- FULLSTERKUR is the third documentary in a collection of films produced by Rogue Fitness, exploring strength culture around the world, connected specifically by the ancient tradition of stone lifting.
Nestled at the doorstep of the Arctic Circle, the country of Iceland is uniquely acquainted with the relationship between strength and survival. For hundreds of years, men and women were challenged to overcome harsh weather and endless winter nights by developing their own distinct physical and mental fortitude-passed down from the age of the Vikings, and iconically represented by the lifting of heavy stones. Today, on an island with a population of just over 300,000, a disproportionate number of the world’s greatest strength athletes still call Iceland home.
The film features some of the modern stars of Iceland strength, including Magnus Ver Magnusson, Hafthor Bjornsson, and Annie Thorisdottir. But it also sheds light on strength culture’s early roots in the region, from the traditions of the Vikings and Sagas to the lives of farmers and fishermen.

A company building weights and barbells just created a better documentary than NATGEO
Because they already have an understanding and respect for lifting
Does national geographic even lift bro?
I wished Rogue Fitness had contacted me about this film but they didnt,. I have pictures of my grandfather Gunnar Salmónsson, who was the strongest man in Iceland from 1930 to 1960,. I have tons of pictures of him lifting stones, bending metal bars, lifting cars, and he was invited to the Olympics in 1936 Germany Berlin,. For some reason the strongmenn of Iceland have forgotten about him and that is sad,. If it could happen to him then 50 years, 75 years, 100 years, the strongmenn of Iceland today will be forgotten and that would be a shame. My grandfather was called URSUS the original true one.
That's a shame. You absolutely should upload those pictures to the internet.
I hope to see those pictures and hear his story too :) You must be very proud.
Thank you for sharing this Gunnar
I'd love to see those pictures, that would be great to see.
Make a wikipedia page about him. Spread his name and legend. That's how he won't be forgotten.
Movies and documentation like this is why the current Icelandic strongmen won't be forgotten. Share his story so it won't be forgotten.
"Times have changed, but the stone weighs the same." 1:18:30... ROGUE, can we get a shirt with that quote?
[Me at the beginning] “How am I gonna watch an hour and a half of dudes picking up stones”
[Me at the end] “ *Wow* that was good”
"Times have changed, but the stone weighs the same."
How do more people not know about this inspiring documentary about Icelandic culture that happens to also be tied to strength, fitness and competition? Thank you so much Rogue team, Producers, director Todd Sansom and crew for making this project a reality.
"Do you feel this? The calm after the effort...this gives me peace." Love that
The peace and calm was short lived before that YEAH!! 😂 that definitely took me by surprise

After watching this video i've never felt more proud to be from Iceland. Big thanks to Rogue Fitness and the strongmen from Iceland!
I hope you don't have the same insane politicians like the rest of Western Europe where it has now become some kind of crime to be proud of your own heritage.
You have good reason to be proud of your heritage.
Respect from Denmark
Made me cry and think deep about my grandparents. This made me proud to know where I come from!
I love Viking culture, their sagas and history. They should be proud.
Most heartfelt greetings to Iceland! 🇮🇸💪🏻
This documentary, the people in it, the picture quality, the very heart is has...
It's all Fullsterkur.
This is just a *MASTERPIECE* , not only in doc film, but in *storytelling* !

Is there any behind the scene of this journey to watch somewhere ? I would love to see how this incredible team with Todd Sansom were able to deliver this kind of content !
A trully inspirational work, in front and behind the camera !

