Last heavy deadlift session before I compete 

I love it how your father is always there supporting you!

Frost giant, you are ready , you have got this, bring that trophy back to Iceland, let's go Viking.

Runar is right, don’t risk it. Stay the course, you’re just making your comeback. Stay healthy, stay strong!

I can't believe what I just saw. Those stones! This man is 1 of maybe a handful in the entire world who could get that 427lb stone off the ground. Not to mention pressing stones mere mortals couldn't even move. To me, the stones press displays immense strength like no other. Thank you for letting us witness greatness.

Good to see you back in the sport, champ. I wish you nothing but success and that you may get through all your training and competitions in good health. Strongman is going to be exciting this year!

This is raw training...this is where it matters. Nice job

I Will root for Thor. Think if he can make to the Top 3 in his first return to competition, will be great. Cause had a lot tough guys, Tom, Novikov, Mitchell Hooper, Trey Mitchell, Martins and Mateusz.

I'm juist in awe of how quickly you've come back

Greetings from Poland! Haftor- you are a goat! 👍💪

Strongest viking on the planet 💪👍

Having one of the best back in the mix makes the sport better

Bloody hell Thors Dad should enter the masters comp for 50+. I’ve been watching recently and he has crazy strength, especially his grip. I would love to see him again Mark Felix. I know Mark has a lot more experience but his Dad has crazy strength for his size and age. Felix is a freak of nature and I am not saying his Dad would beat Mark but I would love to see how he would compare

Go get em Thor!!!!!

It would bee intresting to try altitude training in strongman, because its seems to be more of a stamina sport than many appreciate :)

Close to 1 million subs! Can’t wait to see the gold plaque video

Thank you

I wonder how many times has 2x3x400 even been done ever. 6 reps total with 400.

1 hour ago!! Lets go Thor from South Africa!!

cant wait fot arnold's LETS GOOO

If you say this is stupid. You will get free doctrores that can look at you man. This will break you in time = max a 1 year man.

Hafthor gott"imin

Hafthor, You're not only just coming back after a long time off. You're coming back after a long time off plus a serious injury. You are doing amazing. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself.

Great call on the weights. Better to prepare yourself and save the biggest lift for where it counts.

Does anyone know what happened to a guy names Nirmal who was always in Thor's comments? He was a superfan

It's such a privilege to see you training bro. Loved the natural stones you got there. The strongest human being that has ever walked the planet earth!

Hi Hafthor, i noticed your beard has gotten much thicker with age. comparing your beard from 2012-2013 to now, you use any products for this or it just came thicker?

Dear Haftor Bjornsson, without a doubt, you are the strongest man in the world, and I am convinced that you will triumph at the Arnold next month. Your unwavering determination and incomparable strength are a true example. Furthermore, I know that in 2025 you will achieve a new world record, leaving everyone speechless. Although I know the road has been full of obstacles, I want to remind you that your sweet Grace watches over you from heaven, sending you her love and strength with every lift. You are a true champion, and your courage inspires everyone around you. Greetings from Paraguay 🇵🇾

6:51 I felt Thors laugh was coming 😂

Vikings from all over the world cheering for you hafthor! You have an insane support! Remember that every time shit gets tough or heavy that from every tv/phone watching there is a fellow viking screaming and cheering for you to make it through!

Very smart to call it and not risk an injury. It's great that you have friends that calm you down when you are feeling a little bit too hungry for the lifts. It is your first competition coming back and there's absolutely nothing worse than an injury at this point. You're still going to smash the events this year. Stronger after each competition prep.

0:08 Seeing Thor lean back and clasp his hands on his power belly like the old days was a good vibe. Looking massive. Can't wait to see you and the others live for my first Pro Strongman show in person! The Arnold is shaping up to be a legendary contest.

Good luck Thor, we're all rooting for ya!

just hit a 445 pound/200KG deadlift PR today thor, i basically can enter the deadlift championships for the 505kg lift now easy money

oh how i've missed Thor pronouncing Columbus Ohio as Columbus Ohio

It's insanity that rather than looking fat at that weight, you just look like a beast, especially considering the speed at which you gained it this is unreal.

Son Hafthor Julius, there is no reason to not be happy at this moment. This was a very taxing workout to your CNS specially with those heavy natural stones. You are returning to the sport and also after a major injury. We are proud of you. Best of luck with the competition!

