The Mountain breaks 1000y old record

 
The Mountain breaks 1000y old record. Game of Thrones actor Hafthór Björnsson (Better known as Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain) breaks ancient record from 1000

Game of Thrones actor Hafthór Björnsson (Better known as Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain) breaks ancient record from 1000 years ago.

"The record has been described in the Icelandic Sagas. The legend of the Icelander Ormur Stórólfsson goes that he walked three steps with a monster wooden log which weighed over 650 kg and was 10 m long. It took 50 mere mortals to help him place it on his back. After he took his third step, his back broke under the enormous pressure and he was never the same after that!"

In the legends, Ormur carried the crazy-heavy log 3 steps. Hafthór carried it 5.

Despite his size and obvious strength, I was doubtful that any man could crush a human skull with his bare (moar liek BEAR amirite) hands.
I no longer have any doubts however.

Just saying, but 650kg is around 1400lbs. This means that if this guy was a D&D character, his strength would be about 28 or so. And that is just a few points shy of a triceratops. So yeah.

Just imagine how strong he could get if he tried something like steroids. I know that is a terrible idea but it is still an interesting thought.

Not so sure he hasn't used steroids. Top athletes tend to.

Still think he is ******* fantastic, and I don't like accusing him randomly of juicing. But steroids give such an advantage in strength sports... if 1% of athletes use them, they're gonna be the top one percent of the competition. And only 1% of strength athletes make it to worlds strongest man if that

He is on steroids, that's a known fact that he and just about every other Strongman in the world have admitted to

He went from 7' 160 of pure wirey slimness to the 400lb monster he is now in 2 years. Doesn't matter what protein or food or training you do, that's not physically possible without the use of a steroid for expedited muscle growth and stamina
Shaw has admitted to having taken steroids, but does not condone them nor the members of the federation who do not require/require piss poor testing. "It's a don't ask don't tell basis, but it's a shame that you need them to even have a hope of competing now"
Zaviskus has confirmed and denied having taken them god knows how many times but shows every single symptom of prolonged steroid use Organ inflation leading to massive gut, lack of bumps on triceps (I have no ******* clue what the actual name is look it up), stunted height, etc
Nobody gives a **** about almost anyone else in the Federation because they don't place but you can see the symptoms and if asked most of them will admit to it off camera

Pro powerlifters aren't even tested. At the 3 levels of Powerlifting competition Amateur, Pro, and Elite Only Elite is required to test before competing. Amateur Unpaid it's generally the top 3 places for each lift are tested or random before the competition starts. Elite Unpaid as well actually. They just do it for the bragging rights and to show off, they don't need anything else requires you to test beforehand, and you can't use a shirt/squat suit for any lift. Pro paid and possible sponsor is the biggest amount of ******** I've ever seen in my life and why I train Strongman over Powerlifting. Pro does not require any form of drug or steroid testing, everyone uses a shirt, suit, or both depending on the days lifts, and almost never touch chest for bench or go full 90 on squat. They're also the biggest group of **** talkers since crossfit. At my last competition I'm an amateur because young and I have no clue what the **** I'm doing, but I go to the competitions with some guys that do Elite that I know from the gym I was just talking to some of the other guys for my group 17-18 class and some guys from the Elite group for stuff like best exercises for X muscle group, diets, etc, everybody friendly as **** and just loves the sport. While the Pro people were walking around in their shirts, shoving past people, wouldn't even shake your hand on a congratulations, and just acting like general pieces of **** . They left the lifters room a mess, chalk, supplements, banana peels everywhere. And they're not subject to testing. At all.The best part? None of them touched chest for bench. Huge arched back, only go down to a wood block being held a solid 8 inches above their chest. Then they have the balls to brag about how they can bench 600 and threaten to beat someone if asked if they can do it without the shirt


I dunno why I went on a rant. **** people on steroids who think they're tough **** . If you're on them and are the humblest ************ ever like Shaw, you're cool. But it counts for less. If you're an asshole who thinks it's all you and totally not your shirt or suit or multiple needles, then go **** yourself

Isn't he a strongman? Why're we on about powerlifters?

