@@psychosis345 it depends, if its just the tendon that let go no problem. I tore the muscle in half and the surgeon could not repair it. This however looked like the tendon was the part to go.
Even with the injured arm you still signed belts for the fans and took part in their celebrations. This is why you are the Greatest! You will be back and that is 100% certain.
Learning lesson for his coach too. They didn’t think of the time for tissue adaptation to imposed demands. They were progressing too quickly and Hafthors neural drive allowed him to perform incredible strength feats, versus the typical aches and pains of his body being the limiting factor.
@Jim Bob steroids done make your muscles tear any easier lol ..nothing like that at all..he is a monster with ir without actually man ..Thor si true specimen that puts his time in..muscle is muscle in him..he builds it with works..sure there is roids..but he is super fit and works out nonstop aswell ..
7:02:07 Hahaha I like how intense the little girl and how much she's getting into it. This is such a great event and bonding of a community. Thor really has a chance to lift up and bring his country together.
Congratulations to all competitor's, helper's for a great event. The frost giant may be injured but the man is a champion and the Viking will rise again A swift and healthy recovery from the millions of you're follower's and fans Thor.
Man. That wide grip.. Hopefully only minor though. I had a minor tear in 2013 but when I did flat bench again I eventually beat my old or by about 10 kg a year after coming back.
doesn't look minor i saw a video from different angle and u see the tendon pop off from the bone . thats gonna be a surgery and looooong recovery . such a shame
So he gets his first major injury AFTER taking a long break from heavy lifting? Why is everybody getting injured AFTER taking long breaks? Even I got my first injury like this. Wtf... Hopefully, he can get through this and still gun for the world record in powerlifting and move on to strongman. Always hate to see people's goals and dreams getting shattered due to injuries.
This sucks. Hopefully he will share how he gets back on his feat again. Thousands of us have suffered from injuries like this and I'm sure thor will come back even stronger
I don't feel any satisfaction that I was in the small minority sceptical of Hafthor goals. What is happening now is kind of 'base scenario' to me. Hafthor is attempting something unheard of before; I don't think there was an elite strength athlete before who 'retired' for 2 years, dropped 1/4 of his bodyweigth, and attempted to come back and beat some more records. His goals were super ambitious (not a 'walk in the park' as many of his fans assumed) and now his journey will be even more fascinating to watch.
@@BKGclan4LIFE hopefully it wasn’t too bad and isn’t a full tear. I don’t think he gave himself enough time with getting back in gear to let everything grow and heal properly before jumping into this weight. Hoping it’s a speedy recovery
You guys see that it might not be a full tear. The trainer said looks like he is ok. It could be a low grade chest tear. He was smart stopping when he did. Edited. I was seeing a different camera angle. Seeing the doctor edited yes a tear . Sorry I was only seeing the left side of that left
@@Victardoo there is a video from a different angle where you can see the pec look like it unravels so something definitely tore, either muscle or tendon.
Hope you can fully and safely recover brotha! Maybe some gh and bp157 to add some extra strength recovery. Either way, will be rooting for you and looking forward to seeing you back better than ever 💪👍👑
This is why I think the rules for bench should be relaxed more. Powerlifting is all about explosivity and strength, something that a meet level bench press doesn't really reflect honestly compared to a squat or deadlift. Going so slowly on the way down, pausing there for so long, puts so much unnecessary pressure. A faster bench that, I'd go as far as to say, even uses elastic force from a small bounce seems way more natural to me and takes advantes of all of the body's mechanisms in that area. And it would honestly make it more interesting to watch which can bring in more attention and viewership for the sport.
would make zero difference IMO. Weights would be obviously automatically bigger if no pause required and bounce allowed. It's just the type of injuries would probably be somewhat different. But there is nothing dangerous inherently about the obligation to perform the move in controlled paused manner. It's other factors that play a huge part in getting injured and we all know what these 'factors' are.
Weird injury! Same form as previous attempts. Looked good going into attempt 3 and boom life comes at you fast. The only explanation could be he’s doing everything too quickly and not allowing his tendons to get used to the weight. Cycling and gaining weight very quickly and continuing to increase the weight at such a rapid tempo like he is still in his 2018 prime. I think when he comes back he should not think about competing straight away but more so just practicing the big 3, increase the weight and his body weight slower.
Can’t believe some of these people with crazy arches are proud of themselves. When you’ve got half the travel distance are you really even performing the lift? Rhetorical question. The answer is no.
If it’s off the bone, it’ll be very hard to come back from this. I partially tore my pec and have never mentally been able to go back to the same weight in fear of re-tearing. I couldn’t even watch it. Hope for a speedy recovery
the amount of people in the live chat comments saying he faked it or that Eddie Hall is happy is just so sad. The people who saying that have probably never lifted a weight in their lives.
Damn that sucks. Not sure i understand why he would've done this meet at this point. I thought he was going to focus on getting more of the strength back do one practice meet than break the record end of year. Speedy recovery Haf.
Apparently he was planning to go do another meet after this than break the record in a third meet end of the year. Going for heavy comp PRs shouldn't be done this regularly in only a years time imo. Too taxing on the body. Leads to injuries.
@@mitchellmcrae4538 ah I thought this was his only meet before the big one. Hopefully he heals well because atleast to me it didn’t look as bad as other tears I saw I didn’t really see anything unravel
There's another video showing it from a different angle. It unravels. Its bad. I give it at least a year if everything goes well to even be able to get back to a 240kg bench.
A very sad day to all of us, but Hafthor will be back. Recovered and Stronger!
Congratulations to all and it was a great competition.
nope he will not, Not after such injury and juice used

Yep even on gear tendon, cartilage, etc doesn't (re-)adapt as fast as the muscles. Hope he takes enough time to heal and prevent further injury.
That’s what happens when you use anabolic steroids.

A speedy recovery Thor!
We are always with you Hafthor, a speedy and complete recovery ahead. 💪🏻❤️
You are right brother the Viking may be injured but he will rise again, the mark of a true champion.

You're one of my heroes, Thor. I have no doubt you will come back stronger than ever.

Speedy recovery Thor!!! Just let this be a lesson to everyone and take your time!! He rushed into this way to fast hopefully comes back stronger 🙏🏻
Speedy Recovery King, you will be back.
Good Recovery stay Strong Thor💪🏻❣
God bless you and wish you the best and a real quick recovery 🙏🏼💪🏻

Consistency is what’s keep you in shape, that’s why you don’t go heavy after long breaks
He has been gaining and ramping up weight quickly. The body ain't used to it.
Tendons get stronger much much slower than muscles, even with all the PEDs. That's why
because strengt u had before u gain back so much faster then the first time . But the tendons don't have time to adapt and then shit like this happens
You got this stay focused on recovery and don’t weaken
This sucks. Hopefully he will share how he gets back on his feat again. Thousands of us have suffered from injuries like this and I'm sure thor will come back even stronger
Best wishes to a full healthy recovery!

Get Well Thor
Wish you a speedy recovery fighter💪
i wish you a quick recovery, maybe you got too strong too fast, but your team and yourself would know better than me what to do, good luck.
Lets get to Dr Ritsch in Germany and you will be fine!

takes a special kind of retard to kick someone when they're down. PEDs are fine if you're a responsible adult who accepts the risks.

Tricep tear?
pectoral muscle (side chest) tear, it's all visible perfectly well on slo-mo. But I don't recommend watching :)
