3:53 Dear Thor, don't ever feel stressed due to us fan expectations. We fans are with you even if you take last place. We know you will do your best and you will still be THE KING.
Literally never seen anyone of his size come close to what he can get his body to do. The only people I can think of (even outside of his size) pull this sort of thing off are actors doing extreme weightloss/gain for roles. When Thor wrecked his foot at WSM and I saw him in a video a few months later, I never thought he would be back as he lost so much size.......then he came back bigger and better than ever. He is a freak of nature. (in an awesome way)
once you gain size and lose it, it is easier to get back than for someone to do it for first time. taking a few years off is good for the body. it is much better than what Brian Shaw did by continuing for over 10 years. If Brian took a year or 2 off he could have come back and won his 5th title.
Hi Thor, sending love to you Kelsey and your family from NYC! I visited your gym a few years ago, but you weren't in. I met your father and he was so nice. Thanks for the motivation!
There are elite of the elite, strongest human beings on this planet who dream of Deadlifting this weight, even after training for years and decades. This is Four Hundred and Forty kilograms or Nine Hundred and Seventy pounds: 440 (970). Then you have Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, who ripped his pec completely from the bone 9 months ago, doing this gargantuan weight like "Nothing", and if you think that's impressive, try to grasp what I'm about to say next: This incredible lift doesn't even make the Top 20 of Hafthor's best Deadlifts! Even if Hafthor does 453.5 (1000), it will still be his 14th heaviest Deadlift behind: 501 (1,105), 480 (1,058), 474.5 (1,046), 473 (1,043), 472 (1,041), 470 (1,036), 2*455 (2*1,003), 465.5 (1,026), 465 (1,025), 460 (1,014), 458 (1,011) and 455 (1,003). Some people just don't realize how incomprehensibly astounding this man is when it comes to Deadlifting! *Koma Svo* 👑 *Hafthor Julius Bjornsson! What a comeback from the last video!* #TheGOAT
There is a difference between DL'ing on a stiff bar without straps and a whippy bar like this. Superheavies in PL often squat more than they pull, because grip is the limiting factor.
AWESOME LIFT, no battle, still lots left in the tank ;-) ;-) Great mindset Thor, NOT to burn out ! ! Everybody loves to see you back in top shape, cheers form your oldest fan Franz, 62 years OLD and still lifting ;-)
Love to see the relationship between you and your father, Thor. Family is so important. Good luck at the Arnolds, do your best and don't worry about expectations, we're just happy to have you back!
Not even peaked before his FIRST comp back and already pulling just 7kg short of the winning deadlift last year. Love to see it! Edit: Plus without power briefs
@@paul_oliver_duggan29 Sure, but I was strictly comparing Hafþór's recent deadlift to last year's Arnolds. There is no doubt he is the biggest deadlifter in the line-up. Just thought it fair to point out that detail.
Glad you got through the baker's cyst Thor. I had one several years ago and unfortunately, I had to have surgery. All good now. Great to see you back to shape quickly.
Oh my brother, can´t tell you how happy and fired up I felt when I see the photo announce of your new video. 440 kg at this stage are very good news. We all have to take one or two steps back to regain power and go forward. Your videos are some of the best things in the net. You are blessed for being surronded by your family and friends. We will follow your vids no matter what; 1rst or 10th.. You are our CHAMPION.!! ⚡
That was epic. Great work. So glad to see the 440 go easy after you didn't go for the 430kg last week. I'm giving this video a full rewatch before my deadlifts on Friday. Super excited to see you competing again at arnolds.
440kg went up easier than the 413kg. Goes to show your strength is there, it’s clearing it in your mind and making up your mind of going all in. Glad to see you back Thor. I missed these videos.
@Hafthorjulius, don't worry about fan expectations, you're getting back into a world you took a long break from. It will take time. Just ease into it and focus on health. Slow and steady wins the race.
That's tough! When you slimmed down your weight and changed your trainings ! To coming back to get up above the 480kgs. It's not as easy as it seems but you got the whole world sending you strength and positivity, good energy to you Thor! You got this !!!!!
You wont have to do 460kg. We do expect alot, hut we also care alot. Take care of yourself. Continue taking your time building up. We want all of you guys there in the best shape we can watch you in.
I don’t think there’s another human being on this planet that can pack on such immense size and strength in the time period that Thor does. It’s nothing short of incredible.
You've done it all big fella there is no pressure anywhere but inside your own head time to have fun with it. The power that comes from positive thoughts and emotions and thoroughly enjoying what you do is unstoppable thats the gift of experience.
No pressure at all my man! You are doing you, and that it BY FAR the most important thing you can do. This is a passion that should sustain until you die, as stated on your shin. "There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift." Do what you need to do to be happy, healthy and strong!
LOVE to see you back in the sport, and honestly I have high expectations for you chasing major titles in 2025. For 2024, just do what you can. I don't expect you on the podium at the Arnold just because the guys are crazy. You're not back at your peak yet. Go, have fun, remind your body what this is about, and prepare for being top of the game next year.
Love this raw format training footage. I've been to Iceland twice and missed the opportunity to visit Thor's gym. I did get to lift the Husafell Stone and a few other historical stones. For sure, the next time I'm there I'll achieve fullsterkur status and visit your gym!
Frost giant, you look in top form, improving in every video, you got this champion, the whole world wants to see you win again in strongman, we're all behind you and believe in you Viking, set the world on fire , Viking power.
Hi Thor To me is amazing to see your come back to Strongman. Don't feel stressed, you made the best decision, when you decide to come back to strong man. Please continue your training and improve slow until you be unstoppable.
No pressure Fans will remain fans whether you win or come last. Nothing can change what you have accomplished in your life Do we think any different of Big Z or Brian Shaw when they eventually declined? No because they are legends and you are also with them Personally i think you can win,or at least podium. But if not? It's ok, the sport is much better with you in it and fans will remain fans I think you will do very well and i know you love to compete again. Just do your best and no matter where you place, you will be content Good to have you back champ 👊
All we expect is for you to do what makes you happy and what makes you feel good inside and out. I know youll kill it at the Arnolds and any comp you enter. Looked easy as hell at 440kg. We also want you in good health and there for your wonderful and beautiful family.
Superman/SuperDad is getting after it people, #RESPECT Demigod's do live amongst us. He goes by the name "THOR" Outstanding lift Iron Warrior. Bless 🙏 up from Brooklyn NY
Son Hafthor, there is a reason why everyone calls you the king. You took the right decision after your 948 failed, that is to rest and here you are succeeding at 969. I always predicted you will bring back the magical 1000 at the Arnold's. I believe in you and I pray for you. God bless you.
No one that knows anything about serious strength training expects you to hit the ground running like you were in 2020. Your training smart, and will peak later in the year, at the Rouge...its called training smart, good luck Thor!

