Dear son Hafthor Julius, I drove 914 miles from Sioux Falls, SD with my two grandsons to watch you deadlift 1000 and despite requiring only 966 to win, you delivered us what we came for! God bless you my son, and congratulations!

Thor has a strong clean and I think he may be able to press 182 kg for two reps. So he may not loose to many points on Axel. Perhaps two of the other will press 3 reps or more

His grip is finally strong enough. Grip strength takes longer to build and he was not doing grip training as well when he won his first Arnold. Grip is the main thing on that frame carry - you stop the swinging then you can walk in up - if it swings you cannot walk it. The weight itself is not so bad - if it was a yolk they would have no problem even though it is uphill.

Good morning. Please, please, PLEASE go to Shaw Classic and lift 505 kg or 510 kg in the conventional bar deadlift - make all the doubters and haters shut the F... up! Get that mind blowing lift, your fans truely believe YOU can do along with the recognition as THE strongest deadlifter EVER! For now, go do your thing. Stay safe!

@@-robster-robster- you are so right and people tend to forget that there is many parts to winning this, if Thor wants to lift heavy, he should attend to those competions. Oh right, he did.

Seeing you competing and performing like 'that', 'live' was absolutely surreal, Hafthor! It was nostalgic! Massive and heartiest congratulations on your *15th One Thousand Pound Deadlift!* (yes that's not a typo), nobody else has achieved such an outrageous number with the monumental four digits. A lot of people dream to hit that number as a lifetime goal, and only 27 or something from the entire planet has achieved it. You have done it 15 times! You also made many so called analysts, keyboard heroes and prediction gurus eat a humble pie and do a reality check on on your grip which is absolutely world class with that *phenomenal Timber carry (4th fastest time ever)!* My favourite moment was when you said I love you guys to your beloved wife and children, after winning the Deadlift! ❤ What a fantastic day 1. Lets do you best during day 2 as well. No matter what result you will achieve today, the love and support of us will never diminish. Look how much the fans love you... *Koma Svo, the Strongest Man to have ever lived!* --- _With refer to the 505 this year, I would have not believed if any of the 8.1 billion on earth (other than you) if they said it's possible. But for you nothing is impossible. If your body is recovered around year end, by all means and I say it as Icelandic as possible to the best of my ability: KOMA SVO!! Go for it Hafthor!!_

I think Hooper is a great athlete but I really don't like his attitude because real champion shouldn't behave like a child.

So happy seeing you back in Strongman 💪💪💪 I stopped watching your videos when you were boxing because I wasn't interesed in that kind of action and training. Now i cant wait to click on your videos as soon as they upload 💪💪💪

Congratulations on the return to Strongman, Thor! It was awesome getting to meet you and get your signature on my Thor shirt, to be able to shake your father's hand and meet him, and to be able to meet Coach Bas and shake his hand as well. I am so ecstatic that I was able to be there to see your return in person, and I cannot wait to see you up on the podium again very soon. We are all proud of you and we cannot wait to see you back at 100% again.

Your pulling looks amazing! What I love about you and your team is that you are very smart about incorporating new techniques etc. You demonstrated that with your training for the fight. Also whatever you did for frame prep worked! Your frame was a huge surprise! What a great improvement! As your pressing comes back, incorporating the split leg for the overhead or the side step for dumbell i.e Novakov would be amazing! Hooper, Licis, and Novakov get so much mileage out of that. Great show, Hafthor! Be positive, you've done great on your long road back

Can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds for you!!🎉🎉🎉 Blessings to you and your family! ❤

Congratulations for this event and most of all for your discipline.Some people talk too much (you know). Besides your performance I admire the person I see. Thanks for sharing

Love from Ireland! congrats

So cool seeing you overcome everything life has thrown at ypu this past year and come out stronger than ever. Ypu are an inspiration to those of us who have dealt with similar tragedies. Thank you for being open about the journey, and showing how to stay strong and overcome for yourself and your family

This was my first strongman competition ever and was awesome to see how well you did! Hoping to see you at Shaw

Amazing video Thor! Amazing!

Keep the hard work mate🙏🏻

Outfreakingstanding gentlemen! Great job 👏

Good lad Hafthor....Good to see you back..absolute beast!!!!!

Great first day! The Mountain is back!

It’s fantastic to see you compete again you are a credit to your family and strongman.

You are a remarkable human. Just train smart and don't get injured, we'll be rooting for you!!

This was something to see :D Keep it up :)

it was prty fkn crazy how ez it was you used alot of your back also n it stayed straight very cool to watch your mobility is what stands out to me lookin in good shape seem in good health

I get choked up watching him compete. Soo psyched getting to see him perform again

Great performance for your 1st competition back. The sport needed you back.

That hallway manifestation was awesome! I do this all the time thinking about a massive deadlift

Looking very locked in after day one, brother! LFG!

Partly due to inspiration from watching your comeback I decided try pr my best deadlift variation (behind the back deadlift) granted I’m only aiming for 350kg which is lightweight for you but you’ve inspired me by doing impossible things and now I’m close to my goal.

The legend! So awesome!

Epic comeback. All the best for day 2

Thor is a unit you got this comp in the bag and look out every other comp you go to and I hope you do attempt 505 when you are ready 💪💪

I think he has the privilege to not go on these events because of the money anymore. He can simply do what he wants to do and has nothing to prove

4th was incredible, considering there was the axle, and the stone event was predicated in getting past the press, after the pec injury ten months ago. On to the Arnold UK.

Stones today King! LFG!

Insane power just not hurt our self big boy.💪💪🥰

I'm glad your there. You look grate. STAY SAFE PLEASE

Sorry about the Arnolds day 2 Thor. Great deadlift and frame carry! Pretty good job on Dinnies, that looked painful. What happened on the stone?

Great job Thor!

Dude, you got it, would be great to see Martins and Novikov on the podium with you 👍

Congrats champ! It is matter of time...

increíble el cambio físico que hizo, hace 1 año atrás jamás esperaba volver a verlo en strongman, y ahora esta más fuerte que nunca!! alucinante cambio fisico.

Amazing how you actually went for the 1000+ while you didn't have to. Great to have you back.

Halfthor Bjorn give us a throw back 😁🔥🤘

Thor man when I watched your 2018 dead lift record that’s what got me into strongman you delivered bro nobody’s even in your league it’s hilarious keep it up brother take your time you have a lot of it to break the world record dead lift record. There’s no doubt you can do it you’re the man for being smart and playing it safe.

France hopes you win hafthor,!

Thor should go for 504kg to start...1111lbs is such a marketable number, and shoot for a November 11 lift date...1111 on 11/11! Then he should go bigger until he can't go anymore. Maximize that paycheck Thor!!!

Agree, I see it being between Mitch and Hafthor. Hafthor on comp days is a different beast. My only hope is regardless of Hafthors final placement, that he walks away from the comp with a fire in his heart to do more and with little to no injuries ❤️ Much love and respect from Sweden

best of luck too you

Great showing Thor! It was excruciatingly painful for me to see you struggle with that first stone on the final event, especially recalling how easy you pressed that stone during your last Arnold title. Did your torn pec have anything to do with your failure to lift that stone overhead and do you think you can achieve your previous pressing strength?

Hey Thor, no shade being thrown here at all, huge fan but if you do intend to get that 505kg deadlift, do it in a competition so you can get the recognition you deserve after last time.
