is that season premier?
Wow yesterday I asked you guys for more Paul Anderson challenges and then today you upload this 🙌🏽🙏🏽 thank you so much history channel
These videos have a minimum of 100k more views than your others. JS
you got it
HISTORY is this on the Canadian channel or just USA?
eddie strict pressed it and it has been more than a year since he retired from professional strongman. insane.
eddie is the strongest amongst them no doubt
@@ThunderWolfUE He definitely is not stronger than Brian. The number of WSM 1st championship medals Brian has compared to Eddie says it all
@@allenlu9036 Eddie is definitely stronger or as strong in the overhead pressing be it axle or log, but definitely not stronger on squats and deads since he retired. Don't forget that he attempted to break big Z's overhead record.
Either way its amazing, but yea if this was supposed to be strict then it seems only Eddie did it.
In terms of relative strength Eddie is by far the strongest
Eddie "I haven't lifted anything over 300lbs over my head in the last year"
Proceeds to strict press 406lbs with no leg drive
lmao
Well, he did log press with brian not to long ago actually...
You gotta be so humble lol
I was a little nervous for him there when he was saying that.
@@Zlaterrr wait could it of been when they were filming this? he hit 190kg ...
The sounds the plates make getting put on is so satisfying 😂
You know it
Its loud and ear drum popping
Only with new weights.
Ya bro 😂
strongman asmr, make it happen
Anyone who has done shoulder presses before knows how much harder it is to do a strict press versus what Robert and Brian did. Mad props to Eddie.
Absolutely. You can't compare them.
Brian's still stronger 💪
@@johnlibonati7807 to me the lifts are not even related. It's the difference between a real bench press and some contortionist girl pushing a weight an inch off her torso. Leg drive completely changes it.
@@treasurethetime2463 100%
Prime Eddie hall was the strongest man to walk the planet
OB: “ I have the strongest shoulders in America”
Eddie Hall: *entering America*
I thin Bryans lift looked more effortless :)
Henrik Frandsen yes sir. I said it that way because ed holds the record for the axle press (which he did strictly)
@@henrikfrandsen6029 are you actually comparing a strict press to one with momentum? Strict is a million times more impressive.
@@henrikfrandsen6029 it probably was more effortless, since he didn't strict press it like Eddie did.
Nordsmark but Brian used little leg drive and did it almost effortlessly, I think he could have definitely strict pressed it.
It's nice to see a normals sized man next to those giants. Makes you realize how big they are.
Savage Butcher i mean he did say he weighed 155
Especially Eddie and Nick. They look small next to Brian, but they're huge int heir own regards
i would say he was pretty small. Smaller than average for a man.
5,9 to 5,11 is pretty average, since the average height for a male is 5,9.
Well that's because Brian is a giant I think he's like six 8 or something I didn't feel like looking it up but I know he's really tall
2:25: my alarm clock in the morning.
That’s clever
loooooooooool
hahaahahah
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg😅
Looooooool
Oberst - I have the strongest shoulders in America..
Brian - You do know we live in the same country right?..
Justice Warrior I think he forgets
A squished grape wow are you talking about yourself? Good one!
Idiots, oberest has the record for the most weight in America and yes more than shaw.
@@aaronkerr749 he doesn't, ever since 2018 Rob Kearney has the American record in the log lift. It was 214kg until last weekend where he improved on his own record and now it's 216kg. Oberst's best log was 211kg, and that was the American record at the time he did it. Insane lifts either way, though.
uses legs too lmao
Cameraman: *thanks for making me feel like a beta in front of all these girls*
They've done that with every lift. I swear that his job interview was like "Okay... one last question... what's your gym routine? None? Great... you're hired."
70 kg body weight press is no joke even for a gym goer. I have a 100 kg (220lb) bench press, but my overhead varies, and most days I'd be luck to hit 70kg.
to be fair 155lb overhead is no joke lol
just finished my 5kg overhead and it nearly killed me, rofl
Yea, body weight is a huge factor with stabilizing and throwing up those kind of weights over head. I think a 180+ pound gym goer should be able to over head press 155 without too much difficulty, unless he doesn't train shoulders at all for some reason.
That weird moment when you find yourself insta clicking HISTORY channel uploads.
