Is he 6ft 8"?
@@Metso-ateco Yes he is.
Glad you getting into arm wrestling would like to see you v matt mask on a collab he lives in your neck of the woods a great guy
@@Metso-ateco yes he is, or at least that's what derek says he is.
@@Metso-ateco yes
It was my pleasure hanging with ya and showing you what I know! You have crazy potential for Arm Wrestling!
Armwrestling is right on the brink of breaking out into something huge , Brian Shaw could be the catalyst and leader of that . There is a ton of money potential in this if done correct.
You and Brian fit together so perfectly. Great job teaching.
Love your whole approach to arm wrestling and how much passion and enthusiasm you have for the sport! Really good at teaching the concepts too!
💪🥞🇨🇦🇨🇦
You could be Brian’s personal coach and support on the road
A non-strongman making Brian look normal size is a rare sight
you might not say that if they weren't wearing those loose tshirts
@Purev Rompat idk brians forearm looks as big as that guys bicep lol
@@udielots its amazing dereks a monster and has 21 inch arms but next to brian he looks skinny
I wouldn't say normal size. Normal height yes, but Brian is way thicker from the side and front. LoL
What? Brian looks huge compared to him lol!
Brian's desire to learn and his ability to comprehend everything Derek is saying is exactly why Brian is one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Amen brother
Brian picks up on things quickly, and notices the small details, looks like he wants to learn💪💪 He already looks dedicated lol
Yeah, so humble despite achieving so much. Then you get countless nobodies too proud to learn because they know better already or they want to dive in and show how powerful they are.
Well said! 100% agreed🤝
Well... that and he's a genetic freak
Watching two huge men holding hands for 40 minutes was very wholesome 10/10
Haha true
Wow, Brian training arm wrestling is an exciting prospect.
I hope he keeps at it. You can be pretty amazing at arm wrestling even later in life.
Absolutely. The strongman sport usually has a late peak in athletes, and as long as you're healthy, you can basically peak whenever in arm wrestling.
John Brzenk, man, over 40 years in the sport, back at it again...
It’s a strength sport with no cap on longevity. You can compete forever! Hope he stays with it.
Brian is asking all the right questions. He’s a very intelligent guy naturally and knows how the body works. I think he’s gonna catch on very quick if he dedicates to it.
After watching Larry's journey from day 1, it's obvious Brian learns much faster.
@@SammySprinklers69 Yeah, and Larry has made massive progress so far, Brian getting better is quite a scary thought👀👀
@@SammySprinklers69 Larry doesn't use his brain
Brian comes off as quite intelligent the way he articulates his words and speaks slowly putting thought in each of his words. I mean it in the least disrespectful way but when you see him the first time, you'd think of him as the opposite.
Not really, when Dustin Porier tried to explain to him how to throw a punch he failed miserably. Its more accurate to say there are things he's good at and things he isn't good at, like everyone.
Derek is one heckuva a communicator/teacher. I learned more in 20 minutes watching this than i have any MANY, MANY other videos. This video should be watched by all people wanting to learn more about arm wrestling. He is explained things so well
Same. I never knew so much power can come from the leverage of your back as opposed to your arms before he explained the difference in the muscle groups.
He also runs a seminer in puller public discord server
Brian going to arm wrestling is insane! He’s going to shock everyone keep it up sir!
HOLY MONKEY B ALLS SOMEBODY UPVOTE THIS GUY
Or not
not really, he start too late
@@monolithe00 ignorant. Tim Bresnan and Todd Hutchings both started very late in life and have both become legends of the sport. Brian will be a force within the sport in a couple of years if he truly commits and takes it seriously
@@monolithe00 I mean Juji started Arm Wrestling with Devon Larratt at age 35/36 so Brian's not to far off his age. Plus I would imagine it would be easier to use things you learned in Strongman to your advantage. Brian is in crazy good shape for his age and size, despite the fact that at 400lbs he's not FAT he's just built really big. I mean can you imagine the amount of power just Big Shaw's arms have from what 2 decades of doing strongman events a lot of which requiring some form of arm strength. As Derek said, it would be hard for Brian to break his arm, and in order for Brian to break his own arm he would have to do some extreme movements not meant for the human body. I'd say his arm size might be a big of a disadvantage but look at guys like Devon Larratt and Jeff Dabe who both have MASSIVE arms.
