Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, otherwise known as ‘The Mountain’ from Game of Thrones, has featured in the top-three of the world’s strongest men for the past five years.
He doesn’t do things by halves. Don’t believe us? Check out this video of what The Mountain puts in his post-workout shakes. Believe us yet?
With the 2017 competition only a few weeks away, Björnsson has been putting in the hard-yards in the weights room. Check out this video he posted to Instagram of him squatting a measly 272-kilograms like it’s nothing.
He didn’t even break a sweat and looks like he could’ve pumped out another 5 reps. But we figure he doesn’t want to give all his training secrets away before the competition. If that wasn’t enough, the very next day he posted a follow up video of an equally impressive bench press… at 200 kilograms.
We wouldn’t want to be this guy’s opponents.
