Matt Morsia has a history of working out with popular sporting celebrities like Eddie Hall. In his latest video, the fitness freak competed against the former Arnold Classic Champion. There were a series of different rounds but the highlight of the video came when both stars had to lift each other and perform squats. Considering the huge build of the Mountain, Bjornsson was having an advantage in the round.
But things didn’t go as the strongman would be expecting. Thor went first and completed four reps with Morsia on his shoulder and an additional plate in Morsia’s hands. Morsia was feeling a bit skeptical before lifting the giant as he said, “Am I going to die now” in the video. However, his performance shocked the viewers as he proudly executed five reps, winning the round.
The video showcased other challenges like the rope climb, sled pull, and dips and deads. The exercises were aimed at assessing their individual strength levels. Matt ended up winning the overall contest with a slight margin of 3-2. However, the fitness vlogger was shocked to see the exceptional strength of the star. However, this wasn’t the first time Thor shocked its viewers with his explosive power.