Good job to them. Will be watching when it airs where I live.
YASSSSS.
"Don't try this at home"
Yeah sure. I could press 400 lbs but I won't try it cause of the warning....
It says "Don't TRY this at home" NOT "Don't DO this at home"! There's a difference.
@@DieFlabbergast lol i have an home gym...and whe. I was young i clean/jerk big loads... with my Eleiko
@@DieFlabbergast 400lbs (180kg).in.clean and jerk or Rack jerk is a middle class load..... heavy for Suleimanoglu ...not for Talakhadze
.
@@alanaliyev456GT Clean and jerk is different from strict press, clean and jerk has a ton of leg drive, a strict press has none making it substantially harder
Same
“Average man” has no training and was able to lift his own body weight a good two inches off the stand, props!
These guys still did not do what Paul did. They did not lift it from the floor, then press it.
even easier for them@@roncaruso931
@@roncaruso931because they didn’t have the training to do it. If you gave them the time they would be able to do it no problem.
@lms3942 Paul Anderson was born strong. No was no special equipment. No steriods. No PEDs. No protein supplements. I would like to see these guys do a back lift of 1700 lbs like Paul did. I would like to see them do a C&J of 594 lbs like Lasha did in training.
@@roncaruso931I’m not calling into question Paul’s strength.
the other 3 guys are strong and all but brian is something else man
He's a different animal man
Eddie would have matched him atleast before retirement.
sean harricharan 🤥
@@seanharricharan9191 before the 500kg deadlift. That deadlift basically forced him into retirement.
Ramit Insideme that deadlift almost killed him
Eddie did it strict and the other guys did a push press. Obviously push pressing that weight is impressive but the strict press was what really made my jaw drop
These guys still did not do what Paul did. They did not lift it from the floor, then press it.
Give it up for Ian the average man. He knows he won't succeed and look weak in the process. And maybe even get hurt. But he never backs down bc he's a real team player 👍
Ian's are always heroes ✨👍✨
Cool my Grandfather was named Ian too.
Would still have been way more funny if he lifted the demo weight, sayin' "OK, not too heavy, let's try the 402".
very few people who dont train could just walk up and ohp 155 pounds. I'm honestly impressed he could even nudge the bar
Don't try this at home
How am I supposed to replicate this???
you can definitely replicate but by trying to lift 10 pound weight. hehehe
By pressing a riding lawnmower
Press your momma
Press your dinner plate
Buy a barbell and enough plates just for it. :D Right now, everyone wish they had because of Covid, ha ha.
eddie still able to strict press 400lbs+ overhead without real training, its just ridiculous
good technique
@@smierckonfidentom94 Got more to do with his strength rather than technique. Shoulder pressing doesn't involve complex techniques like a deadlift.
can someone explain what a strict press means? sorry
@@pigbenis4399 he moves the bar without any momentum, like robert did. Robert went down with hes knees and pushed up so the lift would become easier.
Jonathan Karlsson thanks I see now. That’s crazy
Eddie used all shoulders there. Total strict press!. Fair play!
no. did not see a strict press
@@sooparticular what exactly did you see then?
Brian said 402 lbs isn’t a lot of weight for me 🐐
Luke Hadley he doesn’t wheigh 402 pounds
@@darrend1068 he weighs 440
Luke Hadley 700 pounds isn’t light
@Luke Hadley it was less than all their body weight
It might not be his body weight but that sure is heavier than all of their shoulders which is the muscle being used here and also the distance these dudes have to lift the weight is ridiculous.
“Brian is one of the strongest guys that’s ever walked this planet” I felt that
Something cool to think about for athletes.
Out of all the places you can be born in the world, the times you can be born, the family you are born with, and everything you do in your life. What are the odds of him ending up doing weight lifting? The thing that sets him apart from billions of other humans.
If you think about it, how many other people where capable of that, but never tried? maybe because they didn't care, or where born in the wrong time and place.
How many people could throw a baseball 106mph, but where born in the wrong time and place? (World record is 105.5mph)
How many people could have been faster than usain bolt, but where born at the wrong time and place?
Its amazing to think there may have been a hundred more brian shaws born in the past, just born at the wrong time and place. And maybe there weren't and brian just hit the jackpot of jackpots, it's cool to think about though.
