i mean if there's no good strong man in Icelands what they can do it's called Iceland strongest man not every other country's strongest man that's called world strongest man stop the hate they all can eat you up for breakfast if they wanted to and you can't do 50% of the weight they did
You guys are doing a far better job than those who are doing worlds strongest man. Truly a great show, and it was well organized and presented. Thank you for the free livestream too. To out 11 x time champ: Congrats Hafthor!
Not to take anything from the other competitors but this comp highlighted the difference between genuinely strong men and a world class strength athlete who at his absolute peak was probably the strongest man ever ( at least so far) and is still easily one of the strongest men alive
@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius 2018 Thor beat everyone. Even Shaw. 2018 was his peak, and he was quite possibly the strongest ever at that point. Even with the weakness in his pressing at present he is still comfortably top 3 competing today. If he gets his pressing back everyone else is screwed. The only things the likes of Mitch and Tom will be winning will be WSM and Giants live
@commentwarrior the facts are that if Mitch worked a bit more on his cardio he would probably do well at the actual crossfit competition at that same event.
@@robertmills6497 c'mon man. Wasn't the 2018 past way beyond the greatest that Brian Shaw has ever been? And also, if Hafthor won in 2018, does this mean that Eddie Hall or Brian Shaw cannot beat him in the future???
It’s so funny every time Thor comes to the US to compete. Everyone’s so excited to see what he can do but where he’s from everyone just gets pissed off that he keeps winning all the events. 😂
6:19 *"Greatest of All time" - Hjalti Arnasson* The legend said it all! Heartiest Congratulations 11 times Iceland's Strongest Man Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, and congratulations to all!
@@aaaaaaaaaa657 Nobody will replace him. There shall never ever be another Hafthor Julius Bjornsson. But there will be great athletes. Everybody will keep on training, competing and getting stronger.

@@aaaaaaaaaa657 top 4 contestants from last years icelands strongest man couldnt make this comp this year because they are either injured or training for other comps so the field was a little lighter than normal
You should think about making a reaction channel. There’s one special video called “savant learns how to speak Icelandic in a week” it would be cool to see you react to that
Not the 501. He couldn't anyway because that's suited. He won't beat his raw record either, because he'll only do enough to win, which is probably 1000 lbs. The outright raw record was on the Elephant Bar anyway. A record will be done at the show, but not those records.
The country with the strongest humans per capita on Earth and Hafpthor easily dominates lol. That goes to show you just how powerful this dude really is.
@@jamesmaitlandstewart08 but if you are saying its difficult to win the icelands strongest man than worlds strongest man beacause thor competes in icelands and not in in wsm than i agree
it's the icelands strongest man not the whole world if thor is way stronger what can they do ban him it's like saying jon jones is to good for the ufc he winnis every fight i feel bad they should ban him :D
@@Johnnystammy That was a great episode. It was also the joke I was going for. Too bad the other person who commented on my thread, took what I said so seriously. Oh well.
@@awallner1 Hey man let's just taste the sweet amongst the sour shall we? I saw you, I understood your joke and it brought me some humour so thank you. 🙂
I was asking the same thing but to be honest, if he weren't in this most of us wouldn't be paying the least bit of attention to this event. So it's good publicity even though the other competitors have zero chance of winning.
@@Nirsterkur no that's not an excuse. They used straps in the deadlift so that saves their grip for the frame carry. Even with the straps they could still barely pick it up. So the whole it's fawwww don't mean shit. And if this is the so called pro level you should be able to pick up 700+ without them.
i mean if there's no good strong man in Icelands what they can do it's called Iceland strongest man not every other country's strongest man that's called world strongest man stop the hate they all can eat you up for breakfast if they wanted to and you can't do 50% of the weight they did
@sbon3g did I say I could at any point say I could do better? I said the comp ain't that good compared to what's coming for thor! It was ovulas he was going to win easy! But won't be like that in big comps to come! So stop being butt hurt lol 🎉
This comp is Thor letting his buddies come over and play with his toys.😂
But he wants to win though! LOL, it's like WHY?