Brian has unlimited potential for arm wrestling tbh, a good learner aswell nice
yes, if he dedicates himself fully to armwrestling, in 3-4 years he might be top 50 in the world
@@miketrackstar2896 top 10 in 2-4years imho
His arms size is huge and grip strength crazy. I have been hoping for him to get into arm wrestling!!!
@@mtzyzy not even close😅
@@mtzyzy Dave Chaffee took him only 2-3 years to become WAL champion, I would not be surprised if Brian is the same or even lesser than Dave
When Derek grabs ahold of Brian and is like “whoa I can just feel the power/muscle mass” that is a terrifying feeling if you’ve ever felt it.
Even people his size or close to it who don't train are shockingly strong. They can shake average sized men out of their shoes.
What’s the time stamp he says that?
@@VecessTV 18:36
@@bruceleroy8063 me and my mates have a wrestle now and again though it's always their idea and it is funny , they know they are safe but just like the idea of what it's like to fight someone a fair bit bigger than them 🙂
This guy's personality and demeanor fit so perfectly with Brian's along with just generally good charisma. What a great colab, and I don't even like arm wrestling.
Give armwrestling a try you might enjoy it
@@andrewp.9541 My arm/body can't handle this type of thing at all. Part of why I don't like watching it is I know how much it would hurt me. But I have come to appreciate the sport a little more and would definitely follow Brian Shaw's arm wrestling should he pursue it. I'm also kind of germ-phobic and all of the touching and breathing in each other's face kind of weirds me out.
BRIAN, PLEASE START ARMWRESTLING, WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
Derek is a humble amazing person.
Good friend of mine and has tought me so much about the sport!
Amazing calab and perfect for the sport 👌
Brian is so technical and cerebral, especially for a physical freak of nature lol. Even in strongman hes methodical and super sound fundamentally and technically. If he focuses on arm wrestling he'll be a ridiculous puller.
Yeah, picks up on the little things quickly, he'll be a clever Armwrestler I think, and way way WAY too strong
Brian have a pretty short forearm too. I would really love to see him armwrestling with these advantages
@@youwantmyname9208 Levan probably sweats anytime he sees someone bigger than him toy with the prospect of getting into armwrestling 😂 He needs more stiff competition anyways
İ quit pulling almost 20 years ago with so much experience and some titles ! All l can tell you is that , you are definitely right ! İf brain focus on this sport he can make a great arm wrestler and he would even have a change to be the world champion ! İf l had a change to train him, i would make him top heavyweight in the world in 2 between 3 years !
1:06 “Next time you see Eddie, you just dust him.” 🤣
Derek Smith is really great guy overall. Humble and have good vibe.
I am so stoked your training we need you to beat Levan
nope hope for that, he start too late this sport.
@@monolithe00 lol
Amazing how much technique is involved here.
It is like a carefully orchestrated game of chess. Ive been into arm wrestling properly for a year now, and it is the most addicting feeling in the world.
@@mallhi5557 How's the pain though?
@@L4veyan completely acclimatised to it. In the start it was so severe that my tendons were in incredible pain all the time. Any load on them would hurt and it got in the way of my weight training. I could not bench without my tendons failing on me for a few weeks.
It was much later that I learnt about the importance of arm wrestling rehab along with how to actually practice properly on the table that it started to go away.
My arm wrestling practice usually goes up to an hour now on the table with no pain and I can easily get like 4 to 5 days of solid table time with no pain.
