@@avxy3632 The 11% was way off though. Skin fold calipers are VERY inaccurate as a means of measuring body fat. They are a tool that can be used to measure loss or gain but are poor for establishing ones body fat percentage. Dexa scan or hydro-static weighing are accurate. A true body fat level of 11% is leaner than his current condition.
I know this is already said a thousand or so times, but thank you King for sharing this journey with us!! The music is also on point!! This is my favourite journey of all time!!
4:07 "Choo choo" 🚂 4:22 "ahh yes"💪 4:34 "yes"💪 4:47 I don't know what he said. It sounds like "EEEKKK LATS!!!!", But I don't think that's what it was. 5:35 "YEss"💪😡 7:16 "YEAAAASSS!!!! Come on! Let's gooo!"💪 7:50 "YEAAAAAAS!"💪 15:56 "Yes!... Yes"💪 16:33💪 17:04 "Yes"💪
Great 217.5 kilo Bench and 320 kilo for 5 reps Squats Thor! Also great back down work and supplementary work as well. Really enjoyed both days. Monolift release is very very important. It's good that the discussion happened between you and dad after the communication issue. 100% having faith in you champ, can't wait until you break the ATWR!
After all you've accomplished in Strongman, TV and strong lifts, it's cool to see you get back to it and challenge yourself to build your muscles back up and compete again. That takes wit and determination! Cool to see!
Really enjoying these 2 days in 1 video's Haffi. I always believe in you and I know that you will break the world record. Also wishing your friend a very happy birthday.
Looking great, body comp wise and your strength is coming up nicely. Would love to see you set a powerlifting record. I hope you can do it within your timeline.
The narrower grip also increases your range of motion, but as a strongman I can understand why you are preferring a more narrow grip, because it's more stable as if you were doing an overhead press, because you don't want to go too narrow and you wouldn't go nearly as wide, you would go in your power position, just like you would with hand release push ups, that should also translate to the bench; people go a lot wider because it decreases the range of motion and a can get a little bit more chest activation that way
A good way to really find your most powerful position with maybe one plate on the bar would be to let it go while it's on your rib cage and then regrip the bar and press; it's the same as hand release push ups to find your most powerful position that doesn't destroy your shoulders and the acromiumbrachialis (?) (I forget how to spell it)
I use the exact same placement on the bar when I bench , I'm 196cm tall , 155kg weight, my bench press is 283.5 kg and I just turned 50 on 16th of March. I love watching your videos , and I've been a fan for 10 years, way before your RUclips days
Wtf I was just playing Hades before watching this video and thought I left the game open or something when the soundtrack kicked in. Sick OST, great choice
Stefan's Birthday was 20th March which means Day 17 is almost 2 weeks behind real time. I think Hafthor will have to upload some 2 days in 1 videos to catch up.
Well if you're going to bulk to 485, might as well go for 500 cuz ya just KNOW thats going to REALLY turn heads and catch headlines. [...] Imagine weighing a quarter ton. Also loving the Starcraft music :D EDIT: If you're feeling in good health and enjoying it etc etc obv no point going for 500 if you feel like shit at that weight. of course. I'm just daydreaming lol
As a fellow Scandinavian, I can feel the effortless power! Subscribed, Viking power (Svend Karlsen) However it does not rub off on me lol. Stil repping 80kg for 5 :(

Different recipes built around Thors Skyr could be fun
Subscribed, liked & commented. We definitely need this one.
My part is also done. Let's make it happen ! 💪
Hafthor 485lbs is not enough. Big show was 513 pounds back in the days in the 90s and his highest he bulked up to around 530lbs or more.
April fool's, a.k.a acceptable clickbait.
Would love to see the meals that fuel these workouts, Hafthor.
Love your perseverance son. The hard work will take you to the victory. I have no doubt whatsoever. As usual wishing you the best of luck from USA.
You're in great shape for weighing in at about 175-180 kg, impressive.
His body fat percentage was around 11% last he was tested on video. He has a large core because of his conditioning for strongman.

