Can't see anyone pulling 505kg only person that I thought might do it was Hicksy but his last 465kg looked almost his limit ..Think each lifter should have 3 lifts and pick their own weights ...Hope I'm wrong
💯 agree. Nobody is getting 505. Thor can and will do it in 2025 if he stays healthy. He is in a league of his own…he was present back when deadlifting was at its peak in strongman
I hope Graham will get it just to shut everyone up about Thor. Thor is great, but I hate that everyone’s like “he’s the only one who can do it,” he thinks the same way he likes the competition he like to be pushed.
Definitely watching it live here in Scotland. The way Hicks was talking earlier today i think hes DEFINITELY hitting 505kg 1.Tom Stoltman 2.Mitch Hooper 2.Iron Biby Remember in 2021 Iron Biby claimed a podium at the Gaints strongman classic even though he got injured mid show and missed 2/3 events
BAHAHAHAHA You guys are the best! I love how real y’all are. The monkey on the laptop made me laugh my ass off. Love your videos, always have since day 1 and always will! Love the honest unbiased opinions where you guys aren’t afraid to say what ought to be said about things. Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
btw the guys keep saying wrecking ball hold isn't about grip, it's just about holding on. hooper said everyone just locks their fingers against their thighs and holds them there and he personally thinks it's a worthless event. this means trey mitchell's poor grip might not actually cost him anything here.
It's such a pointless event. What's the point of having a grip event that isn't really a grip event? So boring to watch, would rather have hercules hold back and I'd happily go without that too.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily Well he has already lifted more even if some people are complaining that it isn't official. But there is no doubt that he actually did lift 501. And relatively easy to. But i very much doubt he will go beyond 500 this year. But next year, for sure. Barring any injuries. Actually lifts from 500 and up, should not be allowed anymore. It is too dangerous for the lifters. It can outright kill them.
Max Deadlift - comp. = A. Andrade, Trey, Hooper Car Walk - Hooper, Bibby, Evan/Williams Dumbell Press - Hooper, Trey, Novikov Wrecking Ball Hold - Boring, Williams, Hooper Atlas Stones - Tom, Andrade, Novikov/Evan/Luke Hooper will only have to lift 1 stone to cement his win.
Last year Hicksy had a pulled hamstring, and still won, even with injury he got the 505 to his knees,I do think there should be a 480 lift then onto 505. Lucy will beat her record.
I think it depends what you mean by "to his knees." It was under the knees, it's not like it was at the knee and he just couldn't hitch it up. Imo he's still a way to go but I'll be staying up to watch the deadlift at least, would love to see it.
100% agree Lucy is going to be the only one to break the record Lucy and Thor are in a different class.. Also if Mitch concentrated on DL he could join the 500kg club
Hicks seems to be on a good trajectory for 505 but he’s gone a bit quite of late. Hopefully that doesn’t mean he’s plateaued and rather he’s at 505 level and keeping it on the down low. My prediction is 1 hooper. 2. Tom. 3 Evan; but I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrade podiumed. I’d love to to see biby put a performance in across all events.
Placing for top three 1.Hooper 2.Andrade 3.Ragg Its good to see Bibby finally competing again. I hope Oleksi comes in good shape he really has been falling off as of late. Im excited to see how Andrade places here that guy has great potential. Also no one breaks the 505, Kind of wish they would just go for max lifts and not just the record.
Biby said he was 215kg but that he had slimmed down to 'below 200' Luke Richardson laughed at him. Biby: Don't tell them! Luke: It said 199 on the scale at my gym 😂
