Bless you Hafthor. That line about giving all those tips with a full heart, wanting everyone to be at their best... That is why you are the best man. And this trio is golden!!
@A.A.Ron Davis Never seen Big Z throw ? Check the Europe Strongest Man 2013 on RUclips. Insane speed and power in the keg toss. Or at WSM 2012 (in 2013 he was even faster) ruclips.net/video/8CwkWwG48UI/видео.html
My favorite thing about strongman might be that the guys universally seem to want to make each other better and help them on technique/training/diet/anything. It's pretty awesome.
Wise words at the end. Pushing through a hard day when you're not feeling it can be an easy way to injure yourself. Stay strong, but above all, stay injury free.
"When you're training, even though things don't go your way, that's fine. Accept it and move on, and get ready for the next session" Wise words to live by
To be an elite athlete You have to have that mindset, Thor trains his ass off every day in the gym and put his whole body thru hell for preparation (eating insane amount of food, steroids,etc) and he does all this just to shine one day or two in a year (wsm, Arnold)
@@riquelme1088 yes bro strongman takes a lot of time, energy and money it's really insane. but i think it's also a journey and not only for the competition days
I appreciated the Deadlift advice a tonne as this is the main exercise I'm focused on getting better at, aiming for 100KG by the end of the year, currently at 75KG
Hey thor I just saw that interview you gave on the mulligan brothers channel. I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I'm sure I speak for everyone when i say we are cheering for you to see your daughter again man. Stay strong brother.
bittercottoncandy The mother of his daughter (Thelma Björk Steimann) has custody of her, because of this: grapevine.is/news/2017/06/26/hafthor-the-mountains-ex-girlfriend-claims-he-violently-abused-her/
Yes, it was such an emotional interview. So glad that he frequently meets his daughter now. He often travels to Denmark and at the very moment I'm typing this comment, his daughter is in Iceland, spending some awesome family time with Thor and family. ❤️
Love watching you so happy RUclips has given so many different people a platform to learn and help it so many ways otherwise none off us would of had the chance to see this type of stuff love you Thor keep it up don’t push it to far we want you in a healthy place 🤗
I'm relatively new to lifting, but totally agree with what you're saying in regards to treating all reps with respect regardless of weight... I've found this jumped my max reps up a notch since it's reinforcing muscle memory and warming me up properly... Good job bigman
That's right Halfthor💪 Rest is important Over training will break you down. Smart, listening to your body. That's why Halfthor is a one of a kind pro, because he knows when enough is enough and when to call it and let it go. Rather than to over do it and cause injury. Great video
That's a great business idea for Eddie!!! He could bottle his farts and sell them to his fellow strongmen to inhale before lifting. PS: My father new a fellow who used to bottle his farts and let them go on the train.
15:58 imagine hearing that behind you while walking through the woods with a sword and you look behind you and see a 6'10 400 pound viking running full speed with a 3 foot Danish axe
By no means I want to devalue that but you can see how smooth the bag came to fly. it didn't have too much momentum and Thor's dad basically "just" had to hold his hand open and let the bag smoothly drop into his arms while moving with it.
Your best video EVER. Great tips and insight. Great honesty about wave of fatigue and how quick it can swallow you. Your maturity is showing and is serving you well.
I would have been very impressed had you finished that entire medley. I was blown away that you were attempting all of that to begin with lol. Training is exactly that, you're training something. Lots of good work was still achieved.
Hafthor!!! You are the man!!! You have a lot of fans in the Polynesian community brother!!! My friend Heidi Campo came to visit you guys a few years back and she stayed with Magnus. She had a blast!! I can’t wait to come out there and train with you one of these days!!!! Stay healthy!!!💪🏾🤙🏾 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
I was yelling encouragement during the stone lifts. Listening to your body is going to work best. Getting enough recovery is more important than the workouts from what some have said.
8:48 COULDN'T AGREE MORE! Who wants to win on a technicality?? You want to win against the best, when they are at their best!!! That's a true champion!!!
All the eerie creaking when he was doing the deadlifts, I kept waiting for something to break. It was unsettling. I've not heard that before in a video and the "Mom" in me kept saying "go sit down, you're doing too much to fast." LOL Hope you have continued success with your training. 🏋🏻♂️💪🏻👍🏻
When are you getting Joe Rogan on your show? He talks about Thor all the time on his podcast. If he was invited to Thor’s gym, he wouldn’t be able to say no.
