Hafthor and Hilmar are the new best thing in strongman!
take note kids, the king is warming up with empty barbell. no excuses for you
I noticed that too. Lol
Julius does too
Doesn’t everyone?
@@anthonyproffitt5341i do with 20kg or 40kg max for warmup
@@anthonyproffitt5341Most gym bros skip just the barbell warmup, they go straigt on putting plates
I am NO expert, but I experienced a major peck tear 19 years ago. The only advice I have is if you are feeling that "sensation," listen to your body and play the long-game. You can risk it and hit 1 PR today, or be smart and still be hitting PRs 10, 20, 30 years from now.
I'm a big Thor fan but I doubt he'll be able to PR in the bench press in year 2035. By then he should have achieved all goals and already done with strongman forever.
And finished weighing over 150kg in body weight. But I agree with you that he can take it easy anyway
This is just generally good advice.
@jebudylajtwejt8051 yeah. I'll be 50 in a couple months and still set PRs, just not lifetime PRs. Like the other day I did a pull-up "since I turned 40" PR. 9 months ago, I set a "since I tore my pec when I was 31" bench press PR. As the years roll by, you gotta find ways to be motivated to stay in decent shape.
@@jebudylajtwejt8051 you mean weighing 200kg+...he's over 400 pounds dude lol
@@demetriuscooksey7147 It's amazing what can be done if we are focused. Even well past the age of 50.
Thor, our gym owner is planning to add your Thor edition power bar to our gym. All the boys are excited to PR ourselves on every lift!
Really looking forward to embark on your close grip Bench pressing journey, which is progressing well at the moment Hafthor! Hope you had a well deserved Rib Eye steak after this session!
1 - Good to see the pressing strength coming back, fullsterkur is coming and coming FAST
2 - We'd love to hear you and Hilmar get into some deep as fuck conversations, you could speak freely in full Icelandic and then get a translator to put it in English subtitles in the video.
Watching and training along with you for years, every time i see you im always having a proper laugh and appreciation for your strength
You’re an absolute beast, Hafthor! 💯 Your strength and determination are next level. I truly value the great content you’ve shared!
We had a sauna in our health club but never bothered to try until I saw Hafthor doing his regular hot-cold and sauna work. It not only helped with circulation but also improved joint health.
About the sensation, why not take opinions from another couple of experts in addition to Dr. Mora, Hafthor? I believe it is imperative to totally overcome this mental barrier to become the best again.
Good advice. He can be a top surgeon in pec tears but there are some unreal rehab guys out there, that are top in their field.
I'm here for both Hafthor's training and Hilmar's quotes!
Close grip work is looking good brother!
Looking huge Hafy , I can see the push for+500! Injuries take time, you got this.
Hilmar kills me hahahahaha
Thor's body is becoming so huge, it's making his head look small. Whatever he's doing it seems to be working.
Great way to start the week! Let’s go Thor 💪
Probably should get in contact with your surgeon and ask if it’s normal.
Waited 6 days for a new Hafthor video! 😇
Breath life into your pec. Relax it so it doesn't choke with stiffness. Fear can cause the wrong muscles to contract which can cause injury. Courage can revive the tissue but be intelligent too. Build the confidence which will eliminate injury causing fear. It takes time and patience. You are doing extremely well with big weights. Maybe prioritize lower body, deadlift! etc.. until the full confidence in the pec is back to push it harder.
the audio is pretty low. Did you upload it with 60% ?
Mental scars take longer to heal than physical ones.
Contagious pec tears 🤣I love hilmar what a man
I think the sensation is simply nerve irritation from the tear
Have you got your surgeons opinion on it?
Nerve entrapment is possible from scar tissue, and adhesions. A top level neuromuscular doctor can also look at his firing patterns via EMG. They may have done this...if not top level ART and a thorough EMG is where I would start.MRI has likely been done to look at things post surgery already.
