Thor please break every single world record there is before you retire.

8:40 The WR on this is 465 (1,025) by Jerry at 2016 ESM, Hafthor. Both Benni and Eddie wore a suit and Jerry didn't. Jerry also used only Fig 6 straps. So if you can beat that number from Jerry at the SMOE, you will earn the WR on the Strongman Standard bar Raw DL as well in addition to the DL ATWR and Elephant bar Raw DL WR you are already holding! Koma Svo the King! 💪🏻👑

You should bring Graham to the Hussafel stone, dont think he's ever done that event.

Hafthor we all are in this journey together with you. In another 17 weeks go get what is yours brother! You got this! Edit - Holy smokes I almost died laughing at the end! Awesome friends you have! Enjoyed the video!

Can’t wait to see Thor redefine what is humanly possible. Let’s go 💪

Looking forward to the day you lift 510kg! 😅🎉. Edit : Runar seems to have lost a lot of weight, I hope your health is fine brother.

Carrying a big table isn't the heaviest thing, but grabbing it lengthwise isn't something you see every day. 😁

Great Video. Viking Power!!

Thor, your heaviest atlas stone is 266kg. I went back & checked on your instagram

22:59 Golden quote from Runar! 😂 You need to print a t-shirt with this quote and wear it to a future video, Runar.

What a wholesome video. You always make the best content.

Get Graham to do the egg challenge lmao

The Viking blowing up a hurricane on the fan bike,

Funny thought: Thor accidentally sets the deadlift record shifting a weight rack over out of the way.

If you feel strong enough, will you attempt 505 raw at Strongest Man on Earth?

You deserve this big guy.... LETS GOOOOO

within one hour 2000 views. We're just staring at monitors till thor uploads a video!

Fantastic video big boss! And the challenge is accepted!

27:10 I know this is obvious but Thor is an absolute beast! 😂😂 And bless his friends!

Go Viking!

im so happy to see you back bro

As far as I can tell, Thor has only not-won a throwing event three times. In 2013 ESM to Zydranus & Lalas, in 2016 WSM to Brian, and in 2017 WSM groups "Buillion Toss" to Luke S. & Stefan Petursson. He has won the event the other 9 times.

23:34 Same here Hafthor! 😂 I also used to drink Raw eggs specially inspired by Sylvester Stallone in the Rocky franchise and Hulk Hogan in his famous training video of Mean Gene Okerlund. But after getting about 4 Salmonella infections during a span of 5 or 6 years, my mother volunteered to cook me the Eggs despite my lazy bones attitude on cooking. I eat 4 x XL (63-70g) brown eggs a day these days but I will also try this challenge without any excuses and without telling my mom, and finish it, in honour of you. 💪🏻

"MAY THE POWER BE WITH YOU." Ccol shirt.

The look on Runas face when the challenge got revealed. "What am I doing with my life?" 😅

Ragg Thor and Hicks all pulling 505kg+ this year 👀

That challenge was the real deal

The scarry part is that we still haven't seen the FullThor (of 2018) yet on his comeback.

"I'm very good at cactus. Haven't lost at a cactus event in years!"

Thor, good to hear and see about prepping for Strongest Man on Earth and Rogue where you may break the records of the world in deadlifts. Stay strong, healthy and fit. In regard to having Graham Hicks in perhaps you guys can do some Vo2 max and grip challenges of each other. How fast can you guys pull 500 meters on a rowing machine? How fast can you guys do 2 miles on an assault bike? How long can you guys dead hang from a bar? No eating contests. 😂

That form is as clean as you could possibly get unreal and its very very smart for you to train this way really strengthening your lower back and your connective tissue

26:56 Rumour has it the poor Exercise Bike is still recovering...

Ah man im so looking forward go seeing Hixy and Thor deadlift together!!

Die Eier und dann das Bike 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

More challenges - love it!

Awesome challenge!

Eating 10 raw eggs isn't a problem, not shitting yourself on the bike might be.

Thor is a true Strongman Champion 🏆

great shit, make more with runes

4:15 that kid’s got potential

Loved the Challenge ❤😂

Cool that Hicks is coming

24:19-Hillbilly Jim fuels up for a workout with Hulk Hogan: Prime Time Wrestling, Sept. 7, 1988

Plus, if Rogue Invitational has max deadlift, then the WR would be done on their Rogue Deadlift bar. 💰

10:36 I want to be proved wrong on this but I'm afraid the heaviest Stone you have outside is 228 (503) Hafthor. And you did two reps with it in May, 2019. I think you will have to get a heavier stone built towards the latter stage of the prep... Also, we all know the weight of the final stone at the comp, but do you know the weight of the one before the last? I think it will be the most important stone when it comes to securing points and separating from the rest of the pack.

Big giant with a bigger heart big love from Hungary.

Raw Power!

Haffy is evil for making them do this, poor Cap bro 😭

There's no way in Hel. I would 🤮 once I got on the bike. 😂

That's one hell of a protein shake after a deadlift session 😂Alright, I'm doing the challenge. Now I've got to find people to do it with me.

An eating challenge with hicksy would be cool.

Looking forward to seeing you smash the deadlift world record again this year.

The mountain❤(game of thrones)

Thats crazy you all smashed it fair play

I saw you deadlifted with Hicks today. How much did you pull? 320-340 ish I guess?

Liking contests with eight events, to truely find out who is strongest, is a very Viking thing.

would be cool to see a podcast with You and Graham

That was a fun challenge!

Very nice video :)

Nice shirt!

I want to see that 10 egg 100 calorie challenge at the ROGUE Invitational!

