Dude at one point had the holy grail body stats, 6’9” 420. Nice. Met him once at a GoT-related signing event at a bar - I was probably the only person there who knew him as a strongman first, and he clearly appreciated it. He’s a good dude, and needless to say unbelievably enormous in person.
I'm Swedish and while I could be annnoyed that you do the same accent for all nordic languages I instead am happy that you chose one that sounds most like Iclandic.
If a pec tears in the gym and there's no one around to hear it, were you really lifting heavy? 🤔 "lmao bro did you hear flouy7430 tore his pec the other day?" "yeah dude I heard he wasn't even benching a plate"
I tore my left pectoral muscle (pectoralis major, I think it's called? it's been a couple of years now) while lifting a box of compacted sofa components, no air in that box, it was a 'dead' weight for sure. I never heard anything but I certainly freakin' felt the crap out of it. It took about 2 years to heal, and the first year felt like the pain and the feeling of constant tearing would never leave me for the rest of my life. Weird sensation, but you'd know if it happened even if you didn't hear it.
Accent is spot on, if you ever visit Iceland, I recommend always using it when talking to the locals. (edit: I'm saying this in exactly the same accent)
I've heard if I use my normal Australian accent in Iceland I will be instantly smothered in beautiful model crossfit champion women who use the RP Don't Accidentally Shag My Cousin app... pls confirm? Because I am ready to emigrate. For the fjords, and volcanoes, and... things.
So, I've been watching Mikes videos for a while now, and what I love about his teaching method is that Mike has an uncanny ability to explain in depth on some fairly advanced tips without burying the listener with too much extra information or large esoteric words. Great example of an intellectual leader in the field of "lifting science"
All this video and Mike didn't even touch on the fact that this behemoth is that large and heavy but still has the ability to have an absolutely chiseled 6 pack.
My dad use to say something when I was younger "the youth is wasted on the young" and I didn't get it doesn't really make alot of sense, but now at 35 and getting injured and not recovering like I use to, I'm getting it

As someone who started lifting in his early 20s who is now 33, Dr. Mike is spot on when he says to start training smart early on. I'm more jacked now more than ever, and I've never had an injury!

Please come in again, everyone truly loved how kind and cheerful you were! Appreciate you so much man as an inspiration and a good person. Connor from The Last Word
@@turnbeutelvergesser_7767 Brian is the second greatest strongman of all time behind Z, Thor's competitive history doesn't even compare to either, but Thor in 2018 was stronger than anyone we have ever seen
Last night I watched Mitchell Hooper talking about his training priorities for the off season and he identified grip strength and lower back as his targets. Literally exactly what Dr Mike would pick as his untouchable strongman attributes. It's almost like he has a PhD in this shit...
@@Kirac322 I think they already made one comparing strongman and bodybuilding training, it would be cool to see another video with them both. Super smart guys
You really dont need education at all besides a basic understanding of moving, lifting and which parts of the body does what moves, like I would think you, me and every other regular viewer of this has, to point out low back and grip as the most central for strongman.
Love the videos mike. you should make a video on Markus Ruhl. would be fun seeing you remark his tunafish "smoothie"" and also all his eating/smoking habits. Love from Norway
@@ryanrogers8211 No, Thor and the rest of the Nordic Gods are more of a force of nature. But it was due to those who then recorded the account of Scandinavian beliefs who personified them as imperfect and human to avoid heretical concepts that go against their Christian God.
Around the 4:05 mark, about Hafthor Bjornsson holding the World Record despite his unfavorable leverages: He had an extra ingredient fueling his training: hatred. It seems he aimed specifically for 501kg just to spite Eddie Hall. Watching the effort he put into lifting 501kg, it’s clear he likely had the strength to go for 505kg. But no-501kg was exactly what he needed to take the record from Hall. Hafthor Bjornsson set a World Record out of sheer spite, and honestly, I respect that. Lmao.
