Bavarian Stone Lift, Boat Pull and Fingal Fingers

Have you ever considered a moving event for max? Static events could be for reps on the same show to avoid to much pressure on the athletes and then injuries. Think about it this way, small distance, say about 4 or 5 meters. The athlete chooses the weight and has to carry it in their hands/back without dropping for a "good lift", if they succeed the weight goes up like a rising bar event, distance is the tie breaker for same weight, and time would be out of the equation so they don't have to rush and something goes wrong. This would be great for farmers, frame and yoke, but if you want to go crazy use a tow bar to add the 4th, 5th, maybe 6th truck in a truck pull for max event. I think Giants Live team is very smart when choosing events, and idk how dangerous moving events for max would be, but I think it is at least a worth discussing idea. I hope you consider it.

@@gabrielpichorim8191 But there still have to be a time limitation (even if they would only use distance as a tie breaker) because otherwise they can wait as much as they want.

YEAH DUDE, ALPHA BRUTE MASTER

that moment was so alpha it turned my neighbours chihuahua in to a wolf

Absolutely no doubt

@Charles Tinsman Cry about it, Charles.

Yeah that was an incredible spectacle. People said the 500kg would never be seen in his generation. They said it was impossible. What he did was astounding. I think people forget that he didn't just beat the record by 2kg, 5kg or even 10kg - he beat it by 36kg!! That lift set a standard that had never been seen before. It was in a different league, and wasn't an incremental, tiny increase - he annihilated the record by a huge margin.

He had 220 easily if he pushed with his legs

@@dongatello6969 "pushed with his legs" you got brain damage I see.

@@nom6758 You know what I mean dude

@@dongatello6969 prolly he doesn't

Eddie is probably one of the most impressive modern strongmen. Insane that a ‘small’ strongman managed to set records like that, and figuratively leaping the deadlift record

What impresses me the most is how long he holds it once its up

@@Dylan-pt1iv not only that but eddie passed the record right before the 500 kilo lift. And a bunch of other pulls before that. Thor pull 2 pounds more being fresh and at home. Shouldn't count

This guy's are amazing.

@@potatotot4829 eddie was fresh too tf you talking little kid?

@@Fabriziofilms he had to do several more lifts before that...I don't know what your definition of "fresh" is but it obviously must be different from mine

I second this notion

@@mindofmark742 You second the motion?

@@joeya5438 aye

@@mindofmark742 Great! I'll third that!

"After Mark retires" Ha, good one.

HAHA

That pain was nothing for him it was the pain of making his family walk through hell with him that hurt him the most

@@hasdaboss wdym

@@xped2943 He said in an interview he imagined some real fucked shit to get proper angry for the lift, that's why he looks dead inside while lifting

@@will4924 thats just Bullshit

@@luciferhuey6285 Or you could just say "show me the interview where he said that." No need to be an ass about it.

imagine in a few thousand years a dude is gonna deadlift 1 ton with ease :D thats the human race!

Same with the first 1000lb deadlift by Andy bolton

@@iteazzxgaming1132 The record might be better by one individual but all the humns in general should get weaker as we don't really need strength anymore in the skynet era.

I actually think that the 500lb log is more impressive

@@iteazzxgaming1132 that’s biologically impossible.

It’s good event

Thor had so much benefit from his size compared to hall/hollands. Size does matter in truck/plane pulls

@@cfields8507 Hall was nearly as heavy as Thor at that time

@@cfields8507 Thor and Eddie were around the same weight here. Either way, doing in 32 seconds what those 2 (Terry has won the truck pull at WSM and other big events before) couldn't do in 1 minute is crazy

Well said - very true comment

T H O R 🔥

Greatest strength achievement of our generation, will be forever immortalised.

@Andrew Evans that's a good thing, may we forever improve and surpass our predecessors!

@NAGATO UZUMAKI I dont think its humanly possible unless like Shaquille O’Neal and some huge russian warrior get a kid that ends up 7’5 with the Hurceles gene and a Francis Ngannou build

without leg drive even lol... btw i think he pressed 220 on axle

@@EagleFitnesss yes in training

If he was hydrated.

@@TobiasDettinger impossible.

he tried and failed

I loved how he held it and looked around when others would have put it down.

That's actually true. I've been watching this since the Mariusz Pudzianowski days and it never gets old. I love it.

They already make more than any other lifting sport

@@Cin9999 bodybuilders make more money, to achieve their physique they have to lift

@@ivandrago72 1. Learn to form proper sentences. 2. No lol bodybuilders dont earn shit.

True that

He's 6'3? I thought he's 5'6

@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971 a lot of people think he’s short, but it’s just cause of his size and weird body structure 😂 6’3” is a little stretch though since that’s what he claimed back then. Realistically he’s more 6’2”.

eddie is definitely not 6'3 i met him last year and on a good day in decent shoes hes maybe 6'2

Eddie is 5’8-5’10 and being short is easier for deadlifting

@@Smoothyoki if you really think Eddie is only 5’8-5’10, that cannot be farther from the truth 🤣 if you see him stand next to people who are 6’1-6’3, he’s right up there with them like Larry Wheels, Mark Felix, and others.

That's it , there is nothing else much in his name🤣

@@IRONRIDER97 He’s won many other world records besides that.

Eyo wtf you doing here

@@IRONRIDER97 he also had the axle press wr up until a few days ago and won world's strongest man 2017?

That's why he used figure of eigths.

always good to have some power left to get future records ;-)

@@quelandil5738 lol true

@@quelandil5738 Exactly. With a bonus of £5K a time I would do the same.

@@carlisroy6666 exactly =D why go 1kg more up than necessary. And who could blame anyone doing it, still not a lot of money in strongman

Yeah that was amazing. He was so chilled out while doing it too, he was barely even grimacing or shaking! This was hard of course, but also straightforward for him.

I can't even do 1!!!!!

In under a minute

I think MMA and other combat sports athletes would qualify

Kids these days

Cringe.

@@adamgaming1309 😂😂

What?

I agree

1 kilo isn't really any different. And ots so small a weight, he may not have even lifted more depending on how accurate the weights are.

So much energy in the room, it was awesome. Hall just pull the bar so high, with an insane mental approach. A pure intense beasty moment. I love it too

Hafthor is much taller than Eddie and he seemed to struggle less, so Eddie's was much more dramatic.

@@joaogarcia6170 Yea Thor also had 3 damn years extra you dosser. Thor couldnt even budge 480 of the ground back when Eddie pulled 500 so whats ur point? If i bench 300x8 now and you come back 5 years later and do 9, are you more impressive?

Here's why Eddie gets worshipped more: 1. first mover advantage (the first man to lift half a ton) 2. psychological round number 500 kg was lifted (with a nice alias as "half a ton") 3. demonstration of full effort as evidenced by the nosebleed 4. the lift was very smooth and flawless technique 5. the lift was done publicly in a stadium full of crowds as witness

thanks Royston - appreciate

My pleasure

Blood running out of his ears and nose. That lift nearly killed him. Astonishing.

he is a heck of an athlete

He used to be a basketball player afaik, plus with those tree trunk legs he's definitely got some bounce

IRON RIDER-97 bet he can't backflip

Seriously! Like featherweight!
