Streaming the espn app on the tv in the garage while I workout. Maybe it'll give me a little motivation.

Warming up with over 900 lbs. It's just not fair

Granted he’s got a suite on but it’s strongman standards so basically no rules

ESPN has to specify on the scroll bar that Thor is just his nickname

Straps don’t add 500 lbs to your max. This dude’s a monster

Did I ever say that?

But straps significantly help with grip strength

To be fair no. You did not.

I just don’t like when people dismiss what these guys are doing because of straps. To me it’s like saying that LeBron is only good because of his shoes...

Are they using a Rogue barbell? I’ve just assumed they are but hard to tell.

I’m not dismissing anything

But it’s a suite which makes a big difference

Regardless he’s strong as frick

I can’t defend the suit because I’ve never worn one.

Pretty sure Thor trains on Rogue OPB. I’d imagine he’s got one of their DL bars since they’re his big sponsor.

He made 465 look pretty easy.

I wish I could pull 465 lbs that easily. 465 kilos just blows my mind

Booom nailed it

Eddie Hall almost died pulling 500kg

Granted he isn’t a monster like Thor

Man that was amazing. He definitely could’ve done more too, his bar speed only slowed down a split second through the whole lift.
