The mountain tears pec from bone during a bench press.

Ouch! Note - the video with the volume down is not bad. Supposedly the sound is what is terrible. The reactions are expected.




Former Game of Thrones star and 2018 World’s Strongest Man Hafthor Bjornsson has suffered a horrific injury while going for his bench press personal record this week.

The 34-year-old, who was the World’s Strongest Man in 2018 as well as runner up three-times and third-place getter another four times, was on the return to powerlifting after a two-year hiatus to pursue boxing.

Bjornsson, who holds the world deadlift record of 1,104lbs, announced he was making a comeback to strongman competitions in order to break a number of records.

But he’ll have to wait after reportedly tearing his pectoral muscle off the bone while bench pressing 556lbs.

It sounded just like I thought it would.

Still debating if I really want to watch the video. Sound on or off I'm leaning towards no.

Ditto.

Older I get, the more these bother me.

Honestly, nothing to really see with the sound turned down.

I can watch Russians getting blown up by hand grenades dropped from a drone all day long, but this is personal as a fan of GoT.

Looks like Thor's pursuit of my records will have to wait. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Lots of times the muscle rolls up in to a ball and there is a cavity left from where it was.

I would think 550 for a dude this size would be a cake walk.

For sure, I did 3 sets of 5 at 550 this morning.

You joke, but that would be extremely impressive.
