Which legendary moment should we get the guys to react to next? 👇
Thor's 501kg deadlift
Iron Biby's axel press
I think you’re missing the key concept that reactions work best when the video hasn’t been seen already by the reactor. It’s not a must mind you. But it’s missing a key element.
As for what’s next, Kaz and the rest holding red wine on a claymore.
Thors 501 deadlift
My 200kg deadlift. The boys are gonna love it.
The 500kg deadlift by Eddie was the greatest moment in Strongman history.
Big Z doing 4 reps in the austian log is a big contender for #1 too
In sports*
HHHHHmjHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHmjHHHHHHHHHH
Big Z's log, or Austrian Oak is more impressive.
Equally, Thor has lifted more and thus its a greater lift.
If I’m not mistaken, on that day, nobody pulled more than 465kg. And it was a tough lift. Then Eddie comes in and speed reps it, breaks his own record, then goes above and beyond and pulls 500kg with even more in the tank. That was absolutely insane. One of the greatest if not the greatest strongman to ever live!
I think Bennie pulled the 465 pretty easily too, but not as easily as Eddie. Jerry definitely had more than 465 in him too, but not 500.
Jerry Bennie and Eddie pulled 465 almost effortlessly but jerry and Bennie still failed the 500 that shows how strong you have to be in order to do such a feat
Jerry pulled 465 fast too, and on top of that he wasn’t wearing a deadlift suit either.
Greatest strongman ever? Incredible feat but come on mate. Not even top 3 to ever do it.
Because 500kg was the next weight after 465kg. Other athletes were suggesting 480kg but the competition was tailor made for Eddie so they put 500kg. Jerry also said in an interview that Eddie rested almost 30 mins for that lift and Benny and Jerry were forced to wait for almost 45mins for their lifts in which they were already cooled down. The rule was always 15 mins rest but since it was tailor made for Eddie, they don't care about others that much.
“That’s how world records should be done… You pull it off, and then you die.” -Evan Singleton
Rumour has it… he was actually hydrated that day.
Just death drained him
Nah, hydrated Eddie would have lifted the entire venue.
Favorite lift of all time! For multiple reasons. First, because he didn't break the record by a kilo or 2 like him and Benny had been doing back and forth for a couple years. He set a milestone goal no one thought was possible. Secondly, because he did it the first time he tried it! Yes, Thor pulled it easier, and I'm almost positive he could have done more, but that wasn't the first time he tried, and he add multiple years of training. Yes, Thor's lift was stronger, but to me, Eddie's was better.
Thor's lift was conveniently done at home gym and not in the heat of a competition like Eddie's. Thor's lift had no weight
@@SHUBHAM678741 😂😂😂😂 numpty, there was nothing ‘convenient’ about it. Thor was training to pull it in WUS Bahrain comp but the show was cancelled
@@joshbrooker5819 it is convenient, in a stadium with thousands of people that arena was probably hot as hell, you have less or more time to wait between lifts, and of course the tension of just being there. Whereas Thor was in an Air conditioned gym, was able to take as much rest time as he needed, and had access to any food or drinks needed.
@@Silky_boi Thor had a strict 15 minute rest period because it was live streamed on ESPN. It was literally released in the rule post before his lift. You all act like it was som random gym lift with no rules, it wasn’t. It was stricter than Eddie’s lift, factually.
He had half as much rest exactly as Eddie who rested for as much time as he needed, came out every half an hour to lift because he wasn’t part of the main competition so wasn’t constrained to lifting with the other competitors. He was allowed to lift when he liked. He also dictated the weight jumps and brought his own bar & platform. As per, like most Eddie fans, you’ve done zero research on the topic 🤦🏼♂️
Third: He managed to do that thanks to an amazing mental work, making him disconnect from reality to save his childrens from a car. His words, he said he tried this because until few months before the attempt he felt like he wasn't even nearly close to lift that weight. He literally gone in another dimension during the lift, that's crazy what our mind can unlimit us
That was great. I'd like to see more "strongman react" videos, please.
We got more!
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Thank you! We watch from Belize 🇧🇿
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN seeing guys who know what it takes to lift heavy talk about a lift like this really adds a lot to it. Definitely want to see more react videos from you
I wish someone had recorded the other strongmen's reactions to his 420kg warmup.
Just because the lift has been surpassed doesn’t detract from it. Fantastic milestone in strength. Thanks for posting.
This lift was never surpassed. Competition an home lifts are just different. Anyone who competes knows this .