Not a legit World Record, he did this at his home gym with his own deadlift bar and weights that his Dad weighed lol. Whereas Eddie’s 500kg was during a competition with sanctioned weights and standard deadlift bar, not to mention the real time pressure. The fact that the previous record was 463kg and he went straight to 500kg is absolutely insane and never done before. Meanwhile Hafthor claims he has the world record because google says. What a fraud
@@kuljitsingh6531 you gotta check the background of the competition where Eddie did his 500kg, you'll quickly see, Eddie ain't all that. You also know nothing of the situation under Hafthors pull was made, better to shut up if you only regurgitate mainstream drama
Maybe there's a plan considering these strongman videos you've been doing and the leg day coming out soon (we hope?) but a review of Mitch's training would be cool. Especially his recent stuff where he's training more for growth. But yeah, a video on Eddie would be sick Iron Biby would be a laugh to watch too, what a guy. Tom maybe, or big Z or some other great
Love you Mike! Man when I was coming back from my bicep injury I couldn't even do RDLs without properly waming up my biceps. Gonna be back to the gym soon after a 2 year break. I remember that I was experiencing a lot of phantom pain when the tendon should have already been healed, so it's gonna be interesting to see where it's at. Looking forward to diving back into your injury prevention series as well. ✌🏻
I love how you can tell the clear distinction imediately in these videos between people who get big for looks and people like Thor who get big for competition and practicality
I went to Iceland probably over a year ago now for 14 days with a fiancé. It was amazing. Talked about a beautiful place. We drove around the whole island. I think it’s the island right lol but it was amazing. Definitely on the bucket list. At least you should put it on the bucket list. We just rented a carand stayed at a different place every night. People are amazing abuser amazing. It was amazing.
19:53 one of my colleagues actually did tear his pec in the club - i didn't wanna believe the story either, apparently he wanted to flex and did dips (somehow?) completely not warmed up ofc, tore his pec (actually on the sternum side, not the usual outside tendon tear). Don't think anyone had that on their bingo card that night.
@@branominalunofficial world record. He hasn’t deadlifted anything close. No judges or proper procedure. He has refused to deadlift 500 kg publicly and he’s supposedly been able to do it since 2020.
One thing people neglect with deadlifts is the neurological connections to really increase strength. I truly believe that if you practice your deadlifting technique, in the mirror once a day for 5 minutes, you will be able to recruit more motor neurons, which will help you move more weight. Especially if you have a good base. I wasn't allowed to lift heavy, until my coach approved of my technique. I practiced every day, until I was picture perfect, and when I was cleared to go heavy, I kept practicing every day. I did deadlifts once every 2 weeks. The results and benefits, were the best I had in any lift, and I incorporated daily practice of other lifts and all my numbers increased, so... If you're still give it a try.
Thor is one of the strongest and most respectful guys in the biz, second only to Brian really. Hes had to overcome and push through a LOT, and he's a real inspiration of mine.
@georgeforeman1097 he's definitely stronger than Brian, yeah. I meant mostly that Brian is probably the most well-liked and respectful competitor in strongman, and a close second would, for me, either be Big Z, Thor, or Martins.
@@georgeforeman1097 i tend to agree, however Halfthor wouldn't be as strong as he is if he didn't have to compete against Brian, who was strong because of Big Z, who was strong because of Pudz, and so on
The most impressive thing about Thor’s 501 was the relative ease - Eddie almost died from his 500, Thor looked like he could have gotten a second rep. (Yes, Eddie did it first and that’s a huge deal - not knocking Eddie here. And I doubt that Thor could actually have gotten a second rep - but it was so clean that it looked like a 2-3RM.) Also, perfect editing: “Sebastian - he’s super strong and super jacked.” *Shows photo of Sebastian looking like a child standing next to Thor*
Tbf to Eddie he was not just the first he also drove the deadlift to 500kg from like around 450 in a couple of years, he also achieved his lift in an arena and at the top he held that bar for a long long time.
Eddie broke the record by 37kgs he lifted a weight no one thought was possible and that's why his record is more impressive. When Thor lifted it he already knew it was possible.
