Born on a farm in Solvangur, Iceland on April 28, 1960, Jon Pall would spend most of his youth hunting seals, gathering eggs, and helping to prepare them. Like many athletes, Jon Pall lived a very physical lifestyle. Daily chores included carrying two pales (about 24 kg) full of water on a wooden, square frame back to his farm (giving him practice on the Farmer’s carry even when he was older). However, he wasn’t without great brains either. The family worked from dawn until dusk but after dinner, Jon Pall would spend his spare time reading books of all kinds. In particular, he enjoyed reading about strong, robust people, especially Tarzan.
