Seems like 505kg ain't happening anytime soon at this rate. Damn. Makes Eddie's and Thor's records even more mind blowing.
just eddies..he holds it for last 7 years
@@powerzone7146 keep quiet thor in lncluded
@@powerzone7146exactly
gym records dont count.
@@wildgg neither should Eddies given he used his own equipment and picked his own attempts.
People forget that these guys arent anywhere near the size thor and eddie were when they lifted 500+. Eddie was 430 lbs and Thor was 450. The fact that hixxy got close at mid 300s is awesome.
Makarov needs to pack on more size to stand a chance, atleast 180+
Hicks is 5"10 thor is 6"9 pulling so you can see how much further he has to pull the weight in comparison Btw nice attempt
Он карлик,рычаги коротки хавтрр 2 метра его рекорд самый невероятный
Господи,ну зачем вамэто идиотство?
Eddie is 190 kg and thor is 210 kg
7 years on and people are still nowhere near 500 in terms of ease. Eddie seriously moved the goal post so far.
He did indeed. No home gym hero stuff in the real world of an actual competition
Less we forget Jamal brown with a 270 body weight pulled 500 and almost 505 recently
@@Andrew-is7rs lol salty thor hater here. Weighs were calibrated quit whining. Who cares if it wasnt in a competition.
@@MrTurbo87lx No little buddy, love the guy, what a specimen he is. Fabulous career, and shows you what can be achieved by hard work, clean living and mental strength. Cretins like yourself always stand in their shadow. My point is perfectly salient champ, recognised across the sport that Halls record IS the benchmark Annie, so calm yourself down and pull your knickers back up. K’ pud’ 🫶😘 You have a lovely week now
@@groundkramersumo 🥱
damn just being able to get 505kg to your knees is insaneeee.
It was the upper shin, nobody got it to the knees.
Ok
All the competitors did an amazing job in the attempt to break the world record. I wish them all the best. Records are made to be broken folks, let’s cheer all these strength athletes on!
Feels like pavlo has the raw size and genetics to do the 505, but he can’t seem to remain injury free. Injury free , I think he takes it to the next level. Hicksey has developed so much , would like to see him go for log and axle world records
I heard those two are Hicks goals
Indeed...Wide pavlo for the win!
Pavlo must be the unlickiest strongman, as soon as he recovers from an injury he gets in a car crash
Pavlo will have the record one day. He has the ability to push it too
agree. Pavlo is probably the only one that could do it. He has similar proportions as Thor.
I feel bad for Makarov, he’s attempted 500+ the most, yet I think he’s hitting his genetic limit
He needs more food and vitamins
@@budadi Lol okay.
You know a lot about genetics?
Yeah seems like you have to be naturally a big guy to lift +500kg
I almost wanna agree 😓 I feel bad for the guy naturally 💯 he's based his life around breaking this record.
I feel like Eddie and Thor were much more dedicated in their prep not to mention their exceptional physicality. Only Pavlo seems like he has the young age and immense size/strength to do it but only if he stays injury free.
100%. Plus Eddie goes all out with recovery. Seems the proof is in the pudding. No one is doing more than 500 for while yet.
@@TidyRC Yeah, a lot of guys in 480-490 club but 505 seems to be physically and mentally out of reach. Guys like Rauno are talented but not young enough to make significant progress. Others like Hicks aren’t large enough to pack on mass. Looks like we have to wait for Nakonechnyy or sone other giant .
hes in the hospital, car crash. Gonna take a while
Thor did not do his in a compo, Eddie did. Thors is not a WR, Eddies is and that is why everyone is still trying yo beat Eddies record and not Thors
They are also just much much bigger guys . That have put in the work.
Wow! Just goes to show how mind blowing Eddie's lift was!! 6 years ago! And at the time, no one was even thinking about 500kg! He didn't look to just beat the current record, as he had several times before, he set a milestone! Absolutely insane. Without a doubt one of the greatest lifts in history!
crazy right? 7 years later and no one has even come close to breaking Eddie's record.
2016...somebody will break it very soon
@@gojira444 Uhm... Hafthor literally broke it.
@@manne8575 what competition was that again?
@@gojira444 Bro I like Eddie too but just accept that his record was broken, it's officially recognized and the plates were calibrated.
They all got it off the ground... that's impressive by itself.
makarov is such an absolute unit
hope he can actually do it the fame and money would deffy be good for him to retire and life a good live hes been chasing this for years and he is always trying to peek with his PED cycle so we will see next year
@square7935 he peaked too early i think.