Eddie also had exorbitant rest times and shaky knees on lockout. Epic lift but wouldn't have been a good lift in a powerlifting meet (straps aside). Shame all the bickering soured it afterwards. Records get broken, titles last forever.
I love this video series, its very educational and entertaining. I would like to see Eddie Hall and Mitchell Hooper in one of these soon. Keep up the great work. :D
Bro, I worked out with him once in his gym. This man is a beast and it is way more impressive to see that sh*t in person. I tried to lift his stuff and couldn’t even move it… he is super nice and chill though Edit. The women there are not as pretty as people make them out to be.
And my stupid arms when fully extended make the bar hang around peepee level instead of knees or kid thigh.... Can I use that as an excuse for being bad at deadlifts or my sciatica... Or my scoliosis...
You sure can have the same accent for Iceland, sweden, Denmark and norway but finland isn't the same. Those other languages are related but finnish is totally it's own thing and doesn't sound like scandinavian languages
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and even Icelandic are all similar enough for us to understand each other, verbally and definitely in written text. Finnish is a completely separate language family. However, ironically enough, when speaking English even the Finns has a similar accent to the Scandinavian countries. Mike's generic Nordic accent sounded mostly Finnish, but I could give it a pass for a Swede, a Norwegian or an Icelander too. For some reason all we Nordic siblings sound similar speaking English =) But the Finnish accent is a bit harsher (like the way Mike was so rough on those consonants), Swedish and Norwegian accents are softer, longer vowels, more sing-songy cadence.
I would love to see that monster in pads on a football field. If you put him at defensive tackle, teach him some basic techniques, and then tell him to pick up the guard and center and throw them both at the same time right into the QBs chest! Talk about a game wrecker!!
There was a video a few years ago where the Minnesota Vikings invited him to their facility and outfitted him in pads. Sadly he didn't actually play, but it was still an awesome video.
Saw a young guy at the gym today, probably a teenager. He was doing deadlifs at like 100 kg. He went at it fast, rep after rep, no bracing, arching his back, no control over the eccentric just letting it fall and craziest of all he didnt seem to have any real muscle on his body. I thought to myself that if i did what he was doing my back would be toast for at least a few months and maybe forever! Crazy how being young kinda makes you immortal in some sense. I hope he learns before he hurts himself.
Hey everyone! Stop at exactly 7:50 Min And enjoy the view. I've never seen something so magnificent. It's like his whole hair tried to flee his face in virtually all directions possible. I love every single detail about it I just spend like a minute laughing while sitting on the toilet like a madman
I got a picture with him while holding my son when he was one years old. I titled the picture, " when the 3 strongest men in the world meet" We were all wearing kilts because it was at the highland games.

If he is a Half Thor imagine a Full Thor.

The SOUND of his pec tear, if my pec teared Im not even sure you could hear it in an empty room with a stethoscope
If a pec tears in the gym and there's no one around to hear it, were you really lifting heavy? 🤔
"lmao bro did you hear flouy7430 tore his pec the other day?"

Thor is one of the strongest and most respectful guys in the biz, second only to Brian really. Hes had to overcome and push through a LOT, and he's a real inspiration of mine.
I think hes stronger than brian tbh
@georgeforeman1097 he's definitely stronger than Brian, yeah. I meant mostly that Brian is probably the most well-liked and respectful competitor in strongman, and a close second would, for me, either be Big Z, Thor, or Martins.
@@georgeforeman1097 i tend to agree, however Halfthor wouldn't be as strong as he is if he didn't have to compete against Brian, who was strong because of Big Z, who was strong because of Pudz, and so on
Nice video, but i didn't learn a lot, from this.
But in general Mike's channel is gorgeous!
The most impressive thing about Thor’s 501 was the relative ease - Eddie almost died from his 500, Thor looked like he could have gotten a second rep. (Yes, Eddie did it first and that’s a huge deal - not knocking Eddie here. And I doubt that Thor could actually have gotten a second rep - but it was so clean that it looked like a 2-3RM.)
