Brian vlogging if a gift to everyone. Seeing him get so excited like a kid a Christmas when he finally got the weights Warms my heart.

If Brian Shaw drives 48 hours to get dumbbells home, you know those are rare... This shows how much he values the history of strength and equipment.

Those dumbbells are virtually indestructible but Brian is happy that they are "safe" 😆

There is no one more suited to own a set of dumbbells of this caliber than the GOAT himself. So happy for you, Brian. I am also VERY impressed by this amazing set. WoW!!!

*I have some vintage Weider and Gold's plates a man in his 20's sold me that once belonged to his father. He built a modern rubberized plate gym and I still imagine kept some from dad, but what he and his wife sold me was a wicked bargain and a 3 hour round trip! lol* My plates would easily grab some big bucks in auction, *but I'll likely keep them until I cannot use them anymore, and know they will end up with the right person.*

Brian picking up that 1# dumbbell 😂

Cool seeing the york dumb bells. Hits home for me. My great uncle was an orignal worlds strong man. George "Ernie" Pickett and trained at the york gym in PA. He set several records back in his day if you ever get the chance to look him up.

The york globe dumbbells are like circus dumbbells. These are my favorite by far. It’s cool how some old gym equipment is still in good condition. It says a lot about the manufacturer

Apparently, the Shaw Classic will be Brian's last formal competition, so I'm a bit puzzled that he continues acquiring dumbbells and machines. And I'd think he'd welcome chances to eat a variety of foods from here and there. Maybe he's planning to try boxing and sumo wrestling, like Eddie Hall.

Brian is such an inspiration. Considering I’m getting back into working out, he shows that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Even though I’m not planning to be a power lifter yet, he is still inspirational to get fit and at least get to the average point.😁

@jd9119

Instead of planning to be a powerlifter, why not plan to be a champion power lifter? The only person who can tell you "no" is you. So set your goal high and break that goal down in to smaller goals and then break those goals down to ones you can achieve (IE increase your bench 5lbs this week). The thing I love about training (and I've been training since I was about 13) is that it's all up to you to see how far you go. You'll have injuries, plateaus, feel like you just don't want to train today or have a cheat day on your diet, but if you work through all that, you'll get the results you want and nobody can take it from you.

I just watched the entire season of the strongest man in history for the second time. I dont understand why there isnt a second season. Its really a good show. I have a feeling that the show really boosted the world of strongmen. Hope to see you do it in the future. I love the oldskool subjects of lifting also. Started out myself in a real oldskool hardcore gym 😂

Awesome collection, love seeing the old strength stuff

yo brian you’ve motivated me so much bro i really appreciate it man🙏

Such an awesome collection of strength history! Keep inspiring us all, Brian!

So happy for ya, finding that dream set must be a feeling like no other. My bucket list item is a 1970-80's Nautilus plate loaded, chain driven, pullover machine. Hope you get good use out of those York's, that's a piece of history in your hands

Congratulations on this amazing find and addition to your phenomenal gym, Brian. It's always the best outcome when something ends up in the hands of someone that will truly appreciate it!

so cool. Would have loved to learn about the guy that sold them to you: how long did he have them, where did he get the from etc.. I'm a huge history buff, so all the old time strong man stuff is super interesting. Can't wait for the vids and collabs with you using these! Yes, def get more old time strength memorabilia and equip! Love it!

Honestly kind of awesome seeing vlog style. It's great having your awesome camera men and other people involved in the video. But something about just you and the camera is so cool. Let alone there was absolutely zero chance we couldn't tell how excited and happy you were to do this trip

Absolutely love this. Brian, your attitude is just contagious. So glad to see you pumped for such a great find. Super cool!

What a unique addition to an already incredible gym! Great to see you so happy Brian! I'd love to come take them for a (very gentle) test drive! 😅💪

Congrats, I know your boys will grow up working through this set…. Such an amazing thing!❤

Really love your truck!! Thanks for the content Brian, killing it as always!

Bryan. I love that your able to do what you love and make money doing it man. I’ve been trying the twitch thing lately and I’ve got to say, it’s much harder than it looks. So shout out to your editors/yourself/ supporters/ wife. Much love to ya brother!

