@@ezradanger I don't believe that to be true, you could say the same for core strength if that's your reasoning. You don't use your core to lift, so its unimportant. Theres a reason powerlifting uses bench, and theres a reason most strongmen don't have a high bench. Meaning in certain movements (fundamental ones) powerlifters are stronger, so calling these people the strongest on earth can't be true if that's the case. They're only the strongest in certain movements. Strongman evolves all the time, we need to start adding chest movements if we're really gonna gauge overall strength.
@@ezradanger Carrying and unloading, and a lot of the lifting all require core strength. You can't stabilize a 1000lb yoke without serious core strength.
I instead don't love how loose the regulations on equipment are. I mean come on, Brian's "sleeves" look like an anti-explosion lining. He still would have beaten everybody but he could barely wear them. Took them immediately off before taling the mic 😂 Apparatus is very impressive tho
I would like to see them put like an animated brian shaw up at the top like donkey Kong like it goes to look like it grabs a keg and turns like it's sending it down. Idk I think it would add a little something.
fact though he was injured but still pushed through to the end and still took first, thats something you only hear about in tales and legends, brians also in a position to help the sport of strongman along to the next level for guys like the stoltmans and hooper, etc, it is sad shaw retired when he still had a few yr's left in him but it's understandable too
@@roman-om2fh I agree, I think the machine is still biased based on the person's height and shoulder/grip width. You can tell this if you watch closely when the different size contestants lift.
This is brilliant - I have never seen anything like it before in a strongman competition. It will mean another set of skills these giants will have to train for. Exceptional effort, especially from the smaller men. Innovation has worked well here. Loved it. Brain Shaw is the man.
And to think that they said Brian Shaw created this machine. I bet the staff who reset weights or have to increase weights in between reps are happy with this contraption.
This was one of the most metal things at the shaw classic. I was in a middle row but the loud "CLUNK-CLANG-THUMP" of this machine was awesome. Add that to the fact this was such a different event from many strongman staples that tests an entirely different muscle group and you have a recipe for hype.
I dont understand why like NONE of them took some time to rest. Theyd be 4 or 5 barrells in with over a minute left and would immediately press the next one..even after severly struggling with the last. In some cases rest coulda got em that next barrell perhaps, no?
@@ytsux9259 no they don't most of them don't bench that heavy you have to understand that powerlifting training and strongmen training both are entirely different
@@thepgguy.9343 bench and chest press are two different things you dont need to bench alot to do chest press its literally an isolated exercise that doesnt even require you to balance the weight. they literally have them doing chest press because you can not train for it and still have far less chance at injury compared to bench press.
@ytsux9259 note also its a STANDING chest press, which is absolutely not something they train for. Just think about the mechanism of action in the body, you are no longer pushing the weight "up" against gravity, but "forward" with gravity acting perpendicular. Its a very different movement regardless of whether they train bench/chest or not.
You know that people will remember you when you create your own competition such as the Shaw classic and people do not think of it is a joke and genuinely want to come to it.
Amazing.. at the start i was omg imagine if brian was here.. and at the end he arrived.. incredible.. !!! This guy pushes this sport very far for everyone thank you
does anyone know how much each barrel weigh? and how much the machine weigh empty? edit: starts empty at 395, and all 8 barrels at 575, that makes a total added weight of 180. so each barrel weigh 22.5 lbs. Please correct me if this is wrong.
The starting arm angle seems like it would make a big difference. I know they measured things but there are clearly much different starting arm angles between lifters.
Not sure why more guys didn't use the full two minutes to give an all-out effort on their respective last rep. Several guys, if not most guys, had around 45 seconds they could have rested before going for their last rep.
That was Ed Coan the short guy with the whistle and the untucked shirt. The Greatest Powerlifter of All Time. He did lifts at 220 and 240lbs 30 years ago that most of these monsters would struggle with today. Also one of the coolest guys you could ever meet...
Now I know why Brian is so good at his own competition. Statics not only favor his body type, but he basically created a whole company to give himself an unfair advantage in equipment. His sleeves are ridiculous. He didn't even need such sleeves, he won by a country mile
I don’t think they know what the weights are. The increments that it’s going up by aren’t consistent. I thought maybe the kegs were different weights but they don’t stay in the same the same order.
Are athletes allowed to wait until deep into the clock to try to get one more rep? I didn't see anyone doing that. One or more guys had 45 seconds to a minute left when they went for their last rep, and they might have been able to get one more rep had they waited.
What's funny is Eddie Hall could have done more than 14 (he's been known to out-benchpress Brian Shaw handedly). Might've been interesting to see someone like Julius Maddox try this event to give people an idea what one could do.
A big congrats to the person(s) that constructed that machine that allows the barrels to drop down. Great innovation!!!!!!!!
I thought it was dumb until I saw how they reset the weights to the top bit. It's actually really clever
@@syndrome5372of course you would think it’s dumb just because 😂🤣, you UA-cam trolls are hilarious
@@CeeWorld69 You the only one trolling. How ironic. I also thought it was dumb until i realized the efficacy of reloading the weights. Nothing wrong with that at all get a life bro stop trolling
Strongmen events are missing chest exercises, i'm glad to finally see something related to chest
Because there aren't many practical uses of raw chest strength.
because of pec tear risk

