    I think Rogue....

    ...is doing the Arnold Classic Strongman streaming this weekend.

    https://www.roguefitness.com/events/...ssic/2024/live

    There are several events on YouTube already.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Fascinating stuff. The Animal Cage or whatever they call it is really cool.

    A few of his IG posts had me thinking that was his target. Maybe he saw he could save 505 for another time or something felt off?

    At his height that is a looong pull. Granted he has arm reach, but still a long pull!

    It looked like his pec was giving him a lot of problem throughout the event. But even if it wasn't, Hooper was pretty unbeatable this weekend.

    Absolutely! He really kicked the door open when he made it to the upper level contests.

    Edit: Good point about Hafthor's pec repair. He was looking like it was a non issue on IG, but I imagine a tweak/fatigue from the cumulative effect of pre-contest could have made him think twice.
    The guy and his wife had a rough go the past year or so. Losing a child and then the pec tear.

    You could really see it with th axel lift. Thor had no problem with his right arm getting it up, his left didn't want to work with him though

    Yeah when he pulled that without any effort, I knew for sure he could've gone for the record. But yeah him and Eddie Hall are the best deadlifters ever.

    For my money, the GOAT is still Ed Coan. Pulling 901 at 220 pounds in just a singlet and belt, basically raw by todays standards?

    Hafthor / Hall pulling 1100 at 400+ pounds IS impressive, no doubt though. Jesus, that's a lot of weight.

    Of course, I think Coan was pulling sumo at the time, and is only 5'6", so the bar did only have to come up like maybe a foot lol

    Ed is definetly the king. I just aint a fan of the sumo pull. His squat was the most impressive lift imho. Being short, and pulling sumo gives the lifter a huge advantage. Nothing to discredit the lifts just the biomechanics make it easier for some
