@@TidyRC Yeah, a lot of guys in 480-490 club but 505 seems to be physically and mentally out of reach. Guys like Rauno are talented but not young enough to make significant progress.

[@tuckyew3633]

I think 505kg is unattainable for Makarov. This attempt is worse than all his previous attempts. Previously he could at least get the bar to his knees, now he barely lifts the bar off the ground for a split second. Either his strength has plateaued or he needs to change his training approach moving forward.

[@maxkaltenhauser9282]

Maybe that is even a good thing for him, if you keep getting seemingly closer and closer you delude yourself into thinking the approach is correct. Atleast now he has to take a step back and analyze what he is doing.

Rauno Heinla had the best chance of any currently active strongman of hitting 505Kg. He's truly a phenomenal deadlifter and still very underrated and underappreciated on the world stage. I thought Hicks may have had half a chance up until he announced his injury during prep. Makarov has attempted this so many times that he's almost became a meme. Doesn't have it in him at all and never will.

[@icet7092]

Damn, considering how easily Thor moved the 501kb back then.

[@3finnian]

From what I've seen with the Thor one, the weight reading is shown on camera but there's no way to know if it's truly accurate, it wouldn't be hard to program a display to show a lighter weight, or do some camera trickery. The ease with which he lifts it (as a very tall person) makes me think it was less weight, still very heavy but not quite the 501kg claimed.

[@gretapunberg7052]

@@3finnianThor pulled 474kg for a speed rep without a suit & you think he can't pull 501 in a suit? You Eddie fanboys are so annoying.

@@3finnian LOL! Do you really think the world's strongest man ever is faking his lifts? I don't know if it was measured with a device as accurate as in competitions like these, but it must have been extremely close. No reason to do something like this, if you are not doing it properly.

[@jar768jake]

500KG itself is quite the undertaking, it really shows you how incredible both Eddie Hall and Hafthor Björnsson were There are several BTS videos with Eddie Hall, doing everything he can to prepare, including hypnotism

[@brandonkoval3906]

eddie even talks about the phsychology of putting your brain into that survival state to where your body is at it's most unbelievable super human strength. Going to a dark place to find it is even a harder challenge as it is

[@vebjsand]

Hafthor looked like he had more in the tank aswell, kinda looked like he had 510/520 kg in him at the time. Eddie said his only regret was not loading the bar even more once he felt the power he had, said he felt like he could lift more. I think Hafthor just got what he needed to and then didn't want to risk anything more. He was already a living legend, essentially no point in doing more than he did. I do wish Eddie and Hafthor continued their fued in strongman. They retired too early from the sport imo. If you gave both of those guys 3-5 more years, oh boy.

[@jar768jake]

@@vebjsand Something makes me feel that Hafthor didn't have to take nearly as much prep work as Eddie did, other than good ol' fashion conditioning, eating large amounts, and substance abuse, but hey that's the industry standard. And yes, I believe Hafthor could have pushed past 501kg, but I also think it's because he knows Eddie would never go through, what he had to go through to prepare, again. Also, we know how much they love to annoy each other, so why not take to opportunity to beat Eddie's record by only 1kg lol. Eddie did perform his feat in a professional setting though, where Hafthor did his in his home gym. So, I feel that can play a small role as well, even if it's the tiniest bit.

[@doctorgorgomel]

@@jar768jake And Eddie did it when the previous WR was aroudn 465 if i remember correctly, so it's already a huge jump and at that time, saying he'll pull 500 was a ridiculous statement. So he also had to prep and do it while basically everyone thought he'd fail. Although that may have fueled him more. Hafthor at least didn't have to go to "uncharted" territory. I think it's a shame it was only 1kg, plus definitely a pity it was not a comp lift. But it's not any less impressive for sure. And now, these competitors were almost sure they could pull it... crazy. Although they didn't. ;)

[@vebjsand]

@@jar768jake I think Eddie would've respected or atleast settled with a 505 or 510 kg pull. But 501 must make him fume. Eddie has talked a bit about his prep back then, and knowing what he knows now, if he knew it back then, he could've kept going with risking heart injury and such. Back then he was going at it with very little guidance, limited knowledge about substance abuse (these days athletes get the same results which way smaller dosages and less side effects). As you mention I think perhaps it played a role that he was forced to do it in a "home gym". I do trust the judges and such, weights were weighed on livestream and all that. But it's still not the same as being at the Arnolds or Giant's live. So maybe he had a tiny bit of doubt about the lift being valid, so why risk life threatening injury by pulling 510 or 520 when he has already beaten the record. We saw what happened with Eddie, he had severe injuries from the lift. I think that scared Hafthor a bit, but clearly his larger frame handled it well, he was a bit sore for 1 day then didn't notice anything (or atleast so he says). In my head there's no question he could've done more. A few days before the lift he did 470 kg for reps, and perhaps for the first time in his life looked aggressive and angry at the weight. I've never seen 470 kg look so easy, ever. With that said, I also think Eddie could've done more than 500 kg. It's a shame we never really got to see a head-to-head battle with them play out properly. The few fueds they had they both still had more potential. Even bloatlord Eddie looking like a beast at his peak, with different substance and nutrition regiment, had more potential, especially in over-head stuff. Ifs and buts. There's nobody like them in the strongman scene these days. Tom could maybe have the potential to hang with those guys, but he'd need a rival to push him over a couple of years to reach final form. Right now his strength varies way too much throughout the year, and his focus is only on WSM. I think he has a long term goal of breaking the deadlift WR, and with proper focus I think he can do it. Would love to see it.