Hafthor, I'm training with You guys! Stay healthy and strong! Ps nice hats 😂😂
Smart to not do set 3, always listen to the sensation
Hilmar the orator, hilmar and Thor shit all over Eddie and Brian!! My new fav strongman power couple 🤣🤣
Got to bench in a straight line it makes you use more triceps and squeeze the bar really hard it also helps use more triceps. Also got to lower the bar by squeezing your lats like a row. Scott Mendelson talks about this a little bit and use your leg drive to get the bar off your chest then finish with your triceps. Keep your elbows close to your body this also reduces chest activation.
That surgery seemed advanced and very modern! Plus all the prp/stem cell injections give me faith you'll reach your old strength and continue to improve! Even if it takes 5 years.
It’s official, best weight lifting channel on TH-cam
Hafthors goin 2 Explode on 505 #WhatIttakes
Literally read it as Hafthors GROIN 2 explode. I was like…pfft…yeah, ok sure…maybe with pleasure! 🤣. Then i realized i totally misread it and im a dum dum 🤓 . Thanks for the journey!
@ xd
Only 2 contenders for 505 Hafthor 100% and possibly 1 other
Mitchell Hooper is not attempting the deadlift world record with Thor apparently, there's no official info but Loz said that Mitch is aiming for the DLs championship.
What about Tom Stoltman? lol, just kidding he is a joke. Mitchell Hooper Besides Thor are the only two people that can hit the 505 kg deadlift.
i do really miss the "old days" of strongman when was thor, eddie, savickas, brian. but thor is back which is good
These videos r like old school cool!
Congratulations
I'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice but it could be nerve sensitization meaning the nerves might still be sensitive/overactive due to the initial injury despite it being fully healed. Ask your PTs/doctors about it if you weren't already aware of it, but the biggest "treatment" that you are already doing is desensitizing by continuing to bench like normal (assuming it's no more than just a very minor uncomfortableness), there's also CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness, and different other techniques as well.
Like when you're benching, if you just feel a very minor/slight sensation you don't want to adjust your cadence/focus on it too much because your reassuring your brain that there must be something wrong. So instead just be like "Oh hey that's a very slight sensation, that's okay!" and then keep it exactly the pace you would if you hadn't felt anything to begin with.
From what I understand there's the biopsychosocial pain model, which means a lot of pain (maybe most?) is actually an interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors.
I love sardines, good protein and fish oil
Contagious 🫵
Looking bit tired 🤔 is recovery going ok?
But still, pressing looking good and carefull, good luck big man 👌🏻😎
13:30 Attention creates.... If you want something and you think about it and get happy about it, you are creating more of it..... and the same with attention to the negative, if you say NO to something, and you give it more attention like " I dont want more of this, I dont like it" and you keep focusing on it, you are creating MORE of it...... the trick is to always let the worries go, and focus totally in the positive expectation and feel that.... move on from the injury, dont even remember that you had it, you are a new man, strong and healed. and focus on the next goal!!! Repeat it 10.000.000 times in your mind if necessary, until you convinced yourself of the new reality. Remove your attention from the issue, focus on the story you want to create. Control your mind/inner dialogues and you will control the outcomes of your life.
Hilmar being funny again hahaha
even the bench width falls kinda short for him. I wish u luck thor. I want u to go for 510 not 505. You can do it♥
Cavemen happy about learning new words
Hello you strong bastard!! 😂 I did subscribe!! Good videos!! I hope nice and strong day to you!! 👍
Higher rep range, higher frequency larger ROM and much lighter weights. No matter whether the sensation is just mental or there is actually still something not 100% healed, getting the body used to the motion again will help.
Maybe even regress it to pushups and work on volume and ROM there...
1million subscribers lets goo❤❤❤
I hate the sauna and here comes Thor preaching it's benefits... am I going have to suffer through this now for my next prep?
16:42 "Physical contagionuity." 😂
Not the worst thumbnail I’ve ever seen
my favourite strongman duo
Thor, whats the reason for the closer grip bench press? Is it due to the injury or just part of the training plan?
Biggest words for the biggest dudes
The fear of injury reoccurrence is real, Halfthor and Helma are real lifters speaking truths so helpful and encouraging for me who share common injury ❤❤❤ God Bless this Channel!!!
