No point in putting it on the title. They aren't really friends. Honestly, Eddie is probably jealous of Thor and he's the one keeping a friendly relationship from happening. I know Thor probably uses gear, but he's honestly the star of strongmen right now. He's probably the strongest human in the world right now overall, and he's pretty humble at that. I used to not like him because I was a Shaw fan(also a pretty admirable man) but now he's one of the strongmen I look up to.

[@trevino37]

3 Questions Thor: 1- When you deadlifts and stone carry, you bend and grab while your knees are totally straight. How did you become so flexible? . 2- Does your flexibility contribute to your strength while improving your form? I am not as flexible, so getting in position to lift compromises my breathing if I take too long to adjust. However, if I lift too quickly so not to compromise my breathing then my technic and position goes off -especially when wearing my belt. 3- Does your weight gainer works for naturals? Since Naturals do not have that over active protein synthesis, wondering if most of that weight gain turns into fat...? Thanks

I would love to see Thor pull 501+. I've always had a tremendous amount of respect for Eddie Hall (and still do, of course), but I'm so tired of the idea that a person can only pull 500 if they undergo extensive mental training and create a strange mental trigger point and all the other shit that he speaks of. It would be nice to see someone just train and pull it.