To be honest that kid’s form was perfect as hell 4:15 Love it.

When you do new deadlift wr?

Good morning Haffi.

Thor's T shirt says 'make the power be with you', Although they're English runes, norse rune for 'y' would be different, as well as the Icelandic rune which is a vertical line with an arrow either end.

That egg chug challenge was hilarious!

can you catch up this year to Mitch if it comes to loglift and axle?

Can you upload your next squatting video, feel like we aint seen a squatting video from you in timeee, much love from the UK!

11:57 Gutted that it's not a max Squat (so badly wanted to see BOTH a 1,000 pound Deadlift AND Squat on the same competition by Hafthor), but knowing how unfortunate you are with Squat for reps events in the past (2017 quad, 2019 plantar fascia, 2014 not wearing a suit etc,) show the whole world who you are Hafthor, give us a Squat for reps performance which will prove all the people who say you are not one of the best sqatters in the world (judging you from your past WSM squat performances only) wrong! Really believing in you on this event for an event win with a big statement! 💪🏻👑

💪💪

Gotta be a big pressing sesh with Hicksy!

"My back is sore. Probably from traveling or weather" Lifting hundreds of kilos is not related. The crazy part is he’s probably right. 😳

If you did do 500kg+ raw at SMOE it would really put you in an untouchable tier of deadlifting

11:48 Dear Thor I hope this comment finds you. When it comes to the Keg toss/ Any type of weight over bar event, you are the undisputed GOAT. The only WR you are not having at the moment is the 15 kg keg for height WR, which you held twice in the past when you cleared 7.10m (2015 GL Sweden/ Scandinavian open) and 7.15m (2016 WSM, group 3) *both with enormous clearance over the bar.* True that Brian broke it on the same day (2016 WSM, next group) and now it has been surpassed 4 more times at 2021 WSM (Konstantine 7.26, Maxime and Tom 7.50 and Brian where the current WR stands at 7.75). But don't forget that you hold the WRs in 12.5 kg Keg (8.54m), 25 kg Keg (6.0m), Highland games one arm WOB at 20ft 3 in, David Webster memorial WOB at 19ft and Max Sandbag over bar (45kg over 15ft) in addition to the Phenomenal 8 x 18-24kg kegs over 4.9m in 16.35sec WR keg toss run from 2014 WSM. If there's anyone who can break it it's definitely you. If you are challenged, just go for it with the 15 kg keg at the SMOE. According to my visual calculations you surpassed the current WR height in both your 7.10 and 7.15 clearances from back in the day. They were way way over the bar.

Being too lazy to cook eggs in the morning is a legit reason to go raw lol

5:18 I'm glad my joints aren't the only ones that crack like someone walking on cornflakes.

If I ever come to iceland I am getting a daypass at the gym for sure, not sure If I dare go say hello if I see Thor there 😂

"The smallest friend he owns" OMG i busted a gut over that!. Too funny.

There a cherry limeade shortage right now for REIGN, at my grocery stores. Hook me up THOR!

8:44 without suit, the conventional deadlift record is still 460.4kg from Benedikt Magnusson

The cameraman is so f****** strong❤

Dream with me for a minute: It's the strongest man on earth. Thor walks up to the bar with 505kg. Before he grabs the bar he calls out for Eddie to come judge it. Ed walks out, thor successfully pulls it, they hug and the beef is over. I highly doubt it'd happen, but man that'd be epic!

I put the raw eggs in my protein every morning after workout

15K calories day challenge with graham

26:04 🤣🤣

You may have seen The Blues Brothers when they stopped the car just fell apart, I was expecting that with the bike when Thor got off it.

Paused deadlifts are hard, especially more than 4 reps. 4 reps is not too bad but still harsh if it's a challenging weight.

💪💪💪

I heard a lot of snap crackle and pops going on while you were doing your DL's. Sucks getting older.

I wish him luck, so sick of hearing about the questions around his wr. I hope he hits it and shuts em up. his attempt back then was clean af. Eddie's record will always be great because of the huge jump and pushing the deadlifts past what people thought was possible.

what is this crackling sound when he tops his lift 😅

What's the reason for no belt and deficit? I understand it puts more load on the lower back and leg drive, but wouldnt u want to have the workout simulate the conditions of the tourney with belt, etc?

Big raw egg guy. Builds character

Wow no belt aswell!!!

Don't the Stoltman brothers have Fingal's Fingers and powerstairs? They'd surely welcome you.

Hafthor, I know you use straps for deadlift. I'm curious, do you need them? I feel like someone of your stature probably has the grip strength required to not. Is is a matter of being able to focus just on the pull?

Thor, you said you probably won't go for 502kg+ in the deadlift at Strongest Man on Earth 2024. However, if you don't do it then, when will you have the next opportunity to do so? You won't go to the World Deadlift Championships, so you can't do it there. Who knows when the next regular-bar, figure-six, raw deadlift will happen. You mentioned setting the deadlift record at Rogue, but they're going to use an elephant bar. We all know how people will complain that it's easier and not really the all-time deadlift record, so that will not suffice for many. The only competition you're willing to attend that actually uses the rules that would remove all doubt as to who has the max all-time deadlift is Strongest Man on Earth. If you want to do 502kg+ on that bar as well at Rogue, then please do so! We'd love that. But please, for the sake of all strongman fans, put the deadlift record debate out of its misery and set the record at Strongest Man on Earth!

Thor's gonna pull 510 on the day of the wsm final, isn't he?

I think you and Hicks could do a "would you rather..." strongman edition. Curious what kind of questions you come up with... And yes this should be during some kind of eating event
