Oh baby baby. I'm putting insulation into my tiny home gym today that I built. Like 1% of Brian's gym but it's my dream like his. Love listening to this podcast while doing work!

[@southwestgal7]

Congrats 👏 🏋‍♂️💪

[@berzerkbankie1342]

Good for you! Keep up the good work

[@berternie6181]

Nice one

[@Evan-ph7jh]

Two of the absolute greatest to ever pick up a barbell. Y’alls knowledge is damn near unmatched together. What a podcast Brian and Ed!

[@haczabim]

with Eddie and Brian we could take down al qaeda, osama and biden down!

[@darbyparke9105]

Ed Coan the 🐐 John Haack is getting close in my eyes but Ed Coan was the OG and is such an inspiration and wealth of knowledge. What a great guest Brian 👌 I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. Ed Coan is one of the coolest, most humble guys too.

[@johnsambo9379]

You can't compare different eras. Different rules, drugs and equipment.

[@psl127]

John Haack never came close to the numbers what Ed did while in competing in the IPF

[@lm-usmc]

Holy crap. The amount of knowledge in that room between, Ed, Brian, and Nick, is mind blowing. Freaking legends!

[@CraigCastanet]

ED IS INCREDIBLE. "I LIKE ME". WHAT A TESTAMENT TO THE RIGHT WAY TO LIVE.

[@shawnwark7776]

Another inspiring podcast. I feel so fortunate to have found this. To folks out there- if you’re ever not feeling good about how your day/week is going, tune out the noise and tune into this podcast.

[@dylanpritchard4981]

“It’s your version of great, if you got better you’re great.” 1:00:14 Absolutely love that!

[@BentNotBroken1970]

Life lessons from two of the strongest men in history. It's amazing how applicable these philosophies are to life outside the gym as well.

[@MulliganBrothersInterviews]

This was an amazing guest to get on, valuable content 🙌🔥

[@keithjackson2462]

You guys need to do a collaboration with Brian and you do amazing work with the spiciest brothers on earth.

[@richardlawton1023]

Thanks Brian. Ed was one of the lifters that got me lifting in 92'. I learned so much by watching him and others in Powerlifting USA. Thanks... I'm now 68' ...I was never injured training or competition. I've now had several knee surgeries ,two back fusions etc. All occured more than 10 years after I stopped lifting.

[@markkerr9358]

Glad you have Ed Coan ( The Greatest Of All Time) Powerlifter on your Podcast.🏋️‍♀️💪👍

[@aidangriffiths5075]

this podcast should have millions of followers, its fantastic

[@southwestgal7]

...💯%...😅😂

[@Stallion5169]

Ed Coan is the absolute GOAT! Loved hearing about how he got into the sport and the passion he still has.

[@PlanoMikeD]

I met the GOAT at the 1999 USPF Seniors in Dallas, Tx. His 1019 squat was easily the coolest lift I've ever seen in person (and I've seen a lot). I was coaching another lifter in the same flight and Ed used my shoulders as a resting point (remember those old Inzer shirts that made you walk like a zombie?) before one of his bench attempts. He said something like "be useful" with a big smile. Such a nice dude.

[@patricksullivan217]

Brian I love how you take these guys back to their childhood and beginning of lifting many of us know who they became but not where they came from

[@Me-wk7dz]

Definitely will steal that line "I'm always good" when people ask how I'm doing

[@morimorian1437]

Awesome.!! Shaw, your literacy level is very impressive most of the athletes or former athletes can not talk at your level of literacy. It is such an honour that people like you are in this sport.

[@jgamez5023]

Wow, I was thinking the same thing and then I read your comment. I knew there was something much different about this interview and that's exactly it.

[@eweio1152]

Ed truly is the GOAT. His demeanor and humbleness is what makes him great. Ive messaged him on social media to critique a video of me deadlifting and he took the time to give me pointers and praised certain things I was doing. This is how champions and winners should be. Thanks Ed!

[@presqueisle69]

Neaver gets old watching & listening to Brian Shaw .

[@psl127]

Brian always brings the topic back to him.

[@awallner1]

"Get In the Cold Tub" would be a great title for his memoir or I got the Stones!

[@FinnReaper1]

The G:O:A:T ! Thank you Brian & Ed, and greetings from Finland!

[@raymondblood6322]

two of the strongest guys to ever walk the earth both champs

[@morrisolmsted1316]

Two of the greatest lifters in the world, love it!

