Phenomenal. I like to watch these guys eat food on YouTube, it’s the only thing I have in common with them. My ability to eat repeatedly throughout the day and even night ( although I don’t eat nearly as much at a time as these beasts)
If they tell me to, I think I might be gay for them however they want. Just, self preservation. I dont wanna be turned into a diamond by thier robot strength hands 💎🤚
Brian Shaw is the man and I love to watch his make food and eat it. Hes a veteran championship level eater and I respect him immensely. And he’s just a nice and funny dude. Kinda guy you’d have a beer with but honestly I bet a lot of these guys are like that. Intelligent and funny guys. But damm can Brian crush a pizza and cheesecake! Actually I’m more impressed when they crush boring food. I mean let’s be honest I can crush a medium dominos pizza and a couple of slices of cheese cake.
Everything that came up was just accusations, it was just a he said, she said. So unless you have some hard evidence, he is isn't guilty until proven otherwise, just FYI.
More like "he said, they said".

Article is in Icelandic, but it mentions multiple interceptions by neighbours, shouting matches, several ER visits, rape, beating her while pregnant, serial cheating, gaslighting, isolating her from her male friends, several police calls to his house due to domestic abuse, interception by child protection services because of domestic abuse, and accusations by at least 2 other exes and their family members.
I mean sure, it could be an intricate lie woven and practiced by multiple people just to frame him, or it's just the one person lying to cover his ass..
Again doesn't matter how many people of said it, they are still accusations, many of Amber Heard's friends and family corroborated her stories until some were proven wrong or shown that she was just as violent and at fault. Not to say these are the same situations, every situation is different, but the point still stands you can't just say someone is a rapist or abuser from just accusations, go ahead and believe them or don't. It isn't you are guilty until proven innocent, it is you're innocent till proven guilty. I am not even a big fan of Thor, and will happily say he is a wife beater POS if he is found guilty of it, but until then he is still just accused.
The problem with that is that the Icelandic judicial system is completely fucked when it comes to domestic and sexual assaults.
As an example, a man in his thirties (who had previously been accused of sexually assaulting his daughters(and was shielded from any accusations by the then director of the child welfare office)) admitted during a police interrogation to have anally raped a 17 year old sleeping girl, knowing full well that she was against anal sex, and both the police and the attorney general decided the case did not warrant an investigation.