[@jb4326]

Just lifting one inch of that weight is impressive! 💪👍

[@martyrofgrenth2136]

I saw Loz & Liz's video and I have to say, this video here doesn't showcase the REAL hype that the crowd is giving these guys. In this video you can hear the crowd when they go for the lift but it sounds sort of "mundane", in Loz & Liz's video (obviously just a mic from a camera) you can hear the crowd literally ROARING and cheering like crazy! I feel like Giants Live should have a similar mic or something to capture just how nuts the crowd goes and how awesome that is, it almost feels like you're there with everyone!

[@iielysiumx5811]

Being brutally honest non of these guys were anywhere near. On a conventional pull, the first pull is the easiest part, especially getting it to just below the knees. The hard part is that second pull. With makarov it will be a case of if his health gives out before he can get the lift, man is so strong but never seems to be quite there. Grahams 470 wasn’t as good as people seem to think it was, it slowed, he hitched it several times and struggled on the lockout. Would have been interesting to see pavlo make an attempt, man is a beast and he is still young as well. When we saw Eddie and Thor pull 470 it was smooth, no slow down and no hitching and non of these guys are at that level quite yet. Wasn’t to be this year, there is always next year

Eddie was fucked up because he held it (god knows why) for a long time.

[@eugenemurray2708]

@@vanessaruiz4705 He was attempting to lock out, Eddie never did lock his knees, but his business partner who was the judge of the event gave him the lift anyway.

Why Thor is not coming in international competition for lift 505kg ?...Why??. He lift weight in his home gym. But never in international competition 😅

[@adamparsons4518]

They seem to have too much of a casual attitude about it. They don’t hype everyone up. When Eddie did 500 they were really lifting him up for it, but with each attempt at 505 they’re not hyping it up anymore than an opening lift. What Eddie and Thor did was special. No one’s gonna be doing that for a long time

[@ArmenianViking]

This is why Eddie is the f**king man

[@jurekcc9162]

These competitors still don't get it, it's all about body weight power💪 Eddie and Thor were way heavier than these competitors when the lifted more than 500kg.

Only a vegan natty(or a natty vegan) can do it!

[@skeletorlikespotatoes7846]

Wrong 😅

[@vanessaruiz4705]

yeah i was thinking that's definitely a factor. These athletes are 140/150kg. I dont think it's physically possible.

[@NoDoubtsss]

The comp was a bit focused too much on pulling the world record. It would have been a better battle if the athletes just went for their real maxes and battled it out, in stead of trying to get prize money for a lift they were clearly not ready for yet

[@JBS7551]

Yeah agreed

[@M10-z1q]

I mean the event is literally called the World Deadlift Championships. It was clearly advertised as going for the 505 record, and athletes knew that. If they didn't want to attempt the record they could focus on the rest of the competition, which many athletes did do. Eddie Hall set his record back in the 2016 World Deadlift Championship as well, which was parts of Europe's Strongest Man.

[@J.c410]

​@@M10-z1qNot what he meant. Giant live doesnt allowed them to peal the weight they want, they have a preplanned set of bar weights they have to choose from. So they wouldnt be able to go for their true max even if they wanted to, tho these 3 guys wanted a shot at 505 anyway.

[@Shaunymac10]

Just shows how strong these guys really are this weight is insane

[@ZEDDYXx]

I dont stay up to date, but has Hafthor lifted over 500kg in a competitive environment?

[@northerners2828]

I thought he was choking..take a deep breath..

[@dazjackson1972]

When you're about to lift a weight that could put you in hospital - it's natural to get a little......apprehensive.

[@MisterBig04]

Every one of them had an uneven pull, with the left side lagging behind, faulty platform? weights? bar?

[@maxlongo306]

Some big company should give at least 2 million dollars as "motivation" prize.

[@maxa8838]

Official record almost breaked with 5kg. It will someday. But i remember one time when one guy break official record 35kg... legend.

[@syedalamgir5838]

G hicks will be the first person 505 kg lifting

[@NJDAVE]

He could very well be, but he needs to put on weight if he wants that lift. He will need to be 165 Kilos at least. It’s not a coincidence that the two guys to pull 500 were almost 100 pounds heavier than he is right now. You have to go “all in” if you want that lift: can’t have your cake and eat it 2…

[@brandonm4550]

Would love to see him pull 505. His progress the last couple of years is amazing.

[@Shonade_Malik]

Someday it'll be broken. Good luck to all the strongmen trying to break it!

[@DAD_GOKU]

graham hicks is what ryback aspired to be

[@dylanbrowne559]

I think if Graham hadn't pulled his hamstring 2 weeks out and had done the 470 Deadlift beforehand he would have got it no problem

[@immatthouse]

I think Jamal has a good chance if he devotes his training to just deadlifts with a suit and traps, and removed squat and bench. I know he’s devoted more to powerlifting, but it would only help carryover to his sumo

[@J.c410]

He is already a deadlift oriented powerlifter and he's no where near the size required to do this, stop kidding yourself.

[@immatthouse]

@@J.c410 he still has a shot in a few years. If he strictly focused on it, put on more size, prioritized the deadlift, he can do it. He was the lightest guy in the competition and tied for 4th? Don’t quote me on that

[@J.c410]

@@immatthouse he is waaaay too far and doesnt have the body composition for it, flat out impossible. Far bigger and stringer guys have been failing pretty hard at it for years while doing pretty much deadlift only.

Could Andre the Giant have been a powerlifter record holder ? Does anyone know the most he lifted ?
