“Miss the feeling of moving these weights but I’m feeling relaxed and happy to take on the challenge ahead.

Despite the strain of recovery, Bjornsson’s attitude remains positive as he revealed that four weeks after his surgery, he continues to improve every day.

Bjornsson’s tough journey to Recovery

Bjornsson’s journey to recovery has been filled with challenges. While he was pushing his limits during a heavy bench press session, he suffered a Pec tear. Unfortunately, things got worse after the surgery as he contracted an infection, which resulted in the development of an abscess.

He wrote in the post, “Wednesday I’m 4 weeks post-surgery. Sadly I got an infection 5 days ago resulting in an abscess and had to have a drainage tube inserted.” While his recovery journey is not yet complete, Hafthor is eagerly looking forward to the day when he can finally discard the sling that has been a constant reminder of his injury. He shared his anticipation that in just two more weeks, he will bid farewell to the sling that supports his pec muscle.