Helped me a lot to hear these honest words hafthor 💪🏽 i am coming out of an injury in my hamstrings and my squat strength suffered the most.. Dont know why.. But i think i should put my ego away sometimes as you did and being smart and focus on getting my technique better now until i feel ready to go heavy again
Your training is harder than the competition. That is good. It means that when you compete it will feel easy but the downside is you might feel like this like you did at the end of this video. Keep on pushing through.
So, your technique is as if your smashing hour heels into the ground. I tried your way and my starting position felt WAY better. I can't wait to go heavier to see what I can really do. Thanks!!
Rest, massage, stretch, food,......take care of yourself......no one, not even the mighty Thor, can do anything to be more than human, just the way we like him....... :)
Wow! This year's (2020) W.S.M. will be so exciting to watch. Everyone is looking really strong this year. Your looking stronger all the time. **Thor's Power**
Thor thinks we would turn off because of "light weight"? I'm here for his personality/humour first and weights second 👍
Yeah I agree. We already know that he’s super strong 💪
Eddie Hall is more fun to watch in terms of humor imo
Anthony Smith completely agree
The sound of Thor's belt creaking as he braces into tension for his first deadlift of each set is fuxking beautiful.
James-Paul Martel the best ASMR
Yeah its like bum sex no homo
Especially since you can only hear him and what he’s doing
Yeah something satisfying about that sound
It scares children
Bless you Hafthor. That line about giving all those tips with a full heart, wanting everyone to be at their best... That is why you are the best man. And this trio is golden!!
Very true.
His English has gotten much better , keep it up Thor 💪
That’s where the money is.
Rue ridge with English speaking humans?
"But, don't turn off already even though it's light deadlift" (deadlift is heavier than most people would ever dream of lifting)
Yep, 300 is a big benchmark for most
I think 300 is benchmark for some. 200 are for most
@@Flammefaen I think 300 is a benchmark for serious lifters roughly above 82 kg weight class. 700lbs or 317kg for freedom lifters.
Only fools would doubt the Mountain.
Believe in the Thor that believes in Martins!
Flammefaen maybe for casual lifters. 200 should be doable for most within a couple years of training. Took me less than two years.
Thor, don't under-estimate your fans. We will not turn off the video until it is over. Then we await the next notification. Thor Power.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻💯💯💯
“I’m a bit gifted at throwing.” Understatement of the century!
Helps that they are both quite tall

Throwing the world's strongest man
A.A.Ron Davis don’t forget about Max after the Arnold’s just gone!
@@timariaans1710 Is the top weight keg only 65lbs though? It's hard to see in the video. Most of the guys today can huck a 65lb keg like nothing.
"If I can give them some tips, I love it" - This is why we all love Hafthor, the spirit of a true strongman. One of the all time greats.
My favorite thing about strongman might be that the guys universally seem to want to make each other better and help them on technique/training/diet/anything. It's pretty awesome.
Wise words at the end. Pushing through a hard day when you're not feeling it can be an easy way to injure yourself. Stay strong, but above all, stay injury free.

18:20 She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes...
Kudos to you. Thor should've commented back to you. Give you heart or something.
I salute you sir, or mam.
18:38 Thor's dad going for the crash mat... 🤣
4:52 “this is my technique and I like it and I love it.”
I’m not sure why but this had me cracking up.
15:34 Best part 😂 We love you Thor ❤️
❤️😂❤️
Thors mindset is just as impressive as his strength. Keep up the good work !
To be an elite athlete You have to have that mindset, Thor trains his ass off every day in the gym and put his whole body thru hell for preparation (eating insane amount of food, steroids,etc) and he does all this just to shine one day or two in a year (wsm, Arnold)
I admiré the mindset of him and all the athletes, i'm a hard worker man and i dream Big but this people on a whole other level bro
@@riquelme1088 yes bro strongman takes a lot of time, energy and money it's really insane. but i think it's also a journey and not only for the competition days
19:23 The Mighty Kelsey practicing lifting Hafthor's laundry basket
I dunno man that's a bit sexist 😂😂😢
The video could be about Hafthor doing his taxes and I would still watch. Hafthor is life.
No disrespect to Thor, but that’s a crummy life.
@@JosephQPublic says who?
Same here. 💪🏻
I appreciated the Deadlift advice a tonne as this is the main exercise I'm focused on getting better at, aiming for 100KG by the end of the year, currently at 75KG
Thor: just gonna be lightweight deadlifts today
*300kg+ for reps*
Crazy when you think he can add another 150+kg, which a lot of gymbros can't even deadlift in general, and still do reps.
