Breaking News!

Haftor just tore his left pec in gym competition.
Last lift 252,5kgs I believe it was.


(Edit.) Here you go.

Jeezus Christ THAT HORRIFYING SOUND!!!

GOD DAMN

[Sandrock]

Most weightlifting related injuries are causes by muscle imbalances and left-right asymmetry, with a 15% asymmetry supposedly being the signpost of doom ... and Halfthor, a guy who had half his face paralyzed amongst the other "usual" strongman injuries decided to go for one more full blown run and...ouch.

He must have made some good cash off the Game of Thrones role and the boxing match and endorsements right?  I respect wanting to do what you're passionate about but Strongman/powerlifting on boatloads of drugs is one of the most extreme things you can do.  I hope he recovers fully(I like the guy) but he probably should call it a career.

Was the bench the first lift of the meet for him?  If so, anyone know what he projected his squat and deadlift to be on that day?

Genuinely intredasting thread here

I know very little about the technicalities of power lifting, but I would assume that the week to week increases in poundage or total load or whatever lifted in each session was strictly programmed, right?  A bit like when you're trying to build up to a marathon or something (OK - diametrically opposed, but you catch my drift hopefully)

So would he have designed his own programme?  Or would a 'coach' be responsible?  Just wondering if he was showing off to his gym Brahs

No, it went like powerlifting competitons go. Squat, Bench , Deads.

There is a video from it as well but if I recall his Squats were, 380kg, 400kg and 420kgs. All with 3 whites.
Bench accident was his last lift… maybe 225kg and 240kg completed before that last attempt.

[Rambone]

He should bounce back quickly with no noticeable flaws like Hanky

[joswift]

guy is fucking drooling
Fucks sake take the warning and get some weight off

[Fortress]

Was the bench the first lift of the meet for him?

It’s always squat, bench press and deadlift, in that order.

He got three whites on his first two squats and then got three reds on his third for depth. That attempt was just shy of 1,000.

This tear will likely have him never again pressing over five, sadly.

I believe a balanced life including a regular work schedule MASSIVELY aids athletic performance.

[WalterWhite]

Doesn't even have a proper sling yet. 🤷🏼🫤

[Sandrock]

I don't know why I had it in my head that the order of the lifts was different in some federations.  Thanks for clearing that up.  I wanted to know how much weight Thor could deadlift at this point - I figure less than his previous record but still over 1000 yeah?

Another funny thing: all these shitty tattoos everyone has nowadays actually weaken the nerves in the underlying muscles!  So if you have asymmetrical tats you're pushing yourself along to that 15% asymmetry critical value for injury.

That becomes your balanced work schedule..he could do more work with his sponsors and do all kinds of tri-weekly seminars and shit like westside and elite-fits used to do and all that.
