If you see clearly you can see that his head allready bled before he attempted it, i think is was because of the headbut with his coach/friend

maybe he was THINKING about it too much, haha get it??? *silence*

@@joeneufeldt4738 Boy, your Comment is... *MINDBLOWING*

It was bleeding from their hype ritual not the lift. But his effort made it ooze out more

@@antoniocenteno1483 Those bloody jokes aren't even funny. Stap it.

Their editing is another level, i wish i could learn from those guys

It's about time strongman got some money and publicity behind it. It's such an easily marketable product. I think the sport is on the verge of a big boom into mainstream culture.

Has been since the 90s! First went in '93 and it absolutely blew my mind then...it was PACKED this year. So many cool booths/fitness icons there!

His vein must have popped, if it was me, my whole head would explode lol

@@iuhshwth1634 I appreciate the reference there ^^

And these guys still get paid shit. Hopefully that changes soon.

At least now the athletes were still fresh instead of beat up from the other events.

If they place the DL last they will be soared, therefore no one will be attempting giant lifts, not even Thro, no World records and will more likely to get injured everyone as the body is already damaged. DL have t go first, specially since is the golden event of Strongman. Think about it like if you go to the gym for lifting, were would you place your DL? First, last or somewere in the middle?. You´ll know that for lifting more you put it first.

@@antoniocenteno1483 When do they do the deadlift at a powerlifting meet? Deadlift wasn't the first event in many WSM competitions either.

Yeah as Antonio mentioned, you'd be too sore to max out your DL. Also, during the DL event Mark Henry mentioned that it is the true indicator of power. It is the main event. Also, I think the injuries could be age related? I mean, Caron is 36 while Shaw and Pritchett are 37. I'm not saying they're getting weaker! They lift titanic weights! But age has got to take some kind of toll.

Would you end your workouts with deadlift? No of course not. You don't lift.

Man his neck is making pr's

shadow n lol

@@theunusual2051 so glad Larry there Supporting his Bro~ Thor! There Training Work Outs together of support are a resonance vibe of inspiration when they where in Iceland~ their Brother Soulmates to Inspire!!

Clockie...............................

POOOOOWWWAAA

I want to see if he tries on the same bar as Eddie - the competition is in July on Giants Live website. With a suit he should make it look easy, right?

jbibanezdude44 yeah 100%, but then again eddie made the 500kg look easy too with the suit

Pretty sure Eddie was squishing his asschicks really tight when he saw that 500kg moving!!!🤣😂😂🤣😂😂

@@jbibanezdude44 wrong! He is taller than Eddie witch makes it a lot harder

@@cd-_-7774 Eddie Hall once said ''You can't move this much weight slow.'' So it is better and expected to be fast

Wow dude, you're gay af.

Dan Maler, ME TOO LETS MEET UP

let's have an orgy guys

hha

Eddie hall nearly killed himself by lifting 500kg... for 500.000$ people will risk their life only with the money in the head.

@@KikujiroChan do you really think eddie hall did that lift for the money?

@@larklark2472 He didn't even say that.

@@Puffadderr he said he lifted it with only the money in his head

@@larklark2472 Do you know what those dots mean in text?

Kellerwärter der 1. Generation lmao Larry looks like a proud mom watching his son Thor

Lol he's too small to lift that much weight unless he stops bodybuilding a bit

Larry Larry Larry.. until polish juggernaut comes 😁

@@jonathanng138 He did, his full focus is on strongman now and he can definitly already do big lifts.

@@nakkokip now larry's belly is going to be like bus wheels , an obese Larry wheels in order to fuck every strongman

Lmao

its more like "I wanna lick the mountains ass clean"

One day it wont. I think larry will hit more someday.

What did he injure? It looked like his quad gave out, seems nasty.

Sub-Zero hamstring

@@Konjo316 Torn Hamstring; his foot also slipped as he was about to lift. You can see his foot either raising up or moving a little. Thor's foot also slipped during his lift (where he bleeds).

Brian's leg form on Deadlift is too wide so it had more tension on his hamstrings. Look at Thor Deadlift and Eddie they had more alignment to the hand and legs. Brian's form was too wide

maybe at 2020 or 2021 i would say not this year, this year thor is gonna smash everyone

@@jonasjellesen5009 I'm not so sure, because Thor is older if I'm not mistaken, and he's actually prone to injuries as well. See how he almost collapsed after the Wheel of Pain event. The medics had to come and check on him. He's a machine with the weights, but he also burns out quite quickly. I feel like other youngsters like Mateusz and Martin are better able to sustain their form once they're warmed up. In Mateusz' case though, his deadlifts are his weakness, so he's got a lot of work to do there... But Licis is better positioned to give Haftor pressure in WSM.

@@IsaacAsante17 Exuse me, when's the last time Thor was hurt? If anyone is prone to injury it is Martins, that's why it's his first year competing in the Arnold because he was injured every other year.

@@JXN1999 Fair point... What I meant was that Thor seems to have stamina issues at times, so he starts really strong, then starts to slow down a bit. We saw that on Day 2 at the Arnold's. On Day 1, he had a commanding lead, but on Day 2 things seemed harder for him. Again, the Wheel of Pain showed that. He was on the floor for quite some time, out of breath.

