People saying in comments that Thor is the favourite, do you guys follow the sport? You realise Hixxy is attempting the record first at Giants live? A show that Thor has refused to participate in for personal/past issues I think Hixxy will pull 505 and Hafthor will break that record. Hixxy won't mind if Thor breaks it, because records will be broken and nobody can ever take away the fact he will at one time in his life be the strongest in history. It doesn’t matter if he holds it for 2 weeks, or 2 years. Being the 3rd guy in history to pull half a ton and be the smalllest/lightest in history is an extreme achievement. I hope he does it
I dont care if thor does or does not pull it. Id like to see Hicksy pull it purely because of how hard he is training for it and it alone. He deserves some reward for it at the end
@ Hicksy: The pulling line was on point and straight up - even at the 3rd rep with 420 kg you did not lost the ideal pulling line. Great improvement. You are on track.
That was amazing it reminded me when kaz lifted the bull blood on the cart growing going to dark places in the mind to fire up the unnatural strength you will pull 505 best wishes. Dave chubb
Amazing! I have not been commenting recently, but I’ve been watching your videos religiously. I’ve been overwhelmed at work, my training has not been going so well and my wife has asked for a divorce. Watching your videos has kept me afloat. Thank you!
Bro pick your priorities. Make your decision with your hand firm on the rudder bro. Don’t get steered, makes sure your doing what you want to do. If the old girl ain’t supporting you give her the flick mate and wipe your brow.
Just pulled 345lbs at 165lbs body weight, super super stoked about it and wanted to chime in how much of an inspiration you are! Keep it up can’t wait to see you break the record! Hoping to pull 405 in the next few weeks!
The only max deadlift Thor has lined up is at SMOE. No suit and he is there to perform for the whole comp if he can. It is very unlikely that he will need to go that high. Maybe 460-475kg probably on the lower end will be as high as it goes at SMOE. Plenty of 1000lb lifters at SMOE but all done in suits so I can't see it going to far beyond 1000lb. While Hicks is only there to do the deadlift in a suit at what is a world record event primarily and comp second. @@warrenchu5752
Its wild to see how big Eddie and thor were in comparison and yet this dude is ripping the same weight of the ground as they were and just as comfortable as they were in their preps for 500
for me anyway, it added 30kg to my max. without a suit I hit 280kg, might have had a bit more in me though tbh. it wasn't too difficult. with the suit I hit 310kg as my max. so just over 10% I would say a suit can add in my experience
The suit is such a strange piece of kit. My best conventional pull was about 680 pounds with an old school Titan suit in my 30s. at the time it was the best suit allegedly. The suit only gave me about 25 pounds. I knew some people that their suit gave them in excess of 60 pounds. No clue.
Looked like graham easily gets 5 reps and we got till September, right now id say he could do 465 470 kilos still 2 and a half mths left ix say 485 thor 500
I'm 95% Shure Thor will pull over 500 again and make it look easy. 5 % ok gram he could do it but he's alot smaller man and in deep deep waters it would be huge pb far far beyond what he has pulled before
My gym is in a shipping container lol. Jealous watching you lift. If you keep progressing... I think you can do 480*3 before the event and then a good chance at 505*1. Keep sleeping, resting and eating. But you already know better than me lol
Area 51 fitness, where aliens shit in their pants, in horror watching the weights with which people exercise ! Next target is 502 kilograms dead lift ! 🦍
That was not a triple - That was Hicksy DRIBBLING the bar two times! Jeeeezus what power there, keep going but please please listen to your body if an injury is about to come - Then get it worked on by pros ASAP.
Hicksy and Thor are neck and neck to break the record
I want to see how his RAW lifst are. But yes they are close.
People saying in comments that Thor is the favourite, do you guys follow the sport?

Well said
I hope he gets there, but I still think he falls short
I dont care if thor does or does not pull it. Id like to see Hicksy pull it purely because of how hard he is training for it and it alone. He deserves some reward for it at the end
More than follow if Thor went to Vegas it would be a good show but I guess Thor never lifted 501 before
I seen Thor pull 454kg like a speed rep at asc 10 feet in front of me
History in the making
Hicks is awesome at every static event
That was sick. When he ripped it up on the 3rd rep and said "all day", he meant that ol son
Throwing in my full support for your goal to be the new deadlift king!
