NEW WORLD RECORD – Thor (The Mountain) Deadlifts 472kg/1041lb at Arnold Strongman Classic

Thor set a new world record on with the elephant bar. It’s a foot longer than a normal competition bar, making it harder to compensate the bending of the bar and the swinging of the weight. 

Check out the video of his lift below.
