Interesting choice of hairstyle, bro😂👍
That hairstyle holds back your channel’s potential. Get thee hence to a barber young squire!
Appreciate it!
Seeing how quick a strength athlete like leonidas does good. Gives high hopes for Brian
And Larry?
@@lukea136shhhhh it never happened
Gives very high hopes!
Larry has been doing very well!
Great freakin point
This is the guy who pried a car door open to save someone from a crash
yup.
I'm with you on the long game for Shaw. Could be a new empire. Like you said though, if he sticks. Nice video man!
Long game it is. Thank you!
Yeah, I've been arguing with people about shaw. I get it, levan is a bad, bad man. There are a few that compete in strong man that way bigger and stronger than levan and if these guys start crossing over, levan will have some scary competition.
And Brain already knows and has what it takes to be a champion. He's a legit freak mentally and physically.
You also have to take in the fact that Devon, in the video, flat out told Brian to relax so that he could demonstrate what he ws trying to show him. That means that Brian was strong enough to make it difficult for Devon to just do it. Devon maybe could have done it if he really put his mind to it. But he told Brian that they are going slow and low effort in the beginning so that they could keep working. But for Devon to tell Brian to relax a bit so that he can demonstrate the low hand top roll blows my mind. People will most likely say that Devon is trolling in the video, but i doubt it. Kenkreet Albow even said in his video that you could see that Devon did not have hand control when he tried to demonstrate the move. When a professional armwrestler shows a new guy in the sport a move, they just do it since they are stronger in the right areas. So that shows us that the strength gap is not as big as you think. Sure. If they had a proper match, Devon would win. But seeing him failing at first to demonstrate something on the table... That does not happen normally. Insane...
Konkreet Albow is a troll, and Devon is trying to teach him form, not have a contest. Brian can't learn proper form if he's putting energy into working the wrong way. It's not even remotely close, and it may never be.
In one year, if Brian trains well enough, he could beat Devon off of power alone in a strap. I agree with you, the fact that Devon has to tell Brian to calm down is just wild. I'm excited to see if he dedicated himself to the sport and I truly think he will
@@arryaxx263 He is not a troll and you can actually see what he is talking about in the video. I know that you can't learn proper form if you are working the wrong way. But Devon was going to move Brian towards the pin pad and demonstrate the move he was talking about. Brian was holding him even tho he was not actually straining himself. He was not doing anything wrong there, so he was not "working the wrong way".That means that Brian has tons of strength already. I know that Devon was not serious, but for an armwrestling teacher not being able to easily move the hand and arm of newbie like he wants to says a lot. I am practising armwrestling so i do know some things.
@@keanumcgill Yeah i think so too. Since Brian's strength base is so big, he will be a problem for a lot of people in straps. And if he learns how to slip... Oh Boy... We will have to see how far he can go, but i imagine him being a monster for sure.
Nah, it really meant he wanted Brian to learn technique and not hurt himself.
Brian needs several things. He needs to learn how to arm wrestle, get really good at arm wrestling and then build up his wrist and tendon strength which will take a couple years of consistent training. The issue for bodybuilders and powerlifters is if the train consistently in arm wrestling they have to give up some of the traditional training in gym due to tendon pain. They end up quitting sometimes or not going all in.
Its true, but you cant compare him to bodybuilders or even power lifters in the tendon strength department. Hes the top of the top of strongmen, they lift shit at every angle, in weird ways, throw shit...they already have massive tendon strength pretty much everywhere. A bodybuilder or a guy doing jerks and cleans does not come close.
@@234i9 I don’t care what a person does, if you don’t arm wrestle you have to develop tendons for arm wrestling. They have to get used to it.
@@Dmgolfer22That’s not 100% accurate because for Khaled to beat Schoolboy is already an exception that technically shouldn’t have happened.
@@sinclairj7492 the exception to the rule doesn’t negate the rule. However, Khaled moved on the table really well and had natural instinct for it. Whereas Brian is very robotic and awkward on the table (which is normal for a beginner). He had also arm wrestled a good bit prior to that.
@@Dmgolfer22 No I was commenting on you telling the other guy about tendons which didn’t apply to Khaled since he beat a very strong and experienced arm wrestler and as it has been said before, strongman have some tight tendons. Brian could climb the ranks fairly quickly.
Devon could be 300 and jacked pretty easily if he wanted to, but the thing is that Devon is truly natty. I don’t think he has ever done gear or wants to.
I don't know if I would go as far as saying Devon is Natty, I think without spilling the beans, you can find the proof through the internet. I do like your train of thought however.
