@@joeysaks6516 He will not beat Thor on squat. Thor had a set of 10-12 in the tank on 325kg, paused & right after a 400kg squat. Mitch's 320 x 10 was absolute max effort with no pause & fresh. And Mitch's 392kg squat was hard, Thor's 400 squat was RPE 5 lol
@@thestrongmanhistorian Yes, the Shaw Classic and SMOE plus grip, Armwrestling ect make it a real weekend of strength sports. Brian is really building something special. Good Luck to him and his team.
Max already did 360 and even Handsome was repping 300kg. But since I also wanna do the Deadlift and Stone I decided to put the squats first while waiting for the last deadlift sessions. Didn’t want to bombard people with 3 videos at once.
For me, can Thor stay injury free? he's carrying years of lifting and had time off. Mitch Hooper would be willing to die to win, he's going to be tough to beat and not had as many years of abuse on his body as many others have.
I don't know who wins the squat at all. I think people are overestimating Thor's current squat shape when saying he will outright win, no contest. Most importantly there are so many athletes we have no idea what they are truly capable of on squat. super excited to see how this event and all the others play out!
I think Thor isn't at his best (when he squatted 1014 or whatever it was), but he is leagues ahead of everyone else aside from Hooper. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone gets through Hooper, Hatton, and Thor.

I will make the same video for the Max Deadlift and hopefully Max Stone. Subscribe so you won't miss it.
All the best! Wanna see both of them...
Nobody is beating Thor in the squat.
He did that 325 for 8 paused reps with such ease and control.
Now he did 380kg for 5 paused reps
@@drae6984 It's the heaviest paused set in history!
funny story...
If not for a pec tear Thor would have set a new all time record
Sir Hafthor will win both deadlift and squat. He is the strongest.
Ser Gregor Clegane THE MOUNTAIN
Love the video idea man! Keep them coming!
1. Thor
2. Lucas Hatton
3. Hooper
I agree those 3, but mitch wins

@@easteuropeanviking why r u so toxic in every comment just chill out 👍
Should be a great comp.
If it all goes well it will be the comp of the year.

thanks for the video mate
Everything is different when in competition, not in home gym filming and streaming...
Thor has put impressive numbers now.
Great weekend coming ahead
Thor #1
Everyone needs yo relax. Thor is just getting back into things. Your gonna have to wait until next year, when he peaks, to judge his strength.
Great video! Love seeing all squats in one place. Will you make more videos like this with other events?
Deadlift and hopefully Max Stone video in a week. Waiting for some guys to finish their last heavy sessions.
Yes, please do a video on their Max Deadlifts.
would have been cool to also see when each squat was done (uploaded) to give an idea how heavy everyone went at specific points in their prep
Fullthor incoming
How much can Thor squat ? --> "enough"
King Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson! 1:01 and 1:32 and 5:11 and 7:50 and 12:15 and 12:34 and 13:12
💯
I wanna see 400KG/882LBS at SMOE just to see the King destroying everybody.
I have to go with thor for the win, he squats more than everyone else and makes it look much easier. He also squats deeper than hooper for example.
The Witcher-esque music makes this the best video ever
Koma Svo Hafthor, show the whole world that you are the Best. Win in the Squat, coming up! 💪🏻👑❤️
Just hoping the event doesn't get botched like it did in 2021.
That was the whole thought process behind this. Brian was also unsatisfied with the Car squat.
Hooper is strong. But his squat is this weird combo of a partial sguat to a good morning, lol.
Gave him 10 reps while others couldn't even do half of him ..😂
Hoopers look a bit high
I mean, isn’t weed legal in Canada?
@@thestrongmanhistorianthis aged well 🤣
If there are no order shenanigans
1 Thor
2 Hatton
3 Hooper
4 Thompson
5 Boudreault
Honorable mentions: Tom and Matt Ragg
Mitch makes an entire video about the worst exercises being unstable ones... Also Mitch: Squats with banded plates wobbling all over. 😑
👍🏻👍🏻👀
I think the only thing Thor will lose points on is the overhead events as he’s still not there yet but everything else is looking strong! 💪
King Hafthor for the win!
That last squat seemed strangely easy.
He was going for a triple there but the spotter racked it too early.
@@thestrongmanhistorian I don't understand Thor's body.
@@vojtechkorhon4159 His genetics for strongman are far ahead of anyone we've ever seen. He can manipulate his body like he please
@@J.c410 his talent for strongman is really incredible.
Thor's power is a sight to behold. He will easily win the squat.
Went a little early on this. I bet we get several squats posted in the next couple days.
Max already did 360 and even Handsome was repping 300kg. But since I also wanna do the Deadlift and Stone I decided to put the squats first while waiting for the last deadlift sessions. Didn’t want to bombard people with 3 videos at once.
Witcher 3 music 👀 lol
Evan might zero this event. Thor is lookin smooth. Maxime is dangerous this comp and is in peak shape. Excited to see what Mr.Hatton does on the day.
Great events for Max. Honestly I wouldn't be that surprised if he podiums here.
@@thestrongmanhistorian Agreed! Would LOVE to see that, he deserves it.
He looked good at NASM recently@@thestrongmanhistorian
That's an understatement
Thor is King 🔥⚡
Thor and hatton whoever goes out second wins and I’m gonna say Bobby Thompson 3rd (see Arnold’s 2022)
Really doubt Hooper not finishing in top3
@@thestrongmanhistorian I think he might struggle with depth, half his training videos it looked like he wasn’t even getting to parallel
We have no idea what the implement looks like and the squats in strongman are never to depth. I don’t think that will matter.
Bobby doesn’t have the conditioning to win a reps event imo
@@cisrael468 he won deadlift for reps at rogue last year, his conditioning has been pretty good since he slimmed down
💪🙂🦍
Also, Tom has said he's done 370*2, He hasn't uploaded the footage though.
no video, no lift.
@@easteuropeanviking fair enough
@@Vipinnnn17 I believe him. 370 x 2 is hardly elite territory but it's decent. He will do better on squats than people think.
For me, can Thor stay injury free? he's carrying years of lifting and had time off. Mitch Hooper would be willing to die to win, he's going to be tough to beat and not had as many years of abuse on his body as many others have.
Man, love the Music ❤ Is it from Witcher!!??
Witcher, Skyrim, World of Warcraft and Halo
People are sleeping on Hatton for this one, Thor might be better for max but this is a rep event
Michelle Harper at 10:13 is one strong chic!
Lots of no-reps in this video.
Can Hooper beat Thor?
Nah 😁
I think Thor still wins the squat
He already has every time he competed against him....the question is..can thor replicate his old form with injuries?
Hooper is gonna win the squat, have you seen his legs
@@joeysaks6516 Thor's legs & glutes are bigger overall, Hooper just has more aesthetic quads
Thor
Funny how maxime can squat heavy with a weak deadlift,proves strength is not measured by ur deadlifts only
I’m in the same boat
11:55 the halo theme❤
I think Mikhail Hooprov has this event in the bag 🤣🤣
I don't know who wins the squat at all. I think people are overestimating Thor's current squat shape when saying he will outright win, no contest.

Thor never max out in training he did 400kg like nothing few days ago
It was supposed to be a triple with a few more in the tank...@@jameschristy9966
You have to also check Hafthor's 380 for 5 paused set! It was ridiculous!
Big z for the win lol i had to
Man squatted 320 for 12 at age 43. Even past his best he could squat with the best of em.
Iv seen thor squat 440kg you failed to show that nobody is beating thor for a long time
All these squats are from this prep. He squatted 440 like 5years ago.
Spoiler alert thor failed the squat hooper won 🏆 🫎
