I've been reading the other Arnold Classic thread and thought I'd add this. Wifey likes Game of Thrones and I do watch it when it's on and she's around, and I found the below absolutely nuts. I don't know what impresses me more, his stats (6'9" and 419 lbs), or his feats:
After breaking a 1,000-year-old world record during the World's Strongest Viking competition back in February by carrying a 30-foot, 1,433-pound log, Bjornsson added another notch to his belt with a world-record throw at the 2015 Arnold Sports Festival. The 6’9”, 419-pound Icelandic weightlifter posted videos (h/t BroBible.com’s J. Camm) of the feat to Instagram. With one arm, he managed to toss a 56-pound kettle bell 19 feet and three inches into the air.
Multiple Turkish getups with 24kg kettlebells are challenging, let alone flinging one 20 damn feet in the air.