Thor's deload day.
What a FANTASTIC event. Congratulations on the 11th ISM title. Calm before the storm to SMOE 🔥🇮🇸

Every time Thor grounds a deadlift I catch myself thinking he's going for another rep...
Looked like he wanted too
7:25 That dude's really enjoying that slice of pizza.
Congratulations King!!

When did Hafthor pass beyond Brian Shaw?

Jeez that 380kg deadlift went up like a paper clip 💥
Yeah😊
It's likely an 80%.lift for Thor, maybe less
In his current shape, anything under 420 will look ridiculously easy
@@Bigramthalt einfach die fresse
@@Bigramtyou think he’d be deadlifting 475 atm? I think 450 is the limit for now. Maybe 460. He needs a little time still to be ready.
@@DarthPlegaus I think 470-475

A nice even training session for thor
Lets go Champ🥇 Hafthor the best🏆
You made 840lbs look like baby weight you are insane man keep it up and stay safe!
Fantastic and totally awesome, all the lifters but Thor obviously is in a different world 🤙🏻💪🏻
Well done champ! You make it look really easy!
What a treat to see Hafthor up close. A National icon of strength.

Its good that Hafthor won, but then again if he wins by such a large maragin, then what is the future of strongman for Iceland, who will replace him ?

Great contest! Congratulations on an easy win! Viking Power!!

Congratulations Thor Jón Páll Is Proud 🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I saw the stream earlier, really strong show. Congratz Thor 🎉
I think it's funny how no one is surprised that Thor made that first 325kg, everyone expected it 😂
To be fair Thor is repping 380 without a suit in training. This whole comp was just a moderately heavy training session for SMOE at th Shaw Classic
Amazing performance! It's interesting to see how much preparation and effort goes into each event. Keep up the great work! ☮️❤️
Great behind the scenes content! 💪🏻
Saw both day 1 and 2 livestreams! Congratulations GOAT! The others also gave their best shot but there was no chance.
The 105 Giant Dumbbell looked easier than the 90 Kilo nice 💪
Congratulations on winning! All your hard work paid off champ.
T-shirt is brilliant
your deadlift form is absolutly perfect, you are born for that, i think wr elephant bar and wr dl never be broken except by you
Awesome editing 🔥
Thor at least pretend the weights are heavy.
Like kratos he only struggles to appear human to others. 😂
Awesome brother
feeling good feeling strong!
this isn't a competition for Hafþór. it's just another day at the gym
Man, the beard is looking clean Haftor!
Gym reaper casually in the crowd is gold 😂😂
That guy is so fucking annoying
@@mustang8206yh thinks he’s tough saying he will knock people out and stuff
Definitely saw some double dipping
You should think about making a reaction channel. There’s one special video called “savant learns how to speak Icelandic in a week” it would be cool to see you react to that
hafthor is just warming up for Shaw's event where once he said he's going to break his own deadlift record!! 🥶🥶🥶
It’s gonna be at rogue in November
Strongest Man on Earth
Not the 501. He couldn't anyway because that's suited. He won't beat his raw record either, because he'll only do enough to win, which is probably 1000 lbs. The outright raw record was on the Elephant Bar anyway. A record will be done at the show, but not those records.
Thor's deadlifting 380kg and behind him is a tiny child trying to do some tricep pushdowns hahaha!!
All giants start from somewhere so like a 80s inspirational movie let's see what the kid has. 😂
Go Iceland 🇮🇸 ❤
The difference between workd class strongmen and country class strongmen is insane
Thor will also win SMOE!
Sunday pull of 380... Not too much neural activation.
I love the commentator 🦾
6:00 That man is super strong with his size.
Congratulations God!
Am I the only one who likes during the intro adds
Big Bake witnessing the tear 😢
Thor is just bullying these guys let’s be honest. Man is in another league.
9:10 big baker in the crowd, looking forward to the vids of collab
Let's face it.. Your a beast compared to the rest.. Warm up it looked like.
The country with the strongest humans per capita on Earth and Hafpthor easily dominates lol. That goes to show you just how powerful this dude really is.
4:45 your ready! for university's strongest man👍go get them. 🥇🥈🥉I can't tell who out of you top guys will win. Your in for battle. HAVE FUN
It just occurred to me that it is easier for someone to win world's strongest man than winning Iceland's strongest man.
They are hardly deadlifting 300 kg 😂
No one is world class other than thor pls stop
If that is the case then thor is going to win brian shaw's competition with no problem
@@jamesmaitlandstewart08 but if you are saying its difficult to win the icelands strongest man than worlds strongest man beacause thor competes in icelands and not in in wsm than i agree
Thors dad could win strongman
Anyone that has ever competed in any recent worlds strongest man would smoke any of these guys except Thor easily.
Epic beard now!
I can't believe the jumps going from 80 to 90 to 105 and now he's saying 110. That's crazy for a dumbbell press
😂😂😂 Thor finished the dead lifts before they could start cheering
Not much competition. Need more Thor's.
That was a close competition
Kind of feel bad for the other competitors. It's like Darryl strawberry playing in the minors.
it's the icelands strongest man not the whole world if thor is way stronger what can they do ban him it's like saying jon jones is to good for the ufc he winnis every fight i feel bad they should ban him :D
I don't even know baseball but I'm grateful I watched enough Simpsons to understand that's a dope player.

