In October 2022, Hafthor Bj\u00f6rnsson announced he would hang up the boxing gloves to return to professional strongman<\/a>. In the same month, the former 2018 World’s Strongest Man<\/a> (WSM) champion revealed he would also compete on a sanctioned powerlifting platform<\/a> on Dec. 3, 2022. (Note: To date, the exact name of the contest remains undisclosed.) Judging by some of his recent social media updates, the strongman living legend is working full steam ahead to be in tip-top shape for all sorts of strength<\/a> sports competitions. <\/p>\n

On Nov. 10, 2022, Bj\u00f6rnsson shared an Instagram clip of himself completing a raw 360-kilogram (793.6-pound) deadlift for two reps during a training session. The strongman\/powerlifter completed the deadlift<\/a> from a conventional stance<\/a>, wore just a lifting belt<\/a>, and was in his socks. <\/p>\n
