This is how I imagined how to make Strongmen a more 'attractive' sports for the global audience. Make stuff unreasonable large. And I have to say, this is really enjoyable to watch!
Yes the whole look of this event was perfect for strong man, and like they said was inspired by the conan movie. Id prefer this type of event instead of maxing our heavy weight via deadlift
@@supmikey123 deadlift, is a must, is a religion, shut the hell up, if you don't do strongman or don't even lift for strenght, we can't make strongman competition based only on what is "better to watch" damn idiots.
Yeah for a split second i thought he was hurt, but than i was like nah, his legs were definitely dead after pushing that thing for a whole minute and fell from exhaustion
dont care if people talkin shit to brian. remember he is a 3 time asc champ and 4 time world strongest man and just a gentleman, genuine loving caring father and gentle giant. #SHAWSTRENGTH
brian could’ve just quit. he knows he is injured. he knows he will not win. he knows thor will win. yet he is out there giving his best. real best. respect. Edit: spelling errors. And seeing more than 500likes lol. Can’t realize how you people can hate on this guy...
Brian has the mentality of a champion. Granted he's already won the highest accolade in strongman 4 times, but this dude pulled 1000+ in 2012 Arnold with a torn bicep. The dude is willing to put everything on the line to perform at the highest level.
No wonder. Wow, he's a man's man. Champion fighting spirit to do something like that. Let's all keep our heads up and show him we're with him no matter what.
Brian Shaw one of the greatest to do it ever! I see you are nursing an injury. But even debilitated you still make an impact. Try not to push too hard for your own longevity. Respect
I remember seeing Arnold pushing this in either Conan the barbarian or destroyer. I think in the story he starts out pushing the wheel as a young boy with other men, as he gets older he ends up being the only one pushing the wheel...freaking awesome!
Tokyo Swan but eddie set the record on a normal deadlift bar, this is elephant bar COMPLETELY different lifts. They dont compare whatsoever. 501kg on elephant bar isnt better than 500kg on deadlift bar it is simply 2 seperate events that are not comparable
Cos still the deadlift goes heavier and heavier each year, next year I think Thor will get the 500 kg and I’m sure a couple of guys like licis are going to pull a 1000+ pounds
Theyre not gonna do that. Exhausting themselves with other lifts before the dead would significantly effect the athletes performance and lead to less weight pulled and probably more injuries considering how many muscles play a roll in the DL. People wanna see those huge pulls and going first is the only way to do it. I doubt any of them would wanna pull last given the option anyway.
It's more the Elephant Bar bullshit than anything else that's hurting people. It's cool and fun to watch but people ALWAYS get hurt when one is in a comp. They're hot garbage.
The heaviest lifts need to be first. They can warm themselves up before hand but they need to be fresh for it. It's the elephant bar that's killing them, not the order of the lifts.
I'm afraid it most definitely SHOULD be the first event as after a week of gruelling events, there'll be no chance of decent deadlift pulls let alone break the world record
@@DEADTHENALIVE Most Fortnite players are literal children. Sure being strong helps in the everyday life of these strongmen, but their strength doesn't help society as a whole until they put it to use in an occupation. What they're doing now is entertaining us (which is what earns them the 72k), and that's exactly what fortnite streamers do, just to a much larger audience (hence the larger payout).
@@jasontheranga9769 I get what ur saying, but u just watched a whole vid of strong dudes pushing a medieval slave device which was a real occupation of ppl in the past and lowered it to the hobby of playing a video game with a controller while drinking mountain dew on the couch... Wtf? All athletes are just underpaid fortnite players huh.
