Björnsson Blazes Through Atlas Stones at World's Strongest Man
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, also known as The Mountain on HBO's "Game of Thrones," continues to dominate at the World's Strongest Man competition in Botswana.

Today, he blazed through the Atlas Stones in less than 25 seconds, unofficially. While his opponent was struggling with the third stone, he was already celebrating.

Yesterday, he posted a video of himself setting a new world record in the keg toss. Björnsson launched the 33-pound implement 24 feet and 6 inches above his head to clear the high bar.

These absurd displays of strength make you wonder just how strong a human being can be when they dedicate their entire existence to lifting heavy things.

Björnsson has claimed to be the future of strength. Judging by his feats in Botswana, I think the future is now.
