I heard a rumour that Jon Pall used to read in his earlier training years George F. Jowett Training Course. It’s a very old course about working out without weights. Just click on the link or use the tag system and click ‘George Jowett’ .
Furthermore the magazine “Powerlifting USA 1988 (mar)” cited that Jon Pall Sigmarsson followed the “Hatfield Training System”.
There was no training routine included in this powerlifting magazine. Thus the following routine is just a example how Jon Pall may trained.

He used to train his abs with 200 reps reach training session.
Jon liked to stretch and after training he used to run several sprints..
Diet
“I eat any kind of fish, most days of the week, throwing in a chicken or two and a beef steack.”
His diet is similiar to the vikings: a lot of fish and milk products, shark meat, whale meat. But of course even Jon Pall cheated and ate sometimes fast food.
