" We found out earlier this summer that Icelander Haf\u00FE\u00F3r J\u00FAl\u00EDus Bj\u00F6rnsson, aka &amp;quot;The Mountain&amp;quot; in Game of Thrones, is a professional powerlifter who travels the world to snatch around half-ton tire arrangements in strongman competitions. After watching him in action, the following news should come as no surprise: Bj\u00F6rnsson just became the Strongman, winning the 2014 Europe&amp;#039;s Strongest Man competition.  Our favorite villain goes by the nickname &amp;quot;Thor&amp;quot; when he&amp;#039;s not imploding skulls with his bare hands in Westeros. At 6&amp;#039;9&amp;quot; tall and 400 lbs. gargantuan, it&amp;#039;s hard to exaggerate what a truly large human this dude is. He benches 507 lbs., squats 770, and deadlifts \u2013 last we checked \u2013 994 lbs. Watch as Thor crushes the deadlift, the circus dumbell clean and press, the stone loading, and, of course, the run-around-with-uprooted-monkey-bars event.
