I'm a big fan of Thor, but I have to admit that I have soft spot for my fellow Canadian. Moose is so dominant in the sport and so humble that it's virtually impossible not like him.
@@colargol8723 You're just strong in both lifts. There's almost zero correlation between them both. Plenty of top athletes have a weak axle press, but a strong deadlift, and vice versa.
I was thinking this when watching the deadlift at that Rogue event a couple of weeks ago. 6 odd years ago a 1000lbs deadlift would struggle to get you into the top 3. Now it wins by a comfortable margin!
@him050 The progression slowed down over the last 5 or so years. Guys all went for views, strength took a back seat. Then Mitch saw an opening. Those guys from the previous era would be crazy strong right now, without the interruption.

Not so humble. In fact, he's quite cocky.
Compare Hooper’s 410 to Thors, 450. It’s not even close
I think they both will. Mitch 505 Hafthor 510
What has axle press got to do with deadlift?
Axle press is good training for deadlift. 200kg axle press is 490kg deadlift
Strength and speed of the floor
@@colargol8723Literally not true
@philipgreen7456 I should know I do both my 150kg axles press makes me do 300kg deadlift

Hooper is obviously insanely strong but comparisons with a mutant alien like thor always seem unfair
Thor looks like he could have lifted that 749 10 times
what about will tennyson sumo style half their size
Mitch dies not hold form above 400kg
Mitch is just not big enough to be a strongman in an6 other era than this one.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard yet..
Great video! I think Hooper will be able to pull 505, but Thor will pull 510.
