Hafthor Gunning for Bells Total
« on: March 04, 2023, 02:06:13 PM »
As mentioned, Hafthor wants to try to get the top total in Powerlifting.
Not sure if he'll make it, but he'll climb higher up the rankings.
He's only dabbled in it, but still is top 10 when it comes to total. (Raw w/ Wraps).
He needs to improve his bench to get close. I think he's "only" done 551 in a meet like shown here.

He wants to do this in 2023 and come back to Strongman in 2024. Though he's been around forever, he's only in his mid 30's still.

Makes it fun/interesting for fans of strength-sports..

He only trained a few months for that powerlifting event in 2018. If he dedicates everything to powerlifting in the next few years the way he did strongman and boxing I think he can absolutely break the record. He is more gifted than those other guys.

I wonder how far he's going to push the super-suppz.
He said he did not want to go back to 400 lbs.
We'll see I suppose...

Fortress predicts a catastrophic injury.

Hope I’m wrong.

Hafthor has avoided injuries so far.

Back to the Iron after Wayne owned me..  8)

Good to see. Bell with some encouragement.
Eddie cried and was butt-hurt over Thors DL. (Then Thor had to drop him in the ring).

Thors SQ and DL will rival Bell, his bench is what could hold him back..

Not gonna happen..Thor is devoting his life to this and struggling.

Bell literally has a strenuous full time job and still blows him away..bell is the best in the world at something that’s merely a hobby to him. If bell took 6 months off of work and trained and ate 100% correct I doubt anyone would ever touch his number….

The only man capable of competing with him is if eddy hall took powerlifting seriously

Bench

I dont think he's devoting his life to it... Just 2023. What else does he have to do, is Yogurt company is now successful, got paid a mil to drop Eddie, etc.
Something he enjoys doing at that level. I dont think he'll make it, but he's not afraid to fail. As shown by fighting someone in teh ring.
You dont know what will happen up-front.

No matter what he will climb up, he's already top-10 of all-time, and thats only dabbling in it.
He'll be back to Strongman for one more run in 2024.

Those 661 squats look crazy easy.

Drugs work.

A few months ago the guy was struggling with 100 less pounds. Jeez.

His meet is today, curious to see how he does.
I dont think he'll touch Bell's total, but will do very well.

And that tear is BAD.

Someone jinxed him saying he's escaped injury ;D
He'll have to move onto something else now, maybe strict curl or classic physique.

Agreed but thought it might be different.

He had already been strong for a long time so his tendons had had the time to strenghten.
Laid of the heaviest weights for a while but did exercised full time.

I think most of these tears and ruptures happen when you are gaining that strenght for the first time?

Shit happens.

"Bells Palsy"  8)

Well at least his left pec will be matching the left side of his face. 

He gets a stroke that paralyzes entire left side of face like that old school Santa claus looking bodybuilder and now brutally tears left pec off the bone ...Eddie Hall is LOLing all the way from StokeOnTrent hahaha

Dumbass hafthor....what a buffoon