Who wants to see 520kg?
Meeeee! God status! 🙏
Yeah
If anyone can, it’s you, man. Go for it!
Who wouldn't? Ain't no one else even getting close to that record!
Me!
3:53 Dear Thor, don't ever feel stressed due to us fan expectations. We fans are with you even if you take last place. We know you will do your best and you will still be THE KING.
🤝
Exactly this guy pushed the sport to new heights and has nothing left to prove. Everything else is icing on the cake as they say.
Definitely Thor for ever
If he lets fan expectations change his schedule is he really a pro?
I'd rather see him get last place at the Arnold's this year and then make history later this year and in 2025 than placing top 3 and risking injury
2:24 Kelsey does vocal work for a mythical beast
Good effort
The speed at which this man can increase in power, weight and strength is unparalleled in the world

It really surprises me how people make such assumptions… “he will never do it!”.. despite doing it multiple times in the past
Hi Thor, sending love to you Kelsey and your family from NYC! I visited your gym a few years ago, but you weren't in. I met your father and he was so nice. Thanks for the motivation!
Backs off 430, comes back to hit 440, just amazing!
You really need to get a new profile pic with you being back in strongman though.
He actually did, Thor reads the comments confirmed.
Hafthor with his dad is just so wholesome! What a family!
Perfect high quality resolution 💯💯💯 wow great quality video ❤

second strongest man ever
@@eu-daemonic No, Hafthor is the strongest ever. Him in his peak was stronger than Zydrunas, Brian, Eddie and everybody else all in their peaks.

