EQUIPMENT TESTING | DUBAI DAY 2 | BRIAN SHAW

[@ConnorLipke]

Seeing how much you all respect each other is heart warming. Seems like in other sports and even body building, that respect isn't really there. I really enjoyed seeing all these guys outside of what I've seen on espn.

[@Grant-vk6zo]

I enjoyed seeing that as well. Shook everyone's hands and said hello. Rare to see mutual respect these days sadly.

[@dmaxm2498]

It’s not a surprise! Every time anyone of those guys makes a video they always express how much they honor each other and the camaraderie between them and the respect! Maybe you’re new to this sport, because they’ve always been that way. Even dating back till when it was on TV once in a great while in the 90s.

[@jacobygreenwood]

That's because this sport has its roots back on the golden era of the 80's, with characters like Capes, Sigmarsson, Nummisto, Wolders, MaGee, Grizzly, etc. Since then and even way back on the 70's all te contestants of WSM (and the rest of major strongman competitions) were really nice people, very respectful, cheerful and even funny. Nowadays we have a more sterile kind of interaction but the camaraderie is still there.

[@bangermccrusher]

Cuz no one here is a pussy

[@pentagramyt417]

Because in strongman people respect the other's people power. Like, they know there are much stronger people than themselves. But in bodybuilding everyone wants to be the best / most cutted / most respected etc... That's narcistic sport so they don't evet let their mind to tell "you are not the best". Cause they would take another tons of roids, to prove they are. That's sad sport (bodybuilding)...

[@andrewguerra9236]

I think it's cool how all the top strongmen know each other, they're like yeah we're pal's, .....but I'm going to beat you

[@AlsatianK9]

it's pretty much the same 10-15 guys at every event at that level of strongmen competition

[@Mr.M1STER]

The competition would be toxic if the men were bitchy towards one another. It's healthy for the competition I think if all the guys get along.

[@caesar4237]

And even more the fact that they often train with each other

[@Yung_Hefty]

@@Mr.M1STER yeah but they don't always get along. Robert Oberst and Eddie Hall don't get along.

[@anthonyharding6051]

@Baxter James Mateuz Keiliezkowski is definitely a top contender now. I actually think he will reign supreme for a long time in the near future. Dude is only 24 keeping up with the best already

[@crabme4t]

The amount of testosterone in that room combined was almost as much as what Steve Irwin had.

[@bas17h4]

They're making a TV show about his family

[@michaellee9883]

Holy sh*t. This is the funniest thing I have read in a while.

[@martinnilsson5295]

[@JrFireweb]

@@michaellee9883 funny and sad at the same time

[@sprgary]

crickey!

[@BeepyBeepus]

Would pay to watch Eddie and Brian banter

[@supernoodles908]

Eddie came to my university to do a talk last year :) it was really good

[@kenny187ful]

Brian when are you getting Eddie on the videos?

[@MAGAMAN]

He just did!

[@kenny187ful]

MAGA MAN meant on the podcast, grocery shopping, etc

[@BrianPellerin]

That would be cool

[@ivenstorm]

From what I've heard in interviews Eddie is pretty much finished with competing. From what he's said, his body is starting to break down and his blood pressure is through the roof, so he's been trying to cut down and get back to a healthy weight/blood pressure. Now he is just going around to different shows for meet and greets. I could be wrong though. He has lost a tremendous amount of weight, I think he's down 100 lbs or so.

[@BOZAK115]

He's supposed to make a comeback at either Britan's Strongest, or UK's Strongest man.

[@Phoebonaccii]

I just love seeing eddi and Brian

[@DennisGr]

well that's a slim and trim eddie hall if i've ever seen one. great video brian, you always seem like the worlds kindest and strongest man. please take back the title!

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

Did you see his post on Facebook? Holy hell, he's shredded! Looks absolutely amazing.

[@ronaldov09]

@@RyanJacksonElectrical I guess your definition of shredded differs from mine.

[@RyanJacksonElectrical]

@@ronaldov09 Okay. Fucking guy has a six pack. Nobody cares what your definition is.

[@ghost081976]

Best of luck Brian. I am praying for you to do well. Great video on showing us the behind the scenes.

[@Fortress333]

I see Eddie is doing well; he looks really happy and much healhier. I wish you all the best before, during, and after the competition, Brian. Have fun and I think you will do well. BE GREAT. Greets from The Netherlands.

[@BigPawTivald]

This freakin sport is so pure. The MMA tough guy crap drives me nuts. All these guys wanna be the best but still wish the best for their brother next to em.

