I came from the future to tell everyone that 505 was an easy weight!

[@bastian6173]

no lightweight? easy weight?

[@mxz2024]

and that eddie cried harder than last time you forgot 🤪

[@meatbasedvegan4859]

@@mxz2024i also come from the future, eddie has been dead for 63 years. the person who deadlifted the 505 was a mars born woman named Elgerath Sigtlonsen and she weigthed 231.5kg at 7"2

Great Scot! You are disrupting the time-space continuum, let us experience it ourselves! 😉

If there was ever a man born to deadlift 505kg its you Hafthor. Can't wait to see you do it, it will be amazing.

[@EdwinMunoz]

Agreed I’d say Graham could possibly lift that or if JF Caron never got injured… he could also lift 505kg

Nice one Viking, at one time I thought Mr Hicks was going to limbo under the deadlift bar ,I was waiting for the calypso music, great lifts from all those monsters.

What will Thor be lifting after 505kg? Mjolnir!

You have the potential to surpass 505KG if you can avoid injuries. Stay Strong, Viking Power!!

[@WorldwideDarts]

Thor's deadlifts are just so PERFECT. I try to duplicate what he does but it's just not the same thing being short and stocky like me

[@christophbecker1639]

My favourite Darts Channel 👍🏻 Bet you are much better at Darts than Thor though 😅

[@maggotmaskstudios7180]

So glad youre back in strongman and going for the deadlift

[@LatinoAaron]

Eythor's a legend. Also cool to get a second wind of Thor and Runar's filmaking in the gym. Always enjoyed the video drops over the pandemic days and good to see you guys back at it.

[@tedschenker8813]

Can't wait to see some monster deadlifts in the months to come from you and Graham. Joe has brought up how big you are many times lol always a funny convo

[@Hafthorjulius]

Fun times ahead!

[@idk13539]

Eyethor is looking great!

[@derekwainford]

Great video as always. You and Hicksy looking strong.💪💪

[@ABABABABABABABABABABBBBBB]

No Hicks is looking really small and tiny and short. For a strongman hes tiny. If he were to wrestle Hafthor he'd be tossed like a doll hes like half his size. Even if Graham Hicks had 10 WSM titles and Hafthor had 0, Hafthor would be stronger. Because real strength is mainly based on real size, and thats the truth. A horse can probably deadlift a few kilos if any, but it would wipe the floor with hafthor and probably pull more than twice as much weight in a truckpull. Its 500kg of muscle, therefore its stronger.

[@Maetti1286]

I would like to see some more videos like this, but may with some less known strongmen.

[@Hafthorjulius]

Roger that, I'll write that in my note book!

[@easteuropeanviking]

Shit I couldn't make it in the first 30 minutes, anyways, we love you Thor, and 100% you gonna break your own world record!

Appreciate the support Nirmal! Hope your day will be good!

[@Nirsterkur]

Thank you Sir for motivating and inspiring me to be the best version of myself. I'm on my way to reach the Strongest version of my life by August and today was a great day so far! After watching the video, I'm heading for some grip training at home: with my new torsion spring gripper I bought 4 days ago! 💪🏻❤

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

It just occurred to me that I haven't seen Eythor in a long time. Glad that he's on the upside of all the things happening around him right now. And I guessed before he said so that he probably off-cycled and did some PCT after WSM last year to try for a kid. Good for him.

Thor, one of few people who encourage others to break his record and supports them. You Sir are a legend. And i think, when they break your DL record, you will set a new one at, lets say, 515kg 😁what a Beast 👍

when is Thor going to attempt the 505kg deadlift. Hope he can do it in a competition format

[@ChokyoDK]

I think he said that he would do it at Strongest Man on Earth 2024. Brian Shaws event.

[@Hafthorjulius]

I’ll be announcing it soon once I know for sure. As of today I don’t know when I will get that opportunity. The only opportunity I have currently is at SMOE.

[@ThinkStoicPersona]

@@Hafthorjulius good luck in your training. Im sure you will get it

[@kacpperkacpperowski3496]

Good luck in prep for SMOE. Greatings from Poland, I met you in Warsaw after Arnold UK before going to gym and meeting you motivated me to believe i will compete some day at strongman💪

[@unclemoneymoneyuncle8702]

Get involved and compete now, there's usually always plenty of strongman comps, I just did my first one and really loved it! If you're already strength training might as well take the plunge and get involved, no need to wait for some far away/out there date... Of course, we're talking local comps and things on a smaller scale not the international level, still lots of fun though! Edit to add: I see you're already doing strongman from your profile pic! so I take it you meant he motivated you to get in strongman, that's awesome! Same shindig here, watching guys like Thor and Shaw and other strongman is what motivated me too to try it out and develop an interest in such!

[@holyhex6520]

Good seeing Eythor again. He's looking healthy!

[@mustang8206]

It's absolutely crazy that Hafthor, Brian Shaw, and Eddie Hall all competed at the same time. It's like the 90s in basketball when Shaq, MJ, Magic, and Bird all competed at the same time

Hall never been in the same level as Brian and Thor !!!! Bryce’s boy

Also Big Z though he was at the end. He is the MJ of strongman imo.

When using straps, is it better to put the thumb on the outside of the bar or use the standard grip?

"It's four-and-a-half-meters" looks at the height. Looks like 2 Thors. 4-and-a-half-meters sounds accurate, lol!

[@traindawg21]

Is Thor getting back into strongman stuff again? I see he's gotten bigger again.

[@Nirsterkur]

Yes, Hafthor is training for 3 more competitions this year: Iceland's Strongest Man (9-10 Aug) Strongest Man on Earth (17-18 Aug) Rogue Invitational (8-9 Nov) His current bodyweight is around 183 kg (403 lb).

[@matthijs579]

When you did the 501kg livestream it said you would attempt 520kg if you hit a certain follower goal on twitch. Do you believe you could have actually pulled that if it would have come to that?

[@sissano1]

Graham looks tiny next to Thor !

[@stephenmartin6250]

I believe that Graham can pull 505kg… but I also believe Hafthor can pull 520kg.

[@tomhiggins875]

Graham's the only one using figure-eights on deadlift. I'd like to see him work on his grip strength for his future strongman events.

[@BoredandAngry]

Imagine if you'd taken your loss against Eddie with honor. You'd be collaborating with all of the top guys right now right amidst some of the greatest competition ever.

[@NessieJazz]

We stan men who support strong women. 10/10 Love how cute you and Kelsey are!

[@John.J_Stud64]

Graham might break it with 505, I think him and Makarov are the two who can do it, but Hafthor is just another level of a monster. If needed he will do 510, 515, 520 or even heavier! He is the strongest human in history!

[@Bigramt]

I think Graham can pull 505. I have followed him years before he was an open weight strongman and he's always been very powerful, going back to his 105kg days Being lean and this strong with months to go means his prep is going well. Hafthor also went lean before going all out. It makes sense to be as strong as possible at the lighter weight before you gain mass Graham will only borrow the record until Thor pulls 510 😊

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

Have you thought about doing AMRAP sets of deadlifts like Nick Best has done, like 260-300kg for max reps?

[@pascalblackmore8098]

The actual average height of the vikings was actually 1.77m or 5ft 10inches - people during that time were smalle than today. They were still bigger than the others then of course.