@@rslwannabe9475 i get your point and it makes sense but i think from height alone a lot of people in history were gimped physically relative to modern people with specialized diets
All four guys every single episode: "we really want to honor the lift he did"
*Lift includes a clean*
All four guys: "Aight, I'mma head out"
Isaac Franks Eddie clean pressed it.
Lift didn't start from the ground...
They are not Olympic lifters though, and to do Olympic lifts safely you need a lot of practice. No one is going to clean 400lbs with no practice and risk injuring a shoulder or elbow for a TV show.
Rover200Power you obviously didn’t watch that garage competition where Thor sloppily muscle cleaner and pressed 430 pounds
@@jmm2270 good for Thor. He wasn't in this video though.
This might be one of the best shows on TV. 4 huge hilarious guys that are great friends, and are also in the most elite class of strong men to ever live.
Paul Anderson strict pressed it at 350 lbs, 5’ 9 1/2”. That just tells you how crazy strong he was
and he did it as a natty
@@rodneydongerfield5378 really ?? He was natty ? If he was that’s great news for me, someone to look up to 😅
Bro this was in the 50s lol he didn’t have dumbbells or Barbells
Without steroids.... That's saying a lot because what if he used them?
about a foot shorter and 100 pounds lighter than Brian...much respect..
and Paul was a Christian man of God.
My favorite part about Eddie is that he never uses his legs to assist. Even though it would probably be safer, it's a true testament to how strong his upper body truly is.
If you look closely, Hall's lift was most impressive. He didn't knee dip and extend through his legs to gain momentum for the crucial start of the lift.
Also called a push press
but on the contest you have to pause for a second right? he pushed it forward and didnt stop at the top
He actually doesn't use his legs to drive because of knee pain
@@Kraeter
V
@@Kraeter which he dosnt have anymore but used to have thus being known to strict press everything
I think Eddie may be The Hulk. Always has to channel anger for lifts then can do superhuman things
Like that deadlift
And the fact that he complimented Brian when they are always nagging each other lol
Lifting weights does that to you 😂 best way to let off anger, hitting a heavy bag and lifting weights in my opinion
4:17 Brian looks like a angry baby
I've never laughed out loud so hard in my life. xD
Spartans2546 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha XD
Adorable
Baby faced beast
1:08 bro if that guy did that to me I would have broken my back just from that lmao
imagine if he just went flying when did that. cartoon style.
Brian could/should have gone for the strict press like eddie.
im actually not 100% sure if brian can strict press that..if so, its probably close to max effort for him
@Nicholas Major A strict press of over 400 is extremely elite, it would have definitely been a struggle for him. Leg drive adds a lot to what you can put overhead. If you can just barely strict press a weight, usually you can push press it with ease.
I was expecting him to do reps
He almost strict pressed it. He barely used his legs
@@MikeBarbarossa But he did use his legs. I think like Eddie he was unsure he had 406lbs strict press in him on that day.
That's not to say that he can't strict press it, but competitions and events don't necessarily come at the point in your training cycle when you're at your strongest. Brian using his legs was him making sure he didn't miss the lift.
"I haven't pressed anything over 300lbs over my head in over a year." 99.9% of people have NEVER lifted anything that heavy over there head.
Country Boy Ogre that much weight would squish me like a bug lol
Been doing them for over a year natty and I can do 130 lbs at most lol
I’d say most people haven’t even lifted 300lb in general. Most people I know can’t deadlift 300
@@thehamburgler3570 300 lbs for a deadlift isn't that hard to achieve if you're a man. I'm yet to get there but I blame leverages.
Moreover I can deadlift close to 400 but you are exactly what I mean. It sounds like you work out and can’t get there. An average male you ask off the street probably can’t do it on the spot
Oberst: "I've got the strongest shoulders in America"
uhm, Brian shaw lives in America
LOLLY POP Yeah, idk why he thinks that lmao
Grape He has the US record for the log lift which is an overhead press.
Collin Ray A You realize that Brian Shaw has broken his record at home multiple times, right?
