Europe’s Strongest Man, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (I dare you to pronounce that!), best known for playing Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane on HBO’s Game of Thrones, was defeated in an arm wrestling match to a hill of a man.

The Icelandic strongman, who weighs 419 pounds and stands 6’9,” was beaten like a Dornish prince by world champion arm wrestler Devon Larratt, who weighs 225 pounds and stands 6’5.” Left arm, right arm, it makes no difference!
Check out the bout in the video below.
I think The Mountain could use some advice from 1987’s Over The Top. “What I do is I just try to take my hat and I turn it around, and it’s like a switch that goes on,” said Lincoln Hawk (Sylvester Stallone) in the American masterpiece. “And when the switch goes on, I feel like another person, I feel, I don’t know, I feel like a… like a truck. Like a machine.” Lesson? Get a hat!
Game of Thrones Season 6 will air on HBO in 2016.
