Well, he recently turned to Instagram to share his impressive 190-kilogram (418.9-pound) physique update, leaving his fans in awe with what he has managed to achieve.

Once Hafthor Bjornsson announced his return to Strongman, he revealed multiple competitions in which he wanted to compete.

So, seeing that Hafthor’s training has been going well, he has high expectations for the upcoming show.
Hafthor Bjornsson had incredible performances at all of his competitions this year, but the lack of his overhead pressing power definitely proved to be the biggest weakness.

Luckily, Hafthor recently revealed that his upper body strength has improved a lot, which increases his chances of winning the 2024 Rogue Invitational.
Apart from his upcoming appearance, Hafthor Bjornsson has a few more goals for his future in Strongman. Most notably, he will be looking to further advance his own 501-kilogram (1,104.5-pound) All-Time Deadlift World Record.

Hafthor is undoubtedly the greatest deadlifter currently, meaning that his goals of breaking the record are realistic.