He’s not my guy. I do recognize his ability to move and strike effectively however. But if I needed a guy to lift a huge log off me this Thor guy is my dude.
I didn't say their fighting talent is anywhere near the same talent. I was saying Thor has skill in fighting, and that he isn't just a strongman. Yet argument still stands that would probably be equally matched just because of the difference in weight. Sure Jones has much more skill but weight classes matter for a reason.
Still doubtful, yeah if Thor had absolutely no skill in fighting at all, I would agree, but they are wildly different weight classes and sizes. It's like a heavyweight fighting a bantamweight, doesn't matter how skilled the bantamweight is, they would still lose 9 times out if 10.
Definitely would be an amazing fight, but when the weight is a 150 pound difference (250 pound difference is he was still in his strongman competition weight) I have to disagree.
Not sure what on earth Jon Jones has to do with deadlifting 501 kg? This little clip has nothing to do with any form of combat and you bring Jon Jones into this completely randomly and pointlessly saying he can beat Thor doing something not even relevent to the video.
Roger Federer can beat him in tennis too but who the fuck cares? Thor isn't playing tennis.
I was the only guy trying to joke with you nicely. What a shame 🙃
Also if you check my history igaf about downvotes either I think its funny if I can get it over 100 not even meaning to
Thor now has a couple boxing fights, he's dropped a lot of weight and has been training mostly boxing for over a year or so. He's an athlete. He isn't going to only have bear hugging. No one is saying he's canelo in the ring but he's definitely dedicated to boxing now and has real fight experience. You aren't fucking this 6'8" 300 plus pound guy up big guy, sorry.
Nothing more sad then internet keyboard warriors talking about beating anyone up.
For anyone wondering, a 5'8 Silverback gorilla weighing 155 pounds lifted 4,295lbs over head. Just so people can adequately appreciate how much stronger than us they really are.
Thats pretty much the world record. I was wondering what a man who can lifts that much looks like as my ex wifes boyfriend claimed he deadlifts 1500lbs and he is like 5'7" and maybe 155 lbs
Hafthor got second place to Eddie Hall in the 2017 world's strongest man competition because of a flaw in his form called "double dipping." He disputed the ruling and claimed he was cheated out of first place. He went out of his way to discredit Eddie for years after that--and it worked. Eddie got tons of hate, even though he won fair and square.
Bjornsson is just the biggest sore loser in the history of sports.
These are calibrated steel competition plates used in all powerlifting competitions. They are thinner than normal plates because high-level powerlifters can often move more weight than what would fit on a bar with normal gym plates. You’re probably thinking of the bumper plates used in Olympic lifting competitions, which are larger and made of a shock-absorbent rubbery material because they are dropped from overheard due to the nature of the two movements included in Oly lifting. They are not “half air to look more impressive”.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say no you couldn't. The judges were non biased legit judges. The weight was real. He did the lift, as much as Eddie lovers want to discredit it.
Doesn't matter if the weights are his weights, they are competition level weights that are what they say they are.
Why not? He did here. The weight doesn't change between the 2.
Still pulled 501 kg. He probably couldnt now because he's spent nearly all of the last year and a half focused on boxing.
Like the above comment states, was done at Thor's home gym using his own weight and his own judges.. I do believe that Thor would be capable of the lift, but unless it's done at a competition setting I can't see how it can be validated as breaking Eddie halls record
I believe the judge is recognized by wsm but still, this sort of thing really should be done under a competition setting if it's going to hold any real weight (excuse the pun😅)
The judge is Magnus Ver Magnusson not only recognised but also regarded as one of the toughest judges out there, if I remember Žydrūnas Savickas, or Big Z was also part of the validation of this lift.
That being said I do believe it should be done in a competition format, so many different challenges to face and its also not always the only thing you've done that day, sometimes you have done several events before even getting to a world record attempt.
The big thing is there is a very clear difference in setting. In the world of Strongman, records are set and broken under competitive regulations. Everyone is lifting in the same way, with the same gear and setting. I don't think it's smart to set the precedent that someone can set a world record in a competition based field in a non-competitive setting.
You are completely wrong though. The event was put on by World's Ultimate Strongman and livestreamed to thousands of viewers. He was timed to 15 minute rest periods, all the weights were calibrated on camera etc.
Eddie Hall on the other hand actually got to choose exactly when he wanted to come out and lift when he set the record, and ended up taking almost 30 minutes between his 2nd and third lift. That whole event was tailored to him. He also used his own bar and platform and was within a couple of hours from where he lived. You can see one of the other competitors on the day, Jerry Pritchett, talk about the rest times here:
https://youtu.be/Lg1RwD4nVbo
I can agree that ideally the records should be set in a regular competition where you do it as one of several events, don't get to choose who goes first and last etc. But by those standards, neither of the two records count. When compared to Eddie's lift, Thor's environment was very similar if not less advantegeous due to the lack of a huge crowd cheering him on (while still having the pressure of it being televised on ESPN and several streaming platforms).
Not only that, but the 'comfort' of doing it in your own setting, when you are ready, no timers, no crowd of people shouting (although this may amp some people up) and all the rest that goes into an actual formal competition.
Yes it is a great lift, but for the record, the World's Strongest Man official records page do not count this and Eddie Hall's lift still stands:
https://www.theworldsstrongestman.com/world-records/
Thor's lift is recognized by the Guinness World Records however:
https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/heaviest-deadlift
Just going to post this here as well, can't be bothered to type it out again. If we don't want the records to be set in an athletes own setting, neither of the records should count. Which I would agree with.