Also, IPF is drug tested, that said you can get by with drugs tbh, just time it right. I've only ever competed in the BDFPA (they're tight on drugs).
Roids can make a huge difference, but you gotta put the work in. I know guys who roid and do blasting and cruising cycles, and they're just as strong as me, if not I'm stronger. The difference? They're unbelievably leaner (I'm 12% bodyfat, they're around 6%, competition look) and bigger. Bodybuildiers to powerlifters. It's about how you work, how hard you work and the way you work. I started off as a weak **** and had **** gains, but I started to program right, nearly got a 270kg deadlift, got a 210kg squat (dat highbar ATG for max glute gains, sloots love glutes) and a 150kg bench. But I wouldn't of got it without proper programming, I've still got a long way to go.

So I think guys on roids who are at the top, still, deserve credit. To be ******* strong you gotta train hard. We can all appreciate what hard work is. We're all gonna make it.

I can understand not going down to chest on bench. You saw them doing this in training, right? Using a board? That's to help develop lockout strength. I find it very unlikely that they do that in competition, mainly because that's not how it works. You could probably go without training touching chest on bench and then hit a PR on bench in competition. That's just a training style and there's nothing really wrong with it I find. And the arched back? Were you ever a powerlifter? Did you not do the same thing? I could understand if the arch didn't appeal to you so you don't compete in powerlifting, and I can also understand the recreational lifter thinking the arch is b.s., but if you're competitive you've got to know how good arching is. But I agree with you about how equipped lifters shouldn't brag about benching 500 when it's a with a shirt and their raw is much lower than that. On a side note, how long have you been competing in strongman? I've been competing in powerlifting for about 9 months now. 18 years old. Pic unrelated.

Board: I see them doing it in training and in competition. I think it was this summer someone benched 975. ************* in a shirt and wraps, a soon as he gets on the bench he arches his back almost a foot off the bench and someone holds a wooden block to his chest. In total he went down about 6 inches and back up and it honestly looked like someone just re-racking. Training for lock out? No problemo. In competition? Josh pls go

Arched back: I don't do it in competition, and I know some people who do and do not. The ones that do only go a few inches off the bench, not enough to negate the entire ******* lift. I don't do it because A it's uncomfortable and B You seem to use your core to bounce it up and rack it with your arms/chest. That's not a bench. That's Crossfit

There is no reason at all why shirts should be allowed in competition. It's like saying "I can throw a football 100 yards" and then bring out a pitching machine whatever they're called for football same thing . The fact that they get defensive and rage out on anyone who asks them to lift without a shirt is pathetic. YOU are not capable of that lift. Your shirt is. Go back to the gym

I don't, I've only competed in one powerlifting competition in August and got blown the **** out because amateur were allowed to use shirt and suits. I'm training for it with a guy who does it, he's 2nd in world for his weightclass I think 220 . I met him through someone else at the gym who does powerlifting and got me into the sport, before that I was trying to do boxing money I do bench squat deadlift, but that's really it for all conventional stuff. I do log press, atlas stones that the gym FINALLY got, and tire flips as well. I'm not even that strong, but they keep telling me it's because of my age 18 as well since November and the fact that I do not follow anything even slightly resembling a program and have an absolute **** diet, but somehow manage to beat the people at the gym with a strict diet and religiously follow a workout regimen for the past x many years. If I WERE to take steroids I don't want to because bad connotations and **** needles I'd be able to deadlift 650-700, squat 5-6, and bench 405 by the end of the year. But I'm lazy and do things besides workout, like work and play videogames.

285lb

365 Squat

I've always wanted to try out competing in some kind of strength competition but never really knew where to start. I'm not very tall so I probably wouldn't make it in strongman right? As for powerlifting are there age requirements or a certain type of meet I should attend??

Bench 245lbs
Squat 375lbs
Deadlift 435lbs

I can't tell you about Strongman, but if you're looking into powerlifting I can help you out a bit. How old are you? All meets I know allow for an extremely wide array of age groups. Unless you 9 years old or something, you should be fine. It goes from teen on up I think.

