AGE IS NO LIMITATION FT. NICK BEST | SHAW STRENGTH PODCAST EP.4

[@dylanpritchard4981]

Would love a podcast episode with you, Nick, Eddie and Robert where you talk about all the behind the scenes stuff from the History channel show. Maybe even a watch a long? 😎

[@aidangriffiths5075]

That would just be mayhem 😂 and amazing

[@jesusjaimes6987]

We need more episodes of these dudes together !

[@bigbiscuit4968]

They wouldn't get any real talking done! Let's do it haha

[@MotoGinji]

It would be eddy and brian saying "you're done..." while oberst is laughing and nick is thinking "what did i get myself into again"

[@Chad442]

That would be awesome! And to bring back the show!!!!!

[@coreylarose1596]

Loving this podcast. I think they should bring Nick in as a honorary guest at the Shaw classic.

​@@6A6-n2g You're speaking from personal experience

[@Jeffyinthehills]

@@6A6-n2gI am on trt and sometimes I get emotional as well. I am sure I look funny as hell because I am a big guy and rough looking but there are times when emotions overtake me. I lost my mom, went through a divorce, and lost my dad all within 5 1/2 months. I spent a good bit of time alone teary eyed. I have never shown sadness but this past year I have been emotional. I am 58 and just started lifting again but I have many injuries including a shoulder replacement. Gains will be slow

[@Rocker3829]

1:15:41 "why are you going to save for retirement if you're not gonna invest in your body?" That's a great line.

Thank you. Thank you so much for this. At the age of 46 I recently told a coworker “I need to lose some weight.” He replies “we have a gym at our other site 3 miles from here. Let’s start going together after work.” Two months in, and down 15 pounds, I’m starting to search for a local strength training coach so I can enter my first weight lifting competition as a novice. Every day I push myself to get better, to “be the best me I can”; to make today count. Age is just a number. Thank you for that.

[@PipleZiple]

Whats your favorite barbell lift?

[@shawnwark7776]

@@PipleZiple I’m loving the bench press and deadlifts right now. It feels like every week is just a little better than the last. Squats seem to be a bit troublesome lately as I’m trying to figure out the cause of some ankle pain. I can’t quite nail down if it’s a mobility issue in the ankle or a slight lift of my heal at the bottom that’s the cause.

[@PipleZiple]

@@shawnwark7776 Nice! Ohp and deads are my favorites. Hmm maybe shoes? Most shoes suck and probably aren't right for the individual? Also maybe change up style of squat form stance n stuff see if any feel better. Strength training is awesome.

Great episode. Nick is a very emotional, rooted man. Seems like a good friend

[@CollinThomasEverett]

I'd be really sad if we didn't get to see Strongest Man in History be brought back, I seriously enjoyed that season so much. Binged it 3x in the pandemic. I'd watch season after season of it.

[@Mirriam02]

@Collin Everett, I agree! I would love to see the unaired footage of that show, can you imagine how funny & awesome that would be?? **Be Great**

[@davidmark7785]

[@tfsgroi]

Someone needs to pick this up because it’s epic

[@patricksullivan217]

Great interview I really liked how you had him take us back to the beginning of Nicks lifting. It’s so great to hear this about the beginning of their journey

[@fredmann5019]

This is super inspiring. I'm 43 and still trying to make gains. Started letting again at 40 right before the start of covaids. I'm 5'8"ish around 230. A lot of weight I could probably lose. I always wished I could bench 300. A couple weeks ago I put up 345. My squat is now over 400 and my deadlift sucks. Thanks to all you guys giving old guys hope!!!

[@fredmann5019]

Sorry I cut part of the comment off. If it weren't for the motivation I get from people like Brian and Nick, I would never have gotten this far. Y'all keep me hungry thinking I still can do more.

[@jooshualewis1872]

Strong af dude I’m 18 been going to the gym for 14 months and can’t even bench body weight lol

345 with only 2 years of training? That is awesome man, youll be hitting 400 no doubt.

[@junemcgowan4579]

The intensity of emotions emanating from Nick........what a beautiful friend is he.