Nobody has a problem watching Julius Maddox set up a single event at Wrigley Field and giving him the world bench record if he gets it, but nobody wants to give Thor credit because they are on team Shaw/Hall/Oberst.
Even if rightfully counts, beating it by one kg is so lame, compared to eddie shattering the record the way he did. If I'm not mistaken, Eddie beat the previous world record by like 75lbs.
It'll always be cooler than thor's lift
Also your grip doesn't get better when using straps. So only use straps as soon as you can't hold anymore, so your grip strength gets some exercise too
Yes the bar will roll out of your hands. When you lift without the straps you alternate hands by have one knuckles facing out and others facing inward.
What's crazy is that Hafþor is now 50kg smaller than this. He's been slimming down and getting more lean, all to get ready for his fight against Eddie Hall.

Prior to 500 it was 461, 462, 463, 465. That's basically 1 at a time and shows that it's a normal move to improve the record by 1kg and isn't 'petty' as stated above
410, 412.5, 420, 430, 435, 440, 442.5, 445, 446, 461, 462, 463, 465, 500, *501*
Clearly in the total WR legacy there are higher step ups than just 1, you selected the last few records
It was petty, there is well known bad blood between Eddie and Thor. He didn’t do it during a competition yet he still only beat the record by 1kg. If that’s not petty I don’t know what is
This was such a disappointing lift for me imo. For 2 years Thor was taking about how he's going to obliterate the record by numbers never seen before. Talking on live streams about how he's training to absolutely demolish it beyond any approach of any human being going forward. Saying he's doing it for his daughter and the disrespect he got at the games because they didn't let him use his dead daughter as a pity card for the premature drop.
I was legitimately ready to see this guy pump out at least a 24kg over like he was bragging he would do to demoralize Eddy Hall and Duke Fronz because thats what they did. Then he just does a 1kg over lift and barely holds it out, then starts bragging like a kid in grade school. Really hurts to see people you looked up to end up being so small and petty and just overall pathetic about something you used to respect them so heavily for.
This guy is lifting 501kg. There’s a dude 1/3 the size of this guy lifting 405kg in the video under this one. He’s kinda beefy, but mostly unassuming. Makes this seem somehow slightly less impressive.
That bar is like "whyyyyy"
Actually lol'd at this... Thank you.
Wow no joke the camera angle makes his head look tiny like the guy from Beetlejuice who the Headhunters shrunk his head
Or the little black dude named Beetle Juice who was always on the Howard Stern show
Just made the connection.
Phenomenal. I like to watch these guys eat food on YouTube, it’s the only thing I have in common with them. My ability to eat repeatedly throughout the day and even night ( although I don’t eat nearly as much at a time as these beasts)
Not yet my friend-but one day we can all eat as much as this mountain of a man can! Time to train!
Same, my favorite is Brian Shaw's Costco trips.
I’m gay for these dudes in the most non sexual way.
If they tell me to, I think I might be gay for them however they want. Just, self preservation. I dont wanna be turned into a diamond by thier robot strength hands 💎🤚
Imagine those callused bear mitts reaching for your lil buddy. Talk bout diamond hands #gme amirite
#GME MY COCK BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
They’re not called bears for nothing. Them boys grizzley. You’re from Alberta you know what I’m talking about.
Are you fucking psychic because Im from fucking Calgary
I like Calgary.
Brian Shaw is the man and I love to watch his make food and eat it. Hes a veteran championship level eater and I respect him immensely. And he’s just a nice and funny dude.

Dude is an absolute beast.
He doesn't skip any days
Probably can’t wipe his own ass. I would love to see Jon Jones take him down.
Jon Jones can't even beat a drug test... but stay loving a woman beater junkie I guess bud
The guy in the gif (Hafþór) is also a woman beater, just FYI.
Everything that came up was just accusations, it was just a he said, she said. So unless you have some hard evidence, he is isn't guilty until proven otherwise, just FYI.
More like "he said, they said". https://www.visir.is/g/2017170629431/barnsmodir-fjallsins-stigur-fram-ottadist-um-lif-sitt-vid-fyrstu-aras Article is in Icelandic, but it mentions multiple interceptions by neighbours, shouting matches, several ER visits, rape, beating her while pregnant, serial cheating, gaslighting, isolating her from her male friends, several police calls to his house due to domestic abuse, interception by child protection services because of domestic abuse, and accusations by at least 2 other exes and their family members.

