On this episode of the Shaw Strength Podcast, Brian sits down with Hafthor Bjornsson.

They discuss Brian’s weight loss and Thor’s return to strongman after boxing. Thor talks about how quickly his strength came back, tearing his pec, and how long it took to feel good again.

They get into Thor’s 515 kg deadlift attempts and why he pulled out of the Rogue Invitational. Thor is taking some time to recover and is honest about not knowing whether he wants to compete next year. He hasn’t announced his retirement, but his priorities have changed.

Brian and Thor also talk about spending time with their families, the demands of competing, and knowing when to back off in training. Brian gives an update on arm wrestling, and Thor shares his interest in doing more acting.

Thor also tells the story of signing up for his first strongman show the day before the competition, showing up without equipment, and borrowing gear from the other guys between events.
