@@alexfrye6 we went with the strongmen’s ‘top lifts’ on the day rather than their lifts warming up to something bigger. When we included the warm ups in ‘the draft list’ there was a lot less variety in numbers/athletes/competitions. It was a bit samey. One lift we did accidentally miss was Jerry’s 467kg at the rogue record breakers in 2017.

It’s not about gatekeeping, it’s about doing the lift fairly. All others records have been done in competitions where athletes have time limits, progressions, etc… Most athletes have PRs during training but those lifts are not eligible for records. Thor’s lift although incredible is more like a training PR than a competition record.

Hafthor in his prime looked like a goddamn grizzly with a human head. 6ft9, 450lbs. On the one hand I'm sad that he's so small only a couple years later. On the other hand I understand, that there is no way he could maintain that size without serious health effects.

People forget that prior to hamstring injuries, Brian was in the 1000+ mix with Eddie and Thor. Up until 5 or 6 years ago, there were only a handful of strongmen in the 1000 pound club

Thor has the heaviest but Eddie has the craziest. The record was 465kg when he did it, and that was the record he set earlier that damn day. It would be like if Thor had pulled 536 after the 501. It was such an insane leap forward people didn't think it was humanly possible.

@Arrogan28

5 ай бұрын

And not only that but Eddie stood there after the lift holding that weight while he looked side to side before putting it down. No doubt Thor made the lift look easier years later, but what Eddie did that night was such and inspiration for the sport and many people who had never even followed the sport all heard and watched the night Eddie shocked the world with a lift like 80lbs heavier than the previous record. Which is why it stood so long and still to this day hasn’t been topped in actual competition. Thor’s as we all know was judged by his family and we all saw the fastest ok signal i have ever seen by a judge, though i believe Thor did the lift clean. However it is one thing to do it at home in your own gym, another completely to do it in the middle of competition where you have to time your adrenaline pump and yet you have no idea when you are going to go, how long the guys before you will take, how long setups will take. Timing that adrenaline rise so you don’t blow it early and get a huge adrenaline dump just as you go to lift is far harder. So while i give Thor the lift, it’s not the same as Eddie’s lift in the middle of competition, Eddie deserves the acolades he gets, and i am a thor fan. But i still give the nod to Eddie still. When someone beats his lift in competition then i will give it to them. I realize Thor had to do it in the middle of covid so again i give him the lift. But that doesn’t mean i put it above Eddie’s accomplishment. When someone pulls 501 or 505kg in compeition they will take that crown as far as i am concerned. Just like they did for several years going up by 1kg or 5kg before Eddie did the 30kg jump.

Until that legendary Giants Live show in 2011 where the record was broken 9 times (?), nobody had ever lifted more than 410. This is why the deadlift is my favourite event, it’s the ultimate token of progression in the sport. 505 is coming soon, especially since Gerrit Badenhorst’s 410 from 1996 stood for 12 years.

Lol love how you address eddie breaking the world record by 1kg after he raised a stink about 501kg

I know this is a controversial topic, and I've gone back and forth on this in my head, but I think I've finally figured out my stance on it. To me, Rauno is the strongman deadlift world record holder. I know I'm not the grand authority on anything, but my reasoning is simple. What is strongman? I define it as a multi-event competition to determine who is the strongest man. As an avid watcher, I cannot disconnect strongman from the competition. Doing a farmers walk in a gym isn't strongman. Any lift done outside of a strongman contest is just that. A log press isn't strongman, it's a lift. A yoke walk isn't strongman, it's an exercise. The competition itself is what makes strongman what it is. So just because someone deadlifts with straps and hitching, it's not a strongman deadlift unless it's part of a strongman competition. And if the competition is only one event, you can't consider that strongman either since the entire point of modern strongman is to test multiple areas of strength to determine the strongest man. The deadlift world championships isn't a strongman competition, it's a deadlift contest. Without discounting their monumental achievements, respectfully, Eddie's 500 and Thor's 501 deadlifts shouldn't be considered strongman records. If we say feats of strength done outside of strongman competitions can be strongman records, I think we've lost sight of what strongman is. Records are not the most important part of strongman, in my opinion, but they do mean something. Allowing strongman-style lifts done outside the confines of a strongman competition to count as strongman records takes away from in-contest achievements. It's not to discredit Eddie or Thor, but their lifts should be in a separate category. When Loz broke the Dinnie stone record, he didn't break a strongman record, he broke the Dinnie stone record. The same should apply to Thor and Eddie. Strongman records should only include lifts done in strongman competitions, and strongman competitions cannot be just one event. Therefore Rauno is the strongman deadlift world record holder.

