Bjornsson has been making quite a buzz in the sports world, for his attempt to hit a 501kg deadlift.

However, he has done what he can to legitimize the process, bringing in an official to regulate the attempt. In addition to that, it was revealed the entire thing would be streamed live on ESPN, for the world to see.