If you are going to be picky it's Scotland for Tom and Luke then please lol I hope Hicksy does it and Iron Biby could be in there too. The whole comp will be a good one though.
Totally agree re Tom and Luke. IMO Luke is certainly not the strongman he was, age and injury catching up with him. I'd like to see him become Tom's coach, be there with him through all the training and at every show. I think that would make a significant difference to Tom. 1,Mitch, 2 Evan, 3 Tom
But if Luke knew anything about programming at the absolute top level he wouldn't need a coach himself. Maybe Luke competes still because he enjoys it and he's still a top level strongman despite not being in contention to win major titles. Perhaps he doesn't just want to help Tom all the time.
@mediaproof960 Yes as many top strongmen do. But that doesn't mean Luke has the knowledge to improve Tom to an ever higher level. At least with somebody like Loz he's got a bunch of clients winning titles and one winning just about everything. So to say Luke should just start coaching Tom without that prior top level experience is just silly.
So its Cheick Sanou the actual name. regardless hes either withdrawing just before the comp, after the first event or finishing in the bottom half of the table with a bit of luck.
Evan could be in a battle with Tom for 2nd, Tom has a alright deadlift but its not as high as Evan, the other events suit both of them pretty good, and finally Tom will come 1st for atlas stones.
Hicksy has a chance to pull 505 but it's not 90%. I'm thinking 30-40%. He hasn't posted a video in a long time, not sure if that means he's stronger or weaker.
Neither of you not putting Evan on the podium is crazy. These are some of his best events, he’ll be pushing Mitch on this one 1 - Mitch 2 - Evan 3 - Tom
How can we put him in top 3, knowing that in his last competition he got injured. We don't know how bad was the injury and will he be 100% recovered for this one. That sad hopefully your prediction is correct and he will end up in the top 3.
He was talki.g and said it was just a small tweak. Said he is fine but wanted to protect himself for the other shows this year. Hopefully he is on form.
A financial loss? And it was because of your old laptop? I thought you were going to say that you two had bet a small fortune on Graham Hicks to set a new deadlift world record.
The Female Deadlift Championships will likely be more exciting. Lucy is the only low 700s deadlifter in the world and could be attempting 727 lbs(which is also known as 330 KG). If the other athletes are lucky they might deadlift 682 lbs.
What other athletes? AFAIK, Lucy is the only female "competing". I love the irony of GL (the organization that disparages Thor's record) setting up a deadlift record attempt for a single athlete.
Also hope you guys make a video of Brian’s first arm wrestling match at King of the table here in America. I know it’s against Eddie. Still I’m so excited about the after pools because all the other best in the world will be there. Imagine we get to see Levan and Brian after pull
If Brian is very serious about armwrestling he should really consider pulling proper armwrestler, because we already saw Eddie and Brian try armwrestling with each other in good few collaborations on their youtube videos.
No one’s been able to beat Eddies OFFICIAL record. There might have been a guy who during Covid had fun in his home gym with his home gym plates. Then again, a bunch of people broken record in gyms. Only matters when you do it in competition competing against others in front of a raging crowd. Then again that’s just my opinion.
If Iron Biby can clean 505, he will press it.
😂
I love this !!!
🤣😂🤣
Lol
I mean he's pressed over 505 (in pounds)
Can't see anyone pulling 505kg only person that I thought might do it was Hicksy but his last 465kg looked almost his limit ..Think each lifter should have 3 lifts and pick their own weights ...Hope I'm wrong

