World’s Strongest Man Hafthor Bjornsson Will do Full Powerlifting Meet

8 Nov , 2018

People are already discussing what Hafthor Bjornsson will total at the WRPF Thor’s Powerlifting Challenge.

What numbers do you think he’ll hit at the meet?

“News of Thor’s participation has set the internet alight with speculation about what numbers he might achieve.

While we’ve never seen a video of him maxing out on bench press (we have seen him bench 200kg for 10, and 215 for 4×3) his best gym squat is the 440kg in the video below, and he currently holds the world record for deadlift using an elephant bar, lifting 472 kg at the 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic.”
