Re: Just Thor things
So I realize that's on an Elephant Bar (or at least a makeshift version of it) but surely he'll be breaking Eddie's 500kg record sometime soon, right? Or at least he could, probably lots of negotiations to be done. I imagine they (the strongman promoters) would want to make a big event of it, and Thor would want to cash in as much as possible (don't blame him at all).

Re: Just Thor things
He did 473 before the Arnold last year, pulled it in competition as a second attempt and got 501 just off the floor. They've been hyping this for a while and Rogue Record-Breakers purse was 50.000 last year iirc.TimK wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 12:10 pm So I realize that's on an Elephant Bar (or at least a makeshift version of it) but surely he'll be breaking Eddie's 500kg record sometime soon, right?

Re: Just Thor things
Kind of off topic, but I noticed him keeping thumbs over with his straps. Is that common? Is that why guys have their straps break? I’ve never even thought of holding the bar any way but how I would do it without straps.

Re: Just Thor things
With figure 8's? Yeah... I do the same thing... I can get my thumbs around with the 8's but it's not exactly comfortable. I don't think it contributes much if it all to strap failures, and I can't think of a time I've seen a pair of 8's break...

Re: Just Thor things
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that he's going to get 501. I think he could even go above 501 from the training videos that I've seen.

Watching the live feed now on Rogue's YouTube, they just finished weight the plates and are interviewing Magnus Ver Magusson currently before it kicks off.

Re: Just Thor things
He looks promising. Way more fit than Eddie did.
What will Eddie talk about if Thor pulls it?

That looked somewhat comfortable even with the hitch. Holy cow.

Re: Just Thor things
Yep. He made that look easy. None of the drama like Eddie had following his lift. I find Eddie very entertaining, but imagine he’s raging right now. Hopefully, Thor goes for more in a few minutes, as he said he’s going to drop weight after today.