Brian is such a gent it’s impossible to not enjoy watching him, a legend and a top human being.

Awesome road-trip thanks for taking us along.

I liked the vlog side of this video very cool seeing u do this style video 💪🏽.u can tell how happy u were 2 get these😄 Those Dumb bells look amazing congratulations on getting them home u deserve it 👍🏼.

Awesome sets of dumbbells. Love your enthusiasm as ALWAYS

i love these types of videos. you can really see how much Shaw the history of the sport

Hey Brian! I love your content and videos! Thanks for sharing so much with us. Heads up to your video editor: The sound level between Brian talking and the music scenes is pretty extreme. I have to raise and lower my volume consistently on the videos. Cheers and happy 2023!

Next time you’re in PA stop by for a workout, our gym is about 20 minutes from York Barbell. We have a bunch of vintage York equipment, and a good friend that worked for YBB for decades, he’s got some awesome stories you’d love to hear. 💪

Wow what a road trip!! You are so darn excited its just cool. Happy for you and thanks for sharing your journey Brian!!

Loved the video, personally i would love to see a video on your warm up/stretching routine?

That is just amazing. Best strongman channel by far. So jealous 😮 Great find Brian.

Great find, Brian. I’m 59 and I can remember my Uncle having a small set. I researched a bit and their Barbell company started in 1935.

The worst part of this video is realizing how incredibly close Brian was to me and I had no idea and had no ability to meet him

That smile says it all! Glad you had a successful road trip!

The gym at my college I went to had a set of the old globe dumbbells. They have a very different feel. Some lifts you have to change a little to accommodate the different shape, and they seem heavier than other styles of dumbbells. Congrats on the full set, such an amazing addition to your gym.

Just shows he’s a student to his game of strong man the fact that u can still be passionate about the dumbbells shows the respect u have for it we need more challenges with u an Keri those are also fun

Such a cool, nice guy. You’re the best Brian💪🏽🖤

You definitely got your hands on a couple great sets of vintage dumbells. You should be able to find a proper set of 40s to complete the round head set without too much trouble.

Those globe-head dumbbells are my all time favorite. I wish we never went away from them I love the old-school equiptment, that was really cool!

Really cool to see the collection!

Love those globe dumbbells! Great find.

Good for you man! Couldn't have found a better owner. Thanks for all the inspiration over the years.

2 favorite parts of this vid brian, first seeing how genuinely happy you are getting that set. And second was watching your kids "help" move that equipment 😂 just like my youngest

Love them these remind me of some my gramps had in his home gym I started on.

It's so cute to see the big man geek out on old iron! Thank you for your videos.

That's really cool, can't wait to see what else you add to your gym.

Amazing set of dumbbells. A piece of history that deserve rob shared and perpetuated by Brian !

That's awesome! Congrats Brian

Great video. Really enjoyed the dumbbells. Big fan of old school

That is a awesome set of vintage weights, great find.

I met this amazingly inspiring man at the truck stop in Nebraska. Lol probably sounded like a silly highschool girl. Lol I was just so excited. If i hadn't decided to go back into truck driving I probably wouldn't have met him. Really wish I could have actually had more time to speak with you Brian. Was an awesome experience. Keep inspiring.

Such a great piece of content! So many champion lifters are also historians, physical culturists with an appreciation of classic weight and strength training equipment.

Fun video! Thanks Brian

Love the fact you love historic stuff from your trade. Im the same with cars/bikes but you look thrilled with this set. You earned it Brian enjoy!

Awesome Collection Brian! We had the old Globe Dumbbell's back in college at Washington State University Athletics Weight Room when I was in college in the late 80's up to at least 1991 when I left.

That wonderful I Got New Toys feeling :D Enjoy your prizes man, you rock.

Awesome find congratulations!!!

Brilliant collection of dumbells you can see how happy you are. If the dumbells could talk they would say " well finally we are home and safe and all together"

That’s very cool set of dumbbells. Hope you enjoy training with them 👍🏼💯
