However, the young and very ambitious athlete would eventually succumb to injuries and had to be sidelined. 

He’d later return to FSu Selfoss but could not compete anymore due to being injured which would force him to retire from basketball at age 20. 

Start of Strongman

Fate would lead Hafthor in another direction and little did know he’d become one of the most successful Strongman athletes in the sport’s history. 

“Thor” began his weight training journey at 17-18 years old and being the genetic freak that he is, made incredible progress very quickly. He attributes his hard work and discipline to making such amazing improvements and he was, as he would say himself, obsessed!

While he would have help from coaches, Thor knew it was ultimately up to him to do what it takes to become a champion. 

“You can have the best coach in the world, but that doesn’t make you a champion. You have to work for it yourself.”

Training Regime

Hafthor Bjornsson’s training has passed through multiple phases. First he trained for Strongman, then, once he came out of retirement, specialized for powerlifting. However, during one point in his career, Bjornsson was also preparing for his boxing fight with Eddie Hall.

We’ve included one of his Strongman and boxing workout routines below.

In a recent session, Thor took us through a full day of how he eats and trains everyday. Here are the details of his session. 

Before the workout, Hafthor wraps his hands and then does and then does warm ups. After that, he will work on boxing skills that includes movement, footwork, and improving his many areas. 

Next he does cardio using a stationary bike. His routine involves going slow for 30 seconds, moderate for 20 seconds, and very fast for 10 seconds. He’ll then rest for three minutes and repeat this for 3-6 more times. 

After boxing training and cardio, Thor hits the weights.

Upper body weight training routine

  • Seated dumbbell shoulder press x 5 reps
  • Cable lat pulldown 3 sets x 8 reps
  • Dumbbell biceps Zottman curls
  • Cable rope overhead triceps extensions 
  • Cable rope face pull 4 sets x 8 reps

After resistance training, Thor hops in the infrared sauna for 15 minutes and then into an ice bath for 15 minutes of which he is not too thrilled about. 

Hafthor Bjornsson’s Diet and Nutrition

Weighing a colossal 400+ lbs during his days competing in Strongman, the big man would consume a massive amount of calories. He’s shared his 10,000 calories per day diet during preparation for the 2020 Arnold Strongman Classic.

Career and Competition

Thor Bjornsson At Arnold Strongman Classic

Hafthor Bjornsson is one of the greatest strength sports athletes in history and has become an icon in the sport. His accolades in and out of Strongman will be talked about for many years to come.

In 2008, Thor met four-time World’s Strongest Man winner Magnús Ver Magnússon at his gym Jakaból and the legend saw potential in young Hafthor. It was obvious that he was born for the sport evident by his rapid success, including winning several shows just two years later in 2010, one of which was Strongest Man in Iceland. 

To make it more impressive, he placed second behind future 4x World’s Strongest Man champion Brian Shaw at the Jón Páll Sigmarsson Classic the same year. 

Hafthor competed in his first World’s Strongest Man competition in 2011, where he finished in 6th place. He managed to earn a spot on the podium for the next eight years, winning the World’s Strongest Man title in 2018. 

The Iceland native was also the first Strongman competitor to win the Arnold Strongman Classic, Europe’s Strongest Man and World’s Strongest Man in the same calendar year (2018). 

Thor suffered an injury during the 2019 World’s Strongest Man and settled for third place. This would end up being his last competition in the sport before announcing his retirement in 2020. 

Coming Out of Retirement

Hafthor Bjornsson’s love for strength sports reignited just a few years after he initially retired. He realized that boxing was not the sport for him, but simply lifting heavy weights and competing against others is what fulfills his soul.

In turn, Hafthor Bjornsson first decided to come back to powerlifting in 2023. This allowed him to specifically train the three core lifts and get his strength back up. However, he set a huge goal for himself, wanting to break the All-Time Raw With Wraps World Record. In turn, he was motivated to make as much progress as possible.

All was going well for Hafthor, which is why he decided to take part in a competition. However, during his appearance, specifically on the bench press, Bjornsson’s pec tore, cutting his powerlifting dreams short. Consequently, he had to undergo surgery, followed by months of recovery.

As his injury started to heal, Hafthor Bjornsson decided to return to Strongman. He announced his plan to compete multiple times in 2024 and continued preparing. Bjornsson’s first appearance back took place at the 2024 Arnold Strongman Classic, where he contended for the title up until he faced an overhead event. Unfortunately, this event pushed him down a couple of spots, and he ultimately ended up in fourth place overall. Just weeks later, Hafthor placed second at the 2024 Arnold Strongman Classic UK, with Mitchell Hooper being the only man to beat him.

