According to the legend
When she met Paul in High School
Nick was the principal
@@Ariishe Principals great grandfathers great great grandfather*
"Only 5 men have lifted this in history" Brain Shaw and Eddie Hall : hold my chalk
Yes u so funnnyyyyyyy
They like we have to do it
Brian's lift was incredible but Eddie's was even more impressive seeing as he has been retired a while and doesn't really train grip that much now i don't think. These guys are super human!
@@garysellars8914 they the strongest men in world in history can't wait for more reconds
Eddie is awesome
"Only five men on the planet have lifted these plates" Then they do it... These guys are awesome.
Only five men have done it
15 have tried
Are lol
Make that nine now
I tried it was not working on my favore
Now they're seven
Me: "Did someone say grip strength test?"
*Jujimufu has joined the chat*
It's a shame juji wasn't on this episode getting to see those plates with Brian, seeing the two of them geeking out hard over the plates and the grip test would of been amazing 😂😂😂😂
Woah woah woah.... Don't forget Tom you guys! Lol
@@jamiestensgard6758 Tom will be credited for editing the video
@@sirtimothy92 lol not good enough for Tom
Imagine romark actin like dat?@@jamiestensgard6758 Hahaha sooooo true.
Great to see these guys excited going into Paul Andersons basement gym, and Brian seeing that York plate.....PRICELESS!
I wonder how much they are worth! Surely one should go to Brian's collection, and it would be fun to see how much one of them could fetch in a sports auction.
@@djhenyo the plates with no connection to Paul Anderson are probably $500 each. With the connection I'd imagine 3 or 4x each!
We have those at my old high school
@@malikprice2821 was gonna say my high school only had York plates
Nobody:
Nick: I'm 50 years old.
"I'm the world record holder in the shield carry."
Dude acts like he might be dying tomorrow lmao
@@purplefruit5092 Did you know that he's the world record holder in the shield carry?
Vladpryde no lmao ty for telling me
@@purplefruit5092 with he weights he lifts, he really could.
Even for as brutally strong as Eddie is, you can tell how much eddie was legit impressed with his response to Brian lifting that with ease where he struggled. That says something.
Wasn't that great? Eddie and Brian have genuine respect and admiration for each other.
yeah it says Brain's hands are 2x bigger than Eddie's lol
“Nick used to train with these” “I actually did used to train with those” perfect lol
Also, Brian doing those pinch plates was amazing since it meant so much to him and his grip is top of the top, and seeing Eddie do it was INSANE since he isn’t traditionally know for his grip, but he clearly isn’t someone to discount on this either.
It looked like to me Eddie could have done it first time but didn't want to steal Brian's thunder.
kiddkaos1 maybe, but grip is weird. It fluctuates a lot with fatigue and day to day, and even attempt to attempt if you don’t believe you can do it. I think he could have but a small factor made him not rather than intentionally waiting till Brian did it first
I love how Brian succeeding sparked Eddie to want to try again. Even when they aren’t competing, and they are in a totally chill setting, that competitive drive is still there and I love that.
Oops re: my mistake. Eddie didn't have as much stickum applied to the weights until Brian put on more, which helped Eddie's grip.
That’s the coolest thing to say “Yeah I’m that old”.
Breaking world records like its nothing now only 7 people lifted it
Brian chases some records, he's an absolute monster.
I am so thankful that a series like this exists, because through it I'm being able to show my friends and grandparents the sort of thing that gets me out of bed in the morning! Many people consider those interested in lifting heavy things to be brainless Meatheads, history knocked it out of the park greenlighting this series! THIS is what strongman/powerlifting has needed for a long time!
Extacly me to bro. I cant lift half as heavy as these guys but I still enjoy to associate myself with the sport.
Un Listed Nah powerlifting is a joke compared to strongman, these guys are actual athletes
Nice words 👍😎
same
@@ShayanGivehchian d
3:14 Did Brian chalk up to get down into the basement?
He had to put in his mouthpiece
He chalkes up before going to bed
He chalks up before peeing
They might have done the heavy chalking up outside first because if youve ever chalked up inside before it can start getting in your nose and lungs and makes it difficult to breath. Then imagine doing that in a tiny basement!
