[e-mail]

[@Handren8]

Its happening ladies and gentlemen, one step at the time.

[@Demidar665]

and were here for it. Imagine we got what we litearlly wished for, i subbed to magnus, i watched him back in the day, he actually motivated me to train isometric and that helped me so much on the table later on, my riser strength was so much above average that armwrestlers asked if i armwrestled alot before. Im from Denmark, cant wait for this to unfold.

[@mikaelnilsson5912]

Would be amazing to see Magnus and Brian at the table.

[@Hangryjohndoe]

It would be great to see you guys get together and do some grip training.

[@dodumichalcevski]

2025 will be an AMAZING year for Armwrestling 💪💪💪

[@PowerFromAbove]

Muratov, Kurdecha,Levan, Vrezh, Devon

[@snowyshaw1968]

Magnusson dude curled 305 on a Olympic straight bar for reps, one of the strongest guys in the weight room I ever saw on video.

[@tomastorasen9164]

Magnus VS shaw på East vs West. Kör!!!

[@I-P-777]

Anywhere i would love to see it

[@mightyoaks77]

Now the moneys there for these legends it would be amazing! They deserve everything they can get for what they've given to strength sports and the eyes on them and the p.r. would be priceless💙

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

This match would probably make more sense at Shaw Classic or at a Strongman Event as a Supermatch Best of 5.

[@viktore69]

If Magnus Samuelsson and Brian Shaw both joins armwrestling. Holy fuck. Two absolute monsters that has enormous potential to make the level go up even further😂😂💪🔥

[@vaettra1589]

Not really, Magnus is too old.

[@TheArchersArms]

​@vaettra1589 you can be old and be a good armwrestler. Look at Breznk

[@me_too_thanks5062]

Magnus Samuelsson has been armwrestling for decades and he was the european champion in the 90s, what are you talking about

[@Monscent]

@@me_too_thanks5062 Relax. Guys like Brzenk have been active at the highest level this entire time. Magnus is still strong but he hasnt been active at all for a few decades. He has good knowledge to share, would be really fun to see him with Brian, but Magnus aint going for any arm wresting comeback. Its obvious listening to him.Let them just have fun without making mega unrealistic claims.

[@Slaskhask]

Magnus Samuelsson was an awesome strongman but I think a lot of people are getting carried away with this whole match up. If anyone saw the climbing videos with Magnus he does have some permanent injuries making things difficult for him and his grip strength is nowhere near his peak which is only natural for someone that has been retired for no less than 16 years. Unlike Brzenk who btw is an anomaly, Magnus hasn't been arm wrestling consistently the past 30 years. He has also slimmed down and lost much of his top end strength and he turns 55 this year. I'm not sure he would be willing to put his already banged up body through another period of intense training with the added "supplements" necessary to compete with Brian.

[@mickett]

Hela världen vill se detta!

[@mightyoaks77]

🇬🇧💪👍

[@danielostman5805]

To be able to beat a dad of any kind at armwrestling is impressive. But to have Magnus as your father and being able to give him a run for he's money at the table is a different level 😂

[@JohnDoe-kv5lv]

Also Magnus wife, this guys mom, have been the strongest woman in Sweden

[@glenns001]

you can see the boy is new to it from the hip distance from the table, will be good once he learns

[@EspenX]

I don't think his son can beat his father that easily. I think it is more Magnus being understated and humble and practicing technique and what his son should do to win. He is a father saying how strong his son is becomming, not neccessarily showing how he can not win a match against his son if he went all in. Magnus is older and confident in himself, he does not need to put out a video of him smashing people at the table.

[@drzoom3696]

Så grymt! Håller tummarna för att du fortsätter på den här vägen, och att vi får se lite videos med dig och Brian snart.

[@godabhi8599]

Perfect first match for brian taking on a familiar legend whose also a great armwrestler 👌

[@Mr_Jingles_147]

Honestly, I'm just buzzing to see Magnus at the table again AND I'd love to see Brian and Magnus spend some time together. Proper blast from the past and both know the strongman journey. What a great time to be an armwrestling fan :)

[@ronniemillsap]

yes please

[@TheArchersArms]

Brian had is having armwrestling at his Strongest Man on Earth event. I bet he would pay for a flight out if you would commentate some of his competitions! You are an absolute legend and it's great to see you on the table again.

[@DevexTRE]

would be great to see you guys just pull for fun and train together, doenst have to be a supermatch. Unless you both wanted 2 ofc

[@stronghold07ptx85]

Agree, training and some grip content would be great! Also a shawstrength podcast would be amazing

[@maldeventre]

Thats what im thinking too, no pressure

[@calvinjonesyoutube]

Yes please.

[@Dennis-en9qy]

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! I'm so glad I asked Brian that question at his live stream! Step by step this might just be happening! Love it!! ❤💪

[@fredrikjaensson7350]

Thanks a lot, this fight will be awesome😁👍 Still remember when he was at Fort Boyard back in 1997 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4bZiJWBfqmsnsU

[@officialWhynot]

Team effort! Thank you!