His estrogen could be high from being on TRT or a steroid cycle. Happens to me.... 😭

[@mattfawcett4917]

Nick’s got such a heart of gold. Love listening to him any chance I get

[@Mikesalwaysatwork]

I love these guys...eversince I was little I use to go to Sacramento, down by commerce and actually enjoy watching strongman...man I heard that gods the best.

[@handro33]

This is the best podcast I've heard. I'm currently 43 and started to take powerlifting more serious at 42 and swapped to strongman 11 weeks ago. I feel lost worry that I'm "crazy" but its something that brings joy to me and is almost therapeutic. Thank you for sharing these thoughts Brian and Nick.

[@msstroh]

This mindset is the best.

[@irvingzisman3252]

Nick has won every contest we’ve never seen.

[@SmokinMoaksBBQ]

I'm very impressed with Brian's interviewing skills. What a great podcast!

[@HaggisDruid]

He's a good listener and knows how to guide a conversation with his questions. Knows what the listeners are curious about. I'm glad he decided to start a podcast, there are plenty of hosts that either interrupt too often or just don't stay on track as much.

[@berzerkbankie1342]

This what a great Shawcast and I will definitely watch any time Nick comes back.

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

Nick is such a sincere person, he cares deeply about people and his tearing up is a sign of that. You can see he’s made some great bonds in his life.

[@iandoyle238]

Nick is a real junkyard dog, he may not be the baddest dude but this guy is an absolute unit that is consistently badass. Shows up as an alternate on short notice and still does great. Pure class, this guy is part of what makes strongman today so great

[@ianc7713]

I have to say that this podcast and message inspires me, a 27 year old, to get back to the gym and reach new levels. After not lifting throughout my bachelors degree and getting back injury due to a lack of core strength, it just goes to show that lifting needs to be a staple in my life. Thank you guys for the motivation!

[@jlogan2228]

Something I respect Abt Nick so much is he is not afraid to be emotional when something touches him. And that's a valuable thing to see such a big strong guy being unembarrassed Abt getting choked up talking about a dear close friend of his

[@DeRock401]

TWO OF MY FAVS

[@Slasher1331]

Mr. Best is an inspiration! Legendary.

[@leighparsons9997]

Food for thought. Maybe strongman competitions should now have age divisions and overall competitions. This way more people can compete and enjoy the sport more. I want to see a 70 year old Nick Best doing this!

[@MrCsteele31]

Nick has inspired me for sure. This man is so humble and real. Same with Brian, learning from these guys has done so much for me. Not just lifting. But life I'm general.

[@Jeffyinthehills]

As a 58 year old man, Nick is an incredible inspiration. Long live the Best

[@andrewchisholm3665]

Absolutely brilliant and as if we the viewers were just listening to two friends shooting the breeze. I have always watched WSM on the TV in Scotland over Christmas, weird I know but it's always been broadcast then, and loved watching it. Last year the Giants Live tour came to Glasgow and I got to see it up close and it was just amazing, got my tickets for this year already booked. I am very partially sighted due to treatment for eye cancer and bi lateral glaucoma but hopefully going to get back to the gym, using resistance bands at home just now. Oh and eh I am a photographer so I took a lot of photos at the Glasgow show and Colin Bryce said I even made him look thin😂😂😂

[@chadw6864]

Alright! Nick Best on the show, this is going to be great!

[@posterchild8486]

I'm older than Nick, nowhere near his level and he certainly inspires me. And now I've got an even softer spot for the guy after this interview.

[@tapioperala3010]

Before summer 2021 I was struggling with what I actually wanted with my training. Part of me wanted to do some bodybuilding, but some wanted more strength-based training. I talked to myself about this, and went for strength. It's always been more "me". But it was Nick Best who actually made me think about strongman competitions. Now, at the age of 39, weighing at around 94 kg and standing at 160 cm tall (something like 5'4", maybe?) *and* having asthma that needs medical attention, I'm working my ass off to get into shape to compete in Finnish u100 kg strongman competition. I know that it'll take me a couple more years to get into the strength-range needed to actually make an appearance, but I will be on the highest podium at some point. Nick is my idol and inspiration. Age is just a number. It's all about attitude and will.

Back in the early 80's we rode bikes everywhere everyday. And way 230 all through High School and up untill I was 26 years old when I started gaining a lot of weight.
