Bodybuilding is a sport where athletes have to push their limits both physically and mentally. Injuries in this sport are a very common hurdle in this challenging journey. Many aspiring bodybuilders often experience setbacks that not only hinder their progress but also affect their confidence. However, there are a select few athletes who manage to rise above adversity and bounce back stronger than ever. One such inspiring figure is none other than Hafthor Bjornsson.

Ever since he played the role of the Mountain in the hit series Game of Thrones, Bjornsson has been garnering a lot of attention. And recently, he even made the headlines as he opened up about his progress following his injury.

Hafthor Bjornsson has good news for his fans

A few months ago, the Icelandic bodybuilder’s injury took the Strongman and bodybuilding circuits by surprise. Hafþór suffered a severe pec tear while performing an insanely heavy bench press of 556 lbs. It was a tough time for Thor to pass the period. Recently, The Mountain took to his YouTube channel to share his progress with his fans.

In a video, he showcased his current condition of the chest muscle. “I want to show you quickly how my pec muscle is looking when I squeeze it,” he said in the video. Despite being out of practice for over 30 weeks, the Mountain looked impressive, still maintaining decent size and form. However, the real highlight of the video was him displaying the condition of his chest and how it looked after squeezing the muscle.