[@Dennis-en9qy]

@@officialWhynot Haha yes, awsome! Thank you for picking up on it! ❤️

[@chaosmonke2000]

David Samuelsson vs Auden Larratt, make it happen! 💪💪

[@benmarch2566]

I hope so! Two great guys!!

[@brottochstraff]

and Magnus actually knows what hes doing already so this could be interesting.

[@martj1313]

I remember watching him break Nathan Jones arm back in the nineties, not a guy i would want to arm wrestle.

[@DavidVirtanen]

Two Legends 💪🏻🇸🇪💪🏻🇺🇸

[@LatinoAaron]

Gotta get this to happen. Would be amazing!

[@anderswallin3883]

Det skulle helt klart vara fränt att se en collab eller 2 mellan er. Lite grepp träning/tävling och en del armbrytning :) Skulle vara intressant att höra vad du tycker/känner när du greppar upp med Brian på bordet. Devon vill gärna överdriva lite tror jag bara för att ge sporten mera ljus ;)

[@DTGsweden]

Grymt Magnus ! Hade varit kul att se den svenske vikingen vid bordet igen ! Kör ! 👊🏼🤘🏼❤️

[@Limowreck207]

Magnus, when i look at your son, the word POTENTIAL keeps flashing in my mind. I dont how busy you are in your personal life, but you gotta give armwrestling a serious try. Win or lose your such a huge name in strength sports it would help the future of armwrestling if your name was involved! Im so looking forward to seeing videos with you, your son, and devon and brian. Good luck to you Magnus from Cleveland, Ohio.

[@bravojohnson5050]

He already was European Champion years ago

[@Limowreck207]

@bravojohnson5050 that's even more reason to get back into it. Do you know what country he lives in. Larratt needs to go visit and train with him! Engin should have Magnus as a special guest at East vs West!

[@WingspeedGarage]

We need this collaboration or matchup!!

[@roohaa8382]

Magnus: "I've probably broken Brian Shaw's arm"

[@a13Banger]

I really appreciate this video, the way it was edited together.. I am super excited about this potential. Even if there is no "super match" in arm wrestling, it sounds like Magnus and Brian are interested in Arm Wrestling, so why not get together and at a minimum be a couple of amazing training partners :)

[@MrTjulius]

It would be awesome to see these two gentlemen give it a go.

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

Exciting overload

[@Stanley73628]

Yes!! It needs to happen!

[@kenat.7421]

The King thank you for the power always n never forget your power from a young age . Respect .

[@albertoortega121]

Looking forward to it!!!

[@overflow6004]

Fingers crossed something will come of this Brian and Magnus are legends

[@kurtwpg]

Too bad all their meetings were after Magnus prime and before Brian's.

[@InfoRanker]

I'd both love and hate to see this match. It would be epic but I'd hate to see one of them lose. Training together though would be awesome.

[@travismcafee1039]

yes! we need to see more Swede power on the table! I met Brian at an airport and the only thing that impressed me more than his giant stature was his class. He's genuinely a great guy. I think a match up of Magnus vs Brian would be one to watch.

[@martingee4886]

Magnus looks very good for +50. Plus seems like a super nice guy. Would be lots of fun to see a collaboration with Brian.

[@mightyoaks77]

I agree💪👍

[@mathewrculbertson]

Do it! Magnus you are a huge inspiration to me! Do it.

[@CeRz]

Good prize money both for winning and participating can be arranged. It will be legendary having two strongman veterans clash out on the armwrestling table. Many people from the armwrestling world still remembers you Magnus. I am confident it will draw in a good audience. Perhaps even make more strongmen open their eyes to armwrestling. You can make great ambassador work by participating in a future event against brian; when the time is right. Brian still needs a lot of practice but I think, that one day, it will be a great match for the sport of armwrestling and as a way to draw more eyes to the sport, which can also help the future of your son by giving him more chances and possibilities. There is really no negative to this in my own humble opinion. Think about it deeply.

[@artandsawdust]

I'd love to see two of my favorite Strongman's armwrestle.

[@PhillipCalvin627]

I had no idea Magnus Samuelsson had a KZbin. Immediately Sub'd. Magnus won the first ever WSM I watched from start to finish as a boy and he was my favorite strongman straight until he retired. Would love to see some collaborations with Brian Shaw. Was cool to see those clips of Dave Ostlund and Janne Virtanan, brings back memories.

[@lordnorden5856]

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it!!! Gör det, gör det, gör det, gör det, gör det, gör det, gör det!!!

[@entiredretreat]

Jo absolut! Kåmmer ihåg Magnus från slutet av 90-talet... Oj då... jag känner mig gammal mitt i allt😅 Hälsningar från Finland Magnus & team! Håppas att matchen ordnas!

[@kaptenblavit3709]

Älskar hur du går på brian visst han är stark, men taktiskt älskar det!💪💪

[@michaelmullins1290]

They definitely need to meet. Brian should fly him in with the rest of the SMOE contestants. Keep him for a week after.

[@galenbjorn443]

Kul att se grabben träna hårt!

