Watching Tom do the stones first was crazy, but then watching Thor go out and make them look like child's toys blew my mind! One of the most insane things I’ve seen and I’m so happy that Thor is back!!!
"Watching Tom do the stones first was crazy" Yes, it was really crazy. I thought to myself, why doesn't he move his ass? What a slowpoke. Hooper then showed him how to move.
@@AtlasSiłaczdefinitely too much thinking going on but his performances are looking more positive and he seems in a better head space. Thor just gets his pressing up he'd smash everyone it's been a disappointing year Hooper dominating everything which is brilliant performances by him everyone else need to hugely improve.
@@erebus79 can't argue that and it's crazy how long he's been out and to perform like he is in his first year I mean that deadlift a great gutsy lift by Hooper shaky going red but he gave it his all a great lift and then Thor lol adding another 45 pounds and made it look easy that was a hell of a statement to Mithch especially when Hooper has called Thor out for the max deadlift and Thor did that lift like boom this is my event bitch wow
I love the emotion in Loz's voice when you did the final stone without even lapping it! The man loves the sport, knows it in and out and recognizes awesome performances
@@AtlasSiłaczTrue! I didn't thought about that but you are right. Hooper won over Tom last comp also in the stones. Tom has been troubled with his back, Big Loz said so (I don't follow the Stoltmans anymore, not after Lukes famous recorded interview were he told Giants Live did favor them in competitions, look it up if you have missed it) This is why Tom never can win outside Giants Live comps.
I have said this before and I will say it again. No other human on this planet can make 1000 look so effortless over and over again, you are the strongest human in history. Rest well and give them hell tomorrow!
It's so great seeing you compete again! Totally dominating DL and making the stones look incredibly easy after so many athletes failed. Thank you for keeping us updated and good luck for the rest of the comp!
Your strength is insane the way you one motioned them stones blew my mind 💪💪 and as for the pressing your strength is getting stronger and don't forget it's your first year back and the achievements you have done is incredible look out 2025 💪💪
I might sound a bit martial but I mean it: You fought with honor and having amazing people battle it out giving all they can is exactely what makes this sport great. To see likely the 3 best stone lifters in the world going head to head is nothing short of amazing...really great job Thor..Mitch needs you in your prime because great sportsmen always need the competition to achieve greatness..and man, what a competition you are..awesome job mate
Congrats on TWO really strong results. And massive respect for the honesty. I definetely didn’t hear any excuses - I hope you will be able to prove how much better your pressing is.
Absolutely incredible Thor. The deadlift and stone performances were a joy to watch. You absolutely mogged both, hope to say the domination of certain events continue into day two. Log didn't go to plan but just enjoy it mate, you'll get there in time.
You are on fire mate! Breaking record after record. You were already a beast at the strongest man on earth, but you are looking even stronger now. Glad you are back!
It's good that Loz keeps emphasizing that Thor is the current deadlift record holder. And that it's not Eddie Hall, like most petty fans keep claiming.
Bro when he dropped that. Lmao. I just chuckled to the fact it took so long for promoters to finally speak openly about who currently helps the Deadlift record. No hate on Loz
I could tell the injury was struggling for you during the farmers walk yesterday and yoke on todays events. Hopefully it’s gonna recover fully and not be a problem for you anymore. Wish you all the best Hafthor!
It's always a privilege to see you compete, congratulations on your performance!! I've been following your career for a few years now and I was very happy to see you in a video with Renato Cariani!! I'm coming to Brazil!!
I do not get why you all are so shocked. Those stones were about the size of the smallest Atlas Stones. He is used to lifting much larger stones. This was easy for him.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 Maybe because he stepped away from strongman, lost over 100 pounds to pursue a completely different sport, tore his pec while training for yet another sport, and returned to strongman straight after his rehab just last year?
Just that overhead pressing everything else is spot on. Crush it tomorrow Thor!! Should have gone for the world record in the DL. Lots of time to recover between events.
The Rogue Invitational format is so weird. It is so long winded. They should have the men and women compete in separate competitions. It would allow more competitors and a faster schedule.
Tom was never king of the stones. He was sitting regent until the Return Of The King. Toms the Sheriff of Nottingham. Thor is Richard the Lionheart. Dunno who Robin Hood is. Probably Singleton...
@@divicospower9112Mateusz has 2 Stone records compared to Thor's 24. Mateusz is and will always be undefeated at the tombstonet Hafthor moggs him in anything else
No 🧢 if it wasn’t for pressing events you would be dominating every show. I mean you already are. But I’m talking about first place by a landslide if it wasn’t for the pec injury… however it’s not over yet. Hopefully you win and stay injury free ❤️
So excited to watch you compete again, an amazing job at the Shaw Classic and day one was awesome today . Good luck tomorrow and hope your foot feels better. Cheering you on for a big 2nd day.
