GOT’s Mountain Aka Hafthor Bjornsson Comfortably Lifts 860 Lbs, Internet Reacts

The video showed him effortlessly deadlifting 860 lbs (390 kg) for reps. Dressed in his gear, the ‘Mountain’ performed four reps of the deadlift before giving a positive nod to the camera.

On January 7, this year, the Strongman announced that he will be attempting to break his own deadlift record of 510 kg, which was set in September last year at the Mutant World Deadlift Championships. Bjornsson claims that he can reach the deadlift weight of 550 kg, but for now, he will be attempting to lift 515 kg (1135 pounds) at the Enhanced Games.

Before this video, the Icelandic star shared his progress on April 25 on Instagram, where he easily deadlifted an even bigger weight. In the video, he lifted loads that kept increasing progressively. The weight starts from 70 kg and reaches up to a staggering 470 kg.

If all goes well, then this will be a fourth for Bjornsson after his record-setting 501 kg, 505 kg, and 510 kg deadlifts.