Brian chalks up before he chalks up
I met Paul Anderson I'm 1978 and he was a man with a great personality.
Since I've followed strength & endurance from 1960s I remember seeing Paul's picture in a very old Strength & Health doing a near parallel back squat with 1500 pounds.His hips & legs very large for only a 5'8" man.
RF Johns His legs might have been 5’8 around. And that’s only barely hyperbole.
He is actually my great great uncle
For a second when brian was talking about the plates i thought this was pawnStars!
Edit: thanks for the likes, cuz apparently u have to comeback and thank people for agreeing with you on your comment
ha ha he was really passionate wasnt he
@@TheDuke4100 I can give you $30 for both. That's my limit
Does anyone actually know the value of these? Just curious
@@shane199817 ask brian since he know his plates
"best i can do is $1. I mean the plates are going to take up so much space, I gotta frame it, and its going to take a while to find a buyer."
Eddie Hall : Cant do it
BRIAN shaw : Does it easily
Eddie Hall: aii he's ridiculing me now I gotta do it
Brian"only 5 people have done it, proceeds to do it himself"
To be fair those plates are rare.
Now 7 people done it 😂 😂 😂
@@ederictamares1081 and we witness it!
@@AshenTarnished but they still tried it before them
I dont think the others had chalk.
Brian may honestly be one of the most legendary strongmen to have ever gone in the sport to be honest like the man has been 4x worlds strongest man he has been in the top 10s and 5s so many times and like honestly dude how many more near impossible weight challenges are you going to straight up walk all over like they are nothing jesus christ the man is a beast
Well said, Brian has relentless discipline when it come to this great sport:) **Peace**
Also won 3 Arnold Strongman Classic titles, at the hardest possible time to attempt the #1 place, during the almost undefeatable Big Z's reign. the greatest of all time who won it 8 times.
Alexy Tousignant he won’t be if Brian win a fifth wsm
Brian’s going for the fifth WSM this year, and I think he’ll do it
@@jaket2274 depends of mateusz kieliskowski performance
If Paul Anderson's York plates were already "priceless", they somehow gained even more value as Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall did that grip strength challenge. Brian and Eddie are legendary in their own rights.
2:03 we all know the directors cut out what Eddie was about to do to Brian
THE GOD WHO GOVERNS THE SUN SUN GOD JASMINE LOL!
haha, you see him grabbing something and we all know what happened lol
The worlds biggest men look like boys when listening to her at 0:28
Lmao they do look like little kids listening to her
Avain That's because they KNOW that Anderson was the MAN !
That’s what a good respectful women does
We’re all just big kids in certain moments
Especially Eddie haha
In the mid 1960s I lived in a midwest town of 1200 people.
Paul came and spoke to our
" youth for Christ " group in a friends living room . A truly honorable and humble man .
2:31 brian channeling his inner pickers and pawnstars knowledge.
"Seeing him do that feat of strength, it's just another day in the Life of Brian"
Always look on the bright side of life.
Mike Wendlandt I feel like most people missed this joke
@@PMcGuffin hilarious joke
I used plates like that too back in the day! Getting old😞...
What great guys! And what a great tribute to Paul Anderson, who was undoubtedly one of the strongest ever!💪🏼
It is so fantastic to see these guys paying tribute to a not too well known legend in the history of strong men. Paul Anderson was an absolute wrecking ball of a man.
Successfully completing that feat of strength, in Paul Anderson’s old weight room no less. This is probably the absolute coolest strongman accomplishment I’ve ever seen! You guys rock!
So hyped for this show! Thank you TV people for giving the strength world a chance!
When will it start being shown on history channel
I mean the full episodes
@@ksavv4729 check the description
I did man but i cant really find any info about the show do you know the date of its premiere on history
@@ksavv4729 there's a link in the desc which says : New Episodes Wednesdays at 10/9c
Brian now it's your turn.
He picks it up like picking up baby basket 😅
You _know_ Eddie was mentally cursing up a storm when he saw that.
he has the advantage of having bigger hands tho
Chlorruption love how he said he wasn’t going to try again but had to after Brian made it look easy love the competition 😂
Being from Georgia I am a fan of Paul Anderson. I delivered a tv to his wife before I knew anything about working out this must of been in the early 2000, it wasnt until later I realized how lucky I was to visit that home . His wife was very nice also.
