Fueling the Future Deadlift World Record: Hafthor Björnsson’s 8,000-Calorie Diet

The current deadlift record holder consumes 8,000 calories and 400 grams of protein per day.

Strongman diets are often extremely caloric, frequently reaching five figures. 2018 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) and current deadlift record holder Hafthor Björnsson recently invited Dr. Mike Israetel to evaluate his daily meals.

Björnsson’s day starts with one and a half liters of water mixed with Hydrate, an electrolyte powder, and creatine. His daily nutrition plan consists of five meals, which are organized when he wakes up and coordinated with his workout schedule. 

Björnsson consumes approximately 400 grams of protein en route to 8,000 daily calories. “I used to eat 10,000 calories daily. When I was younger, I was more active and needed more calories,” Björnsson recalled. “Now, I am old, lazy, and eat only 8,000.”

'That is absurd' – Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson sets incredible new world record leaving fans stunned

HAFTHOR BJORNSSON was branded “absurd” after smashing the deadlift world record once again.

The Iceland giant, who starred in hit TV show Game of Thrones, had already broken the record twice.

Rival Eddie Hall, who Thor defeated in a boxing grudge match in 2022, was the first man to deadlift 500kg in 2016.

But Thor set a new record at 501kg in 2020 before lifting 505kg in July.

And now, the 6ft 9in behemoth has shattered the record again by deadlifting 510kg in front of a live crowd at the World Deadlift Championships in Birmingham.

Thor, who weighs a crazy 31.4 STONE and eats up to 10,000 calories per DAY, barely broke a sweat as he made the lift look easy.