@@maxiebojangles5823 I couldn’t agree more, I was just being diplomatic. I winder who will be first to 505kg?
Lmao it never was
@@alc4117 what's up Eddie puppet
@@samarthur1847 i honestly think that Makarov fella will eventually get it. As soon as he gets his lockout down. He can definitely get it going off the floor
You have to realize that Eddie Hall beat the old record with 35 kg. That's like running 100m under 9 sec. Now that the mental barrier is gone more people will do it. But Eddie Hall will always be the first guy to do it. It's like the 4 minute mile.
In percent improvement, it rivals the 8.90m long jump from 1968 or Usain Bolt going 9.58 on his own 9.69 or when Michael Johnson went 19.32 on a WR of 19.68.
Or Karsten Warholm going 45.94 when the WR was 46.70!
It was actually 36 kg. The records from the year before was 464kg. They broke the record with multiple guys at 465kg and then Eddie broke it again with 500kg
Seeing Eddie's wife stood there with everyone cheering as she's so concerned for his well being is a prime example of how dangerous that lift could have been. Eddie is a machine.
Yeah he had a concussion and and internal bleeding from it. He said he lost his hearing in one ear for 2 weeks
@@doomeR_007 dudes is the beast
No matter how many times I see it…. Awesome
This was what made me start following strongman. Definitely the greatest moment ever. It wasn't just the record, or even that he smashed it by such a large number. It's that he did what everyone thought was impossible. This was such a triumph of the human spirit.
this is the best deadlift of all time. Literally get the chills every time I watch it
It's iconic, but Thor breaking the record was far smoother.
@@buikemm that doesn’t matter. It wasn’t in comp and he wasn’t the first to do it. Eddie’s will always be remembered as the 1st to ever do it
@@i_savagery Thor is the first to go above 500kg, emphasis on above.
We can still say Eddie has the in-competition record. But we can't take away the world record of Thor. That will be unjust. Thor did it in a smoother way too.
For all saying he did it in his backyard, all strongmen have tried the 500kg in their bedrooms too and none succeeded.
The son of Odin deserves his full respect.
Another one was Ernie Hachett Vs Bill Kazmaier at 1085 lbs back in the early 80's. It wasn't quite as deep of a DL as this one, but it was impressive to watch. Bill actually did the World's first 900 lbs DL in a powerlifting competition -- bare hands no assist RAW. He was thinking the same things in his day, as Eddie Hall thought in this era.
Roger Bannister broke the 4min/mile record. Nobody mentions the 2nd man to run under 4 minutes for the mile.
Who was the 3rd man the moon?
World records come and go. It's all about milestones, and Eddie reached a milestone first. That's forever.
Evan singleton is hilarious
yes. But I got the impression that he doesnt really like eddie a lot.
I get goosebumps everytime i watch this historic lift. Eddie Hall is a Legend.
At the end of the day a WR is a WR. We know Thor break the deadlift for 1KG and his effort were formidable. But you have to understand that Eddie in that day *already broke the WR Deadlift* pulling 465KG off the floor and a few minutes later he pulled the greatest lift in human history being already fatigue. Pulling +35KG on top of a WR you already broke the same night has never happened in ALL strength sports. This is the reason I believe most people credit Eddie Hall to still be the record holder and Deadlift King. Not even mentioning his physical disadvantage between Top 10 Strongmen stats he competed with. A true BEAST
No, we don't know Thor broke it. It wasn't done at a comp level. End of
@@JG-lw5uz there was no comp, it was cancelled because of COVID.
At the end of the day, Thor had Rogue weigh his plates, he had the most respected ref in to officiate, and it was all under competition *conditions*. The exact same thing applied to Shivlyakov breaking the masters deadlift record around the same time. No one disputes that lift because they don't have a vendetta like with this.
Speaking of competitions, Eddie's 'comp' was a farce set up entirely for him with his deadlift bar, his conditions, his weights picked by himself and Benny and Jerry there to make it look like a comp and not a one man show. He also did it in a multi-ply suit whereas Thor was single ply.
@@EVO6- you're clutching at so many straws showing you know absolutely nothing about Strongman.
@@EVO6- his Dad and yes men weighed the plates 💀😅
@@JG-lw5uz finally get over it and stop making a fool out of yourself. The record was broken by Thor and your opinion will not change that. Look at the lift and just enjoy it instead of talking it down.
I get chills every time I see him set up for the lift. The intensity and energy he had to summon in that moment is unfathomable. If you lift, you can appreciate the intensity of that moment.
