    Damn, Adam has just made a video saying he has had the surgery on his Achilles (with the best Achilles surgeon in the country), but that he DOESN'T expect to be at the Deadlift World Championships. In fact he doesn't think he'll be competing again until next year now.

    Facts/Stats for Liz:
    Matt Ragg won the deadlft in the Final of WSM. In the last 10 years, the only guys who have done that are: Mitch Hooper, Oleksii, Trey/JF/Bish (they tied), Thor, Brian, Eddie. That's a pretty good list to be a part of. I want all of those guys in any comp with a max deadlift. Of those guys, only Trey has never pulled at least 1000 pounds (which has become the Gold Standard for being an elite deadlifter) in competition on a standard bar and height. Matt Ragg is a no brainer for that comp.

      @@user-jt6qd8ri4l It does matter, but not in the way that guy mean it. If Thor does 505 at Shaw´s it will be raw and outside a GL comp. Let that sink in, all the things that will changue. Just for starters Shaw´s probably will get head to head with the Arnold´s, wich btw, are also convincing Thor to pull 505 on the Elephant bar, so there is another comp doing things outside GL, wich gonna absolute sh*t on the Deadlift championship. Also, given it would be raw, strongman would turn a lot of deadlift events to Raw just so try to compete with Thor.

    Graham being leaner/lighter while retaining his strength is boding well for his prep
    I expect closer to the comp he will increase his mass and his power will go up along with the extra size/calories
    I think he has a good chance of getting the 505, or at least become very close.
    I know Hafthor isn't doing this comp, but he is 100% capable of breaking his own record again.

  • @tylergash3175
    @tylergash3175 Před 28 dny +1

    I think there’s a better chance we see it this year than last year. Hooper, Bobby, and Tom will likely get 450/455 and maybe 1 of the 3 will get 475, although I’d doubt it unless they peak specifically for it, which I don’t see them doing. Hixxy, Rauno, and Ragg will probably get 475, almost for sure on 450, maybe a skip involved. I think Hixxy and Ragg have a good shot at 505 but probably about a 30-40% chance. I think they both get it off of the floor if both are still in it, but fail at the lower part of the knee. I think Thor has the best shot pulling it at the SMOE. I believe with how easy 1000 was on the elephant bar with all the prep time he has.

Thor's name is a huge brand, and he doesn't want it to help a business that put out a documentary and media that previously tried to hurt his brand. Btw, the guy actually apologized to Thor, and admitted fault, with Thor acknowledging it's in the past, but has chosen to break ties and move on.