@@DEADTHENALIVE the wheel of pain was a prop in Conan... Its similar to a grain mill but it was never used as an actual torture/"slave device". I think you really underestimate the skills involved with being a popular streamer. Firstly, you've got to be really good at the game (but that's a given). As well as this you've gotta give actual decent commentary for hours on end which is easier said than done, you cant just sit in front of a screen for hours with your mouth hanging open and expect people to watch you. You've got to keep viewer retention. Additionally, you must interact with your viewers through the chat function and involve them in the experience, this is what usually draws people into watching streams in the first place. All of this while still doing well in the game. And you're doing this every day. I know it doesn't seem like much but until you've actually tried you don't know how hard it is. A stream isn't just a guy playing a game, its a performance. Comparing streaming to a guy "just playing video games" is like comparing formula 1 to a guy just going round in circles in a car. I'm not trying to say that being a streamer is harder than being a strongman at this level, i'm just saying that they both take real aptitude. In the end, it doesn't matter which one is harder anyway, its about audience. You can build the worlds best forklift that's miles ahead of anything else in the heavy machinery industry, but you're only ever going to sell to companies with forklift drivers. Your profits will never come close to the profits of the next mediocre Iphone with the target market of everyone in the first world.
I have been a Brian fan since WSM 2009 and will always be a Brian fan. You have done more for the sport than anyone else. You don’t have to prove anything to us. Win or lose. You are still my champion!
Yeah everyone who pumps their body full of drugs for years has a shorter lifespan. It’s just science. Unless ur a rockstar. Then the drugs keep u a live. Minimal help needed from the rock gods.
@@azbudski2750 It's not 'science'. People live longer when they have access to drugs... It just depends on the drugs you're talking about. Scientifically speaking though, life expectancy goes up when people have access to drugs that counter heart problems or put cancers into remission. I'm not sure which drugs you're insinuating that these guys take but I highly doubt they take steroids as that is not their bag. They aren't trying to LOOK strong which is what steroids do, they don't necessarily add strength and most of these guys don't have impressive physiques in terms of looking ripped etc. Pain killers are the only drugs that I can think of that could possibly cause harm but I'm not aware of any strong man competitors having addiction problems. And most don't seem to be any worse, physically than the general population as they age. Have you seen the video of Bill Kazmeir and Ver Magnusson competing this year? One man is 56, the other nearly ten years older and both were still capable of remarkable feats of strength. If you want to bring science into it, you'll have to provide evidence.
You can't build much of an economy around a sport that can only be played by freaks. There aren't many amateur strong men. No way to market it to children etc. You have to rely on viewership mainly. But because of factors you mention, you can't have much of a season.
I am a massive fan is Shaw I watch his videos everyday but I fear he is getting old. It is a natural progression of athletes everyone gets old, Magnus Ver Magnusson even said it you fear getting weak as you get old. However you still cannot fault Brian's career one of the best to have ever competed.
yeah he def. does but he still has time. Thor might be a bit too hard of a challenge but he normally gets 2nd place despite his age. Still no reason to think about retiring
@@marcikque oh yeah he has year till he retires look at big z he didn't retire til recently and he is 43 I am excited to see Brian's future purely by what sort of man he is he will succeed in whatever he does
Everytime someone pushed the wheel of pain I could hear the music play in my head from Conan. I'd love to have that wheel in my back yard. It's just to cool.
The announcers even sound unimpressed.. I was expecting a bigger cheer when he log lifted and got that 2nd lift up, but the crowd was silent. We know who the real winner is, but Brian is showing heart, cant look that over.
A lot of people dont know, but lyndsay actually got 230 feet on this. She crushed it, but they didnt count it because she tested positive for Orange juice
@@SLK999 he tweaked his hamstring in the 3rd round of the deadlift. When he went for 1051 pounds he basically fell over when he started to lift the bar.
I think Shaw is already looking forward to next year. He's injured now, so he'll just try to recover after the competition and prepare for other competitions.
I'm sure he will explain everything soon, athletes never say what's wrong before a competition. Possibly, his wife competing and bringing the young kids along changed his mentality.
@@domrick783 That's possible. Too bad many athletes seem to have injuries. I think they should not have gone too far with the deadlifts (for Shaw and Thor, though, it's understandable that they'd go for records). If the rest had strategized to lose points in the Deadlift event and catch up in other lifts, things could have been better.
i remember when i was a slave and had to push a wheel like this from a young boy on until years later i was purchased and forced to do pit fighting for my new master.