This deadlift and Benny's 460 are goated
Bennis 460 was unweighed sadly
the raw deadlift from benny is just madness xD
When I saw it I was legit worried for his life.
Me too. After he dropped it back down, he fell unconscious.
This moment will always be number one. End of.
My favourite lift of all time ☺️.
That was won of the best videos. And I can’t even describe why. I guess the love and respect they have for one another. And the fact everyone is happy he accomplished it. Amazing.
Eddies 500kg in strongman and Andy Boltons 1000lb in a powerlifting meet are the two greatest and iconic feats in strength history. Both by Englishmen 😂🏴
But then you got Mark Felix who is one of Britain's best too and he's 56 years old and still active!!
@@macthecook4484 mate mark Felix is a legend! Its genuinely unreal that a man of that age can be competitive at that level! Mind blowing
Colin Bryce reaction: "here we gohablashebadayeahhh" 😏🤣
Maybe eating chicken wings?
Love Gav's comment 'looks pretty fucked there' 🤣
And a wee bit of shrug. . 🔥🔥🔥
What’s really wild is Eddie’s doctor told him to lose weight or he could die and he goes and deadlifts 500 kilos. Madlad
Iconic Moment
That's the greatest lift I've ever watched in my life. Unbelievable Eddie.
I never noticed before how the bar got stuck on his shorts. I wonder if it would have been even smoother had that not happened. What a Beast indeed!
Look its another giants live video about eddie hall..wow...
Eddie endet up in the hospital while Hafthor was seen on Twitch playing Counter Strike a mere two hours after his 501.
Lol, and?
Not only that.. 501 was never verified.. but his dad verified it, so it counts, right?
@@JG-lw5uz Did you see anyone weighing the bar or plates when Eddie did the 500kg?
@@EmilBBechGrip did you not see it was done at a competition level? Did you not see any of it being properly officiated by the GBOR?
@@JG-lw5uz Not verified? It's literally in the Guiness Book Of World Records, how much more verification do you want??
@@JG-lw5uz Sure but how is Thor's lift not "verified" when they actually showed the plates being weighed? What more would you have him do?
The logo on the poster behind is same like when eddie lifts 500kg
The ONLY man to ever lift 500kg in competition... The greatest lift in history bar none
He held that and looked at everyone there before dropping it
Wauw this is totally new to me, imagine if giants live posted this lift every 14th day for years……
It's like Travis Pastrana doing the first double backflip. No matter how many people do it after, he'll always be first. He was the one who broke that barrier and no one can ever take that away. Just like Eddie with this lift.
double backflip???? ok,. im searching it now, had no idea that was humanly possible :O
goosebump creator.
One of if not my fav lift of all time because, When he did it almost everyone thought even getting close to 500kg was near impossible and he did it by jumping up in weight.
this man is the definition of no limit
Well this was pretty close to his limits tho. He almost died doing this😂
What makes Eddie's and Thor's so insane is that most people will never pull half of that. 200kg is a pretty strong pull for most people.
I can walk into my gym right now and not having done deadlifting in 2 yrs, I think I can do 100 kg.
200 kg would take me roughly a year of hard training to get near, but I might just get there (clean) in 18 months, considering I have work to attend.
So 200 kg is quite a feat yeah.
I've got two mates who live relatively lazy lifestyles and maybe train 1 day a month, if that. Both can walk in the gym no prep and pull 200kg 😂 but then I have another friend who trained 6 days a week, paid a coach for a year stuck to his plan and food prep and never got past 175kg. Truth is some people are just built different.
Even then, only a small % can deadlift that much weight
Bro, 100kg is a strong pull for 90% of people.
This is one of the craziest lifts I’ve ever seen
Like they said, groundbreaking lift.
Beast is for a reason simply the strongest man ever lived never to be beaten. He is massive when u stand next to him
The REAL deadlift World Record
It was the greatest lift of all time💪
Captain Matthew Webb, Sir Roger Bannister, Sir Edmund Hillary, Eddie Hall.
First and only man to ever do it.
Not only did he smash the previous record, Eddie doesnt have the physical advantages others like Hafthor and Brian have. He is truly a beast, just incredible.
Best lift ever.
React to Rauno’s masters record
And Luke Vs Oleksii at Europe’s, when Luke won and then when Oleksii won
For me this and lasha snatching 225kg are the two greatest feats of strength of all time
Lasha’s 225kg was insane the guy snatching over 500lbs over his head in one motion literally blew me away. He looked like he had more in the tank too.
