It’s crazy. Hicks makes the average person look small, terry makes hicks look small, and Brian makes terry look small. Brian’s mom truly deserves so much props and credit, for a variety of reasons 😂

[@aeis3007]

Brian walked out of his mom with the same amount of hair he still has. Things were weird when he stared to use the umbilical cord as a resistance band though.

[@Cpk86]

This is a perfect example to never judge a book by its cover

[@springheeljak145]

There's always a bigger fish

[@Gervindial]

I feel like we don't appreciate Brian's full ROM technique enough. Each rep moves about half a mile and doesn't slow down 😂

[@cusefan5510]

I’m a couple inches shorter than Brian, people never respect how strong you have to be to hit that full range of motion on all your pressing movements. Brian is an alien.

[@anthonybeltran2696]

@@cusefan5510 people don’t respect because taller people have a larger frame and thus a greater potential for more muscle growth and strength. Sure, you’ve got a greater ROM to travel, but you also have ALOT more muscle packed onto those long bones. Pressing movements only suck for taller people at a beginner level with long ass arms and no muscle. This coming from a tall guy.

[@Chrontard]

@@cusefan5510 in one rep max, ROM doesnt even matter, in fact taller people are in advantage there.. pressing record holders are all tall people.. even olympic weightlifters with highest numbers are tall...

[@leeblackharry]

@@anthonybeltran2696 Truth to that. I'm 6'6" at 247lbs and I recently hit a bench PR at 285, but probably would have been 300 if I didn't progressively load the bar and tire myself out.

[@user-my2se7sn3s]

Definitely much better than Terry's piss poor ROM

[@Jimminycrickets-xl1bh]

Geez, I forget how strong Hicks is sometimes. That 455 moved stupid fast.

[@Justin-jg2hi]

Suicide gripping 530 shows an extreme level of self confidence I hope to achieve one day

[@aeis3007]

I would want 3 spotters for that weight or just 1 Brian.

[@Scott-jk5zk]

the 485 log he did on the vid was sick fast too

[@NONO-hz4vo]

No doubt his strength is impressive but there is also no way I would trade my body for his. All kinds of strength but that size on that frame is unwieldy. There is no way he is going out and playing a game of basketball or going mountain biking and for darn sure he isn't running for more than 5 minutes. I am sure he is thrilled and good for him, just processing what limitations come with that size was kind of interesting to me. I feel like Brian at 6'9" is going to live with size limitations no matter what mass he puts on, might as well reap the benefits.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

@@NONO-hz4vo My bodyweight is 115 kg at height 182 cm. I look kinda fat, my bench is 170 kg, 200 kg squat, 230 deadlift. I can do 5 sets of 7-8 pullups, good box jumps, I run 2.5 miles twice a week and often go for 8-12 hours walks. I wouldn't trade my strength for leaner body, I can do everything I want with this one.

[@nutriskulpt926]

What a perfect technique for shoulder presses by brian..full range of motion as well....shows why he is the 4 times worlds strongest man...respect

[@Frosty4Real]

hopefully 5 times :)

[@samuisi]

The pressing power Hicksy has is absolutely insane. At Glasgow this year gonna be a good one between him and Luke for the 230kg

[@herb2078]

Hicks is really one of the most under rated strongmen in the world for me. Injuries have kept him from showing the level he’s at hopefully he can have a nice run of health and smash some big comps to remind people of his level

[@maticsimonic9673]

For sure, he podiumed twice at Europe’s

[@petershortland478]

​@@maticsimonic9673 he has only podium once he missed out only just in 2020, Ervin Toots got 3rd that year 2021 he podiumed

Love the clang of the metal plates! Time to get back to the gym! Great job guys!

Everyone gonna bit hitting up that smith machine today after watching this video.

At 0:30 I briefly thought that was Zydrunas Savickas walking around behind them. Lol.

Unbelievable pressing game fellas! 💪 Great job getting after it and thanks for bringing us along for the ride!!

[@Hybridsixtynine]

Brian, that was one hell of a bench press video! I'd have been great to watch you guys have a meal together, too.