You should watch the 'Road to the Arnold' TH-cam clip about Mateusz. He lives in a tiny village in the Polish woods where he works out in a small barn - I doubt he can afford to bring a team to America.
Honestly given some of their squat stats they could probably run it just a little slower than the average person, assuming they slimmed down and trained a bit. I mean just doing the math, the average male weight is 197lb and the average male squat stat is 285lb. Of course squats aren't the only factor in ones ability to run, and 197lb is a bit on the overweight side and really only average do to the obesity epidemic, so let's take it down to 150lb and bring the squat weight down to 248lb. That would mean that this person has enough strength in their legs to lift 98lb more than their body weight. Hafthor weighs 425lb, and his squat record is 970lb, meaning that at his best he has enough strength in his legs to lift 545lb more than his body weight. So it goes without saying that he has no trouble getting around. Of course muscle or not, his joints and ligaments would have a hell of a time, so running frequently would probably ruin his knees, but he could most likely run a mile every now and then quite easily.
@@KarlPHorse I think you have it wrong my guy. Squat power does not equal running power. There's a complete difference between how the movements are executed down to the muscles that are activated, also dealing with lactic acid build up and due to the fact that these guys have a lot of muscle, that would be high
A geeks point of view. Have a sensor on one of the wheels to measure the distance moved, incorporated with a timer that starts when it detects movement. After 1 minute it stops and reveals the distance moved. Distance measured can be stored/displayed electronically. You could even have it stop if movement has stopped for a certain amount of time, like 5 seconds as penalty/disqualification for taking too long to getting it going again. With this upgrade they can get rid of the laser/marker system and can start from any position without having to reset it back to the start. Not as many officials needed and therefore more money for prize money.
The wheel of pain is a strong metaphor and aspect to my life I appreciate and apply every day. What does not kill you makes you stronger. Thank you for sharing this!
It was good to see the people who turned out as the camera panned the group. Nice to see the local trailer parks have a form of entertainment..............................................
Loving this channel guys. This is the second year I’ve seen through this stream. I wish there was a better product connection with end user in this market!
WHEEL OF PAIN, THE MOST ICONIC STRUCTURE BOTH BEAUTIFUL & SSSS-AAAA-VVVV-AAAA-G-E TO LOOK AT; EVER TO BE STAGED @ ANY STRONG MAN COMP. HITHERTO. KUDOS TO THE CREATORS OF THIS MONSTER.
The referee helping the athletes at the wheel is a super great person. His Father and him have the best Hardware store in all of Lancaster Ohio. Having a great inventory super prices and awesome customer service. It is called Slater's Hardware. They cast the Atlas stones there. Steve himself is a big, strong and fit man.
that wheel of pain is epic, striaght from the first conan film. They need the music in the background and an entire sport based around it! 5 attempts and whoever gets the furthest combined wins!
@@petemeraz3464 No it was the 'tree of woe' he was crucified on after trying to exact revenge on Thulsa Doom- where he ate the vulture by mouth that was trying to attack for his flesh Lol
its only a matter of time before mateusz wins, you can see the rage in his eyes when he doesn't perform. Looking forward to seeing him compete year after year.

Its from the first Conan the Barbarian movie.
Ron Swanson built that.

Huge respect to Shaw. Torn hamstring and still went out competing knowing he wouldn’t win. He’s such a monster.
I wish Eddie "The Beast" was at this event.. He got diagnosed with permanent dehydration and had to retire. Sucks. Miss him.
Hafthor collapsing afterwards and pushing himself to the absolute limit just shows how incredibly determined some of these strongman are.
Shame he has a history of cheating and crying that other people cheated when he loses. Dudes a giant tool bag.
It's certainly an improvement from his usual schtick, where he cries if he isn't given the win.

They need to wire the wheel of pain to the electrical grid. That's alot of energy gone to waste
Lol
Instead of drums of sand, have the resistance be provided by a large generator. Score is not based on distance traveled, but by kWh generated!
