I Bet My Career on Hafthor Björnsson. Here is What Happened.

THE STRONGEST PROGRAM ON PLANET: https://taap.it/strongestprogram In 2016, ‪@Hafthorjulius‬ (The Mountain) asked me to be his coach. I was a powerlifting coach from Australia, and he was already one of the strongest humans on the planet. I didn't charge him a single dollar. Instead, I made him a deal: "When I make you #1 in the world, we sell the program and split the profits 50/50." I was willing to bet my reputation and future income on him because I wasn't guessing. I was using a system built on the lessons of three legendary coaches: Al Vermeil, Charles Poliquin, and Ernie Lilliebridge Sr. In this video, I break down the exact philosophy that took Thor from "top contender" to the 2018 World’s Strongest Man and the owner of the 501kg Deadlift World Record. The 3 Pillars of The Mountain's Strength: Strength is NOT Sport Practice (Al Vermeil) . Structural Balance (Charles Poliquin) . Recovery Management (Ernie Lilliebridge Sr.) . We also cover the controversy behind the 501kg lift, the rivalry with Eddie Hall, and Thor's return to breaking world records.