[@shawn4387]

Great vid love seeing you guys getting at it

[@codyflasch4936]

Brian's range of motion is amazing.

[@preworkoutking8306]

Long time since I seen Brian Shaw bench. Great video.

[@georgetheanimalsteele2114]

Brian has great form. I love how he squeezes out that first rep with full range of motion.

[@LeMax005]

The red shirt form is awful!!

[@pattes123]

Meanwhile other dude bends his arms barely and extends 6 inches but is somehow the same bench?!

[@1113slwal]

Absolutely impressive work guys! Also loving the Pantera at the end, which is my go-to for lifting.

[@Smitlors]

Big fan of Hicksy looking strong as an Ox man

[@sturomain]

Ive always thought if they did a Robin Hood movie again. That Terry would be the most perfect Little John. Grew up on the cartoon RH. Terry is the spitting image of Little John

[@TheHixxy1985]

Most fun I have had training in a long time

[@AllThings101]

Terry literally just wants to be done with the video and eat some food 😂 btw we need to see you guys eating together

Wtf Hicks is a beast that was insane pressing session

[@michaelmontano1364]

Excellent to see the guys having fun making it look easy!

[@jackfaile180]

Geez Brian, I can't believe a human like you even exists on this planet. You are the very embodiment of human strength at it's absolute finest. To my mind, you are the strongest man in history.

[@jefflawson3574]

Hard to imagine how any human at any given point in time could have been allround stronger. Even assuming someone had the same genetics, Brian is enjoying the peak of training and nutrition science. He is the strongest ever in my book, honorable mentions to Big Z and Fat Eddie.

[@AndrewDembouski]

2 minutes in and I’m already impressed. Your starting/easiest weight is my GOAL weight 😆 Always fun to watch these monsters go at it

[@AT-kt4wy]

*GREAT VIDEO BRAIN 👍🏼💪🏼*

It is hard not going heavy every time you step in the gym, good advice to stick to a plan with loading and de-loading stages. Don't want to burn your CNS out, good lifts!

So awesome .... love it

I always pay attention to full range motion and it always makes sense

[@hawnborn7497]

The strongman sport has to be the most selfless and humble sport. Where else will you find guys that you compete against train together and push each other to make each other better. Most sports wouldnt do this because you dont want your opponent to be better than you. This is the beautiful thing about this sport and why I love it so much

[@zeroplustv1052]

Hicks is an absolute freakin unit!

[@josephahrens862]

Hey Brian i know you have an apple with a meal might I recommend the cosmic crisps if you can find they are a cross between a honeycrisp and a fuji

[@TJPatriot74]

Brian brings the bar down to his chest whereas the guy in red brings it to face level.

[@jaysharp789]

Great session. Hicks in beast mode

[@909rhinox]

good stuff. see you got the Rogers squat.. tried it last week for 1st time. Felt little flexie with 12 plates per side. have you had a chance to put some real weight on it yet?

[@jorvarpowell6039]

Hicksy is looking freaking MASSIVE

[@michaelmullins1290]

3 of my favorites. All great attitudes and hard workers. Strong men, but Hicksy just blasting big weight. Poor Brian had to stay with the plan.

Wen it sounds like bells it means that today is a good day yeaaaaa buddy❤

[@timariaans1710]

Holy shit Hicksy is a good presser ! 💪🏼

[@TechnoRoxNG]

12:08 man his grip scares the shit out of me at that weight.

[@CraigNiel]

Probably due to it being a thick bar, can't get the thumb around but I know what you're saying. If that slips at that weight! Jeez!

[@e.c.9468]

I would load any weight with Brian spotting me

[@BMO_Creative]

[@AdamMarkZabel]

Awesome video! Can I ask about the different style/depth of reps Terry/Brian had for the shoulder press? Is one or the other the ‘correct/better’ movement? Thanks!

[@hulkslayer626]

I think Terry might have an injury/ache and was playing it safe. Not sure though...

[@scottmacgregor3444]

Terry had an arm injury last year. Probably rehabbing still at the point this vid was shot.
