Summary

[edit]
Description

Magnús Ver Magnússon (born 23 April 1963) of Iceland is a powerlifter and strongman. He won the title of World's Strongest Man four times (1991, 1994, 1995, and 1996), a record matched only by fellow Icelander Jón Páll Sigmarsson.

Magnusson began powerlifting in 1984, and in 1985 he won a medal in the junior European and World Championships. He won the Senior European title in the 125kg class in 1989 and 1990. His best lifts in competition include a 400kg squat, 274.5kg bench press, 375kg deadlift, and a total of 1015kg. His best deadlift was 445kg.

Magnusson competed in his first strongman contest in 1985, finishing third in the Iceland's Strongest Man competition won by Jón Páll Sigmarsson. He decided to focus solely on strongman competition after he won the 1991 World's Strongest Man contest. His strongman victories include the 1989 Pure Strength contest (Scotland), the 1991 and 1993 International Power Challenge, the 1992 Scandinavian Strongest Man (Finland), the 1992 Nordic Strongest Man (Denmark), the 1994 Europe's Strongest Man, the 1995 World Musclepower Championship, and the 1995 and 1997 Viking Challenge. In addition to his four World's Strongest Man titles, he was also runner-up in 1992 and 1993.
