Lift this GIANT dumbbell, Win $1,000! 

Halfthor IS the mountain from game of thrones.

That was awesome.

I just assumed that, as this is in Iceland, pretty much everyone would know exactly who Thor is. Maybe some of the tourists don't know him.

@@hedgehog1965uk It's weird, they're in Reykjevic, he's a gigantic man that looks like the mountain and he knew his name and somehow couldn't believe it was him.

What a wholesome moment.

Sleeper Viking 💪

Viking genetic bro

Normal other than being about 6'10" 😅

Looking like a normal giant you mean?

If you see him in person he does not look normal. He is extremely tall and his hands and forearms are massive😅

dude this would have been a dream come true for me tbh

Good job man!

That should be a competition worlds strongest dad and son. In like 8 years that would be Eddie and his son

@@1337inzock yes it would be a good contest.

He's the strongest one there and he looks absolutely normal. Amazing genes

He has viking genetic

He's just missing the T injection to be a full monster.

It’s the mother that has actual viking genetics.

I guess the mother of a monster and wife of a monser is also a moner

He’s so strong for a man that doesn’t really train

​@Hafthorjulius Your dad is awesome Thor. Love seeing him in your videos.

@@Hafthorjulius Did/does he do manual labour as his job? It's that old man strength.

​@@Hafthorjulius how strong were your grandparents?

Isn't it Eythor? 🤔 Like Eythor Ingolfsson Melsted...

​@@Nirsterkur no. Its "Aitor", a spanish name

I thought his name was Hector 🤣

@@dudea3378 that was the normal sounding name tho 😁

@@alataza100 It could be a brazilian name, Heitor!

Very tall with big hands. With such a thick handle a large hand is a super advantage. My tiny hands stand no chance in hell.

@@OriginalMindTrickyeah and wrists as well

Long fingers, thats the secret

​@@url6122Icelandic genetics is the real secret.

Genes

and a shorter person can jump just as hard from the ground as a tall person but they still will not dunk the basketball and will not make it to the NBA. being better at something because of how you were born is normal in every performance or sport.

@@cimjohansson4878 Of course, but they could just make the handles thinner and increase the weight. Especially when the majority of the user base is going to be people of average height/hand size. These types of grip exercises always just seemed like a circle jerk for people with big hands. All else equal a bigger hand is better for most grip anyways, why make the advantage even bigger. Grip is a niche sport compared to basketball, so it's not a fair comparison imo. They managed to make the Capains of Crush grippers usable for most people, how come some of the dumbbell handles needs to be 50cm thick. Just make them heavier. Suddenly more people would be at a more equal playing field, and it would be much less of an ego trip for all the guys with big hands. This is just like Brian Shaw's grip ladder, where he consistently challenges smaller strongmen, and for the thickest blocks he is one of the only ones with big enough hands to grip them properly. "Wow his grip is so strong, surely it's not highly based on how it's nearly impossible for most other people to even get a proper grip". Hand size is already an advantage, but let's make it even bigger. I have a 180kg bench press sub 100kg (lifetime natural) Should I go around and challenge Middle Schoolers to a bench press competition, or somebody my own age?

@@Nikoncha It's correct with Brian Shaw and then in the competition he actually performed worse on standard grip events

U r a disgrace to your own country Sri Lanka 😂😂. Why not go to Iceland and settle there.

Never stop believing brother, it may take time, but one day you'll do it.

@@kevinmee3501 Thank you my brother Kevin. 💪🏻❤️

Hgh

@@johannsebastianbach6282His dad does not use so I guess it is genes....

@@arniekando6846 obviously genes play apart

We talking Levis, wrangler or what?

​@@johannsebastianbach6282 genes don't just play a part, when it comes to bone structure, it's 99% genes.

Giant hands are definetly important and without it is impossible to grip it, but u still have to be rly strong to do it.

This challenge is more a test of how large your hands are rather than strength. At least for 50kg. Most men should be able to lift that.

I noticed that too, tall people in Iceland.

It's Crazy to see people are nearly as tall as Hafthor in Iceland this is Insane, i mean 6'9 is usually not Normal WTF !

@@devolutionone My hearing might be off but a lot of guys sounded American to me..or possibly Canadian. Seemed like people from all over.

English with Icelandic names*

Thats correct, in one of their videos he even beat multple of Hafthors strongmen buddies

Long fingers?

Wow, when was this? Can you remember the weights you guys did? Were they atlas stones or natural stones? Btw, Hafthor's grandfather is the person who engraved the numbers to all of Hafthor's natural stones.

@@Nirsterkur was 2022 by Thors Gym. Went to Iceland to lift stones. He was happy I knew so much about the stones and was able to lift the halfstrength stone. A true gentleman and got some great knowledge from him. Mad respect.

@@Nirsterkur Naty stones up to 135kg

@@Nirsterkur watched him scribe the weights in front of the gym and introduced myself.

I LIKE THE CHALLENGE YOU PROVIDE , ITS GOOD FOR HUMANITY
