In 2016, Eddie Hall set the deadlifting world record of 500kg. In 2020, Hafthor “The Mountain” Bjornsson AKA “Thor” claimed 501kg in his home gym, but people questioned it because his father weighed the plates. Eddie called it fake. At the 2025 Arnold Strongman, Thor tried again—and failed—confirming Eddie’s record still stands.
