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.
And now, the 6ft 9in behemoth has shattered the record again by deadlifting 510kg in front of a live crowd at the World Deadlift Championships in Birmingham.
Thor, who 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.
The 2018 World’s Strongest Man winner roared with delight as the crowd went wild.
And fans were quick to hail his success on social media.
One said: “That is absurd.”
Another declared: “He could have repped that, the strength is unfathomable.”

Thor’s record was even more incredible after the giant slimmed down to 22.8 stone for his boxing fight with Hall three years ago.
The ace had turned his back on strongman and was considering a full-time move into boxing.
But after flirting with powerlifting, Thor decided to re-enter the world of strongman while also focusing on setting more strength records.
As well as his deadlift, Thor also stormed to victory in the simultaneous Giants Live World Open strongman contest, impressing in events like the Front Hold and Power Stairs.