You should probably enter a meet that has a division for raw and equipped. Assuming your relatively new, you probably don't know how to use suits and shirts well, so go with raw.

Those are some pretty good lifts for your weight. Keep up the good work, man.

To be honest I'm still wondering why equipped powerlifting got started. It's a little odd that people are using squat suits, bench shirts, and deadlift suits to lift more weight. I'm not sure I understand the point. But then again, I use a belt to lift more weight as well, and I'm not sure I can defend the use of it other than it lets me lift more weight. What about you?

Board: I'd be very interested in finding out what legitimate powerlifting competition allowed for board presses. Can you give source?

I've always been last in my division in my past three competitions, but that's because I was a) just starting out and weak and b) I was and still am too fat and thus was in a higher weight class than I should be. But, I do always enter in the raw division so I don't have to compete against equipped lifters. I was about to go to Men's and Women's Nationals here in San Antonio, TX in May, but I realized I'd have to compete against Equipped lifters, and I don't really want to get into equipped lifting now. I will sometime, just to see what it's like.

Yeah, your diet sounds like **** , but a lot of times results does boil down to "calories in, calories out." As long as you're in a calorie surplus you should easily be able to synthesize muscle. I'm still considering whether or not I want to take steroids. But I've still been able to get a lot stronger that past few months seeing as how I don't work other than judging debate tournaments on the weekends and I'm not in college yet. I've got a lot of free time, and I spend in sleeping, internet, and street fighter/other xbox games.

Stats:
18
218lb
255 Bench
405 Squat
495 Sumo Deadlift

I have a friend who's 170 and squats/deadlifts more than I do. Difference is that he follows a program and eats right, I do not It's totally not the fact that I had no clue what the **** I was doing besides benching every day until May. Nope, totally not that My squat is **** for some reason and doesn't want to move, it's been there since December. I've tried box jumps, sled, sled squats, stands, a whole bunch of **** .

I dont follow anything and I was in a gym twice in my life. That squat is from two months ago at friends house (he has wery well equipped garage). My legs are just strong (probably from hiking/mountainbiking). Btw my deadlift is weaker than squat (300) and I can benched only 185.

No problem

Not a regular shirt. A bench shirt put pressure on certain parts of the muscles using science and **** to contract and expand- basically it ******* doubles to triples your bench. There's a lot of debate whether or not lifts done in a shirt should ever count because it's not your own strenght. Example, the kid who just benched 700 in Texas for the high school record. That kid used a shirt, and could maaaaaybe bench 315-365 without one. It's essentially cheating, but somehow a large portion of the sport revolves around people who don't have the dedication or drive to get as strong as the want to get so they drop a grand on a shirt and two more for juice gimmick their way through training and competitions by throwing out big numbers that they could never actually do themselves. A squat suit is the same thing, except it also physically does not let you go below parallel, so it's another thing done for you because you're a ******* sham who can't do **** for himself you ******* pussy you have more money than dedication and your dad bought you your first car

HOWEVER

Shorts and a T-Shirt only in World Strongman. Go watch some competition. Arnold Classic, Brian Shaw deadlifts 825 for 8 and stops because he's bored. ***** is in a ******* pair of running shoes and some And-1 shorts

IPA is eh with testing, it's well known you can buy out of it. It's why you see nice guys who look like they've spent time in the gym benching 450 and deadlifting 680, then guys who are full synthol-mode and in 50 different types of wraps and gear accessories being pricks to everyone they see

Strongman is the same but everyone knows everyone is on steroids, but you still need to have decent genes for steroids to take effect. And they were ******* massive and strong to begin with.

Hahaha gotcha

Shame to hear about the IPF, and Strongman kind of sounds like cycling. I mean everyone got on Lance Armstrong's ass, but ignored the fact that the entire top 20 got called out for roid use. I enjoy watching strongman competitions and I follow Thor on Instagram because he's a boss, but I myself am rather short and genetically weak so I mainly lift to support my sport these days. I don't wear much for equipment, but I did invest in some actual powerlifting shoes and I gotta say they're phenomenal. Use them for everything from cleans, to bench, to squat.

