Hafthor Bjornsson reveals training and diet a week out from his next match.
Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson has always been a beast of a man. Once weighing a massive 205kg (451lbs), Thor now tips the scales at 155kg (341lbs). See, still pretty massive. But despite that, dropping that amount of weight within the last year and a half is truly impressive.
155kg (341lbs) still sounds like a whole lot. But when you see the recent before and after Thor posted on his Instagram you can see how much his physique has changed. Thor has gone from massive and bulky to massive and shredded.

How did he do it? But remaining dedicated to his training for his upcoming battle with Eddie Hall. But that’s not all Thor has done to drop the weight. It required him to make a massive lifestyle change. Namely, Thor had to massively alter his diet in order to shed the fat and maintain his muscle mass.
