Thor says he's back

My way too early prediction is he just does the Arnold...

I love Thor but it seems like he has a Looooong road ahead to get back into being a competitor for Ws. He has had several injuries over the years and getting long in the tooth to spring back so quickly.

I hope he takes it easy so he doesn't get injured again before he is fully healed

He's actually still young by SM standards. I believe he's 34. That is early prime age. The injuries are normal, honestly, and the pec tear is unlikely to have any impact on SM at all. The question is how far is he willing to take it? Will he push the drugs to be at the top, or back it off to preserve long term health? I don't get the impression that he is a less than "All in" guy, so I expect some rapid return to form and 50% chance of major injury from pushing to fast.

Still time to eat my words but after seeing that 1006 lb dead and taking 2nd in the timber carry... well...



(that's Thor... not me... I am in fact not back... just to clear that up)

Thor lifting 1006 lbs like it was 135 had me feeling lots of feels. Still anticipating a mitch win, but no real idea.

Mitch pausing before taking the lead was a trip hahaha

Did he have a stroke? Looks like Bells Palsy or something. Anyway my son showed me the 1k deadlift. Pretty dope

Looks like Bells Palsy

Yep. He had it in reaction to an viral infection in 2017.
