people see the 500kg deadlift but dont see the dozen years of training that went into it. good work hafthor!
...01..
He had a few weeks training special to This after Arnolds and he was Always akward in deadlift suite. At 6'⁹ wow. He did it
ok????
Lifetime of training*
@Top Doge He's not wrong
That first lift:
0% form
501% raw strength
@Adam Dahlström DRe Nähä? Säger du det? Tack för att du berättade för mig Mr. Sherlock :)
”0% form
501% raw strength”
Syftade bara på att du skrev raw strength, så du behöver inte bli passivt aggressiv, ville bara dubbel kolla. Vet många som inte vet att sådana suits finns som lätt lägger på 30 kg extra
@@adamdahlstrom2095 501kg kräver väl dock rätt mycket råstyrka, eller? Tror även att han hade kunnat få upp 520kg den dagen. Därför, raw strength, yes - raw equipped, no.
@Adam Dahlström DRe Tror det var mer för att snärta Eddie Hall på näsan hehe
@Adam Dahlström DRe Thor för min del, självdå?
Powerlifters: “So are you in the 1000lb club?”
Hafthor Bjornsson: “Which lift?”
Ray williams squattet 490kg with knee sleves in a meet, Jamal Browner deadlifted 440kg @110kg without straps in a meet. Powerlifters deserve more credit
@@RavagoreTv I think a lot of that is because of how diverse the strongman events are, and they look like total monsters
@@lightspamorochi766 Its the king of the total strength
Thor
@@RavagoreTv
Powerlifting is a fucking joke!!!
The way they arch their back and have ZERO ROM on the bench press... Ridiculous and insulting!
0:25 Guy on the left waiting for a fist bump until today.
😂😂😂
LMAO
Dude... that form in the first lift.. spine cracking..
Think Eddie Hall would call that "like a cat taking a shit"
Hes holding the bar not in sync... Hes left hand is much closer to the plates then his right hand... Could be an optical illusion but its seems like that...
Honestly makes it even more impressive that he sucked at first.
Man i know! I like that as much as the increase in strength, his technique went from being absolute dog shite ugly to being sweet as!
Quite incredible he managed to lift it with that "form".
first lift
Mike Tyson: “I broke my back.”, “My back is broken. Spinal.”
The fact that he loved this comment made me an even bigger fan of him.
Marco *THPINAL*
300kg before you get the technique down isn't a bad place to start.
Best comment in the history of hafthor's channel!!! LOLOLOL
Thpinal
He doesn't even look human standing there just before the 501 lift.
1:42 - the secret of a heavy deadlift is to have a topless Larry wheels cheering on you.
Haha
@summit higley Thor is Mountain(6.9") , He can only be Dwarfed by *Oliver Ritchers* The Dutch Giant(7.2" Guy) or a taller Guy.
Ayo?
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.
Romans 6:23

Que sorpresa encontrar un canal al que estoy suscrito comentando aqui :)

