cryptumsaga
Oh wow, the deflection on that bar.
Quizz25S
Damn they picked the right guy when they cast him as Gregor Clegane.
d0o0o0d
He would have made a good Bane if he could do a latin accent. Or maybe they pull a Darth Vader and have someone else do the voice.
AreaResident
I got freaked out by the dude in the video with blood shooting out of his nose. I was yelling DROP IT DROP IT YOU ARE GONNA POP A VESSEL!

sosotired
Why do i get the feeling the could have added another 15lbs and he would still got it up. Man, he makes it look so easy.
foamerMD
He’s only 29? Dude looks in his 40’s......
BreakfastWithCountChocula
He's also fighting Bell's palsy.
foamerMD
When is that match? Sorry, I don’t follow WWE
DarkWhiteWolf
I love the Strongman competitions because it always seems like everybody pushes one another to the next level with perfect sportsmanship
LadyNetrex
Fucking dominating! Not only does he lift it when no one else could, he holds and nods his head around to the crowd before he slams it down.
Marttvedt
And he isnt even 30...
linuxlizard
I couldn't lift that with a forklift. *because I'm not qualified to operate one
ThreePointOneFourOneFive
Eddie hall has the world record with an oly bar lol
casbott
Out of curiosity, I wonder how good he is at jogging and swimming.
SorenAziz
Swimming probably better than running. He obviously would suffer in agility and cardio vascular endurance based sports.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
He was a basketball player until his early twenties
SorenAziz
Yeah and he had a radically different physique back then. Different amounts of mobility, different oxygen requirements, different condition
indyliberal
He’s a former basketball player. But yeah, he’s not going to run a marathon.
Davidnfilms
Did he have a stroke?
whereismydamnlighter
Assfullofbread
No he was diagnosed with Bell's palsy
CryptFist
No it’s a disease that causes facial paralysis..bell palsy’s I think
Chainhealer
Was wondering the same. His face is fucked up :(
MagnificentGraymatter
Not during the lift, but he did have one maybe last year? Unsure of exactly when.
Davidnfilms
OH NO! wow!
SuperJesusBBQ
Bell's palsy. It's viral and temporary
goodjobmyfellowman
Maybe he's bjorn with it
jandeeg
Maybe it's Weighbeline.

Something is happening in my pants...does that make me gay?
wolfgangundgeorg
Yes.
sevrono
I am definitely gay for Hafthor
intaglioguy
No. It makes you incontinent. You may need to start wearing diapers.

DamnThatMashLooksTasty96
He's a good weight lifter, but when it comes to portraying the Mountain, I prefer the actors from the earlier seasons.
TrueLegateDamar
Conan Stevens would been perfect if he stayed on after S1 but he got tricked into thinking he'd play the main bad guy in the Hobbit movies
RemainsspacebarUnknown
hm i prefer hafthor honestly. conan stevens is a close 2nd. the other guy is a wreck tho.
KevinSandusky
I agree, new mountain simply has too much of a baby face
ImJustLiftingStuff
Good thing they put on a helmet on him then.
Bingoismynameo
How much does he eat to maintain, damn
mormacil
He eats like every hour and a very strict diet IIRC.
SweatyPie
A lot, & very regimented. His contract for GoT specified in careful detail how often he'd be provided with food, & of what type it would be.
digme
At least 11 or 12.
PinkyToeSlayerOfTableLegs
It's not Halfthor but its basically the same diet every strongman of that size eats. They never stop. https://youtu.be/YQEJyjKTH9g
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
That's the same amount of calories that Michael Phelphs ate every day before an Olympics. Their poor toilets.
Bingoismynameo
Is it weird that I want to work out more so I can eat more?
PinkyToeSlayerOfTableLegs
The whole reason I life and do cardio is so I can eat more. Without either I can only eat SO little. Food is life. I look better and feel
PinkyToeSlayerOfTableLegs
Better with my lifestyle. It's great.

472kg’s ... barefooted
thebestjake
Cuz a pair of tennis shoes is going to keep your toes on if you drop it on your foot
lunchablelector
Many people prefer deadlifting barefooted

arussell0027
Yep, it's not too uncommon. Lot of small blood vessels there that can burst when you're putting that much pressure on your body.
BlastFX
Yup. I even once had a small vein on my forehead pop when doing legpress.
Nikuz
valen00
African or European? Also if a male tiger is 310kg you could hit that weight with like two cats
Fairdinkums
I think you're right. Someone get this man an abacus!
oolongrastafari2000
Or 2 people at Walmart ????
KupukatheDruid
Well, you're not wrong.jpg
howaboutnothankyouverymuch
Well seriously though, since average horses are 900-1200 pounds, he can lift a whole horse off the ground.

Moving or stationary?
tommymessala
Yes

European or African swallow? Oh wait nevermind, irrelevant

Leejama
He used to show up at the store where I worked. The dude's massive. Pretty comical seeing him putting pears into a tiny plastic bag
ElbowdeepinElmo
What do you mean, he's tiny:
LittleWolfiee
He's 6'9". Either this is photoshopped, some other strong looking dude, or the guys to either side are fucking giants.

