Dies while deadlifting, the ultimate chad move

Sigmarsson had charisma off the charts.

[@daviddeppa122]

His 1987 victory in Pure Strength over Bill Kazmier and Geoff Capes, probably the best three strongmen in the world at that time... Was One of the most impressive victories in strongman history, he was so dominant in that competition similar to how Marius Pudzanowski 2003 victory was by such a large margin over his competitors. However, his1990, WSM victory will always be marred with controversy, as this competition was clearly stolen from OD Wilson. it's a shame we lost him so young, would have been incredible to see the banter between himself, Kaz and MVM on Giants live shows nowadays.

The fact that steroids builds muscle without even lifting weights just proves how fake steroid users really are! Stay natural buddy!

There is a reason why every Strong Icelander has "Theres is no reason to be alive, if you cant do Deadlift!" tattooed in their shins.

[@Rastley85]

Love the words from Kaz about dying doing what he loved

[@abdulmutee]

Lol his dance with the husafell stone was even better than Hafthors in Icelands Strongest Man. My favorite moment is him dominating Pure Strength against Bill and Capes, and "To much POWER". I've set my life goal to deadlift 300kg and I will recite his "There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift" when I finally get it.

[@Nirsterkur]

I'm pretty sure Hafthor did the reverse and the twist in honour of Jon Pall. To this day he is his biggest strongman inspiration.

The greatest in my opinion and my idol

[@holt2706]

1984 was the first WSM I remember watching as a 9 year old kid and JPS shouting “the king has lost his crown” as he beat Geoff capes. He had the strength,the body and the charisma to make everyone like him 💪🙏

[@jamesmaitlandstewart08]

Hafþór has a tattoo of both Jon Pall and his legendary quote from Pure Strength 1987.

[@filipsuk9881]

Gone too soon😢

[@1vootman]

Great video, thanks for the upload!

[@DreynHarry]

I grew up watching him... he was my idol and the reason I became a stronman myself. since then I visited his grave 3 times... It was a sad in our lifes when he stopped the deadlift 😞

[@frankcastle2045]

He was my idol as well he inspired me in my short powerlifting career I was devastated when he passed away 😪

[@OriginalPuro]

If you go back to visit his grave, know that you represent all of us that can't. Jon Pall is great.

[@JosephMiller-hu7bq]

2:44 He was great but Kazemeir was robbed ALI like for 3 or 4 yrs from the strongman competition so a prime Bill who give a better battle
