done with every officials you could ask for, and with stricter rules than the previous record holder. If that's not official enough for you, you're just need a reality check

People that think Hafthor was petty for only going 1 kg over don’t have a clue how monstrous this weight really is. 500 kg deadlift was seen to be impossible for a long time, until Eddie risked his own life to prove it’s possible. Every kilogram above it is immensely respectable.

Hopefully he breaks the record next time, he certainly has the strength. Conditions have to be just right, but he can do it. It’s incredible how strong people can get. A strong person can deadlift 2.5x their body weight, but at a certain weight human physiology is pushed to its absolute limit. And it’s very difficult to break that barrier, even if you put on more muscle mass. When people preform lifts like this, they are literally in uncharted territory in terms of what is physically possible.

The easy with which Thor did that 501 was mind blowing. He looked like he was just doing an air squat.

out of competition. who knows if it was 501kg?

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

@@RonaSpreader it was absolutely a good lift

[@chaytonhurlow840]

I promise that wasn’t easy for Thor, he was just able to lift it fluidly that day. Which in part comes down to external conditions. It was a good day and lift for him, basically. I bet on a bad day he would be hitching, sh*tting his pants, and his eyeballs would pop out of his head. Now if he started doing 501 for reps, or even a half rep, that would prove he can lift the weight relatively easily.

Eddie Hall’s second place deadlift remains intact.

[@Minister-Peter-V1-Church]

I don't know I think as it's an internationally recognised Contest with lots of other lifting. you can see that the presenters here still say Eddie halls record remains. There's a difference between doing it in your home not in a competition. And doing it in a competition.

[@thetruemorg]

I was really glad to see that the very end Eddie give props to those guys. Maybe someone will break his record in competition but it will always be a small percentage of humanity that ever gets to those numbers.

[@gabrieljordan9977]

Im sure one of then will lift this thing, but they are demostrating how tough and strong a human being can be and its limits. We are seeing that the weight difference is much smaller now than decades before.

[@mxz2024]

@@craigkilburn810 lol i waited for trolls like you🤣 always the same non-sense argument. You must be stupid if you dont know that eddie only had 1 hour by car to do only a deadlift and then go to hospital. It was basically his backyard and he did not do any other events.. He inly came for deadlift, nothing more.. He could even decide when he was ready for the lift. And his weights were not weighted onfront of camera. Thors weights were weighted infront camera. He had an official refereee. He did it on LIVE TV infront of how many live viewers? And he had not such long brraks between lifts. It is an official guiness world record. So yes, thor is the only current record holder. It is legit. End of discussion. I dont like if people still argue it was under "easier conditions" or some non-sense like that

[@lemmegetuhh362]

Thor holds the world record. Doesn’t matter where he pulls, weight is weight. There are millions of other people with personal spaces to deadlift in yet nobody has recorded their own 501kg lift? 🤔

[@Derploop]

And it had a recognised judge, all on camera with calibrated plates weighed on camera between lifts and shorter rest times than hall. Calling Thor's out of comp is just a matter of branding. Can't have Thor's be official or the WR wasn't done at their comp.

It wasn’t done in a private gym, yes Thor owns it but anyone can use it Thor did 501 for 2 main reasons - it was enough to break the record and it left the door open for future strongmen to try and break the record

[@Usbdh1291]

What is the advantage for body in deadlifts.

[@nileshdarunde]

Man, even adding 5 kg makes lot's of difference while lifting. So, even they are strongmen, still 30kg jump is lot bigger. But I hope, someone really break the record. I love to see people achieving something they really worked for and break human limits.

I've had a back injury. It resulted from an exercise making similar motions. When I see people do things like this I almost cringe. It seems like this exercise, even with back support, could give you a few years of pain like I experienced, especially using that much weight. Please be careful people.

[@fabiotieri3155]

Every athlete you see here is a pro, and for sure has dealt with nasty injuries at one point or another. That's the best they could realistically hope for and also the least that's gonna happen to them, to be non-critically impaired and arriving at the age of retiriment without being completely crippled. But doing so completely injury free? I've never heard of a pro athlete who never run into an injury of some sort.

[@lance3748]

@@fabiotieri3155 I'm just saying "be careful." A serious knee in jury can end a football, or other athletic, career. A back injury can definitely end a great power lifting career.

[@fabiotieri3155]

@@lance3748 Yes...your advice is kind and makes total sense, in general, but unfortunately, not always carefullness is enough, especially in this sport and at this top level. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that this kind of efforts *always* takes a toll on the body and are *never* meant for the better, in health terms. Eating, weighting and training that much is putting too much stress on the body, more than it can recover from. Anyway I'm rambling too much, have a great day/night! ☀️🌝
