I was at the Highland games and saw this first hand. Got to meet Hafthor. He is genuinely a nice guy! What a power house. Can't wait for next year! Thanks for the awesome video!
I’m from England and changed my training to be reminiscent of a thrower. With aspects of strong man. Looking forward to doing my first highland game in a year.
Justin Altman it looks like he took extra time to size it up and get ready for it. Plus practice from previous attempts, I would assume this isn't something that he would practice as often and log press or atlas stones for example
Thor inspired me to lift some natural stones I found over my shoulder . Man was it tough! But I used the technique Thor shows Larry wheels in one of his videos . I got the stones up no problem. Thx for inspiring me guys!
I’m watching The Last Kingdom and I can’t help but to imagine a Great War happening exactly where they are. Also imagine if Halfthor was alive 1000 years ago, we would read about him to this day.
02:38 He could have injured his ankle pretty bad at that moment when he dropped that weight. Since he is distracting himself and not getting sight of what is happening.
Hafthor Bjornsson is the Strongest Man who ever lived. Unreal Brute Strength!

Insane press, and awesome to see the support from everyone competitors included!
So much testosterone for the last minute the camera blacked out
I'm training powerlifting style, but damnit... these videos make me want to fly to Scotland and pick up rocks.
It's much more badass

You being so excited to have both of them in your video at the end made me super excited!
His beard held that shit up for a second
These guys are phenomenal! Thanks for sharing the video, it's nothing we'd ever get to see otherwise!
Fuck failed twice and gets it third time all in same lift. That's strength. So many would just drop it, rest and try again
The crazy thing is that the 341 lb press was Hafthor's cleanest press! Unreal!

Agree with Spencer. He got the technique right in the last lift and I recon he even had more in the tank!
my next show has a block press. weights pretty light as its part of a medley, came here looking for technique pointers.

what were those stones doing over your shoulder?
Is that Matjaž Belšak at 1:21?
Edit: Nevermind. At 5:10 the same guy is on the screen, and it is definitely not him.
I don't even need to fuckin watch it cause I know the content is gonna be the shit!! Fuck yea Matt good to see you up and about doing bad ass shit!!
The strongest hug i've ever seen
Damn that was pretty awesome! 341 couldn't even imagine.
Do you have an idea when the HVIII brand card sleeve/wallet would be coming out?
That was just awesome to watch

For sure people that big will he spoke about
Highland games should be a great start to get into strongman.
For sure or the other way around

This is the New Hampshire Highland Games. It’s held at Loon Mountain in September and is seriously one of my favorite things I’ve ever gone to
WHOAH! Goose bump central!
Why are they wearing kilts?
Yooooooo. So intense
Fuck yeah dude! Dope ass vid .

Ho Lee Schiit. Now I want to go pick up some granite blocks to try this with.
Is it surreal being alongside some of the strongest people in the world?
The Last minute its black for me..? :/
Other than that, fucking awesome Lifts!
Same for me.

Matthew Vincent I thought we just blacked out from the awesome. Seriously, 330+lbs of stone? Christ.
Was that here in Colorado?
New Hampshire,
Loon Mountain
Steve Schmidt then went on to do the 352 and locked it out. Look it up on Facebook.
Yeah that was this year vs last year
Dude is so strong
