  1. Was very cool and the idea of having to beat Brian on his own turf in the winter mountains is very cool. People can say Brian had the advantage because of the elevation but you can also say that the small 300lb guy has the advantage in the tropical locations. Every competition gives someone an advantage. Hopefully next year Mateuz, Martins, Tom will be there.

  2. yeah I want shaw to win 5 but this stone-off stuff bugs the hell out of me, it's very dumb, should just let the top 10 guys through dependent on their total scores

  3. Yeah the dude is 25, was an alternate and got 3rd!

  4. and his last year there he was still capable of getting on the podium this year if he hadn't made just a few mistakes, mainly not doing a tiny bit more and getting that .5 points to keep him out of the stone off, on paper he at least makes the podium, that potential is still there, not that I think he should go for 1 more, but I think he still has a couple more shaw classics in him, I think he'll win this last one, how cool would that be
    5
  5. they should just go by total points and let the top 10 through, have the stone off between the 3rd place guys for some kind of trophy...I don't know, it's very unfair

  6. Remember when that keg landed on Brian Shaw's shoulder and vaporized? Haha. Anyway, Bobby is awesome, a powerhouse..numb feet and all.

  7. it's another damn exhibition mismatch, this crap is so annoying, it's like that jake paul giving older smaller guys just 2 months to learn boxing when he's been training in boxing for years...thor fighting devon is sooooooo weak, makes him look like a chicken

  8. brian really has 5 titles and big z has 3, not that brian is better but let's be real about that sand bag rolling off the platform costing him the title

  9. let's be real, brian has 5 wsm titles, his sand bag rolled off a platform, haha

  10. I say give it one more year training with eddie hall or some legendary strongman and then retire, or just retire after this depending on how badly he does, in training he kicks butt but he can never put it together in comp now it seems, too slow, too careful, the heat seems too much..

  11. Yeah his lack of training videos is very noticeable. He's very serious about this last one. I think he's in great shape. Not at his strongest, but WSM isn't all about strength. It's about speed and stamina as well and with a little bit of luck he can win it...and strategy. I mean I see it happen in tennis all the time, the luck of the draw. Not every one can make it to the competition, not everyone is always mentally in the right place, some will suffer injuries, some will make mistakes with..tacky, some events might favor you more..the stars align and if you keep showing up for the tournament you'll get the win. It ain't about who's the best that year but who's the best during those couple days. Brian is always top 5, with a little luck he could win it. Heck, bad luck certainly cost him his 5th.. It would be a great thing to witness. And I'd love to see him coach.

  12. Great video from you two! Thanks! And no more stone-offs, please!

  13. They gotta end this stone-off BS and just go by points. They have these men compete in a stone off even after we clearly see by the points who won. And in most stone-offs they end in a TIE, so they STILL ended up going by points! Bobby had a tacky issue and that cost him everything. And who the heck can win WSM after lifting a 400lb stone for max reps? Has that ever happened? I don't even think they podium. Guys dominate the heats yet those points don't count towards the main events. Why? The only time that would make sense is if the heats took place in different countries and the winner of each Heat earned a spot at WSM. I mean it's just so silly. The Heats should not be a separate competition. The Heats can still exist but just advance the top 2 and let them keep their points. If the top 2 are tied, THEN do the stone-off. Actually the stone off can end in a tie, better to just do something like a tire flip.

  14. man these dudes are so fast now, and would be insane if novikov won this, he is killing it right now

  15.  @jimllbreakit8537  imagine that, right after JF Caron retires

  16. apparently 5.5 points isn't enough, wow

  17.  @AlexanderMichelson  ukriane is full of amazing athletes, many in their prime risking everything to fight off the russian invaders, who the F has a problem with that? did you know the mayor of kiev is KLITSCHKO? this is comic book good guy vs bad guy stuff
    2
  18. for novikov to win it and bring that trophy to ukraine..well that would be better than shaw getting his 5th, imagine the morale boost his people back in ukraine would have, it would be amazing
    2
  19.  @scottessery100  yeah either one would make me happy, bobby getting a chance vs brian winning it all, I'd rather see bobby having a chance in the finals than see brian getting 2nd or 3rd, the stone-off is beyond stupid, we already see the top 10 scorers of the groups..so that's the finalists! or to make is more fair, have the overall top scorers go to the finals!

  20.  @southwestgal7  you're probably right

  22. Mith is scary good. He has it all. I can see him winning a few.

  23. Such a well made video. Thanks! I'd like to see who lift the heaviest stone and the millennium dumbell. I remember Brian saying he believed he was capable of lifting a 700lb stone. He's done over 600lbs. And that dumbell, Eddie couldn't lift it. It's maybe 235lbs with a Thomas Inch. Eddie watched Brian lift it basically for reps. haha Eddie was very impressed.

  24.  @speedy692  yeah but the bag was placed, it's not the same as throwing a barrel or atlas stone too hard onto a podium uncontrollably to get a better time, meanwhile Big Z and sitting in the water huffing and puffing, I'm just sayin'
    2
  25.  @Fankas2000  where? I just watched the event and that didn't happen
    2
  26. yeah it's crazy how you can't be your best even though you are the best, because you have to have great competition to challenge you to push beyond what you think is beyond your limit

  27. Imagine putting that show together, in December during a pandemic...man that would be tough. I just with they had aired it live on Youtube. There must be a way to make it work where they can still earn money for all this. Everyone wants one of those Shaw Classic shirts with the names on the back. And quite a few companies contributed, so that's sponsors right there. I'm obviously no expert in any of this though. Love seeing Brian get a win...man people were so down on the guy after just a few somewhat low placings. Trey impressed the hell out of me.

