435 would've been a world record up to 2011. Now it's a training weight. Insane...

Imagine you're driving that those trucks in the background and a flying keg hits your windscreen

Dear Hafthor, during a livestream about a couple of years ago or so, you asked from the chat what is the 15kg keg WR, and when you saw the answer as 7.75m (back then it was Brian's) your response was "Wow, that's High!" followed by a deep sigh... Incase if you ever forget, or feel low after a bad day, just remeber that you are Hafthor Julius Bjornsson! There is nothing you cannot do! Congratulations on this absolutely incredible throw! I don't think there's anyone else on earth who can throw a 15 kg keg over 8 metres. 100% you will break the WR at SMOE to clean-sweep all 3 keg for height WRs (12.5, 15 and 25kg). You got this! As for the Deadlift, should I say anything at all? This was absolutely phenomenal as usual and I can't wait for 2 more weeks to see your 16th One Thousand Pounder! This is Huge but the next one will be MASSIVE!! *"Strongest Man on Earth", how badly you want it, it's yours Hafthor, go get what is yours! Koma Svo!!*

Just Deadlifted 435 kilos and it got outshadowed by an even more impressive 8 meter keg toss! Are you kidding Thor!

Boy am I glad to see you back in strongman, it was boring without you.

THE STRONGEST MAN EVER! End of the comment.

The King is Back!! Viking Power!!

Treating the crowd of ten spectators like a crowd in a coliseum. Fantastic!

I'm praying for you Thor, specially for you to get the overhead power to a adequate level by the time of the comp. You are our old timers hope and we love you brother. This title is yours ! p.s - Amazing deadlifting and keg throwing ! The progress is amazing !

8m is awesome! but weight over bar takes a lot of energy especially after setting World Record, 435 was stable and i know you have a gear or two more when needed, The Mountain is back!

Seriously incredible

Thor i just wanna thank you for being born during our lifetime. Its an honor to watch you do these incredible stuff and we will be cheering for you for victory!

2 world records coming at Shaw classic 💯

11:41 Raw to the Bone DNA igniting stuff here! Watching for the 20th time and still can't get enough! Koma Svo 👑 *King Hafthor!*

Son Hafthor Julius, you are definitely capable of breaking the world record in Colorado. My two grandsons and myself will be there to cheer you and to witness it for ourselves.

THOR POWER 🔥🦍

I fucking love that you're just in the outdoors doing this in front of fans and local children. That's true grassroots inspiration and the kind of awe inspiring feat that it is so, so desperately important for children to see with their own eyes. They have the world at their fingetips on their tablets and mobiles. Nothing keeps them entertained anymore. Seeing stuff like this going down on their doorstep in real life may give them their own drive to achieve something similar in their own life. Love it, Thor.

You promised us this and you delivered - Thank you champ! I also loved the stone training there at the end. Skuli looking massive too!

Awesome video!! So glad your training is on point right now, BUT the best part of the video was hearing you talk about the importance of spending time with your son! Enjoy the years go by soooo fast!! My son just turned 13!!

Jesus, Thor I thought that keg was going into orbit, absolutely smashed it , keep it going Viking, that trophy is yours.

That WR is as good as yours man! Good luck💪

The distance that you need to pull that deadlift bar is the longest I've seen any strongman do. Hixxy and Rauno are shorter with smaller arms and must have a negative inch or two advantage over you.

The progress is incredible! Made to do it.

You are the man Thor nice to have you back dude me and my son love watching your videos sending good vibes from Ireland 💪💪💪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

It looked like that first successful 7.8 throw would have definitely cleared 8 meters. Can't wait to see you smash it in comp 😎

Just insane to throw such amount of weight so high !

So not only did you throw it higher but it weighed more crazy how that little boxing break probably let you recover and the end result will probably be a stronger Thor then ever.

Rooting for you at SMOE!

lol Imagine you're driving down the highway, never watched strongman before, and you see this giant hulk slinging kegs 30 feet in the air.

I love seeing your progress it motivates me!!

"Never in my whole career have I ever had a back injury." Me, sitting here wearing a corset.... -_-

So beautiful that your content is so unfiltered, just letting us in and sharing how it feels. Good humans

Rumour has it, Hafthor already received a letter of invitation from NASA's jet propulsion laboratory!

Fantastic keg toss!

Good content as always and glad to have you back in the sport. I love the comment and real talk about being a father and enjoying and appreciating all the little moments.

