Despite Giant 6’9 Frame, Strongman Legend Hafthor Bjornsson Flaunts Insane Stunt: “Some Say Big Men Can’t Stretch”

The year 2023 proved Hafthor Bjornsson’s resilience to the bodybuilding world as he continued with his workout routine irrespective of an injury. The Icelandic Strongman tore his pec muscle while bench pressing 556 lbs a couple of months ago. Moreover, the fitness community empathized with Bjornsson after the clip of the accident went viral.

The strongman, for his part, kept his fans updated about his recovery through his social media channels. The gym rat once again posted a glimpse of his workout session on his Instagram and he is leveling up the fitness game for sure!

Hafthor Bjornsson’s recent post from the gym 

The 34-year-old recently visited Italy and hit the Techno gym to get a good stretch, and was seen acing a glute spread with the help of the machine Flexability Posterior. He captioned the stunt as “Some say big men can’t stretch, I beg to differ.” 

Unlike many, for the Game of Thrones star not working out is a big task. He loves to lift weights and his recent injury didn’t let him reach his full potential in the gym. But post his surgery, Bjornsson has finally been improving. 

“Miss the feeling of moving these weights but I’m feeling relaxed and happy to take on the challenge ahead,” he wrote in one of his posts.  His positive attitude has kept him going despite the pain due to injury and surgery. The strongman is not new to such gym stunts. Earlier, he partnered with Matt Morsia, a Youtuber, for an exciting challenge.

The Mountain’s fitness challenge

One part of the challenge between Thor and Morsia was to lift each other and perform squats. For the Mountain, who doesn’t hurt himself while lifting weights, this was child’s play.

The Strongman aced the challenge first doing four reps of squats while lifting Morsia who had plates in his hands. But the thrilling point of the show came when Morsia managed to do five reps lifting Bjornsson.
