Hafþór Björnsson, a 6-foot-9 and 400-pound Icelandic strongman famous for portraying ‘The Mountain’ on Game of Thrones, stopped Western Sports Round-Up on Friday afternoon while in town for the Resistol Rookie Roundup presented by The Cowboy Channel.
Björnsson talked with Jeff Medders about his training program, recovery and how Thor’s Skyr fits into his routine.
“If you look at what these (rodeo cowboys) are doing, it’s extremely physical and to be able to get that extra protein in before and after what they do is very critical,” he said. “The probiotics we have in the skyr are going to settle the tummy and make them feel ready.”