@@daniarbol1815 y go take roids and give what he did a try if you think this way:D
@@daniarbol1815 you think you can do it without roids you loser?
@@JerseyPiney I dont think anybody could but hes still put mass amounts of dedication n effort into it a lot of it plays on genetics too
Absolute legend
One of the strongest person born on this planet ever
Congratulations to you and your family for the baby 👶
Appreciate you man. Thank you. All the best to you and your family!
@@Hafthorjulius Why did he say "one of the strongest"... THE strongest ever. Without question. Big Z and Brian Shaw are competition but nobody could beat 2020 Hafthor.
@@rabblerabbleRubble really? In think you should come back when he wins wsm another 3 or 4 times to enter in the same league as brian ,big z and marius lol ..Big z is guy who has done this for 20 years and won many competition over the years and add 4 WSM title to his name and he is the strongest presser ever ... Brian shaw on the other hand has 4 title as well and dont don't even get me started with what marius pudzianowski has achieve in this sport so all i am saying is halfthor is strongest but not the strongest of all time lol....... And one more thing your last line dose not make any sense when you say no one can beat him in 2020 lol its not about being strongest one year or two year its about legacy how many years on the Top or dominance
@@niks7443 thats just your opinion, im with others that think thor in his prime was the strongest of all time and he smoked the competition, if he didnt cut his career short he woulve continued to dominate the sport for years
@@niks7443 It doesn't matter how many titles you win - all that does it say that you were better than the competition. Big Z is the most successful strongman ever, but Hafthor (in my opinion) is the strongest ever. I think prime Big Z would lose to prime Hafthor. Pudzianowski was a great athlete and a great ambassador for strongman but he isn't in league with these guys.
That 7th place finish really hit me hard. Man went from 7th to 1st bc of hard work, determination, and consistency...inspirational
You *must* listen to Thor's interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger after he won his 3rd consecutive Arnold Strongman Classic.
The foot position and form on the first one shows talent. Horrible set up but still pulled a weight most can only dream about.
Everything from there shows the years of dedication and hard work. Amazing.
Most other lifters would damage their spine or something else lifting like that. You can see how good his body genetics are
Ever since seeing your 501kg, I’ve been training to reach 250kg by the end of the year. Just reached 235kg today thanks to motivation from you. Always the best, always unbeatable. Rooting for you!
Good luck man! I believe in you!!!
@@Hafthorjulius so inspirational
Dude you have to do it now and post a video in this comment. You got this, we all know you can do it.
Haftor telling he believes in you is the fucking best preworkout you can have. 250 is also a goal to me, and realising it's only half the world record i feel small. But fuck it, let's fight for it
Damn bro the man himself responded, can't stop now.
The physique progress over the years was impressive too. Thor went from being big to being a giant.
0:24 - Legend says he still waiting for a fist bump
The first lift shows how genetically gifted the guy is. Training for a short period of time and hardly knowing proper form and getting 300 kg.
I'm not sure how old he was or how much he weighed but if it's anywhere near the 200kg he weighs now, it really wasn't an impressive start to his strongman career.
@@ArtyCraftZ a 661 pound deadlift is incredibly impressive to start a strongman career no matter the weight.
@@Kyle111 300kg is very impressive for a man of average or even above average weight, but at 205kg that wasn't anywhere near even 2x bw.
@@ArtyCraftZ This isn't powerlifting, its all about maximum strength, irrespective of bodyweight
@@Lemmetry1234 Yet plenty of powerlifters 1/3rd of his weight can pull 300kg, that was my point. I'm not downplaying the nearly superhuman feat of deadlifting 501kg by saying that of course
Hafthor Bjornsson, you sir are a legend.
Monumental!

Tons of respect to you and your family, it's time for a new chapter in your life, you got children to worry about now, and stories to tell them when they are older, thank you for being an inspiration to all of us.
I watched this video so many times, but i can't stop watching this video again and again, amazing
Every year he looks younger 👀
My lower back was screaming after watching the first lift oml
Happy Birthday bro. You inspire many people. You are the true BEAST!
It’s a known fact that if a person goes gym and doesn’t comment on someone’s form in a weightlifting video their head explodes.
love the signature head nod after every lift
His calves are bigger than my future
They were measured at 23.25 inches. Biggest muscular calves ever probably
Honorable mention to Shaw, Benni Magnusson, Eddie Hall
@@yutmanrodreg3253 ma dude hittin us with facts
His calves are statistically bigger than the average man's head.
@Thor Odinson Leaner sure. No one’s had 23 inch calves. Ankles not as thick as Thor’s
59 cm calves are bigger than an average Quad just keep that in mind
Your most inspirational video to date. Thank you for this.
It's amazing to look back and see just how far you have come. Shows what hard work and dedication can do.
I’m 50 , just started deadlifting as part of my “get in shape” routine and you are the inspiration i needed. Cheers mate , shame you not competing any more , don’t think anyone could beat you for a while.
I'm also 50 and Thor is my hero and inspiration.
For real though, every deadlift and bag over bar event from 2018 onwards was an automatic win for Thor.

Hearing your wife cheering for you AND way louder than anyone else there AND being your number one fan, is absolutely PRICELESS!!!! Love it!!!!
Absolutely Absolutely yes. Well said. I also dream of having a girlfriend/ wife like Kelsey one day. ❤️
I STILL THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE FOR THE 510-515 kg DEADLIFT THAT DAY. 501 WAS WAY TOO EASY.
Just that 1kg to piss off eddie hall 😂

@@jimmyjames8573 cuz he's aimed for the 510kg+
@@void9120 Why would it piss him off? Eddie got millions from that and the record has set him up for life. Thor got nothing 😂 and is barely memorable. Didn't Eddie break his own record by like 35kg?