Hafthor Bjornsson’s next appearance came at the 2024 Strongest Man on Earth competition. By this time, he had regained even more strength and was ready to put up an even better performance. He ended up winning five out of eight events, which is an impressive feat on its own. However, he still finished in second place, behind Hooper. The reason for this was once again his loss of points on overhead pressing events, caused by his prior pec injury.

Hafthor Bjronsson also has some massive plans for his future in Strongman. Namely, he has revealed his desire to break the All-Time Deadlift World Record in a competition, mainly with the goal of silencing those who were doubting him the first time. He also wants to win some more elite competitions, such as the Rogue Invitational.

Thor Vs. The Beast Boxing Match 

Thor Hall Fight
Thor Hall Fight

Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson and Eddie “The Beast Hall recently went head to head in one of the most highly anticipated boxing spectacles on Saturday, March 19, 2022, inside the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Stadium, UAE. 

Read full details on the bout here.

The former Strongman rivals, both who won the Strongest Man competition (Hall won in 2017 and Bjornsson won in 2018) developed bad blood through a series of back and forth stemming from drama during their competitive days. 

The bout between these two behemoths was originally scheduled to take place in September 2021, however, Hall had to pull out due to an injury of which the event was postponed.

Thor ended up winning the bout against his foe via unanimous decision (57-54, 57-54, 57-54).

Eddie Hall is hoping for a rematch now which could be possible sometime in the future.

Boxing Record and Future

Prior to signing the contract for his bout against Eddie Hall, Thor had no boxing experience or training. While he won’t be getting in the ring with Tyson Fury anytime soon (or ever), The behemoth has made leaps and bounds regarding his boxing skills. 

He shed over 100 lbs and took on a whole new ripped look in preparation for the battle with 2017 World’s Strongest Man Eddie “The Beast” Hall. 

He faced Pro boxer Steven Ward in an exhibition match that ended in a draw, took on Simon Vallily and got dropped (draw), defeated armwrestling legend Devon Larratt via TKO and beat Eddie Hall by unanimous decision. 

Hafthor Bjornsson’s plans to spend some more time in Strongman, adding to his stacked resume, winning titles, and breaking records. He has not talked much about what his plans after 2024, but everything indicates that he will continue doing Strongman.

Personal Life

Hafthor was in a relationship with Thelma Björk Steimann, who he has a daughter (Theresa Lif) with. He also dated Andrea Sif Jónsdóttir until 2017. 

Bjornsson married his current wife Kelsey Henson in 2018. They met in 2017 when Hafthor visited the bar Kelsey worked at in Alberta, Canada while he was in town for a Strongman event. The couple quickly received lots of attention for their massive height difference; Thor stands 6’9″ tall while Kelsey is just 157cm or 5’2″. 

On Saturday, 26, 2020, Hafthor and Kelsey welcomed their first child together, a baby boy who they named Stormur Magni Hafþórsson. The couple plans to have another child at some point. 

Thor can speak five languages: Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, English and French. He also has many tattoos related to his viking heritage and also has a tattoo of Jón Páll Sigmarsson, the first man in history to win the World’s Strongest Man competition. 

Facing challenges much harder than Strongman competition 

The Icelandic former Strongman has talked about going through extremely challenging times. In a 2019 interview, he explained not having seen or been able to hug his daughter in three years.

“That’s the hardest thing I’ve gone through,” he explained while very emotional. “And The hardest thing is there’s nothing I can do. Of course, if I could I would go now and see her. But sometimes you’re put into different positions but that’s life, it’s unfair.”

Hafthor said that she motivates him to be better and is probably the reason he won the World’s Strongest Man. At the time of the interview, he explained that he’s doing everything in his power to see her despite the unfortunate circumstances. 

Hafthor Bjornsson admits that success can mean many things and no one could argue with this. While achievements, money, and status are all a form of success, Thor also does what he does for his family. 

“When I’m working hard in the gym, I don’t want to let them down I want to make them proud, that’s my biggest motivation.”

Bell’s Palsy 

In 2017, Bjornsson was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, a type of paralysis that typically affects one side of the face. It’s very noticeable in the person who has it because the symptoms include twitching, inability to move that side of the face, and weakness. 

Endeavors and Social Media

Despite having such a busy schedule, Thor makes sure to stay active on social media, although he admits it’s hard to do.

He currently has 890k YouTube subscribers and tries to post content regularly to keep his fans updated with everything going on in his life. The multi-talented athlete also has 4.3 million Instagram followers. 

Hafthor also has a clothing brand, Thor’s Power apparel. He’s also sponsored by companies Reign, Transparent Labs and The Beard Struggle. He’s always involved with business opportunities and is focused on growing his brand.
