Hafthor Bjornsson is the strongest man in the world, and in this podcast, he gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it\u2019s like to be him, a 6\u20199, 420-pound man who can squat, deadlift, and bench press over 2,500 pounds.

He\u2019s also the 2018 champion of the World\u2019s Strongest Man competition (and hopefully the 2019 champion by the time this episode goes live), which involves incredible feats like . . .

- Lifting five large stones ranging from 220 to 350 pounds onto columns the height of a man.

- Pulling gargantuan objects arm-over-arm using a rope, such as planes, boats, cars, and giant tires.

- Carrying a 900-pound yoke made of two refrigerators across a 30-meter course in under 60 seconds.

You probably already know this, but Hafthor also played Gregor \u201cThe Mountain\u201d Clegane in Game of Thrones (RIP), and in this interview, we talk about how he\u2019s currently training to defend his World\u2019s Strongest Man title, how he manages his recovery, what his diet looks like, what supplements he takes (Hint: Legion), his favorite Game of Thrones experiences, how he\u2019s dealt with injuries, what his long-term aspirations are, and more!

As a genuine Hafthor fan, I had a hell of a good time talking to him, and I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did.