Been trying to implement your Deadlift style in my lifting. Thor endorsed your a Mighty Man !!❤
Insane speed off The floor on all three of those reps, my favourite right now to hit The 505, hopefully it goes your way😃
He's using a suit, clown.
Thanks!
Looking amazing mate, constant steady progress - hope you smash it 👍
louis cyr of canada is still the strongest freak in the past 130 years overall.
Unreal strength Hicksie!
Taking that rest and deloading makes a lot of sense. Maybe try some protective shin covers?
Wow love seeing everyone working hard reminds of my younger years
Wow! This is insane! What an incredible deadlifter! 🏋️💪
Super smooth, well done!
I can’t wait until Vegas. I will be there to see you do it Hicks. The greatest deadlifter in history!!!
What kind of straps do you use. Thanks
I give that set a SAVAGE/10
I'm excited to see what you can pull in Vegas on Sept 28! I'll be there front row! Go Hixxy!
Beast mode activated 😳 your in some shape Hixxy 💪
@ Hicksy: The pulling line was on point and straight up - even at the 3rd rep with 420 kg you did not lost the ideal pulling line. Great improvement. You are on track.
Brilliant work🏴

Upping the ante! 👊🏻
Its similar to being stronger than a 5 year old. These guys are amazing. It did look like it was hust over 300kg. Keep staying healthy Hixxy.
Absolutely brilliant hicksy 👌
HICKSY = POWERHOUSE ! in Vegas the record will be YOURS Graham ;-)
Impressive ....just friggin impressive. You got this Graham.
Loving the build up, it’s gonna happen you’re looking awesome 👍
I feel like Hicks can hit 1000 lb for a triple this year
Looked like he had 5 or 6 at 420. Insane numbers already.
They moved super easy, lets go!
The only strongman with the genetics to have a legit bodybuilding career if he wanted
He could just diet and compete.. he really doesn’t look like a silverback gorilla. And I mean that in the most respectful way.

Sorry to hear that news. Life knocks us on our ass but you don't got to stay there.....

Thank you brother
"I don't want to empty the tank"
[Hits 420 kg x 3]
[He still, in fact, did not empty the tank]
Best comment so far
For us mortals
He could have done 5 reps
505 for 2 reps Vegas!!!💪🏼
That looked amazing! All you have to do is stay healthy and play it smart. Put polysporin on your cuts, it will heal way faster and no get infected.
Go Hicksy! I am sure you will smash it!
Awesome mate
Insane power, great reps 👏💪👏
It will be interesting to if see Rauno and Graham pull 505 kg in Vegas followed by Thor pulling 520kg at Rogue in Scotland.
Just pulled 345lbs at 165lbs body weight, super super stoked about it and wanted to chime in how much of an inspiration you are! Keep it up can’t wait to see you break the record! Hoping to pull 405 in the next few weeks!
Congrats on that pull.
There ya go!
21:30 setup
21:58 speed rep
28sec is a long time......
Stay healthy and go get the 505 !
Would you consider selling deadlift programs?
Great fun, it’s going good so far!
What would you like to see in the remaining sessions
1000 trip or a double with a rep in the tank
Holy smokes he might actually do it this year.
You are a very strong lad.
Imagine Graham vs Thor both getting over 505kg and competing for the new record 😦🔥.
Graham won't be close.
I think it’s on the way brother !
The problem as described by those who've lifted it is, 500+kg feels like being crushed to the floor and having your shoulders ripped off
All I want to see in the sport of Strongman right now is for Hicks to pull 505kg !
WTF, third rep went as fast as the first! No doubt the favorite to get the 505kg!
Isnt thor the fave?
@@warrenchu5752 probably to most but my money is on Hicks.
I love hicksy. especially as a fellow brit. but you've got to admit thor is the favourite
Looks like he could have done 5 !!!
The only max deadlift Thor has lined up is at SMOE. No suit and he is there to perform for the whole comp if he can. It is very unlikely that he will need to go that high. Maybe 460-475kg probably on the lower end will be as high as it goes at SMOE. Plenty of 1000lb lifters at SMOE but all done in suits so I can't see it going to far beyond 1000lb. While Hicks is only there to do the deadlift in a suit at what is a world record event primarily and comp second. @@warrenchu5752
Mister Hicks, the human SilVERBACK🦍🦍🦍🦍
you are the strongest in the world!!! but not the fastest like Hoper
Hes amazing
@TheHixxy1985 yes he is but so are you remember that
Legend
Record for blood. Oh gosh😮😮
That was very, very smooooooooooth
I remember hicksy at a England's strongest man qualifier many many years ago. The comp deadlift was 250kg for reps. Think he won it that day lol.
