Will you adopt me? I’m a 37 year old male. I weigh 137.4 kilos and can deadlifts 350 kilos. Think about it. I’m a good son… even though we are like two years apart.
Hey this is cool I was just catching up on a few of your videos last night, Nick. Glad to see you guys still enjoying life. Hope the lat is doing better!!
Never realized how similar my life has been comparatively to Nick and Brian. I’m 37 now and just getting started in the strongman world. I’ve only been doing it for 2-3 years now. I’m 6’1” and right at 300 lbs!! These 2 are great motivation for me!! Thank y’all for being so great!!
@@highviewbarbellIn 10 years?!, you're gonna wait a decade?. The strongman is going to be in a totally different league by then it's already insane. 430+kg is becoming more and more common for strongmen to lift.
1:15:14-1:15:40 I really really really needed to hear that. It’s exactly what I did, used to lift hard n heavy in my 20’s, turned 30 and had a kid “life took over”. Here I am at 34 and I just needed that kick in the butt cause I have been trying to get back in the gym hard lately. You guys are the best 👏🏻
Nick and I are fairly close in age...there weren't bike helmets and I remember flying over the handlebars more than once while jumping and doing crazy things. Yes I was hurt but I never stopped, if there wasn't blood or bones sticking out we just kept after it! Thanks for sitting down together and sharing your stories because we all need to hear them!
@George WashingtonPerfect reply to the original comment. No mention of anything to do with this podcast, the guests, or anything remotely related. I bet everyone will thank you for wasting 30 seconds of their life that they will never get back.
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this - I am the same age as Nick, competed in D1 college sports in the SEC, have 3 kids, rode my bike everywhere as kid, so much enjoyed your conversations and can relate so much to so much of what you talked about. Hopefully that "rub some dirt on it and get it done" work ethic, attitude and toughness makes a come back. Love both of you, thanks for this.
Nick...you are an awesome inspiration. I am older getting into strongman and powerlifting. At 51 years of age...I love the saying "You don't stop lifting when you get old....You get old when you stop lifting.
I'm not even a weightlifter but inspired by alot of you guys. It surprises me the stigma of big men involved in powerlifting don't get separated from the bodybuilding aspect enough because every single strongman I follow are the most humble and driven humans you could listen to or meet. I've actually become a fan more so the character in the sport has me rooting for them all in a way no other sport can. When you see the guys that finish go back and push their opponents to succeed with them is also the most humbling process to witness in all sport. All the guys pushing to their limit should be proud no matter where they finish one tournament the fact they are pushing theirself to the maximum limit their body can manage or even to the point of nose bleeds while still striving is just amazing to watch..this is the definition of living life to the full. Huge respect 🙏
Bloody love these podcast so far, all the guys who have shown up in the podcast are all inspirational and have great stories plus just listening to you being humble and always looking deeper into there background stories and everything is awesome.
Not watched one of the podcasts before, really interesting. And Nick is just as much a great guy as I expected seeing him in other videos. What a pair of ambassadors for your sport.
Hell, Nick, I hear what you're saying! I'm sixty now, still training my ass off, although I haven't competed in several years. Knee issues have kind of messed up my squats, although I'm still looking into working my way around that, as well as some rotator cuff issues. I've got a healthy collection of USAPL trophies and medals on the wall of my own gym. At 19 I started purchasing equipment, and for years now I train in my own place, which, since I work fulltime, makes things easier. There's no school like OLD school brother! Shoot, a week before I hit 50, in my last open meet before switching to seniors, I beat two guys, 26 and 28, on my way to winning the 242s and best lifter. Age is a freaking number!
Brian you are natural. I hope you ll do more podcast than once a week.Also ,here we can see ,what a nice guy you are! Inspiration for entire generation!
could sit and listen to these 2 dudes chat for hours.. 2 of the nicest most genuine people.. both true role models. embarrassing as an Englishman after seeing Eddie's behaviour last week, swearing/spitting etc..
@@TheBcoolGuy Oh look, a blind biased Eddie fanboy... Eddie spat on random people, severely injured a bystander, rubbed his bare ass on Thor’s seat, endangered his own sons life after instigating a fight, had a hissy fit screaming, Thor his bicep after mocking Thor’s technique, had a hissy fit after being called fat once despite mocking Thor for 2 years, and then lost the fight after all that trash talk.