The best thing in the world is that you came back to strongman you’re a fucking beast

It sounds crazy but regarding the back injury comment. As someone who has a back injury, going to the gym and lifting weights has been the best painkiller so far. The stronger your back muscles and core muscles are the less loading your spine takes.

big things,let's gooo

crushed it 🔥

F'in beast Thor, that DL look smooth as 🧈

Looking good Thor

You will change the record with no problem. Can't wait.

Good job !

Light weight baby light weight 💪💪💪 Thor is back hell yeah 👌👌

A drop set with LOWER wheight and higher reps he says and there he goes picking up freaking 320kg 4 times like it's nothing😆 Amazing

This is insane! This is not a man, this is a Mountain.

What a day, big man! Getting your mind right is priceless. The world record is going down. 💪

I know you got it!

That was amazing

You could deliver propane cylinders from the street to a 4th floor window.

Tremeu até o telefone kkkk😂😂😂

Its crazy that Thor has never had a back injury

Really love when you show mere mortals attempting the same thing.

If 6.6" is height of one floor for fire fighters , thor threw that keg over 4 floors building 🔥

Looking massive.

Don't know why but the way those kegs touch down is funny as hell. PLOP and it's still

I listen to that same Hollywood Undead song. It is definitely a hype song

You got it

I love your knee story.

Coming back to peak form. Once pressing is 100% it is hard to see u losing many shows.

Looking great! Keg tossing with heavier weights sounds wise, maybe ramp up heavier, then finish at/near competition weight/height each session. You'll be drained some before that event at the Shaw, so will need more reserve. Of course you know all that. Looking great!

Great video. Yeah becoming a dad makes you understand your parents more

Shipping up to Boston was my song

It’s pretty satisfying how quickly the keg stops moving

Looks fun 👍👏👏👏👏👏

My dad used to watch Strongman with me, and we referred to the competitions as "fat guys throwing kegs over a wall". :) On a more serious note though- why not do it officially?

11:00 Yeah, me too. I usually listen to Iron Maiden casually when I'm training, but when it gets serious, I listen to the album Rasen by Orbit Culture and the first song, Svartport, really gets me going, as the name suggests.

Imagine Thor yeeting a 15kg kid 8m in the air 😂

For the love of your knees get knee pads for your sons swimming school! 😁

What was the song you referred too? Great session bud, looking very strong.

Sometimes you’re a funny bastard. Great video

You better warm up that back before the kegg toss. Very explosive movement into full extension with weight. I believe the reason could be there in the soreness. Keep up the good work; routing for you ath shaw classic.

Legend❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Weight over bar is happening. We really want to see a big dead. Most importantly I want to see you gain that title. Only two left to gain. SMOE and Rougue.

Thor, I understand what you are saying about practicing with the heavier keg, however, you need to build in the muscle memory for the trajectory needed to clear a 8m bar.

Legal da para assistir com tradução 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽na legenda

“435 kilo deadlift for a single. That’s a big deadlift.” We know Thor, we know lol

Ummm hunnie, why is there a keg stuck in the roof of my car?

💪💪💪

Track - UNDEAD Artist - HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD

I'm dying to see 480 kg Thor we know u can do it. 505 is in the future

😯 Is the face you make when you realize that the band being referred to- and you have never heard about has half a billion listens on their tracks. THanks for the recommendation :) for me its Tool with Invincible. It must be my venerable age - but that tune really does it for me. Good vid - makes me wish that keg throwing was an olympic discipline ;)

Wow ❤👍

I hope the plan is still 455kg in 2 weeks? 🫡 It will fly up if you do deadlift first instead of keg toss

❤❤

8 meters!!

10:43 you looked good

It was always my question, if he ever had a back issue.

🎉🎉

What song gets you hyped?

What song does Thor mean get him hype for years? I want to know haha

Well obviously you’re capable! I like the way you broke Eddie’s record just by a bit, cause he nearly died lifting 500 kg while you look like you can lift 550 kg no problem, lol

Only betas pull sumo 🙏

Its not in comp so your dad probably installed an intricate system of springs under the parking lot that are helping you hit that height

Ahhh my back hahahah

Any excuses, anyone? The wind blew the keg higher? Thor is taller, therefore didn't need to throw it as high? He emptied the keg after weighing it? His dad provided the electricity that powered the scales? Anything? No?

At what point do you need to alert low flying aircraft of keg throwing in progress?

What Hollywood Undead song is it?

What was the hype song?

What was the music track that you like?..