Grape No I actually didn’t hear about that
It’s weird how Eddie looks short compared to the rest of them but is actually 6’3”
The fact that eddie did 476 overhead strict is so insane I don't even
4:56
Brian "don't mind my fight hand" Shaw
Teacher: “Alright I need someone strong to help carry in some textbooks”
The students reaction: 4:39
2:55 when you finished bringing them in
The fact that Eddie tends not to use leg drive for shoulder press big weight makes it more impressive
I need one of these guys to wake me up in the morning “GET UP!!!”
OB should sell alarm clocks that go on a loop of him saying that with greater intensity each time.
Imagine if Paul Anderson used the gear that they use. Could've probably overhead pressed a Volvo lol
He was on some but not as good as what they have
1:27 that oddly satisfying sound
It kinda sounds like a machine.
ikr
1:18 this man cried himself to sleep. The whole crowd laughed. F
I want these 4 back together and doing crazy stuff. It was by far my favorite thing to watch for a very long time.
Ths Episode was funny and emotional at the same time...They didn't disappointed the family..
Whoever put these 4 Strongmen together for this series is inspirational!
These guys are so good together and so bonded
It was actually nick who brought them together
This is definitely one of the coolest things I’ve seen on the history channel yet! These guys are history in the making! So awesome what they can achieve and what the body is capable of! Brian is so awesome! I met him in person and he is massive! Definitely a time to remember when I met him! He is the nicest guy ever!
Average men have feelings to. 😁
too*
Just a little..
but they don't have strength
@@bighendrix5696 um ok thanks i guess
Bro 155 is not that much
It would be an honor to be the average man on this show
Dude these guys being so big, literally strongest in the world, and the most humble it’s just a great combination, love watching these guys do what they do best.
These guys just keep going around and breaking records. This is the content I’m here for.
Eddie really is a beast. He's retired and his form was by far the best, literally no leg drive.
Paul's record was not strict press, it was a clean and presumably jerk, though he almost certainly did not strict press it after cleaning it. No Olympic athletes strict press. All of their forms were fine, Eddie just chose to strict press.
@@61fsanimal Yeah no hate on the others don't get me wrong! Just very impressive how strict he was. I think if he pushed with his legs it would have looked as effortless as Shaw and Oberst.
@@61fsanimal look up the Paul Anderson video he strict pressed it.
@@61fsanimal No, the 402 was a strict press. His 440 "jerk" was a push press.
As a long time viewer of the history channel (~12 years and counting), this is my new favorite show
1:27 wasn’t expecting this to be so satisfying
“got 155 pounds on the bar, good warmup weight”
This honestly is my favorite thing to watch on youtube at the moment. The guys are great and the challenges they do are very interesting.
This is the best show in the world right now
4:10
Me: Only doing the bar
I love how they acknowledge eachothers strengths and they understand other may be stronger but they still have their own impressive feats.
Paul Anderson lifted it from off the ground though.
Angelo Garcia they don’t do power cleans
thats the easy part though, eddie hall (in this video) deadlifted 500kg or half a ton
@@m1ckyg21 easy part for Eddie
@@robertgammett8718what's that mean exactly? "Power Cleans"
Angelo Garcia look it up you got a google machine
I like the disclaimer before the video saying this replication was performed by professionals....yeah as if I was going to try to press 405 pounds over my frigen head. Thanks for letting me in on me not being strong enough to attempt this.
I would try but the weight wouldn’t move
Shut up
Quit whinin jesus
I love the amount of respect each of the guys have for Brian because they know he's the biggest one and arguably the strongest one but they still have alot of fun together which is just awesome
So glad I discovered this channel.
Brian definitely could’ve done it strict too it’s just a habit to use his legs he talked about it in one of his training videos
EnEyeCeeKay really
but tbh though we all know if eddie was still in his prime
his press is gonna be above brian’s for sure
i think it's a bit of doubt and to prevent failing the lift
His arms are very long, which makes the ohp a harder exercise for him.
As a kid Paul Anderson came to our school and lifted our class up on a table. The whole class .
Finally good content from history channel
Love the way these guys pump themselves up!
I FIND IT HARD JUST GETTING OUT OF BED.
I love this show. Great job, History!
I love that "zipping" sound that the plates make loading onto the bar. It gets me every time
155 lbs OHP for reps is actually pretty good. Most of those bros in your gym cant handle that.
