Just seen thors 325 x 3 squat with wraps.
Didn't look that easy.
How can such a big human being be so "weak" in squatting.
I remember our hicks doing easy 5s with 325 kg or so

Being that Tall has got to be a hindrance in the squat. Plus, he just hasn't taken strongman seriously this last year. He has also taken the short cut route of insulin mega use to gain size, and it has not paid off at all. The bigger he gets, the worse he becomes.

No idea, can't figure out how someone could be so weak as to only raw Squat a comfy 325kg triple at 6 foot 9 - crazy

Defo, he's doing s**te, best finish only second in the world at a really young age, terrible. Isn't paying off financially either with the millions he's making through acting. Needs to change his whole approach.

Trajectory-lost Euros, weaker in deadlift. His Press has gone up a small amount. Big difference in focus between acting and being WSM. He's chosen the acting. Good luck to him, but he's deffo on the downward slope.

The best of the best go to the NFL, acting, basketball, track and field etc as these are more lucrative than strongman and powerlifting. Until prize money goes up, these will always take priority over strongman for elite athletes. Hall being offered 50K to pull 500kg showed what elite athletes are capable of with proper incentive.

Can you blame Thor for pursuing the money? I know what I'd do !

100% agree.

Look at Pudz. He gets his Five titles, then f**ks off to make more money for a mediocre fighting career.

I personally think Mark Henry could of been the strongest man ever, if he pursued the sport. But WWE paid a wee bit better.

Well in 2016 a triple with 325 is not something hugely amazing when someone weighs over 180kg...

Yep.
I dunno. He was a monster and unique in being world class in all 4 strength disciplines (grip, wl, pl, strongman) but not on the same level as Hall, Z, Lillebridge.

At his time he was.
But strength sport evolves and now there are some monsters who in 10 years will be beaten by even bigger monsters

I don't think anyone else will pull 500kg for a long long time.

Henry never had the pressing capacity to be in the same league as Z.
