Hafthor Bjornsson - 1003-lb Deadlift x2 Reps.

[Fortress]

We’re now seeing a whole new breed of muscle/strength athlete emerging with the absolute over saturation of drugs-and-hormone use/abuse across many platforms of demographics and disciplines.

We’re also starting to witness the fallout.

Lots of superfreaks will be super-dropping and Coleman-ing out in the coming years.

He was actually playing a prank on the cameraman, he shows how in the video.  He isn't 462 (yet)

Ahh, gotcha, thx...

I have been deadlift-obsessed for decades 

Cailer Woolam has done some insane lifts while being "skinny". This Jamal dude hit an all-time world record the other day, just insane. Just look at it!

If I'm reading right they are doing 950-970 lbs @ body weights of 215-220 lbs.?

If so then it seems these little fellows are much stronger pound for pound than the bigger guys like Half-Thor:

950/220 = 4.3
1050/350 = 3.0

Hafthor Bjornsson and Brian Shaw may be closer to 450-lb, so yeah - you're absolutely right about that.

On gear, no testing.

Thor was 385 off gear (or TRT clean out) a couple months back. Weighed in at 462 last week.
That plus doubling up on calories again.

He wasn't 462 pounds last week. Watch the video! He was pushing up on a rack to make himself weigh 210kg. It was a JOKE. He says so himself. He weighed himself 5 seconds later and was 196.5 kgs (433 pounds):

Cailer has pulled at least 881 conventional. These are weights that are hard to believe and seem almost impossible for a guy his size. A few years ago few would have believed these feats are even possible. The sumo pulls are insane as well, if you look at his stance, no suit, hook grip and no belt either.

Tom Martin is another impressive puller, I think he coaches Cailer.

Lamar Gant - IIRC is still the only Man to pull 5x his body weight !!!!
300kg 660lbs At 60kg 132lbs body weight back in the late 70s or early 80s
Phenomenal lifting - that said he had a somewhat strange physical structure,
He deadlifted in the Narrow Stance “Conventional” Style.

Yes, unfortunately his abnormally long arms takes away from his records in the deadlift a bit. These new guys obviously have structures suited to lifting but they don't look obviously abnormal.