You're an extraordinary beast. Love you ❤️
Hard work and dedication pays off 👏🏼
Plateau: 300kg
Haftor: let me add another 200kg to that
201 😉
So good to see the journey captured this way.. the growth through dedication, commitment and effort..
That 472 at The Classic was so impressive! I remember seeing it live and was blown away. Not the heaviest but the most impressive imo. The 501 was going up and we all know it would because of all the hard work and progress that you did over the years. Amazing carrier!
Wow man your progression is an inspiration in itself. Amazing.
My two fav things:
- the hype when he lifted 473kg, with Larry Wheels and the entire Icelandic crew
- the monstrous size of this man when he lifted 501kg
I love every single lift and it's a pity he retired from the sport, he was just amazing to watch
He retired? 😮
@@addis8228 yea he's now pursuing boxing for a scheduled match with Eddie Hall that will happen next year in September 😓
@@andrewwinterdawn4115 omg really? He and Eddie? Boxing? Jesus....
@@andrewwinterdawn4115 very clever that he retired. He was the best. Those weights are destroying your body.
I thought exactly the same when I watched the 501kg lift again. No idea if it's the camera angle or the clothing or just his sheer size in the last one, but he looks so freaking massive during the 501kg lift. I wonder what his BW was compared to the ones where he lifts around 470-480kg.
Absolute legend and a great inspiration! Almost unbelievable how strong you are!
A human lifting half a tonne is just incredible!
Congratulations. You are one of a kind. Thx.
I always get extremely excited and pumped by these heavy deadlift by Hafthor! Thank you champ for being a huge motivator💪
What you have acheived in those 11 years of extremely hard work is nothing less than impressive. My biggest respect to you Thor.
i still can't get over the size of the man at 2:40. Hafthor looks unbelievable in his 501 lift.
Congratulations !!! U r the legend
At this point, "Mountain" doesn't even do him justice. The man's shoulders are wider than bus now
mountains... are bigger than buses... tho

