Thanks a lot Eddie and Thor for raising the bar so high 500kg deadlift is just bloody insane 😮

[@maxa8838]

Yes, Eddie revolutionized everything about deadlift and pushed others forward with he's brutal mindset and power 💪🏻 And what makes it insane and impressive is that in 8years only one other has been able to get to same level 👌🏻 Eddie and Thor is just outstanding lifters 💪🏻

[@ZenithAngel]

It’s a shame that no one even challenges Thor in the current field . Miss the times when Jerry, JF Caron, Brain, Eddie and Thor were all pulling 1000 + at the Arnold’s

[@Devve6]

If Trey, Bobby, and Austin come to pull huge numbers they would also force Mitch to pull huge

[@AdamA23272]

​@Devve6 But when Mitch pulled last year, he didn't have a HUGE number in him. He was 22.5kg off 453.5kg/1000lbs and his 2nd attempt wasn't that easy.

[@Devve6]

@AdamA23272 i just watched it back he could have pulled 1000 that day. It looked smooth other than the bar wobble was trying to throw his ballance off

@doctorgorgomel You can tell to a degree though mate. There's having another 10 kilos, then there's assuming somebody has 20-30+ when the previous attempt was slow. He wasn't maxed that's fair, but come on. He is a freak though, no denying that. Modern day Achillies of lifting.

Announcing the prize months ago would probably change nothing. The only person with anything close to a chance to 501 raw is Thor, and he has been training the deadlift so hard anyways. Most likely case is that nobody else has a chance even if you give them 6 months.

Lots of people talking out of both sides of their mouth. How many people whined and cried that Thors 501 wasn't in a competition? Now you want 501 elephant bar not in the competition but only in record breakers? Lol! Rogue is doing it right. No guest lifting bullshit, only people invited and expected to do the full comp have the opportunity to set a record. Set a record and then do more lifts and not nearly die in the process....it'll be one of the, maybe the single most impressive feat of all time!

[@shawnofkansas]

My favorite KZbin channel since well before he was done flying solo in his videos. Great channel. My official strongman pipeline. Lifeline actually. Very impressive team.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

Thor was already on the race to 500KG, Rogue and the Arnold's bought him 2 weeks more of prep and the lad had already done 460Kg (yes, in single ply, but honestly he gets sh*t from that squat suit). Given the elephant bat deadlift is his bay, his record and he is the best that we have really big chances of him doing the All Time and doing so Raw. Is an exciting time for been alive. Also, the Arnold's are gonna be wild!

[@ricmndy1]

Not sure how you say he doesn't get sh*t from the suit. If that's the case, why is he wearing it? He clearly thinks it does so it, in fact does, help him. These guys hate putting the suits on so I don't see why he would put it on if it didn't help him in some way shape or form.

[@DeadLifter-rl9en]

@@ricmndy1It's obvious it does little for him, it's very loose & his pulls move exactly the same as his raw pulls. He's getting no pop off the floor It gave him a bit more when he was over 200kg because it was tighter but even then nowhere near as much as a multi ply deadlift suit would

[@antoniocenteno1483]

​@@ricmndy1Because: a) Is a squat suit, just starting there the thing is not even meant to be used for deadlift; b) on top is a single ply suit so is even less spring; c) The thing was meant for him to use it over 200KG bodyweight, as he is using it a 190KG the suit is very loose and at this point just makes him uncomfortable rather to even give him any strenght perks; d) It shows, you don't need to over brain it, Thor lifts better and more confty raw than in that thing; e) Finally and most important. BECAUSE I SAY SO. Just Kidding. Actually Thor said so in a video not long ago, something along the lines that when he was in top deadlift shape and even at the weight he needed to fill the suit he was gaining next to nothing from it. ¿Why is Thor lifting in a suit then?. Because he is getting used to the feel again and since his multiply suit wasn't ready the best he could do was using the old squat single ply suit to start getting around it even if gained nothing from it. Lastly, it ain't only me that says this things, fans and above all Atlethes have been talking about it lately.