It's going to be great seeing you at the Arnold. Viking Power!!

I beat you .... 64 5'10 173 and still pumping iron until I die. Keep on pushing. Lifting is for life. 😊
Love to see the relationship between you and your father, Thor. Family is so important. Good luck at the Arnolds, do your best and don't worry about expectations, we're just happy to have you back!
Keep smashing big fella. Not long before your back to your best.
Any plans to start streaming your workouts on twitch again? Really enjoyed the streams during your powerlifting prep.
I told he will comeback even stronger!
Hafthor gonna smash all records the strongest viking💪💪.
Not even peaked before his FIRST comp back and already pulling just 7kg short of the winning deadlift last year. Love to see it!
Edit: Plus without power briefs
True, but it should also be noted that the deadlift was the third event last year.
@@StrengthShowcase Thor broke the WR in 2018 with the 1041 in the fourth event, no briefs, and even the lift before the WR was 1011.
and being bummed out about it :D
True but let’s remember it was the third even and far from fresh comparators

Way to go big man coming back where you left off,but better & stronger way its looking.
You are making an amazing comeback in Strongman! And keep talking to your Dad about competition, we ALL want to see him in an epic grip comp!
You're a beast! 🙌🏼
Not the beast Eddie hall
@@rickysteinmetz6949 Eddie is namesake beast. Hafthor is a real beast.
I approve of the plate loading order, very aesthetic! 👍🏻
440 looked better than the last warmup before, wonderful
Unbelievable work man
Coming back fast and strong!
Love following your journey
So excited to see you competing again keep powering through
Much love keep going :D ❤
That 440KG was light weight babbbyyyy! You made that look so easy Thor, can see you breaking that half ton again very soon 😎
really enjoy hearing your psychology while you train. excellent.
so good to see you back training heavy at your own gym again, these videos are so good.
Love the videos! Slap a little text on top so we can see the weights always tho friend! Your compatriot was looking out for us on this one. much love
That's tough! When you slimmed down your weight and changed your trainings ! To coming back to get up above the 480kgs. It's not as easy as it seems but you got the whole world sending you strength and positivity, good energy to you Thor! You got this !!!!!

The Mountain returns!

That's insane especially given the timeframes
You are truley the strongest and most powerful.
Don't rush things or you'll get injured.
Thor, keep up the great work, brother. Win another World's!
Can we all just unanimously agree that "the King" should be his rightful nickname?

Hi Thor
To me is amazing to see your come back to Strongman. Don't feel stressed, you made the best decision, when you decide to come back to strong man.
Please continue your training and improve slow until you be unstoppable.
We love you thor! You are a great.
Congrats. Great lift

The kind of strength Thor has on his comeback is just mid blowing.
"Let's fu****g go..." Haha... that's the spirit... :D
That 440 moved nicely... there's more there...
The only problem Thor has is holding back! Love to see 520kg. love from Canada. Glad to see you back!
No pressure

Good to have you back champ 👊
Absolutely insane did it with ease 😮
The power of Thor is returning!💪
Eddie is not happy with this video😱
Eddie called the elephant bar a bullshit lift when Hafthor tried to take 501kg. Nothing is good enough for him. lol
Didn't eddie struggle to pull 465kg on that bar? @@stighaaland5357 🤣
Fatboy needs to focus on his tik tok and let the strongmen lift
Who cares, he is LGBT
@@stighaaland5357he thought nobody is gonna come closer to his 500 in his life time, that's why he stays grumpy