Brian is way stronger than Levan 💯 no doubt and if Brian can be Brian and learn all the techniques and he will master it
He will destroy Levan
Maybe one day, it would be a wild story to see unfold.
I've watched Shaw since day one of world strong man and seen him lift all his titles. He may be a giant and strong but he is highly intelligent and always wants to learn. If Brian says he going into arm wrestling then god help that sport once he is ready
When he puts his mind into something, he can achieve it. Achieving big goals in armwrestling is very possible for him.
IF Brian survives large doses of doping without serious complications and doesn't tear anything in arm wrestling, he has a good chance
He has been taking large doses of doping for over a decade lol
He definitely has a very good chance!
I thought you had headphones on, but it was just your hair
Ahahahahahaha
Lmao
1 year no injuries he is on top.. People have no clue the strength he has.
Brian is a madman
I'm not even thinking about Levan. I'm thinking about all the other dudes he's going to give the sads😊
Its going to be insane!!!
Your hair is off putting sir…
rip levan
Most likely a huge human who already has the strength and tendons to be top 10! Why would anyone think he has weak tendons? Dude’s been lifting insane weights for decades, I’m pretty sure his tendons are quite strong! A little technique which he’s a crazy fast learner. If he decides to compete, it’s a wrap! He’ll show how much size and strength makes a difference!! Brian himself is being very humble about it and downplaying his own ability but he’s said many times he won’t even do something unless he believes he can be the best, so he already knows that he’s going for the top spot, that super heavyweight title. Se ya Levan!! He already outweighs Levan and is bigger in every way, longer levers! It goes on n on !! Get ready for domination!!
I do like your train of thought. I do think there is this "misleading" information on how your tendons have to be steel to be great but they just have to be healthy. Like you said, he's been at high level his whole life, if he put his mind to it, he will achieve anything he wants. Big things are coming!
@@keanumcgill And hes not a bodybuilder. People saying "he needs tendon strength...have they seen a strongman event?
It’s a very specific strength that takes time to build. Brian obviously has a better chance than most but to think he’s going to be able to beat Levan is silly at this point.
the sport should absolutely be in the olympics...especially since it's not subjective...like rhythmic gymnastics, which is ridiculous.
lol a little problem with the supplements they take...
It should be in the Olympics for those who are tested and proved natural. I think it would be a beautiful thing to see.
I agree but for those who want to be in the olympics are to be the best at natural and tested.
Levan, would be unable to compete because he is full of roids.
@@daniellewis4226He’d pass the test like they all do
Brian's arms are the same size as Devon's torso.
It’s insane
Put the handlebar mustache on Brian and he’d look like Bull Hurley in Over the Top bigger version of him of course
Imagine that!
We could absolutely see Brain vs Levan 5-6 years down the road.
If Brian goes all in on arm
Wrestling he is gonna give a lot of people problems in 2-3 years.
Just a couple years and he will be a big problem.
Look, I don’t think Levan can be as big as he is now and still healthy in 5-6 years, same for Brian.
But I believe if Brian trains armwrestling seriously once-twice a week he’s going to be a monster in just 2 years.
@@BigO161107Once a week?! 😂
@@BigO161107 Brian is healthier than Levan, so i think that he can maintain much more of his size than Levan can. Brian is naturally much bigger than Levan as well.
Brian ain't no spring chicken and I doubt he'll wanna get back on the juice, if a young pup comes along willing to inject himself with whatever necessary, a la cypenklov, idk if Brian will have a rebuttal
your audio is way too quiet. Please edit your vids with more audio gain (at least 5 db or more)
Thank you! I will keep that in mind going forward.
Thing is Devan knows as he sparred and trained him a little as he flew down to see Brain tells you a lot and Devan did whisper Brain is coming
It says a lot of Devon is saying the things he is.
there is a lot of talk about tendon strength an I think strongmen have a huge advantage over powerlifters in the department. Bicep tears are very common with strongman competitors. Things like shield carries and the Conan wheel are extremely taxing on the bicep in that static flexed position. Something a powerlifter never experiences. The atlas stones are notorious for causing bicep injuries and Brian was an absolute beast on the stones. Those put immense pressure on the bicep during the lift and Brian has never had a bicep injury. Srongmen lift things and throw them from odd positions too which really helps build resilience in tendons as well. We are going to see some massive pronation lifts from Brian it will interesting to see how he stacks up against Devon and levan in that lift once he tries for one rep maxes.
The amount of strength he gains from strongman for the biceps will correlate to Armwrestling to a certain extent for sure
What people do not realize Brian been doing some level of arm wrestling for the better part of a decade. There is video online of Jujimufu arm wrestling Brian like 4 years ago.
