Brian looks so involved you can feel the heart he puts in the contest. He pays attention to the fan's feedback and try to make things better every year.
Shaw's competition is the best imo and since he's so accomplished/passionate/respected by the competitors..I think the athletes see that winning this competition truly proves who the strongest is, yes winning WSM will change your life (money and fame) but when you talk about respect then it's the Shaw Classic I think Brian (along with the other strongmen on social media gaining audiences) will bring the sport to the next level, like the way The Ultimate Fighter basically saved the UFC.
I love that Brian is really focusing on the showmanship and wow factor and aspect of strongman. Considering that's the reason it started in the first place it's really good to see Brian embracing those roots and really focusing on putting on a show for the people
Agree. While we do consider it a great sport, and more regulation/bigger mainstream push would be great, people should continue to acknowledge the showmanship and circus freakshow aspect in my eyes - seeing these guys lift crazy real life stuff is what makes them relatable while impossible to copy at the same time.
I’m glad Brian took last years feedback about the website seriously and will be broadcasting it live. Waiting a day never bothered me but trying to get the site to work for hours after it had been uploading was so frustrating. Can’t wait for this years show!
Livestreams have their own host of problem, with streams going down and whatnot. Fingers crossed it will work fine but usually during someone's first foray into streaming comes with hiccups. Luckily getting access to it for a whole year should mean we can go back and watch and parts where we lost connection or whatever.
I love how Brian looks after the athletes. He's the type of guy that, just like Loz, would have called out the danger of the log press last week at the DL championship.
@@greigite5191 Of course I'm stating the obvious. If it's obvious that every event deals in dangerous weight why are you singling out the leg press as the dangerous event? Because the number sounds scarier than an 1100lb yoke?
@@shawnmichaud4484 because it is more dangerous, go watch the video from mitchell hooper about the leg press, he very much stated how hes pretty scared that he could be injured in this event, and said there would probably be a couple injuries just in this event
Exactly the hype I didn't need on top of how excited I was already. Livestream purchased and anticipation growing. Thanks for the superchat with Brian.
Something that I always appreciate is how articulate and well spoken Uncle Loz is. That paired with his lovely voice and accent and enthusiasm really makes him an amazing voice for strongman.
I totally agree with brian and the visuals of the leg press. Watching strongmen of past squating with women on their shoulders. Or a farmers walk carrying a motor cycle or fridge freezer on each shoulder they just show how mighty these guys are
Love the interview. Loz really is a fantastic interviewer because he let's the guest talk without interrupting, asks amazing questions, and has his own personality and is knowledgeable. It's amazing how you're basically promoting the shaw classic and helping people go see it because it's good for the sport. Really good guy it's respectable.
With the 3rd show this weekend it really looks like things will be so close to ideal. Brian is a perfectionist and I am sure will see things he will want to fine tune. I am looking forward to information about this show next week. I will be working all day Saturday so the year of access is bonus.
"At a certain point I was at my best and then I was just trying to hold on. Do you feel like at the moment or do you still feel you can bring even more?"...............Thats a tough question to answer for someone in his position, at least as a competitor . If you answer I'm still at my best, then you removes any excuses of age or wear on the body............Great interview Loz....Always enjoy seeing you and Shaw!
Great content. So good to tune in and hear two people so passionate about growing the sport talking to one another. Brian is doing an amazing job with the Shaw Classic, and it's great to see it growing each year.
I was waiting for this interview. Loved it great questions and answers given. And love the fact that we have it livestream and we can watch it back . AND NOW WE HAVE WOMEN TOO ??? How great is that ?! Brian deserves all the support and I will buy the access like I did on the other previous shows because this is just way too good to miss out
@@brandofowler They don't show the price until you create an account and start the checkout process. It came free with a Shaw Elite Club membership from July or earlier but IIRC buying through ADL is something like $4.99 for open only and $14.99 for pro
Putting on your own shows, and making them really focus on the athlete is for sure a place for Brian to live forever. I also think he is still in the top 10 for sure, but even consistently top 5 Strongmen in the world. If you are putting on a show anywhere in the world who wouldn't want the top 5 guys. How many more years that equates to, I don't know, but if you love it then go do it. Maybe compete at some of the other shows, crowd favorites, instead of the least favorite at least for the crowd.
Just take my money, Brian! You are one of the reasons I became a strongman fan and your ideas are just awesome! I've watched the previous two Shaw Classics and won't miss this one for the world!
I know the competitor's have a great time at the shaw classic before during and after !! , Brian shaw knows what he wants and therefore what the others will enjoy !
