A big congrats to the person(s) that constructed that machine that allows the barrels to drop down. Great innovation!!!!!!!!

[@syndrome5372]

I thought it was dumb until I saw how they reset the weights to the top bit. It's actually really clever

[@CeeWorld69]

@@syndrome5372of course you would think it’s dumb just because 😂🤣, you KZbin trolls are hilarious

[@baronr.junior8628]

​@@CeeWorld69 You the only one trolling. How ironic. I also thought it was dumb until i realized the efficacy of reloading the weights. Nothing wrong with that at all get a life bro stop trolling

[@gitsurfer27]

Strongmen events are missing chest exercises, i'm glad to finally see something related to chest

[@ezradanger]

Because there aren't many practical uses of raw chest strength.

[@moa3821]

because of pec tear risk

[@gitsurfer27]

@@ezradanger I don't believe that to be true, you could say the same for core strength if that's your reasoning. You don't use your core to lift, so its unimportant. Theres a reason powerlifting uses bench, and theres a reason most strongmen don't have a high bench. Meaning in certain movements (fundamental ones) powerlifters are stronger, so calling these people the strongest on earth can't be true if that's the case. They're only the strongest in certain movements. Strongman evolves all the time, we need to start adding chest movements if we're really gonna gauge overall strength.

[@ezradanger]

@@gitsurfer27 Strongman doesn't have any events that isolate core strength, as far as I'm aware.

[@gitsurfer27]

@@ezradanger Carrying and unloading, and a lot of the lifting all require core strength. You can't stabilize a 1000lb yoke without serious core strength.

[@Ryan-wx1bi]

I love how Brian put so much effort into the apparatus. The fact your size doesnt make a difference is great.

[@davidepapi5178]

I instead don't love how loose the regulations on equipment are. I mean come on, Brian's "sleeves" look like an anti-explosion lining. He still would have beaten everybody but he could barely wear them. Took them immediately off before taling the mic 😂 Apparatus is very impressive tho

[@Vipinnnn17]

I mean strongman doesn't really care what you use, there are very minimum limitations. ​@@davidepapi5178

[@noobXd3stroyer]

Just rewatching these have been getting me so hyped for this years event! Can’t wait

[@hooskerdoo3130]

I would like to see them put like an animated brian shaw up at the top like donkey Kong like it goes to look like it grabs a keg and turns like it's sending it down. Idk I think it would add a little something.

[@deltalima6703]

Eddie should be the beast feeding the barrels. ;-)

[@intellivisionmaster7999]

Yes

[@tbauer2521]

Severely underrated comment

[@danamullins2723]

Great idea

[@nneekolas]

The Strongman event is you throw the barrels down. The Crossfit event is you are Mario and need to make it to the top.

[@ImranKhan-bs8zx]

Brian Shaw the giant with a humble & soft down to earth personality.. Hats off Legend... Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ftargr]

Great event! More static pressing makes a better show than loading race after loading race!

[@bryanadkins2944]

Lmao thats a VERY odd opinion

[@jordangroff8978]

I love how the GOAT of powerlifting Ed Coan is judging.

[@ManofLowMoralFiber]

Absolutely incredible apparatus. Shame that Brian was injured. I love this event.

[@user-strength10]

fact though he was injured but still pushed through to the end and still took first, thats something you only hear about in tales and legends, brians also in a position to help the sport of strongman along to the next level for guys like the stoltmans and hooper, etc, it is sad shaw retired when he still had a few yr's left in him but it's understandable too

[@Ryan-wx1bi]

The fact it was able to adjust for each person's size and have the same leverage is awesome. He really did amazing getting that thing out together

[@roman-om2fh]

@@Ryan-wx1bii mean its gonna b eazier the wider the grip

[@danamullins2723]

​@@roman-om2fh I agree, I think the machine is still biased based on the person's height and shoulder/grip width. You can tell this if you watch closely when the different size contestants lift.

[@espenstoro]

I love this crazy rig.

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

[@Vokalplus]

does anyone know how much each barrel weigh? and how much the machine weigh empty? edit: starts empty at 395, and all 8 barrels at 575, that makes a total added weight of 180. so each barrel weigh 22.5 lbs. Please correct me if this is wrong.

[@EshanSinghNegi]

Absolutely correct as far as i know👍

[@ArchiveRagtagMoe]

10kg so you're about right at 22.5lbs.

[@zackdisharoon6239]

They don’t go up in equal increments

[@robinsailo5652]

[@CeeWorld69]

Each barrel is NOT 22.5 lbs wtf lol, 22.5 lbs is the size of a small dumbbell 😂

Congratulations big Brian on the big win! So glad you are still pushing!!!

[@adamticehurst6386]

brian shaw top bloke heart gos out to him top man well done

[@krossxeye660]

This was one of the most metal things at the shaw classic. I was in a middle row but the loud "CLUNK-CLANG-THUMP" of this machine was awesome. Add that to the fact this was such a different event from many strongman staples that tests an entirely different muscle group and you have a recipe for hype.

