Watching strong people pushing each other to move stupid amounts of weight is always inspiring. Equally inspiring is Brian's ability to be an absolute savage and a gem of a human being.
as I recall, steroids are still illegal.... so are you saying he's natural, or are you saying federal drug criminals who lie to fans are gems? you can choose either one
I want Martins to win because I’ve been following him for a while and he’s the younger healthier guy with a chance at having one of the best strongman careers. He also lifts for America too but I would gladly watch Martins lose if it means Brian getting his 5th title.
@@maxwellnotthecoffee1560 I mean obviously since Brian is a 6’8 monster he can’t learn how to do split jerk like Martins does in a short amount of time
Olympic lifting is very hard, very technical and very dependent on keeping joints and muscles limber. Have to respect any athlete that can pull all those factors together
I think i got Brians WSM strategy. Bring all the competitors to his gym and just show how much more hard core his training than anyone else and get in there heads
The fact that Max hit the podium last year and Brian is still willing to bring him in to push himself and Max is amazing, he’s really doing so much for the strongman community it’s unbelievable
Brian you are a great inspiration for anyone of any age. Hope to meet you sometime you are a perfect example for young men and women. My son loves your videos and says he's gonna be stronger 😉 God Bless
Brian Shaw has 4 separate training days. On Monday he trains his squat and performs different accessory exercises for his lower body. On Tuesday he trains the overhead press and performs different accessory exercises for his shoulders, chest and triceps. On Thursday he trains the deadlift and performs different upper back accessory exercises. Finally on Saturday Brian Shaw trains the strongman events such as the super yolk, log press and atlas stones. This is Brian’s most important training day Brain Shaw uses the spider bar and the cambered squat bar for similar reasons: they are easier on his shoulders and help him strengthen his upper and lower back
For a big strongman it’s actually pretty weak lol No offence to Brian, it’s not his bread and butter, but look up Misha Koklaev I’m pretty sure he has a vid of a 600lb BTN push press, which is what this lift is.
That was so interesting to watch them warm up. It’s such a technical lift, more like an Oly lift. Maxime almost looked uncomfortable at the really low weights and then seemed to hit a groove. Brian looked good early, seemed to hit a wall, and then figured it out and finished nicely (can’t believe he was able to press out the last one). Sam looked the best early on, just started to struggle once the weight really got up there. It was also interesting to see their differences in body structure and how they pressed. Sam (obviously smaller and more mobile in the shoulders) had a much more narrow grip and pressed it more vertically. Maxime and especially Brian were so much wider and it was almost like their arms are pushing “out wide” as much as vertically. I wonder how that changes it athlete to athlete?
@@Aaronsolnelson exactly, it was cool to see them almost have to “figure it out” vs a normal lift that they would be very comfortable with. I like that for WSM, at least for a couple of events
Brian you're looking amazing brother. REALLY looking forward to WSM. it's going to be a hell of a close run. Everyone is in great shape. Also, videos like this showing you training with other active competitors is just out right amazing sportsmanship and good vibes. Love to see it. Keep pushing big man. A lot of people are behind you :D
The thing is, with behind the neck press it's so different from normal presses that I believe the big pressers will not have much of an advantage. Brian's delts are pretty uniform whereas a lot of other athletes have front delt dominance.
Mean while Eddie just put a video on of him eating some noodles ... Can you two time it better please so I can spread the fun out of watching them ;) all the best for the wsm !
Sam is an amazing athlete and person! Me and my dad were able to talk to her a couple times in my hometown, where she’s from, and she is definitely an amazing person!
I find it crazy how much further above his head Brian has to press the bar compared to Maxime even though their hands are in the same place. Shows that being super tall and long arms isn’t always a advantage.
@@bobdole7292 what brian is doing is typically called a push press but its a behind the neck push press. A jerk is when you bend your knees before the push and then when the bar is on its way up you bend your knees again to get under the bar and catch it with straight arms and bent knees so you can then just straighten your legs which is easier so people do it to lift more weight overhead sorry if I over explained that
@@Jameslow2486 are you ok? No trans people here. Just a very strong lady who can probably kick the shit out of you. Or her husband that’s right beside her will
Yep! What an awesomely mighty woman. When Hollywood cast women parts where they can take men down, they should cast women like her, someone actually STRONG ENOUGH to do the deed, and looks it.
You can find video of Pudzianowski doing this exercise. Great for training overhead lockout. I'd recommend behind neck strict presses too to build the rear delts and traps even for bodybuilders.
honestly I wouldn't train behind the neck presses if it wasn't a competition lift. My mobility is just not good enough so the risk to injure my rotator cuff would be way to high. Don't really see the benefit of behind the neck presses vs normal strict presses edit: I honestly admire that Brian is even able to behind the neck presses seemingly without any pain being the size he is... And of course the weight he moves is crazy😱
I loved hearing “Cowboys from Hell” and “I’m Broken” in the background! Love some Pantera! “Slaughtered” is one you might dig as well as “Ghost Walking” by Lamb of God 🤘
Just subbed to your channel! I can't stop watching your videos. First one I saw was the plant fitness video (since I work out 4 days a week.) Are you guys training for WWE?