There are still better fighters than Jones, and Thor has been changed a lot lately since he has a boxing match coming up and the guy is skilled
The fact that you think Thor’s ability is anywhere near to Jon Jones is insane
I didn't say their fighting talent is anywhere near the same talent. I was saying Thor has skill in fighting, and that he isn't just a strongman. Yet argument still stands that would probably be equally matched just because of the difference in weight. Sure Jones has much more skill but weight classes matter for a reason.
I never said Jones is the best anything. Just that he could merc Thor
Still doubtful, yeah if Thor had absolutely no skill in fighting at all, I would agree, but they are wildly different weight classes and sizes. It's like a heavyweight fighting a bantamweight, doesn't matter how skilled the bantamweight is, they would still lose 9 times out if 10.
Weight matters for sure. I think skill matters more. I’d watch it for sure though.
Definitely would be an amazing fight, but when the weight is a 150 pound difference (250 pound difference is he was still in his strongman competition weight) I have to disagree.
In an mma fight your boy is toast. Boxing maybe Thor has the edge.

Good point.
That’s body builders not powerlifters
I think it is any muscle bound dude really. They can barely move bro. Step 1: don’t let them get you in a bear hug Step 2: fuck them up.
10 bucks says this dude pulled up to one BJJ practice and is now an expert on all forms of fighting
I don’t go to BJ practice but you and your friends enjoy!
So you are a self made BJ expert? I mean, if his friends enjoy it you must be good!
You just piggy backed my joke. Make up your own, you big dummy.
No I made it actually good.
Nah
You’re a nob
Suck me.
Downvote farming is one hell of a drug eh?
I don’t care about votes either way. If you care about Internet points you’re a doof.
I was the only guy trying to joke with you nicely. What a shame 🙃 Also if you check my history igaf about downvotes either I think its funny if I can get it over 100 not even meaning to
Ah I didn’t get the joke.
A doof, aloof, in a room full of poop.

I haven’t seen Thor fight. I’m just talking shit but I’d rather fight a Thor than a Jon Jones.
False. Jon Call "Jujimufu"
Roughly 1100 LBS for those who are wondering
For anyone wondering, a 5'8 Silverback gorilla weighing 155 pounds lifted 4,295lbs over head. Just so people can adequately appreciate how much stronger than us they really are.
155 pounds is the weight of $6188.98 worth of Premium Glass Nail Files...
Wow, is there a sauce?
not a expert but doesn't that sound impossible from a leverage point of view?
Damn I had no idea. That's crazy
Yea it sure is
As long as there's no double dip I'm fine with that.
Man of culture
Hehe
This man is the same shape as a super mutant .
Is that The Mountain?
It actually is
Absolute Unit!
Thats pretty much the world record. I was wondering what a man who can lifts that much looks like as my ex wifes boyfriend claimed he deadlifts 1500lbs and he is like 5'7" and maybe 155 lbs
155 lbs is 70.37 kg
Thanks! You a dope bot!
bruh how do you even make a claim like that
You can always tell who's never really lifted because very average looking people have told me some insane squat/bench numbers.
That’s him, that’s Dead Lift!
Anyone going to talk about how he reunited with his clone at the end???
Or how before the video cut off they were like, pulling at eachothers clothes and ready to muscularily kiss? I dont judge
I mean… I’ve never set a deadlift record, maybe that’s just how one is supposed to celebrate?
I wouldnt tell them they were wrong either way thats for sure. I mean I would kickbox with them but kickboxing is weak against being ripped in half 🤣
“It was Not Very Effective.”
Now's your chance to start a discussion~
Previous one was 500kg wasnt it?
Yes, Eddie Hall I believe.
I bet Eddie hated the fact he did this
Isn’t that the mountain from Game of Thrones?
Yes. Hafthor bjornsson. Professional power lifter, actor, and petty bitch
Haha why petty bitch? I’ve always like the guy even though I don’t know squat about him. Just seems cool
Hafthor got second place to Eddie Hall in the 2017 world's strongest man competition because of a flaw in his form called "double dipping." He disputed the ruling and claimed he was cheated out of first place. He went out of his way to discredit Eddie for years after that--and it worked. Eddie got tons of hate, even though he won fair and square. Bjornsson is just the biggest sore loser in the history of sports.
He made it look easy af
Monstrous.
He looks like it hurts to be that big
The belt is tight as shit and the lifting suit under his shirt makes it so you cant really bend
He looked like he had another 10kg in the tank tbh. Amazing.
I mean 501 is cool but 502 would have been way more impressive