Juji an Devon are long time friends an likely have been following Brian progress over these years. So the idea he just jumped into arm wrestling is wrong. Once he gets his shoulder over his arm an twisting it's over for most.
Devon well aware of Brian strength an weaknesses. He was playing this up but Brian is no new guy.
Brian will not be a walk in the park that is for sure
He’s strong enough to do whatever he wants. He’s got the most technically sound arm wrestler in the history of the sport training him. Is he ready for a levan match? Hell no. Probably won’t be for a few years minimum. But with the position he has placed himself in with his physical strength, mental fortitude, training partner he’s going to be ready much faster than anyone else could be. Got all the tools just time to build the machine. If he wants it he has the opportunity to take over the sport. Hope he falls in love with it. If he does it’s only a matter of time.
He can definitely make something special happen if he really decides to go all in that’s for sure.
Idk..incredible strength..can he bring it to the table (without hurting himself)?..just my impression but it looks like he stops pulling & only goes to the side
His side pressure could be a problem along with his grip.
So I think last year someone asked Lavan about Strongmen like Brian or Eddie coming into the sports. He said if they get into it it will be a big problem for the top guys. So it not just Devon who thinks it will kick on
That is wild to think however it does make sense
Brian is a genetic freak. With the right training and technique he can give Levan a run for his money. I am a big fan of Levan he is a very humble person and a great athlete but its good to see someone who can faily challenge him rise to the occasion. School boy may be a future prospect as well.
Schoolboy is right up there. Maybe schoolboy vs Brian shaw as Shaws first match
What are you doing, trying to get somebody to beat Levan. Is that Devon's revenge on levan because Devon can't beat Levan oh my gosh. Devon just stops it and moves on because you are just trying to stay relevant.
It’s all hypothetical!
Devon is the greatest person in arm wrestling not only because he is a great athlete but because he is a fantastic teacher and he shares information freely you cannot have enough respect for Devon. He is an amazing person.
Devon is the best when it comes to talking about armwrestling
I think the press is most suitable for him since he is very tall. He should take the advantage. U see devon telling him to toproll, bit it seems he always go to the press.
His height will help a lot with leverage.
I agree super exciting Devon training shaw totally awesome!!!! Super excited
I am very excited! It's very interesting to see at the least.
If this has the desired effect and draws many of the strongmen to start training in this as well, that would be very interesting.
It would be really nice to see him do well and then many strongmen follow.
Why dont they just arm wrestle seriously and see what happens? I dont think Brian is going to lose, his arms are arguably strongest on the planet.
His arms are right up there that’s for sure
Against Levan? The best arm wrestler in the world who’s been training arm wrestling as his sole focus for years. Nah it’s not happening. Maybe if Brian trains his ass off for 2 years at arm wrestling he might make it close but still lose. But right right now Levan puts Brian down without an expression on his face. Trust me. Larry Wheels was very strong too and he couldn’t budge Levan with 3 heavy duty resistance bands helping him after training arm wrestling for about a full year straight.
Brian and Larry Wheels should arm wrestle right now actually. That’d be a good first opponent.
@larrytate1657 Devan is well past his prime. Brian is 4 time world champ and about 2 or 3 times stronger than Devan. I dont care what "technique" Devan uses his arms and wrists and shoulders are all weaker. Tired of watching these gay warm up training videos. Just arm wrestle and let's see. Then we wouldn't have to argue either...
@larrytate1657 brian would beat Larry like a child I dont even need to see it.
My only concern is Brian trying to progress too quickly. With his name and reputation, i forsee AW events trying to book him and throwing money at him just to be the first and draw eyes. As Devon explained, he needs to go slow and let his supoortive structure catch up to his strength. If he just trains and brings in Pro Arm Wrestlers to learn from and create content for at least a year (preferably 2) and THEN starts competing at the bottom... well then. That would be amazing!
I don't know if he is trying to quickly. He has to start somewhere and it can seem overwhelming from all the content that has been produced about him.
@keanumcgill sorry, guess I wasn't clear in my original comment. Lol my bad. I meant I'm worried he MIGHT end up trying to progress too quickly because of offers and such. Not that he is already 😉
IM A NEW CHANNEL AS WELL APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT
Thank you, good luck to you as well man
Brian just needs one thing, Hold the go to mat, nun this devon bs
If Brian can just squeeze and hold, could be dangerous
Brian’s first match should be Larry Wheels.
That could be a fun match!
2 years, Brian is super intelligent and Armwrestlers overestimate the complexity of techniques, and power of magical tendons.
His tendons could end ups being tendons of steel!
