Hafthor Bjornsson a.k.a. The Mountain was not only in Game of Thrones but he is a world record-breaking, strongman. He is 231 LBS and stands at 6’9” height so you can imagine the kind of beast that he is. Even after experiencing an injury in his pecs he still went strong and is training like nothing ever happened and gearing up to break his record of lifting 1045 LBS.

He recently uploaded a video on Instagram, showing his daily routine, where he not only does his exercises but takes the coldest plunge of his life while beautiful snow surrounds him.

In the video, it shows the Mountain bravely strutting towards the ice-cold water surrounded by snow, while wearing only his boxers. The giant bodybuilding champion seems very much at ease even at the coldest of the cold temperatures. He also makes the video funny by having funny background music along with using a comb to take care of his beard as he takes his ice-cold bath.

Finally, at the end of the video, there is a huge dollop of snow that is thrown on his face, and he seems to be having a good time in the snow as if he is inside a spa. Ice cold baths are extremely good for inflammation and different kinds of joint pains, but they are extremely cold as well so clearly, the Mountain has a lot of endurance.