Espetacular.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Which straps will be allowed in the competition?Do you have to put the thumb around the bar?
Nice! Looking great!
Huge ! Thor did 2 à 410 without suit. What is the more impressive?
Both
I agree
Absolute beast mate💪😉👍
What is the little tab at the upper back for on the back of the deadlift suit?
All day!!!
That looked waaaaaay too easy 🤯
Go get it hicksy 👊🏻💪🏻
You're gonna lift that 505 kg I just know it.
Visualise, Believe and find the monster within.
You got this dude.
Looked to easy for you! When are you gonna start struggling 💪 thanks for the autograph, keep grafting you Savage!
Confounding
Its wild to see how big Eddie and thor were in comparison and yet this dude is ripping the same weight of the ground as they were and just as comfortable as they were in their preps for 500
Eddie did 400 for 5 as his last heavy rep set weeks before the 500 and think it's his best on 400. Good spot alright
Bro. You definitely have 500+
Jeez. Those flew. For the first time I’m thinking you could actually take 505 down.
It's defo coming....
That nipple popping out were like 90's uk gladiators 😅
Fml I had to fast fwd it
😂😂😂
Ive never used a suit so can you tell me how much it helps?
I used a suit once, it helpt me of the floor
for me anyway, it added 30kg to my max.
without a suit I hit 280kg, might have had a bit more in me though tbh. it wasn't too difficult.
with the suit I hit 310kg as my max.
so just over 10% I would say a suit can add in my experience
The suit is such a strange piece of kit. My best conventional pull was about 680 pounds with an old school Titan suit in my 30s. at the time it was the best suit allegedly. The suit only gave me about 25 pounds. I knew some people that their suit gave them in excess of 60 pounds. No clue.
Casual RPE 6 with 420kg
Im pretty sure you are the strongest deadlifter in the world right now
Hafthor Bjornsson is stronger.
Captain obvious over here... What gave that away?
@@viktore69we will see, i hope Graham will pull 505 not thor
@@viktore69 Not at this moment😊
@@Klepzeiker1984 LOL😂
bro he has a suit
Imagine dropping that weight on your barefoot 😱
420kg I jus wanna do a few reps with it 😂😂😂
not bad at all! Peaking is going well I guess
Fucking insane 🔥💪🏻🔥
Looked like graham easily gets 5 reps and we got till September, right now id say he could do 465 470 kilos still 2 and a half mths left ix say 485 thor 500
Needs 40 kilos I n 2 and a half mths he's obviously got 5 6 reps at 420 so twelve weeks 3 kilos a week graham should do it
I can prob pull 500 now tbh
I'm 95% Shure Thor will pull over 500 again and make it look easy. 5 % ok gram he could do it but he's alot smaller man and in deep deep waters it would be huge pb far far beyond what he has pulled before
Strooooong
Way too easy !
damn easy
My gym is in a shipping container lol. Jealous watching you lift.
If you keep progressing... I think you can do 480*3 before the event and then a good chance at 505*1.
Keep sleeping, resting and eating. But you already know better than me lol
Area 51 fitness, where aliens shit in their pants, in horror watching the weights with which people exercise ! Next target is 502 kilograms dead lift ! 🦍
But Thor doesn't wear a suit at 900???
Hes thor
430 x 3 next week?
Yes I think so
That's the fastest set of 420kg in the world
Only person I’ve seen do 420 that fast is Eddie/Thor the day they pulled 500
💪💪💪
It is evil having put 420 down to then have to go again twice
i think his reps are almost touch and go. its deffiently not a complete reset between reps
Lol
@@TheHixxy1985 great response, won't get 500+ with that attitude
Lol lol
That was not a triple - That was Hicksy DRIBBLING the bar two times!
Jeeeezus what power there, keep going but please please listen to your body if an injury is about to come - Then get it worked on by pros ASAP.
That deadlift record is not safe 👀
All fucking day
Its easier to pull with that kind of ‘straps’…😂😂😂
Light that. Do 5