Isaac Asante Hafthor is unstoppable. After powerlifting challenge he became too strong for everyone. He is just starting his career of Top1 . He is young and have many years ahead and he will be leader for a very long time. When you know that 37-39yo is peak of strength .. make conclusions

You mean in July at the world deadlift competition

☆

Not possible

He got it off the floor this time. I think it's possible

@@angus6858 He may hit it but Eddie Hall is always going to be the 1st

Brian shaw was 204 kg Thor was almost 210 kg

@IceFresh yeah... just some 15 year olds who have never seen anyone except Thor and were just screaming "LARRY" and "Brian retire!"... it really killed the mood

@@marcikque that's the problem when someone famous introduces his huge fan-base to a not so famous sport, yes it gets more of an audience, but also a lot of kids that know nothing about the sport.

Shaws strap is why he fell over. No torn muscle. His strap kept his hand to the bar when he went to let go and the momentum of the weight pulled him down and over. Watch again boys.. watch again

Or better; put the deadlift last

So do you think that if they would have pulled this weight with a regular then they wouldn't have been hurting themselves? I guess it has nothing to do with the bar.. it's the weight..

@@Monzer_A The bar should not wobble at all. Have it engineered by MIT out of graphene and titanium-diamond or something.

Clearly you never heard Dr. Todd talk about why the elephant bar was created. And these guys would pull huge numbers on a regular bar as well.

@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 I mean, to be fair it looked like Thor was about to before his foot slipped. Also nobody really goes for it because there isn't as large of a financial incentive, and like Eddie always says nobody will remember the guy that pulled 501, but they will remember the guy who pulled 500

@BTICronox on a stiff bar not an elephant bar elephant bar is twice as easy as a stiff bar

@BTICronox The elephant bar is easier. You have much more pull on the bar before all the plates leave the floor. It's easier to break off the floor with it. That's why deadlifting bars are longer with more whip than a standard power bar (that Eddie used for the 500kg lift).

No. The elephant bar technically is easier to lift actual weight with because the weights individually come off the floor and not all at once so you actually get closer to your power area by the time the weight is totally off the ground. A regular bar u have to pull it all at once from start to finish. Know what you're talking about before you talk. Eddie still holds the record and no one has actually came close yet.

@BTICronox idk why you are so content on arguing about this.. eddie hall has the WORLD record.. still to this day. Give the man credit for putting himself in that mindset to do so. Watch the video of how he did it and it will change your thought process. They are allllll beasts im just saying

@BTICronox and. Eddie never attempted 500kg until THAT DAY he went to a dark place in his mind and did it. He had more in the tank to by the way he lifted it

Wijaya Leon and get a stroke as a result? I don’t think that’s such a good idea...

Sadly he only did 1026

He did it but not on elephant bar

You're really going to blame the bar?

@@rmmva yes

@@fliprabbit Foolish. They all knew what they were up against. From what I can see, those who were injured are all 36+ years old. I do not think it is a coincidence.

@@cuberkreedz well do they just not compete? that would be boring its like they kind of have to with crowd expectations

@Scott Neibarger backbone or in what way?

501*

Rory 78 Being 30 and SO dominant this year... I don’t see how he couldn’t

Matheuz keliowskovski ?

@@rafathchowdury1968 Highly unlikely, unless he brings his deadlift up by a ridiculous amount. He's capable of beating Thor on just about any event, but there's rarely a strongman contest without some kind of deadlift. He only got 8th this year because JF Caron got injured. Look at the Ultimate Strongman World Championships last year, he blew everyone away and won 4 out of 5 events, but finished last on the deadlift and lost the overall contest.

@@rafathchowdury1968 Not yet, but i´m proud of him holding a the Stoen to shoulder record as such young age.

Anything can happen to anyone in a year. Don't start this shit now.....

Different bar

​@@yms6892 Eddie still lift weight heavier than him 500kg to 474kG. i dont see bar any different with 26kg

@@GODLOVEME-uj3vb This elephant bar is not the same

Fazori I acknowledge Eddies lift and I’m a fan of him but you don’t understand what I’m saying. The bars feel very different when lifting. It isn’t as simple as ‘longer and thinner’

501kg

impossible to know

Ammonia if I remember right. You can Google ammonia and powerlifters and it will give you some answers! :)

@@therebgus Thank you 💚

It was but he had a deadlift suit to help.

And he lifted with a different bar than these guys👌

Ok people the suit is to help with the pressure of the weight and the bar.. yes was different and no one has come close on a standard bar. The elephant bar is harder to lift in some ways and easier in others.

Hafthor Bjornsson*

@@Danimal77 I guess you missed the joke

Yeah but fucking Rogue needs to have their name on everything. Standard barbell would be amazing because then there wouldn't be so much confusion with what the world record is...

How does the elephant bar cause more injuries?

Lol when Brian ,Prichet and Eddie were setting records fanboys had no problems now it’s a bad thing suddenly

diff guy because it can whip and also can cause instability. So with training an athelete can do more weight but it is more dangerous

The elephant bar is longer than the regular bar and is also more flexible, which makes the deadlift much more difficult

whatever, his foot didn't slip until the bar was on it's way down!

@@christaylor2528 - Exactly, people don't realize that the bar stopped moving upwards then went down BEFORE his foot slipped. And I think any of us true deadlifters now that 9 times out of 10 when the bar stops moving up past the knees, it's going back down.

He wasn’t quite ready to pull that weight all the way up. Very close though and I have no doubt that given another few months or a year he’ll get it. It’s just a shame he didn’t nab that prize money he totes deserves it

@@BOZAK115 Wrong, I thought that at first as well, but I just watched a video from another angle and you can clearly see his left foot moving forward a couple of cm while lifting, then he drops the weight and his foot slips more, but it was already slipping quite severely. I thought it was an excuse as well at first, but looking at it again, I think it was legit, what I saw would have had a negative impact, and any negative impact at that weight would prevent you.

@@DutchDread Brian Shaw also messed up with his foot moving as he was lifting the bar.
