Brian vs Big Z is the greatest rivalry in Strongman. Two of the best going up against each other year after year. In any other era, either man would have won 5 or 6 WSM titles, but they took wins off each other.
@@unknown55158 could there be a tougher question? Big Z and Brian are 100% up there. Candidates for the other two spots: Paul Anderson, Kaz, Jon Pall, Eddie/Thor (ironic how they are interchangeable in that conversation; both sky high peaks), Ed Coan, Don Reinhoudt.
Anyone else watching everything about Brian, since he just competed in his last competition? This man has been a joy to watch for all these years ❤️❤️❤️
Something about Brian yelling “YEAH/YES” before a big lift gets me really fucking pumped up. I could be in bed getting ready to go to sleep and suddenly want to lift the house off its foundation 😂😤💪
I've been watching Strongman since the 1st one. There been periods where besides the top 3 guys, no one had a chance to win it. In the first few years I bet the average guy was 280 lbs, maybe lighter. Big Don Rheinholdt and at probably 340 was an exception. Kaz as big and dominating as he he was, was 310 to 320? After that the game changed and the Scandinavians took over, but so did the contest. You had to lighter and fit cardio wise or you lost. The weights werent as heavy but the emphasis was on speed. As soon as the Eastern Europeans came in, the Scandinavians were done. They were bigger, faster and stronger. Mariuz was the perfect monster with perfect timing and won everything. But, at 310? he couldnt compete against the new monsters. Frankly, Big Z and Shaw are probably the best of the best. Competing against each other and a huge cast of monsters that were probably the best of all time.
Brian Shaw is awe inspiring. Those feats of strength is mind boggling. I have been watching Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall videos lately and I love the friendship and comradery between these two behemoths. I didn't think Eddie was that tall but he's 6'3" and over 350 lbs! Brian is 6'8" and 430 lbs! I'm 5'10" and 210 lbs, 49 years old and pretty strong for my age and weight but these dudes are on a whole different level. Aside from the size and strength aspect, they seem to be really good guys. Respect.
He is the Goat to me. Big Z was awesome for sure. Marius had one year I feel was questionable. The best wasn't there, like Shaw and Big Z against each other.
Bryan Shaw was the last of the big name titans of strong man there's no one really left that captures the phrase Legendary strong man realistically in my opinion there's people who are excellent strong men and then there's legends like Bryan Shaw The thing is when a lot of people think str young man one of the names that comes to exemplify it is Bryan Shaw so so yeah
Why dose everyone call brain a four time winner he has won five times only the rules at the time make it four Officially. The big z brain Era will always be the best ever. Big z won three and drew brain has won 4 and drew one. But I think they are equally the best ever bin
Watch WSM 2022 and watch this Brian looks like 2 different people. Here he looks like a complete animal at worlds 2022 he just looked like a guy happy to be there no hunger or fire in him at all!

@@patrickknowles8608 Lol Arnold Classics 🤣😂
He is on my "Mount Rushmore of Strength"
As he should be on anyone’s.
Who takes the other 3 spots?
Obviously Big Z, but then you've got Kazmier, Jon Pall, Mariusz P
maybe to a lesser extent:
Thor, Eddie, Poundstone etc

Why no love for my man Magnus Ver? ♥️
@@QueenToKingOfSpades the second I finished typing I thought "I probably forgot someone"
I was there when Brian won his first WSM in 2011 in Wingate NC.
That's really awesome
That's really cool . What a great moment
Cool

Probably the strongest man of all-time!
Not even close. Prophet Adam is way stronger
@@Manusia.satu1And so is Prophet Muhammad, Moses, and probably every Prophet and Messenger of God.
@user-ct6lt8ro4n that's why it's weird when people said normal human is strongest lol. They don't know history
@@Manusia.satu1fictional people don't count
I always appreciate how brain gets his game face on, the man damn near turns into the hulk
🧠
Turns into the hulk? He is ALREADY the Hulk!
Easily top 3 of all time

We will never see another rivalry in the sport like Brian and big Z ever again. I feel like every year someone else is going to win WSM these days