@@avxy3632 And he is 206cm high.
@@MovieMuscleright, hes probably around 15-18 %. Still incredible shape for someone weighing 180 kg

A 20 minute video! Thank you GOAT!
You look like your having fun on journey , everything goes better when you enjoy the journey not just the destination
I'm happy v to see my old and crazy friends Stefan and Andre in this video. Very very nice😊 greets from Marcel

Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you buddy. 4:47 is *Skítlétt* (it means light weight/ light shit).
@@Nirsterkur thanks 👍
I lifted 150 kg for biceps can you..?
it actually would translate to ''light as shit''
I am Icelandic
@@slimebeats4850 hm ok.
Didnt expect starcraft music but that was so awesome. Would love to watch thor play it.
Your calm and stoic way of training is inspiring. TOP! 🤙
7:00 Halo music starts, great choice
15:30 Halo again
Watching Thor's videos can take the place of actually going to the gym for me. Watching these videos I can feel my muscles growing! :)
Go to the gym bro. :D
🦾🔥 crushing it man.

This video is about 2 weeks back I guess. He has now done a 225 Bench and also 232.5 at a different location.

Man I haven't missed 1 video, following you till you make it! Good luck
Music at 16 mins felt like major Masterchief energy
It is!
Impend- halo 2. I have it saved in my playlists actually lmao. Best halo soundtrack hands down.
id love to see tyler1 and hafthor stream
Starcraft terran music so epic great session thor
You are amazing. And your dad looks so young. Viking Genetics.
I just noticed the length of the video matches the year! *2023*
Wonderfull recovery. ! Right back .on track. Plenty of warm up is looking good . What a quick comeback already, Nice work.
Bench is going up!!
Looking great Hafthor keep going inspirational as always
The first time I think in your quest, your starting to look like old Thor....Definitely seeing changes in your physique...go Thor wot wot!
Starcraft music 3:55 hit me like asmr chills
epic
"it's easier to squat a 200 kg than an empty barbell" - Hafthor Bjornsson
Totally agree
By all means Thor, you have every right to be called THE KING! 👑
Another killer video! Never stop uploading.
Looking great, body comp wise and your strength is coming up nicely. Would love to see you set a powerlifting record. I hope you can do it within your timeline.
I apreciate the use of Starcraft 2 Music. Terrans Themes are still the best!!!
There is only one king and that's Elvis. Awesome work thor! Keep it up! 😀💪💪
Hafthor is the 👑 King of Strength!
Btw, did you know that Hafthor has a tattoo of Elvis Presley in his right lower leg?
I truly adore the epic music in this one! And Good Lord, Hafthor's Back at the end of Day 16 is *100% TERACHAD!* 🦍
starcraft music!
halo music!
You're beyond obsessed, Nirmal. 🤣
the Starcraft music is just sending me
The Greatest Strength Athlete of all time, Hafthor Bjornsson!
I knew the music was from Halo 2. The track is called Impend. It's around 15:40
I love the StarCraft music in his videos haha
Hey Thor Greg Doucette is smashing you for coming back with your weight gain, you know Doucette is the guy with the Squeaky high pitched Voice.
Nice video. I would love to see you doing another sparring with Gordon Ryan once you reach your desired weight.
The narrower grip also increases your range of motion, but as a strongman I can understand why you are preferring a more narrow grip, because it's more stable as if you were doing an overhead press, because you don't want to go too narrow and you wouldn't go nearly as wide, you would go in your power position, just like you would with hand release push ups, that should also translate to the bench; people go a lot wider because it decreases the range of motion and a can get a little bit more chest activation that way