Like all things, you have to get used to it. For alot of people, they leave it cuz they can't bare the pain. But for me armwrestling is the most euphoric feeling in the world. I absolutely am in love with the sport and the incredible range of technicality that's involved in it. The pain was worth it haha
@@mallhi5557 I see, thanks for the info!
Yea, it's similar to a lot of sports, there's a whole world of knowledge under the surface.
Hearing Brian mention Magnus Samuelsson really means a lot to me. Two of my biggest inspirations
Arm Wrestling has been getting popular lately especially with Larry Wheels hyping it up. Schoolboy, Devon Larratt, Michael Todd, love watching them.
Engin
Levan been taking armwrestling world by storm too
nah michael todd ain't doing that😂
A 40+ minute Brian Shaw vid? Talk about a Friday gift.
I know right💯
Brian it only gets more fun the more you learn. I would really love to see you in the sport
The first 3 things i tell newbies is in order:
1. Stance
2. How to lose by opening their arm (so they dont use sidepressure in first practice) and pin using your body
3. Tell them to use wrist flexion & pronation
Always let them pin you in the beginning so they dont try to go other lanes like press
After that go into Techniques (First Toproll then Hook) and the setup for each
Whats wrong with the press
@@stevend481 not optimal
💪💪💪💥💥💥 WELCOME TO THE SPORT CHAMP!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 I have no doubt you will crush the competition in no time. Keep up the great progress, can't wait to see more!
Amen brother. Amen
Absolutely agree!! He's got pretty big Forearms too👀
A 42 min Shaw strength video! Wow we’re lucky
Brian, you should collaborate with Devon Larratt. You'll learn so much about Arm Wrestling from him!
No he needs to train with John and just get table time or Alex which is another man his size like Derek, I also think Travis would be a good coach for him also
@@jessehensley1812 Nah I'm correct
@@miguelbascon1206 nah ur not
@@jessehensley1812 Devon >>>>> Travis
yea im ngl devon would prolly be the best trainer for brian.
Never thought arm wrestling was so technical. This guy is a beast! Makes Brian look average! Two humble athletes at the top of their sports, got to love it!
Derek is a great dude and a real rising star in armwrestling! Excited to see you guys collab!!
This is it! The content we've been waiting for! Brian Shaw armwrestling! Finally!
Yes sir 🔥
So encouraged by this Brian!! Love Derek & Armwrestling! Hoping you can get into the sport more.
Brian shaw joining the armwrestling community is FRIGGIN AMAZING im so glad this collab is happening!!
Love it! And very excited to see you dabbling in it and hope you turn this into the 2nd chapter of your career.
I WAS EXTREMELY EXCITED FOR THIS COLAB. I've been following you for a while Brian through your journey in wsm since 2018, I always admired your analytical mind and attention to detail and your awesome attitude to strength training and sports and professionalism and everything in between. Ever since I heard of this colab and even heard of talks of you armwrestling i've been waiting for this day and I'm really glad Derek of all people was able to expose you to armwrestling man. Hope you love it and hope you stick around brother!
I know it's a long way off...but wouldn't it be awesome to watch Brian go up against Dave Chafee? Its like a mirror match.
@@wotevazyo11 Yo if that happens I'm buying that pay-per-view the chance i get. That would be an incredible match to watch.
@@HuzPro a bit missmatch but entertaining i think...
@@wotevazyo11 one is 6’8 425 pounds and the other is 6’’1 285 pounds . Doesn’t seem like a mirror match also Brian’s arms are the size of Dave’s head
Been following Brian and armwrestling for close to 5 years now. I'm so excited to see what Brian can accomplish. Thank you Derek.
i'll be coming back to this and devon's gym videos for years. so much concise knowledge and experience here
I've been a fan of Brian Shaw and been into arm wrestling for a long time and to finally see the two come together is the best thing ever! Couldn't wait for this and cant wait to see more! I hope you stick with this Brian, would be awesome to follow your journey into arm wrestling.