It’s funny you have been saying for ages about your podcasts but I still never listen until you put this up. It’s a easy listen and gives a greater insight into your life’s. I just subscribed and am looking forward to listening to more 👍
I love your videos so much Brian! Seeing how humble, nice of a person you’re but at the same time be a monster in the gym, it’s just amazing. I know you’re gonna crush the WSM competition this year, I’ll be rooting for you at the top of my lungs from home! Sadly, I suffered an injury on my left knee a couple years ago, that has sidelined me for a while, seeing your videos make me feel pretty good, you’re my motivation. Imma try my hardest to be great, just as you always say! 💪🏽🔥
Two people that I have come to love and respect so much! Brian, I don’t think you will see this, but I perform and analyze interviews for a living and have a few reflections. I recommend that you consider letting your interviewees elaborate a bit more rather than responding with your own context. I think trying to connect with the perspective of those you were interviewing is powerful, and I think in many ways effective during this episode, but I feel like certain topics could have been explored even more deeply if you had given the proverbial floor to Nick even more. Regardless, it is clear that the rapport you have with Nick has enabled you to cover some really powerful topics together. I wish you the best with this podcast and I’m excited for your ongoing efforts!
Great podcast and I don't lift weights. Strongmen are inspiring for us all and they all seem to have the attitude of gentlemen who push strength to the limit and more. Great listen. God bless
The one issue with aging is that tendons lose elasticity and discs lose volume, essentially we stiffen up and shrink! lol. So yes, the muscle can always gain strength but the tendons become more prone to rupture and that’s just the facts of aging. Shoot, even the steel ball joints on your car wear out eventually, age related changes are a really hard fact to face for most strength/fitness minded guys. “a mans greatest fear is to no longer be seen as dangerous”, unfortunately someday we will all reach that place.
I LOVED watching the show with the four of you guys in it. TH-cam recommended it to me because I watched Oburst on Demolition Ranch and then I binged all of it and it then led me to your channel and to Eddie's
Brian, people like you are what this world needs. Just heard about the arnold thing and wanted to let you know you got a new sub for what you did. Stay true brotha and watch out for the snakes. And as a Mainer, I hope to see you sometime up here in New England. God bless you and your family sir.
YAP, me too ! ! What a great Guy Nick is indeed ! ! I am 61 in 44 days and i am not done yet: Bench 260lb x 2, Deadlift 440lb x 6, Squat 360lb x 3 , Atlas Stone over bar 286lb; My worst enemy: AGE, but i fight back hard ;-) Gooo BRO ;-)
“You can’t have a kick-ass workout and then not supply your body with what it needs to repair itself and grow. That’s ass-backward, and you’ll never advance in strongman training, bodybuilding, or whatever sport you do. You’ll actually hurt your gains and make yourself worse off than when you didn’t train at all!” - Brian Shaw
Hey Brian, huge fan and love your channel, such great content. As one of the world's most prominent strongman I'd love to ask what your thoughts are on a strongman TV channel, that shows all the main events, giants lives, Shaw classic, all the national events as well as Europe's and world's (to stop us fans waiting 6 months to see it when we know the results) There would be so many subscribers as it's such a popular sport
Nick is good at lifting rocks, probably cus that was the only thing back then when they used to live in caves lol, such a beast like that old and can lift more than some young giants.
Hey Brian, kind of an off question but I'm a huge fan and would like to get some of your gear to start training in for added motivation. I'm 6'8 305 and I have to get tall sizes in shirts and was wondering if you custom order yours in tall sizes or if you fit in your standard sizes that are on the website. Wasn't sure if your shirts run long. Hoping the best for you and your family. And preemptively thank you 🙂
I would greatly enjoy the opportunity to be on one of your pod cast and tell my story. It’s deep and one of my goals is to let others know what I’ve been through and how you can grow regardless of your situation.

@@calvinblack2167 Youre never too old to get stronger.
I'm turning 30 soon and looking to play the long game. I'm treating it as though I'm training to compete in Master's, 10 years from now

two genuine strongmen who I truly admire! not many sport people out there that come across as genuine as you two!