155 kg?What do you eat to keep such a weight?Could u do a video of your bench?
hmmmmm
In Hafthor's hands that Ohio bar looks like a coat hanger. Yeah, the same one that wobbles around like a telephone pole when I work out....😬
Absolutely love the halo music 👌🏻
10 reps of incline db press with a pair of 150-pounders. Holy hell.
Love you have your dad there during training
Wtf I was just playing Hades before watching this video and thought I left the game open or something when the soundtrack kicked in. Sick OST, great choice
LIGHT WEIGHTT FOR THE BIG MAN❤🔥🔥
Outstanding gentlemen great job! 👏 👍
Great motivation 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Starcraft sound track 🤣🤣😁❤️
Gua sha is an excellent recovery tool can definitely recommend this
Shew,glad you were kidding. Thor rules.
Whoever edits this loves Starcraft. Góður smekkur!
Til hamingju með afmælið um daginn Stefán!
Stefan's Birthday was 20th March which means Day 17 is almost 2 weeks behind real time. I think Hafthor will have to upload some 2 days in 1 videos to catch up.
great video!
STARCRAFT TERRAN MUSIC YUSSSSSSSS
18:17 This is a Blue Whale! Look at the size of those fucking legs!
Bulking to 220kg? Thor is trying to break the total WR with his squat.
It was an April Fool's Day!
What’s the point of the different squat bar? Is it for lack of shoulder mobility or does it work the legs in a different way?
Happy Birthday to Stevan
Starcraft 2 featuring in the music
Love the series. As a Norwegian, is it "Shit easy" you are saying in Iclandic? "Skit lett!" ?
As an Icelander, you are correct. Although I'd say "light" would be more accurate. "Light as shit."
Drit lett.
@@haukurthorsmarason5267 makes more sense! Takk :)
@@perrrry bare hyggelig.
Was that Starcraft music during your bench presses?
He should have named it "bulking to 401 pounds", just to tease Eddie Hall 😂
Terran music again ❤
Legend
starcraft 1 music lol NICE
do they play StarCraft music in the background.. lmao, been hearing it for the last couple of episodes.
That Terran Theme song thoughhhhh
new bench grip looks more fitting for your size
Someone told me the index finger on the knurling mark (Hafthor's new width) is the widest grip they are allowing at competitions. Is that true? 🤔
@Donnie Thanks for clarifying.
Colab with Olivares would be great.
Day 6 of asking Thor to travel and show his beautiful country❄️🤌🏼
When's the 'full day of eating' dropping? Give the people what they want 😂
Also making a video with Levan Saginashvilli would be great.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, Stefán Sölvi Pétursson and Andri Reyr Vignisson, now that's a Dream Team!
Runar the little is missing (83KG Guy)😅
1:30 I would bet Thor has more muscles in his finger than xQc has in his arms.
Halo music is still so fucking good
I love these vids
Thors joking but if he wants it he might have to get to 220kg
Loving the content! Keep it up. What are your thoughts on Jesus Oliveras' new record in sleeves.
LES GOOOOOO HAFTHORRRR
Dude, the strength progress seems pretty ridiculous.
Just Belive in U self U if anyone can Do IT!🥰🥰💪💪💪💪💗💗💗💗
love your videos
Lol around 4:20 - 4:30. The starcraft 2 themesong haha!!! Does anybody else get this ?
Hello Hathor I am in the UK but we are doing a cruise in May to Iceland. Can I come along to your gym for a selfie please? If so where are you based.
Lightweight yeah buddyyyyy
Hafthorrrrrrrrrrrr
Strong and in great shape
01:30 hahaha im dying
Well if you're going to bulk to 485, might as well go for 500 cuz ya just KNOW thats going to REALLY turn heads and catch headlines. [...] Imagine weighing a quarter ton.
Also loving the Starcraft music :D
EDIT: If you're feeling in good health and enjoying it etc etc obv no point going for 500 if you feel like shit at that weight. of course. I'm just daydreaming lol
It was an April Fool's Day!
Surprised to hear XQC name here!
Gonna need it bro. Jesus just ruined your holes with a new WR.
Wraps vs. Sleeves are Different Records.
You look like a Spartan when you rowing impressive
Notification squad 🔝
As a fellow Scandinavian, I can feel the effortless power! Subscribed, Viking power (Svend Karlsen) However it does not rub off on me lol. Stil repping 80kg for 5 :(
If that's near your max potential then that is fantastic.