I love how Brian put so much effort into the apparatus. The fact your size doesnt make a difference is great.

Just rewatching these have been getting me so hyped for this years event! Can’t wait
Brian Shaw the giant with a humble & soft down to earth personality.. Hats off Legend... Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏

Eddie should be the beast feeding the barrels. ;-)
Yes
Severely underrated comment
Great idea
The Strongman event is you throw the barrels down. The Crossfit event is you are Mario and need to make it to the top.
I love how the GOAT of powerlifting Ed Coan is judging.
Brian Shaw looking ginormous lol other guys looks big but Shaw is the only one (with Bjornsson) who looks naturally titanic.
And Tom
And Bilton
@@Mo-kl4fb nah

Great event! More static pressing makes a better show than loading race after loading race!
Lmao thats a VERY odd opinion
I love this crazy rig.
Absolutely incredible apparatus. Shame that Brian was injured. I love this event.

The fact it was able to adjust for each person's size and have the same leverage is awesome. He really did amazing getting that thing out together

Always love to see Shaw and beast together
What a awesome event! Looking forward for this year competition
Congratulations big Brian on the big win! So glad you are still pushing!!!
What an awesome event!! Love it! So much strongman events benefit very tall large guys, its kinda fun to see an event that doesn't really matter.
brian shaw top bloke heart gos out to him top man well done
Yes been waiting to watch this event again 💪
The machine would have to jam up on Brian. Looking forward to this years comp!
Honestly, I'm glad it jammed on him rather than anyone else. Just to keep drama out of the event. Amazing effort!
LOL, I think if it had come down to time ad not reps then they would have owed him about 8 seconds.
I dont understand why like NONE of them took some time to rest. Theyd be 4 or 5 barrells in with over a minute left and would immediately press the next one..even after severly struggling with the last. In some cases rest coulda got em that next barrell perhaps, no?
Yeah I asked myself the same question. Only thing I could think of is that maybe the scoring is different for this event? No clue tbh
well since no one took the rest its not like anyone got an advantage someone else didnt get, so basically as if it wasnt allowed to begin with
At even barrels wins the fastest
If several finish on the same number of barrels, the fastest gets the highest points.
Awesome event. It's great to see something new!
Great video!
strongmen don't train the bench that much so lifting this amount of weights without any chest training is really impressive
Lol! They train chest press all the time.
@@ytsux9259 no they don't most of them don't bench that heavy you have to understand that powerlifting training and strongmen training both are entirely different
Brian Shaw once told Eddie he never trained arms which is crazy when you look at the size of his biceps and forearms
@@thepgguy.9343 bench and chest press are two different things you dont need to bench alot to do chest press its literally an isolated exercise that doesnt even require you to balance the weight. they literally have them doing chest press because you can not train for it and still have far less chance at injury compared to bench press.