  28. maxine seems the type to take advice and evan not the type, maybe I'm wrong though, evan seems to have a lot of potential but ego can get in the way
    2
  29. could he uppercut though?
    2
  30. the only thing against mitch hooper is "how can someone keep up such a great performance". with novikov and hooper, they do so well that you just can't imagine them keeping that level of performance up..but maybe they can, they're absolute freaks, guys that size and agile being that strong is just crazy, if they can't pace themselves then Brian can win due to his consistency, hard to imagine trey and evan winning just yet, tom is hard to read but could always take it, maybe a newcomer wins it but the experienced prior champs will have to make mistakes
    2
  31. Basically the top 4 on day 1 are my top 4 picks and imo it'll be between Novikov and Trey for 1st. I'd actually love to see Novikov win it. Should be an epic battle for 3rd as well.

  32.  @richardlawton1023  Will Brian attempt to lift a 500-600lb stone? I'm wondering if maybe he'll try.
    2
  33. I remember seeing him train with Brian Shaw and he seems like a smart very serious no BS strongman.

  34. if only Eddie had been hydrated at those events..can you imagine?!!

  35. Here's my off the cuff order of winners: What's yours?! brian trey mitch tom singleton novikov max Brian's really put together a fun and competitor-friendly comp.

  36. evan went into anaphylactic shock, he's cleared for day 2 though, he'll be back!
    1
  37. Interesting how close Trey and Evan seem to be in every event. I'm guessing Brian and Bragg going first hurt them, surprised at those results. Pavlo really is a beast. Hooper's ability just doesn't make sense. Can he keep that performance up?

  38. i love that it's a winter-mountain-heavy competition

  39. And remember Dec12 is the Shaw Classic. Check out the lineup! Zydrunas “Big Z” Savickas, Mateusz Kieliszkowski, Robert Oberst, J.F. Carron, Rob Kearney, Adam Bishop, Terry Hollands, Jerry Pritchett, Maxime Boudreault, and Brian Shaw

  40.  @herrrobert5340  not sure, but I never count these dudes out, they recover very quickly, heck the biggest obstacle is passing the covid test

  41. I'd rather see something different happen with the log lift, so many zeroes, like allow them to have a chance at every log. I'd rather see the car press replaced with some sort of squat, with that circus barbell thing. Maybe have a tire flip replace the bag toss and have the bag toss as a bonus round for cash. And maybe the arm over arm implement can be something like a dirtbike, something with a weight we can understand. The stairs at the end was a BRILLIANT idea, and Brian+Mitch showed us why. Luckily the Evan mistake didn't affect his placing. Alexi looked..like..happy out there. As a non-strongman and just a spectator, I really liked that standing press machine. Brian was very hungry to win this..I mean he was shouting to pump himself up and everything. *That wheelbarrow was 800lbs at the handles. 350lb sandbags, if anyone's wondering.

  42.  @Ogilla  hey I don't disagree
    1
  43. yeah this is why i hate the group stuff, bobby wins all that but if he loses the stone-off then shaw gets through 1st and 2nd placers should immediately go to the final if anyone should be in the stone off it's the 3rd place guys or guys that are tied actually the athletes should all be placed in order via their total points and the top 10 should go to the final, why doesn't that happen? that makes the most sense! luke got a great group :P

  44. I am sooooooo tired of much larger, much younger guys with much more boxing training boxing as if they're actual boxers. I'm so tired of seeing it.
    1
  45.  @larskarl5069  do you know if pro boxers ever do that? I know some tennis players will do it when they swing
    1
  46. mitch and novikov have that unicorn power, they're not very big but they can move weight like nothing, insane, imagine if mitch had experience with the lifts, he's never lifted a car or pulled a bus etc..haha, a lot of this stuff and this pressure is new to him, nowhere near his peak I think we see who 1 and 2 will be, but I think Novikov wins this for Ukraine. I think Licis and Brian will battle for 3rd, I just don't expect Hooper to keep up this level of performance the entire run when it's his first time here and he's so inexperienced, anyway it's fun to make predictions even if they're totally wrong

  47.  @rdad4121  isn't that why he stopped doing the Arnold? that bouncy stage+elephant bar kept screwing up his hamstring, I just remember for a year or two thinking "if this contest has an elephant bar then brian is screwed, he just kept tweaking it, I think the last time I saw him deadlift a lot was back in a garage with jf caron and caron hit his PR, I think they both got 1,000, JF was back from an injury and I think Brian tweaked it after that but yeah for years brian hasn't been any threat at deadlift, but his deadlift was still good enough, this recent WSM was good, he just kept making mistakes, like strange mistake an experienced guy shouldn't be making, maybe the heat affects his thinking these days+age causing fatigue+maybe the pressure.. I don't know, look at how well he does at his Classic, not just against his competition but against himself, he shines there, I think when Tom, Novikov and Hooper are at this years Shaw Classic then we'll really get to see just how strong Brian still is (knock on wood)

  48.  @thorthewolf8801  yeah but that was very recently, he hadn't competed there in a few years, last year was 2019

  49. He's his biggest enemy, risk=injury, but with age comes maturity.

  50.  @beardedbjorn5520  that's a shame, especially after the luke situation at wsm