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

You have a Levan well we have a Brian Shaw, who is now training and will hopefully be ready one day

[@BrentMB79]

2 of the greatest! Love Magnuson and Brian! It would be awesome to see you giants do a video together

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

You and Lars Rørbakken would be great training together

[@officialWhynot]

It would be amazing to make a few videos together!

[@robertjrobicheau8456]

As a fan of old time Strong Man I'd love to Magnus vs Brian on the table.

[@alexchambers382]

Class act. Love to see the respect. Need to see you guys train together or talk on the podcast no matter what! 💪

[@miladirani4313]

Magnus is my favorite strongman of all the time

[@mightyoaks77]

Magnus is no slouch! It would be really great to see another father son combo at the top table if these 2 take it seriously his son could be a beast..... more legends more eyes on the sport💪💪💪

[@lp8102]

This looking exciting

[@autto101]

BEAST!!! LETS GO!!!!!

[@Neptunus9]

Just make it happen!

[@olofpersson983]

Det vore en sjukt häftig colab med dig Magnus och Shaw... rulla lite stekpannor, klämma lite grippers och snacka armbrytning 😂 Hoppas det händer

[@ElementalHangover]

Would be awesome to see you hit up some local armwrestling clubs in sweden. Would be awesome to shed some light on the status on swedish armwrestling. Also would be good pratice for you as well as very entertaining content.

[@Sportsmanship9]

MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

[@staygold902]

Lets fucking go!

[@porkypile]

Meet up and see how it goes :) would love it!

[@ScottFree117]

You can tell how excited Brian was to see this by the prolonged look of glee.

[@rhymetimeuk]

I have never forgotten watching the WSM when the guy he faced broke his arm trying to beat him, incredible.

[@Hardworkingize]

Your son is insanely strong haha

[@menetinminutin]

Great idea!

[@SkepticalCaveman]

I would love to see Magnus play White Beard in the One Piece Netflix series.

[@alrivers2297]

Make it happen 💪

[@taklampan650]

Ett steg åt gången 🙏

[@jw3807]

I think it would be great for Bryan to learn about arm wrestling from a fellow strongman’s perspective.

[@adamdahlstrom2095]

We all want to see you back! You are known as The world’s strongest arms for a reason!

[@Thulgore]

Magnus and Vytautus and Brian Shaw would be a fascinating video. Edit: Not due to them being the best trainers......but they might be beneficial.

[@PostTR69]

RIP Levan

[@porkypile]

Lets get the sonny into the game fully as well, dude's strong a.f.

[@Leland387]

Brian doesn’t like to lose he’s a competitor at the highest level, once he figures out pressures and technique. The sky truly is the limit

[@troyhesters]

I'm a big fan of both of these guys. I would like to see them have a match

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

Even a collaboration with you training together would be really cool!

[@Revament]

YES

[@johnstone7092]

Lets go!

[@MagNus-lb6ui]

Magnus and Brian doing some grip stuff would be great fun aswell!

[@WantMore-mc8dx]

Sjukt bra träningskamrater :)

[@JarleTube]

What about Magnus vs Lars Rørbakken?

[@DanHammarstrom]

Stort jävla hurra 🎉😍💪

[@duke4614]

Awesome 💪🏻😎

[@GrannySoupLadle]

Great news, and great edit. 🤙

[@MagNus-lb6ui]

Smooth edits! Keep it up

[@barneyrubble545]

Great to see a collab between you and Brian, or indeed a match up, but i think Brian needs a lot more training before he starts taking matches on. Strength is definitely there, but he needs more technique, more table time, and more confidence in his skills. Interesting times

[@1vootman]

Of any of the 315lbs curls ive seen people do on an Oly bar, Magnus's looked strict and fairly easy

[@tricia3114]

1000% yesssssss

[@per-erikostman233]

Great Sparring Partner🎉

[@Jeffaa21]

Nice practice.. keep up rising.. regrip.. also when you do the toproll!!

[@Jason-vj1qn]

The mountain's strongman statics and peak is better than brain shaw.But in the general,we can say that brain was the most succesful athlete in strongman competitions.

[@gusteg83]

As long as all can have fun and stay out of injury - why not. Only thing - would any of You really be interested enough in winning it - and for what?

[@Gubson]

Amazing! I guess his son will be a contender too.

[@airsoftninja295]

Magnus you are making all the rite moves, a collaboration with Brian Shaw would be awesome! If you are fighting some old injuries, I would definitely get in touch with Devon Larratt to connect you with Vitacell Biologics 💯 Your son seems to have your Strongman genes and talents, with you training him in Armfighting I am affraid how good he could become if he puts his mind to it 🧠💪🙏

[@ZAKVikingPowerChallenge]

Lets go Champ 💪💪🙏🙏

[@CanariasCanariass]

Could you do a video with Tobias Sporrong?

[@norwegianviking2142]

You both love grip so you have to do that. And Bryan loves to eat so see if you can keep up with his diet 👍💪👊

[@denneberg]

Wow. Fy fan va häftigt!

[@dmoeller0]

Magnus son vs larrats boys as a feature? Hehe