If Thor comes in the top 5 it’s a fantastic result. People need to stop telling him to win this contest. There’s no pressure on him to beat such a strong field on his very first contest back. If he keeps on this pace, he’s EASILY the top guy to beat in another 12 months. In the meantime it’s just about risk management and getting in the event-specific training

Its nice to see you are following your head and not your ego. Its that smart reserved restraint where the experience shows.

With no chest press at the Strongest Man on Earth, will you be going? I would love to see you there and i think it is a competition that would really suit you!

You know you're in another category of strength when you use a bar with that kind of loading capability.

Lets go! 💪

The Magnus Carlsen of Strongman 💪🏻

Good luck Thor. You're renewed presence in the world of strongman is truly a gift to all strongman fans.

Hooper and stoltman are crying in their houses, the real WSM it’s gonna come back

Dear Hafthor, you already did 6 reps with the super heavy 400 (882) and after that, ascended with the natural stones *upto the final weights:* pressed the 137 (302) Juji stone ✅, stood up with your 151 (333) stone to a comfortable platform positioning ✅, and BOTH gripped, and lapped your 194 (428) Tombstone 2.0 stone ✅. I know you will shoulder it in your last heavy Stone session. We are extremely happy and proud of you for today's awesome session! It was Phenomenal! 💪🏻👑❤️ n.b. Holy Mackerel I forgot the 210 (463) behind the bar static hold! ✊🏻

I’ll be watching you at the Arnold classic I wish you luck man

Doing the Shaw classic you say? Just giving ideas.

Hey hafthor bjornsson do you still have the Iceland 🇮🇸 blue t shirt

Thank you Thor for all the years of inspiration. You are the reason why I started lifting again following an injury and various setbacks. Hope you will have enough rest before the competition. None of us wants you to compete if your body is not recovered from these super intense workout sessions. God bless you brother.

That 2 x (400kg x 3) looked pretty easy, and regarding the stone, well shit every athlete has off days, especially after how you've been exerting yourself nonstop weekly. Best of luck Thor...you will crush it

I'm hoping you Dominate the Arnold!! Viking Power!!

When Thor won worlds before retiring he was without question the strongest man on the planet and going in to that worlds strongest man he was the favourite for the competition he was also favourite for most events bar a couple he won most of the events or came second in the others He is currently preparing for the Arnold’s which is the second biggest world event after the worlds Thor easily won the worlds strongest man before retiring he will not find the Arnold’s easy even if he does win which I don’t think he will The level of competition right now is unreal when Thor won worlds he didn’t really have a serious threat to beat him if the top 10 12 people turn up Thor is in for a hard week The only event he will be the clear favourite for will be deadlift or some static lift off the floor bar that he isn’t the favourite there’s a few that will beat him on overhead press the loading event is anybody’s farmers/yolk carry he’s not atlas stones he’s not and he’s not the favourite by a long stretch either Maybe the long lay off my actually go in his favour Thor retiring messed up his legacy if he would of carried on he would of gone down as the greatest strongman in history look at all the trophies achievements and accolades he’s missed out on retiring like he did he should of left the boxing and mma alone he was never going to do anything of note in them sports and look at what it’s cost him He’s not walking back into the same strongman world he left the strongman world with his only competition being Eddie hall and an aging Brian shaw as his only real competition that could push him to the wire Look at the strongman world now mitchel hooper Luke stoltman alexie novikov martins licis Evan singleton mateuiz keilisczkowski The only event Thor will be the favourite is deadlift Thor has aged since he won worlds and he’s now the elder statesman of the competitors It’s good to see him back but he will be lucky to finish on the podium I can tell you who will finish above him for each event He’s not going to be able to nick a couple of events then place high in others to win The field of strongmen now is too evenly matched and Thor is not as quick on his feet as he once was so he’s going to drop a lot of points on yolk carry farmers walk atlas stones He’s never been the best overhead presser so he will drop points on log press stone to shoulder or circus dumbbell and as I said he is in a field of the young guns now so he will more than likely drop points on truck pull too IMO Thor was the last of the old school strong men along with Eddie hall Look at the current crop of strong men Novikov hopper stoltman licis singleton and boudrealt there not huge mass monsters bar stoltman they are all very quick explosive and have cardio that of rugby/NFL players I wish Thor all the best and if he finishes on the podium he’s done well in this day and age as in my opinion this is the most competitive I’ve seen the strongman field since I can remember and I’ve been following strongman for over 20 years

Do you all go an family hikes together and collect the stones when you see one of the side of the way?