Loved the what im calling the DK Barrel lift
This is awesome.
Mitch Hooper is so good he's gonna make the other competitors stay hungry
the crowd CHANTING BRIAN!!!!!!
Amazing.. at the start i was omg imagine if brian was here.. and at the end he arrived.. incredible.. !!! This guy pushes this sport very far for everyone thank you
Start watching about after 40 minutes If you want to see Shaw... Lol
Strong man always needed a chest press event
I love Evans, wow I underestimated on the first look, wow !!!
Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊 Brian killed it. 👍
That was a interesting competition. I dig it
does anyone know how much each barrel weigh? and how much the machine weigh empty?
edit: starts empty at 395, and all 8 barrels at 575, that makes a total added weight of 180. so each barrel weigh 22.5 lbs. Please correct me if this is wrong.
Absolutely correct as far as i know👍
10kg so you're about right at 22.5lbs.
They don’t go up in equal increments
Older.plp
Each barrel is NOT 22.5 lbs wtf lol, 22.5 lbs is the size of a small dumbbell 😂
I love strongman implements like this. What a feat of engineering. Props to the designer and builders.
So nice to see good things happen to great people. Brian Shaw is man.
Bro this is dope. Chest in strong man 💯💯💪
Brian has been so good for the growth of this sport and just seems like a genuine good guy and great seeing so many fans.
This was amazing to bring back and to max it out while no one could plus an extra rep.
Awesome competition.
I was just so anxious ab the kegs the whole time wondering if he might drop one too early
That was awesome 🔥👌👌👌
Brian shaw amazing
This machine is impressive despite a few problems. I like it.
👍
Very entertaining event.
Very cool piece of gear
This looks fun
How heavy is the two last barrels?
It’s amazing wat the human body can do!
Ed Coan was impressed with Brians performance 😅
What a beast Shaw is.
Extremely impressive piece of engineering
I'm turning 40 in April with an ACL surgery 4 years ago.. lol... I wish I could go back to these days.....man this is sooooo inspiring!
Still young brother keep ear goin 💪🏽God bless
The starting arm angle seems like it would make a big difference. I know they measured things but there are clearly much different starting arm angles between lifters.
Brian is the man.
Standing Chest Press might be my favorite event in strongman… Hats off to Brian Shaw for inventing this event
He didnt invent this
@@bryanadkins2944This event
Not sure why more guys didn't use the full two minutes to give an all-out effort on their respective last rep. Several guys, if not most guys, had around 45 seconds they could have rested before going for their last rep.
So how much did they end up moving for their max?
brian has the advantage cuz he actually has power
Is the weight equally distributed? It looks like it has more weight in the right side
the graphics can be improved so we don't have to wait for the announcer to know the weights or the number of reps a person is on
You'de think that would be basic, also not having to wait 5 mins between lifter would be a lot more engaging.
Bon courage Brave
very cool reload

Only thing that needs some work is overall look of the stage, some smoke and lights should make it more interesting visually
Finally, one event for chest.
Brian Shaw is a beast.
Just dropped in to watch humble Brian take it home.
PF has one of those.
Donkey Kong lives, and he exists in the Strongest Men in the World universe.
At the 2001 all strength nations challenge they had to do a 2 man bench press.
Now I know why Brian is so good at his own competition. Statics not only favor his body type, but he basically created a whole company to give himself an unfair advantage in equipment. His sleeves are ridiculous. He didn't even need such sleeves, he won by a country mile
Seemed like everybodys right shoulder was higher than left - was the machine wrongly setup?
These guys should watch out next year, Hafthor has a powerlifting background and could be competing here
Good for him this event is'nt going to be there this year🥳
@@dannywielink5200 I said next year, for whatever reason Hafthor won't be competing at Shaw Classic in August
Never happen
I want to do standing press 😳
Problem is with these machines it’s so hard to get natural depending on height
this is a reality workout...compare to lying down the bench 😊
From this video I finally learned that Evan looks like a American Mateusz
Nice of Gordon Ryan to help out
Is that Ed Coan as one of the judges???
i love that eddie retired and became a commentator
Second guy could have rested for 35 seconds more before making the last attempt.
A true girlie press
I don’t think they know what the weights are. The increments that it’s going up by aren’t consistent. I thought maybe the kegs were different weights but they don’t stay in the same the same order.
muito força bruta junto, saudações aqui do Brasil UA-cam Caminhoneiro Strong ❤
That tiny band holding this whole machine together? lol
Y’all saw Eddie Hall cheering after Brian lift
Scott Steiner never competed in any strong man contest. He is known to have done 3 sets of 12 press behind neck with barbell, 365 pounds.
🎉🏆🎉
Are athletes allowed to wait until deep into the clock to try to get one more rep? I didn't see anyone doing that. One or more guys had 45 seconds to a minute left when they went for their last rep, and they might have been able to get one more rep had they waited.