@@michaelholder98 Saw him in Birmingham pull 360kg for 10 reps. This wasn't even him at top form. 😮 He looked like he had a few more
I hope Graham will get it just to shut everyone up about Thor. Thor is great, but I hate that everyone’s like “he’s the only one who can do it,” he thinks the same way he likes the competition he like to be pushed.
I hope that you wrong too 😊
Thor is the one who will beat the record
Hicks has been very focused on the deadlift for a long time. I hope he gets it done. Thanks for the great content.
We hope so too 🤞
Definitely watching it live here in Scotland.
The way Hicks was talking earlier today i think hes DEFINITELY hitting 505kg
1.Tom Stoltman
2.Mitch Hooper
2.Iron Biby
Remember in 2021 Iron Biby claimed a podium at the Gaints strongman classic even though he got injured mid show and missed 2/3 events

Thank you brother for your support 🙏💪😊
10am Australian time, excited to watch something Live for once.
Good for you brother 💪

Bring back the classic 2 car hold 😊
It's such a pointless event. What's the point of having a grip event that isn't really a grip event? So boring to watch, would rather have hercules hold back and I'd happily go without that too.
I gotta agree with Hooper though. Some people may think it 'looks cool' but it has no place in a strongman comp.
I had no idea trees could deadlift, but im here for it
I think with Hooper he's just on another level of discipline.
I wonder if he has something wrong (or right) with him. He functions at a higher capacity than everyone else. Its constant, he doesn't stop.
No one is doing a 505dl tonight. Only dude who's pulling that and more is the big Viking
Hopefully you are wrong, i really want to see Graham to take this one.
We need king Hafthor to break the record
He's still training heavy deadlift so perhaps Rogue Invitational will give him the chance?
He will, just a matter of when it suits best in terms of planning.
I am pretty sure that he will, at some point next year.
Great video lads 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I just don't see anyone but Thor breaking this record anytime soon.
And it wnt b 505,it'll b 520!🙌👊🤝💪🇬🇧🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
@@justinwynn2294 Hicks looks good for it.
@@LalasBrothers hopefully he has been downplaying his training since that 465kg. It would be great for him to do it.
I think Thor will be the first one to break Eddie’s official record

Wrecking Ball Hold - Boring, Williams, Hooper
Atlas Stones - Tom, Andrade, Novikov/Evan/Luke
Hooper will only have to lift 1 stone to cement his win.
Only Thor is big and strong enough to pull this weight
Yeah most likely.
Hopefully you are wrong 😊
I think Makarov is the favorite on the deadlift. I'm saying if both he and Hicks try 505 kg, Makarov's attempt will look better.
Last year Hicksy had a pulled hamstring, and still won, even with injury he got the 505 to his knees,I do think there should be a 480 lift then onto 505. Lucy will beat her record.

So heavy for his height 😅
I will stay up for it😂👏👏
Go for it 😁
I agree: Hooper, Tommy, Trey
💪😊
Hope they change the weight jumps. 480 would be good. Maybe allow them 3 lifts plus WR attempt
I think organisers are mostly focus is on 505kg, than whoever can get 480kg.
This is likely the last attempt. Theres no way we will be excited to watch the same guys keep trying the 505 KG next year.
Yeah if they were gonna do it, they'd have done it by now.
I agree, that's why i hope that Graham will get it.

If 2 or 3 guys break the record do they have to split the $150,000?
That would be interesting
Great question

I was talking to him on the phone last weak and all i am going to say that i never heard him more confident.
Who else can you invite?... Lucas Massquatch Hatton
True 😊
Can't wait to see Biby lift 1000lb, get confused and then overhead press it. 🤣

If its not British then its going to be French and well all have to live our life around onions and berets.

I new hicks would fail he relied on the deadlift suit to much in his training
@@strongestfan9823 seems like it.
No one has the kahones for 505 I think this year again
Hopefully Graham have the kahones.

I think he so heavy, that his weight fluctuate every couple of hours 😅
Neither of you not putting Evan on the podium is crazy. These are some of his best events, he’ll be pushing Mitch on this one

Give 505 a rest. Next year go for 400 kg max reps (unless Thor joins next year)
It looks like Thor will never ever join Giants Live again.
@@LalasBrothers Why would he? The people involved defamed his characters. They should be very happy he didn't sue them because he would've won easily.

Wow, a pre event vid😂
Thor is the only one pulling more than 470kg. No Thor at your deadlift comp makes it a clown show.
Hicksy can certainly pull more than 470 but 505 will be hard.
Graham pulled 470kg last year and he injured his hamstring 4 or 5 weeks before the competition.
Ivan is going for 505 and mich hooper will win the show 👍😎