Legendary stuff Hafthor , i've watched the vid of you lifting that 501 kg so many times, still can't get over how good your form was and how easily you lifted it.
How easily he lifted it hey? 🤔 Maybe since it wasn't 501 😂
@@ilovetherejects1666It was actually 520. They just said 501 to not hurt Eddie's feelings.
Massive respect Thor. You are the King.
Incredible career. The size of Thor at his last deadlift is beyond human. same with the lift. incredible accomplishments.
Well yeah roids will give you that lol
@@adamlorden2322 Sure, just completely undermine the years of hard work he put in to be successful and this strong. There are millions of guys who take roids but cant accomplish all this.
@@adamlorden2322 i don’t think strongman take roids
My back hurted just by watching that first lift :D
What an amazing journey, well done Hafthor!
Most people’s lifting career would be over if they lifted like that in the first clip. Shows how mad his strength is 😂
@Bobs Slong 😏😏 ok bro you keep rounding your lower back on deadlifts, thinking you won’t get injured. I know you can’t nail form 100% but how can you argue his form is ok in the first clip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@lewsaboy1645 i doubt you could get a 100% proper form on a heavy deadlift too
What a fucking incredible video this is! No matter how many times I watch it, gives me goosebumps every single time!
1:45 Larry Wheels was SO hyped lmao, good dude
The year on year comparison is incredible mate, you can see what your focus achieved. What amazing timing now to focus on health and the little one, keep on enjoying it!
Happy birthday Thor! You and your fellow strongmen, including the champions before you, are an inspiration to me. Watching you guys perform superhuman feats of strength has driven me to push my boundaries in every aspect of my life! I hope a 600+ lb deadlift is in my near future. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thor is a Straight up legend you were my inspiration to get back into power lifting keep up the good Work and stay in the game please You were made for this Nothing but respect from Florida USA 🇺🇸
And the biggest CZcams series ever, is about to commence, as Thor is determined to break the ATWR this December!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Imagine if he rode out his strongman career until his late 30s. I feel like Thor would break the deadlift record every year.
Easy way to an early death if he did that. Being a strongman at this level really takes a toll on the body.
His potential is just crazy! I'm gutted he has retired. He has so much more to give!
As cool as that would be, that would be dead from heart attack at 50 to be that big and strong and on the stronger steroids for that long.
@@Brukernavnn I agree. He's making the right decision as he's a financially stable father now. I just believe he was a legend, even if people out do him down the road.
@@garethl.2123 Just about every athlete in every sport will be out down later down the road. The times high school kids run in track would have put them in the Olympics in the past. Its all about how good you did in your day
You earned all the achievements thor, congratulations, & thank you for the motivation and the strength to continue at times🙆🏼♂️
Man you've grown so much in these years,... A man is as strong as their heart. Big fan of you... You're such an inspiration
When a man grows muscles on top of his muscles. Legend!
I will look up to your progress thor, your goals take time and work(no short cuts but pure grind), even legends started of somewhere. Thanks for the share and hope for the best to y'all.
Absolute hardwork and commitment to lift, glad you broke the record without getting hurt
Inspiring! Great video. You are legendary
Watching the first deadlift, hafthor put tremendous amount of size to his body. And what an absolute BEAST he looks at his 501 attempt! 💪🏻💪🏻
He was still 360lbs/165kg there
Man I am gonna miss you competing!
SUCH GREATNESS, it is true inspiring ,you are a living legend; RESPECT
You are amazing “Thor Power” !!!!!!
You're a living beast rolling this planet god bless you ❤️
Thor I hope to see you break many more records in the future, especially your deadlift. I consider myself blessed to be able to be alive in an era where powerlifting and strongman are evolving as quickly as they are. So many great lifters breaking each other's records on a monthly basis. Wishing you much love and great health from the USA!
He’s retired
@@lamk9729 All the greats say that 5 times before they really are. Look at Favre, Ali, Foreman, Beast Mode, etc.
I was gonna skip training today, but now I wont. thanks for the video man, hope all is well!
Wow man what progress you have made!
True legend! Respect!
11 years of work in less than 4 minutes! Amazing
on the last one he is huge
His weight was 206 kilos barefoot, I believe at the Arnold 2019 he was the same too.
He weighed more than a gorilla at that time.
Yes but you know guys, his shoulders have widened since the first video, symptomatic of taking anabolic steroids... maybe I'm wrong but 85% sure
Congrats dude
I remember watching your progress man, unbelievable
Serious question:
If you have even the slightest memory how did that first lift in the video felt in comparison to the 501?
My back cracked with that first one while 501 was beautiful!
Im waiting for "home warriors" who will tell this man isnt the holder of 501 kg world record, i mean i love both Eddie and Thor, but that is just sad how people can be so stupid and jealous to think that this record wasnt official, you can see this from his lasts deadlifts all the work he is done.
Big love my man, remember that there are always people who hate for nothing, but there also people who want become like you, youre there exemple.
Im sorry for bad english, but i think you get the idea.
Good luck for next year buddy, i trust in you
Its a hella lot of work and a big achievement but no hate or shis like that eddie had more pressure because he did it in front of a 10000 people crowd and thor did it well....in his home
@@monkemaster1337
True
It's in Guinness book of world records though so you don't have to worry. Fak them
501Kg is still 501Kg. It doesn't matter where you lift it.
@@monkemaster1337 Well, plenty of STRONGMEN claim that they perform better in front of the crowd so... Your argument is invalid. Beside, the "competition" at which Eddie set the record wasn't really a competition. It was organised around Eddie, he was allowed to set the rules, it took place in his neighbourhood, his personal equipment was used. You have the right to criticize Hafthor but you can't deny that Eddie's record wasn't set in an objective way.
Goosebumps on top of Goosebumps! Every single time I watch this Unfathamably Legendary video!
#TheKing 👑
Probably the best video for anyone looking for deadlift motivation
the signature head nod you are a legend
They didnt need cgi for thanos. They should've just painted his body purple
Incredible. Awesome video. Strongman takes longer than any other sport to be truly dominant at
It's been beat and I'm in awe. Damn dude congratulations on your success.

Impressive how the hitching disappears as you progressed to heavier weights. Genuinely makes them look easier!
Respect big man 👍😏🥇
You came a long way good stuff 🔥💪
years of dedication and hard work. i don't know you but i sure as hell am proud of you!
