@Rattan Prakash Negi Eddie has a lot, I mean *a lot* of static strength, but mobility is something you don't want to overlook. Most strongmen are fat, so they have to carry more weight than e.g. Mariusz Pudzianowski who has a body of a bodybuilder which is rarely seen in strongmen. This is what gave him his superior mobility.

If thor did honestly lift that weight we will see him lift 515kilo + in an official setting. The ease with which he lifted that is unparalleled and while he has made it to an impressive amount of worlds strongest man finals and Is clearly a strong and skilled man, I doubt he actually did a 500kilo lift with such comparatively little effort.
@@jacobpinson2834 exactly. Funny how in strongman competitions Thor was nowhere near the deadlifter Eddie was but in his home gym he pulls 501k with what seems like very little effort compared to Eddie's 500k. However even if he did truly pull 501k it was always have that important asterisk beside it read "out of competition". Apparently there's a bounty for 505k at this year's DL championship. We'll see if anyone can pull more than 500k in competition.
@@jacobpinson2834 Thor retired and dropped a shit-ton of bodyweight, so we'll likely never see him attempt it in competition. I believe he did it legitimately. Look at Thor's physique and all-round strength! He was walking around looking fairly lean at 200kg because of his height -- there's very few strongmen/powerlifters who can do that. That being said, Eddie's deadlift was way more impressive in my eyes; not only was 500kg a massive jump from the previous records, but it was done under competition rules. If Eddie didn't tell everyone he was going to lift 500kg and follow through, I doubt anyone else would have got close by now as it seemed impossible.
The lift at 1:53 was made look easy not only to lift that amount of weight but to actually gently place it back down , Dang this is very very Impressive !
not totally convinced that lift was legit, wasn't done in an official meet with calibrated plates and he never did anything like that again and conveniently got injured straight afterwards
I always think that if Thor had done 505(which it looked like he might have been able to) the controversy pretty much goes away. 1kg is probably within the margin of "home field advantage" and "special day, setup just for you" but 5-10kg isn't.
I think 505-510 was absolutley possible. His 501 was really smooth. Would have been Great if he made one more attempt. Sad he didnt, but health and family is nr1
Great video! Enjoyed that it had camera angles on some of the lifts that I haven't seen before. Like Benni with the "What did she say?" Haha! Also, Andy Bolton doesn't get enough credit. He pulled massive deadlifts many times in full meets after squatting 900+ and even 1000+.
Bolton pulling 1000lbs+ was ground breaking - there weren't many in the world over 900lbs back then and he did it without straps. Eddie pulling 500kg was another huge milestone as no one thought it was possible.
@@Dylan-pt1iv dont forget if Eddie didnt have pulled that 500kg, thor would never have tought about doing it himself, im sure of it. and i agree with your opinion aswell

Benni Magnusson for sure. Raw with a stiff bar : the ultimate true deadlift. Figure 8 straps, bars that whip like plane's wings during turbulence, a suit so hard to stretch they have trouble reaching the bar...

@@jacobpinson2834 Thor isn't *as* crazy as Eddie. He's way more strategic about things. As far as I've seen he doesn't do any unecessary work, just the right amount to win. Meanwhile Eddie is wasting some of his energy and health to show off. Love him for that, but it takes its toll.

@@Vargashomes breaking a record by 1 kg is perfectly normal, and done all the time. Eddie did it too on mulltiple lift including the deadlift. Most of Eddie'q fans had no idea what strongman was year ago but think they know enough to decide who's lift is legit or not lmao
@@jackcough8155 thats one event, i said overall And yes 1 kg is 1kg. He did the lift with more in the tank. Think he easy could lift around 510 if he tried. Eddies lift was Great, but he nearly died. Therefor i think hafthors lift was way more clean
You're underestimating Big Z, he was incredibly strong but also well rounded. Not a single bad event for Big Z. Also Eddie Hall never won the Arnold Strongman Classic, the heaviest competition in the world, and Big Z won it 8 times, so I'm not sure why your pick is Eddie.
