I forgot we had [spoiler]the ability to hide spoilers[/spoiler]. No one ever does that anymore. You must be from the old school. Here, have some power points.

Side question: What specifically is the intended function of the wrist straps?

They're used for strengthening the grip: the fingers can't really hold as heavy as the upper body is able to lift.

Still, pulling close to half a ton off the floor is quite impressive, especially for a 6'9" dude. That's a long way coming back up. And he's only Hafthor. Imagine if he was a whole Thor.

Reminds of this any time I see a dead lift:

Unfortunately, it seems that anything I do these is old school by default

And it also seems that quoting a spoiler tag makes it visible.

@Payback, that's not sad at all. Clearly you need expensive tyres when using them as a deadlift weight.

Someone should tell the programmers of this web page to fix that problem!

That dude is....Mind blowing.....

If I knew this cat I'd get him bitchin' custom hammers every year for his birthday-This guy could wield a #40 sledge no problem...
