[@CrouchingGrandpa]

plot twist: brian was the one who brought all of the sacks from the truck in to the building.

[@gundorstoneskin5900]

That's actually pretty funny, but he had an injury to his leg, that's why he didn't compete.

[@therealamerican99.76]

Lol

[@VAHOSS]

And he did it all in one trip

[@brandoncarter2708]

😂 💀

[@alechickman6155]

How else would they get it in?

[@meliboseiwaqa6026]

Was waiting 4 Nick to say "I own the world record in the shield carry..."

[@AnnoyingRko]

or "I'm old"

[@thechinmoydeka]

I am the oldest among the group

[@deione170]

"Im the oldest one here"

[@apallok54]

I'm the OG of the group

[@ayhamhuq2062]

I was 100% sure he would say that. And after he picked it up I was sure he was going to say something about his age.

[@GoofballLOL]

So awesome that they managed to get the entire population of Wyoming together for this event

[@mraminofficiel338]

As usual, NICK proved that he can overcome his old age. CONTINUE

[@pranav9932]

Sorry for sounding like a fun at the parties type of guy but you do realize it's staged (as in weights are real but they aren't actually competing against each other) and they are gonna let each other win including letting the older guy win. Especially him. For the feel good story.

[@ItsKrozohh]

Pranav Sai ???? are u dumb lol

[@ItsKrozohh]

Pranav Sai he’s won like once lol

[@wheelmanstan]

@Bigg Papa all these dudes are built a little differently and have their specialty I've noticed, but all have that winners mentality that seems almost impossible for them to dial back before getting an injury, when it comes to speed and strength Eddie is your guy, Nick has mind over matter like no other, Oburst is cocky but always willing to learn, Brian is a human tractor on a cold day

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

@Bigg Papa Loud mouth doesn´t always win? And yet here you are writing your whole comment with capslock lol.

[@SkrewYouHippie]

Eddy “I like my biceps the way they are” Weeks later tears his bicep.......

[@RYAN_4_]

Did he actually?

[@hush-615]

@@RYAN_4_ yes. Robert and Brian tore it this year doing Atlas Stones. Eddie suffered the same injury doing wrestling on his new show.

[@s.kh.819]

I was waiting for that comment

[@Biserbalkanski]

I did a three hundred pound one yesterday...never doing it again lol. serious dangerous plus I'm skinny . so awkward...took everything I had .

[@NickH-ku2jy]

And again this month

[@j0epark1]

This has become my favorite series as of late.

Yeah mine to

[@nutshell_]

IKR !

[@montaguegray7486]

for sure these dudes should be doing cars spaceships history stuff travel destinations....and then lifting stuff, they got real good vibes

[@aaronmauer7225]

Too bad it didn’t get renewed for a second season

[@liaades9452]

Same! Do you know where I can find the whole season? I don’t have television, so I’ve been YouTubing small clips!

[@havok8570]

I respect Eddie. He admitted sandbags are not his best lift and he put his wellbeing over his ego. Remember 400 pounds is 50 pounds heavier than brian has done at worlds strongest man

[@judahcoores7920]

Remember, during solo events, these contenders are able to put up extremely higher numbers. During comp however, they run a gambit of events, so it’s not ever a true test of how strong they are on any single event, but how strong they are cumulatively.

[@ayhamhuq2062]

I gained a lot of respect for Eddie after that. Even though I respect Nick for pushing so hard, he's probably going to get seriously hurt.

[@AdurxIsd]

it´s not like the show producers told him to back off to give the old man nick some stage time..

[@diegoherrera6151]

@gjaddajg its just as you say, with some effort he could have probably do it, but like he said he doesnt want to risk injury

[@calebthacker9654]

Diego herrera he couldn’t do it someone with his ego would never let someone out do him on purpose ever

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

I lifted a 400 lb sack too after no nut november.

[@dgkisuke6758]

xXAlmdudlerXx let’s hope all of us can survive another month

[@sideshow32]

Me too but after abstinence April, that was one tough month

[@dio8440]

I am preparing for next nnn, hopefully i can surpass it this time 🙄

[@Caden_kowal]

Underrated comment lmao

[@CMXR]

I dont think i can make it this year boys....

[@strongside4565]

Can we just take a second to appreciate how much of a beast Nick is regardless of being 15 years older than any of these guys?

[@mikeisaac3826]

Ikr, most likely none of them are going to be as strong as he is at his age. People aren’t really giving him as much credit as he should, but when he passes away everyone is going to be talking about him, and how he kept on going.

[@Spazmonkeyorange]

yes. yes we can.

[@jakemustian99]

Well i mean come on. Nick has had more years of practice. JK these guys are all beasts

[@hugostiglitz5713]

you know...he's the world record holder in the shield carry....he'll tell ya LOL

[@bustercherry8734]

3:07 Good thing Nick took it easy with that high five. Being as pumped as he was, he could of broken that old guys arm off.

[@itsvolts1434]

Eddie hall: picking up this sand bag is really dangerous Says the man who picked up 500kg and bleed to death

[@Spazmonkeyorange]

That's part of why he knows it.

[@GOLDENCHEESE34]

also the deadlift made him a ton of money from betting, no one is betting on these bag carries.

[@6ix4hemi]

I wanted to see Brian lift it

[@lucasandersson5238]

I think he was injured when they filmed this

[@inutilia4610]

Yeah Brian was injured in the tire flip also.

[@bluecollarcommentator7772]

@RO3 I can, he's doing the work

[@robsnook4512]

lil mercutio just cause you do the work doesn’t mean you’re the top

[@najarro1731]

RO3 he has way to much injuries that keep messing himself up I’m sure he could have won one if he could but these injuries are holding him back

[@ottovuorio382]

It was crazy. I can't even bench press 400lbs, and this guy is carrying it like a stray dog.

[@johnbloom1109]

To be fair it's less impressive for Oberst because he weighs a lot more than the older gentleman and is a lot younger.
