LEVAN ON BRIAN SHAW'S PROGRESS!!

Wut? ​@@wernerbro3208

[@yannickcolot2319]

yea if his body is still healthy he can be top 10. he is starting at 42 i dont know if he can beat athletes that are also super gifted. people dont realize that levan hand and wrist is way bigger than Brian for example. I dont think Brian will beat people like Ermes, Levan Vitaly, Georgi, Devon, and MIchael Todd, also Jerry. the others for sure. you need years to get there and time is not on his side

[@thatguyfrommaine4400]

All of them, I agree. They used to have armwrestling in WSM, would be nice to bring it back so that these top tier strength athletes start filtering over to Pro armwrestling.

[@GuiAntonioli]

Brian is a fkn powerhouse, he will be top tier in 3 years, mark my words. Dude is too big and has the BEST mindset there is for being a champion.

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

You hit the nail on the head man. 100% correct.

[@theloopguardiansaxies8094]

Exactly

[@theloopguardiansaxies8094]

Everybody needs no brain to come up with this judgement. Brian Shaw is a phenomenal freak of nature. He'll be on top fosho.

[@kingie66]

Nah, big guys get tired too fast, thats why they need to compensate with quick power surge. I know that Strongmen practice endurance a lot, but thats whole body thing, not pronation/supination oriented endurance. And building speed at 40s is too late, ship is gone already. But once he build armwrestling specific endurance, then 5-10th place maybe.

[@jbsc97]

Brian is genetically gifted but 3 years definitely is a short amount of time to reach the highest level

[@jornauduboris3196]

Larry lacked forearm, wrist and hand. Always knew that. He's more of a strong LIFT guy.

[@harleyzeth]

Forearms and calves are the only two body parts where Larry isn't gifted

[@CamS-de4zs]

Larry is also kinda dumb lol and people took advantage of that

[@fanfam]

​@@CamS-de4zs Never call people stupid because they just let things pass without doing something against it. Calling other people stupid is the one thing that defines a low IQ person. And in your case you don't even know the guy that makes it even worse.

[@WatcherMania7]

​@@CamS-de4zs yes. I could tell this because he would struggle for a long time to learn the technique, despite having lots of great teachers. Also he's too nice to fight for position in the setup like he should...

[@Dunce...]

Brian is also known for his grip strength in strongman - Fx eddies 3 lifts r all better than Brians, but brian is much better in grip stuff than eddie fx, thats on of brians peak muscle groups

[@MrR9999]

Brian is one of the top three strongest humans to ever walk the planet. He's also humble and willing to work. Everyone except Brian is getting way ahead of his progress. He's going to slowly build his linkages until he can fully utilise that bull dozer of a body. It's not going to be instant but it's going to happen.

[@thatguyfrommaine4400]

Exciting times indeed. I feel that the timeline we give Brian is longer than necessary. Ive been following him and a few other AW and or grip related channels for awhile now, and Brian's been dabbling in this sport longer than most think. He's also such a grip and strength specimen, that IMO he doesnt need the years that it normally takes to build up the tendons and wrist/hand. He just has to learn technique and how to apply his monster strength.

[@Ibitmytongue69420]

Who are the other 2?

[@kerkertrandov459]

Who are the other two

[@thatguyfrommaine4400]

When you have a freak of nature like Brian Shaw, with just a little training it is very unlikely that he will not shine at every strength based sport where he can put all of his brute force at work. He is already destroying some big-name dudes only for training, he is gonna be unmatched in no time.

[@OneGodhead]

The thing is he’s not even trying, you can tell he’s giving 20-30% of his true strength

can someone write what Levan said on this 2:06 long video about Levan on Brian's progress?

[@wickywills]

Even though it’s only a side quest for Eddie, don’t underestimate him going into the match with Brian. His latest vid with Neil on the Arm Wars channel looks really promising. Dare I say it, he looks more technical than Brian thanks to Neil’s awesome teachings.

[@zzzzzz69]

Who is coaching Brian again I forgot

[@ATomRileyA]

Yeah Eddie is also a freak of nature has insane endurance as well can usually out work everyone else, iirc he has the genes for endurance, myostatin and god knows what else. If Eddie was 6ft 9 he would be like thanos :)

[@maxpower2511]

Larry was just a body builder. Shaw is a strongman...huge difference

[@zzzzzz69]

Tbf to Levan's point, other strongmen didn't do that well either

[@Nikoncha]

Larry had a stronger press than Brian lol. Weighing 70kg less. Larry is not "just" a body builder. His squat and DL is also on par with some of the weaker WSM contestants.

U notice how gently he puts everyone down? What happens when his intention is to rip your arm off?

[@nate1sam]

@@Gettin_chunky if Brian can get explosive on the table he will be a menace. He was always far better at raw power than speed in his Strongman career but moving a 6'8" 465lb body quickly while carrying 1000lbs is a task. I think his basketball career will help with coordination and reflexes.

[@Monscent]

[@nate1sam]

@Monscent You know, you are right. I didn't think of that.

[@ATomRileyA]

The thing about Brian is whatever he focuses on he will dedicate himself to learning everything he can. He might be a beginner with arm wrestling but i would guess he has to be one of the strongest Men to try arm wresting in overall brute strength, so once he can learn the techniques over time he will do really well. Going to be interesting to see where it all goes.

[@name-vi6fs]

Brian is an absolute professional and perfectionist. I'm really interested to see how he does a few years from now.

