The Mountain's New Peak: Hafthor Bjornsson Shatters Deadlift Record Again!

Hafthor Bjornsson Smashes World Deadlift Record with an Impressive 505kg Lift!

In a jaw-dropping display of strength, former Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson has shattered his own record by lifting an astonishing 505kg in the deadlift challenge. The Icelandic strongman, who rose to fame for his portrayal of The Mountain on the hit HBO series, proudly shared the achievement on Instagram over the weekend.

Bjornsson's incredible feat is not a surprise, given his reputation as one of the strongest men in the world. In 2022, he competed in the same challenge and became the champion by lifting an impressive 500kg. But this latest achievement takes it to a whole new level! The 36-year-old actor and bodybuilder didn't flinch as he squatted down to lift the mind-boggling amount of weight, demonstrating his incredible power and control.

Celebrities including Terry Crews and Arnold Schwarzenegger took to the comments section on Instagram, congratulating Bjornsson on his remarkable achievement. The video of the challenge has gone viral, with fans and fellow athletes alike praising the strongman's incredible strength.

But what's behind Bjornsson's Herculean physique? According to the actor himself, it all comes down to his daily diet. He consumes a whopping 8,000 calories per day, consisting of three meals and three snacks. Yes, you read that right – 3,000 calories per snack! In a YouTube video, Bjornsson revealed his meal plan, which includes:

• Three eggs, 1lb of cooked rice, half a cup of strawberries, and two cups of milk for breakfast
• A shake consisting of one cup of orange juice, nearly one cup of Skyr yogurt, and half a cup of blueberries
• A "snack" of a 4oz steak, nearly two more cups of rice, half a cup of vegetables, and an avocado

He repeats the same meal for lunch, skipping the avocado. And to top it all off, he washes everything down with another shake without the blueberries.

But what's truly remarkable about Bjornsson is not just his physical strength but also his emotional resilience. Just last month, he and his wife Kelsey shared an emotional post on Instagram commemorating the anniversary of their daughter's passing. The couple had suffered a devastating miscarriage in November, losing their second baby.

In a poignant joint post, they addressed their daughter Grace: "One year. 365 days have passed since your day of birth. 366 days have passed since we learned of your death in my womb. One year, 365 days, without you here, with us."

They shared photos of the brief time they had with their baby girl and expressed their grief over the loss of so many firsts that they would never get to experience.

But instead of letting their pain consume them, Bjornsson and his wife chose to use their platform to raise awareness about miscarriage and pregnancy loss. They want to reduce the stigma surrounding these issues and help others who have gone through similar experiences.
