Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, better known as Gregor Clegane or “The Mountain” in Game of Thrones, is a very strong individual.
Having already won the Arnold Strongman Classic and the World’s Strongest Man, among many other competitions, the 31-year-old has also now broken another world record.
After initial reps of 420 kg and 465 kg, Björnsson deadlifted 501 kg to go past a record that has held through since 2016. The 6-foot-9 Icelandic strongman beat the previous record set by the UK’s Eddie Hall, who was the first to ever deadlift 500 kg.
Interestingly enough, Björnsson also wants to KO the previous record holder next, saying he’s signed a very lucrative offer for a boxing match with Hall.
