That was absolutely nuts! Walked it out, solid depth each rep, totally crushed it. I’m sure he can beat the Platz record easily. Love seeing these heavy rep attempts.

Plus he got it done in under a minute!
In the comments he says “I think this is easily attainable for any 950+ squatter who builds their work capacity” … as if there are more than a handful of 950lb squatters in the world 
I wonder what his training for that looked like
Mitch Hooper is the same age, and Hooper and Hatton are both contemporaries in the strongman scene. Hooper’s accomplishments i.e. wins (which are nowhere close to being done) dwarf Hatton’s to this point, with my point being this Hatton video shows just how freakishly strong in all aspects strongmen have to be to win the top shows.

The gap between “pretty good” and “world class” is absolutely astronomical
I think this speaks true for a lot of sports. It is easy to under appreciate just how incredibly quick, strong, skillful etc the top tier of athletes in their respective sport are when even at an amateur level, we brandish the term freakish at a select few. Then there is always one or two above that “top tier”.
I love this video btw, just the tonic after that pathetic egotistical clown with his “squat challenge”.
