[@Jake-vg7mw]

The coverage of this show has been really bad, middle of the night for uk, giants live do not have the results posted anywhere I can see, no idea who won the show, no clips of anything until days after, doesn't even show the attempts at 505kg which was the major selling point of the show. I follow strongman so I've found out the results etc, but for a casual fan I don't see them having any chance. Edit: SMOE was broadcast at a time that worked for the U.S and Europe, this broadcast started early hours of the morning for Europe, that's an entire continent of ppv buys that most likely don't get bought

[@cisrael468]

If they posted the footage immediately it would disincentivize people to pay for the live stream. For live results at pretty much any comp you can find them on strongman archives. Also a casual fan probably isn’t going to care about a comp that isn’t one of the big 4, and why do you want to see a bunch of failed 505 attempts?

[@DennisGr]

@@cisrael468 the whole thing was a fiasco. if you look at the footage as neutral as possible you can see where eddie is coming from, those were questionable reps, but how it all was handled, especially from eddies side, was a complete shitshow, which is so sad, because both he and hafthor are great athletes.

[@rvanleersum]

@@DennisGr There's also more to it, including conversations about moving events from qualifiers to finals that were favourable. That recorded conversation with Stoltman and Bryce didn't help that end either. Thor was wrong on his lifts and such, nor can I deny he was a bit of a primadona at these events, but life goes on. He's definitely not the ego he once was and Eddie was hardly much better - especially his behaviour pre-fight. As for GL and WSM, there's some light at end of tunnel. Per Shahlei, there has been contacts, there was some inroads made but it's probably not happening this year.

[@cisrael468]

@@DennisGr it’s actually pretty simple. Thor showed poor sportsmanship in 2017 and isn’t the first or last competitor to do so. The bigger issue is that the promoters who are supposed to remain neutral allowed Eddie to use footage to paint lies about how bad things were such as editing footage to make it look like Thor didn’t shake his hand on the podium. A comp promoter cannot aid in tarnishing the reputation of an athlete that has helped grow their brand for a decade. Absolutely untrustworthy behavior and the fact that the smear videos are still on Eddie’s channel makes it worse. I watch GL shows because of the competitors but Colin messed up big time and I don’t blame Thor for not coming back

Thor had to bulk up to over 200kg and strictly train deadlift to pull 501kg.

These guys are pretty good. Still all of them are a far leap behind Hafthor. It's quite sad actually - this event is boring as hell because there has been no progress for a couple years and the only man on earth capable to really do something special wants nothing to do with the show. Hafthor will likely break the record in a comp if given the right opportunity and he stays healthy. He'll do it for 2 reasons - prove doubters wrong and to ensure that Giants Live never has someone break his record while he is a live. He would do it simply so they have to bump their weight up to 510kg or more. Right now 505kg is an impossible number and he'll eventually add salt to that stat line. Suck for Heinla. Guy is great but he's peaked. He'll never stay healthy long enough to grow to 505kg from his 480ish kg best. He's not that old but he looks less healthy every year. Guy is carrying far too much weight for his frame. If he was 10 years younger he could suffer through for a few more PRs but I don't know if he has any left.

At this point, I think the only candidate that has a shot is Mitch Hooper. His 505 attempt looked the most convincing by far. You guys really need to convince Thor to come back somehow, otherwise the only chance of 505+ being lifted at Giants Live will be a Hooper that actually dedicates himself to break the world record. This seems kinda unlikely any time soon though since it would affect his overall performance in strongman competitions negatively.

@@vojtechkorhon4159 yep he got those orangutang like arms also i think thats a huge thing for deadlift he got so long arms

[@OdenthorIcefang]

"strong man" deadlifting. If you take away the " strong man" that means you take away the straps. Benedict Magnuson owns the Deadlift. And he didn't use straps lol.

[@nike80nl]

In 10 years, they will open on 470kg 💪🏼😎

[@bmstylee]

It is. But we have a larger pool of people training so it makes sense. Plus the knowledge base for diet, training, and effective use of peds has definitely progressed as well.

