Hi!

Hafþór is doing great now with his training and eating. Hopefully he will challenge most guys this year and become WSM 2015.
Found a picture of him on facebook, where he states he is 172kg and looks like in good shape.
Though, he is so tall (206cm) so he seems smaller than he really is.

What BF is this you think?

No idea on his bf%, but I always enjoy watching him compete in strength events.

Isn't he 6'9 and 419lbs? He doesn't look THAT huge when he's by himself (meaning 419lbs huge). But then when you see him next to a average sized man, you get an idea of how massive he actually is.

He is 2.06 m (6 ft 9 in) yes. But the last year or two he's gone down in weight and is really getting in shape. Not many that can say they're over 300pounds with almost a six-pack.

Yeah, but when you're that tall, the scale changes. I'm sure he's really dropping weight for health reasons. That plus it must hurt the joints really bad to be carrying around that much weight. Plus he'll get more movie opportunities if he gets leaner.
