Seems to me everyone from Eddie to Thor is rooting for Hicksy. You got this brother!

Because he is the only one in strongman who has the highest 505 kg fails.Hope this time he succeeds.

I am blown away by your 475 with a torn hamstring. I was 1 week out from my first meet and got a minor tear in my hamstring (It didn't even bruise). But it hurt when i walked. It tooks months to heal. You are a beast of a man. I wouldn't be surprised to see you get the 505kg. You got this!

Graham has decided to go to the place you have to go to pull 505 kg. I hope he achieves it...

Or do like Thor. Get strong enough to be able to speed rep 470, and the strength is there. One does not need to visit any special place to succeed. He knows it too

Yes Taz, getting a cheeky little feature in a Giants video. Made it. 💪 Training with good people too. Both Josh and Taz are great strength athletes/grafters. Product of your surrounding and all that. I'm 100% hixy will pull it this year. No distractions. No injuries (hopefully). No other bullshit going on.

Mitch hooper is talking about the 505kg record again but im convinced its just another scheme to try and stay somewhat relevant, i think Tom still not going for it after making the statment was very alike that, I think Grahm may or may not get it and thats enough for me to want to watch.

[@J.c410]

He isnt, he's talking about a 505 lbs axel. The "505" and Haftor / Eddie on the thumbnail is just for the clickbait. He does have a 475kg deadloft pb tho so he could potentially do it anyway

[@mattystewart8]

“Stay relevant”… the dudes come in the top 3 at every single event he has entered in the last few years. He isnt strugling to stay relevant he IS relevant

[@petershortland478]

​​@@J.c410I believe that 475 is from an Australian comp Not sure if he has done that weight since. Tom did attempt to try train for it but then he realised it was holding him back for more WSM titles I believe that's why he lost 23 title

[@User107D]

Join Eddie you mean right? 😂 Thor lifted some weight at his garage as long as I remember and the judge was his neighbour and friends...

I really hope he gets the 505 (partially so we never have to hear the stupid Thor vs Eddie 501/500 argument ever again)

where is anatoly?

[@AKFamily4Ever]

Sure Lucy will be chuffed to be included with "guys" 😂 G, we spoke the year before last and I suggested 475 for 2 as prep for 205. You poo pooed my suggestion. What's your opinion this year. No disrespect meant, I'm just interested 👍

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

We spoke about this in the gym! He thought that would make sure 500+ is definitely there but it’s not worth the risk

[@xchallengerxl6590]

I love Hixy but I reckon his chances are pretty slim unless he can pull 1,000lbs for a speedrep.

statistically he needs 470 x 3 to be able to pull 500 for 1

[@KungFuGrizzly]

That‘s bullocks. Statistically speaking, we have no clue because neither Eddie nor Thor pulled 470kg x 3 before their successful lifts (as far as we know). Numerically, this is BS as well because the numbers don’t scale like this in this weight regions.

[@m.w.4508]

You're talking out of your arse, mate. Name one person that's lifted 470Kg x 3 in preparation for 500Kg to prove your "statistic." I'll wait. Or, you could just delete this shite comment.

[@musicmusic6595]

@@KungFuGrizzly Actually, Thor did pull 470 in the weeks running up to his deadlift it was on his youtube videos. He also pulled it quite easily which got me thinking he could go for more and was good for more in my opinion on the day judging by the lift.

He's so obviously going for 510Kg. There's absolutely no way he wants to share 505Kg with Thor. Who, for what it's worth, looked like he could have done 505Kg 4 years ago.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

The weight in comp will be 505kg, also Thor hasn’t pulled it yet so they can’t share it

[@LambClone]

Thor pulled 501 not 505

[@m.w.4508]

@@LambClone Learn to read.

[@LambClone]

@@m.w.4508 You are aware that you can't mentally dibs 505 just because you think you could probably have lifted it. Hicksy is going for 505 and you'll see that on the night. Thor can't claim 505 just because you think it looked easy.

[@m.w.4508]

@@LambClone @LambClone "Looked like he could have done" doesn't mean "I'm saying he did, factually do it." Let me clarify; Hicksey pulling 505Kg will be mind-blowingly impressive and will illicit a proportional response. *IF* he's the only one to do it. But, If Thor pulls 505Kg, everyone will go "well, yeah. He should have done more. We knew that he could do that already..." regardless of the fact that he hasn't yet. The general perception/opinion is that he could have done it already in 2020 and that 505Kg is a little bit "beneath him" for want of a better term. UNLESS he attempts it and fails it, which he hasn't yet. The *perception* is still that he could do it "easily." We've got ahead of ourselves as spectators, in that regard. However, even though Hicksey is currently pulling more in the gym than Thor - on camera, at least - the perception that he's a monster that can hit 505Kg "easily" still isn't there right now, and rightly so. That's spectators being uncharacteristically rational, for a change. Hicksey knows as well as Thor knows that Thor himself could - pretty easily in comparison to the rest of how the strongman field would make it look - pull 505Kg. That's why I'm saying that neither Thor nor Hicksey would be wise to aim for "only" 505Kg. They are both fiercely competitive people that want to leave their mark on strength athletics and likely wouldn't want to settle for sharing the 505Kg record with anyone. Thor would be heavily underestimating Graham if he thought he couldn't pull 505Kg. I think he's sincerely stated on record recently that he thinks Graham can/will do it, actually. I can only speculate. But, being the "first to do it" doesn't seem like it would be enough for either man in this situation. They likely want to be "the only one" to have ever done it. I don't think that Hicksey would go through all of this effort and hardship for 505Kg, only to have Thor come along and equal OR BETTER his lift. There's no payoff in "doing it first" if your record only stands for mere moments before someone else comes along to scrub it with a better record. I don't think that risk was there for Eddie when he initially lifted 500Kg. Nobody seemed even marginally close to being able to hit that number. People laughed at Makarov for trying. Now, we have at least 3 guys going for MORE than 500Kg in one season. Granted, one of those guys is still Makarov... but, still. It's a different time. I know Giants Live have just doubled-down on their intention to put 505Kg on the bar in reply to my original comment. But, I wouldn't be surprised to see that number change as the months go on. Especially if Graham's programming progresses the way it has recently and he stays injury free right up until before September. It's all good that Graham is proving his work in the gym is paying off. But, as we know from past experience, Thor isn't one to give away all of his secrets on camera and is a MASTER of peaking at the right time. GL are a smart promotion. It's no secret that their working relationship with Thor is effectively nonexistent now. They're investing time and effort in promoting and building Hicksey's attempt and won't want to have it potentially blown to dust by Thor in a different company/comp. We see how heavily they still rely on pushing Eddie and his achievements in their content. They need that next, big, breakout star and achievement to their name. Again, I think we'll see a 510Kg attempt start to get promoted by GL and others sooner than we expect.