"It took 50 mere mortals to help him place it on his back." It's a legend about a Hercules type character, a larger than life tale to tell around the fire. There's no ******* way anybody back then could actually carry that thing 3 steps. What makes it amazing is that there's a man alive today who can outperform feats described in legends back then.

Half height?
What? You think humans were 2-3 feet tall a thousand years ago?

Also, no, ancient people have some crazy feats of strength. For many, war was life. You could be born into it, and train from childhood in extremely physically demanding conditions. 200 lbs draw force bows, rowing warships hours on end, combat in heavy metal armor.

Not really, during the viking age Icelandic men had an average height of 172 cm compared to todays 180 cm and the more well fed people would probably mostly be above average.

Then i would really like you to explain why the houses where made with a much smaller frame than todays houses.

I live less than 4 miles away from Denmarks oldest house, which is around 800 years old, and it looks like a dwarfen home.

I think they'd sacrifice comfort for a slightly easier house to build, and with less materials.

I'd guess it would be so the houses would be warmer, and heat up faster. Don't quote me on that though..

Steroids dont shrink your dick, only your balls, and only while you're on cycle. Once you finish roiding and take Post Cycle Therapy, they grow back.

That's the dumbass way to do it. You take hcg the minute you notice shrinkage. Only taking it in pct elongates the road to recovery.

What exactly is HCG? I dont know much about roiding, I've only been reading about it a couple of days. Is it similar to AI?

It always shocked me to see people like this, hulking beasts that were more muscle than man. This Mountain seemed like he was born in the wrong time, and would have been right at home in the gladiator pits of the Coliseum. With my brain aching from over-consumption I tried my hardest to figure out how much he'd lifted, and how he hadn't died from the strain of the log. I guess some of us were just looking for ways to self-affirm out strength. Some took it out on criminals, some looked into themselves and saw the changes they wanted to be. This man looked at the Iceland challenges and decided he wasn't going to play by their rules anymore; their rules were old news, and he wanted to show them that in a new way. I felt sorry for anybody that ever got on his wrong side.

Too bad they didn't have synthetic testosterone/DHT steroids in viking times, because the mountain is on an assload of them. But there's a max you can reach naturally anyway, for some viking guy to of held 650kg is ******* impressive, most I've ever walked out is 300kg and I felt like I was gonna **** myself, there's no way I could imagine, no matter how many ergogenic drugs I'm on (I don't roid, but most strongmen do, and there's a reason they do, like the mountain, because there's only so far you can go naturally. It's his choice to do it too, I have nothing against roids, you still have to put an assload of work in, it's no magic drug), doing double that.


To be fair, he'd of likely died, due to how tall he is and how high his metabolic rate would've been as a result. The amount of food he'd of had to eat would've been quite a bit, it'd of lead to complications such as excessive protein loss from the heart so cardiac arrest. Though it's unlikely he'd be as tall as he is, due to poor nutrition at the time.

He told me most likely this guy was dosed up on more steroids than Barry Bond himself. I guess when you looked at the evidence, it was pretty clear that in the 21st century, drugs were still the rage, and everybody used them to cut corners. The thing that scared me more, and made me feel like a child again was that this man could get angry, and like the Incredible Hulk, I'd feel bad for anybody that would be around him. For all I knew he was a sweet as candy, but when the rotweiler's eating three meals for breakfast, you know it's building up for something. As for me, I was content in piling massive amounts of painkillers and cheap liquor into my body. I wasn't judging him for his ethics, or his actions. Only time would allow us to see that. The only thing that floated hardheartedly in my mind was that a an engine can only go so far when it's push one hundred and eighty flat. Hopefully the same wouldn't apply to him in the future. I agreed with lordofpenis. He seemed like he knew his stuff when it came to this. This bar had some smart people in it, if only for a short while.

In the same islandic saga, there was a guy named Thor. He walked 5 steps aswell. The Thor guy is known to be no other than the Viking legend Thor with the hammer Mjolnir. With that said, The Mountian has reached the strength level of "Viking God"!
