Awesome job thor I'm 6'6 and recovering from spine surgery I'm 33 I been back in the gym for the last year I'm getting better just slow but seeing guys like you help give me energy to keep going. I'm cheering for you

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

Haftor will let him do 505 and then breaks it with 510kg :D

Love that hafthor is showing the love for Graham this is why I love this sport both willing each other to win

[@lucefarus]

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

He's still looking a lot smaller than when he was competing. His shoulders used to be huge back in 2020.

[@VastardokKukiao]

Hes too small

[@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 😅

[@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.

[@silverbackgorilla2112]

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

Dear Hafthor, I'm also one of many who believe that you will not only break your Deadlift ATWR, but do it *Twice in both Equipped and Raw standards!* Koma Svo Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Sterkasti maður sem uppi hefur verið! Koma Svo! 💪🏻👑❤️

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! 💪🏻❤

[@kevinmee3501]

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.

[@tempusfugit9796]

This attempt at 505kg should be done in competition, to remove any doubt from sceptics.

[@maggotmaskstudios7180]

So glad youre back in strongman and going for the deadlift

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!

[@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.

[@thepsychopimp]

The World needs to see a 505kg+ deadlift

[@Kimera92]

5:03 That smug smile saying: "yes, and I also know how to teleport"

[@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!

[@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!

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 👍

[@11perception]

Runar you’re a legend, bring so much to these videos

[@zcddrew]

Good to see eythor! Haven't seen him compete in a while

[@Hafthorjulius]

Eythor is still strong!

[@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.

[@le_pingouinChristopher]

The kelsey part was funny😂 Always a pleasure to watch your videos and i believe in you for the deadlift you will break the record again i'm sure of it!!

Imagine Kazmeier and Big Z in their prime would train today with the big boys. Would be amazing.

[@raydawg2115]

love the part where the boys were cheering on Kelsey at the end!

[@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 😊

I can't see anyone beating Thor in a bag or keg toss competition for height. I also really hope for any deadlift world record Thor goes last so people can beat his record.

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).

Wow Graham looking ridiculously good and so is Thor, good luck to both!

[@TylerSmithMusic1]

Hicks is the only brit that rightly recognizes your deadlift. Good man.

[@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.