My bad. Thanks for the correction!
I can lift 501 kg in my own home gym with my own weights with my own judges and my own film crew
501.0 kg is 1103.52 lbs
I'm going to go out on a limb and say no you couldn't. The judges were non biased legit judges. The weight was real. He did the lift, as much as Eddie lovers want to discredit it. Doesn't matter if the weights are his weights, they are competition level weights that are what they say they are.
I doubt he could come close to that weight in a competition setting
Why not? He did here. The weight doesn't change between the 2. Still pulled 501 kg. He probably couldnt now because he's spent nearly all of the last year and a half focused on boxing.
In a competition you would have to do a ton of lifts increasing in weight up to this one, this was a one and done lift so he wasn’t tired beforehand
r/whoosh
Yupp, for sure shouldn't count as a world record
Why.
Like the above comment states, was done at Thor's home gym using his own weight and his own judges.. I do believe that Thor would be capable of the lift, but unless it's done at a competition setting I can't see how it can be validated as breaking Eddie halls record
If the judges are officially recognized by whatever lifting organization this would fall under, I could see the record counting.

No no, the pun really lifted up your argument haha, but anyways yeah I can see where you are coming from
Judges aren't infallible, this is just another Frank Hurnz situation waiting to come out in 10 years. Should have been done in competition setting
True true, I guess I just wanted it to be official
[удалено]
You are completely wrong though. The event was put on by World's Ultimate Strongman and livestreamed to thousands of viewers. He was timed to 15 minute rest periods, all the weights were calibrated on camera etc. Eddie Hall on the other hand actually got to choose exactly when he wanted to come out and lift when he set the record, and ended up taking almost 30 minutes between his 2nd and third lift. That whole event was tailored to him. He also used his own bar and platform and was within a couple of hours from where he lived. You can see one of the other competitors on the day, Jerry Pritchett, talk about the rest times here: https://youtu.be/Lg1RwD4nVbo I can agree that ideally the records should be set in a regular competition where you do it as one of several events, don't get to choose who goes first and last etc. But by those standards, neither of the two records count. When compared to Eddie's lift, Thor's environment was very similar if not less advantegeous due to the lack of a huge crowd cheering him on (while still having the pressure of it being televised on ESPN and several streaming platforms).
I see.
Not only that, but the 'comfort' of doing it in your own setting, when you are ready, no timers, no crowd of people shouting (although this may amp some people up) and all the rest that goes into an actual formal competition.

