I have no doubt he will lift 505 if he survives that long. He weighs way to much now. He should have stayed around 190kg. No more than that. I believe he could lift 505 or even more at that weight. To go beyond 200kg bodyweight is insane.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 Thor´s been over that weight several times and usually does for the heaviest lifts and heaviest comps, is no big deal really, he never stays at 200 plus either. When chasing a 505 deadlift at that height every pound will count for him
Thor, I'm a big fan here in Brazil. Talk to Renato and come honor us with your presence....you're the greatest of all...I'd like to meet you in person one day too..a big hug
There's nothing like seeing Big Hafthor competing! His return is the best thing that happened to Strongman in 2024. 2025 will be bigger, better and stronger!
Maybe for the fans. But for him it is a disaster. Look at him. He is one step away from a massive Heart Attack. I have never seen him so unhealthy. He is bigger than he was when he lifted 501. And his skin is ashen. And it seem as if he hasn't slept for days.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 Agree. Well i guess he's not now that heavy than 2020 but back then he looked more healthier. And yes, still he looks bigger now than then. Hope he stays healthy but bit worried how body can take this kind change when fist going to 200+kg, then admirable drop to 150-160, looked so healthy and now very fast getting mass back to there 200... How body can handle this?
I can hit 330 pounds (3 plates) for 10 reps on the SSB bar (60 pound Titan bar). I love SSB for the same reason Thor does. So awesome to see Thor squat 6 plates like it's nothing. It makes his friend look weak, though the guys actually super strong, hitting 5 plates for reps SSB! I'm looking forward to hitting 4 plates on SSB, but I doubt I'll ever be able to handle 5. Merry Christmas to Mr. Thor and his family! Very inspirational to watch train and compete as I am trying to improve my deadlift!
New programme from Bas sounds really promising Hafthor. SSB Squats are looking Awesome! Predicting 2025 will be a good year for 'both' Deadlifts and Squats. Always great to see Stefan and I can still remember you two eating Spinach during the flight for 2011 WSM. So impatient to see the 440 (970) Deadlift and Merry Christmas Hafthor!!! 🎄⛄✨ --- Incase if you don't know, Durian is an aphrodisiac!
Whoever runs this channel could you buy chance mention to Thor that the prime brand plate loaded leg extension is widely regarded as one of if not the best, and because it's plate loaded he won't have to worry about a stack not being heavy enough!
dancing molly prime days in the end of the video ... roflmao ... guy must be a legend ... keep it up guys ... love this more depth in these new videos .. more REAL
That would be absolutely phenomenal! Love Friday the 13th and I also have Jason's mask and it even makes me look badass. 😂 Hafthor will make every other actor who ever played Jason look like teenagers. Need to also find the largest machate which has ever been made.
Hammer Strength makes great commercial gym machines. I believe they make leg curl and leg extension machines that use plates, so you can take the weight high
It would be interesting to know your thoughts and hear about the differences in your health etc when you were lean while boxing, what was probably your ideal weight/shape after returning to powerlifting, and now that you are bulking up as a strongman again. I am guessing boxing shape was the hardest for you and I know you need to bulk up to be the top strongman but it does appear to have health effects and I know Eddie Hall and others have commented on this as well. After undergoing one of the most extreme physical changes of any top strongman it would be interesting to hear your thoughts/experiences on this.
God Jul Hafthor! När skall du tävla i armbrytning med Eddie Hall? Har hört många talar om det och skulle göra allt för att få se en match mellan just er två.
I know you love(d) your beard, but seeing you like this instantly brings me back to when you first appeared at WSM and immediately challenged the likes of Big Z and Shaw. I hope it makes you feel younger and more powerful as it makes you look , just my opinion though ^^
Have you ever tried trap bar deadlift? I have always wondered how much some +400 kg deadlifters can pull with trap bar that has raised handles. Frame Carry/Timber Carry is basicly big trap bar. When it weighted 500 kg you picked it up like a paper and run with it.
I hate a lot of Lifefitness equipment lol. I've used their chest supported row and I can't even fully stretch out, it just stops short. And I'm not a big guy with long arms, I'm only 5'6".
@@Lee-ic2ynhis beard sponsor made him keep it tidy. It wasn't a homeless look. Keep it tidy folks, cuz this guy might not be able to grow one, hence the h8 😂😂😂
About leg extensions... try single leg it makes a huge difference as it fires the muscles in a different (better) way. It doesn't take twice as long if you do one leg then the other like dumbell curls. If you want a new machine ask Brian Shaw, he would know the best machines.
@Hafthorjulius Since you are working on speed it could be very interesting to time your yoke run and see if there is actual improvement and to compared your time with your training partner on a weight both of you can manage
Funny how Thor loves safety bar squats and Mitch says they're almost useless in strongman, yet they're both probably the two best squatters in strongman today
You look better with beard and you know it, Hafthor. Anyway, You are huge man! Can't wait to see you winning the major contests and breaking your own deadlift record. Love from Greece.❤
Look at that!,.... thats a great guy ,...what a handsom gentleman that is,.... look at it people thats an awesome human being,...he,s doing a lot of healthy things for us ,..what is his name?,... Bjornsson,.... that guy has the Wow factor ,.... pfieuuuuwww 😆
holy shit my man is bloating up, can't wait for the PRs!
Merry Christmas to your family and yourself. We're rooting for you, keep getting stronger!
Hope the 440 moved well Thor. Keep getting stronger and smash the 505! We are with you.