❤️ I have plans this weekend, so I put off buying the livestream, but now I know I can watch it in my own time I have now paid for the open and pro shows Thank you uncle Loz for a great interview xxx Brian - uncle Loz and Aunty Liz need to do the commentating for the live stream, if you want to grow the sport … just saying 😉❤️❤️❤️
Appreciate you guys. Your doing a great job trying to grow the sport. I've always been fascinated with strength. So what a great time for me to be a big fan. Ohio last year was my first time attending a show. I only made it Saturday. Next year I'm going both days and I am 98.99% sure I will be attending the 2023 SHAW CLASSIC!!! GOD willing.
I feel like Loz does such a good job of bringing out a slightly different version of Brian than he normally presents. He's always positive and excited and all that, but I feel like he actually kind of relaxes and stops putting on a show when he's on here, and just talks. I like it
I would absolutely love to see Loz and Liz be there for commentary! I have been a strongman fan for many years and have FINALLY got my wife interested in it. We will be attending the Shaw Classic this weekend and we are very excited to see how it turns out!!!
This is awesome! Brian has his heart and soul in this. I would like to hear more about the women competitors though. Things are changing for sure ! Much ❤ and respect!
We just had Denmarks Strongest Man at the 6th of August, the winner got 200$ and some merch. It's nice to see the pricepool is increasing on the larger stage, because the athletes put so much time and effort into this.
I don’t know why, but I have a strong feeling that once Brian Shaw retires from strongman, he’s gonna take over worlds strongest man and become the chairmen. By the way he’s handling the Shaw classic, with the live stream. He just seems like the man to do it
Honestly Brian needs to be in control of all strongman events or at least have something to do with them, I really think he's a great ambassador of the sport while still competing
It would be cool to have several shows a year one that focuses on speed, another just sheer brute strength, pressing, or deadlifting, but not just deadlifting (even though I love the Max deadlift Giants live stuff) but just who is the best lifter. It would be interesting to see how that changes things in the podium, and who goes for what. I still think Shaw has a legitimate shot when the show is heavy, but speed not so much... Shaw and Loz competitions, could take over them all!
Bought the whole thing. Think it has the potential to be the best contest. I think Arnolds is my favorite contest tho, but I it is a really good format to find out who is the strongest.
Loz can you please do the commentary for the Shaw Classic 2023!? 🙏 love the interview with Brian we been waiting for this 🤗 p.s I think Brian really wanted to talk to Loz about this 🤭
I can see the shaw classic one day being just as big as WSM and giants live in the near future and I would like to see brian shaw make a class for retired strong men that have the desire to compete without going to extremely heavy
Cool video guys . How many channels get to talk exclusively with the guys and girls of the sport while also putting out heartwarming and foookin quality all-round content 👌
There is no one watching this video that can say that Brian is not their idol. No one. He is a legend and an inspiration. To the strong and the weak (me!).
I think you have to pay four times 4.99 (19.96) to see the whole contest - Saturday AM - Saturday PM - Sunday AM - Sunday PM. It's really hard to find out what it costs without signing up to ADL's website, so this is just to let folks know. EDIT: Apparently, it's $14.99 for the pros for Saturday and Sunday, both days included.
ADL's lack of transparency is not very encouraging to be honest. Thank you for letting us know, so ten dollers? for the pro show. Unless they put the price on their website i will not be signing up to anything, Not signing up just to find out the cost, sound like a trick to get peoples email addresses, presumably so they can sell them off at a later date.
@@RobG001 dollars The website is kinda weird but it's $4.99 for the women's & men's open both days. $14.99 for for pros for Saturday and Sunday. Both days included. $ dollars
This should be great! :) kind of annoying for any of these athletes to commit to ANY contests and put in half ass effort. Sucks for the fans and the ones putting on the show. And for some that would kill to be there, (referring to some not taking the show that seriously)
Alittle disappointed there wasn't any talk of the open competition until the last 30 seconds. Really wanna know more about who's competing and what events they're doing. Also what do the women get for winning? I know the men's winner gets a Shaw Classic 2023 invite
We all want him to retire soon but he still is a top guy. 1st 2015 World's Strongest Man 1st 2016 World's Strongest Man 3rd 2017 World's Strongest Man 3rd 2018 World's Strongest Man 6th 2019 World's Strongest Man 5th 2020 World's Strongest Man 2nd 2021 World's Strongest Man 4th 2022 World's Strongest Man
Nah, I'd love for him to pull a Mark Felix and be around forever. The guy is a great competitor. As long as he enjoys taking a shot, I'll enjoy watching. I'm more excited at the prospect of a healthy Brian and healthy Big Z in the same contest than I am anything else. Just because they were such great rivals for so long.
How do you ever expect to get another world strongest man title if you’re so busy you don’t compete in anything else besides your strong man in the world strongman