Daaaamn. He is a monster. Looking almost shredded at that bodyweight, wtf
Everyone looked strong man i got chills when Hicksy was walking out for that WR i thought he had it for a second there
I think 505kg is unattainable for Makarov. This attempt is worse than all his previous attempts. Previously he could at least get the bar to his knees, now he barely lifts the bar off the ground for a split second. Either his strength has plateaued or he needs to change his training approach moving forward.
Maybe that is even a good thing for him, if you keep getting seemingly closer and closer you delude yourself into thinking the approach is correct. Atleast now he has to take a step back and analyze what he is doing.
@@maxkaltenhauser9282 bro he was analyzing 505 since 2016 he tryed 505 more than anyone and sadly this year too he cant. probably he'll retire soon
Apparently he injured his quad
His training is odd, he does way too many heavy singles. He did 490(I think) like 4 weeks ago
He was stronger than ever in training.
Damn, considering how easily Thor moved the 501kb back then.
From what I've seen with the Thor one, the weight reading is shown on camera but there's no way to know if it's truly accurate, it wouldn't be hard to program a display to show a lighter weight, or do some camera trickery. The ease with which he lifts it (as a very tall person) makes me think it was less weight, still very heavy but not quite the 501kg claimed.
@@3finnianThor pulled 474kg for a speed rep without a suit & you think he can't pull 501 in a suit? You Eddie fanboys are so annoying. There's so many reasons why the 501 couldn't possibly have been faked, including reputable sponsors who's reputation would be in tatters if they sponsored a fake lift
@@3finnian LOL! Do you really think the world's strongest man ever is faking his lifts? I don't know if it was measured with a device as accurate as in competitions like these, but it must have been extremely close. No reason to do something like this, if you are not doing it properly. If you have seen his lifts in competitions, it was kind of obvious that it was a real lift.
The dude was 200kg of solid muscle, he could have lifted more that day. Still the greatest deadlifter in history
Thor en sont temps aurait pu arriver a ce poids
It’s amazing see these guys even break that weight off the floor! They’ll get it someday💪🏼🔥
Ivan Makarov will attempt 505kg again on the 2nd of December 2023.
And sadly will fail again...he is not ready 505 was possible when Hafthor was on prime
@@ayushtomar6789 hafthor deadlift is fake, its not official...

@@BeeReports444how does Thor's balls taste in your mouth?
Graham Hicks 470 looks so easy. 505 seems possible for him next time.
Really makes you wonder how much Hafthor could've gotten if he'd aimed higher, the speed he got the 501kg past the knees was insane, he had an easy 505-510 in him that day.
facts
FAKE WEIGT
Rauno Heinla had the best chance of any currently active strongman of hitting 505Kg. He's truly a phenomenal deadlifter and still very underrated and underappreciated on the world stage. I thought Hicks may have had half a chance up until he announced his injury during prep. Makarov has attempted this so many times that he's almost became a meme. Doesn't have it in him at all and never will.
He’s got the masters world record, he’s not underrated at all. You just don’t hear about him a lot because he’s not qualifying in the major strongman competitions.
Makarov will never be a meme. He'll do it, and you'll eat a mouthful of crow.
@@CankleCankle Ask anyone in the street if they know who holds the master's deadlift world record and tell me how long it takes you to find someone that does.
@@blockededited8280 Okay, Ivan.
Heinla is 41. It's never happening for him.
Just lifting one inch of that weight is impressive! 💪👍
Three people attempting 505 is insane. Also Heinla coughing and gaggin before his lift is amusing.
Yeah weird
I think Benni used to cough to elevate his heart rate, perhaps that's what is happening here? Benni spoke about it in a training vlog once @@gavster023
Isn’t that a tren cough?
It's just his version of a big shout or growl. I've started doing it when I deadlift as well, partially because it amps me and partially because it clears my throat.
500KG itself is quite the undertaking, it really shows you how incredible both Eddie Hall and Hafthor Björnsson were There are several BTS videos with Eddie Hall, doing everything he can to prepare, including hypnotism
eddie even talks about the phsychology of putting your brain into that survival state to where your body is at it's most unbelievable super human strength. Going to a dark place to find it is even a harder challenge as it is
Hafthor looked like he had more in the tank aswell, kinda looked like he had 510/520 kg in him at the time. Eddie said his only regret was not loading the bar even more once he felt the power he had, said he felt like he could lift more. I think Hafthor just got what he needed to and then didn't want to risk anything more. He was already a living legend, essentially no point in doing more than he did. I do wish Eddie and Hafthor continued their fued in strongman. They retired too early from the sport imo. If you gave both of those guys 3-5 more years, oh boy.