Looking massive. Don't lose that athleticism
Loved the Squat and yoke training!
Happy to see you excited for next year! Y'all had me laughing lol Merry Christmas!
Love the longer form videos...great content. Great work Hafthor & Hilmar!
Thor is a different species now. He looks like he could fight an engineer from prometheus movie.
No way. He is wayy too oveweight now to fight an engineer. maybe when he was in his boxing fase.
He looks like the engineer from TF2.
Merry Christmas Hafthor, always an inspiration to watch you train!
Hafbeard Bjornsson looking PR ready
It seems like he’s taking his time and getting his “baseline” deadlift up. He can probably do a raw 430 kg off-peak with ease at this point.
Brits for Hafthor! Let's go...!!
Thor, I'm a big fan here in Brazil. Talk to Renato and come honor us with your presence....you're the greatest of all...I'd like to meet you in person one day too..a big hug

In that case I feel scared for Hilma !😂

Is Sebastian Oreb not his coach anymore?

Looking bigger
What’s good there G.O.A.T!
The timing of this was ridiculous... I just got a safety squat bar today for my son and I to use!
Our true world strongest man❤
dancing molly prime days in the end of the video ... roflmao ... guy must be a legend ... keep it up guys ... love this more depth in these new videos .. more REAL
Boss level ❤ Gleðileg jól
As a few others have mentioned, I have heard that the prime leg extention is one of the best ones
Looking massive going to be some battles next year and if your pressing back to about 95% of what it was people going to no the Mountain is BACK!!💪🏼
Keep it going 👍🏻
Merry Christmas to all on Iceland
hell yeah!
Thor looking huge at bottom of safety bar squat and Hilma is hilarious
Hello!! Merry christmas for you and thank you!! 👍 Stay strong and get stronger!! 👊 Viking Power!! 🇫🇮
Y'all are not vikings. Vikings are from Scandinavia( Sweden Norway Dänemark and Iceland)
@BKool-x2g additude my friend!! And merry christmas!!
@bastardator6229 my apologies. Merry Christmas to you too my friend
If they ever do another friday the 13th Hafthor has to play Jason
That would be absolutely phenomenal! Love Friday the 13th and I also have Jason's mask and it even makes me look badass. 😂 Hafthor will make every other actor who ever played Jason look like teenagers. Need to also find the largest machate which has ever been made.
@Nirsterkur true
good suggestion,
Love these videos. I can't wait to see you compete next week. In canada, Atlantis produces good commercial gym equipement.
man wish i coulld see you in the gyms in alberta when u visit haha
I hope the 505 will be official this time
best equipment for gyms.... Gym80, Schnell and Hammer Strength
all are different in where they have their advantages, but all absolutely amazing
Merry Christmas

They keep calling the Durian “Durin” like the dwarf from Lord of the Rings lmao
Hafthor's channel is the best. Hardcore training while having fun. Road to 1M subs!

Would love to here how training with Thor affects Hilmar’s progress! Help or hurt? He is game to work hard
For commercial equipment life fitness is really good. Ive been to alot of gyms and its one i see and use most days.
I hate a lot of Lifefitness equipment lol. I've used their chest supported row and I can't even fully stretch out, it just stops short. And I'm not a big guy with long arms, I'm only 5'6".
Hammer Strenght is quite famous as a brand or the older stuff from nautilus. But its personal preference in the end.
Panatta and prime are highly recommended from what I've seen
please grow the beard back
Cutting a beard is always a mistake.
I think he has to cut it for a movie or tv role

I wanna work out with these guys. Hilarious
Awesome video guys 👍🏻🎅🏻
"Heavy, man!"
"My story is over. That's all I want to say."
Hilmar hitting all the key moments.
Duran is really good fresh from Mexico
Cybex make really good equipment as well as hammer strength. Watson for dumbbells
With thors head down on the yoke does it cut his breathing ?
Best brand for leg extension is elitefts. Custom built for your needs.
I could really use this guy moving last week...
If you want the best bodybuilding machines, id check out panatta gym equipment. Hope you’re having a good year brother.
Check out the equipment by Prime for a new leg extension
Looking pretty!
The face got so bloated that his bead doesn’t show 😂 great work you crazy dude
From where did Skuli find that Dorian?
you would like the camber bar like what they use at westside barbell
Gym80 has some nice equipment!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Strongman world's Strongman an move
Looking huge
Imagine they had safety bar squats in competition instead, I'd like it better.
Does Thor even feels the weight on his back ? It looks like RPE 5-6 which is insane
💪💪
I would say hammer strength
@Hafthorjulius Since you are working on speed it could be very interesting to time your yoke run and see if there is actual improvement and to compared your time with your training partner on a weight both of you can manage

With beard- Nice Guy, No beard- granddady
Funny how Thor loves safety bar squats and Mitch says they're almost useless in strongman, yet they're both probably the two best squatters in strongman today
I'd say Hafthor, Mitch and Lucas are the best reps squatters in Strongman today. When it comes to max, nobody is close to Hafthor.
is there a date roughly when he wants to pull 505?
You look better with beard and you know it, Hafthor. Anyway, You are huge man! Can't wait to see you winning the major contests and breaking your own deadlift record. Love from Greece.❤
He's shaving cause he's shpoting a movie
STÆRKUR STAR
Looking into Roger's Athletic
Best commercial machine manufacturer is probably PRIME fitness
THOR - some guys put the buckle at the back and get someone to lock it
Atlantis machines are killer
panatta is a very good company
I saw that bag of Durian (known as the world's stinkiest fruit) and I knew it was not going to be good.
what is your 1Rep max with The Safety bar compare to a Regular?

This video is sponsored by Durian 👍😋
Which model / brand is this Safety Squat Bar?
The day Durain went out of business.
He has the face of the guy off the movie the whale
Maybe the PLATE LOADED Leg Extension from primefitnessusa could be something for you
