[@hardchooligan]

"Under proper conditions". Thor lives rent free in Eddie's head 🤣

[@wickywills]

Indeed. The conditions Thor pulled the 501 were arguably more strict than when Eddie did his. Sure, his dad weighed the plates, but so what? It was all on camera. Timings were also more strict. Eddie had the whole event built around him and his own ideal timings - even the other athletes said so.

[@rvanleersum]

Having a laugh at Eddie's "under the proper conditions" comment. I mean, it was at a comp, but no one seems to care that he was sponsored to attempt that specific lift there and then, while being given 27 minutes between his last build up set and the 500kg attempt. Hardly 'in comp' setting when it's a planned lift with all the time he wanted before the attempt when contrasted to Thor's "home gym" lift that followed every parameter any in comp lift would. The whole 500/501 debate is so lame. Forget the drama, both lifts were feats of strength that are rarely equaled in any sense. I just appreciate what both guys did to prep for and endure to pull those numbers. And seeing Thor and Mitch push that boundary again will be special.

[@alexanderbertisch1006]

absolutely shitty debate for sure. Its hard to tell if there are any actually legit 1000+ lbs deadlifts, most either have figure 8 straps or a suit or way uncalibrated plates. the deadlift itself is already a weird lift since sumo exists and really manipulates the numbers. but saying a lift doesnt count because it wasnt done in a super super specific competition is just bad sport.

[@lochnessjohnster7206]

[@antoniocenteno1483]

Yeah, but sorry, Your comment was done outside competition, therefore don't count

@@antoniocenteno1483 Also I heard Thors Dad weighed your comment before you posted it. So how do we know it was legit?

[@Dricksus]

@@alexanderbertisch1006 So I agree for the most part. I wasnt aware of Eddie having additional time and stuff in between his lift. Both are definitely massive feats of strength. That said, its important to remember that training for something that difficult is a lot of time and effort. I do think there needs to be some official capacity in which it happens. A lot of strongmen came out saying that Thor's lift should have been done in competition and I do agree with that (fair competition, not a big delay in between lifts like mentioned with Eddie). Otherwise, anyone could film themselves "lifting" 500kg with no standards or verification. Otherwise I do agree though, and I do hold that stance with any lift. Should be in competition

[@subparpt]

5:50 this is what you love to see man, even people like you are always learning and improving. During the sets I was thinking you should get in some sessions with some powerlifting phenoms - not that you need it by any means, you could and will break the record regardless, but there's always room to learn - and you immediately said the "long arms" cue that was playing through my mind. You're obviously levels and levels above me in strength, but it's so cool to see that good cues can be beneficial to everyone from top to bottom. Here's to 505, smash that shit Mitch

[@justman-br3cv]

no

[@antoniocenteno1483]

​@@justman-br3cvYes. Mitch has the potential and Thor has way more than 510. See, Mitch's deadlift pb is 475 or 470 if you only court GL and was done with multiply. Thor can do that Raw and his PB of 501 (record) was done in single ply. Mitch imo has 50/50 chances of 505 whereas Thor can definetly go heavier since he has proven he as 500+ and with more bulk and multiply... Maybe 515? 520? I tell you something, if Thor breaks the record on his second lift that won't be a big surprise

[@Joomsan]

500kg deadlift is ”only” like 2.5 times thors bodyweight. Same deadlift is 3.4 times Mitch bodyweight. If thor would deadlift 3.4x his bodyweight it would be 680kg.

[@1vootman]

Thor is stronger than Mitch

[@drae6984]

I think if anything both will go for the same number and it'll be a shared record. It would be a bit unfair to let one of them go first and then allow the other one to increase the weight based on if the previous one got it. Unless of course both give their numbers before the comp.

Fat actually can help even on its own but providing increased stability under load.

[@OrthodoxAtheist]

@@lukebbuff Eddie and Thor both pushed to 200kg+ bodyweight because conventional wisdom at the time was that heavier = better. Now we're unlearning bad science. Time and time again we're learning there are limits to the benefit of weight. If you have too much weight for your frame, it hinders. Eddie is likely an outlier due to the Hercules gene. Thor will outlift his heavier self through better technique, and eating. He can do it now, a lot leaner than his 501. Hence, you don't have to jeopardize your health as much, just be better. I can see Moose adding some lbs, but not to the stupid levels both Thor and Eddie did to achieve their lifts.

I guess it's because your still in your prime, but I'm guilty of overlooking what you've already accomplished. You are steadily climbing the list of GOATs in strongman. Keep up the good work!

[@pathforone]

Eddie's dissing of Thor will never end. He's literally incapable of admitting that Thor has outdid him in literally everything. Whether Thor's record happened in an official event or in his home gym or on the side of the freakin' road somewhere is irrelevant. All that matters is that all official protocols were met to ensure the record would count legitimately.

[@shekargarvey8330]

While I agree that the dissing is getting old,Eddie also had the axle press record and I think the squat and Viking press for reps record

[@pathforone]

​@@shekargarvey8330 ahh ok, I stand corrected. Mmm, this tasty crow. I could have swore though that Brian Shaw teased Eddie in one of their videos about Eddie only having one WR.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Basically a lift is a lift. Magnus checked all the plates and equipment, Thor timed his rests in step with standard comp rest periods, there is literally nothing that disqualifies Thor's 501 as the legit world record.

[@deanrobinson2459]

It's about having a mutually agreed upon standard by the community and governing bodies, otherwise dangerous precedents are set. So, in all likelihood he did lift 501, but that is not the point in terms of officially recognising it as a record.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

It's impossible to outshine Eddie's achievement since he upped the record by so much and hit the iconic half tonne milestone. To get equal limelight you'd need to lift 550.

Why is it always bot accounts posting about thor?

[@Jykupajr]

@@CloudianMH That’s the second time I’ve seen you post about bot accounts mentioning Thor, it’s pretty funny that you don’t seem to think real people like the guy. His 501 was scheduled for competition but, you know, that global pandemic shut down competitions for months, that’s why it was in his gym. - Organized by WUS - Broadcast live by ESPN - Sanctioned by Guinness - Strict rest times between each lift - 420/465/501kg, exact same jumps as Eddie - Plates, bar, collars all weighed on a calibrated scale on screen - Judged by MVM - Pulled by the same athlete who holds several of the other impressive (in-competition and gym) deadlift WRs, like 1000 for reps and elephant bar - Also the same athlete who has said numerous times that he feeds off crowd energy which was largely missing in his pull All that aside, people seem to have no problem recognizing Rauno’s 6x400kg deadlift WR, or Tom Stoltman’s 286kg atlas stone WR, so why is there such a big huff and puff? Also, Thor has beaten Mitch in every deadlift event they’ve gone head-to-head in (even with only two attempts for max events), why would regular people NOT be talking about him in the comments? But my username indicates I’m probably just a bot anyway, so none of that matters

[@vanessaruiz4705]

@@Fdanism I dont agree with eddie hall in that opinion because with Thor being as big as he is, he stands a better chance than Hooper. Well, technically he does. However, Eddie is free to hold a grudge against whoever, and just to refresh some people's memories, it was not eddie who started their enmity. Sure, I think he should just ignore thor at this point; but then again, freedom of speech and all that.

This is pretty awesome, definitely think you can do hit 505 kilo. I am actually looking to break my own PB in a local powerlift event early next year. Going for a 500 lbs deadlift.

You got this Mitchell!

[@OldManStrength2112]

I honestly believe that Thor will do at least 510KG before he's done. Naturally, Eddie cant give Thor any credit. Thor's 501 is 100% Legit, and he didnt almost croak afterwards like Eddie almost did after his 500.
