Another added: “Unbelievable.”
Rival Eddie Hall, who Thor defeated in a boxing grudge match in 2022, was the first man to deadlift 500kg in 2016.
But Thor set a new record at 501kg in 2020 before lifting 505kg in July.
He weighs a crazy 31.4 STONE and eats up to 10,000 calories per DAY, barely broke a sweat as he made the lift look easy.
