The strongmen are in Moorhead, Minnesota - the home of Viking culture in America - to test their strength against Viking legends. The four strongmen compete to challenge three Viking legends. They each have to carry a 341lb stone to achieve Fulksterkur status, pull a 12,000lb Viking boat uphill, and lift the 1433lb mast of Orm Storolfsson. Eddie challenges the guys to a bet - who can throw Thor's hammer the furthest? Nick and Brian embark on a Viking adventure of their own - braving the freezing cold Minnesota weather to catch a fish.