[@Micheldied]

A good way to save 100 grand is to only tell athletes 8 weeks in advance to train for the heaviest raw deadlift ever. That being said, I do think Thor can do it if he just focuses on it instead of the whole comp, which honestly he very likely cannot win with those events anyway.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

Bro, Thor was already on the move to 500, if that was their strategy to save money they where not paying attention. Thor is now 7-6 weeks out from that and already doing 460KG

[@BuffPomsky]

​@@antoniocenteno1483 he was training with suit though It's a huge difference

[@AdamA23272]

​@BuffPomsky He trains with a single ply suit. He gets basically nothing from it, watch his videos. There's no pop off the floor. His 458kg raw deadlift from the rogue invitational was easier than his 460kg with this suit you say makes a massive difference. There's a reason he's bought a Kaos multiply suit.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

​@@BuffPomskyA squat singly ply suit, Wich gives him nothing. This is something many people pass and act like Thor gets a lot from his suit when isn't even a deadlift suit to beging with. He moved 456Kg like paper last time and of all things he said he will do it, giving there are two overhead events he knows he has better chances of doing an amazing record rather than wining the thing. He still gonna try though, beware of the Thor. Also, people comparing his 470 and 480 deadlifts missing the crucial point Thor was past 200KG at that point for both lifts and nearly peaked whereas that 460KG was at 190KG bw and way from peaking.

[@pagit85]

They should have just offered this at the Rogue 2024 imo

[@LifeAccordingToMatt]

Big purse ✔️ Training up to the 501+ ✔️ No Colin Bryce ✔️ Thor is going to quiet the haters

[@estonianrocker666]

I remember Thor allready attempted 501-Kg on elephant bar and he got it to his knees and this was before his 501-kg record with normal bar when he was not even peaked yet.

[@whenisasnakeatail4933]

He actually slipped a bit during that attempt. I remember he was wearing these long socks and I don't think the grip was very good. He usually deadlifts barefoot now. I think he learned from that. If he hadn't slipped on that attempt he may well have made it.

[@jason7231]

No one other than thor have a chance.

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

I think Thor could take a really good crack at 501 on the Elephant Bar, especially because he pulled over 1000 in a single ply 8 wks out from the comp, but idk if that's what he's going for, and if he's going for a one-off deadlift bar record, he won't be doing anything exciting for ASC. As per usual, there's zero others that are to be considered for this record. I think Thor could pull 505 of whatever bar he pulls from.

[@drae6984]

Imo the Arnold's should give out 5 extra points for this feat or something. That way it'd make more sense for athletes (or basically Thor at this point lol) to attempt this in the comp

[@artiegray8195]

[@jamesmontalvo5026]

I think they did it this way because of all of the disagreements over doing it in competition, vs. doing it under ideal conditions. I’m glad to see the bounty for an in competition record. That said I’d also tune in to see a straight up deadlift comp with all the best deadlifted from around the world.

[@mprovin7320]

Loz in case you dont know, thor is pulling in a single ply squat suit... the same he did the 501 in. he is trying to get a better 2ply DL suit because the one he got recently felt shit

[@douglasnisbet1189]

I think this would be more impressive than the 501kg on the normal bar.

[@jacksarebetter]

Liz is a genuine muscle mommy now❤

[@liftbikerun]

I'm all for records to be broken, and it won't be without accolade, but these 1kg jumps will never compare to the 35kg jump Eddie Hall made when he went from 465kg to 500kg. What made Eddie's Deadlift so impressive wasn't just him hitting 500kg, which was monumental, it was by how much he increased the record by, effectively making it impossible to beat in competition for 9 years+. To beat that record by the same amount, a deadlift of ~537kg would have to be made. That's how impressive his lift was imo.

[@paul_oliver_duggan29]

This 501 raw will be the most impressive lift in history.

[@richliving1619]

Liz’s arms look great!

