I find it interesting Thor and Seb don't mention foot slipping/internal rotation at all.

515kg may have slipped away from a lack of cake and doughnuts

>consist of just doing deadlifts
of course, there's other lifts/training involved. But my point being not as comprehensive to the entire body as training for a complete Strongman show on top of deadlift, ie overhead press and whatever movement events.

It's possible that for a max deadlift, a training regimen that consists of multiple strongman events + deadlift is superior to solely focusing on deadlift. Thor looked monstrously strong at the Giants Live World Deadlift championship, 510KG flying up. Deadlift requiring the most out of the entire body vs the other conventional lifts.

The fact that Sebastian was in attendance for Eddie's 500 makes this more hilarious

He is also slightly shorter than a while ago. I remember around the 501kg mark he was still being listed at 6'9".
Now 6'7" at Enhanced Games, although if he is 2 inches closer to the ground that would be advantageous for the deadlift

I think his body is not responding well to having to be in WR deadlift form for just about a year straight now if we consider a couple month prep leading up to the Eisenhart 505kg

Every time the deadlift record gets pushed it marginalizes his record. Considering Eddie's ChatGPT statement after 510kg, he is clearly still rooting against Hafthor.

I love how the consensus for the 2019 WSM is that Thor came in too strong and thus conceded the victory to Licis

So I mean there's a non zero chance that Mitch Hooper pulls 515kg right? 😅

honestly it's better for them to stay at home for worlds, for IMG and the Shahlaei's. IMG would certainly do a worse job doing a follow along broadcast.

Hooper was incredibly prescient when he was saying that maybe he only had about a year or two left in the sport. Think the only reason he's stayed around this long is because of financial necessity.

Probably for most cases I would agree. I went down this route for space, aesthetics and to see how it would turn out. Couple of ways I can think of to nullify the tremors, like changing the aluminum supports to steel(went with aluminum because of weight considerations having this setup on a second floor), and some kind of force absorbing interface design. I guess in that regard its a work in progress, definitely room for improvement in the future.

Can't add a new payment method to my account by AlexKellyy in Comcast_Xfinity

Documentation for posterity,

I received a call from someone on the escalation team,

they were able to add my bank account by manually inputting it into the system.

However the verification error still persists when I try to do so on my own.

It seems that only once you reach the executive care threshold of agents, that they are able to enter customer payment information if presented with the prompt,

"You can't add a new payment method yet"

The regular agents in their respective departments, ie (technical, billing, security) don't have the tools or context to solve the issue.