More of a feat of technique than strength. Olympic lifting is all about timing and such. Not a pure measure of strength
@@jumbo9386 I would say both. I can deadlift 500lbs he can push over that over his head. No amount of technique can put that over your head without the strength to support it
im struggling with 150kg, and this man just pull that heavy ahh weight like a beast
the goat
Speed is key
Yes obviously you need strength, but Eddie followed Andy boltons principles. Speed and not overtraining will build an excellent deadlift
The bloke that knocked the shit and piss out of Eddy hall also beat his record right
Yawn. Always 1 prat with a smart mouth. Yeah thor allegedly beat the record in his own gym, not in competition in front of thousands of fans huge difference really, which is why Eddies lift in most people's view is still the "OFFICIAL" WR.
#1 Lift ever
The amount of shock and fear on his wife’s face after the lift when he collapsed. Must have been a scary moment for her
damn terry 2.0 looks good
I'm sure this will be a civil comment section...
Definitely 1 for the history books Eddie's determination would be worth a fortune if you could bottle it
*unpopular opinion.. Knees weren’t completely locked out.
Definitely an unpopular opinion since he literally held it up for multiple more seconds then he needed to, doesn't really matter after that bru
Eddies lift> Thors lift at his home gym
It's mad to think that the only reasons Eddie did this was so he could finance his strongman career and win WSM.
He holds it for an extended period...
I'm an Eddie fan, always have been. I think Thor in his prime, in competition against prime Eddie "THE BEAST" Hall, in front of TEN THOUSAND strongman fans would not be able to beat Eddie hall for the simple fact that the Beast would do whatever it took to surpass anything Thor could lift. I believe that Thor did indeed lift 501 but Eddie's 500KG in competition in front of all those fans will forever go down in history as THE greatest deadlift EVER. Absolute Legend.
They gotta fit Kearney into everything lol I wonder why😂
This is nice for an AVC.
It must’ve been so difficult just to live at this size.
With how much pressure that was built up inside him, I’m honestly surprised Eddie didn’t just explode
Considering how easily he lifted 500kg off the floor makes me think he could have done more Eddie definitely has the Hercules gene.
Me as a mechanics struggle to lift and hold up a 35kg gearbox to secure it with a screw...
Thor after unofficially lifted 501kg but it wasn’t in competition!
Madness… 😮 half a tonne 😳😳😳😳
Lucas, have a look at Renaissance Periodisation. He explains the idea of regular breaks and de-load weeks to reduce the fatigue you’ve had a few times.
I’m mass-gaining too at the moment. Clean food is defo hard work…! For reference, I’ve put on 4.2lbs (just under 2kg) a month with a bodyfat percentage maintaining 14-14.5%
Eddie Hall is a real giant beast to ever Walk the face of the earth!!!
He could have done 510kg that day, and shut down deadlifts for probably 10 years ...
Everyone remembers the 1st man to run the 4 minute mile....absolutely no-one(without googling it) can name the second.
It’s 250 on each 5 fingers what a animal
Eddie did this at the end of a 3 day competition when he was knackered and dehydrated! Thor "cheated" by being in his personal gym and only pulled 1 lift. The Beast forever!
No, he wasn't at all! Eddie was only there to lift the 500 kilos. The first event of the competition was the deadlift. He never intended to be in the rest of the competition.
I guess the lesson here is that, if you don’t pass out and nearly die, you ain’t tryin hard enough.
I think a lot people miss the point of all of this when we get into the Thor vs. Eddie argument for deadlift supremacy.
By doing the 500, Eddie brought the standard up by unbelievable margins and proved SO many people wrong. The previous record was more than 30 kg below that and there were so many people (even people close to Eddie) who were talking sh*t about Eddie’s chances in the months leading up to the lift. He also did it in front of an entire arena of people whereas Thor did it in his home gym surrounded mainly by his friends and family. I don’t care what you say, that has very big psychological impact on the lifter (anyone who has performed I front of a crowd can attest to this).
When Thor lifted the 501, he proved that he was a better deadlifter in terms of overall strength and capability. You can definitely argue that both of them were capable of more on the day of their lifts but Thor looked a lot smoother and even had a slight disadvantage being half a foot taller than Eddie and had to pull the bar much farther.
But at that point, expectations about pulling 500+ kg were a lot more optimistic than they were when Eddie did the 500. Eddie had already raised the bar and proved it was possible to pull 500 kg. No one was doubting Thor in same way they were doubting Eddie. I think with how good Thor was looking at his peak, almost everyone was pretty certain that he could do it.
