It was obvious that an average guy who is multiple times weaker than them could no way lift that log. This is quite dangerous you could injure yourself easily to lift heavy without being used to it.
Best part is, as far as I know that's how the story actually goes, walked 3 steps and then his back broke, there is a video of thor bjornsson breaking the record with 5 steps from a few years ago as well
@Pappy Tron you could take as much "gear" as them and still be no where near there level of strength it takes incredible genetics and work ethic to be on there level
Jay R Huge guys are actually always needed in acting. Think of all the famous WWE guys that are huge that act? You don’t need CGI or costumes if you’re naturally giant. Thor literally was The Mountain in game of thrones.
Competition, Eddie, Shawn, Nick and Pretty don't fancy Thor so much mybee because this big boys are sensitive and full of emotions. And like to compet 😁
That rig is awful, all 4 men are several inches different in height, no wonder Brian(the tallest) was the only one who looked to be able to lift it without sliding it. Everyone else would have had to stretch on their tip toes and that's completely unreasonable no matter how strong you are.
The rig was too tall when hafthor made the record as well, he was practically sliding it. They should make this a regular wsm event with an adjustable rig.
Oby and Brian are only 1" apart, Nick and Eddie are only 1" apart, but the two pairs are about 5.5" apart. Any rig that doesn't adjust isn't going to work for everyone.
Who designed this? As some other people already mentioned, the rack is too high. Also, with something that can easily roll like a log, the way they have the rope looped around it is causing the guys to roll it forward into them making balancing and controlling it much harder. The handles are also too long, creating a longer moment arm for balancing as well. The rope should have been anchored around the log with the handles pinned at their base and coming off it at a perpendicular angle, as well as being shorter so the hands are closer to a front rack position.
Also there should be a stopper on the end. The way it is now if that log decides to roll forward at the end it will cut the man carrying it in half as it falls from the rack. But it did not happen so maybe i am just overthinking this.
5:33 Eddie: "We're not here to beat facts, we're here to beat myths and legends." Does that mean they will try to backlift 6270lbs(2,844 kg)? I'd love to see them try that.
They go by the worlds strongest man competition which is rarely the same person all the time people get old or injured during brain shaw is I believe only person to win several in a row and tied for the most won ever and would've broke record if didn't get seriously injured during on this years strongest man. Each these guys here either won strong or have an all time record in a certain lift giving them the strongest man title
You got to give it up t Nick Best, guy was 50 years old, hanging with those 3 monsters and doing the job. What a legend. He's crazy, tho, but still a legend.
You gotta be a little worried when Eddie looks at you and says "let's get that log out and see what we can do" great shows thow guys, can't wait to see it all
Disclaimer at the beginning. If you're not one of the strongest men in the world do not try this. Right Got it......video shows them getting average man to try it out. Confused wtf face.
@@anyexpat what if we all are the strongest men in the world but the strongest man in the world doesn't want to be invalidated so he puts the warning to scare us
Mister008Gaming He did not. Big Z is the greatest strongman that ever lived. Eddie Hall is the strongest man that ever lived. Louis was a circus performer with many fake lifts and props. Paul was incredibly strong but also had many inflated and exaggerated lifts. Even in this show they estimated his “1,100” pound squat was actually about 700 pounds.
Hafthor Bjornson already broke the legend a few years ago. He liftes the mast and took 5 steps with it. The Vinking story was three steps and the guy dies afterward. While Nick did lift the log he took zero steps.
Unfortunately, Thor did that at a private event where no other strongmen were invited to. While it holds as a record, it wasn't quite fair to just decree him the strongest when on one had a chance to challenge it.
Them having to stabilize with the ropes is actually pulling down on the log, so they are actually adding more weight to the log equal to the force they are exerting down on those ropes.
Love the show. I like how Nick's portaited as like a father figure to these guys but at the same time he represents how strongmen are after their prime.
Average Guy: No way, no way, I literally felt a pop
Brian: Awesome.

@Your friendly Neighborhood Dealer You better be taking steroids then.
Remember when the history channel showed great history programming? Pepperidge Farms remembers
😂😂😂 awesome is Brian's favourite word.. think he even says it when he loses the WSM competition lol.
@@dleigh9997 No, its "you know". He say it at least twice every sentence.
Cried laughing at Eddie.. “so 50 people put it on his back. He took 5 steps and it folded him in half”
Eddie and Brian is a perfect combination, Brian being the big sweet well spoken giant, and Eddie being loud, swearing sarcastic joker, phenomenal
Eddie encapsulates British humour.
Go to brains youtube channel his last video where they go to golds gym had me in tears
Best part is, as far as I know that's how the story actually goes, walked 3 steps and then his back broke, there is a video of thor bjornsson breaking the record with 5 steps from a few years ago as well

