Bodybuilder Tries Strongman DIET & TRAINING | Brian Shaw's 5,500+ CALORIE FAT LOSS DIET

Welcome to today's video! After watching Brian Shaw's recent video on his new 5,500 calorie fat loss diet, I was inspired to give it a try myself as well as try some of the staple strongman training movements. Coming from such a bodybuilding/ powerlifting background, it was a huge adjustment for me but I had a great time learning!
Throughout this vlog I go through each of Brian's 5 meals and give my honest opinion on it.
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching! 👊🏻

What's wrong with using cup measurements to track portions? The LAST thing I want to do is get out the pencil and paper and track calories. I mean, shit, Eugene Sandow didn't. He just did portion control with bland, healthy foods.

[@truthbetold8233]

@@ChristAliveForevermore why would you need a pencil? Most people track calories on their phones in 2021, and a kitchen scale would nullify the need to track anything. As for cup measurements, Greg Doucette did a video on tracking, recently, that highlighted the lack of universal consistency in terms of what constitutes a cup.

[@chrisremi6526]

I don't really have a favorite cutting food. The way I set up my diet is that I build my meals around my maintenance calories. Then, if I'm cutting I just lower my carb intake to meet my calories and vice versa. I always eat 1g of protein per cm of height at minimum, 0.5g of fat per cm of height, and just play with carbs to fit my calorie intake. Then, if I'm bulking, I just eat my maintenance meal plan, then add a 200-400 calorie snack before bed of whatever I want because I already hit my macros for the day and it's a nice way to have a fun treat every night. I guess though, for cutting, I would have to say sweet potatoes are one I like to use in general. I LOVE the taste and they are nutrient rich and pretty filling for the most part. Potatoes in general are good, but I find most potatoes very boring to eat, but sweet potatoes are much more enjoyable to eat IMO.

[@lukelyon1781]

I literally just do a ton of cardio to cut. I actually get to get away with eating more since I need more energy to run/swim/cycle/row that much.

[@samg7056]

Every time I see Will lift, I love how great his form is. Since you have a background in personal training, would you ever consider making a video about how to keep good form for newbie lifters?

[@arjanpetersen]

Quite easy... don’t overcomplicate. Just train a bit harder than last time. After a few years come back and improve etc

[@Alan-di5kq]

Don't grab too much

[@TheBobinn]

Leave the ego, go light with proper form, next week a tad bit more with proper form and so on, when your form breaks down you are too weak for that weight

[@zachconant7031]

Lift as much as you can, pick the weight up off the ground, pull as much weight as humanly possible, push more weight than you ever have before don’t worry about screaming joints just move the weight whatever way you can. After a few months you never have to worry about working out again.

[@reiniel.rafael]

Since I'm from the Philippines, Will's video is either the first or last thing I get to watch in a day. It comes to the point I'm excited to wake up early for Friday and Monday mornings. I guess the biggest way Will's video inspires me is to learn how to cook, and many more lessons about training and life. I'm still 17 and I got an entire life ahead of me, but it's awesome to learn these things before young adulthood. I just wanted to show my appreciation for your work, Will!

[@whitekj03]

White Rice works for me on a cut. I focus more on my feeding window. I fast in the evenings and mornings, have white rice with both of my meals during the day. I definitely fill out my bowl with greens for higher volume eating along with whatever my protein is. Two giant bowls of rice, greens, and a protein source keeps me satiated and I get to eat until it's nauseating and still lose weight. White rice is also super easily digested which for me is huge.

[@boydmccollum692]

Great video. The SSB is a great variation for the squat. I think the incline db bench is more for front delts and triceps than chest. But working chest is a good supplemental exercise for strongman. I'd recommend the SSB bar over a log if you're going to supplement your home gym. The SSB is great for preserving the elbows too. You mentioned the vertical diet with the cardio. Brian Shaw in 2019 or 2018 did a year of the vertical diet with Stan Efferding. So the cardio is a hold over from that. Also, that's probably where the rice came from - Stan says the white rice is a great carb source, but also easily digestible, which is important with the amount of carbs you're eating to maintain 300-400+ lbs. The cutting aspect of the diet isn't the rice, it's just the amount of calories. It's funny that Brian is so specific about asparagus, where an extra few, or tens, of grams makes little difference, but is okay eyeballing rice. I've seen him remove a blueberry after weighing it, like "I failed my diet because of an extra blueberry" is a real concern. lol
