Strength cultivated over years of hardcore and consistent training doesn’t disappear overnight. While strength does deteriorate over time, it doesn’t completely vanish but rather lays dormant. It lays dormant until it is once again required and accessed. That’s exactly the takeaway from the latest feat of strength by strongman Hafthor Bjornsson.
2018 World’s Strongest Man, Hafthor Bjornsson is looking incredibly strong in some of his most recent training. While he has been focused on boxing as of late, particularly his match against foe Eddie Hall back in March of this year, Bjornsson is still a strongman through and through and showcased his incredible strength in recent training.
Putting himself through an intense upper body workout, Hafthor Bjornsson not only worked shoulders and back, but his chest as well. In the training footage posted to Instagram, Bjornsson completed a standing barbell press of 110kgs, incline dumbbell row, an incline dumbbell press, a wide grip lat pull down and finally face pulls.
