The lesson we've learned today: brian could legitimately pick a teenager up only gripping their head.

[@jamalkumara1381]

Only if their head doesn’t explode first 😂 haha

[@collegestudent6071]

225 pounds is an average height overweight man...

[@BradPwnsU]

@@collegestudent6071 he’s talking about the blob lol but yeah there are full grown men weighing 150 so he could theoretically pickup a man by the top of his head

[@JonHop1]

@@BradPwnsU They should honestly try it! LOL.. altho I think a persons head diameter would be the issue lol.. The person would have to wear some kind of helmet with an extension and probably a neck brace while they are at it! lol

[@BradPwnsU]

@@JonHop1 yes lmao exactly. Probably would could have them wear a harness and then attach a grip attachment to the top, so the pressure isn’t on their neck but then again it kinda defeats the purpose…but then again he really might be able to just do it. I’m a big guy like 6’5 260 and I can fit my hand around my head, and I have a big ass head lol. And I’m sure Brian’s hands are bigger than mine…so a 150lb person with a smaller head, bald, and chalk their head up I think he really could lmao but the grip honestly would seriously hurt them lol

Brian might be a small dude who can't lift much, but his wholesomeness and sincereness might be the strongest things in the universe.

Brian was never the most genetically blessed-short, no muscle and small looking, and no strength or power to write home about. Luckily he’s chill and has a good personality.

[@reliableboi2847]

Gotta say before I met Brian I was expecting to meet a giant only to realize in shock I had been looking right down at him! Naturally I’m not one to make fun of or look down on people who weren’t dealt the best physical hand in life, so I treated him with utmost respect and was not disappointed to do so. We traded heartfelt conversations and lifted some weight a few times, and me being a pretty strong guy myself, I had him beat in every physical aspect possible. Of course, there was one thing Brian had me beat in, and that was with his heart, he made my entire month high-spirited with his well-mannered nature has taught me much. We could all learn a thing or two from Brian Shaw.