@@TheStraightestWhitest I'm 47, not even sure if I could deadlift 150kg. The size and strength of these giant strongmen always astounds me.
@@jstoli996c4s Exactly. My dad is strong as fuck, and I'm not sure he could do it either. He can do 130 comfortably, but 20kg is a lot to add.
Hey thor I just saw that interview you gave on the mulligan brothers channel. I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through. I'm sure I speak for everyone when i say we are cheering for you to see your daughter again man. Stay strong brother.
He just posted on his Instagram of her ice skating. Super cute, you could tell he was really proud.
I don't know but I hope people don't speculate and just offer support!
Who could stop him? Nobody would ever get in his way
bittercottoncandy The mother of his daughter (Thelma Björk Steimann) has custody of her, because of this: grapevine.is/news/2017/06/26/hafthor-the-mountains-ex-girlfriend-claims-he-violently-abused-her/

Looking absolutely massive. I hope you all have a great year, and thanks for sharing.

Good job bigman
13:52 "Im only 196 and a half.."
95Geli that is kg😂😂 Wtf
One small boy
Almost 200 kg?! Damn
I think him and Brian Shaw are about the same weight
presque isle he weighs more than Brian right now
That's right Halfthor💪
Rest is important
Over training will break you down.
Smart, listening to your body. That's why Halfthor is a one of a kind pro, because he knows when enough is enough and when to call it and let it go. Rather than to over do it and cause injury.
Great video
20:40 smelling your own farts after eating Mexican food
So basically, me all afternoon. Horrible
Lmaooo
Bruh😂😂😂😂
That's a great business idea for Eddie!!! He could bottle his farts and sell them to his fellow strongmen to inhale before lifting.
PS: My father new a fellow who used to bottle his farts and let them go on the train.
Wrecka Stow go out side gremlin gopher hole dweller
Dude.... ain’t nobody gonna stop watching , your a beast !! And your humble as fuck ....
15:58 imagine hearing that behind you while walking through the woods with a sword and you look behind you and see a 6'10 400 pound viking running full speed with a 3 foot Danish axe
Lmao
just slender 400lbs? he's 433 currently
Asura yeah he’s actually bigger than Brian for once
And i thinks he is 6’9
Æðöþør Sölþå he’s always had more muscle than Brian. Brian’s just carried more fat throughout his career
Love the honesty of all your training sessions! Huge fan here bruv
dont ever apologize you are amazing at what you do and as a person! Keep it up!
I really like the fact that you are working out with your father👍
Thor’s dad casually catching like 90lbs or something.
he's a 2m giant too tho
By no means I want to devalue that but you can see how smooth the bag came to fly. it didn't have too much momentum and Thor's dad basically "just" had to hold his hand open and let the bag smoothly drop into his arms while moving with it.
floh667 Yeah it didn’t really have time to accelerate downwards.
Your best video EVER. Great tips and insight. Great honesty about wave of fatigue and how quick it can swallow you. Your maturity is showing and is serving you well.
Very true. So many great tips and advise for every level. I learnt so much.
I would have been very impressed had you finished that entire medley. I was blown away that you were attempting all of that to begin with lol. Training is exactly that, you're training something. Lots of good work was still achieved.
I'm a fan of the mountain , you being the WSM is just a added bonus.
Never going to turn off the vid , regardless of what you lifting.
Hafthor!!! You are the man!!! You have a lot of fans in the Polynesian community brother!!! My friend Heidi Campo came to visit you guys a few years back and she stayed with Magnus. She had a blast!! I can’t wait to come out there and train with you one of these days!!!! Stay healthy!!!💪🏾🤙🏾 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
Respect Thor!When i see you working that hard,it's never a fail.I'm an old powerlifter-keep up the good work Big Man!!!
I was yelling encouragement during the stone lifts. Listening to your body is going to work best. Getting enough recovery is more important than the workouts from what some have said.
It’s very weird hearing his gym silent, the sounds of his belt and weights feel more impactful and intimidating. Very cool
One reason I like this is because there's no annoying gym music.
Owen Thomas I agree I wish I didn’t have to listen shitty top what ever pop crap
Guys this was needed thanks I missed my last set today needed a reminder that its. Not always going to go as planned
I love you bro you’re the greatest and such an inspiration
Good call Thor, listening to the body is never wrong, a wise decision based on years with experience 💪
the monster comes to life !!! long live the mountain !!!
