Iceland's Strongest Man 2024 - Day 1 

You shook his hand?! Really?

I’ll get to see him next week in Colorado.

He dwarfed me also. Never ever felt so small in my whole adult life.

I was thinking that as I was watching his interview with Brian Shaw. I can only imagine how massive they look in person. Camera never does justice.

​@@fullsterkur_deutschlandbro he s like 10cm taller than you tf😂

Hey! Loz was a great Arnold’s commentator!

Kudus to: Runar Hrodi, Tomas Johansson and Theodore Mar Gudmundsson. Special shoutout to Hjalti 'Ursus' Arnasson.

@@noahglenn8305 I agree. Usually people that did the sport are good at commentating it

Hope that recovery too 👌🏻 Yes 2018Thor was one of the strongest ever but 2016/17 Eddie was stronger. Just mindblowing absolyte whole thing who was able win heavier and taller guys with total brutal strength. 210+kg overhead 260+kg bench for reps 340+kg squat for reps (320kg 15rep) Capable for 500kg deadlift Managed competition stones and also able to fight at pulling events against taller and heavier guys. Others height advantage was Eddie's only weakness... That peak Eddie was total heavystrong package. One of strongest ever, the Beast And greatests ever, Brian and Z, they are in theyre own class 😎

@@maxa8838 Out of the 13 times Eddie and Thor competed against each other, Thor won 11 of them. Eddie won 3 international titles in his career. Thor has 28. I dont know how you can possibly say that Eddie was stronger?

​@@maxa8838 Time to stop this commenting on every Hafthor video saying Eddie is Stronger. Let me educate you for good that Hafthor Julius Bjornsson is the Strongest Man ever. For reference, I will give you not only Eddie, but Brian and Zydrunas also. Just give me two comments. Thanks.

*PEAK BRUTE STRENGTH:* Deadlift, Squat, Bench and Log: Brian: [467.5], [410], [245*], [211] = 1,333.5 Zydrunas: 442, [453*], 265.5, 228 = 1,388.5 Eddie: 500, [405], 280, 213 = 1,398 Hafthor: 501, [460], 250, 213 = 1,424 For Americans: B: [1031], [904], [540*], [465] = 2,940 Z: 974, [999*], 585, 503 = 3,061 E: 1102, [893], 617, 470 = 3,082 H: 1105, [1014], 551, 470 = 3,140 Key: - Numbers which are within [ ] brackets are done during training or not sanctioned by a governing body and not infront of a credible referee. - The * indicates that no actual 1 rep max was done but a double (2 reps) were converted into a speculative 1RM using a standard 1RM calculator. - Squats from Zydrunas, Brian & Eddie are all claims/ no video proof. Therefore nobody can prove them with irrefutable evidence specially on what kind of a depth they hit, and nobody knows whether they actually happened or not. Additionally, - Brian's Squat is not even source quoted, it's just mentioned in Wikipedia without any reference (where any unauthorized person could have edited). - Zydrunas's Deadlift is 1 inch deficit. However his best standard height DL is lower than that: 435 (959). - Eddie claims for a 300 (661) Bench, but it's equipped. Zydrunas claims for a 286 (631) Bench but there’s no video proof of it. Even if we give those to them, their supertotal will be still less than Hafthor’s (who has video proof for all 4 of his lifts).

Oh really?! 😂😂😂

Haha it's like he's just in training for the SMOE show. He's just so ridiculously strong and massive.

​@Alienspecies635 yeah this isnt even in the same caliber. But good on him for bringing attention to the sport

Warm up and just to make good feeling for himself... Great performances and attitude others 👌🏻

right? who is that guy?

@@madskater5Thats me!

Exactly

Champions of Iceland, that's for sure 😅 As far the World scene, you can't take anything for granted.

@@maciejguzek3442 all this young guys or a little bit older ones are far far away from the world class athletes, after Thor I think it will took a long time that a strong athlete from Iceland will compete with the top guys.

@@alengreen589 Last years winner, Kristján Jón Haraldsson seems like he could do well internationally in the coming years. Only 26 years but has 2 Icelands strongest man titles and an appearance in the WSM where he came second place in loading.

@@VebjornMikkelsenEspeland hope you´re right 🤞

That is the Icelandic giant Theodór Már Gudmundsson

​@@askaldsson only 30yo and already retired 😮 Guess strongman wasn't so good for him :/

@@maciejguzek3442I'm not retired haha dont know where you got that from 😂

@@TheodorMarTV oh it's you!! I can't believe it:) Internet is amazing. I got it from Google, the major database of all strongmen says you were active until 2023. Glad to hear you aren't!! Your reply is a highlight of my day:) All the best to you!

He made everything look easy 😆 No disrespect to everyone else but I think everyone knew they were all competing for 2nd place

Still long way to go as hooper did 114 kg for 5 easy

​@@amangulia4916true but he doesn't need first place on that event. Top 5 would do him good I'm quite sure.

@@milanaleksic8979 top 5 will npt do any good bro what are you talking he cant lose so many points mitchell is good in every event

@@amangulia4916 bro he will take 1st place on 3 events, I think he can do well with top 5 with his "bad" events.

I want them to include the individual event results for at least 2019, 2018, 2017 if not also 2016 back to at least 2009 ISM as well.

I personally messaged them to include 2024 ISM when it was announced under upcoming contests but there was no response.

Thor doesn't have to qualify, he has a wsm title, it's up to him if he wants to do it

That guy is 208 cm tall

@@ppppppppp4569 so I almost guess huge guy aswell.

This is Theodór Már, he is a beast as well. Icelandic strength athlete.

@@arnarmarolafsson1645 ok thank you for info.