1:58 For my opinion Benedikt Magnusson is the best deadlifter on the Planet, the style is pure amazing power, and 460kg RAW have much value on 500kg & 501kg with suit ,rope for hand grip, and band knee.
Maggnuson was seeing stars for a long minute with all the internal pressures. the way Eddie hall looks around after lifting 500kg is insane, gets me everytime.
it should be invalid. yes we know that he did lift the weight and the weight lifted was measured accordingly by rogue professionals: but lifting in your own home gym is far far easier than in comp
@@Althubx What part of the world record deadlifts say competition? Eddie has the world record in competition deadlift? If that's the case then go down the line of world records counted prior. None where specific plates or even the same height. It is valid as it is the heaviest weight deadlifted off the floor and locked out. THE END.
@@sourstrawberry6636 "authentic" it was officiated by the most highly recognized referee in the sport. Not only that it was highly stringent by weighing and inspecting every weight and implement used. It was sanctioned by a highly recognized strongman entity. There is no governing body in strongman. The previous records where done no where near to this level of oversight. Its as "authentic" as it can get. In my opinion too "authentic". Strongman isn't about calibrated plates and exact lift height etc. Its about a broad field of strength testing. Records in strong man are just not as important as they are in let's say powerlifting. This guy deadlifted 501kg under the watchful eye of the most highly regarded referee. No one else has deadlifted more under more stringent circumstances in the sports history.
In the context of leaping from 465kg to 500kg, it really does show how feeble a victory Thor's pull was. Still impressive, don't get me wrong, but the way the guy talked up the Eddie Hall fight after and basically ended his strongman career off the back of a 1kg win did himself a disservice.
Haftor has nothing more to prove in strongman, especially compared to Eddie. 10 majors vs 1 says a lot. He ended on this deadlift cause Eddie has been trashtalking everyone everytime there was a deadlift event. He did a confortable 501 with less prep time than eddie, went on to win his decade Island strongest man and retired. Nothing wrong with that

@@J.c410 He only won WSM once. Whichever way you swing it, that still leaves something to prove. And he started the whole beef with Eddie due to his accusations of cheating. I'm a big Thor fan but there's no doubt he soured his own legacy with the whole smack talking and fight thing. If he'd stayed quiet after the 501, walked WSM2020 (which he would've, injuries not withstanding) then he would've secured his legacy. Only then announce the fight.
@@edwardchester1 wsm isnt the only contest out there lmao. Arnold is even cinsidered better by many. That whole fight thing was already planned and signed before he lifted 501, you're a fool if uou think Haftor talking about it started anything, it was pure promotion. He won everything there is, beat everyoen along his way and retired cause it was pointless to stay at 200kg.
@@TheKims82 That 500kg damn near killed Eddie. His heart and cardio system were in extreme overdrive to power his body to that extreme release of energy. We really are approaching the boundary of what can be done as we are without evolving in some way. Maybe with another 3-4 generations of people born through the families of those amazing athletes we might see someone with the right genes to pull it off.
500 almost killed Eddie and Thor looks like he could have done it for reps. It's amazing how strength continues to improve as time goes on! Can't wait for the next generation of freaks 💪
Turns out I'm the only fan of both Hafthor and Eddie. Thor is the better all round strength athlete.. You wanna see him in real life, the giants like Thor, Brian and Tom have a huge genetic advantage.. Mass moves mass. Thor probably could have moved heavier but he didn't need to, he only wanted to beat Eddie. Personally I find Eddie's lift (and wsm win) more impressive as he had to work harder for it and he's also a natural showman so always fun to watch. Once all the filming stopped and thor could focus 100% on strength then he clearly smashed everything. Arnold's, wsm, the deadlift. Debatably the strongest of all time for a bit. Don't get me wrong, Eddie was too but his body just couldn't sustain it, had he have continued he would be dead by now. Thor could have safely kept going I believe but there's a lot of money in boxing I guess. Two legends who probably dislike each other a lot less than people think.
