![]() ![]() Since then, in April 2020, Hall and Björnsson have been hard at work training to finally meet and settle the score in a highly anticipated boxing match. Björnsson completed the lift, and immediately challenged Hall to a fight in his post-event presser. Hall contested that Björnsson's lift shouldn't officially count, since he completed the lift in his home gym in Iceland instead of during an officially sanctioned competition. The rivalry went public in the lead up to Björnsson's 501 kg deadlift, a feat that surpassed Hall's own 500 kg record. The former strongmen, both of whom have won World's Strongest Man titles and broken legendary records, have carried on a massive beef for years now, stretching back to Hall's win at the 2017 World's Strongest Man competition. I don't think he'll dominate shows again but I could absolutely see him sniping a 2nd WSM or another Arnolds at a healthy 170kg with abs.There's no larger feud (by both combined mass and bad blood) in strength sports than Eddie Hall vs. He's still healthy enough to be a legitimate top level strongman even at a lower weight. ![]() The only way I could see Thor going for a deadlfit again is if Eddie somehow magically hit 502 without killing himself. Nobody is going to risk dying for a second WSM or a record lift that's not a huge record blowout or a rivalry thing like Thor's. Eddie is doing some US vs UK strongman stuff, and Thor has said he'd like to come back to the sport, but I think they'll both compete at 160kg maximum, maybe a bit higher for Thor like 170 or 180. No chance either of them bulks to that level ever again. I think both guys probably took years off their lives going for 500kg (Eddie more than Thor). Thor hasn't said much about any medical problems, but he could barely breathe or talk in half his videos when he was over 200kg. They basically just bloat bulked as hard as they could on ludicrous amounts of gear until their bodies were at breaking point.Įddie shouldn't have done it in the first place, he nearly died, I know a lot of people give him shit for hamming it up (and rightly so), but he did legitimately hit the deck with chest pain at Europes, failed a physical with an irregular ECG before worlds, and had to call an ambulance in the middle of the night during the lead up to the 500. Thor didn't look quite as bad as Eddie afterwards but you could tell just by watching his youtube content that he was super unhealthy too. The 500kg deadlifts pushed both their bodies way past their natural limits.
