The Mountain is at the top of the deadlift world.
Game of Thrones actor Hafthor Bjornsson, who played Gregor The Mountain Clegane in the HBO series, set a deadlift world record by lifting 501 kilograms (1,104 pounds) on Saturday.
Bjornsson, the 2018 World's Strongest Man, made the successful attempt at Thor's Power Gym in his native Iceland.
I believe today I could've done more, but what's the point? the 31-year-old Bjornsson told ESPN.
I'm happy with this. Eddie Hall set the previous record in 2016 at the World Deadlift Championships, with the Englishman lifting 500 kilos (1,102 pounds).