I bet you were itching to tell all these to someone for a long time 😊
The best of Brian Shaw SO FAR*
Fixed your title :) He ain't done!
You're not wrong!
IAM biggest fan from briwan shaw
Exactly. He's about to get his fifth WSM, so he's definitely not done!
Strongest man ever and also the nicest man ever. He is truly the best ever
No matter how many times you’ve seen Brian or his lifts…
When you see them again, you just instinctively say
“Wow, that’s a BIG BOIII.”
Watching this while being high hits different. What a beast

It was great to see the Svelte Brian Shaw in this!!
Brian Shaw, the biggest man with the worlds biggest heart!
Watching this right after I met Brian at his greatness seminar at york barbell 2024!! It was amazing
I love watching Brian toss kettlebells and kegs. makes me want to do this event!
That man is an absolute unit goddamn
Brian Shaw back in 2008 looked lean, it was in 2011 that he became a mass monster.
He could have had 5 this year, he'll get it next year
strongest man to ever live
I always forget that 981lb circus barbell deadlift was from a small deficit AND on a stiff bar. Thats fucking wild
Brain Shaw I like 👍👑
Big shaw 🔥🔥🔥🔥
this channel is getting better.
He is the Goat to me. Big Z was awesome for sure. Marius had one year I feel was questionable. The best wasn't there, like Shaw and Big Z against each other.
The Shawman
Crazy seeing Brian in 2011 compared to today. His diet and regimen must’ve got better cause he seems to have gotten bigger as he got older.
Big Z is a legend whatsoever
Beast
and yrs later after flying through it, brian is the only one to get through all 5 fingers event
No he isn’t. Many have finished fingal’s fingers

Goat 🐐
Raw power!!!
I have to give it to the rope in the truck puling event. That is some strong rope! :D
Damn my old sport injury shoulder is going off when watching those lifts at 3:20
Shaw was once a small man
6’8” and easily 280+ here… what do you MEAN small man? 😂
I think he means maybe when he was 7
I hate speed challenges
..strong must be static
Great , I love this sport .
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Don't forget to include the salt from 2016 Facebook post 😂
I have a Skyrim Nord named Brian shaw that uses two handed hammers
Yeah “part 1” thats what i thought Shaw isnt out just yet
How can you leave out the 2017 tyre flip?!
2:46 I was convinced that was going to come back down on his head.
I can’t believe I saw him lift a 700 pound metal bar that is hard to believe
Real life Paul Bunyan
Only big Z the legend og wsm 😊
During kettlebells is anyone else thinking about it just cracking them in the skull
Does the stomach get bloated and distended by lifting so much weight?
It's the carbs to store the power. When halfthor stopped strongman he leaned up and has ripped abs
@@mynamemeanspeace thanks bro -- was wondering about that
The one dislike is from Brian's toilet
I suddenly feel the urge to go try lift my car🤷♂️
Proton Preve
What's wrong with Brian's voice did he not do his pct

Four wins but Mariusz had five that makes Mariusz the best ever.
I can't imagine what they can do to a bathroom. lol
Hire some better commentators.
Seeing brian with hair is weird
Damn, dont get this thing on ya feet lol
It's Kinda Sad to see how much Brian has slowed down. And still trying to compete with these athletes that he could have smoked back in the day!
Watch WSM 2022 and watch this Brian looks like 2 different people. Here he looks like a complete animal at worlds 2022 he just looked like a guy happy to be there no hunger or fire in him at all!
I will win worlds Strongest man 2036
I want this guy growing the ship. Other might think I'm tubro'd
Baby face shaw........
4:00 xQc
6:11
He likes to sniff his hand after fist bumping strong men.
Kinda weird but hey we all have our weird things we do I guess. 🤷♂️
Steroid free also. Insane.
Dude cmon ...
Acknowledged I viewed for visibility accounting* - cognizance of non verbal communication (paroxsym.... 😠)
Brian is my guy but he looked like a goober when he was younger.
Eats a lot then using roids this is what to be a strongest man
The greatest Homosexual Strongman Ever in my book.
The dude has a wife and 2 kids...?