[@petergripping1440]

Its not fair to put people just there to do the deadlift,the others are going to be too tired, and focused on staying fresh as possible for the whole event. How about they do all the events, and always meet the middle of the pack in each event, to qualify for the deadlift

[@simonc1039]

I think it would do a great service to the promotion of strongman sports to have separate competitions for record-breaking events like this. 100k isn't shabby by anymeans, but it may well be a once in a lifetime achievement for many lifters, and with wider interest, it could be rewarded like other elite sports.

[@AbsoRuud76]

Loz has a whole biceps on his upper forearm.

[@adamh6730]

THANK YOU! For some time now particular records have been effecting the overall comp. The weights are just too high now and the small amount of athletes that are applicable for legitimate record attempts are then too compromised for the full show. It's just not conducive for longevity to keep promoting records & shows this way anymore. But how do Strongmen and Strongwomen do just records without mimicking a powerlifting meet? 🤔 Maybe they don't? Could be fine to have a Strongman meet with adjusted rules and add a log+axel. Maybe we arrange a team Strongman comp for the competitors post record attempts? Nothing too heavy just a reason to have fun and compete for fans and bragging rights?

[@a5noble2]

I like how they say record like wreck-chord.

[@BrianNassar]

[@mufinmakesmusic1210]

Sorry off video topic, but has the Strongwoman documentary come out yet? If so where can I watch it?

[@Kragatar]

I agree the near-impossible deadlift record attempts should be their own thing. Get more top-tier deadlifters in there and have all of them at full power, not trying to do it in the middle of a strongman comp. It would mean having to devote the time and money to book an arena and organize another whole show, but it's a show that lots of people would pay to see.

[@jamesmaitlandstewart08]

YOU GOT THIS HAFTHOR!!!!!!

It'd be smart for him to train all out on the deadlift if he thinks he can get it. With the two overhead events this year, he's not winning the whole thing. Getting a raw 501 deadlift and doing bad or dropping out of the comp and winning 100k is way more impressive than just winning the deadlift with 460 or whatever he would lift and then end up in 3rd place and winning 20k.

I honestly think it’s just to get people talking. A lot of strongman fans (myself included) think the max elephant bar is getting old, they seriously do it every year since it’s been introduced (aside from one). So I don’t think they care if anyone actually breaks it, no loss to them if not, but gives people a reason to talk about the event more when it’s pretty safe that Thor will win, Mitch/Trey/Bobby will be fighting it out behind him for second, etc. Really seems to me that they don’t care about the record and just want to make people more interested in the event

[@norzpower8235]

They should ditch the Elephant bar and use a Rogue DLB.

[@321apek]

The only incentive for Thor to break the record is the money, and at the risk of losing the competition because he would be the only one going for the record. No point 50kg ahead of the second place and no one else fighting for the first place. With so much effort spent just on the deadlift, does not put him in a good position to win the competition. He should focus on breaking the suited 505 elsewhere and then on the Arnold's next year.

[@UncleGo67]

It’s Been Talked About For Long Enough. 501 is the Record. ( If )… the Record is to be Matched or Broken 501 kg+…? There Is a Reward..👍😎💪💯

[@80-80.]

We have to point out that an elephant deadlift will never give you quite the same cred. iI’s not like sumo or anything, but still cannot be compared.

[@danielbarker5615]

Thor can definitely do 501. All he needs is to do it in his own gym with his own plates with an Icelandic ref. Boom, new world record..

[@emmabruce7716]

Very true 😊

[@TheColdViking]

There is a risk that Thor can loose the record, because if Mich Hooper, Rauno Heinla, or Trey Mitchell are at their best prep, then at least one of them can pull 475 kilos and break the WR. If this happens, then Thor will have a big dilemma on his hands, expecially if two or three also manages to go 470+ kilos. Because if he has pulled 465 kilos on his second lift and three guys has pulled more than him before the last attempt, then he would rater play it safe and win, instead of failing a 501WR and lose a lot of points on that faliure. So i don't think he will try the 501, unless he has already won the competition with his second lift.

[@matthewcincotta62]

To be frank, it seems clear to me that this was announced specifically for Thor because his deadlift WR attempt fell through and he knows he won’t win the Arnold with these events, so he convinced them that he’d take a crack at the 501 for them for the right price.