@@vebjsand Something makes me feel that Hafthor didn't have to take nearly as much prep work as Eddie did, other than good ol' fashion conditioning, eating large amounts, and substance abuse, but hey that's the industry standard. And yes, I believe Hafthor could have pushed past 501kg, but I also think it's because he knows Eddie would never go through, what he had to go through to prepare, again. Also, we know how much they love to annoy each other, so why not take to opportunity to beat Eddie's record by only 1kg lol. Eddie did perform his feat in a professional setting though, where Hafthor did his in his home gym. So, I feel that can play a small role as well, even if it's the tiniest bit.
@@jar768jake And Eddie did it when the previous WR was aroudn 465 if i remember correctly, so it's already a huge jump and at that time, saying he'll pull 500 was a ridiculous statement. So he also had to prep and do it while basically everyone thought he'd fail. Although that may have fueled him more. Hafthor at least didn't have to go to "uncharted" territory. I think it's a shame it was only 1kg, plus definitely a pity it was not a comp lift. But it's not any less impressive for sure. And now, these competitors were almost sure they could pull it... crazy. Although they didn't. ;)
@@jar768jake I think Eddie would've respected or atleast settled with a 505 or 510 kg pull. But 501 must make him fume. Eddie has talked a bit about his prep back then, and knowing what he knows now, if he knew it back then, he could've kept going with risking heart injury and such. Back then he was going at it with very little guidance, limited knowledge about substance abuse (these days athletes get the same results which way smaller dosages and less side effects). As you mention I think perhaps it played a role that he was forced to do it in a "home gym". I do trust the judges and such, weights were weighed on livestream and all that. But it's still not the same as being at the Arnolds or Giant's live. So maybe he had a tiny bit of doubt about the lift being valid, so why risk life threatening injury by pulling 510 or 520 when he has already beaten the record. We saw what happened with Eddie, he had severe injuries from the lift. I think that scared Hafthor a bit, but clearly his larger frame handled it well, he was a bit sore for 1 day then didn't notice anything (or atleast so he says). In my head there's no question he could've done more. A few days before the lift he did 470 kg for reps, and perhaps for the first time in his life looked aggressive and angry at the weight. I've never seen 470 kg look so easy, ever. With that said, I also think Eddie could've done more than 500 kg. It's a shame we never really got to see a head-to-head battle with them play out properly. The few fueds they had they both still had more potential. Even bloatlord Eddie looking like a beast at his peak, with different substance and nutrition regiment, had more potential, especially in over-head stuff. Ifs and buts. There's nobody like them in the strongman scene these days. Tom could maybe have the potential to hang with those guys, but he'd need a rival to push him over a couple of years to reach final form. Right now his strength varies way too much throughout the year, and his focus is only on WSM. I think he has a long term goal of breaking the deadlift WR, and with proper focus I think he can do it. Would love to see it.
Now that we've done this a couple of times, would be great to let the athletes attempt their goals too. Maybe someone has a 480 deadlift, that would be huge. And you can still have the 505 up there for those who want it.
I feel like these three guy have actually maxed out their frame's potential. They don't have the structure that Eddie and Thor did. I think Pavlo's frame is maybe better suited to handle the WR.
I saw Loz & Liz's video and I have to say, this video here doesn't showcase the REAL hype that the crowd is giving these guys. In this video you can hear the crowd when they go for the lift but it sounds sort of "mundane", in Loz & Liz's video (obviously just a mic from a camera) you can hear the crowd literally ROARING and cheering like crazy! I feel like Giants Live should have a similar mic or something to capture just how nuts the crowd goes and how awesome that is, it almost feels like you're there with everyone!
I believe ,only eddie is the only person who has lifted 500kg of weight on any recognised global platform and hence widely or undisputedly accepted record
Thank you.
Goes to show how insane Eddie's pull was back when he was active. But to be honest, Thor pulled 501 easily. I love Eddie but I do believe Thor is the only man that could pull 505+.
crazy right? 7 years later and no one has even come close to breaking Eddie's record.
Thor crushed his record and then beat his ass lol@@gojira444
Agreed. Thor made 501 look easy and I believe he might return and do 510+. His strength is absolutely ridiculous. He is also 6'9" - Nearly a foot taller than Hicks, Makaroc and Heinla.