Hafthor is the runt of the family. Not kidding, they're all fucking huge.
Goldenass
I’m pretty sure the 2 other guys are his brothers
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
nope
Ber4nger10
I think they're his brothers...? Seen this pic before.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
Yeah they are not his brothers, username not relevant

How is the a world record, I thought it was Eddie halls 500kgs

flankerII
We need to get the Night's Watch some wightlifting suits
LostHonour
It's a different bar, I think, so it's classed differently.
whereismydamnlighter
This is the record for the "longbar" deadlift
Sherlock89
Hall did, but I think this was the record for that competition in particular
steve1907
Bit of a weird one, world record but only for this competition.
FrankPerkele
There's other comment stating that he did his record with olympic bar and this one was done on elephant bar
Jinxer13
Fun fact: It's called an elephant bar because it's what elephants use to determine who gets to be a lawyer.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
I feel so relevant :) i like you
Jinxer13
I feel like this is an implication indirectly alluding to the notion that my statement might somehow be not absolutely factual.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
No not at all
Antrazit
For those confused: Eddie Hall lifted 500KG on an olympic bar, this here is an elephant bar, which is longer and consequently bends more. So
XequR
World's Strongest Man 2017 won Eddie Hall with 1 point over Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson... so those two are really something
AlmightyDylon
Good I remember when Eddie was barely a blip on the radar. His story is what inspired me to stop being a fat slob
BobTBaumeister
I was about to question that very thing!
whereismydamnlighter
aka longbar
howaboutnothankyouverymuch
Also to put this in perspective, average horses typically weigh 900-1200 pounds...... He can literally lift a horse.
mattybardy
Good doc on Netflix : Born Strong
Antrazit
Also, he isn't using a lifting suit
thefrog58
He's using briefs. Still helps his hips stay in alignment, but not that much
ForgivingCat
Hernia, here we go.
TrapsAreIllegal
Deadlift suits are the most useless of the three if you ask me. You just don't get as much out of them.
revgains
Also, this being raw means no lifting suit and the lift has to be technically clean ( no hitching ).
420B0ngRips4Jesus69
Looks like that bar has a lot of whip to it.
ImSorryEh
Eddie Hall also was wearing an entire weightlifting suit, Hafthor only used basic straps.
goatamon
As far as I'm concerned, Benedikt Magnusson is still the greatest deadlifter of all time. 461kg, no suit, no straps.
postalmaner
Andy Bolton, Benedikt, those are some crazy kids.
rogueJ
Very informative, you know your stuff, thanks for sharing, what do these bars weigh?
Kenneth1Gracia
Savvoc
Thor broke the "raw deadlift" record which is supposed to only be with a belt brace but seen here he does have lifting straps so idk.
DaShanghaiKid
What about the other events? There is four total.
KevinSandusky
Question, if Hafthor lifted using a deadlift bar, why did Eddie not do the same?
darkme11
They were done in different competitions.
Theoldredeyes
There is a raw record and a what's called assisted record Wich means Eddie was using a lifting suit.
railgap
I see weight bars bend like that, and knowing they are tempered, I worry about them snapping, tho they rarely do.
panamjck
Someone cracked a bar at my gym. I was told someone dropped a 600lb DL
SuperJesusBBQ
They do, more often than not during heavy squats because of the single point of pressure in the back
Basghetti
Resilience.
eldieron24
So the 500kg one doesn't count because of the bar?
NotYourAverageWeeab
It's just harder to compare, the more a bar bends the easier it is to deadlift because it will bend before the weights leave the ground so
NotYourAverageWeeab
You have a higher starting position, which is easier to pull from, and less total distance to move the weight
eldieron24
The guy said this one bends more, right? So the other one was more weight on a stiffer bar and should be harder on each account?
NotYourAverageWeeab
1 big factor to take into account is thor used the bar at The Arnold, which consists of several events over a 2(?) day period. Strategy 1/
Antrazit
Those are two different world records. It might be worth noting though, that the deadlift was one of eddies best disciplines, while the
Antrazit
Mountain is stronger in others(like the keg toss). Seeing him set the wr here in a discipline that didn't used to be his best, he is the fav
Antrazit
For the world's strongest man 2018 for sure
papapanda
NEEEEEEEERRRRRRDDDD!
Varenyth
Thanks ! Here's something I didn't know I wanted to know!
DirkNurple
Isn’t it a 24mm bar?
LearningOnImgur
I still think Brian Shaw is the favorite, he still has a few years left maybe. But once he's done it's all Hafthor; he's not even 30 yet.
sckrlfe
Thanks!
Jinxer13
3 3rd places and 3 2nd places in last 6 years.Brian Shaw and Savickas are getting older. He might be the next to dominate.

Eddie hall won’t be in WSM 2018 due to injury
