Terrifying mobile sculpture Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, better known as the Mountain from Game of Thrones, best known as TV’s most famous eye-squisher, won Europe’s Strongest Man Contest in 2014. But he’s also the strongest man…in a millennium. During this weekend’s World’s Strongest Viking competition, Björnsson “[broke] a record that has been part of history for 1,000 years,” for as they foretold in the ancient scrolls, I KILLED THE RECORD. I SMASHED ITS HEAD IN.

Lemme help yah.

quote:

“The record has been described in the Icelandic Sagas,” said Ilkka Kinnunen who reported on the event for Iron Mind. “The legend of the Icelander Ormur Stórólfsson goes that he walked three steps with a monster wooden log which weighed over 650 kg and was 10 m long. It took 50 mere mortals to help him place it on his back. After he took his third step, his back broke under the enormous pressure and he was never the same after that.

I couldn't post all of it.

Threads get anchored and deleted that do so.

He's still like 15 inches too short to play Gregor Clegane.

The guy they had the first season was 7', if not a little taller, but not nearly as buff as this dude.

A real life Gregor does not exist. They'd have to be 8' 400 lbs. The few people who have made it to 8' have usually been skinny.
