After seven consecutive years on the podium, Iceland's Hafthor Julius Bjornsson has finally won World's Strongest Man.

Hafthor "The Mountain" Bjornsson has made history with an incredible 472kg/1041lb world record elephant bar deadlift on his way to winning the 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic.

Eddie "The Beast" Hall has a bunch of strongman world records including the insane 500kg deadlift record and winning World's Strongest Man in 2017. But being at the top means everyone is trying to dethrone him and he's not just going to take it lying down.

The second half of 2017 showed us a newly invigorated and energized Hafthor Bjornsson. After taking second at World's Strongest Man, Bjornsson made it clear he's headed to 2018 looking to finally take the crown.

Hafthor Bjornsson has made it clear he's looking to get stronger, take Eddie Hall's 500kg deadlift record, and win the World's Strongest Man. In the meantime, he's looking to squat over 1,000lb — and he's just gotten one step closer.