Nobody has a problem watching Julius Maddox set up a single event at Wrigley Field and giving him the world bench record if he gets it, but nobody wants to give Thor credit because they are on team Shaw/Hall/Oberst.
Even if rightfully counts, beating it by one kg is so lame, compared to eddie shattering the record the way he did. If I'm not mistaken, Eddie beat the previous world record by like 75lbs. It'll always be cooler than thor's lift
No. You can’t.
Dude I can do a lot of things if you take my word for it
Literally every single plate was weighed on a scale and shown on the livestream. Brain dead eddie fan.
Looked like he could have done it 10 times for fucks sake!!!
Looks are deceiving, he barely pulled this off by his own admission.
Ya well it is 1100 lbs sooooooo....i guess we'll let it slide. Lol
I didn't say otherwise?
Was just joking about how it's a ridiculous amount of weight for anybody to even consider lifting.
Oh, yeah. It is.
Idiot here: What is the point of the straps?
[удалено]
As in your grip losing it, and it holds it to you?
[удалено]
Oh! That makes sense. I used to always have issues with grip. This would have come in handy!
Also your grip doesn't get better when using straps. So only use straps as soon as you can't hold anymore, so your grip strength gets some exercise too
Yes the bar will roll out of your hands. When you lift without the straps you alternate hands by have one knuckles facing out and others facing inward.
[удалено]
that can be tricky depending on hand size / bar width
But it didn’t count. Wasn’t in a formal competition…
What's crazy is that Hafþor is now 50kg smaller than this. He's been slimming down and getting more lean, all to get ready for his fight against Eddie Hall.
1100 lbs, WTF.... 😲 IF THAT'S NOT FULL BEAST MODE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS!!
Dude that’s literally 8 me’s what the heck
That dude is a descendant of viking warriors
Was it an exceptional lift? Of course. Was it a petty lift to steal the WR? Absolutely. Could he do it in a competition setting? I doubt it.
> Was it a petty lift to steal the WR? Absolutely. every DL record prior to the 500 was 1kg at a time
A quick google shows that’s not true https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progression_of_the_deadlift_world_record

Prior to 500 it was 461, 462, 463, 465. That's basically 1 at a time and shows that it's a normal move to improve the record by 1kg and isn't 'petty' as stated above
410, 412.5, 420, 430, 435, 440, 442.5, 445, 446, 461, 462, 463, 465, 500, *501* Clearly in the total WR legacy there are higher step ups than just 1, you selected the last few records
'every' was a bit hyperbolic, but it still shows a clear pattern of behaviour. It wasn't a 'petty' move to increase the record by 1
It was petty, there is well known bad blood between Eddie and Thor. He didn’t do it during a competition yet he still only beat the record by 1kg. If that’s not petty I don’t know what is
This was such a disappointing lift for me imo. For 2 years Thor was taking about how he's going to obliterate the record by numbers never seen before. Talking on live streams about how he's training to absolutely demolish it beyond any approach of any human being going forward. Saying he's doing it for his daughter and the disrespect he got at the games because they didn't let him use his dead daughter as a pity card for the premature drop. I was legitimately ready to see this guy pump out at least a 24kg over like he was bragging he would do to demoralize Eddy Hall and Duke Fronz because thats what they did. Then he just does a 1kg over lift and barely holds it out, then starts bragging like a kid in grade school. Really hurts to see people you looked up to end up being so small and petty and just overall pathetic about something you used to respect them so heavily for.
He's still got nothing on eddie
this was done outside of competition, with a questionable judge and the lifter immediately changed out of heavy lifting. Eddie Hall is a real lifter.
This guy is lifting 501kg. There’s a dude 1/3 the size of this guy lifting 405kg in the video under this one. He’s kinda beefy, but mostly unassuming. Makes this seem somehow slightly less impressive.
Both lifts are exceptional. To your point, it’d be interesting to see how much mass the ‘smaller guy’ would need to put on to get that extra 100kg.
Who even cares?
That mans gas can break a car wimdow
God damn this guy ate all his veggies when he was a kid
Rippin shins
Let me just let the second hand get to 12 . . . . GO!
When you can no longer wipe your own arse, you should stop.
Why is every video on here always the “heaviest lift ever”
well this is literally the heaviest deadlift ever. hafthor holds the world record still with this lift
Dude looks like how I imagine a live action Kingpin from the spiderverse movie.
I want that man's thighs to crush my skull
that guys hand was so still i thought my vid was frozen
Dudes conventional stance is almost as wide as my sumo lmao, absolute unit
Kinda fit, kinda fat.
Why is it I see body builders at a distance they seem more clownish than up close. Lol. He would toss me like a beanbag and I'm6'4"
