I'm watching it. He's looking good so far. Hall's record will be broken.

Some people think he's already lifted 500 kg in training. That way he can be pretty sure he'll lift it live.

Eddie held 500 kg for several seconds which really screwed him up. I think Eddie could have lifted 510-520 kg in 2016.

I agree. He was one of the most competitive and determined strongman.

He did it! I still think Eddie's went up more convincing. He struggled a bit at the top!

That was epic. I don't care if it wasn't in competition, 501kg is 501kg.

Lol, I knew they had beef but that was a surprise.

I don't like Thor's chances.

Yeah, but Eddie almost died. Thor casually strolled away.
True. No question Thor is a freak. 6'-9" (6'-8.5" really) and 450 lbs. Eddie was 6'-3" (6'-2" really) and 440 lbs. Thor did look a little red in the face in the interview. But that's to be expected. 501 kg is a huge weight. He weights 205 kg so that's 706 kg or 1556.4 lbs that his feet and skeleton has to support in the lift!

Žydrūnas Savickas did a 524 kg hummer tire deadlift in 2014 but that's nowhere near as difficult as 501 kg with a standard bar.

They have been talking about this for a while. Eddie grew up in a rough area and had to fight often so he won't be a pushover!

6 inch reach advantage from a 450 pound dude..

Id love to see him hit one of those bags that record the power.

Just the amount of sheer power is insane.. and isn’t only 31? So he’s got a few more years left in him .. wonder how high he’s gonna take this record

Badass, but 1kg??? Wish he was looking to decisively beat it. Like 20kg or more.

Awesome stuff! That is a lot of weight. I'm glad he didn't injure himself.

Agree with comments about the Eddie lift versus Thor lift. Thor made it look easy, whilst poor Eddie honestly looked like he had a stroke or something.

well, yea... Thor has had a couple of extra “minutes” to work on his lift.
