Dwarfing Arnold

Yes they sure are.
Only how big will they be if & when they get to 70yrs of life.

I don’t recall seeing many 350lb + men at that age.

Update on previous post regarding Hafthors deadlift.

I'm just watching the documentary Born Strong. I'm half way through and it's showing the previous years deadlifting, and everybody's just throwing the bar down. Must just be different rules for the Arnold compared to Worlds. No wonder Eddie Hall just let go of the bar at Worlds when he got disqualified if he was used to rules of the Arnold etc..
The federations/comps should stick to one rule. I don't care which one, but pick one of them.

I got an email from Rogue the other day. Included in the email was a clip of Hafthor Bjornsson performing the deadlift new world record with this new Elephant Bar etc..
All I could see was Hafthor Bjornsson throwing or dropping the bar.
Can someone enlighten me as to why this has not been disqualified?
Is it because we've got a different comp from when Eddie Halls lift was disqualified?
A new world record, because of the difference of the use of a different bar, I can only just about tolerate. But I can comprehend.
Is this a case of just a cluster fuck, make whatever rules up you want for our little competition/federation, providing it's worth it financially? In other words: Arnolds event instead of using proper rules of don't drop the bar.
Or did nobody else notice this, or was the clip I saw not clear enough and I've got it wrong.
I've googled this for the last hour or so and came up with nothing.
What do we think?

All around - yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

And yes - Eddie Hall's disqualification prompted the rule change.  After all, this is strongman deadlifting, not powerlifting.