@@keanumcgill I got laughed at on here when this was first mentioned and I said 2 years, stupid clueless idiot. Interesting Devon one of the. goats is now saying the same, I’m doing a smug face.
BRIAN IS TOP 5 STRONGEST ON PLANET RIGHT NOW
Possibly!
I want brian to commit to it would love to see him competing!
It would be so cool to see him at a tournament!
brian gets good he has the cardio and power to withstand anyone
If Brian gets the endurance, ouufff.
If Brian can learn Devons techniques he can be a beast.
Oh man, I agree.
Natty vs 🧃 . Both hulks
Oh yes!
I think 6 month he's a problem for anyone
I would think as of now he kind of already is!
Brian's biggest strength is his hips and his IQ.
His shear size alone.
Devon Larratt looks like he doesn't take steroids anymore.
Looks much better. This guy is naturally around 240 lbs or so.
Just because he ain't super bulked heavy doesn't mean is isn't on juice. He is still huge just slimmer
Uhm, interesting haircut lol
To say at the very least
This dude was clearly named after Keanu Reeves
To be honest, I was
Should've seen Brian doing mma. Had an NFL defensive lineman all pro as his training partner and was throwing the guy around.
He literally had to be careful with an NFL defensive lineman to not hurt him.
He's such a special athlete.
The thing that people don't take into account with Brian is that he had world class strength BEFORE he started training seriously. He is a true freak of nature that doesn't come in to the world very often.
He went from being a D2 basketball player, to interning under a strength coach at Arizona State, he was manhandling offensive lineman in drills even though he had never played football. He realized he still wanted to be an athlete rather than a coach, so he started getting interested in strongman. He went to a fitness convention early into his training and easily lifted the Thomas Inch dumbell that someone had on display, to the shock of the booth owner who told him how rare that was even for the most elite strongmen.
Same goes for Levan and Vitaly.....those 2 men are naturally strong and powerful. So Brian could train how much he wants that wouldn't matter for these 2 arm wrestlers. They will still crush him.
I agree, Brian is very special and that's what makes this case very unique. He is truly one of a kind.
@@halfers83 dude you had absolutely no argument in what you just said
@halfers83 Yes, Vitaly and Levan are strong, no doubt, and freaks in their own right. But, what I am saying is that Brian Shaw started out at a point that most freaks couldn't reach at their peaks. I doubt he will ever beat Levan, but I firmly believe that if he devotes himself 100% to armwrestling training, he will be one the top 10 guys in 3-5 years. I don't think that is the case for any other elite strongman, Shaw is a freak among freaks.
@@gilbert7271 What argument you speaking of? For speaking the truth?? Man! Do you know anything about some of the arm wrestlers?! Do you feel they will see an amateur/a rookie all to come and run the show because of "StrongMan"?? Look take a backseat and relax yourself! You knows nothing!
Brian needs technic
It takes time unfortunately
You have absolutely no idea who Brian is or what strength is.
Maximum effort in grip while holding someone's hand, game over
We will see my man
click bait
Did you watch the video?
Brian Shaw could train how much he wants........when it comes to Levan and Vitaly he will be crushed.
Brian has a lot of time so we will see as it passes
The strength and size are there. The only thing left to know is how committed Brian will be. He is one of the most disciplined athletes I know. If he puts all his concentration on this, in 2 years he can be in the top 10.
2 years isn't that far away!
i think shaw takes everything he dose to an extreme level and i really feel like hes going for this
I really hope he is! It would so cool to see him do well in the sport
Let's not overlook that Brian is a former 4-time World"s Strongest Man winner.
I think he is a 5 time WSM!
Devon was talking the whole time. And was not heaving. You get the picture
Yup
Your hair , it's awesome. You should make a video about it :-)
Maybe one day!!
When I looked up Matt Mask's height I come up with 6'5
I found it at 6'8. Ive seen Matt in person and Matt is extremely tall.
Matt is 6'5, been around him numerous times. even trained at his gym. My good friend is around 6'3 1/2 and Matt has a solid inch on him. These rumors of Matt being 6'6 plus need to stop lol
@@0oDUBLINo0Is Devon 6’6
@@StrongerThanBigfoot Matt has said himself that he is 6’5 1/2 barefoot, putting him around 6’7 in shoes. And Matt is 110% taller than Devon. Putting Devon around 6’4-6’5 barefoot. Their WAL stats had them both 6’5.
Brian's leg is big
Brian has years of functionally applying his strength. He’s shown me in this one video the ability to understand the concepts. If he travels down this path he will be contending with the top guys in 2years(probably not Levan but everyone else is realistic) because of the enormous genetic advantages he possesses.
