The Mountain has spoken! Game of Thrones' Hafthor Bjornsson smashed his own deadlift world record, pulling 505kg in a whopping 110kg pants. Stay tuned for more records to fall!
It's no surprise that the Guinness World Records themselves highlighted the momentous occasion of Game of Thrones' Hafthor "The Mountain" Bjornsson breaking his own world record. It was a foregone conclusion that the mighty Viking would one day eclipse the 500kg mark, and he did so in dramatic fashion.
Held at the 2025 World Deadlift Championship in Fairbanks, Alaska, on June 18th, 2023, Bjornsson went toe-to-toe with Eddie Hall, the previous record holder who achieved a lift of 500kg back in 2016. The event was a spectacle as both men were surrounded by excited onlookers, cameras, and stadiums filled with anxious fans.
The atmosphere was electric as the two strongmen strategized, paced, and psyched themselves up for the monumental lift. Bjornsson, with his 114kg frame, went on to blow everyone away when he lifted 505kg to equal Hall's record. But that wasn't enough for the Icelandic giant.
Upon hearing the applause and witnessing the excitement in the crowd, Bjornsson, with a determined look on his face, went for one more epic lift. And that's when the history books were rewritten, as he successfully lifted 510kg, screaming in triumph as he did so.
While Bjornsson's record-breaking performance was the main event, it was his overall victory at the 2025 World Deadlift Championship that made history. As the first strongman to lift 500kg and win the entire competition, Bjornsson stood tall as a champion, both literally and metaphorically.
So, buckle up, folks! The future's next generation of strongmen just got a notification that the bar has been raised significantly. Who will join Bjornsson in breaking the 515kg mark? We can't wait to find out!