@@megaragexx >1kg >his own gym and equipment you call that "crushin it"? lmao Do it in comp or gtfo
@@megaragexx he didn't beat his ass eddie gave him lot of good punches its just that he was not trained properly due injury in his arm, and thor beat his record by 1 kg in 5 yrs 😂 eddie should probably lift 502 kg now
Very brave efforts from all, but only Hafthor Bjornsson can lift this weight.
makarov HAD AN UNCLIPPED BELT
This sport is very good 👍😊
damn this feels like a race to see who deadlifts 505kg first,i wonder who is gonna win 😅
Thor is truly 1 in 8 Billion. Absolutely Ridiculous Strength!!!
Thor is a loser, if you compare to eddi
@@jonasherbst9722 Eddies 1 win against Thors 30 wins? LMAO
I am not sure 🤔 any of these fine athletes actually truly believe they can lift this weight. Eddie Hall was lifting 500k or he was prepared to die. No doubt Eddies mental toughness is still the difference.
It's all about power 💪 Eddie and Thor were way heavier than these competitors. Both of them were over 430 pounds.
@@jurekcc9162 Thor didn't lift 501 kg, his dad weigthed the weights
It's about peaking. They know they don't have it, based on their last gym lifts and accounting for a deload + a bump in tren dosages 7-10 days out. They do it anyway because it creates engagement for GL.
@@jurekcc9162 Yah Eddie Hall did resemble an excavator tire for that lift.
@@pedrorebelo6671🤡
There are 2 people on this earth with potential to deadlift 505+kg in the future... Tom Stoltman and Hafthor.
Hafthor?! Omg, you can't be serious.
Eddie and Thor had true reasons to pull over 500kg which made them successful. Eddie wanted to prove to all the haters that pulling 500kg is possible and Thor had beef with Eddie, so he wanted to best him at all cost. Both pulled fairly fast off the ground which makes you think they could've done 505kg easy. At this point it's just to break a record.
I thing that IT should be done without wristbelts… Strong men strong fingers
To lift it even an inch is insane!
He was just below the knees like. Which is ferociously strong
So close, and yet so far.
I think if anyone has the physical potential to pull 505, it's Tom Stoltman. Just depends if he decides he wants it.
Official record almost breaked with 5kg. It will someday. But i remember one time when one guy break official record 35kg... legend.
Some big company should give at least 2 million dollars as "motivation" prize.
The Estonian was closer than the others.
Graham hicks got it higher. He brought it exactly to his knees
@@detachedloop1004true, but heinla’s lockout is much stronger. If he gets it past his knees he’s locking out. Hicksy’s lockout isn’t quite as strong
when i see someone taking so long to setup i immediately think "this dude ain't doing it"
We only have one man to break that record and hes the bloat-lord himself, @Kyriakos Kapakoulak 💪
💪👍🏻
This is the 21st Century's Sword in the Stone.
I think Thor could have pulled 505 the day he pulled 501. I don't know if he ever will. I don't think he wants to get that huge again?
It's is current goal to build back to a 505kg deadlift. He did announce that a couple of weeks ago on his Instagram.
@@TwilightOperativeno he didnt, as a fact he's been saying since he came back to stringman that he will probably never went to bulk back to 200kg bodyweught. Ut's just some youtune channel doing some click ait titles out of thin air.
Even making that thing leave the ground is totally badass.
to get it off the ground is a feat in itself!
I just hope someone pulls 505 soon, so we don't have to see the eddie vs thor "who has the legit record" arguments anymore.
This is the difference between reals strongmans and fake gym youtubers which lift 1000kg on tiktoks. This is the bigs boys yard.
Just shows how strong these guys really are this weight is insane
May God give me the strength to do world record deadlift . Amen.
Makarov should continue to train heavy bloc pulls, it really paid off!!
Макарову надо прекращать этим заниматься. Его предел 475-485. Он больше не поднимет. Все уже возраст не позводит.
Someday it'll be broken. Good luck to all the strongmen trying to break it!
A great evening of failed attempt after failed attempt after failed attempt 👍
Bon courage 💪
Good work by all the athletes. It’s an insane weight that’s biblical!! Only thing though I feel the guys need to put on some more weight. Eddie was 190KG and Thor was over 200KG. Weight moves weight, so if these guys can add about another 10-20Kg they may be able to get it.
I guess I'll have to do it myself
Hicks did sooo much better than the other two
Absoluter Respekt 💯💯
POWER
The BEAST just left the chat.
I didn’t realise that straps are legal for World Records
Bro, Makarov is only 32? I thought he was close to his 50's judging by his face
juice will do that to you
I believe Pavlo has it. He just keeps getting nerfed by the universe lol
Nasty bicep tear
Stop attempting 505, go hit 502!