Nope your not the only fan, I like Eddie but his ego near the end, was getting too much for me, Thor has been my favorite for a while, I don't think at this moment there has ever been a stronger man to walk the planet, when Brian and Big Z were doing all the winning, Thor was making movies, TV show's and still making top 3, I think he could smash the powerlifting total with dedication & work on his grip, probably win a couple more Arnolds and WSM titles, in competition 501 out in front of a crowd 510-515kgs with only what he could make look easy
@@stevelynch5843 I agree about everything, thor is a monster, and can understand the dislike of Eddie's character (I don't think the same of course as I like it and find the bravado entertaining, it's tongue and cheek banter. Eddie is humble but 'the beast' isn't). He's a divisive guy so he's doing something right. Due to his personality he has raised the profile of strongman in general however, gets people talking wether they like him or dislike him. Kind of like the mcgregor of strongman, more eyes means more money which means more full time professionals which means better competitions for us all to watch.
@@mgu-vx4ib I can only assume you didn't read my comment as I explain exactly how he had to work harder having less natural gifts. If you want to believe his title was rigged then that's up to you. The other athletes who were there don't believe it so I'll go with them
Eddie Hall seems like a nice man. Very humble. I feel Halfthor is more of a show-off. But anyway, both better than me. I can only lift about 4 shopping bags so can't really have an opinion.

Bennys 460 raw is still sets the standard. Best deadlift of all time
He not only lifted the weight, he put it down *slowly* 1:55 what a beast.
I remember my summer camp idolized Paul Anderson and used him as a source of inspiration to never give up
Anyone else notice how Eddie held up the weight longer after that loss?
Maggnuson was seeing stars for a long minute with all the internal pressures. the way Eddie hall looks around after lifting 500kg is insane, gets me everytime.
They lifted me at my heaviest. Wow!
Love Eddie, im british so he's a fukin legend...but I always admired jerry pritchett , always looked good and lifted with ease.
Don't forget Gary Taylor
That was a big position you guys took saying that Thor’s record isn’t valid. I’m impartial but damn...
They didn't say it was invalid. Its just, out of competition. Because it was
it should be invalid. yes we know that he did lift the weight and the weight lifted was measured accordingly by rogue professionals: but lifting in your own home gym is far far easier than in comp
@@Althubx What part of the world record deadlifts say competition? Eddie has the world record in competition deadlift? If that's the case then go down the line of world records counted prior. None where specific plates or even the same height. It is valid as it is the heaviest weight deadlifted off the floor and locked out. THE END.
@@MTGBroker nope, on a stage , in front of thousands, is more authentic no matter what you say
@@sourstrawberry6636 "authentic" it was officiated by the most highly recognized referee in the sport. Not only that it was highly stringent by weighing and inspecting every weight and implement used. It was sanctioned by a highly recognized strongman entity. There is no governing body in strongman. The previous records where done no where near to this level of oversight. Its as "authentic" as it can get. In my opinion too "authentic". Strongman isn't about calibrated plates and exact lift height etc. Its about a broad field of strength testing. Records in strong man are just not as important as they are in let's say powerlifting. This guy deadlifted 501kg under the watchful eye of the most highly regarded referee. No one else has deadlifted more under more stringent circumstances in the sports history.
People always get mad when I say this, but Thor’s 501 will always have an asterisk next to it in my mind. I just can’t see it as official.
neither was Benni's
Benni's 460kg 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Awesome video!!!
In the context of leaping from 465kg to 500kg, it really does show how feeble a victory Thor's pull was. Still impressive, don't get me wrong, but the way the guy talked up the Eddie Hall fight after and basically ended his strongman career off the back of a 1kg win did himself a disservice.
