Hafthor Bjornsson, also known as The Mountain to Game of Thrones fans, or simply Thor for his followers, has changed his body over the past year. Bjornsson retired from competitive sports in 2020 after turning 10.
In a recent YouTube video, bodybuilder Aseel Soueid (who followed the daily routines of super fit athletes like wrestler Roman Reigns and MMA fighter Conor McGregor) spends the day recreating the exercise and nutrition regimen Bjornsson himself He used to flex so dramatically in the past, plus he’s working on his stamina and maintaining an incredibly lean, muscular body.
As a strengthening for the day, Soueid begins with one of Bjornssons typical breakfast: three large eggs and boiled chicken breast, plus a smoothie made from oats, yoghurt and fresh berries. “Here the strongest man in the world becomes the strongest man in the world,” he says. “By having chicken for breakfast. Quite a lot of it … I suppose if you’re used to eating 10,000 calories a day like him, to drop his body weight by 100 pounds, he had to take tons, tons.” of clean food that will keep him full. “
After breakfast is out of the way, Soueid goes to the gym and does his best to copy one of the boxing workouts Bjornsson shared on his channel. “It’s great cardio,” he says. “I’m surprised that Thor can actually maintain such a level of stamina because he’s so big, so incredible respect.” After the sparring exercises are over, Soueid takes on four rounds on an attack bike, a grueling cardio and endurance session that Bjornsson counts as one of the toughest of his training sessions.
Then it’s time for meal number two of beef fillet steak, white rice, and green vegetables before the next workout begins: an upper-body weight training session with dumbbell shoulder presses, lat pulldowns, and facial features. “[Bjornsson] mentions that he’s just focused on maintaining strength, he’s not really training anymore to be the strongest man in the world, “he says.
The third meal of the day consists of more chicken with potatoes and vegetables. “An extremely clean and fraternal meal,” says Soueid. Ordinarily, Bjornsson’s day would include two more meals, consisting of salmon, rice, and vegetables, and yogurt with a banana and almond butter, which Soueid omits here.
“He only eats about 3,200 calories in total, which is crazy considering he used to cut 10,000 calories a day,” he says. “I can only imagine how much weight you have to carry, how you feel when you weigh 400 pounds at 6’9.”