YESSS!!! I’ve been waiting for you to do an interview with Brian! Brian and Loz are two of my role models so this is a real treat!
There is also a talking strongman with Brian shaw think that's about a hour long
I agree! These two are among the classiest guys in Strongman.
Take a shot every time Shaw says ya know
I love that Brian is really focusing on the showmanship and wow factor and aspect of strongman. Considering that's the reason it started in the first place it's really good to see Brian embracing those roots and really focusing on putting on a show for the people

That will be Epic & Hilarious.
Came here to literally say the same thing!
Imagine Loz, Liz, and Terry commentating!!

one thing im scared of is the leg press, with so much weight its quite dangerous

And sooo cool that they broadcast it live this time!!!
Exactly the hype I didn't need on top of how excited I was already. Livestream purchased and anticipation growing. Thanks for the superchat with Brian.
I've been looking all over. Where can we see the livestream?
Something that I always appreciate is how articulate and well spoken Uncle Loz is. That paired with his lovely voice and accent and enthusiasm really makes him an amazing voice for strongman.
I totally agree with brian and the visuals of the leg press. Watching strongmen of past squating with women on their shoulders. Or a farmers walk carrying a motor cycle or fridge freezer on each shoulder they just show how mighty these guys are
This is what brought me to strongman in the first place. Lifting a car, pulling a plane, it's mental! Awkward, dangerous and incredibly impressive.
Real life objects create far more visual drama and excitement than plates
This looks like a before/after advert for Gilette
Love the interview. Loz really is a fantastic interviewer because he let's the guest talk without interrupting, asks amazing questions, and has his own personality and is knowledgeable. It's amazing how you're basically promoting the shaw classic and helping people go see it because it's good for the sport. Really good guy it's respectable.

I rewatched the 2009 SSS Romania last night, featuring Brian and 18-year-old phenom Paul Pirjol. That kid was so impressive!
"At a certain point I was at my best and then I was just trying to hold on.

If you answer I'm still at my best, then you removes any excuses of age or wear on the body............Great interview Loz....Always enjoy seeing you and Shaw!
I am so impressed and happy that Brian and Loz think about the sport and not just themselves like some athletes in other spots sometimes.
Listening to this while I pack for CO!!
Fantastic interview. Thank you for asking all the big questions

Great content. So good to tune in and hear two people so passionate about growing the sport talking to one another. Brian is doing an amazing job with the Shaw Classic, and it's great to see it growing each year.
So great that you were able to get this time with Brian. Undoubtedly, he's very busy. Shows you how special this channel is and he is.
Brian is a totemic figure in strongman; worthy of the veneration he gets from the strength community.
I was waiting for this interview. Loved it great questions and answers given.
And love the fact that we have it livestream and we can watch it back . AND NOW WE HAVE WOMEN TOO ??? How great is that ?!
Brian deserves all the support and I will buy the access like I did on the other previous shows because this is just way too good to miss out
Glad to hear that Brian invited Martins. Seemed like they aren’t super comfortable around one another. Hoping he can compete next year
This is going to be the first strongman event I've actually paid to watch live. The big list of athletes and events sold me. Really excited.
How much was it? I cant find it on the site

In this modern period of strongman, do I believe Brian Shaw will win a 5th title, No. Do I believe he's capable of winning a 5th title, Yes.

Do Strongmen do "Mock Meets" like powerlifters do?
Anybody knows how much the live stream costs?
Are hummer tyre deadlifts from different competitions comparable? Same whip, weight of tyres, weight distribution etc?
