The Real Life Thor and "The Mountain" Workout

Well, there you have it. Hafthor Bjornsson (a.k.a. Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane from Game of Thrones) just won the title as Europe's Strongest Man. As promised I said that after celebrating my favorite Game of Thrones character, "The Hound" with a workout that I would some day name a workout after his big brother "The Mountain". Today is that day!

Today's quote is by Doran Martell:

"If ever a man deserved to die screaming it was Gregor Clegane."