[@heymate291]

1:39 Scary how Brian moves fast now 😮

[@letmetrythisone4549]

Looking good 👀🔥

[@bulletproof1581]

He's always been able to move that fast, he was just being extra professional and trying to get the technique down better that's all

Why is the narrator speaking so quickly? It’s like a short fast burst of lots of words and then slows again 😂

[@jlogan2228]

The best thing for Brian is if he loses bc hes so dang competitive he will legit find and fix every flaw with surgical precision

[@sparkster4000]

Hearing Levan say this is actually huge, not only is he the champ he has every reason psychologically to want to deny Brian has a shot

[@victorybulldog4085]

Larry can not pick a lane and is highly "medicated" to keep his strength. Bouncing around also bites him in the rear and gets him hurt. Brian does nothing half-way and will put in the time and effort needed to be the best he can be. I think he could really surprise people with how fast he may become a real threat in the arm-wrestling world. He has everything he needs to be on top and I personally believe he will be there sooner than most think possible.

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

Brian will accel at ANY strength endeavor he decides to pursue. He has the genetics, the support, the heart, and the mindset.

[@shahman7860]

Brian Shaw is an incredible athlete, but making it to the top in arm wrestling would be a huge challenge. Think about it like this - even though Shaw is much stronger than Olympic wrestlers in traditional lifts, he'd have a really tough time beating them in wrestling because specialized skills matter more than raw strength in technical sports. The same applies to arm wrestling. It's not just about being strong; you need years of experience with specific techniques and understanding leverage points that are totally different from strongman training. Look at John Brzenk - at around 200 pounds he beat much bigger guys because his technique was just that good. Shaw's 6'8" frame might actually work against him against shorter, more experienced opponents. And while his strength and work ethic are impressive, starting arm wrestling in his 40s means going up against people who've been perfecting these skills for 20+ years. Not saying it's impossible, but he'd have a lot of catching up to do.

[@POLOLOUS3]

Brian with his training and nailing down the techniques will be able to take on anyone above the top 5 guaranteed. The real test will be when he actually pulls his first pro and we see how well he does.

[@anthonyfelony]

Levan is getting a heart attack before the match even started

[@trumpshairdresser5038]

I think with Brian his a stickler for technique which will help him excel in the sport of arm wrestling. Just my opinion

[@joeyd4079]

Levan seems like he would enjoy a Brian super match one day

[@leons5981]

Brian has endless potential if he gets the techniques down he will be unbeatable because nobody is stronger than Brian.

[@PhoenixBlacke]

Guys like Shaw always hold back doing everything so they dont break things, or hurt people. The minute Shaw understands armwrestling and he stops caring about ripping guys arms off, if he ever gets that aggressive ness in him..he will be scary. Luckily for us mere mortals, nature provided a contingency plan when humans get this big by making Gh needed for the size but also makes people chill lol

[@REiiGN15]

Brian Shaw some forget isn't a bodybuilder, so he isn't just big. He's an athlete and he takes any challenge pretty damn seriously backed by rigorous training.

[@80-80.]

If he started 10 years sooner he would have reached the top 3 level.

[@nate1sam]

@@80-80. He will be in top 3 in his career. Ever beat Levon? Nobody knows. But he will be toward the top because of his work ethic and drive.

[@ridley674]

There's a major difference is larry to shaw mind, shaw being the strong man and larry being bodybuilding but i know larry is explosive from all his videos. I think shaw is going to show a massive difference from the training and i hope so too! Looking at some of his vids, i want to say he will use back pressure but his wrist with the right guy needs to be looked at. But who knows, i aint a pro at this.

[@ZidaxGaming]

Can't wait for them to do the after match pulling even if it is not a serious wrestle.

[@Bartacolips]

I just want to see Brian and Levan next to each other so we can really size em up

[@jone8626]

Some say it will take 2-3 years for Brian to get to the top. But he could just get in and get to the top 3 right away. Many dismissed Brock lesnar when he first went to UFC. After a few fights no one was bad mouthing him anymore.

[@libidooverdrive]

Uh ..no way. Lesnar was a elite wrestler. Back then that translated very well to MMA . Brian does not have anything that translates to such a hyper focused activity like arm wrestling. It will take many years for Brian to become a Top 10 Arm wrestler. It's too bad he started so late. It might make it impossible to get to the top

[@sayitlikeitis5379]

Remember this levan was a skinny guy who was growth hoemoned out of his head yeah he has responded amazing to performance enhancing drugs but Brian is a much much bigger man and stronger than levan was when he started. I believe it Brian who is also juiced and god knows what else. But if he had the same intake as levan in peds then you could be looking at a 200 kg plus version of levan in 2/3 years

[@hit444man_-]

The thing is Brian is not a body builder he is an strong man athlete so even if he loses a couple of matches in the beginning if he gains experience than I can see him going far

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

People keep talking about him, but literally nobody has a clue, not even the professional athletes because no one even close to Brian strength has ever entered the sport as a rookie or Brian size as a rookie. He could already be in the top 15. Nobody knows it. I’m just saying he could be. He just needs to grab your arm. He’s being nice wait till he starts throwing that 425 pound body around. Wait till he starts knowing how to use that holy crap. The guy literally has the strongest grip on the planet. He could crush your finger bone, probably if he really wanted to squeeze as hard as he could with anger.

[@D3moknight]

The people that are counting Brian out already are the people that don't realize that if you put Brian standing next to Levan, Levan would look small next to him. People are underestimating his existing strength. He's literally one of the largest strength athletes alive right now, even without bulking for WSM competition. There is only a handful of people with a similar frame to him, like Hafthor or Shaq.

[@zzzzzz69]

Levan started way earlier and has come much further than Brian... and has time to go further still Brian arrived late but is starting from a much farther point than Levan did too, I believe he can catch up to early Levan's career but whatever stride he continues to make current Levan is already way ahead so it will be tough for Brian to catch up, but we'll see maybe Levan falls back at some point and Brian keeps rising everything is time for Brian