[@shawnmichaud4484]

Really want to see a pic of these two guys standing next to each other, ha ha. The difference would be amazing to see. Great podcast! Keep up the solid guests.

[@ashleyrose5647]

Hearing two of Greatest of all time talk about their Love of iron and the people they spent time lifting and teaching ! Is an awesome testimony of their character !

[@davidb1975a]

I'm leaving another comment... I'm watching/listening to this again... great talk and great advice!

[@wiseinvestments5134]

I often come back to the intro to the podcast (and the whole thing too) because it amps me up so much. How the music fades in as he talks about getting more and more quiet as he approaches the gym.

[@TheAxeMurderer0]

Ed Coan jst gets laser focused when listening to Brian´s question, just amazing to watch that level of focus.. Great talk also, could have been 2-3 hours.. Thanks!

[@marcusorillius6971]

The man the myth the legend.

[@unknownstrongman]

Just in time for my workout! Can't wait for this one!

[@brandonbaldwin6845]

The respect that these two have for each is refreshing. It's awesome to see two guys that are legends in their sport having so much in common and valuing each other's views and opinions.

[@Jay-yy5rp]

I loved those old pics that came out in the magazines back in the 90's from Coan's competitions. My favorite powerlifter ever.

[@DJEzraLive]

As someone who got to train with Ed Coan, I can verify he's an amazing human being. I'd love to meet Brian one day too, and I really hope these two legends got some training footage that we could all see :) Many thanks for the podcast Brian, big fan here!

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Great to hear how the best get better.

[@jefflegrande4078]

I been following ED’S career since 1984 and I still hang on every word he has to say. He’s a great teacher and motivator. This is my favorite interview by far. Great job BRIAN. You two have a lot more in common than strength. You both have a priceless PERSONALITY.

[@RickBisch]

Brian is extremely natural on the microphone. This podcast is going to be great. Please stay consistent. We need to get Brian on Rogan 🙏

[@captainbiceps5209]

I have the feeling a lot of us will listen this podcast again and again and again. Thanks for sharing so much wisedom and positivity

[@dantemarotta356]

The Greatest Powerlifter of all time.

[@peterpartridge3612]

Two legends!

[@strosity]

best podcast i have ever listened to.

[@richardcope9803]

Brian, thank you. So inspiring to hear from two of the greatest ever. Every time I listen to you I take away something so valuable. You are the best brother

[@Vismis]

Its a perfect podcast setup. Nobody else got them trophies like that

[@markkerr9358]

I’ve listened to this podcast at least 6 times.Always gets me motivated to workout harder .The two best at what they do.👍👍🏋️‍♀️

[@BM-hw7kp]

I’d love to hear Brian talk about when you have goals that conflict/don’t go well with each other. Such as parenting and training. Or needing to have a level of endurance for work and want to compete in strongman.

[@JB-ww4ug]

This is one of the most exciting podcasts I have ever listened to.Brian and Ed are just super men intellectually and physically.WOW

[@davidb1975a]

This was an awesome podcast! As with anything you do Brian... Keep being GREAT!

[@TheSam10pate]

ed is such a awesome and humble guy my first arnold was in 2016 when i was 16 and he was so nice to me i asked for a photo and without hesitation he grabbed me by the back of my neck and said come here farm boy (me being almost 1.5 ft taller then him). then just started talking to me about my lifts. super greatful i got to meet him.

[@Justmyopinion761]

Ed coan was, is and will always be the greatest of all time. He will never be eclipsed

[@justinott516]

Absolutely amazing cast

[@mikeoxlong91111]

2 legends! This'll be good!

[@tankstrength6907]

Absolutely, huge takeaways for me

[@jimwojton7369]

This inspired me to recommit to overall health at 53 years old. Thank you for this!

[@bobz4968]

Great knowledge sharing Not many have the focus for being the greatest, but we can all be much much better. Getting used to feeling guilty just leads to shame and failure. “Just give it a good effort to try it for awhile”

[@spencermather4444]

Looking forward to this one!

[@intuitivehomebrew3199]

Man, Ed's voice over mixed over some deep house or chillstep would be really awesome training music

[@user-vg9dg8cj9m]

Loved listening about the psychology of the greatest. Really glad I watched this video. Thanks a lot, Brian.

[@adamd549]

Irish power !! We build them strong 💪🏻 Two legends and thank both for the podcast.

