This special episode of Strength Stories commemorates the beefiest, burliest, most brutish of all skyr mascots, the fiery Icelander Jón Páll Sigmarsson. Siggy was a four-time World's Strongest Man winner, a record-setting powerlifter, and a national champion bodybuilder whose versatile strength was equaled by his competitive spirit and dramatic flair. Do not dare to call him an eskimo (if you know, you know). No seals were harmed in the making of this video.

550lbs with one hand strapless AND flexing his bicep is mind boggling. Rip to the GOAT.

I bought a bottle of nose torque off of eBay that contains a shard of Simgarsson’s spirit. If you rub it three times, he emerges to give you white lights on all of your attempts. Best $5,653 I’ve ever spent

Great stuff, you definitely earned a follow. You have the gift of speech. If the demons of the almighty algorithm looks on you with favor I’m sure you’ll go far.

Thank you, sincerely; this means a lot to me. Let’s hope the demons accept my beseeching. I am smearing bloody pentagrams on my monitor and praying to Wintermute

Not sure if anyone talks about it, but the last event that secured Sigmarsson his 4th title was changed during the competition

That’s wild. Would that be the 200 meter race with the 100 kg backpack?

@@storiedstrength indeed. I don’t remember what the original event was, but it was the first in a looooong history of WSM favoring certain athletes (foreshadowing the Edward Hall episode)

Glad someone agrees. When I told my boss I had to leave work early because I was the reincarnation of Catullus, I only ended up getting fired. Haters, man

Thank you! I appreciate the support, but I can’t endorse your stance on the honorable bull mastiff. Still hoping he’ll appear on the podcast haha

Can we get a Mark Henry bio? Vince McMahon told him if he did the competition and got 2nd place... he'd be fired💯 first Arnold Classic Winner in 2002.

Thanks for the request! Mark Henry is a legend; I’ll add him to the list. Right now I’m editing a video on two-time World’s Strongest Woman Jill Mills