While you didn’t get the result you wanted on the carry and press I actually think you showed great improvement in your pressing! You were so close to getting that second rep which would’ve put you right up there with a lot of the other guys. If you hadn’t been rushed and out of breath and able to put your wrist wraps on in time I have no doubt that 2nd rep would’ve been locked out. 2025 I think you’ll get back to a comfortable level of pressing that won’t cost you big points and then you’ll be unstoppable💪🏼
That deadlift was insanity, was hoping you might go for the record but of course gotta conserve the energy. CRAZY stone work. The press will get there with time no doubt about it, keep going!
The overhead was unfortunate, but we knew going in that was gonna be a tough one, but man, that stone run was insane. Have to note though how impressive it was that Mitch came second despite having to lap three stones vs Toms 1 stone (even if Tom had hit the buzzer), really show one of his greatest strengths, namely his lack of downtime, he is great at simply hurrying up, at making sure he spends as little time as possible in between the movements. The pressing still needs some work obviously but it's getting there, I think if you'd had more leg drive you'd have been at least mid pack for the relay as well, you can just tell that you're having to press so much harder than some of the lighter guys who simply jump beneath the log. But with those legs of yours I totally believe you can do something similar! Go Thor!
Going last for hooper definitely gives him an advantage, knowing how much he needs to do, Tom moved slowly between stones and if he'd done after thor he might ve sped up....ultimately doesn't matter only what happens on the day matters
Yeah, hoopers run looks a lot less impressive, And to be fair, it is, 1 motioning every single stone is simply insane. But hooper was extremely impressive in a different way. His 2 motions were barely slower than the 1 motion, and his time in between stones was non existent. He played it safe picking up the stones, but gave everything to transition as quickly as possible. It is a blessing to get to watch both performances
I can't for the life of me figure out why the organisers ever thought it would be a good idea to make the athletes have to press a button IF they finished all the stones
Why not try to improve the shoulder press by taking 6 months off competition and come back in your best shape ever to leave no stone unturn? I think this could be a good strategy since it may take ATLEAST 1 full year for your shoulder press to come back if you keep competing in between!
The points scoring system in strongman competitions sucks. I think it should be closer to what we see in F1. Surely crushing the entire field in most events should make you the strongest man rather than being second best at everything.
Good luck day 2!!! Get 2 more event wins and youll be feeling preeeeetty good about yourself i think. 😊 Keep working, dude. You are THE MOUNTAIN! Youll get your pressing back.
At this point the chance of strict pressing 200kg overhead like he did in 2018-2020 is very slim for Thor . He already pressed 175kg log at Arnold UK in March and 8 months later there seems no improvement. I think Thor really needs to focus on better leg drive to get his overhead press back. Also, I am baffled by why the post-injury PRs in dumbells and incline benches presses do not translate to improvements in Log? His training lifts are clearly getting better. I really hope Thor and Team can sort this out and take the throne back from Hooper. Always Team Thor! EDIT AFTER DAY 2: Thor showed great improvement in the Overhead medley today. The fact that he kept up with Mitch until the 405 axle is really impressive
Thor improved greatly though, ohp after and injury might take years to come back, for what he has done in this year he actually is doing great, also ramping up weights like crazy will just call for another injury. He gotta be smart, slow and steady but surely his pressing will be back even if that takes another year or so. Might as well keep in mind this log was thicker than his metal log or the slater log used in the Arnold's UK, that actually gave hell to all atlethes this day cause cleaning and pressing a rather awkward (or more awkward than usual) implement is a challenge. Boomer he really needed that second rep but though
you're not factoring in strength on the day and the confidence he is clearly still lacking in pushing to the max. To say that his pressing is very unlikely to improve is a bit premature, especially when we know he is still improving his gym pr's post injury
@@antoniocenteno1483 I just think the rate of progression will be much faster if Thor learns how to use leg drive more effectively. His speed of improvement has slowed down significantly from month 1 - 11 (complete torn pec in Apr 2023 -> lifting 184kg axle and 175 log in Mar 2024) than from month 12-19 (max log staying at 170-180kg). But yes, I agree that staying healthy is the most important. I guess I am just too eager to see Thor beating Mitch. After all, if it takes 2 more years for Thor to get his pressing back, that's losing 6 more competitions to Mitch.

Wasn't a world record. Trey did them in under 24s in 2022.

Well done Thor. Your brilliance and strength is matched by your humility and kindness. Wishing you all the best for day 2.

No question about it. Even Hooper is now faster than Tom with the stones.

Agree. I watched it right after and fastforward most of it. Even though I watched both strongman and Crossfit I could fastforward 70% of it.
This format gives athletes more time to rest wich is a good thing. Better perf than 1 day comps
Short beard makes you look a lot younger and also makes me remember your early days.
