Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, also known as The Mountain, also known as The Scariest Character From Any Television Show Ever, has just confirmed his status as World’s Strongest Man, again.

In a video posted on his own Instagram account, he can be seen lifting what he claims to be “the heaviest deadlift ever done on an elephant bar”.

We aren’t gonna disagree with him.

He already holds the World Record for heaviest deadlift, and with this one being even heavier, that would mean that he’s breaking his own record. Impressive stuff.

The only downside is that he appears to be working out at his home gym without any officials present to certify the achievement, though, so we’re not sure if it will count in the record books officially.
