Brian Shaw is amazing. Great competitor and just keeps on going. At his peak, he is def one of the 4-5 best to ever compete, and his longevity in the sport, especially at the highest levels is incredible. Not my favorite to watch, but I appreciate his consist approach and the way he just goes to work doing the nigh impossible.
This makes me think that Larry Wheels is even more impressive. I think he also lifted around 410kg without even being a classic powerlifter. I hope he will go this way, he has a lot of potential.

I hope people wont confuse this with the actual wr at the time. Its the strongman wr, Andy Bolton already pulled over 1000 lbs in 2007. I think benny also did beat andy’s record in 2011. But not exactly sure, still amazing to see so many guys hit those numbers in a competition at the same time then.
Straps do make a huge difference. I could pull about 100 lbs. more with straps than I could at a PL meet without them. But even with wraps and hitching the bar; the weights they are pulling today deserve all their due respect. I was glad to hear the commentator noting the difference in the two types of deadlifts. Much appreciated.
It’s always rewarding to go back and watch footage from the past and see what these guys were doing in driving the sport forward. Great to see Big Loz psyched up and of course Big Bri is still competing. Great memories.
The fact that soo many of these dudes are built like bodybuilders and yet have the strength of a powerlifter is simply amazing!! In 10 yrs I can't wait to see what weights are being lifted.
But... the 500 kg was done with a single-ply and elephant bar. A 900-930 lb raw deadlift would already be a difficult feat even for the most successful strongmen.
@@vids595 if thor and not eddy did the 500 kg world record, then eddie would have been motivated to train for the 501 or maybe 505 or smth. hafthor would have never done 501 if it wasnt to just beat eddie. so neither did the "better" lift, it was just someone doing it first and the other training just long enough to beat him cuz of rivalry...

@@tylerrobbins8311 Again, that is what they said about running, that is was physically impossible to run under a 4 min mile, yet the record is 3:43, It is impossible to run a marathon under 2 hours, yet they are getting closer and closer, at 2 hours and 2 minutes it is not suddenly possible. It was impossible to lift 500kg yet, it was done. We can not put limits on our bodies, because the limits are being broken all the time. What happens when someone with osteopetrosis starts lifting? In 9 years we went from people barely being able to do 400kg to 430kg being the warmup for the top guys. We simply can not say 600kg will never be reached.
I recently saw a video in which Cailer Woolam sumo-ed something like 420kg. Dude was competing in the 220lb category I think i.e. nowhere near strongman physical proportions. Absolutely insane just how much the standards have improved in just the last decade.
Enjoy it because the next one scheduled will totally suck. Masks, & less people in the audience because of stupid social distancing rules. This is one of the last normal competitions we'll be watching.
In Norway there was a fisherman born in 1859 named Johan Arnt Bredesen. 7 foot high and 177 kg. He lifted a stone weighing around 1200 kg / 2640 lbs. Once he lifted a roing boat filled with heavy goods, including 2 sacks of wheat weighing 100 kg each, and several of his family members inside the boat, after one hand, and walked aboard the local ferry. He also pulled hook with a circus bear and pulled it over the tabletop after one finger.
@@duskyracer8800 I really doubt Shaw could. Even when he was younger and 100%. Definitely not now. In fact before Eddie pulled 500 Shaw said he thought around 480 was the absolute max of human potential, perhaps he knew his own limitations and there was some slight arrogance there.
