[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

@@Mr.M1STER Large hands dont mean a thing if you dont have grip strength. I dont understand why people think thats the only correlation. I know people with baseball mitts for hands and cant even palm a basketball.

[@bigtom9459]

I feel like hand size is a pretty massive factor in this

[@BryBurger]

Def a factor. Bigger/longer hands = more grip surface so not a true test of grip strength. Perhaps if the test had differing blob sizes so they better match everyone's hand size.

[@williamensinger9788]

Great to see so many big names on KZbin getting into grip training

[@biobot4967]

Brian is lifting all those things like it's nothing while the others are struggling like hell.

[@stevemf11]

Leaving the handles on the other halves might actually make a great grip training implement, all sorts of things you could do with that

[@bulletproof1581]

I was thinking the same thing, I thought the handles were kept on for that purpose until they cut them off, there is a video I saw on youtube a while back of a boxer doing some wrist exercises, he had his forearm leaning on the edge on a boxing ring, and using just his hand and wrist he was lifting a kettle bell from one side of his hand over to the other side, and then back over again, Brian should keep the handles on the weights and do a wrist strength gauntlet as well :)

[@alexnelson09]

I think they have one half with handles the other half without?

[@bulletproof1581]

alexnelson09 Maybe they do if they have more dumbbells, but they cut the handles completely off all the dumbbells that they had in this video so maybe they don't, I guess we'll have to see when another grip video get's made.

[@stevemf11]

@@bulletproof1581 Yep, same thing I was thinking. I have a few home made things like that, learned it from an old time strongman technique I read about

[@pghguerrilla8508]

I'm so happy you uploaded this. I was just watching your redcon video.

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

Brians positivity is measurable :)

[@overgrownturnip]

Having a big hand must be a huge advantage for this

[@lonespartan31289]

"Get this man a chair" the commentary is so hilarious. You guys rock

[@akjcorps]

More than grip strength I think the heavier weights were too wide across for the other people's small hands to be able to hold properly

[@bulletproof1581]

Well it might not be good for improvement purposes, I'm sure getting grips of specific sizes for each guys hand size would make for better improvement of each guy, but lifting the same width weight is still relative to what one guy can do compared to other guys, so you still have to see and compare how people stack up with one another :)

[@MichaelSteinmetzSUP]

That is part of grip strength. A larger hand can be advantageous in grip feats. If they were lifting that much weight by round, knurled handles then they could have all lifted all of them.

[@plusnightlife]

What? No. Grip strength is akin to squeeze strength. That's why grip trainers are things you squeeze. This video is not a grip strength test, it's a lift weights off the ground test, which is a combination of hand size, strength, and grip strength.

[@bulletproof1581]

plusnightlife please please please stop trying to act like you know what you're talking about.......... first of all brian shaw who has been put on record multiple times as being the world strongest man, someone who has spent many many years not only lifting, but also trying to find out as much as possible on lifting, this man has called what they're doing a grip strength test, and you think such a man is going to get something as easy as grip strength wrong in terms of what falls under it ? secondly and I'm not sure how this hasn't clicked in your mind, but when they grab the blobs, they literally squeeze their fingers and thumb into the blob as if their trying to get their fingers and thumb to meet in the middle, this is what makes them able to pick up the weight, you know what also involves squeezing and trying to get your fingers and thumb to meet in the middle?? a grip trainer lol

[@MichaelSteinmetzSUP]

@plusnightlife There are different types of grip strength. If you go to reddit.com/r/griptraining you will see all of the different things people do to try to improve their grip strength. Grippers are only one of many training tools. From the FAQ of that subreddit: "There are three main types of grip strength: Support, Crush, and Pinch. Support is how much you can statically hold ie holding a deadlift bar or fat grip handle. Crush is dynamically closing your hand such as grippers, grip machines, or barbell/dumbbell rollups. Pinch involves bringing your thumb and fingers together such as with a pinch block or hub pinch or a dynamic device like the titan's telegraph key. There are other divisions and subdivisions and types of strength that blur the category lines such as bending strength, wrist strength, lever strength, open vs closed hand, dynamic vs static, crimp, etc but are generally more advanced."

[@slicktype001]

This would be an awesome idea to do w/ top grippers of the world. A yearly competition would be very cool!

[@tomcdonnell]

You are doing this right. Definitely go ahead with the leaderboard. Kind of like Top Gear with the fastest lap. Every visitor must be ranked and have their reputation challenged!

[@themarcoharder]

Hey Brian, I just realized this could be a Strongman event called Atlas Pebbles. You could either have small platforms (maybe 12-24in high all the way or decreasing as the weight increases) or have a rope / wall at 12-18 in high and the goal is for one to move the weight over the other side of wall. Both variations use only one hand. Winners are decided by time.

[@tommyriordan870]

Simple things like this shows brian is a beast

[@littleike2228]

Juji!!!!!!!!

[@andrewpantke1533]

Brian that’s awesome. I’m hosting a grip contest next year with a blob load to a 20” platform with a 60 second time limit. Similar rules as atlas stones to a platform. Using 6 blobs half 80, half 90, Blob 50, half 110, Fatman, half 120 and a blobzilla.

[@gripstrength]

Gonna be awesome!

[@josephbohme7917]

Mr Shaw you need a tube or bar or rail along side the column of weights and you need to lift each weight over the rail (use a 2x4 stud) braced at a height of 18", and @ 8" to right/left of columns center. You must set each one down before release no dropping. That, on a timer is a a good routine to race with.

[@dennislaux]

These guys are just a good group to have as friends and although Brian is one of the strongest men in the world and holds so many records, you'd never now it at all because he's so supportive of others and has a great sense of humor while be very modest all along the way. His records says it all about him and he has no need to act like a jerk reminding everyone in each sentence. really good guy it seems.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

The dimensions of the weights matter more then the weight itself, it's harder to lift something that is too large for your hands, there's less surface of your fingers to apply grip.

Where is that collab with Demolition Ranch??

[@travgreen]

Basically just a hand size test. someone with weak but huge hands could "grip" a basketball, whereas someone with smaller hands and a 600 pound deadlift wouldn't be able to lift it an inch

[@siheath3648]

Bigger the hands the more surface area of the object you can cover, like you say, it's all about the hand size, rather than grip for this particular test.

[@WetPig]

But these aren't basketballs. If a golf ball weighted 200lbs, would you be able to lift it? Probably no. Not arguing with you because I really don't know how big these blobs are, can't judge based on a video. The guy who did the most had the skinniest and weakest arm. Thin fingers = more pressure = more grip I would guess???

[@WetPig]

But these aren't basketballs, I doubt they are too hard to grip. As I said, I don't know their size so really can't argue with you :)

[@WetPig]

@Lifes a Beach If they were as strong as Shaw they would be able to pick up more, yea 😁😁😁

[@TarisRedwing]

good stuff man. I know grip vids have been doing well on YT as of late.

[@bh-0330]

Gotta make ones that are all the same diameter but greater amounts of weight. Some people just don't have the hands big enough to grip some of those. would be cool to test grip strength relative to your physiology

[@gripstrength]

A lot of times, the dudes in the video are trying to lift them "backwards." Keep the fingers on the side that used to have the handle attached, and it's a bit easier to lift.

[@garysellars8914]

LOL! Brian you make it look so easy! Most ordinary folks will really struggle with those blobs even folks who are strong from lifting weights.

Should get a handle with a chain holding weights and the handle can be interchangeable for people with smaller hands to make it more even