[@tottenhambulldogs6178]

Two legends

[@calebgodard4554]

Absolutely amazing. So happy about this podcast

[@8CIC8]

It's always worth listening to Ed!

[@hooskerdoo3130]

Been waiting for this one since I saw the picture on Instagram what seems like weeks ago. 👍

[@Chronoxidex]

My second time watching this. So powerful. Still picking up on things.

[@teti_99]

Simply awesome. Glad I subscribed.

[@aleaarnett6003]

Excellent podcast!!! Masters Strongwoman here and love to see media tapping into the wisdom & heart of the greats! Thank you!

[@zknk5811]

You should dim the lighting and put some accents lights behind your trophies to make them pop during your pod cast

[@yanivgoft]

I thought I was gonna study tonight before this notification came up

[@markkerr9358]

Again,another fantastic podcast Brian.👍👍

[@chadwilliams367]

Great stuff. Jay Cutler and now another ledgend... Ed Coan! I didn't know Ed knew Nick! I really love how you guys cheer for each other. Not only are you two great athletes but great minds! It was cool to learn that you grew up working on a farm. Doug Furnas, who can be seen talking to Ed before some of his big competition lifts, also grew up on a farm out west (Oklahoma).

[@patrickverschuren1150]

What a great pot cast.

[@ultralyrics1]

Hearing these guys talk makes me want to start lifting immediately haha

[@michaelsweeney1283]

Great vid Brian great to hear Ed has abit of irish in him

[@kamikaze885]

Another great episode!

[@caleb-gf9nv]

woo!!!

[@rorybooth2400]

Keep growing this man. The official podcast of strongman

[@brycecakes1ify]

This is amazing

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

I saw you had Ed Coan on and was like, holy crap! Couldn't click on it fast enough.

[@bennygilligan]

Absolutely fantastic when two of your favourite strength athletes are on the same podcast, I could have just listened for hours 😀 really, really enjoyed it 👍.

[@chadh1721]

There are few people I respect as much as Ed Coan.

[@moosesackfitnessclub]

What a cool dude. Powerlifting and strongman hands down most fun strength sports to train

[@dalewilson9602]

This should be a classic 👌🏼

[@limitlesstraining2096]

Awesome

[@andrewvanschaick4392]

100% good interview

[@UMTEELA]

Ed: I woke up this morning Shaw: interesting

[@Slasher1331]

My favorite episode so far! Amazing content!

[@uncontrolledsubstance388]

Brian is such an amazing host

[@kylepighini8292]

👊💥 need a part 2 with Ed. Could leave listened to more!!!

[@throwsbear4334]

Best podcasts I’ve heard in a long time

[@austinhowell3463]

"I like me" was probably one of the most powerful statements I've heard in months

[@michaelholder98]

This is FREAKING AWESOME!!!! Marine Mike

[@conormccormick4524]

Great interview technique and listening Brian. Looking forward to more!

[@HashBrownDoyler]

this is great

[@bigdavejames8763]

Two gentleman of the sport..legends..great podcast..subbed..

[@espenstoro]

A wild Nick Best appearing out of nowhere confirms what I always believed - strongmen all live together in the same house. Thank god they locked Eddie's room for once.

[@stevewardyn8107]

Would love to meet both of these guys someday!!!

[@gurthkwake6910]

Legendary collaboration 💪💪💪

[@adamh6730]

Great show guys, could've listened to this all day. Big love from 🍁 💪 Train hard Eat harder

[@jacobtho4173]

this guy is a legend

[@albertaustin2403]

Great podcast, could've used a listing of his accolades in the beginning I had to Google who this absolute legend was

[@Bearleaux]

Mr. Ed Coan, I think you've peaked your Podcast Brian, it's all down hill from here, unless Nick gets on more regularly, then there's a chance. Speaking on just competing with yourself and staying within the things you can control is huge. In a world of Instagram Brad Castleberry's and others who are poaching those who don't know any better, it's important to stay in your lane and focus on the things you can control. Competitions are fun as hell for most of us, we're not all hitting world record PR's and such, the atmosphere and events really test ourselves. The number 1 goal should be to go in and get after it, pushing yourself and getting stronger and beating yourself, in the end if you end up on the podium that should be an added bonus. I'll say the only exception really would be those in the top 1% of the top 1% who are making a living off their strength and breaking world records.