Therefore in my opinion, Thor was definitely a stronger deadlifter and arguably a better strongman overall when they were both at their peaks, but Eddie’s lift is still by far the more impressive one. His had more significance and was far more impactful than Thor’s. Credit to both of these guys for what they accomplished during their lifetimes and glad they have at least agreed to disagree when it comes to their past beef.
Of course records will always be broken (and it was), but there's no multiverse where anyone makes such a huge leap in deadlifting again.
I'm not sure how much farther that lift will go. Thor probably had a few kg left on his pull. No one has come close to the 500kg mark since. We will probably see 505kg bit it's going to take time.
It wasn’t broken. You telling me if I break Michael Phelps’ records in my swimming pool with my dad timing me that it’s a real world record? Give me a break. Brain Shaw himself said he’s lifted what would be considered world records while in training, but it’s not a competition. It doesn’t count unless its a real competition. I won’t beat Komen’s 3000m world record by running at the gym or at a park no matter how fast I do it. So stupid.
What gets me is that 3 years after Thor (easily) lifted 501kg (apparently)he hasn't attempted anything heavier. Perhaps it's because we're not in lock down now and he has no excuse for having to do it in his own gym. A fact which always gets him angry when questioned about it.
A Real Life SuperHuman This is the first time you get to witness a god
How much weight eddie hall on the lift
Oldberg actually looks like Goldberg :D
Incredible lift, big respect to Eddie Hall. The aftermath shows just how superhuman Thor actually was in his prime, beating the 500KG WR easily and walking away like it is nothing. Truly incredible moments, this is why I love strongman!
Ye only took him another 4 years of training to beat Ed by one KG. To improve the record as much as Eddie did Thor would have to have lifted around 535KG.
@@mgrimble3975 Eddir spend years pulling out of contest after the deadlift everytime and kept training it all the time cause ir was his best lift. He did not took Thor 4 years of hard training to get there, he only did a single prep in a few months and got it easy. Haftor was busy actually competitng and training every events
@@mgrimble3975 The thing is I am fully aware that Eddie Hall did something incredible, I do not deny that at all. This is the problem with this debate, it seems some people think that because the record was broken it makes Eddies achievements smaller, which is not true. Thor was just on another level and beat the record very convincingly, it was also technically a much cleaner pull. And in all honesty I think no one denies that Thor could have gone higher than 501KG.
@@mgrimble3975 That was Thor’s way of trolling Eddie’s 2017 WSM win by one point. That’s the WSM that’s led to a beef between the two. Where Thor argued that he had done the same amount of Viking presses as Eddie, but the judges ruled otherwise. Eddie won that WSM by a point, therefore, Thor took the deadlift record by 1 kilo.
@@mgrimble3975 Such a stupid argument to make. The only way that would be relevant would be if Thor trained solely for deadlift since 2016. Since Eddie pulled 500kg, Thor got another 4 WSM podiums, winning one. Won another 3 ESM titles, won WUS, won the Arnold 3 times in a row, all on top of the titles he already had. Also, he already broke one of Eddie's deadlift records in the elephant bar in 2018 and pulles 474kg on that bar suitless for a speed rep. Don't pretend he spent all that time trying to beat a record.
I can't imagine the back strength needed, besides legs and hips. If I added another 35 kg to my maximum, then managed it with mind tricks, I'm sure bones would be broken.
👍
Everyone: greatest lift in history
Evan Singleton: bring back fat eddie
O que é que os caras cheiram antes de levantar?
I was in the crowd that day, first time the Europe's had moved from headingley stadium the year before and the atmosphere for a strongman event was crazy! I still thought Eddie had written a cheque he couldn't cash then it went up and the crowd went absolutely mental. Took two non-strongman fans and they probably still have no idea they witnessed something so monumental.
Thor goes on and does a 501kg with noone around but his own team.. .yep.. sure
It's honestly kind of sad the way this channel shills for a brand instead of the sport.
Yet. At some point the average Joe will remember him for losing to the mountain. RIP.
You still whining on chuckles.
Eddie made history, he weighed 400lbs here.
He got up to about 435 at 6 foot 3 and he gained so much of that in one year.
Impressive now let's their reaction to Hafthor
You'll never see that because all of the strongmen community were against him doing it in h9is home gym without any committee members to sanction the lift. Hence why there's barely any recognition to his lift. Its unofficial and the record is reported on but not a true undisputed World record