My dad grew up with Paul. When I was a kid my dad invited Paul to come give his testimony at our church. It's something I'll never forget.
I love the relationship between Brian and Eddie! Super awesome
Seeing Brian geek out over those plates is awesome. It shows his genuine passion for the history of strength sports. Also goes to show you can be a geek for anything, even when you're one of the strongest human beings to ever walk the planet!
I love so much they have each other's back and encourage one another. Amazing.
Brian does a lot of grip training but addmitedly made it look very easy but it still puts into perspective how strong eddie is without training for it, huge feat of strength for both of them
I saw Paul in person, he came to our Junior High School and did his feats of strength. I don't remember all of them, but he bent bars and put a hankerchief in his hand and started pounding nails through boards with his hand. Had a booming voice. I'm 66.
3:13 Brian sneaking in cocaine into the basement
Paul came to our high school back in the 60s,an amazing man
Awesome seeing Brian excited and knowledgeable about the york 45 pound plates. And great seeing both him and Eddie lift them
Eddie's grip is amazingly impressive though considering how small his hands are compared to brian
Lemme just make history real quick no big deal
Thanks for this, History. Paul Anderson is a legend.
Can't wait to see all these in full legth episodes
That Paul Anderson was a beast in his time
Just looked him up
You can watch them on the history Channel the first 3 episodes are out rn
@@bassdropheadshot not in england
Brian's little grin and thumbs up when he lifted those plates was so adorable. As was his reaction when he sees the plates for the first time. Such a fanboy moment.
When I was in Middle School or high school I don't remember which, Paul Anderson came to our school and did a show where he drove nails with his hand and picked up a table with 18 PPL sitting on it and damp some steel and other things that I can't really remember. He was larger than life that's for sure.
One small grip for Brian Shaw, one giant grip for Eddie Hall. Thanks for the great content on your TV show.
Paul Anderson is truly the Babe Ruth of strong men!
Good to see these young guys pay homage to Paul Anderson.
This just warms my heart... absolutely love these guys and the sport.
When the joke about Nick lifting with those plates turns into truth a couple seconds later 😂. "I'm that old"
Paul Anderson once Lifted Me and five other people on a barbell in the early 70s he drove a 16 penny nail with his fist into a piece of solid Pine what an amazing kind man
I love how Eddie changed his shirt in between the downstairs and upstairs scenes.
I just imagine Thor watching this at home, scoffing at the warning at the beginning of the video.
**Trying at home intensifies**
he would be in tears while his team of flunkies massage his ego and body.
This comment aged so well :D
He's training to do it with 91 pounds
@@bobrobertson3372 😂
Brian’s cute little thumbs up 👍🏽 😂 when he accomplished that record was the best thing 4:35
Paul Anderson was my dad’s hero & one of my childhood inspirations to get into strength training. Thanks so much to the History Channel for putting this all together.
Can you imagine how happy it would make Paul Anderson to know that 2 of the strongest men in history are lifting in his basement and geeking out over his stuff. This show is the best man.
Paul Anderson was an awesome strong guy. In his day, he was the best. He once broke a record for total weight I think at the Olympics while sick as a dog.
I think I read once that the first competition Paul Anderson entered, he beat the world record in the squat by like 80 lbs.
Wow! Those plates are priceless! Seeing Brian and Eddie lift them was impressive. It's great seeing them get along so well, all of the guys, with each other!
This is one of the coolest thing's I have ever seen. These modern strong men at Paul Anderson's place!!!!!!!!
One thing I especially liked about the series is that the guys called BS on the record when needed. Like the cannon carry, it was obvious that nobody just picked up 1100lbs to their shoulder. Cut to the Icelandics, and you can tell them that someone from Iceland lifted two horses with one hand in the year 938, and they'd all be "yes very impressive achievement, much respect from us all".
Paul was something I can’t believe he came out of my home town
"Thease are are essentially priceless"
*puts chalk on them*
I mean its a hunk of metal, its not like he was smearing chalk on the Mona Lisa.