You are not a human... You are a Viking!!!
Other top strongmen are taking notes on Thor's throwing technique. But this is what makes Thor a great person.
I agree listen to your body!! Your working really hard ! All your hard work is definitely paying off
Good point about focusing on each and every set, thats what keeps the weights moving.
Thor on Joe Rogan podcast after winning Arnold Classic? Make this happen!
@Vegans Suck JRE is just good entertainment.
Vegans Suck explain
Rogan is 5'6" in heels.
OP in his dreams
So much Joe hate. Regardless, it would be a big platform for Thor to chat for 1-2 hours about whatever he wants.
Thank you for the reminder to double check positioning before lifting any weight.
Smart man listening to his body like that. 💪🏋️♂️🏋️♀️🏋️
8:48 COULDN'T AGREE MORE! Who wants to win on a technicality?? You want to win against the best, when they are at their best!!! That's a true champion!!!
We won't turn off because the weights are lower man! we like you and we are here too see you, weights come next. Keep working and get stronger🙏
All the eerie creaking when he was doing the deadlifts, I kept waiting for something to break. It was unsettling. I've not heard that before in a video and the "Mom" in me kept saying "go sit down, you're doing too much to fast." LOL Hope you have continued success with your training. 🏋🏻♂️💪🏻👍🏻
The one person who disliked is likely very dehydrated
possibly shit in his pants too.
And is likely also the deadlift world record holder...
@@Joeonline26 Benni loves Thor, so no
Would assume they're for the clickbait.
@@Joeonline26 The beast still is the record holder.
Thor: I'm only 196.5
Brah you weigh more in kilos than I do in pounds!
Great advice from a good man!
great joooob Hafthooooor,rest a bit and come back even stronger.Peace and love from Greece man
Consistence is the key....way to go hafthor 👍
Definitely, contistency is something we all need to improve.
I’m guessing there is more than sheet rock screws holding in that shelf,
Thor is at his peak, Arnold's and WSM are his for the taking. What a beast! Stay healthy big man
18:49 imagine if thor farted there
Thank you for your personal tips on Deadlift.
18:20 Climbing up The Mountain
I cannot wait to see you & Martins train soon
One of the best videos! interesting angels, full action... happy, explanations, technical... Awesome!!! Good edeting, sound! great!
A single human lifting 300kg off the floor several times in quick succession? Nothing special to see here, I guess...
Said nobody ever :D
It isnt at all for him.
474kg Is though...go try that
Nearly 500 lbs holy shit, you’re a beast bro! ✊🏽💯
so honest,,, smart, my hero
Your form looked very solid on deadliftt today. Keeping your hips low till the bar is coming up. Your focus and attention to detail always amazes me.
Thor making it reign!
8:52 - That is a guy secure in himself and abilities.
The modern-day honorable warrior. You can only be the best if you beat the best at their best.
We love you Thor 💪❤️!
The sound is awesome.... it feels like the floor is in pain
When are you getting Joe Rogan on your show? He talks about Thor all the time on his podcast. If he was invited to Thor’s gym, he wouldn’t be able to say no.
Would you collab with Brian shaw either at his new gym or invite him to thors power gym?
He has a family
harrisnutter they don’t get along too well, too competitive
S3NERGY X how many wsm titles does Thor have?
@@ncdozer3103 almost all the strongmen get along good together
@@Mooshimoca nah most of the other native English speakingwhite strongmen don't get on with thor
Take a break Hafthor . You know how important it is. Thanks to for great videos . My favourite channel .
I thought it was really great thanks for sharing your tips and your guidance on training I really appreciate it thank you!!!
Love your videos, always make my day.. stay strong 💪🏼!
don't beat yourself up over it bud , your beast , much love from the US!💪🏻
Helped me a lot to hear these honest words hafthor 💪🏽 i am coming out of an injury in my hamstrings and my squat strength suffered the most.. Dont know why.. But i think i should put my ego away sometimes as you did and being smart and focus on getting my technique better now until i feel ready to go heavy again
Awesome job big man!!! Your super fun to watch.
Thor has had so much progress lately; it's was almost a relief to see that he too is human
Your training is harder than the competition. That is good. It means that when you compete it will feel easy but the downside is you might feel like this like you did at the end of this video. Keep on pushing through.
great Training....great Video...thank you...
Some great advice from thor this episode!
So, your technique is as if your smashing hour heels into the ground. I tried your way and my starting position felt WAY better. I can't wait to go heavier to see what I can really do. Thanks!!
