So 183cm tall, weighing around 105kg, pulling just over 3xBW; I'm thinking we're talking Klokov hereI think I like being right in the middle, leaning a little more towards the Ant!

Funny that - me too, only a little less bow-leggedYes! I'm exactly like Klokov! But just a little shorter, a little fatter, and a little weaker! LOL!
Thor looked huge. Pushing 500lb in my opinion. Size is always misreported in strongman. I have met Hafthor and Ray Williams in person and the thickness of these athletes is cartoonish.
In the Shaw years Thor was 6’7”. Now he is 6’9. How much stuff do you take to make you taller?
An awesome load hoisted by an awesome human.
What is it about Biloxi, Mississippi, and incredibly strong, smart people?
... Delta Blues or Delta 20...?
or by Thor's and Eddie's boxing skills - what a jokeI will come out and say that the 501kg lift by Thor is the most impressive deadlift I've ever seen. Clearly.
Powerlifting deadlifts are another case that play by their own rules.
I get it that relative strength is impressive but I doubt anyone would be impressed by Thor running 100 metres in 25 seconds.
I always find multiples of bodyweight a bit of a smoke screen - it's a strength sport and the aim is to lift the most weight. Wilks, multiples of bodyweight etc are great for getting larger participation numbers for the feds but the strongest person is the person who lifts the most.I will come out and say that the 501kg lift by Thor is the most impressive deadlift I've ever seen.

I'll join the minority who's not completely impressed by this lift. 2.6 BW. 501 kg, ok. A lot of raw power, and a room for improvement.
I have my own reasons to say this, however, I won't explain it publicly, out of respect to this athlete, as he accomplished much more positive things than something I had in mind (and not only me).Also, a guy who deadlifted 1000lbs has "alot of room for improvement"?
Sorry, if somebody's feeling was hurt.
I'd be more than happy if I could pull 300 kg as fast as Lasha pulls this:
