The first-ever Enhanced Games -- widely dubbed the "Steroid Olympics" -- take place Sunday in Las Vegas, where elite sprinters, swimmers and weightlifters will vie for world records while taking banned performance-enhancing drugs.

Just Hafthor pulling 1,069 lbs in prep for the 515kg (1,133 lbs) attempt tomorrow. If/when he lifts it he will get $250,000. He got $100k last year for the 510kg lift.



That's the heaviest prep he's done in his career. It didn't look as smooth as leading up to the 510kg lift did, but I'd be surprised if he didn't get the 515kg.

ETA: Strongman has never been a tested sport. Thor, and 99.9% of all other top level open weight competitors, has always been juiced to the gills. This lift will prove nothing other than Thor is so far beyond everyone else (but for a couple guys sumo lifting) that it isn't even funny.

Well, even the big wheel money men and AI bros couldn't keep this show on the road. The stream crashed on the first lift of the first event in the weight lifting part of the "games". It didn't last 10 minutes.

The event that crashed the stream? Women's Enhanced Snatch....

Yes he is juiced to the gills but being how tall he is and the narrow stance. That shite is still impressive as hell.

I wonder what he benches.

Oh, 100%. He's not the ideal deadlifter at all, but has pushed it that far regardless.

Not as much now as he used to. When he came back from his foray into boxing, having lost nearly 200 pounds, he had the goal of taking the overall powerlifting record. He ramped back up pretty quickly and in his first big powerlifting comp after coming back he completely tore is pec. He had to have surgery, and hasn't pushed bench press since. He went back to Strongman after he recovered, and has been focusing mostly on deadlifting.

Yes in general he is not ideally built for power lifting.
