Is Brian Shaw the STRONGEST MAN on EARTH?
Спорт
Unquestionably one of the strongest men to have walked the planet. We've seen him lift, squat, press, throw and run his way to a colossal amount of victories - including 4 WSM titles.
Where does BRIAN SHAW rank in the all time greats of STRONGMAN in your opinion?
Can 2020 mark a record equaling 5th WSM title?
Even before his first WSM win, he was dominating events - as this clip from London 2011 shows - GIANT CIRCUS DUMBBELL for reps - 100kg / 220lbs and ATLAS STONES - a young BRIAN blasted away the opposition and took the Giants Live crown.

People often say that pressing is one of Brian's weaknesses, but when it comes to Dumbell he's always been world class. I think it's because of how tactical and meticulous he is with how he approaches each event; he's got amazing form on the dumbbell to be sure

We also forget that he tied with Z in WSM 2010, but lost on countback. A super huge, super strong guy with incredible longevity, and a true pro. A great, no question. Maybe top 3, all-time.

Always great to see Derek Poundstone!

The fact that they can even pick it up is amazing.

Even when brian slipped he still won
And to think, Brian looks smaller here than he is now and still just as strong
Heart tells all
Brian is the man!!!
Brian during the interview at the end reminded me of a cross between shrek, and sloth from the goonies. Hey, you guys!!!!
I wonder why they removed it the first time🤔
Shaw is from another planet!!!
Holy mother unbelievable.👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He trains 4 days per week 2-3 hours each session, monday, Tuesday, Thursday and saturday.
Brian Shaw is legendary and my favorite strongman but there's no denying Big Z is and will always be the greatest strongman. Even if someone wins more Arnold's or breaks Z's log record they will never be what Big Z was to this sport Its similar to Micheal Jordan or Muhammad Ali. You can beat his stats but MJ and Ali will always be the goat of their sport