The rack was too tall.
agreed
Yup. About 8 to 10 inches too tall.
You're right, even Brian couldn't properly position it on the shoulders. Nick had to carry the bloody thing on his neck.
And thats dangerous.
Joseph Summers for Eddie aye 😂😂😂
This was probably so hard for Eddie not to swear lmao
This is ALL the usable footage they got that day.
@@carlsaischa lol facts
Even harder because he is short
There's a ton of beeping in the actual show, weird how they didnt have any in the clip.
@@Nissehult23 woah are you saying these blokes are robots?
Brian Shaw is the only one who is tall enough to properly lift the log, Eddie and Oberst just dragged it lol 😂
Yeah they should have made the supports a bit lower
they changed the height of the rig for each person
@Alfredo Barragan 502 he is injured.
Nicholas Major how is he an idiot?
@Alfredo Barragan 502 yeah where is that guy
“It eventually killed him ... it would be pretty cool to replicate” xD
Yeah
Something about calling Eddie Hall ´Edward´ really cracked me up
Brian does it all the time.
Eddie would make a great actor
Elmo de la Muerte he’s already going to
they're all too big. it would be hard shooting scenes because normal actors wouldn't fit in the same frame.

Nobody:
Foockin viking: I’m gonna lift that thing. *dies trying*
Strongmen: lets lift that thing.
The vikings lifted it what u talkin about. And hafthor did it way before these guys.
Also no such thing as neanderthals.
"Viking" is actually the act of Scandinavians ransacking, pillaging, and claiming other lands.
Gundor Stoneskin its literally a sub species of humans, look it up
@Southern Fun was gonna write the exact same thing. Thank you for being one of the only reasonable people here

" 'warm up' by lifting 900 lbs."
I actually sleep under a 900lb log so I can "warm up" right away each morning.
Mike easton, lol wtf.

I'm so happy these four have their own TV show. I hope it gets a 2nd season.
odd there was no mention of Hafþór (the Moutain) Björnsson doing this in Iceland. breaking the ancient record
well outside world does not exist for americans, what do you expect? I was thinking about thors record too but yeah not a single mention

About 900lbs apparently lol
Thing: *weighs 46000lbs*
Captions: "THAT'S ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF 45996 BASEBALLS!"
They do that on WSM "this is the equivalent of lifting 2.5 Highland cows" wow thanks for that, wouldn't have been able to imagine the weight otherwise

They did change the height
Ik i wish they would've made the stand a bit lower so they could actually pick it up good
@@nicholasdimedio302 It didn't look like it to me, but then i haven't seen the full show on History channel. Fair play if they did.

I like it when they bring on the average man, it gives us great perspective.
I initially watched one video from this series and now I’ve gotten like 5 recommended and watched them all
Teacher: can I get four strong boys to help move these desks?
The four strong boys now:
"I felt a pop"
Brian: "Awesome"
I live in Moorhead I'm very surprised to see that some tv station other than the local news came here 😂😂
I wish I would of known these guy were in MN. We don't get much for excitement.
Lol saw them going to filming on Brian Shaws channel new they were here just didnt know which town. They actually used some local gyms too while here.
@@avengednightmare that's cool I wish I could have been there while they were filming
"We're not here to beat facts, we're here to beat myths" is an amazing qoute.
"He died from lifting it so were gonna try and replicate it"
Eddie is a beast! He and Brian should have their own show. They crack me up.
Half of Brian Shaw's UA-cam channel is exactly what you describe.
Hafthor Bjornson lifted a 1400 pound log and walked 5 steps.
He got that Viking DNA inside him that’s why he’s so strong
1433 lb (650 kg).
Nick and Brian were the only ones to actually LIFT the first log, so honestly that's a better feat
Who designed this? As some other people already mentioned, the rack is too high. Also, with something that can easily roll like a log, the way they have the rope looped around it is causing the guys to roll it forward into them making balancing and controlling it much harder. The handles are also too long, creating a longer moment arm for balancing as well.

