I met him at a local gym once. He was just trying to get a workout in while out of town. Everyone swarmed him. He didn’t get upset once. Smiled and greeted each person like a friend. Then watched him fist bump someone with a 80lbs dumbbell in his hand at full extension. I’ll never forget that

[@kingturtle1000]

[@muriloninja]

Brian Shaw is a true badass of Strongman. I have never once seen him not willing to share knowledge or show an ego to anyone. He has trained with Bodybuilders to Crossfit, to Average dudes and he is as humble as can be. To me that is a sign of a true master!

[@saint_pyre]

as an aging powerlifter, this helped a great deal.

[@g18886]

Keeping back angle the same until bar clears the knees, not lifting hips first, chest out with upper back locked in position are all key. One problem I had and most people have is getting the hamstrings loosened up enough to get into good position. This requires stretching 2 or 3 times a day and using squats to help get the hamstrings stretched out. When I first got into good form it felt like I could pull 100 lbs more than before.

[@robwalk1335]

The info in this video is GOLD! To hear a Strongman say it’s okay to step back and lose the ego while lifting is amazing! I’m a huge fan of both these dudes!

[@getstrongby4038]

The only problem with this Jonathan, lifting more weight doesn't necessarily mean you had better technique. The reason I say that is because a lot of time when weight gets too heavy you can generally finish the rep if you let your form break down

[@Wogunder66]

I think Obi should consult Martins about his hip mobility. Martin's seams to be the expert on that stuff.

[@Zackary_]

I have no PhD in this matter and am no strongman, but from personal experience with 7+ years of lifting 4+ days a week, I find the same thing as Brian. If my mobility isn't QUITE there to get into proper form for a lift, I will make it easier on myself (ex. stacking the pads under the weights like he mentioned at 9:08), and work on extra mobility work; I often sub out a lifting day for a full mobility day. For me, I found this allowed me to strengthen my mobility, while getting used to the exact form I need in a deadlift or other exercise. As my mobility got stronger, I was able to lower those "cheats" until I had no extra help or anything. Sometimes, especially with mobility, I have found slowly working up to something is the best way to progress, rather than making it harder on yourself to force you into positions more quickly. Great video!

[@andrewshraga7301]

Much less chance of hurting yourself as well ... Damage can be permanent for the sake of not wanting to look "weak" for random strangers who are actually not paying any attention to you most of the time... Training for longevity over short term is much more important ...

[@thebigdezshow8971]

If you struggle to get to the floor your problem is mobility mate. Slowly lowering the bar down on pads from session to session does nothing to fix that. You need to allow your thoracic spine to bed to how it suits you and change your deadlift stance. Carry on with added mobility and go and watch MST systems video debunking the bunch of nonsense said in this video
