New Deadlift World Record !!

[affeman]

Hafthor yesterday pulled 505 kg (1113 lbs) at a competition in Germany, breaking his own world record of 501 kg. Absolutely insane!

[affeman]

Doesn't even look like that would've been his absolute max, rather looked like he would've gotten at least 3-5 kg more in the tank (and he's also significantly lighter than at his last word record attempt with 501 kg)

[Beefjake]

Amazing!

[Humble Narcissist]

DAMN!!!

[Brenda Steunbeer]

I wish him good luck with his hip replacements and back surgeries. Hopefully he does not end up like Ronnie the Retard

I think Mitch Hooper said Thor was going to try 510 at giants live, coming up.

If you see his 480kg pull from a couple of weeks ago, he probably has more in the tank.

He did an insane about of eating before this, all clean meals every 2.5hrs. That's almost the hardest part.

why would that make any difference?

I know a guy who ran marathons , he ran on zero carbs and fully carbed up

His times were the same.

[BigRo]

It makes a huge difference for strength.

[Hulkotron]

Would be one of the stronger posters here.

Even when fully carbed up, just how long will it last during a marathon?

If Thor feels he needed more bodyweight then he needed.
For me bodyweight effects least on deads and most in bench but to each for their own.

[BigRo]

It has always been my experience, more food more strength for heavy lifting, not just carbs everything.

i recall seeing eddie hall shopping for his food

absolute shitshow of junk in honesty and loads of it

but you dont know why?

Tell me, if Thor had eaten more food than he did would he have lifted more?

You can only get so much benefit from the food you eat, the food you eat now really only gets used tomorrow unless you eat simple sugars

i fairness jo i THINK its difficult to equate strongman- some of them have access to cybergenics, FRAS, Betasitersterol, Inosine, Mumie, Smilax Officianalis, Boron and Dibencozide,

I recall when I was 15 I saved up ans got a Davina 7 Day Crash Weight Gain Plan- Jamie Reeves used to 'swear biy it'.

At the ed of the week I was 5 lb heavier. by the following week it was gone.

I switched over to Cybergenics Infinit 1700. that'll show them. It didnt I was shitting through the eye of a needle - nearly ruined a pair of platinum physique baggies when I got caught out

I cant see how binge eating is going to help in the last few days before a lift

Once you are fully glycogen loaded then what else will more food do?

I don't think he was binge eating, I think he was maintaining. Either way, he pulled that 505kg and left no question about who holds the record now. I hope Eddie Hall was watching live.

Poor Eddies ego wont be able to handle it, his 500k nearly killed him

eddie hall wsm was ace

eddie hall now- absolute sideshow

hehad a man vs food type show on A few years back. as hes not a pro eater he lost the majority of the challenge

I remember nathan de ash doing a hot wing challenge and ending up in hospital in agony


I tend to agree with jeff in terms of glyco levels HOWEVER I feel psychologically some strongmen get a mental lift if they are fully loaded!

[joswift]

Ronnie did 800lbs for 2 reps 5 weeks out from the Olympia while dieting at around 6% BF

Imagine if Ronnie had been eating 15 meals a day of steak and rice.

He was hungry.

Credit where it's due, he was the first. In interviews I've seen him talking about blood transfusions, hypnotists and therapists in the effort leading up to the 500kg lift. I wonder the psychological impact that had on Eddies ability vs Thor eating every 2.5hrs.

He was well fueled up for the big lift after days of eating big. I am a good bit stronger after a couple of meals on the same day.