Friendly reminder to Brian: your biggest weakness is being methodical and not explosive enough. Want to win #5, have to DETONATE on every event. You have the strength, but the last several years I've noticed this trend and it's held you back in my view. Conquer that and you CAN win.
I’ve been hitting the gym 4 to 5 days a week since January, it was my New Years resolution. Since January I’ve lost 30 pounds I went from 244 down to 208, and I’m finally feeling good about myself. I’ve really slimmed down. But my question is what do I do to lose belly fat ??
Keep losing weight. Targeting fat loss to an area is not really possible. You can try abdominal/core exercises and hope to tone some, but fat just has to be lost to get rid of it.
@@patrician2pleb Good comment, just seconding it. Don't follow the stupid 15 min ab-workout videos to lose belly fat (spot reducing unfortunately isn't possible). Keep up the work and progress will keep coming, even if you're moving weight to the right areas instead of just losing weight (comment aimed at OP)
I love behind the neck press. I get more power doing behind the neck press than front overhead press. I get no power doing overhead presses in the front. I have done seated behind neck shoulder press with 275 lbs. for full reps at a bodyweight of 190 lbs.
In 100% competition shape, Brian's strength is unmatched. He only loses points in the more speed movement events. Wishing you all the luck for this 5th title it would mean so much to you and all your fans!!!!
I absolutely love all the work Brian does but here recently workout videos send me to a dark place :( I have a labral tear in my left shoulder and can't do a lot of workouts or work my chest at all and can't afford to have the surgery for probably another year or so :( I can't wait for wsm this year tho I believe Brian will pull it off this year. Keep up the great work. We love you.
i was in the same place last year . got the surgery done and finally went back to the gym a month and a half ago . very early advice is go light and easy ! this shoulder pain/soreness/tightness doesn’t go away unfortunately , at least for me it hasn’t
@@sonofodin7888 thanks for the advice, if I could even do light I'd honestly be greatfull at this point. ATM if I try to bench even an empty bar it feels like I'm being shanked by a angry leprechaun.
Hey man I know exactly how you feel in October I was in a car accident and tore my bicep and left labrum in my shoulder had the surgery a week ago Tuesday. Watching Brian work and knowing it's possible to push back helps me, im wearing a shaw strength brothers in strength cut off today as I'm back in the dojo talking and teaching classes. We are strong together you got this!
@@MaZ2718 You've all lived so many years on this Earth, and your human pattern recognition is that of a baby. It's a chick, bro. Her voice is deeper from PEDs. You know nothing about the sport.
Turned into a big ol bodybuilding sesh at the end there. What other sport has competitors training together weeks before a big comp? If Strongman blows up one day, I hope the money doesn't change this part of it.
Any pressing behind the neck puts a tremendous strain on the shoulders..it’s why most BB’s do front presses & have moved away from these for a while now …
It’s interesting that the weaker pressers are doing very well because they’re used to using their legs as the driving force where as the stronger strict pressers I think are struggling because they’ve been able to muscle it through. We’ll see at wsm what happens. I’m gunning for the pair of you to do well
@@CWPWWRESTLING agreed, he’s my dark horse as bar the stones, looking like almost the perfect events for him if he can A) qualify for the final B) survive the heat
The way he controlled that weight at 8:17 as it started forcing him backwards, Brian is incredibly strong.
Watching strong people pushing each other to move stupid amounts of weight is always inspiring. Equally inspiring is Brian's ability to be an absolute savage and a gem of a human being.
Yes, Brian being a true gem of a person cannot be overstated.
as I recall, steroids are still illegal.... so are you saying he's natural, or are you saying federal drug criminals who lie to fans are gems?
you can choose either one
@@steveb6718 We don't care…..
And also, Brian shows no signs of steroid usage
@@mtblover4975 no signs? do you even know how steroids work? i cant read things like this, they lower my IQ
You can tell Sam is so excited to be there. That makes the workouts so much better. Great work guys!
Guys is right, because you know three dicks and all.
I think ppl coming in and training with you is push you to a new level! Let's go #5!
I want Martins to win because I’ve been following him for a while and he’s the younger healthier guy with a chance at having one of the best strongman careers. He also lifts for America too but I would gladly watch Martins lose if it means Brian getting his 5th title.

@@maxwellnotthecoffee1560 I mean obviously since Brian is a 6’8 monster he can’t learn how to do split jerk like Martins does in a short amount of time
honestly just when you think he cant outdo himself he does something like this. Good job man
Imagine Brian going to a public Gym and someone sees him with 445 and think he’s going to squat 😅😅😅that’s some goat stuff.
So what Clarence Kennedy does…

Indeed, you have to go through the struggle to get to and enjoy your dreams. Mr. Brian Shaw exemplifies that statement for sure.
I find it crazy how much further above his head Brian has to press the bar compared to Maxime even though their hands are in the same place. Shows that being super tall and long arms isn’t always a advantage.
Dumb question but the way they’re sinking and dipping makes it a jerk doesn’t it? I thought a press was more static
