    Dear Haftor Bjornsson, without a doubt, you are the strongest man in the world, and I am convinced that you will triumph at the Arnold next month. Your unwavering determination and incomparable strength are a true example. Furthermore, I know that in 2025 you will achieve a new world record, leaving everyone speechless. Although I know the road has been full of obstacles, I want to remind you that your sweet Grace watches over you from heaven, sending you her love and strength with every lift. You are a true champion, and your courage inspires everyone around you. Greetings from Paraguay 🇵🇾

    Dear Hafthor, you already did 6 reps with the super heavy 400 (882) and after that, ascended with the natural stones *upto the final weights:* pressed the 137 (302) Juji stone ✅, stood up with your 151 (333) stone to a comfortable platform positioning ✅, and BOTH gripped, and lapped your 194 (428) Tombstone 2.0 stone ✅. I know you will shoulder it in your last heavy Stone session. We are extremely happy and proud of you for today's awesome session! It was Phenomenal! 💪🏻👑❤️

    If Thor comes in the top 5 it’s a fantastic result. People need to stop telling him to win this contest. There’s no pressure on him to beat such a strong field on his very first contest back. If he keeps on this pace, he’s EASILY the top guy to beat in another 12 months. In the meantime it’s just about risk management and getting in the event-specific training

      ​@@youtubeconnollyfamily No, he is THE Strongest ever. Strongest ever is who has lifted the most, not who won more comps which is relative to the competitors involved.
      *PEAK BRUTE STRENGTH:*
      Deadlift, Squat, Bench and Log:
      Brian: [467.5], [410], [245*], [211] = 1,333.5
      Eddie: 500, [405], 280, 213 = 1,398

      For Americans:
      B: [1031], [904], [540*], [465] = 2,940
      E: 1102, [893], 617, 470 = 3,082

      Key:
      Numbers which are within [ ] brackets are done during training or not sanctioned by a governing body and not infront of a credible referee.
      The * indicates that no actual 1 rep max was done but a double (2 reps) were converted into a speculative 1RM using a standard 1RM calculator.
      Below are only claims/ no video proof:
      - Z's Squat and Bench
      - B's Squat
      - E's Squat
      Therefore nobody can prove them with irrefutable evidence, and nobody knows whether they actually happened or not.
      Additionally,
      1. Brian's Squat is not even source quoted, it's just mentioned in Wikipedia without any reference (where any unauthorized person could have edited).
      2. Eddie also has a 300 (661) Bench but it's equipped.
      3. Zydrunas's Deadlift is 1 inch deficit. However his best standard height DL is lower than that: 435 (959).
