Using the elephant bar, a piece of equipment made by Rogue specifically to handle the intense weights used at The Arnold, âThe Mountainâ recently pulled 440kg (969 pounds) during training, which you can watch in the video below. Björnsson is no stranger to heavy deadlifts. With a world record of 501kg, he already surpassed strongman Rival Eddie Hallâs famous 500kg attempt in May 2020. He also holds the world record for the elephant bar (474kg) and hopes to match this feat when he sets foot on stage at a strongman contest for the first time in four years.
