He is a symbol of strength to everyone who has seen game of thrones, and anyone who has seen game of thrones will remember the tall "Magic mountain". He is also one of the world's top hercules athletes, and in our article two days ago we featured his diet and that of other hercules athletes, as well as their huge bodies.
And today we are going to talk about the news that he has lost weight! Yes, you read that right, he really has lost weight.
All because of a boxing match he had with another world class hercules, the former world champion eddie hall.
Hafsór "Magic mountain" Bjornsson had lost 36 kilos before his fight with eddie hall and now weighs 170 kilos and looks significantly slimmer.
"Magic mountain" Recently updated his physique status on social media and found a new low of 170kg with the appearance of six-pack abs.
Both hafsór "Magic mountain" Bjornsson and eddie hall boxing are preparing for their fights and have lost so much weight that we can hardly imagine they will look like this.
We already know that 'magic mountain' is a very distinctive and iconic figure, a modern day 'viking'. At almost 2.1 metres tall, the icelandic hercules champion and actor was known for his sturdy build, often weighing in at over 180kg when competing. However, when he retired from hercules and decided to devote his full attention to boxing against his rival eddie hall, he started to lose a lot of weight. He wanted his heart to function as well as possible, which meant that he needed to retain his strength while weighing as low as possible.
Despite being over a year away from boxing, 'magic mountain' has already lost a lot of weight. He recently took to social media to share an update on his weight loss. This surprised everyone.
He said himself, "170kg makes you feel thin! Lost 36kg since i started my new journey to now. Should i lose more weight?"
That's an insane amount of weight for "Magic mountain", after just five months. Not to mention that it's crazy to think that a 170kg man still looks huge. Despite his stature, he still has an impressive six-pack at this weight. It also makes you marvel that he is a muscular man who was delayed by the hercules competition.
"Magic mountain" Is still dropping weight as he looks to get an aerobic edge over eddie hall, who is looking for the same afterwards.
He has also been working hard on honing his body and technique. He still has plenty of time to prepare so it will be interesting to see how they weigh when the fight starts.
Whether they are hercules, or boxers, they never stop training. But it also makes it clear that the quest for size and training focus is different for the different fitness goals of different competitions.
This also proves that for anyone, a scientific approach and plan to training and diet in fitness is an important thing.