All very good points.
Also there should be a stopper on the end. The way it is now if that log decides to roll forward at the end it will cut the man carrying it in half as it falls from the rack. But it did not happen so maybe i am just overthinking this.
"So dont snap my collarbone snap my neck"
"Right"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i like. i wanna watch the series but dont have history channel in my country
canek75 where
do you have the internet?
@@geist453 no
You can watch it on Amazon Video, even if you are not Prime member just download the app it costs $1.50 the whole season
Buy the rights on a streaming service like xbox or apple
Which eventually killed him.
Nick: I wanna try this
I like all these guys they are hilarious but Eddie is my favorite and Brian is a very close second.
5:33 Eddie: "We're not here to beat facts, we're here to beat myths and legends." Does that mean they will try to backlift 6270lbs(2,844 kg)? I'd love to see them try that.
@Gore4ever FulciLives Well, Eddie did say they were there to beat myths/legends.
@Gore4ever FulciLives True... but since the wsm for 2019 is over he could try it now. But I feel sceptical about backlifting 6270 lbs...
2:04 lmao when the normal man is amongst the beasts
Eddie criticizing people for sliding when he slid the most is television gold.
2:26 i think brian would have said "awesome" even if he said i broke my bone. xD
Where’s the 1471lb Mast lift video? Also insane achievement by Hafthór for doing the 1410lbs (640kg) five steps log lift!
Average man: i literally felt a pop in my shoulder
Brian: awesome!
Seems like every week There's a strongest man in history and is never the same guy
They go by the worlds strongest man competition which is rarely the same person all the time people get old or injured during brain shaw is I believe only person to win several in a row and tied for the most won ever and would've broke record if didn't get seriously injured during on this years strongest man. Each these guys here either won strong or have an all time record in a certain lift giving them the strongest man title
E: three and a half seconds!
B: without lifting it, at all.
The history channel just got so much better with these new shows! 👍
This is why every competition sport needs an average person for comparison
I am loving this show
Yo im so hyped for this show
"....We are here to beat Myth's!" These men are all Legends!
I came here to see how fast eddie hall can lift and move that log. And it was totally amazing
He dragged it... never lifted it.
1:19
*eddie lifts log
“That’d break my back “
😂😂😂
When is being aired in the UK? Can't find it anywhere in the History channel! 😓
Probably licensing and branding around Eddie being last year's worlds strongest man.
It's coming out in the UK around Christmas. Massively frustrating. Enjoy this 6 minutes!
Awesome cheers. I keep seeing snippets and I don't want to spoil it for myself by watching them
The things could roll over and snap their necks... These dudes are fearless.
I love that they have an "average man" for reference lmao
2:25 The way Nick says 'Yeah' like hes been there before so many times lol
2:22 look at ALL four of the strongmen smiling. LOL You can tell they are amused at his attempt.
Brian = worlds strongest man and nicest man
I love that you guys have an average man! It just makes whatever you guys do more impressive.
Imagine,one day that average man beat all of them
You got to give it up t Nick Best, guy was 50 years old, hanging with those 3 monsters and doing the job. What a legend. He's crazy, tho, but still a legend.
The last guy actually lifted it and carried it further. I think he should have won.
This show needs another season
These guys are huge this is what people want to see super heavy weights
You gotta be a little worried when Eddie looks at you and says "let's get that log out and see what we can do" great shows thow guys, can't wait to see it all
Didn't Hafthór beat the same challenge a couple of years ago?
Yes, he did, he took 5 steps with it.
Thor matched the record weight at 1,433 lbs. and carried it for 5 steps. These guys are upping the weight to 1450 lbs, probably to edge out Thor.
@Joe Kill He took seven steps, then yelled defiantly while flexing his abs.
Eddie , Brian , Oberst 😍
Disclaimer at the beginning. If you're not one of the strongest men in the world do not try this. Right Got it......video shows them getting average man to try it out. Confused wtf face.
As it said, he was amongst the strongest men in the world though 🤔
if you dont have the technique you will definitely rip your back.
That is in fact no average man. The camera man just appears to be average. Really he's hiding his true power
Oberst ..."i'm not going to go that route, i'm gonna pick it up & carry it" Drags the log all the way twice Eddies time.
This looks like several herniated discs waiting to happen
Haven’t watched the history channel once since they didn’t bring this back
Didn’t Hafthor The Mountain already break this record...like in 2015/2016?
Good to see strongman getting more recognition.
So we're not even going to mention who eventually broke the 1000 year record?
This is probably the best series I've seen in a long time

For me Eddie Hall is the strongest man who ever lived.
TheChainsawboy No doubt. 2017 Eddie was a force to be reckoned with. I’m excited to see what Hafthor’s future holds though
TheChainsawboy Did you forget about Louis, Paul, Bill, and Žydrūnas?

Paul was incredibly strong but also had many inflated and exaggerated lifts. Even in this show they estimated his “1,100” pound squat was actually about 700 pounds.
Strong men need this exposure. And you fans need to share this show as well.
Does no one remember hafthor doing this log lift and walked with it about 5 years ago?
Also beating the record...
I remember that. Idky they are ignoring hafthor in this series...
He did beat the record yes, but Brian also beat the record a while back... not with a log but in competition.

Where did these guys come from?
Nick and Brian were the only ones who actually lifted and carried the log. The other two just slid it.
I'm impressed the opening message didn't say "unless you are amongst the strongest men and women, do not try"
I've watched these videos more than once. I need another season after Corona 💯

Them having to stabilize with the ropes is actually pulling down on the log, so they are actually adding more weight to the log equal to the force they are exerting down on those ropes.
The frame should have been a couple of inches lower and a solid padded behind neck over shoulder frame under the log.