Thanks man
This legendary documentary is among my main pre workout videos! It's absolutely brilliantly well done. I'm not as Strong as an Icelander, but in my heart I believe I'm also an Icelandic Viking!
Koma Svo! 💪🏻🇮🇸
One of the best videos I’ve seen in quite some time, you can feel the passion and the love they have for their ancestors and what they continue to do.. the ending gave me chills..
Thanks for watching!
Scenery is amazing. People are authentic. Great!
Thanks Rogue!
Proud to be Icelandic.. I have met Magnús and Jón Páll many times when I was a kid, even was a helper in one of the strong man shows. Those guys were a great inspiration for all of us kid´s = superstars... Viking Power :-)
what an incredibly emotive film.
it opens our eyes to the majesty of our European neighbour, and unveils the beautiful character of your amazing people, their dreams, ambitions, history, togetherness, it's truly a wonderful piece of filmwork.
a stellar film, with magical storytelling, which left me rather speechless.
good for you all who were involved.
God bless Dr. Terry Todd. May he rest in peace.
I love the shout out to Sigur Ros. What an amazing band/artist!
Respect from Ireland I'm a Powerlifter and I've watched icelands great strongmen in huge admiration! I visited the country for the first time last November it was beautiful besides the glaciers and geysers it very much reminded me of Ireland, I felt a great affinity to the country & its people long may your traditions last my home city of 'Limerick' was settled by the vikings who then inter married with the native gaels 🇮🇪🇮🇸
This shows everything I love about Iceland: Stark otherworldly beauty, deep connections to the past, most of all the most pleasant down-to-earth yet tough-as-nails people. Easily one of my top 3 documentaries.
These Rogue Documentaries are simply outstanding; the visuals, the music, the knowledge! Plus, it was good see the dedication to Terry Todd at the beginning, a real pioneer for the physical culture industry and the history of the iron game! You are greatly missed Terry!
The storytelling, the cinematography, the characters, just amazing! Very well done!
Indeed...Thank you Rogue. What a beautiful and inspiring film... You did a PHENOMENAL job.
You will ALWAYS feel better challenging yourself and doing difficult things! Pick up ANYTHING heavy safely and properly and show yourself you can do it! This is a great documentary! We need to regain the value of strength in all aspects! Thank you Rogue Fitness!
Fullsterkur!
Hello from Norway brothers and sisters of iceland! strong rooted people,love it!
And this film is exactly why l love Iceland and the people. Been there in 2015 and i will comming back.
Big fan of Annie Thorisdottir
Pure enjoyment watching this film. Seeing all the historic significance of strength, both physical and mental, in the Icelandic community is awesome to learn about. It's such a motivating story to learn about. Not to mention a beautiful country. Great job Rogue!
Thanks Nick!
Amazing short film inspired me I know have 8 stones from 87lbs to 210lbs in my back yard and lift twice a week this makes you very strong it has increased my regular lifts bench deadlift and squat
That man who makes music on stones. This really hit me in the face. The sound but also the idea and perfection how he managed to build those. He should make an album if he hadnt done already. Amazin art.
He said he made it for Sigur Ros. Perhaps theuve done an album of it? Sounded like something i might have heard in some Einar Selvik music too.
Great story. I first read about Manhood stones of Scotland and Hussafell stone like a decade ago. There is something primal in this, something that inspires and pushes to do great things.
These films are great as always. Appreciate the 2.35 ratio! Iceland's still on the top of my list to visit and I'm always in amazement of what talent comes out of such a small and culturally rich country. Stone lifting...functional fitness at its purest.
That was amazing one of the best documentarys that I have ever seen amazing people thank you
Magnus ver Magnusson. The Rich Froning of World's Strongest Man competitions as far as I'm concerned. He was my favorite to watch back in the day. This is a beautiful film. I'm so glad I watched it! I like my (entertainment) television shows but watching films like this are just super satisfying on a deeper level.
That is one of the most inspiring videos I've seen. Excellent job. I always wanted to go to Iceland and now I have a greater reason to go, then just to see it for its beauty! 🇨🇦
Amazing film! Thank you, Rogue. More of these stories, please.
Thanks Joseph!
I have lost count on how many times I've watched this. Amazing!
Simply amazing work to rogue and ALL of those involved!!! This was a joy to watch.... Iceland is such a beautiful place and it's people are an inspiration!!!!

Awesome video. So inspiring. Can't wait for the next movie.
Respecting your ancestors and protecting your own culture, it's shame many countries are failing to do this.
Much love to the Icelandic Vikings from all the Polynesian Warriors here in New Zealand. I love it. Awesome documentary.