[@bruceMooseman]

What an awesome event!! Love it! So much strongman events benefit very tall large guys, its kinda fun to see an event that doesn't really matter.

[@user-cx4ll4rj1t]

This is brilliant - I have never seen anything like it before in a strongman competition. It will mean another set of skills these giants will have to train for. Exceptional effort, especially from the smaller men. Innovation has worked well here. Loved it. Brain Shaw is the man.

[@josephhodges9819]

And to think that they said Brian Shaw created this machine. I bet the staff who reset weights or have to increase weights in between reps are happy with this contraption.

[@LordFred69]

Great video!

[@lm-usmc]

The machine would have to jam up on Brian. Looking forward to this years comp!

[@hulkslayer626]

Honestly, I'm glad it jammed on him rather than anyone else. Just to keep drama out of the event. Amazing effort!

[@josephhodges9819]

LOL, I think if it had come down to time ad not reps then they would have owed him about 8 seconds.

[@rexpayne7836]

Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊 Brian killed it. 👍

[@bradygamble214]

Loved the what im calling the DK Barrel lift

[@Tpike777]

I dont understand why like NONE of them took some time to rest. Theyd be 4 or 5 barrells in with over a minute left and would immediately press the next one..even after severly struggling with the last. In some cases rest coulda got em that next barrell perhaps, no?

[@williamdavis3590]

Yeah I asked myself the same question. Only thing I could think of is that maybe the scoring is different for this event? No clue tbh

[@Zekschwein]

well since no one took the rest its not like anyone got an advantage someone else didnt get, so basically as if it wasnt allowed to begin with

[@danielmytryk8906]

At even barrels wins the fastest

[@ArchiveRagtagMoe]

If several finish on the same number of barrels, the fastest gets the highest points.

[@MuggsisGune]

I love strongman implements like this. What a feat of engineering. Props to the designer and builders.

You know that people will remember you when you create your own competition such as the Shaw classic and people do not think of it is a joke and genuinely want to come to it.

[@thepgguy.9343]

strongmen don't train the bench that much so lifting this amount of weights without any chest training is really impressive

[@ytsux9259]

Lol! They train chest press all the time.

[@thepgguy.9343]

@@ytsux9259 no they don't most of them don't bench that heavy you have to understand that powerlifting training and strongmen training both are entirely different

[@Charlton2010]

Brian Shaw once told Eddie he never trained arms which is crazy when you look at the size of his biceps and forearms

[@whatthe3504]

@@thepgguy.9343 bench and chest press are two different things you dont need to bench alot to do chest press its literally an isolated exercise that doesnt even require you to balance the weight. they literally have them doing chest press because you can not train for it and still have far less chance at injury compared to bench press.

[@DisDatK9]

​@ytsux9259 note also its a STANDING chest press, which is absolutely not something they train for. Just think about the mechanism of action in the body, you are no longer pushing the weight "up" against gravity, but "forward" with gravity acting perpendicular. Its a very different movement regardless of whether they train bench/chest or not.

[@RichNH1]

Bro this is dope. Chest in strong man 💯💯💪

[@pepperspray7386]

would like a graphic to tell us what the weight of each rep is.

[@joshuamorrison8332]

The starting arm angle seems like it would make a big difference. I know they measured things but there are clearly much different starting arm angles between lifters.

[@Poppyandfly123]

Brian is the man.

[@combinemax]

Only thing that needs some work is overall look of the stage, some smoke and lights should make it more interesting visually

[@user-id5fo5fv8r]

Ed Coan was impressed with Brians performance 😅

[@roman-om2fh]

brian has the advantage cuz he actually has power

[@danielbyl2967]

Got to give it up to the guy making sure the machine is working smoothly after each of the competitors. Benching 365 lb after each guy.

[@351corty]

Just dropped in to watch humble Brian take it home.

[@user-gc3yb7fv1q]

Finally, one event for chest.

[@Velly_drums]

Looks like this event benefits the shorter guys, taller guys see like they are doing a declines bench press instead of flat. Those who build this machine did a great job!!

[@besmith1975]

Brian Shaw is a beast.

[@KydenBufect]

That was Ed Coan the short guy with the whistle and the untucked shirt. The Greatest Powerlifter of All Time. He did lifts at 220 and 240lbs 30 years ago that most of these monsters would struggle with today. Also one of the coolest guys you could ever meet...

[@TSIXGaming]

very cool reload

[@Vipinnnn17]

the graphics can be improved so we don't have to wait for the announcer to know the weights or the number of reps a person is on

[@gitsurfer27]

You'de think that would be basic, also not having to wait 5 mins between lifter would be a lot more engaging.

[@davidepapi5178]

Now I know why Brian is so good at his own competition. Statics not only favor his body type, but he basically created a whole company to give himself an unfair advantage in equipment. His sleeves are ridiculous. He didn't even need such sleeves, he won by a country mile

Not sure why more guys didn't use the full two minutes to give an all-out effort on their respective last rep. Several guys, if not most guys, had around 45 seconds they could have rested before going for their last rep.
