re: Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson has broken the WR deadlift at 501kg (1,102.2 lb)!

I've watched Thor alot over recent years, and while he is clearly stronger than he's ever been, he looks like shite. Eddie did as well. Everything they put in their bodies leading up to this point eventually begins to work against them. That is why Thor was adamant about making this attempt now. He is peaking, and it would be wasted if he didn't make the attempt.
