6 commandments “The Mountain” lives by

Game of Thrones actor and professional strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson got to Instagram to emphasize once again God-like strength doesn’t come without sacrifice.

The Icelandic native who’s actually the World’s Strongest Man has really inspiring feats of strength. The 200kg 29-year-old taken to Instagram to set the record straight. “You wanna know my secret?” Björnsson asked his followers. “There is no f*cking secret!! Hard work and being consistent is what makes the difference from being good to being the best!!!”

However, despite the brutal advice, his subs keen to learn how does Thor cultivate mass, increase strength, and smash the competition in the process.

So The Mountain did go on to deliver six commandments he lives by:

  1. Never miss a meal
  2. Never miss a workout
  3. Never miss 6-8 hours sleep
  4. Never stay up late
  5. Never drink alcohol
  6. Do whatever it takes to be the best in your sport

It is quite visible that his life rules are read more like a list of “don’ts” rather than “dos and don’ts”.

But we all have to remember Björnsson is apparently a fan of routine, sacrifice, and commitment when it comes to his training and diet. So such a message of thoughts was predictable.

Thor identifies steering clear of alcohol, an interesting omission given that he’s part owner of Icelandic Mountain Vodka.

“I never said I don’t believe in my product,” Thor said when responding to being called out. “I love the vodka and gin, but in this chapter of my life I’m not drinking it.”

Björnsson also took the time to share what constituted as “late” when it came to bedtimes.

“After midnight is late in my opinion, but obviously this differs from person to person.”
