Both of those variables make it more difficult to pull the weight. Based on how Thor pulled that 1006lbs, I can't see him not pulling 505KG with a normal bar while wearing gear.

It's scary how easy Thor lifts these huge weights, they look like they forgot to add weights to the bar. In 2020 Rogue record breakers when Thor failed an attempt at 501kg it came as a shock to see him fail a lift. I'm confident Thor will break 500kg in elephant bar within a year.

Liz, you are saving all of us that can't be there and what a show it is turning out to be! Loz looks so stoked!

Hafthor has always been spectacular. I am very happy that he is back in strongman

Having said that, it's good to see him happy and healthy this year!

But his 5times lifting that stone was, just awesome. That guy (just like all of them, lets be honest) deserves a strongman title for sure, he is such an animal. Seeing from where he started to where he is now, also just because his english has improven so much and his interaction with you guys and martines and romark behind the scenes was allways awesome.