Anatoly shows up and asks....Can I clean here???
Wierzbicki 502,5 Weight 105kg Techica sumo
It really sucks peiman couldn't attend wsm. I really feel he woulda pulled 505kg.
Do those bars every snap ?
Haha😂 Eddie, you are the best. Unbeatable for so many years.
Thor?
Thor beat him in 3y 9m and now Thor is Unbeaten for 3y 4m and counting.
Hi,unfortunately, Thor's lift wasn't official. It didn't count as world record.
@@dmitriliverpoolgym5354 Who says? You?? The Guinness world records have verified it. Even Giants Live accepts it. Who are you even? lmao
@easteuropeanviking Hi, Can you confirm name of the competition please, where was lifted this WR. As i remember there was just video from his gym.
So i managed 150kg dead lift tonight with video evidence. I only weigh 70kg I've not done deadlift for years but enjoyed taking on the challenge. Mind over matter dont be defeated youll get there you've just gotta persevere. You'll do 505kg just keep at it 💪 mad though thats over half a tonne 😂😂 absolute beast
There is a place on Earth, called the Indian Ocean geoid low, near the southern tip of India, where gravity is less than anywhere else. That is where a deadlift attempt would have the greatest chance of success. The kilogram is a standard unit of mass, not weight, so the weight of a kilogram can vary, depending on local gravity.
The only man alive who can deadlift 505kg is kyriakos grizzley
pasará mucho tiempo para que rompan el record mundia de hafthor de 501kg 🏆
Anatoly comes in to clean...
Loz N Liz giving it Large in the background 😂
Seems like a 505 deadlift is about like the 230 log.
*_𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓_*
Just imagine 1000lbs pressure pulling your whole body down.
*1,100 lb
Anyone else think this commentator sounds the same as the commentator for arm wrestling
I think if Graham hadn't pulled his hamstring 2 weeks out and had done the 470 Deadlift beforehand he would have got it no problem
How many ppl attempted 500+ kg dead lift?
Makarov look ripped
Hicks had the closest attempt by far here. Got it too his knees and held it there for a second. Other two guys barely broke the floor
Forgetting to tighten ones belt for a max attempt, what a grief.
Eddie will go down in history as the first man to deadlift 500kg. "I was the first man to deadlift 505kg" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
I think Jamal has a good chance if he devotes his training to just deadlifts with a suit and traps, and removed squat and bench. I know he’s devoted more to powerlifting, but it would only help carryover to his sumo
He is already a deadlift oriented powerlifter and he's no where near the size required to do this, stop kidding yourself.
@@J.c410 he still has a shot in a few years. If he strictly focused on it, put on more size, prioritized the deadlift, he can do it. He was the lightest guy in the competition and tied for 4th? Don’t quote me on that
@@immatthouse he is waaaay too far and doesnt have the body composition for it, flat out impossible. Far bigger and stringer guys have been failing pretty hard at it for years while doing pretty much deadlift only.
how many nationalities has ivan makarow? Russian? Ukrainian? Georgian?
Hahaha I thought the same thing 😆. Next year he will be saudi Arabian 🤣
I wonder if hicks could have pulled the 500kg course there'd be no point but I reckon he could have seeing the 505 move
Being brutally honest non of these guys were anywhere near. On a conventional pull, the first pull is the easiest part, especially getting it to just below the knees. The hard part is that second pull. With makarov it will be a case of if his health gives out before he can get the lift, man is so strong but never seems to be quite there. Grahams 470 wasn’t as good as people seem to think it was, it slowed, he hitched it several times and struggled on the lockout. Would have been interesting to see pavlo make an attempt, man is a beast and he is still young as well. When we saw Eddie and Thor pull 470 it was smooth, no slow down and no hitching and non of these guys are at that level quite yet. Wasn’t to be this year, there is always next year
These guys can barely bend down to reach the bar because of their suits, but people will still scream that sumo is cheating
Necaise powerlifter for some reason decided to have both conventional and sumo in the same category .... strongman understands that different setups means different record.
The Estonian could have lifted the bar it looked like he freaked out mentally and wasn't capable due to his mind not his body. I belive he will be capable of this once addressed this , like with anything we are all only as strong as the weakest link
These competitors still don't get it, it's all about body weight power💪 Eddie and Thor were way heavier than these competitors when the lifted more than 500kg.
Only a vegan natty(or a natty vegan) can do it!
Wrong 😅
yeah i was thinking that's definitely a factor. These athletes are 140/150kg. I dont think it's physically possible.
@@vanessaruiz4705 easy for pavlo