This is so awesome!!! Brian is super strong and Derek is a great teacher 💯🙌🙌
Such a huge difference between Brian's questions and interaction with Derek, and Larry Wheels bored nodding when he had the best talent trying to teach him their ways! As a strongman rather than a glorified gymrat, Brian is focusing on the "movement", he wants to move like Derek does, rather than muscle his way out. he isn't in a hurry to showcase his strength. Usually when you get a "gym strong" heavier guy into a dojo, he keeps trying to muscle his way out of positions rather than learn to move correctly.
Awesome! So glad to see you getting into armwrestling. Derek is the perfect person for you to team up with. Excellent choice!
What a great video!! Thanks both of You!!
Please show Derek some love y’all! Shoot him a follow. Hes hella strong and seasoned AW. He’s gone through a rough patch in the AW world. He deserves all the love
Hell yeah. Armwrestling has been waiting for this for a long time 💪🏼
Loved this. Good job Derek you are a wonderful teacher. Do it Brian!
I love this video. Brian is such a cool and humble guy. And Derek is an amazing teacher. I probably learned more about arm wrestling from this one video than I have watching hundreds of videos in the past.
42 mins of awesomeness 😁🤣💪🙌😎 can't wait to see this great video, of two great guy's!!!!
OMG I love this. The fact that Brian is excited about Arm Wrestling is awesome.
Derek did such a great job trainnng Brian. So cool!!
This is one of the best and clearest explanations of armwrestling technique!
Derek is such a great teacher and Brian makes a very humble and fast learning student. LOVE IT
AW is the future tbh. There is no other strength sport that people can be competitive at 50 years+ of age
Nick Best, Mark Felix, Odd Hagen, literally just off the top of my head, would like to have a word with you boy...
two of the nicest and biggest guys in their respective sports!
Brian please get into armwrestling!!
Awesome to see any type of crossover between strength sports! It would be interesting to see a guy like Brian try some different sports like Olympic lifting or even the Highland games just to see how they would go for fun!
You guys are great working together. Awesome coaching Derek! Brian is a quick learner.
Amazing video! Derek is awesome, great communicator. Brian, please get in to armwrestling!!!
Starting arm wrestling 2 years ago…this One of the best explanations/tutorials of how to arm wrestle Ive ever seen..there is soooo much more to it than people realize… awesome job Derek/Brian!! 👊🏼 👊🏼 👊🏼 hope Brian sticks with it!!!
Good job, guys. Been waiting for so long to have some of the strongman guys blend in more to this sport.
And who better than Big B to bring exposure to the sport of arm wrestling for strongman fans, and to the sport of strongman for arm wrestling fans!
This was a great idea, Derek, well done.
Derek is awesome. It was very informative to really listen to all the different techniques in arm wrestling. He is a great teacher and I can see that Brian followed it very well. Thanks to you two for this video.
Extremely informative video. I loved it. I haven't learned that much from any other one arm wrestling video.
Derek seems like a great guy!
That's lots of technique and general strategy behind something as crude as arm wrestling, I've certainly started thinking about this sport a whole lot differently. Love Shaw... always the student of physical excellence.
Armwrestling is extremely technical. Derek is only touching on the tip of the iceberg here.
@@ChocolateJesii yeah so much is quite apparent. Seems specific joints and muscle groups are targeted.
It should be called arm jujitsu, can take many years to master all the moves and techniques.
@@fixed970 maybe one with a super atomic tidalwave earthquake smash secret move? But on a serious note, I think physiological understanding of the human arm will probably enhance your chances of winning.
Derek is such a good teacher, he explains fundamentals and easy to learn so well. Amazing video, looking forward for next one
My boy Derek, so happy to see you both together. Also been watching Brian for many years.
YES, been looking forward to this since the BTS snippets on Derek's channel!!
Brian in armwrestling would be a dream come true!💪
Love the collab! Derek is a great guy!
Man, this is special. Amazing stuff both Brian and Derek. Really hope you stick with it Brian.
