It’s like a leg press stance I do it that way sometimes and it is much more comfortable to do I’m 6’8” 300 lbs and can deadlift any style but that wider than conventional but not sumo feels like a leg press. It’s interesting. You need a ton of lat strength too because you’re getting closer to a snatch grip pull but not quite there either. Having a bit tummy forces you to change things up a bit.
@@SergiuNw It's neither conventional or sumo. It's more of a hybrid deadlift stance of sorts. His feet are outside his shoulder width so it's not conventional but still not sumo because his grip is outside his stance. Peculiar but if it works, it works.
@@gabbeskillz6262 I wouldn't say that, he took a close 2nd in this latest 2021 WSM. He probably has the drive to keep going well into his 40s. I think it's taken a couple years to get his deadlift back up but he's back at lifting over 1,000 lbs in practice.
@@TheArrowedKnee he could have several years ago, but not now. He couldn't get close to his prime without quite literally killing himself in the process.
Firstly he deadlifted 981 quickly here, he could have gone heavier. Secondly he can’t deadlift anywhere near that anymore he doesn’t train for strength now.
@ShadowTron I presume he could probably do mid 800s now, personally my deadlift strength doesn’t fall off as quickly as other lifts but then again I’m not deadlifting 1000lbs+ 😂
I do not accept that Hafthor lifted 501 kilos, because he "did" it at home. To me, it is Eddie Hall who has the record of 500 kilos, because he did it at an official event.
Dosen't matter what you accept or not. Facts is facts, Thor lifted 501 kilos and has the world record. And he diden't do it at home, he did it at his gym.
@@mikeanthony706 Oh yeah geared up to 455 pounds with his father weighing out the plates for him to lift it in his own personal gym. Thor is a crybaby. He double dipped half of his Viking Press reps in 2017. They only didn't give him 3 (should've been 7) and he claims he was robbed of the event. What an idiot Eddie won the previous event and got to go after Thor regardless. If Thor did one more Eddie would just beat that to still win the event.

if youve ever been to a wild life preserve or zoo and been next to a lion breathing or roaring...this is the human equivalent when they yell lol its a different kind of loud if you ever been to a strong man. these guys are literally animals
Mitchell just pulled 966 basically same restrictions. So pretty high up there with the all time greats. Thor just pulled 991 and looked like he had another 50lbs in the tank.
Straps reduce the range of motion by allowing the bar to slip down to the second knuckle (figure 8 can even allow the bar to drop to the fingertips). The rules and judging are waaaayy more forgiving in strongman (hitching is allowed, suits are allowed sometimes, straps as discussed, some lockouts are questionable, such as Eddie's 500 which he never fully locked out). All of these tend to reduce the work done at a similar weight.
Deadlift should be about raising the same weight but the height the bar start at should be proportional to the athlete attempting the lift. Eddie has as a clear advantage here being shorter than Brian. TBH hip height is what matter the most. Having a combination of short legs and long arms make you travel the weight for a shorter path
My son has autism been picked on for years he is now a senior in high-school and can out lift the whole football team I would love a signed shirt bye you to give to him he is a big fan
Eddie got 3rd overall with 2 dislocated fingers throughout the final, couldn't even do the frame carry because of the injury. Should have been his first WSM win.
Its nuts that these dudes are the same age as me here or 1 year apart and yet they all look 10 years older than me and are absolute machines and im a twig lol
One of these men is full of costco bison, and the other is fully hydrated
impossible. eddie can never be fully hydrated. he would be lifting 2,200 pounds for reps if he was fully hydrated.
If that’s the case then Eddie must be full of Costco bison lol. Get that guy some cranberry juice, stat!
Imagine if you fed a bison nothing but cranberry juice and bison then basted it in cranberry juice served on a salad of cranberry sauce and bison?
😂😂😂
Mmmm
Before this deadlifting session, Eddie and Brian ate the entire village’s food supply for lunch.
and drank their water
I also heard they swam the Atlantic sea as their warm-up
And 12 children
Little did we know at the time, these two would become friends and two of the largest toddlers on the planet.
They were already friends here
this was 2017 they were already friends lmaoo
Oh I didn't know.
ahahahahahahha
World's strongest toddlers.
There were two certainties back then. If Z was on a log, it was going up. If Eddie was doing a deadlift it was going up.
Big Z and logs is just ridiculous. Imagine overhead pressing 502 lbs

Thank you so much for uploading. I’ve been watching this every week for motivation before I deadlift. So inspiring.
Brian in his prime here specifically in his deadlift
That hamstring tear really ruined his chances in winning an deadlift event...
Jude Scott- wasn’t the hamstring tear in 2019? And didn’t he pull his equal deadlift pr at that event?

