This isn’t just a random feat of strength (but if it was, we wouldn’t be complaining). Björnsson is preparing to compete in his very own meet, “Thor’s Powerlifting Challenge,” on December 15 in Laugardalshöll, Reykjavík, Iceland. We’ve been following his training, showcasing his previous personal record of 880 pounds a few weeks back.   In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies

  What’s even more incredible about “The Mountain” is that he’s known more for his strongman success than his traditional powerlifting PRs. But he’s still as impressive as anyone that steps foot into the squat rack.
