[@Jason-wc3fh]

@@wileecoyote5749 Nah. The guy doing the catching of the bar was quite adamant he can handle it, so there would be no liability if he gets knocked out cold by that bar flying towards him.

About ten years ago, I ran two gyms and was in the best shape of my life. I had a similar company come try to sell us on their products similar to whats being shown here. Although the technology wasn’t as good as they have here, the results are comparable… now let me tell you out of a gym with 10,000 members, I was pound for pound one of the strongest there.

Just a Casual Slap with no rotational technique, with a bit of training of how to punch he might double his force. Would love to see eddy and thor who both trained a bit boxing do that

[@jameswalterclark3696]

I think that for anyone who may question the athleticism of strong men or think that anyone could do it, this is a great explainer for the difference between men like Brian and guys like me: he is just incredibly in tune with his body, learns coordination super quickly, has incredible control at peak output and is so damn consistent (if he’s not improving quickly!). Some incredible moments there!

[@soulessshadow5356]

Watching Brian throw that bar at trainer gave me a new appreciation for his explosiveness. Now granted if we were talking the old Brian Shaw he didn't have the same athleticism and speed as he does now. He's always been super strong and in tune with his body, but over the years we really got to see Brian evolve into almost the perfect combination of speed, athleticism, power, and consistency to become one of the very best to do it.

[@teemann8379]

His intensity and form are inspirational

[@yasinpatel12345]

Shaw played basketball in college, he is definitely very athletic and explosive.

[@cyruahawkins5289]

I think it’s cause it takes a lot more control. 😅 Like I genuinely believe big people are usually less coordinated I think solely cause they got more mass to move. 😅 Like cause you’re bigger, it’s gonna take more strength and honestly control to have your body move how you want it to. Still big people can get way stronger then a smaller dude and I think anyone can train athleticism, just keep playing a sport, train to get your strength up and it’ll come. 😂 I swear sometimes you gotta work on the fundamentals like literally just running and you’d be amazed what you can actually do. 😂

He has the strongest grip in the world, that dynamometer Vitaly used is substantially inferior to the equipment you see in this vid. And in general if you've watched his other vids you would know that his grip is unmatched. He has several world record grip lifts, he's one of less than 5 people that did reps with the millennium dumbbell, Vitaly couldn't lift a slightly lighter dumbbell at around 215 pounds (though he was very close).

[@kvernesdotten]

17:28 - According to Magnus Midtbø (the rock climber) it is for some reason fairly normal for people to have a stronger grip on their non-dominant hand. I dont know why, but I suspect from my own life that it has to do with the left often being the "supporting" hand while doing something with the right. Typically I do bigger movements with the left side and more fine motor movement with my right (being right handed ofc). Lets say you are loading plates on a barbell, typically for me at least, id lift it with both hands, hold it there mostly with the left sarm to keep it steady while using the right hand to line up the hole with the bar end. Honestly I dont know though, its just really interesting to me, and Ive been noticing it more and more after I was told.

[@omniphile.]

i think it has to do with your dominant hand/arm being used way more often and also in a more "endurance" based way than your other. for example, i am right handed, but my left biceps is WAY stronger. But when it comes to endurance, my left biceps fails much much earlier than my right one, so i think thats the main reason. since your dominant arm/hand is needed for complex fine motor skills, its trained to be "softer" than your opposing side

[@kvernesdotten]

@@omniphile. Thats interesting, I dont think ive ever seen any data that indicates you can train a muscle group "softer" at the expense of max strength though? I dont know, im not one of those people with a stronger offhand grip, I just find the phenomenon interesting

[@omniphile.]

@@kvernesdotten it's not "softer" per se, it's more like that your dominant side tends to have less fast twitch fibers since fine motor skills are often times more endurance based. Think of writing, brushing teeth, using your computer mouse etc. You tend to use your dominant hand for nearly any task, and it really adds up over the course of the day. But I could be completely wrong, it's just my suggestion

[@kvernesdotten]

@@omniphile. Yeah I get that, Ive just never seen any evidence that developing fine motor skills or endurance comes at the expense of strength somehow. Apart from the actual time invested in one or the other of course. But likewise, I could be entirely wrong haha. I did have an accident that caused me to live in a hospital for almost a year for surgeries and physical rehab, and when I couldnt use my right leg it caused the left one to be "over developed" according to the physicians and it far exceeded the right leg on everything from fine motor skills, endurance and raw strenght. It was, and still is, better than what my right leg has ever been. Bit extreme example and not actually a hand, but point is that one doesnt necessarily exclude the other. Or so I think at least. But hey, evidently the right hand thing is absolutely real and fairly well known. So at this point your guess holds more water than mine.

[@omniphile.]

@@kvernesdotten ur observation could be because of the following: the origin of all movement comes from? right, the brain. its not merely the size or strenght of the muscle itself, strenght/fine motor skills are also determined by the nervous system. so if you stop using one leg, and only use the other one, the capacity of your nervous system to navigate the muscles in this one is way higher (u could argue it kinda doubles). i assume thats one of the reasons, but again, im not a doctor or physiotherapist, just a biology student with a fascination for sports and related stuff. my knowledge is big, but it would be interesting to hear some expert opinion on this. i might ask some friends, i will get back to you here when done.

I really love how Brian is open-minded to try these things in the first place. Not many people are ready to work with sports scientists, especially champions for they think these people can't contribute but in reality, nuances are what determine the outcomes. I happened to use the same VALD Dynamometer that is shown in the video at a sports science conference today and I ended up in the 700N which is not bad. and regarding the landmine setup here they could have used a cushion instead of catching manually for that setup really stopped him from giving his maximum effort. As an athlete I felt if these rigs are really set in a way that can really bring out the best out of the people then that data will be really really valuable.

11:40 honestly Oberst would be really really good at this. It's the same motion and movements as putting a shot.

In the words of Eddie Hall when he went to do that pull at the University I honestly thought Brian was going to rip that f****** machine out the ground

[@temporaryzk1198]

It almost happened They had to make the bolts tight again in between the session

[@Big_Ego]

brian definitely seemed like he was going easy almost the whole time out of fear of injury. as a fighter myself i can attest when people do this type of diagnostic test Egos tend to get involved and fighters more than anyone will end up going too hard and hurting them self. really goes to show you the type of humility and independent self confidence brian rightfully has

[@brick532]

I don’t think so man he maxed on the deadlift and beat Eddie’s record for example

[@loganpowers1999]

Brian shaw is a little under one hundred pounds less than Eddie's world record dead lift you are thinking of Hafthor who has the WR deadlift of 1105 Eddie had 1102 Brian's is 1014

[@sw96]

@@loganpowers1999 Brick is referring to the deadlift force test performed here which Eddie has also done, and Brian out performed him by a bit.

[@loganpowers1999]

@@sw96 ahh ok I was like he definitely hasn't just straight up on PR for deadlift, but is see what he's talking about now.

[@J.C...]

Yep. Being super competitive, you can see him, easily overdoing it by trying to max out his results. Much like the deadlift, you just want to do a little better and a little better. Exactly why, he said him & Eddie could. Have fun with it lol. They'd likely injure themselves trying to outdo one another.

[@CupidStunttz]

[@carlopoli9067]

My impression is that Brian's last slap wasn't at 100%. I watched it in slow motion, and it resembles the previous slaps, that is, without particular effort. I think Brian can slap much harder, i.e. twisting his torso faster and giving a loud yell like in previous performances. Btw this is an amazing video👏👏👏

[@phill3795]

I will never get tired of people saying something like " Oh wow we have never seen those type of numbers or we have never had that happen" whenever Brian shows up lol
