I FAILED! 

Yeah, he cut 60kg and "only" totals 970 and he's disappointed Thor's a different kind

Well said. For Hafthor to reach 88% of his prime total after a 30 month heavy lifting hiatus, with such a lean frame, with only a 6 week prep on top of being not fully recovered from the sickness (including the unfortunate 5 kg bodyweight loss) is not a failure but a MINDBLOWING achievement! As you said, nobody else could have totaled 970 under all above circumstances.

Saying he failed is probably motivating to him. He did made the goal of 1000 kg he did not hit so he failed. Of course it was a big goal and not that likely he would hit it. But he still failed to achieve it.

You forgot he stubbed his toe that morning

His goal was 1000, he got 970 that is a failure. He doesn't come from a generation where every kid gets a participation trophy, 2nd place is first loser that's how real athletes think

It's called PEDS dude, but sure keep kissing ass.

@@andrewberkkis8912 Haha yeah

it LITERALLY was a failure.

@@light-qe3gv Nah his overall performance was world class

Overall success

If it wasn't for the Squat mishap, Oskar would have been Thor's closest competition. Wishing him a speedy recovery... In the meantime Spoobini, can't wait to hear Thor's next goal. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻

Spoobini, are you ready for the 410 today? 💪🏻

ba ouais logique

monumental how? In sport terms. Please specify.

@@giovannicupello1977 Thanks. Will be super fun to watch. As for his come back to strongman elite (winning ASC or WSM) i am sceptical.

@@maciejguzek3442 All good things come to those who wait. 😉

Lets do the meet at my own gym so it doesnt count as a gym lift 😜

@@Devian83 He's doing great things for the strength community of his country but there will always be a basement dweller like your who critisizes successful and accomplished athletes like Thor.

Team Iceland 🇮🇸 is hosting the next Powerlifting competition on 15th April. This time international competitors can also participate, but there is a cap off at a Maximum of 50 participants. So better to hurry up and register now itself if anyone is planning to participate. 💪🏻

Very true. That was epic!

The Frost Giant will succeed this April 15th in his quest for a 1100 total. The plan is 440, 240, 420. 💪🏻

100% concur with you.

If Haftor is so strong, then why did he lose badly in tug of war against a tiger? If he is a 'beast', then he should beat an actual beast? No?

As long as you don’t get ego lift you shouldn’t get hurt I would recommend if you’re scared of injury do prs more doubles or triples

@@luisestrada2732 100%. I’ve shied away from deadlift bc I’m tall and it feel awkward and was trepidatious about potential injury, but that was the past lol. I’ve overcome that and I’ve been so focused on form, building a solid base with low weights and now steadily increasing. Trust me, I have no problem checking my ego at the door (as hard as it can be sometimes), I always put form over ego and weight and that has been the case with deadlifts. But now that my form is solid and I’m comfortable with it along with a big base, I’m starting to move up in weight. Solid point on doubles and triples. I’m moving up slow and steady 👍

Hafthor is indeed a great inspiration to all the very tall guys out there. It's mindblowing that he mastered one of his weakest lifts back in the day, to be the Strongest Deadlifter in History, all while being 6'9". Yes, nothing is impossible and thank you Hafthor...

Thank you for translating it for us...

@@tv26889 I'll give you a clue, World's Strongest MAN was the term used.