Not with ease don't u see their faces
@@Mystery-o9gYou show that innocent comment who is boss and correct the ever-living hell out of them!
say what you wanna say but Eddie deadlifting is poetry in motion
Yeah man it's beautiful
I bet if he really wanted he could take back the record, although some people don't really count Hafthor's record either since it was in his home gym.
Beast can if he really wanted to but he is happy with his life at the moment panting Shaw on camera 😂@@TheArrowedKnee

JF Caron never won a title and often gets overlooked but he is such a fucking monster.
He sure is. He is also like 100 lbs less than those 2 guys
@tylergriffin7012 That’s because he’s Canadian.
I love the end you can really see how both, they go back a ways together.. and, the mutual respect esp from Eddies expression you can tell..

What dude?
Eddie Hall's raw power is another level man, its crazy.
Back when 981 lbs was too heavy for Eddie Hall.
Now it is a piece of cake.
he can't lift anywhere near 980 lbs anymore
@@J.c410 He can. He broke the Deadlift world record(500kg). In 2017 WSM he Deadlift 473 kg against Thor and he won.
Firstly he deadlifted 981 quickly here, he could have gone heavier. Secondly he can’t deadlift anywhere near that anymore he doesn’t train for strength now.
@ShadowTron I presume he could probably do mid 800s now, personally my deadlift strength doesn’t fall off as quickly as other lifts but then again I’m not deadlifting 1000lbs+ 😂
Jaren Montaos he uploaded a video of him deadlifting last week where he just about managed to pull 800.
They are both legends.
Brian is a BEAST bro.
Right! To lift that at his height having to bend over that far is more amazing
And after doing the 959 which Eddie skipped. That’s insane.
Brian has to go so low and lift so high, it's crazy!
I do not accept that Hafthor lifted 501 kilos, because he "did" it at home. To me, it is Eddie Hall who has the record of 500 kilos, because he did it at an official event.

Scrolled thru a ton of comments and no one mentioning how Eddy didn’t lock out that 981. Shocking he got credit for that lift.
This competition is a joke one is using elbow straps and the rest using knee pads and a wider stance 😊
Brian is raw power and will power. Unstoppable combo.
The sheer size of Brian always amazes me. I want to see him play Thor in a movie one day.
Thor the marvel version of Tor, god of thunder? I rather see him as kingpin
@ You know what? That actually wouldn’t be half bad.
That thumbnail is when brian is taking a poop.
So we have “The Mountain” from Game of thrones and two RUclipsrs 😆. Who would have known
2:37 this guy is from my country i didnt think i would see Georgian in this video btw he can deadlift 480 kg now
You guys are so good in sports
The commentators sounds like some beyblade anime 😂😂
This is when the luv and mutual respect started 💖
Brian is the king
These guys are making the sport much more popular.
Hafthor really surprised me not doing the lift.
So this is where their halarious friendship began! Love the 2 monsters
These two together are magic.
makes you wonder how thor even lifted 501 🤣
home made 501 lift, thats how
He didn’t 😆 .
He got stronger, genius
@@PauIdenino yeah, stronger, 501 lift in home with homemade weights, for sure it was legit XD

That’s crazy deadweight lifting y’all really insane power that these guys possess 💪💪💪💪👏
So if they tie do they both get first or second when it comes to the point system?
First, they get 9.5 points each, if they didn't tie one would get 10 pts and the other 9
Crazy how Hafthor was first to get eliminated, but now holds the deadlift world record..
Proves Eddie is and was a better deadlifter. Period

Same here.
Wise strategy to take the points tie at the end there. Too many more events to go.
African Villager was heard saying......"See, i told you there are other people"
What is this competition some are using elbow straps and some are doing a wide stance 😂😂😂

Thor just pulled 991 and looked like he had another 50lbs in the tank.
They were in Botswana
Looks straight out of a cartoon, unreal how much weight people can lift
Did you have to use that as a thumbnail? lol
Good thin Botswana produces so much beef to allow these men to sustain themselves for couple hours.
if Eddie Hall was a natural lifter his max raw deadlift would be around his bodyweight 500lbs
In regards to the physics, what is the difference between these Deadlifts and Powerlifting dead-lifts?
Straps reduce the range of motion by allowing the bar to slip down to the second knuckle (figure 8 can even allow the bar to drop to the fingertips).
The rules and judging are waaaayy more forgiving in strongman (hitching is allowed, suits are allowed sometimes, straps as discussed, some lockouts are questionable, such as Eddie's 500 which he never fully locked out).
All of these tend to reduce the work done at a similar weight.

Where's Anatoly?
Taller guys are in a huge disadvantage in deadlifts, which makes Brian Shaw’s performance that more impressive!
No, leverage matter, Hafthor has the world record and is even taller
Brian was a beast back then.

What an amazing Athletes 😮😮
I hope they get cast as space marines. They have the perfect frame for it.
Jesus dude these guys are insanely strong! Deadlifting 4x my weight lol
