Here's The Bjornsson at 19!

"Young, proud and extremely motivated dad that had big dreams! His biggest motivation factor was and still is his daughter!! When I was 19 years old I got the news I was becoming a dad... my life was a complete roller coaster but once I had my daughter in my arms I completely fell in love. I was motivated to be better each day and work very hard to achieve my goals. I am so thankful for my daughter and every goal that I have reached since then. Looking forward to adding the newest family member and continuing to smash my goals out of the park! #FamilyFirst"

I know they try to hype so much that fight between him and Eddie Hall for next year, but now with Hafthor retiring completely from strongman, it will be interesting to see what he can achieve in boxing in only 1 year.

Have you guys heard about Thor's pec tear?

Thor Pec Tear


This is the video showing it happening. My heart goes out to Thor. This is a serious injury and very painful.



I guess he had surgery yesterday and is in recovery now.

The Phenomenal Journey of Hafthor Bjornsson: Mastering the Elephant Bar Deadlift THOS is back!​

Hafthor Bjornsson's Impressive Return to Strength Sports​

Hafthor Bjornsson, a name synonymous with strength and power, has recently made headlines with his awe-inspiring return to the world of strongman competitions. The Icelandic powerhouse, known for his remarkable feats in strength sports, has once again set the bar high by mastering the elephant bar deadlift, a cornerstone event in strongman competitions.

The Elephant Bar Deadlift: A Unique Challenge​

The elephant bar deadlift stands out due to its unique equipment and the sheer strength required to master it. The elephant bar, significantly longer than a standard barbell, introduces an additional challenge due to its increased flex and the altered mechanics of the lift. This variation demands not only immense power but also exceptional technique and mental fortitude.



Bjornsson's Journey: From Recovery to Triumph​

Hafthor Bjornsson's journey to reclaiming his strength is nothing short of remarkable. Following a major pectoral injury, his path to recovery and his return to peak performance is a testament to his resilience and dedication. Weighing in at a leaner 176 kilograms (388 pounds), down from his previous 208 kilograms (458.6 pounds), Bjornsson has strategically adjusted his training and diet to optimize his performance.

Training Insights: The Secret Behind His Success​

Bjornsson's training regimen, focused on balancing raw strength with agility and endurance, showcases his holistic approach to strength sports. His dedication to mastering the elephant bar deadlift involves rigorous training sessions, which are a blend of heavy lifting, technical refinement, and recovery protocols.


Upcoming Competitions: A Look Ahead​

As Bjornsson gears up for his next major appearances, including the 2024 Arnold Strongman Classic, the Arnold Strongman Classic UK, and the Rogue Invitational, the strongman community eagerly awaits his performances. His goals, ambitious yet within reach, speak to his unrelenting spirit and desire to push the boundaries of what is possible in strength sports.

Conclusion: Celebrating Strength and Determination​

Hafthor Bjornsson's comeback and mastery of the elephant bar deadlift are not just about physical strength; they are a celebration of human potential, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. As he continues to inspire and amaze, his journey stands as a beacon of what can be achieved with hard work, dedication, and an unyielding spirit.