Haftor has nothing more to prove in strongman, especially compared to Eddie. 10 majors vs 1 says a lot. He ended on this deadlift cause Eddie has been trashtalking everyone everytime there was a deadlift event. He did a confortable 501 with less prep time than eddie, went on to win his decade Island strongest man and retired. Nothing wrong with that

@@J.c410 He only won WSM once. Whichever way you swing it, that still leaves something to prove. And he started the whole beef with Eddie due to his accusations of cheating. I'm a big Thor fan but there's no doubt he soured his own legacy with the whole smack talking and fight thing. If he'd stayed quiet after the 501, walked WSM2020 (which he would've, injuries not withstanding) then he would've secured his legacy. Only then announce the fight.
@@edwardchester1 wsm isnt the only contest out there lmao. Arnold is even cinsidered better by many. That whole fight thing was already planned and signed before he lifted 501, you're a fool if uou think Haftor talking about it started anything, it was pure promotion. He won everything there is, beat everyoen along his way and retired cause it was pointless to stay at 200kg.
@@J.c410 Yawn. I know. The point I'm making is that he made his exit from the sport about Eddie Hall, rather than his amazing record.
Benny puts the weight down like i put my cup down on grandmas coffee table
7:15 as of this moment he's still in the rarefied air of Valhalla, and thus can't see the woman or address mere mortals - only Odin, over her shoulder
BRO THE GUYS WHO PULLED WITH NO STRAP IS OP!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
460kg with out straps, amazing
I ve never did a deadlift and i've watched so much of this by now omg.
460 kg raw is the best record
Love that they finished the video with Thor. Perfect😎
Eddie deadlifting literally 10x what i can lmao
@M I R A C L E i deadlift 40kg
You dont deadlift?
I bearly deadlift 70kg but I may improve am 14
@@AAER-vc4et wait till puberty kicks in
@@Ojthemighty what's the problem
My lower back starts hurting watching this 🥲
I’m 5’3” at 15 years old weighing 160 and did a max deadlift of 335 pounds is that good?
Lifting 335lbs is highly impressive if you had enough endurance and raw strength exercises. So I must say it's not good...but incredible!
Great video 👍🏼
thanks
Going from 400kg to 500kg in just a few years is insane. Will we see a 600kg deadlift before 2030?
Who knows, maybe if the Giant Dutchman aims to become a strongman he can manage to do it since he's 2,18 and very healthy
@@gabrielkeni7965 Being tall is a disadvantage when it comes to deadlifts. He would have to pull the weights much higher than the smaller guys
@Mynne140 They said the same thing about 500kg.
@Mynne140 yes some total change in human physique can enable us to do so
@@TheKims82 That 500kg damn near killed Eddie. His heart and cardio system were in extreme overdrive to power his body to that extreme release of energy. We really are approaching the boundary of what can be done as we are without evolving in some way. Maybe with another 3-4 generations of people born through the families of those amazing athletes we might see someone with the right genes to pull it off.
Old skool Guys NO STRAPS!
Eddie hall 500k was an epic moment, he dint even wannet to let go of the barcause he liked the moment
it seemed like he was holding it there to convince the judges it was a good lockout
Great to see the sportsmanship at 7:35 :)
Back when thor was a decent human
Official Strongman included Thor's pull? Am i awake?
Yup
LOL usually Official strongman acts like its the Official eddie hall fanpage..
@@sander258258ify but they just had to include it was out of competition.. cheap shot if you ask me... he had less rest times than eddie did
They should not have, it was just a gym lift.
@@PrimeMatt Do gym lifts have official judges?
The 501, is like a dog saying to another :
"Look, I can piss higher and further than you"
that's how most record are broken in strengh sport. Eddie did it too on multiple lifts including the deadlift
Nice🔥
Love the trance
500 almost killed Eddie and Thor looks like he could have done it for reps. It's amazing how strength continues to improve as time goes on! Can't wait for the next generation of freaks 💪
It wasnt the deadlift that almost killed him, but he held it for an extra 4 seconds
Watching this the day after a deadlift session to remind myself I ain't shit.
