Hafthor looks amazing. I think this is probably the best weight for him. Particularly in terms of his overall fitness.

Telling the truth, this is meant to be a joke right? What pro athlete lies about the food they eat. The PEDs is what they don't tell you about. They don't tell you about their strongman days and how much gear they were on. They are still on gear now, just a different protocol to obtain different look and end result!!!