Yes, practically indestructible chunks of steel melt when chalk is applied
Awesome to see Brian's enthusiasm for the history of the sport. I would like to see more of that kind of stuff.
A strong man who travels long distances on a bicycle? Jesus I'm instantly sold!!
Back when people knew that some cardio wasn't bad for muscle gain :P
@@bulletproof1581 With Paul Anderson's leg strength he only needed to pedal once every mile.
@@bulletproof1581 Franco
@@Alpostpone Hahaha I can perfectly picture that
@@Alpostpone hahahaha
I recently watched several videos of Paul Anderson and I was moved in my heart he was a true genuine hero of both physical and spiritual strength!
Brian and Eddie, sitting in a tree... gripping weight plates with absolute ease.
Nice to see you guys respecting the legacy of one of the all time greats!
Loved this episode. This guy was amazing. I heard they're not doing a second season. Such a bummer. Such a great show.
I don't think many people understand how freakishly strong Brian Shaw really is, quite possibly the best to ever do it.
Strong people with great attitude you got a love it
I think Brian has the best grip strength in history. The way he lifts the Thomas inch dumbbells, the way he lifted the millennium dumbbell as well. This mans hands have so much power
"In history" but you only mean to say in RECENT history. Angus MacAskill a foot taller than Shaw, bigger hands. Maximinus Thrax, 8 feet 6 inches, wore bracelet as a ring, way bigger hands than Shaw.
Brian and Eddie is Stewart and Brian (the dog) from the family guy...Eddie sounds just like Stewart esepcially when he calls Brian's name
I love to see Brian and Eddy together so much fun .
I love this show, kudos to HISTORY channel for posting. Eddie, Nick, Rob and Brian, they all seem like genuinely nice guys. I need more of this:)
Love these guys!! Eddie and Brian need their own show!
This show is AWESOME! Well done everyone.
Paul Anderson is an amazing monster
I love how these guys are fierce competitors AND great mates, so refreshing and nice to see, also it was great that Eddie went back and tried the lift again, I think everyone needs friends like that..that make you strive forward
That WUUUZZZZ AWWWWWSSSOOOOMMMMME!!! This has been my favorite episode so far in this series! Brian and Eddie truly share a most special bond it's amazing to see their love , respect , and cheering each other on!
Paul Anderson was almost a foot shorter than Brian. Can you imagine the difference in hand size, and he was still able to do this?
Brian and Eddie are my favorite. They don’t try hard, they are originals
Pair of legends
2:47 Bless you Nick. You're a gem.
Great job. Brian looked like a kid in a candy shop when the York plates came out. It's great that he knows all the history of strongman and it's equipment. Brian lifting those plates so easly, WOW!
Being big isn’t a challenge. Being big is a blessing. There aren’t challenges with it. Just inconveniences
I really enjoyed watching this video. Its fun to watch, that you are like friends, even you compete sometimes against eachother.
I like it so much more when brian and eddie are wholesome and supportive rather then when they are bickering at each other
I've trained with those "old original " York plates. They were great to squat with.
The best episode so far. The widow and daughter are very nice, Brian showed his strength, and eddy barely talked.
20 odd years ago the York pan weights was the only weights I knew I don't know how old they were but that was the type of weights we used all the time in the gym
Didn't even know there was other types of weight plates there till later
truly Brian has really nothing else to prove. he is the greatest
The childish banter is what makes these guys great!
Brian's hands make him so much better at gripping than he already would be...wow!
I wish these were longer
The pinch grip lift of the two York 45s was made (sort of) famous by Terry Todd in his book INSIDE POWERLIFTING. He described watching a buddy named Jack Fritsch do it. Todd was a guy who had done bent rows with 500 pounds, but Fritsch blew his mind.
Technically Brian's right was the 6th and his left was the 7th, Eddie was the 8th😂😂
Amazing Brian and Eddie,... Number 6 and 7 in the World to ever lift those.
I was expecting to see Brian ask about buying some of those weights
Top Lobster amen to that one brother
my Royal Ambassador church group was named the Paul Anderson chapter. I am so glad to see this on youtube! thanks for sharing guys!
Legend says Robert Oberst only owns this one T-Shirt
Paul's strongest move was lifting up the spirits of children.