Turns out I'm the only fan of both Hafthor and Eddie. Thor is the better all round strength athlete.. You wanna see him in real life, the giants like Thor, Brian and Tom have a huge genetic advantage.. Mass moves mass.
Thor probably could have moved heavier but he didn't need to, he only wanted to beat Eddie.
Personally I find Eddie's lift (and wsm win) more impressive as he had to work harder for it and he's also a natural showman so always fun to watch.
Once all the filming stopped and thor could focus 100% on strength then he clearly smashed everything. Arnold's, wsm, the deadlift. Debatably the strongest of all time for a bit. Don't get me wrong, Eddie was too but his body just couldn't sustain it, had he have continued he would be dead by now.
Thor could have safely kept going I believe but there's a lot of money in boxing I guess.
Two legends who probably dislike each other a lot less than people think.
Nope your not the only fan, I like Eddie but his ego near the end, was getting too much for me, Thor has been my favorite for a while, I don't think at this moment there has ever been a stronger man to walk the planet, when Brian and Big Z were doing all the winning, Thor was making movies, TV show's and still making top 3, I think he could smash the powerlifting total with dedication & work on his grip, probably win a couple more Arnolds and WSM titles, in competition 501 out in front of a crowd 510-515kgs with only what he could make look easy
@@stevelynch5843 I agree about everything, thor is a monster, and can understand the dislike of Eddie's character (I don't think the same of course as I like it and find the bravado entertaining, it's tongue and cheek banter. Eddie is humble but 'the beast' isn't). He's a divisive guy so he's doing something right.
Due to his personality he has raised the profile of strongman in general however, gets people talking wether they like him or dislike him. Kind of like the mcgregor of strongman, more eyes means more money which means more full time professionals which means better competitions for us all to watch.
@@mgu-vx4ib I can only assume you didn't read my comment as I explain exactly how he had to work harder having less natural gifts.
If you want to believe his title was rigged then that's up to you. The other athletes who were there don't believe it so I'll go with them
Eddie Hall seems like a nice man. Very humble. I feel Halfthor is more of a show-off. But anyway, both better than me. I can only lift about 4 shopping bags so can't really have an opinion.
All on the open stage, only one has to do it in his own gym
because it was during a pandemic - he'd have pulled that in a comp (possibly more). I'm not a massive Thor fan either, but credit where it is due.
And Eddie never finished the lockout get over it
Excellent.
awesome power, who else is waiting for 600 kgs? (I assume it will come before 2030)
I dont think the human spine will be ok with that.
@@peterlundstrom6740 yeah, that is possible but with some compresion suit and some belt maybe achievable, we will see
@@kubokuric2075 you grossly underestimate how heavy 600 kg is. Basically the weight of an f1 car. Half that is a really strong lift.
@@bmstylee bro i can lift 880 lbs deadlift and i not compete im strogman ahhaha i gym guy human don´t have limite beacuse we have tecnology
@@vinividivici5844 video or never happened
11:11 Goku becoming SSJ6 in the background.
At least you're saying the numbers in kg
My back hurt from watching this
*comes from no where
Ronnie : "Laight weeeight baaabyyy"
Brutal my back hurts just watching
If Thor fanbois want his lift to be respected maybe he should do it in public or competition
Imagine how strong a fullthor would be
Eddie's 500 will always be more impressive then Thor's :C
Andy Bolton, 2009 over 457kg!!!! 😳😲 Benedikt 460kg without straps!!!!😳😲😲😎 ..... Eddie Hall, the 1st man ever to deadlift 500kgs!!!!😳😲😎 And then Strongman competitions??!! After days of gruesome competing in numerous events.... drained, exhausted, in pain..... and still fighting on??!! Freaking awesome!! 😳😲😎
Benny's lift is the best, Eddie's was the scariest, and Thors 501 out of competition was the sketchiest
Gey it right Thors was more impressive then Eddie's because he locked it out Eddie didnt
that guy at 1:49 bro it wasnt even hard for him o.o he deposed the barbell super slowly also haha!
