Icelandic actor and super strong human Hafþór Björnsson plays “The Mountain” on Game of Thrones. He’s an enormous person who can lift insanely heavy objects.

This weekend, Björnsson earned a spot in the record books.

Competing in the 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic, Björnsson set a world record for the raw deadlift with a 1,041-pound lift. It’s something you have to see to believe.

There is no reason to live if you can't do deadlift.

Matthew 17:20

Jesus said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Yeah slippers or no shoes is common

Helps you lower your hips for better center of gravity, it’s better for you.

A lot of the taller Nordic guys are great deadlifters

What deadlifting record is it? Eddie Hall still has the most ever deadlifted at 1106 lbs (500 kg)

Is there a difference in category between raw deadlift and deadlift?

Celebrity Deadlifting.

It's on after Dancing with the Stars.

Last week, Betty White did a clean lift of 310 lb.

Yes there is and it can vary between organizations

For instance the IPF doesn’t allow lifting straps as was used in the video.

Raw typically means a belt chalk and singlet

Some lifters can wear a squat suit or deadlift suit which helps with the initial pull off the ground.