You'll be 100% at the rogue invitational. Arnolds is just a warmup.

If Thor lived 1000 years ago there would be legends and story’s about him in the modern day

Haftor, you won my heart in the manner you carried yourself during the boxing fight with Eddie Hall. Your dignity and respect won fans all over the globe. Since then I am vying to meet you. Hopefully we can soon. YOU are the world’s strongest man- EVER!

Hey Thor massive fan, i would love it if you could do a day in my life videos, where you pick a busy day of yours and the camera follows everything you do in a day in your life. The fans would to see all sides of your life in one video. Keep up the great work we all love you man.

Watching Thor train again is so great. Thor is GOAT

Don't get injured!! That is all we care about. We know in a year you'll be 2018 Hafthor. :)

I'm extremely proud to say that I'm a fan of Hafþór Björnsson, the strongest human in history!

I think that's the first time I've ever heard Thor say he WASN'T happy after a lift lol. Jokes aside, looking like a beast Thor, good luck at the Arnold's big fella...

I can’t believe how strong you are with stone lifting at what i believe are technically missing parts of the lift. Your hip thrust looks very minimal as you go from lap to chest and shoulder that really helps get the load moving and it doesn’t look like you are pulling the stone into like a row as you go to hip thrust. I know from my lifting when fatigued this makes all the difference.

The speed om 400kg was epic! Cant wait for the Arnolds🎉

Absolutely the best you are !!!! Be strong in your heart and mind! 💪❤️ You will win that competition 🎉 hey from Ukraine )

21:20 holy moly it was only for a second but Thor’s dad had a 25kg plate pinched with 1 hand.

My goodness your father is strong as hell. Was he a farmer? That's some crazy grip strength

I Waited too long to get tickets for Saturday.. 😞 I will be there though. I think you'll pull a W for sure!

The channel is still called Hafthor Bjornsson, but it'll be Fullthor Bjornsson showing up for comp!

You look tired big man get some rest

Strongest men ever! 💪🏻 come on!

Phenomenal!

Smart decision being not far out. Good luck!

hafthor will you visit ironforge to see knut and miz while in america?

"Dont risk it for the biscuit" love these vids!

Im glad to see you going heavy again. You inspired me to start lifting weights, all the best from Finland

I just noticed he is gripping with his fingers than contacting the palm 😮😮

Thor 👑💪🏻 Campeão❤️🇧🇷❤️🇮🇸🏆🏋🏻‍♂️

Thor is one of the athletes who is extremely good at peaking. He will perform on the day.

The strongest Man that has ever walked this earth!

Shouldering 194kg natural stone is an awesome feat and brutal conditioning session! Good luck!

ALL THE BEST THOR

Give that lad a cuppa and a jammy dodger to dunk in ... well done and well deserved

14:55 Totally agree with Hafthor. How can you control a natural stone which does not have a proper grip from overhead back to upper chest. There's always a risk. The organizers should reconsider this rule.

thor i see you are narrowing your stance in the deadlift, is there a reason why?

Go and smash the deadlift record and show eddie that you are the champ.

Hafthor is an inspiration to us not merely because he is the strongest man to have ever lived, but also because of his smart training approach. Koma Svo Hafthor! 💪🏻👑❤️

Like i said. The gods are with you, the allfather se you and gives you strength. 💪💪💪

Massive your GOAT big love from South Korea 🇰🇷

I don’t know which is more badass you deadlifting or your father looking at you while deadlifting. Priceless man! Dads are the gift of god I wish I met my dad.

Good luck with the competition

Très bon travail et avec un bon plan d'approche. Vous avez tenu de vos récentes blessures. Continuez et les records seront au bout du chemin.😊

400k.g. 2 reps is insanse power I hope Thor will win a stronge man tournament again yeah buddy light weight ❤

Your dad has a good ❤ he stands with you into battle and by your side in battle period! He is your blessing 🙏 matter of fact your entire family are Awesome people.

Have you changed something about the deadlift stance? Looks narrower than it used to

100% your the best and no doubt records will break and trophies 🏆 will be lifted 💪💪 your dad is a top bloke too 💪💪

Good job Runa keeping Thor in check. He's looking tired!

he had two hair transplants for that bit of hair, despite the fact that he would probably look much better bald anyway😁

You will do it! Your able! Your ready! Your THOR!

Hessss backkkkkkkk 😈

Great decision and thank you for the video. Hope you have a great competition.