@@shmezbot Turning muscle, calories and grit into clean energy would get this some good publicity lol
yeah right, why not also light the athletes farts on fire to produce heat, a lot of gas gone to waste.
@Kevin Prima what's wrong with you?
man I feel bad for Brian Shaw I really would have like to see him win...GL to you Sir on your Future Ventures!
i remember when i was a slave and had to push a wheel like this from a young boy on until years later i was purchased and forced to do pit fighting for my new master.
That's lame. None of my masters had to force me for anything! 🙌
Does mateusz not have a team? Also Russian dude just seems like he's happy to be there lol
He is Happy to be there, you have to love Mikhail, he just smiles and give his best
Thomas Britton I’ve always thought that haha. He’s such an awesome dude. He’s got more heart than most guys on that stage combined
He was probably threatened to go or else he would spend more time in the Siberian Gulag.
You should watch the 'Road to the Arnold' TH-cam clip about Mateusz. He lives in a tiny village in the Polish woods where he works out in a small barn - I doubt he can afford to bring a team to America.
@@elrey8876 🙁🙁☹️😭😭
Holy shit, that was epic!! I had to screenshot Martins after he climbed that monstrosity and just screamed with his fist in the air. That was intense
I am sure he was trying to get into Thor's head.
Sorry that Brian got injured...he is always my favorite strong guy.
Thats why, never skip leg day ^^
Hell of a career Mr. Shaw. Stay healthy!
Rogue fitness!!!!!!!!!!! Got my gym equipment from them and haven't regretted it since. MADE IN 'MURICA!
Its 'Merica by the way
What an amazing and beautiful construction! 😲
I want to see these guys run 1 mile as a competition
Honestly given some of their squat stats they could probably run it just a little slower than the average person, assuming they slimmed down and trained a bit. I mean just doing the math, the average male weight is 197lb and the average male squat stat is 285lb. Of course squats aren't the only factor in ones ability to run, and 197lb is a bit on the overweight side and really only average do to the obesity epidemic, so let's take it down to 150lb and bring the squat weight down to 248lb. That would mean that this person has enough strength in their legs to lift 98lb more than their body weight. Hafthor weighs 425lb, and his squat record is 970lb, meaning that at his best he has enough strength in his legs to lift 545lb more than his body weight. So it goes without saying that he has no trouble getting around. Of course muscle or not, his joints and ligaments would have a hell of a time, so running frequently would probably ruin his knees, but he could most likely run a mile every now and then quite easily.
@@KarlPHorse ^ This man, ruining shit-talking trolls with science!
Karl P. Horse non-retard units please?
@@KarlPHorse I think you have it wrong my guy. Squat power does not equal running power. There's a complete difference between how the movements are executed down to the muscles that are activated, also dealing with lactic acid build up and due to the fact that these guys have a lot of muscle, that would be high
That's not even a strength endurance event, they won't do it, it won't be reasonable for them since they are just trying to prove whose the strongest.
A geeks point of view. Have a sensor on one of the wheels to measure the distance moved, incorporated with a timer that starts when it detects movement. After 1 minute it stops and reveals the distance moved. Distance measured can be stored/displayed electronically. You could even have it stop if movement has stopped for a certain amount of time, like 5 seconds as penalty/disqualification for taking too long to getting it going again.
With this upgrade they can get rid of the laser/marker system and can start from any position without having to reset it back to the start. Not as many officials needed and therefore more money for prize money.
А. Новиков красава, продумано подошёл к упражнению. Выключил руки, переложил всю нагрузку на спину и толкал только ногами!
Having flashbacks of Conan the Barbarian, the original version...
It's the "Arnold" Strongman event anyway.
@jannis joplin - lol; I put an apple in my sleeve when we went apple picking...
That was an amazing performance by everyone.
I find myself here after having a severe shoulder injury( haven't had one in 7 years), what hellish coincidence is this lol
When Robert E Howard made "Wheel of pain" a part of Conan mythos he certainly couldnt have expected it to become a part of competitive sports LOL
In all my years, I never imagined this would become a reality! 🤙🏽
Brian, you gave it everything. Bad luck this year-- get well soon and come back stronger and better!
