  • 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

    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.

      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.