Eddie is the only one who did it strict though
@Bringer of Rain If you can get the weight over your head then you can DEFINITELY stabilize it, he probably just didn't because it wasn't some official competition or anything
@@signs80 you make excuses like Eddie.
@@GreatNewsVideo How is that an excuse? If you watch olympic weightlifting 95% of them can jerk (which is almost the same final positioning) WAY more than they can strict press, and they stabilize fine. In fact Oleksiy Totokhtiy could only strict press ~100kg and clean and jerked 229kg just fine
@Bringer of Rain The others didn't even try. Their efforts wouldn't have counted. And none of them did the clean, so none of them would have counted.
Even tho brian didnt i think he is capable also
and just think MR. PAUL was not on any gear or have any special equipment either he was just straight caveman STRONG
There was juice available and he was most likely using Dbol and Testosterone.
Yea, roids were invented in the 30´s and it is kinda suspicious that Pauls Career really took off after he went to Russia...
Though, he did all sacrifices possible to get up there among the strongest humans ever.
Now, what about Luis Cyr, debatably stronger than Paul and whom died like 20 years before them roids were born.
Mr X I just checked it out and his major records were in 55 and 56, and yeah Russian athletes started using testosterone in 1954... so if he was training with them as you say, he was probably on the sauce
@ROTAR it was available from the late 40s onwards
Great post!
your warmup over head press is my deadlift mate
The 5’9” Paul Anderson cleaned and pressed this weight in 1955. Unbelievable.
yea and Paul had no drugs and cleaned it, these guys I guarantee are on drugs, which help a LOT, Paul was the greatest ever imo, total genetic freak. if he was 30yrs old now with drugs these guys have he would do prob 470+ pounds in this lift
Thought Nick was gonna give it a go
Better safe than sorry
I thought the same. But yeah sadly he is old now 😥
Don't count him out cuz he's old he squatted that 702 coin chess petty good after failing first try
Nick is giving a new meaning to the phrase age is just a #✌✌
@@iamvenom1352 It's absolutely not the same squating than pressing over your head that kind of weight, Nick is no in age to do that anymore sadly.
Love this show, hope it comes back!
I'm addicted to this show!
Eddie with that grin on his face cuz he knows he has the best OHP among them
Now imagine Anderson did this without steroids back in the 50's.
yup why he's considered the strongest man to ever live just pure raw power. Just think what he do in todays age.
Steroids were already rampant in the 50s lmao
SuperNoone89- By the 50s, the Americans had already learned (and started to copy) the Soviet’s drug program
oriondx72 thought that was Louis Cyr
@Vinny Booboo wow you just blew my mind, I had no clue someone could think this far out of the box.
Eddie and brian did it with good form. Kudos.
I love this guys courage and passion.
This is awesome
I really like how much respect these men have for these feats of strength and who originally did it. Its not just some guys going around trying to break these old historic records, they actually care about the original record and give it respect
I find satisfying the grunting and the "GET UP!!!" shouting
What’s amazing is Paul Anderson lifted this more than 50 years ago.
Paul Anderson cleaned the weight THEN strict pressed it.
they said that...
@@ownthispwn Ah, missed that. If you want to see even crazier strength, look up Serge Reddings 502 clean and PRESS in the 1972 olympics. He lost to Vasily Alekseyev but Vasily used his legs a bit but the green lighted the lift.
Brian and Oberst press this much for training regularly, and Eddie at least used to. Pretty sure they all lifted over 200 kg/440 lbs before.
really shows how far humans can go,with legendary records and feats being broken and repeated all the time. It truly shows the amazing capability of the human race.
Can't believe they're not making another series
Now in order to compare yourselves to Paul Anderson, do it again without using steroids for your entire life....
Nobody:
Oberst: *S T R O N G A N D P R E T T Y*
I love their bond even though thet are competing against each other they still cheer for each other
You guys always make me smile 💙
1:27 sounds like from a disco
Still waiting to see any of them pick it up off the ground.
Man these plates clapping when they put them on is sooooooooooo satisfying !
Goes to show difference in strength these man are born for this 💪💪💪
I really like this show.
3:57. When you accidentally catch your sack in your zipper
the biggest guys in the world but also the most humble
their strength is really hard to comprehend
