What The Mountain drinks during training will probably make you feel sick

Alan Loughnane

Disgusting…

If you watch Game of Thrones, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson will be familiar to you as he plays the role of The Mountain in the TV series.

The 400-pound Icelandic strongman is training for the World’s Strongest Man competition and as such is working and training hard, which means that his diet has to be on point.

He has to consume thousands of calories a day just to maintain his mass and even more if he’s doing particularly gruelling weight sessions.

Sometimes “Thor” gets so sick of eating multiple times a day that he piles all of his food into a blender and drinks it down nice and quickly.

Even a full plate of rice, vegetables and chicken…

While we can’t vouch for the taste of this, the very thought of it has turned our stomachs somewhat.