It will be extremely interesting to see!
Such a treat of a video seeing two studs together
Can only agree with you!
Devon is 6'4 range.. possibly 6'4" even. Shaw looks 6'7. Matt mask is about an inch taller than devon
6'8**
Matt mask is very tall, I am confident that he is 6'8
6' 7 1/4 on celebheights. I find that site pretty reliable. Just assume everyone rounds their heights up or counts shoe height.
@@keanumcgill low 6'5" range for matt mask imo.
Give him a few years of practice to learn the techniques.
It will take years for sure.
keep it up man!
Thanks man!
Why such complete click-bait title man..?? Devon vs. Brian Shaw..?? Is that what happened
It did
@@hondacbr600 how
It did happen? There is 7 minutes of video soon as you open it.
Keanu, you made a very important observation when you said, “…if he falls in love with the sport.” This is where I find the problem with Brian becoming a world class arm wrestler. Being a huge fan of Brian’s, and having followed him for over a decade, I just cannot reconcile the intricacies of arm wrestling with the nature of Brian Shaw. What I mean is that the activity of arm wrestling is basically (not simply, of course) standing over a table and locking up with your opponent.
Brian excelled in Strongman because he was great over multiple disciplines. Whether it was the deadlift to dumbbell overheads or the bag toss, Brian was outstanding. I am afraid that he will never find the true passion of arm wrestling especially after his first few matches. The chaos involved in the start of a match, as two titans fight for optimal wrist position, will frustrate Brian. If he feels that he is losing matches due to the ‘tricks’ that veteran arm wrestlers are so good at, and is not based solely on who is stronger, he will depart the sport. Brian Shaw HATES to lose at anything. He accepts the rare defeats in his career because Strongmen compete on a level playing field. If he loses his early matches for reasons beyond pure strength and technique he will retire. Brian will not accept defeats that he feels were unfair, or, because he felt his opponent had “cheated”. He will not wait years to perfect the tricks of the trade of arm wrestler.
I kind of disagree, like you said he hates to lose. And reality is he’s gonna lose a lot at this. So I think if anything it will piss him off that he loses to people smaller than him. At least I hope he thinks this way. I believe Brian also respects people and their time, and he wouldn’t take Devon’s time without giving it a real effort. Same with mma, Brian put in effort, but it ended up not happening because the promotion screwed him over.
That is why he is not going to face people that are beyond him in the first few matches like Larry did. Brian will take it slow because he is smart. And also, Devon failed to demonstrate the low hand top roll on Brian at first because he was too strong. He had to tell levan to relax so he could demonstrate it. Armwrestling is much more strength oriented than you think. That is why Leonidas managed to beat Schoolboy even tho Schoolboy is a much better armwrestler than Leonidas. Sure, Schoolboy got gassed out and that is why he lost, but that is because Leonidas was strong enough to make him gas out. Larry lost to Khaled in one of their matches even tho he has trained armwrestling more than Khaled. But Khaled was stronger than Larry in the hand and wrist (if i remember correctly), so he lost. The same thing happened with Devon against Genadi. Devon is known for his endurance but he gassed out against Genadi because he challenged Genadi in his strongest lane. Devon is technically a better armwrestler than Genadi, but they are both very good. So it does not matter if you are technically a better armwrestler if your opponent is strong enough to hold you. Brian was tense enough in the hand and wrist for Devon to struggle to demonstrate the move, and something like that should not happen between a pro and a newbie on the armwrestling table. Normally, Devon should not have that kind of trouble in practise against a beginner. His "tricks" should have been enough there since he should technically be stronger than Brian in the hand and wrist. Brian is in love with the sport and i think that he will pick up on the setup and getting the referee on your side. Brian hates losing, sure... But who doesn't? Brian does not let a loss get in his way. He learns from it and comes back better and stronger. I think that you are underestimating him and his mentality.
I can see where your coming from but I think the biggest difference in this sport vs many others (Its very controversial) is how humbling it can be. You are essentially humbled daily knowing you will get beat. This is what drives us all to be much better. Saying that, I think time will tell, we seem to have a timeline of maybe a year to really gauge how he will do. It takes a lot for someone to completely change sports and lifestyles so time will tell like we've seen in the past.
I do agree, it's too humbling and it drives us to be better and more competitive.
Shaw is 42. He has no chance of beating anyone.
Brznek peaked between his Late 30s until his Late 40s….
Shaw has way more stamina than levan. And levan isnt that much bigger(biceps)
And also levan is 35
True, my grandma beat him easily. He has no chance of beating ANYONE!
Facts
cut ur hair dude, jesus...
Ill keep it in mind!
