 A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4479 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 215485.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | I read today, that Hall used his own bar to attempt the 500kg. Is this correct? | ||

 I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2996 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | danbaseley said:I read today, that Hall used his own bar to attempt the 500kg. Is this correct? I’ve seen the same guy making comments everywhere about Ed using his own home baked bar... From what I understand, it was a calibrated deadlift bar. So I’m not sure what the definition of home cooked or baked is regarding? Seems the person is suggesting the bar was dodgy and gave Ed an advantage? | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22049 posts | Maybe we shouldn't have strongman records, just titles. | ||

I think this is the thing, people will always question a record... Especially as strongman is still a sport with no official governing body etc. However, it has certainly improved in the last 10 years. | ||

 Mr.Potato deadlift Member 2675, 4632 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 300800.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | danbaseley said:I read today, that Hall used his own bar to attempt the 500kg. Is this correct? Yes. Okie deadlift bar. Slightly shorter than a Texas deadlift and rogue Ohio, and slightly less whip I believe | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Thor will just pull 502kg later in the year anyway. He will breeze this 501kg. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 11.04.2020 @ 14:24 PM by Mikeneto Saying that..with Thor I have noticed the bar slows around his knee(friction) and in one of his recent video he even cut his knee when dead lifting. Only thing that could potentially stop him doing it. But I think the suit will offset that. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | What dates are they happening..so I know Thor is 2nd of May, Luke Stoltman 17th of May. Are all of them on different dates? Kinda hoped they would all be on one stream on one date. | ||

Are all of them on different dates? Kinda hoped they would all be on one stream on one date. One every week. They start with Thor and go on from there. I believe it is Thor, Tom, Luke, Novikov, Rhianon. | ||

 Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | The_Lone_Wolf said:Brian Shaw posted a good answer to it all in his video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/hzsoYquwbWM nailed it. | ||

 See You Next Tuesday Member 2254, 3824 posts SQ 240, BP 165, DL 300705.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | LessThanLuke said:Rhianon personally is just looking at hers as some exhibition lifting for some excitement and something to watch for people during the virus. Plus promotion of course. That's exactly what it should be Give Thor and luke etc a chance to show what they are capable of / been training for so they're efforts aren't totally wasted, but shouldn't be an official record. Give em some dolla for the entertainment factor and leave it at that. Out of curiosity, is your mrs getting paid to attempt the record? Obviously she's not quite as big a celebrity as Thor so just curious if there is any money involved for the lower tier lifters (I don't mean any offence by that  ) | ||
