$55,000 will be awarded to the person who lifts 505kg in the deadlift at the 2022 Giants Live Open

During this May it will be two years since Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson pulled 501kg on the deadlift and set a new world record, which has been held by English strongman Eddi Hall since 2017. Thor wanted to break this record at the valid competition (World Ultimate Strongman Bahrain), but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Thor had no choice but to plan an attempt to break the record in his home gym. D-Day - May 2, 2020 in the presence of an official judge and a live Thor set a new world record with a 501kg deadlift performance.

However, the organisers of the 2022 Giants Live Open would like to try and challenge the competitors to try and break that record. A reward ($55,000) will be given to any strongman who lifts 4kg more than Thor did two years ago on August 6, 2022.

What do you think, will anyone succeed?