@thorthewolf8801

Жыл бұрын

I agree and disagree. Order of events, and how much effort an athlete gives vary. A first event record (like the deadlift championships) will be much different than a record in the fourth event, since you will probably be fatigued by that point (if you dont half ass it). Whats the point of differentiating between these things when we cant measure the difference? Eddie pulled out after the deadlift event (had to be carried away even, so he wasnt phisically capable of even half assing the rest of the competition). Thor on the other hand looked good to do a few other events (but obviously it wasnt a multi event comp). So my point is, on the one hand, you have an athlete that did a record and then didnt really perform in comp, and on the other, an athlete that did a record and then didnt perform in comp.

Knees were locked and hips were visible, and all the way through. Those soft knees and baggy shirt on Eddie always bothered me. Eddie's was impressive, but I'm not convinced he was fully locked out, at all

I'm most impressed by Rauno's 476kg ! He was 40 years old, and weighed probably 100 lbs. less than most of the guys on the list, especially Eddie and Thor when they did their biggest lifts. So Rauno has the 3rd heaviest lift in history, and he went on to do the entire competition and came in 6th place! His self-admitted weakness was his grip strength with the farmer's walk, but had he completed it in under 50 seconds, and then held his front hold for just 5 seconds longer, RAUNO would have been on the podium! And the very next day, instead of relaxing, he walked all around London all day with Liz and Loz!!!!!! AT AGE 40!!!! 12 hours after doing a full strongman show! Simply incredible!

What was wrong with thors lift at 501kgs, it looked like he could have done quite a bit more to me.

It's just impressiv how eddie and thor lifted there pr 👍👍

Eddie's 500kg lift is the most hardcore thing, just staring at the crowd nodding with blood coming out his nose. The Beast.

Any lifting you see here that wasn't performed within IPF rules (in a 3-lift sanctioned contest with international referees using the IPF rule book, including no wrist straps, a weighed and measured 20 kg power bar, weighed plates and bar locks, the lifter's continuous pull of the barbell (without hitching or stopping from start to finish) to a locked standing position with deltoids fully thrust back, no applied accelerants (oil, e.g.) on lifter's thighs, and other technical requirements), did not involve a "dead lift" under the IPF world record definition. Anyone who challenges this assertion is a revisionist who tolerates cheating and con artistry. The same holds true for "world records" claimed on the bench press and squat. Those of us who accomplished our best lifts under the rules of powerlifting (IPF and former USPF) put our bodies at severe risk to do so, and have little or no respect for this "strongman" bullshit that passes for powerlifts so show promoters can keep having drugged mutants "break the world record" in events that are not legitimate powerlifting contests. Powerlifting was once close to being included as a sport in the Olympic Games until the existence of a criminal element was revealed in the USPF and IPF, in or about 1980, after which the U.S. television media withdrew its coverage of the sport, after which it again degenerated into "strongman" events, which reek of the circus "side shows" where public exhibitions of physical strength began.

how much could Thor have lifted if he was willing to nearly die like Eddie was... 530? He made 501 look easy

And then a cleaner came and said...excuse me can I clean here and lifted it in one hand

2014 and Benni was moving a weight so ridiculous, it's been almost a decade. I hope Thor comes back, now he has lifted 300 kg for a triplet.

Would be interested to see top 20 log lifts as of 5 years ago. 1-20: Zydrunas ;)

This was awesome!!! Thor is king

Neither have been paid yet due to the ongoing lawsuit by Coresports on Segi. That’s why neither have given money to charity, the simply do not have it. Thor spoke about it on twitch recently

The lightest deadlift on this list is 460kg and Nedzmins comp pr is 455kg.

Nice bideo

Enjoyed the video - I would have liked to seen which was most impressive as opposed to just weight. You alluded to it with Eddies 472.5kg based on the full competition. Similar to Rauno 476kg and also Eddie jumping the WR by 35 Kg.

How is it similar to Rauno's? Eddie did the heats and then four events of the WSM final before his 472kg pull whereas Rauno pulled 476kg in the first event fresh.

@@edsalmon1449 Rauno is only 40, plenty of strength athletes hit their static peaks in their late 30s to early 40s. Yes, it's impressive to do it at 40 but I wouldn't say that beats a 500/501kg pull, you could also argue Rauno has had more years of strength training. Sorry, i know you never said it was more impressive, I thought I was replying to a different comment haha.

Always Man is Eddie hall he is the best 💯💪🔥🐯

Bjorn's 501kg may not be official, but his 474kg lift looked like he could do 2 reps, so its clear he should be able to do the 501kg.

Its insane to think that 15 years ago, 900+ was considered incredible. Now, there are dudes opening at 950+.

and still were waiting for Oberst to get his American Log Lift record.

Eddie was so strong man and was the best deadlifter in the world during his time wish he would of did a powerlifting meet before he retired

The way Thor manhandled the 501kg (standard) & 476kg (elephant)? Mental. Eddie? Deadlift's Roger Bannister. My fave: Rauno's 476.

I don't like Thor or Eddie, but a lot of respect for their Lifts, absolutely amazing achievement. Just wish their Egos hadn't gotten in the way of what could have been an amazing competition
