'The Mountain' from 'Game of Thrones' Breaks 1,000- Year-Old Weightlifting Record

As if there was any doubt, Hafthor Bjornsson—aka "The Mountain" from the movie 'Game of

Thrones'—recently proved that he is a very strong man.

The Mountain had already been named Europe's strongest man . Over the

weekend, he added to his legacy by setting a record in the World's Strongest

Viking competition.

Bjornsson broke a world record that, according to IronMind , had stood for 1,000

years. What did he do? He took five steps while carrying a log over 30 feet long

that weighed 1,433 pounds.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he won the competition.

According to his Instagram account, Bjornsson now has his eyes set on the

World's Strongest Man event.