Awesome event! Conan! Love it
@Gavin 01 That scene was nice xD First we see a few boys pushing a wheel, then a 250 pund beast of a man xD
And to think, in the movie, Conan did this kind of work all day every day for years and got bigger and stronger.
My instant thought was Arnold in Conan
Dude he was raised on the wheel of pain!
Zombie Mechanic that would be because this is directly based on Conan. This is the Arnold competition after-all.
Elric Godslayer You don’t think we knew that already!?!?!
Cool Guy man I don’t doubt you did bit the op seems as if he doesn’t,
The wheel of pain is a strong metaphor and aspect to my life I appreciate and apply every day. What does not kill you makes you stronger. Thank you for sharing this!
I hate people like you.
It was good to see the people who turned out as the camera panned the group. Nice to see the local trailer parks have a form of entertainment..............................................
Loving this channel guys. This is the second year I’ve seen through this stream. I wish there was a better product connection with end user in this market!
Wow, The new Conan Exiles update look great.
Hahah!
I respect these guys so much
Just love Shivlyakov. Always smiling, nice to everybody and the most stylish of all.
Absolute beasts
This Strongman event feels particularly medieval AF
@Martin Luther U mad bro? Get a life fucking troll
This comment thread escalated quickly
You got me 😂😂 exactly what I was thinking
Martin Luther how do you make a strongman event into a race-bait? You people are strange
Yikes. Fucking abhorrent channel.
Seeing this used in competition instead of in an iconic movie is pretty awesome.
WHEEL OF PAIN, THE MOST ICONIC STRUCTURE BOTH BEAUTIFUL & SSSS-AAAA-VVVV-AAAA-G-E TO LOOK AT; EVER TO BE STAGED @ ANY STRONG MAN COMP. HITHERTO. KUDOS TO THE CREATORS OF THIS MONSTER.
What is BEST in LIFE?!
The referee helping the athletes at the wheel is a super great person. His Father and him have the best Hardware store in all of Lancaster Ohio. Having a great inventory super prices and awesome customer service. It is called Slater's Hardware. They cast the Atlas stones there. Steve himself is a big, strong and fit man.
that wheel of pain is epic, striaght from the first conan film. They need the music in the background and an entire sport based around it! 5 attempts and whoever gets the furthest combined wins!
I can never find any of this good shit on tv now a days so im happy you uploaded this or i would have never seen it thank you
To crush you enemies!
See them driven before you!
And to hear the lamentation of de women!
Why are you gay?
@@threethrushes Sorry to hear you were one of the crushed ones.
Good to see Woodland on the mic! He doesn’t need CrossFit!!!!!
Hendi
The most beautiful Wheel of Pain ever
This needs to be in every gym push this for an hour straight every day you'll be jacked af.
Imagine, Arnold push that wheel for like 15 years .. :p
"Conan"
He had help from the other slaves, they die off in the montage... progressive overload and Darwinism in one brutal minute of cinema. Awesome movie!
That is straight from Conan.
Finally someone else who notices :D Got so yped when i saw it and I was not dissapointed
I always thought it was called the wheel of woe
@@petemeraz3464 No it was the 'tree of woe' he was crucified on after trying to exact revenge on Thulsa Doom- where he ate the vulture by mouth that was trying to attack for his flesh Lol
I love how they take the Arnold theme to the max
Go On Shaw Strenth!! such respect
MARTINSSSSSSSSS!!!
I like how he have a Thor and someone named aleksi just like the rhino from marvel
This men can carry the whole world on their shoulders.
With all the anger in school they need the WHEEL OF PAIN !!!!those guys are MONSTERS!!!
Remember this youngster 24y.o 6.5ft M.KIESZILKOWSKI ,who agrees with this future opinion brothers?
So we gonna ignore Mark Henry at the end of this video?
who? :P
its only a matter of time before mateusz wins, you can see the rage in his eyes when he doesn't perform. Looking forward to seeing him compete year after year.
wheel of pain....... awsome!!!!
