Hafthor Björnsson: Daily Routine

Hafthor Bjornsson went from world’s strongest man to heavyweight boxer, trading French toast stacks for footwork and five-hour gym days.

While the rest of the world might know him as the actor playing Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain on the HBO series Game of Thrones, the strength sports community know Hafthor Bjornsson better as one of the greatest strongman athletes of all time.

Regarded by many to be the strongest man to have ever lived, the Icelandic professional strongman is the only person in history to have ever won the Arnold Strongman Classic, the Europe’s Strongest Man and the World’s Strongest Man competitions in the same year.

With numerous Strongman world titles under his belt, along with multiple world records — including the heaviest Elephant Bar Deadlift ever at 474 kg — Bjornsson is one of the most decorated strength athletes in history behind Lithuania’s Žydrūnas Savickas and Poland’s Mariusz Pudzianowski.
