You’re right..

360 vs 1125 is most unimpressive.

Pretty sure he suffered from giantism so it is likely his system wouldn't have handled the strain.

Give that thor bloke his due, he has a robust system and a good bone structure.

Crazy power


I was hoping he’d take a 4th attempt at 510-520. Maybe when the Rona is gone and everything is open he will go to a comp and hit 510-520.


When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

No problem, as soon as he gave chase he would have a heart attack.

added, and I am pretty 5' 9" would have been a giant in England at that time.

One of the side effects of steroid use would lead me to think she wood not get split in two. I work out seriously 4x per week and am in the company of many guys just like Thor. I wouldn’t take steroids for all the tea in ?China.

I wouldn't mess with him. Be a handy guy to have around for changing a motor out.

An other worldly amount of training and genetics to achieve that, no matter how many roids your pumping.

Good for him. Hope he lives a long and happy life.

Doubtful any human has ever lived, yes even a Viking, that was ever that big and strong.

If the English guy had a longbow and a few cloth yard arrows, no problem. One dead oaf.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

English longbows were later in time than the Viking invasion period.

Walked past him at the WSM in Florida last year. I’m not a small guy, but he’s a fuggin monster of a human. One of my friends and ex football teammates is 6’-7” and about 315. Thor made him look average.