Damn! This is awesome! Brian will be a monster, big ups to Derek!
Wow. This was interesting. I never knew there was so much to learn in arm wrestling. I really enjoyed this presentation. Thanks guy's.
I like how quickly Brian picks up the techniques, also helps the instructor is really gifted at explaining the concepts. Would love to see Brian compete when he's ready, he'd be an absolute beast!
Love seeing Shaw step into this world and have such a great teacher. Let's Go!!!
Great video, lessons from Derek was easy to watch and learn and good vibes🤙🏾
I like the fact Brian went straight to asking technical questions. I knew he was a thinker, but this was interesting to see the process.
Yes Brian, we need you in armwrestling!!!
This is incredibly exiting for me. One of my favourite athletes since I was a teenager that is now learning the art of my favourite sport.
I'm beyond excited to see you get involved in arm wrestling!!!
Great Stuff Shaw you are doing so good in life with Podcast, Competing, Kids, Family man life is awesome! Keep it up man huge inspiration!
Great job Derek!. Exciting to see Brian trying armwrestling!. We've seen normal strength is not everything in armwrestling watching Larry but.. we all know Brian is highly motivated and discipline in everything he want to achieve. Very exciting!!!
Brian in armwrestling would be a natural!! Awesome collab, have Derek back! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
MAKE THIS A SERIES! GREAT STUFF!
Great video. Hope to see Derek more often on the channel :D
One of the best vids to ptoperly understand strats vs strength gj both, awesome dudes 💪
I knew this vid was coming, but 42 minutes?!?! Damn what a gift!
This was an extremely fun watch. Derek is the man. Did an amazingly clear job of explaining the process.
Great instructional video Derek! Really well presented! Good Luck Brian. I hope you get “hooked” on arm wrestling.
Haha Derek so nervous, I would be too
42 minutes of Brian Shaw… hell yeah!
sick video honestly !!! two big guys learning from each other ! Brian as the raw strength but Derek as the thecnical aspect !! learned a lot from this video even if im not massive as you guys !!
love it! Brian learning and being vulnerable 👏👏
If Brian gets into Armwrestling, he will be a force to be reckoned with
1: Derek's a great teacher! I really enjoyed this. Derek is a great teacher and he doesn't rush thing and leave you confused and trying to catch up on principles that he only glossed over. He actually gets you to understand it and doesn't interrupt your questions so you have time to think and work out what's bothering you.
2:Brian is gonna be amazing at this! I like Larry wheels but he's really impatient and can't wait to just use all his power on everything without taking the time to break it down and understand the details. I feel like Brian has a mind that will figure out every part of this thing and because of that his progress is gonna be so fast. Because he already has the strength, that's not something that's gonna be holding him back much, but because he has a sharp and deductive mind, he's not 'muscling' as much as others would. He's figuring it out and giving himself time and that's so much fun to see. He'll be crushing people really soon!
Damn dude. Love it. Really like Derek and dude training my favorite Strongman. Looking forward to seeing some matches of you Shaw. Keep these videos coming
You 2 have great chemistry together! You should definitely do more of these collaborations. 👍👍👍
This deserves a like before i even watch it because i can't wait to see you get into armwrestling, and i saw some from Derek's channel
🔥💪👏
Derek break it down so well. You can tell he has spent the hours trying to work it out for himself 👏
I been watching Brian since your first strongman (I think you were 19) and I always enjoyed how humble he is. It’s not surprising that he/you have climbed to the top of your field time and time again. Seeing Brian learn something new like this he asks questions and takes to student roll to learn and sets such a great example of what a real champ is for all the kids to look up to. Great job Brian your a champ for so much more then just being the worlds strongest man.
I think this really shows how good of a student Brian is. He soaked up this training incredibly fast.
Subscribed for the AW content, you have the genetics and mindset to be awesome at AW.
This is such a great collaboration! Do more!!
Derek explained the basics so well!!
Insane collab!