Why is Eddie not competing???
he loves talking all kinds of shit😂
Because he knows he will get re-*desolated the fuck out!*
Palmi was impressive
are you just using this as practice?
Na, not even… Thor is just using this as his stretching 🙆🏻♂️, for the Shaw World Strongest Man event 💪🏽‼️🤣

stronk
Gakktu frá hafhi. ❤
Where is Benedict Magnuson
You had to invite Kane or undertaker for 2nd event 😂
💪💪
Feel like certain athletes at a level need to leave comps like this for others
For fk sake they are some strong Vikings there
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷Thor 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Honestly what’s the point of competing? All know you’re the worlds strongest man already!!!
As if we don’t already know who is Icelands strongest Viking.
❤✝ CHRIST IS RISEN ☦❤
🏋♀🙏✝ GOD GIVES US STRENGTH ☦🙏🦾
Hafthor become fullthor
Sorry man but trying to do this joke has been overused.
Anyone know Thor's current weight? Looks to be a solid 420-430lbs at least...
Most of the athletes can barely fuckin deadlift 770 how the actual fuck are they goin to carry it!?!
Did you notice it's Raw grip?
@@Nirsterkur no that's not an excuse. They used straps in the deadlift so that saves their grip for the frame carry. Even with the straps they could still barely pick it up. So the whole it's fawwww don't mean shit. And if this is the so called pro level you should be able to pick up 700+ without them.
I'm getting knee straps for light weights.
So the other competitors are going for second place, which they will class as first, being no way they will beat Thor
Are deadlifts raw or with suit?
Does doing this comp give him a built in excuse if he loses SMOE?
Thor, how much are you weighing at the moment?
🇫🇴🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🇫🇴
9:39 guy in 16 t-shirt who is hee
does anyone know the brand of his soft belt it doesnt look like cerberus or evolution athletics
SBD
No Eythor?
unfair :D
First
To be honest these guys could not lace tom stolmans and hoopers boots! dont mean anything man!
i mean if there's no good strong man in Icelands what they can do it's called Iceland strongest man not every other country's strongest man that's called world strongest man stop the hate they all can eat you up for breakfast if they wanted to and you can't do 50% of the weight they did
@sbon3g did I say I could at any point say I could do better? I said the comp ain't that good compared to what's coming for thor! It was ovulas he was going to win easy! But won't be like that in big comps to come! So stop being butt hurt lol 🎉
The weights are wrong for the other competitors, 6 reds, a blue and change =/=360kg :/ Still, Thor #1 regardless lol
You could have opened with 400 or so on the deadlift and then just sit back and relax :)
kind fit kinda fat. hahaha love that shirt
👎👎👎👎