Also, perfect editing:
“Sebastian - he’s super strong and super jacked.”
*Shows photo of Sebastian looking like a child standing next to Thor*
Tbf to Eddie he was not just the first he also drove the deadlift to 500kg from like around 450 in a couple of years, he also achieved his lift in an arena and at the top he held that bar for a long long time.
Eddie broke the record by 37kgs he lifted a weight no one thought was possible and that's why his record is more impressive. When Thor lifted it he already knew it was possible.
Eddie also had exorbitant rest times and shaky knees on lockout. Epic lift but wouldn't have been a good lift in a powerlifting meet (straps aside). Shame all the bickering soured it afterwards. Records get broken, titles last forever.
Bruh eddie did it in strongman competition
And haftor in his homegym
B**** Please 😂😂😂
Thors dad loaded the weights and it wasn’t done in competition. Not an official world record
Finally. Please more strongman stuff.
I hate Scott for that one🤦♂️ 8:30
I love this video series, its very educational and entertaining.
I would like to see Eddie Hall and Mitchell Hooper in one of these soon. Keep up the great work. :D
Bro, I worked out with him once in his gym. This man is a beast and it is way more impressive to see that sh*t in person. I tried to lift his stuff and couldn’t even move it… he is super nice and chill though
Edit. The women there are not as pretty as people make them out to be.
That was the best transition yet
Asking again for Andrei Smaev
his "light weight" is literally the bodyweight of my homie in each hand..
And my stupid arms when fully extended make the bar hang around peepee level instead of knees or kid thigh.... Can I use that as an excuse for being bad at deadlifts or my sciatica... Or my scoliosis...
Thank you Dr. I love watching your videos
You sure can have the same accent for Iceland, sweden, Denmark and norway but finland isn't the same. Those other languages are related but finnish is totally it's own thing and doesn't sound like scandinavian languages
And yet Mike's accent was closer to how finnish people speak english, than the others
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and even Icelandic are all similar enough for us to understand each other, verbally and definitely in written text. Finnish is a completely separate language family. However, ironically enough, when speaking English even the Finns has a similar accent to the Scandinavian countries. Mike's generic Nordic accent sounded mostly Finnish, but I could give it a pass for a Swede, a Norwegian or an Icelander too. For some reason all we Nordic siblings sound similar speaking English =)
But the Finnish accent is a bit harsher (like the way Mike was so rough on those consonants), Swedish and Norwegian accents are softer, longer vowels, more sing-songy cadence.
I would love to see that monster in pads on a football field. If you put him at defensive tackle, teach him some basic techniques, and then tell him to pick up the guard and center and throw them both at the same time right into the QBs chest! Talk about a game wrecker!!
There was a video a few years ago where the Minnesota Vikings invited him to their facility and outfitted him in pads. Sadly he didn't actually play, but it was still an awesome video.
Hell yeah! But for which team?
Saw a young guy at the gym today, probably a teenager. He was doing deadlifs at like 100 kg. He went at it fast, rep after rep, no bracing, arching his back, no control over the eccentric just letting it fall and craziest of all he didnt seem to have any real muscle on his body. I thought to myself that if i did what he was doing my back would be toast for at least a few months and maybe forever! Crazy how being young kinda makes you immortal in some sense. I hope he learns before he hurts himself.
Hey everyone!
Stop at exactly 7:50 Min
And enjoy the view.
I've never seen something so magnificent.
It's like his whole hair tried to flee his face in virtually all directions possible.
I love every single detail about it
I just spend like a minute laughing while sitting on the toilet like a madman
"Tried to flee his face in virtually all directions" the perfect description lmao
I got a picture with him while holding my son when he was one years old. I titled the picture, " when the 3 strongest men in the world meet" We were all wearing kilts because it was at the highland games.
If you had him and Brain Shaw as bodyguards that would be insane.
RP ads are the only ads in the world I look forward to
It would be awesome if you reviewed denis cyplenkov's training
Got my RP versa’s today.. ❤️ them