[@darylkanofski9327]

Are the rules different in this comp, are they allowed to drop instead of lowering to the ground

[@J.c410]

That's by far the most comon ruleset

[@geoffreyfaltot1006]

Blows my mind these guys can break the floor but get stuck 3" from lock out

[@robbietaylor7681]

In my opinion rauno has been the best deadlifter over the years consistently pulling huge weights he’s 45 ish years old which is amazing with a full prep and no injuries I think he gets the 505 look how easy that 470 moved! Don’t get me wrong Thor is probably capable as well the mans getting stronger every week 👍

[@dez_player1]

I wish holding the bar was in the rules. These fingertip lifts are just hideous

[@cedriclechiffre1100]

You don't deadlift do you? I'm not throwing shade, just want to say that there's a limit to how much your fingers can hold. At these weights, without straps, it would no longer be about how strong they are, but how strong their fingers are. Would make the deadlift pointless since there are specific exercises that are designed to test grip strength only. The only workaround is doing mixed grip deadlift (same as Mitch did in WSM after he tore his palms), but it's very risky because strongmen don't train much that way, and its way easier to completely detach the bicep, especially on 1RM lifts. After such an injury, even with a successful surgery, it's a permanent strength loss in that arm.

[@schulme123]

It would no longer be a lifting contest but a grip strength contest...you should think things through prior to commenting.

[@dez_player1]

Ill spend a week thinking about it next time... Jesus Christ

[@Daundo]

​@@dez_player1 No you are right, it's not about the grip it's the fact they're cutting the range of motion due to the strap length

[@dez_player1]

@@Daundo Yea its an unfair advantage. Look at Trey and Ivans lifts. Both managed to hold the bar

[@McWhatevs]

Not sure about all the hate on Giants Live video production here. Could be better yes, but it's free on YT!!! I will agree that I'd prefer athletes be able to choose their own weight jumps. You'd see more reactions like Trey from people hitting PRs for a start. Pretty sure Moose's PR is 474kg, he certainly would have cleared that.

[@glennday7802]

The wraps have become so ridiculous you don 't actually need to grip the bar. It's about as legit as using a multi-ply slingshot for bench presses.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Or a multiply deadlift suit?

[@misterc5783]

If you’ve been deadlifting for years but somehow still struggle to get your prep right, that’s all on you. It never ceases to amaze me how “off-point” some can be in their prep and best approach in this game. It’s all very amateurish in some cases. But I suppose that’s the nature of the game, only a few are actual professionals (as in, this is how they make their living) The egos don’t help either. The ones who pull a big weight and can’t stop themselves holding it and posing for a few seconds. Draining energy away from the next attempt. It’s just naive stuff. Is holding 454 at the top as draining as pulling it? No. But it’s still draining you.

[@gruunt4064]

it's entertainment, it is part of the show people have paid for, didn't Eddie Hall do the same on 500

[@Vampire__Squid]

@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN There needs to be a 485 KG deadlift, its the 3rd heaviest deadlift so these guys will walk away with something

[@divicospower9112]

I am very surprised by the result of Hicks. Why didn't he get at least the 470 kilos? Makarov still doesn't understand that he must change his technic and programming to get it. Sad

[@doctorgorgomel]

Hicksy messed up his week leading up to the show, he's gained like 6kg eating badly in Vegas, so the suite didn't fit. This also caused him mental problems as he's the kind of guy who needs every little thing perfect to focus. Plus i think he's also peaked too early. He looked amazingly strong a couple of months ago (e.g. 450x2). I really hope he'll get it next year so he can hold the WR before Thor or Mitch snatches it.

[@divicospower9112]

@@doctorgorgomel Ok so it's all on him

[@glegg54]

No 505kg pull, but 4 lifters hitting 470kg is bonkers. The bar is still be raised across the board.