You have potential as a comic duo. Like Shaw and Hall
Thor and Thor Jr
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would send some new scans to the surgeon and get his opinion, you don't need mind games affecting your workouts.
Thor's mind is so concentrated on that part of his chest, that his body is probably just sending signals from there that mean nothing.
face pulls r great.
Torn ACL club😂
I am not anywhere near your capabiluty. But i trained for 25 years and coached a lot normal and amateur guys.
To me the question would be:
DO I REALLY NEED THE BENCH. ?
FOR WHAT DO I NEED IT?
ARE THERE OTHER EXERCISES WHICH CAN REPLACE THE BENCH?
I think you want to get better overhead.
So i would do a lot of overhead presses, but different ones.
And substitute with 30° incline dumbell bench.
You asked. This is my opinion
I wish I was a big Icelandic dude 😂
Thor lookin thicc boi 😎
💪
My wife have given me the silver back Thor t-shirt, cant wait to get it, but it have now been 16 days since ordering it, hoping to get it before xmas.....😮
i've also felt the guitar string thing where it goes numb. i always stop when it happens. but bro ask doctor lol.
The beard is gone again! 😩
One day, Thor will grow his beard to his chest and on that day he will deadlift 600kg
Is there a bench press at the Arnold's?
Moving 20kg like it's nothing !!!
As I the only one nervous when Thor does bench?
Invite to worlds …. I know you said you wasn’t planning on doing it but would you possibly consider it , leave the past issues behind and look at the future and what you could achieve more of , be great to see back at worlds
8:51 for a couple of burgers, I mean glory!
Belly bro's❤
Eddie Hall is a flog! Lets go Thor!
Looks like a completely different person without the beard lol.
Bro makes the bar look like it’s a toy
Funny video brohs!
The lion may have won this battle but that stab wound is going to hinder future hunts for sure or even impede its mobility to defend its pride from rival males
😂😂😊❤🇧🇷❤🙏😆😆🫡💪
yooooo btw .... smelling farts is good for your heart ... good for cardiovascular for some reason ... im not making this up
maybe i missed it, but when/where is the attempt occuring?
Physical contagionuity!!!
Who was the "Sauna Expert"?
Damn, looks like Haraldsson lost 60kg of weight
You probably have a little scar tissue in you peck, and it is not as pliable as regular muscle tissue so you can feel it trying to stretch. It should not be a problem it will just feel a little weird for a while.
10:55 Wait a minute! Doesn't he have steak, EVERY DAY?
I don't think so, that was Brian's diet, Thor's is different according to what he said
Physical contaginuity 😂😂😂
my advice - pause ever rep on bench from now on. Dont do any touch and go, its the change in direction that tears pecs 99% of the time - pausing every rep - removes that change in direction speed to 0 and the negative sensations will be minimised massively
Didn’t he tear it pausing it?
Pausing keeps the muscle at max tension in the most fragile position (stretch). Reactive contraction can of course cause tears as well, but so does pausing high loads in the stretched position of the pecs...
@@shekargarvey8330 no he tore it before it touched it chest, on the slow decline down to his chest
Does anyone know why they only do 1 set of each of the exercises at the end?
Why are you asking us? You've got a surgeon, ask him what the sensation is?
There are as he said some very knowledgeable people who watch the channel, who maybe able to offer him advice. The surgeon is a top guy in his field but there are rehab people who are light years above others out there. They can offer more than the surgeon in many cases.
So what you found out through your research 👀
Thor, where is the beard at buddy??? A Viking with no beard just doesn’t work
needed to shave for an acting role
How much was the stack for tricep pushdown
I am missing the beard
Do 505 raw
Go learn armwrestling Hafthor so you can beat Brian and Eddie😉
Haha he didn't cheat by loading up the full stack, only by leaning so far forward that his tricep pushed down becomes more of a dip😂😂😂
Hilmar looks like a normal man… but he is’ probably like twice my size 😂😂😂😂
English teacher? couldn't Kelsey be the english teacher? hahha, in-house english teacher
That thumbnail 😂😂😂
Great video but volume was really really low or am I tripping
Every single set doesn't make it to the video.