[@tylersanders5622]

Then stop watching MMA if you don't want to see fighters hype a fight and kill each other. This comment is stupid

[@Wrightae92]

Sean Tivald such a mma casual. Stfu already

[@Yung_Hefty]

I like both sports but you must be stupid. It's only some of these new guys coming into the UFC. You're not a real UFC fan if you haven't seen the brotherhood within it. One example Mat Serra and Din Thomas. You haven't seen a pure sport till you see two guys beat the shit out of each other then hug and cry not because you lost but because your brother just won and you couldnt be more proud of him, and happy for him.

[@kanenav]

maybe it has something to do with the fact one of these sports involve the two of em throwing punches to each other...

[@gt350dude8]

@ UFC and fighters didnt need hype to sell their earlier events. Without McGregor UFC would be in big trouble. Joe Rogan even said each year for the last 3 years they've lost 11% of their viewership.

[@scott3009]

Brian is Mr. Thorough, never leaves anything to chance and always studying his craft. This is one of the reasons he's the best and so successful because he's all in. Really don't think most of the other strongman are this cerebral and thorough in their approach, and without question this gives him a little edge on the competition imo. Best of luck Brian!! Bring the championship home.

[@oak6845]

It's completely unbelievable that every strongman competition has to be held in hottest parts of the Earth, the guys lose strength due to dehydration and the sheer heat. Anyway Big Brain all our best goes with you, bring home the trophy and that big payday. Your brothers in Louisiana!!!

[@93NissanAltima]

I was thinking the same thing, especially this year's WSM being in the Phillippines. But at Dubai it looks like a few events were at night so I'm hoping it cooled as the competition went on

[@XxALIAHMEDxX]

OAK acutally the weather was good on friday

[@TheMetalhed82]

This time of the year, the climate is not that hot compared to the other months, it starts turning cold towards December and some of the events I feel are going to be held at night so I guess it will be fine..

[@stoneeh]

If I had a dollar for everytime someone misspells "Brian" for "Brain".

[@badronali649]

They are promoting this kind of competition.

[@illpro2]

Was watching the workers during the shield lift. lol.

[@Mr.M1STER]

Thanks for bringing us along Brian. I love how you entered that meeting and greeted every man in there. You are a classy man Brian.

[@PeteBFC]

I was at this event and was routing for Brian. Was such a great day. These guys are beasts but so down to earth.

[@stefanluger7752]

thank you so much for filming and uploading all this content despite having such a great contest with very big named contestants. so interesting and fun to watch. thanks again and have fun beating the other big guys!

[@Echo-Magnus]

Thank you for this Brian and Crew. This was and has been a badass look behind the scenes. I don't know that fans of Strongman have ever got an inside look before, especially not over the shoulder of a competitor. Sincerely, thank you.

[@devillarratt4134]

You rock Brian. A true role model and professional

[@erikmidboe146]

[@huaweiandroid125]

Ohh man, in Dubai they sure know how to spend the money!!! The location looks freaking awesome!!! The event looks like it's going to be amazing!!

[@ItMeRishi]

Lil Lol Damn son, what type of hate inspired you to write this comment? Dubai is a city born from nothing, now housing some of the modern wonders in the world. If you knew anything about the city, you would know how much more exists.

[@ItMeRishi]

Lil Lol Also, it seems like you have a fucking hard time with deserts there mate, what the fuck did deserts do to you?

[@ItMeRishi]

Lil Lol I myself am from Dubai. I don’t have a maid, we have a cleaner who comes every other day because people who work long hours cannot clean homes every day. Maybe you mean the Emiratis themselves are assholes, which is true to some extent. Also, they are not animal abusers. My Arab friends love animals, and as for me? I’m sleeping and my dog is at my feet in bed

[@ItMeRishi]

Lil Lol Bruh, what the fuck do you do everyday watching that type of shit. I’m sure these videos are of fucked up people but 99% are not doing this kinda shit bro. Just like 99% of Dubai does not have a super car

[@ItMeRishi]

Lil Lol I certainly don’t work for 50 dirhams an hour. And I grew up here, meaning I have tons of experience with Emiratis. Some are assholes, some aren’t, just like the teenagers in the rest of the world. At the end of the day, this is their country, and immigrants vastly out number them, which is why they have government aid and benefts

[@thomasholland6291]

[@kawilifezx10r23]

Looks like strongman is starting to the leaner route now. Or they've found a new roid that keeps them as strong. Whatever the case is im curious to see how this will affect the shows. 1000lb deadlifts are becoming common now. Was the case 5-10 years ago.
