In an unfortunate turn of events, Hafthor Bjornsson, the Icelandic Strongman beast, ended up tearing his pectoral muscle while making an attempt to pull out a bench press of a whopping 556 lbs. He had to go through surgery to get it reattached, however, he had a very difficult time getting through the process of recovery.

Just as he was done with the first surgery, The Mountain underwent another surgery to get rid of a bacterial infection. Just 4 weeks after, as he went for a check-up, he found out that he got hold of another infection and had to have a drainage tube inserted to get rid of it. But, all of these were not enough to bring the legendary athlete down and he has been better now and his recent post is a testament to it.

The Mountain recently took to his official Instagram account @thorbjornsson and posted pictures of himself at the gym post days after the entire process of his surgeries. Hafthor Bjornsson was back to his favorite place – the gym and it was pretty much evident from his expression.
