As much as I want to see Tom Stoltman retain his title, nothing would make me happier than seeing you win your 5th and final worlds!

[@Justin-jg2hi]

I was thinking about this. It would be the perfect swan song for him to win worlds, and the Shaw Classic. Story book ending

[@reallymysterious4520]

I want to see Mitch win but would be just as happy to see Brian win it

[@lunaretic3]

I wanna see the World's Strongest Gay win.

[@BuffPomsky]

Seeing Tom's performance at ASC, brian def has other people to worry about instead of Tom

[@karllloyd755]

Yeah I love stoltmans but they didn’t show up at the Arnold’s quite worrying really

[@brycedecory4946]

In really hope Brian wins it! 5 times WSM sounds so great for a nice man man like him!

[@TheVanillatech]

I kinda look at it like he DID win 5, cos when that sack slipped off the platform into the ocean, that was a 1 in 10,000 stroke of bad luck. Shaw was definitely the strongest that year. But shit happens. Kinda like when Thor decided, mid event, to scream into the camera and play up the crowd, costing him not only 1st place in the event but the overall win as well! (DOH!).

[@jonathancreamer7663]

​@@TheVanillatech Had they used the new system instead of the count back he would be 5X champ...He still tied Big Z in that competition. I truly believe both systems are wrong and they should have a separate tie breaker event

[@punchblmers192]

I wish he didn't pick it up with his BACK!

[@freddesk1693]

Moving that fast at 400 plus pounds is insane !

[@theonereborn9299]

I'd crap my pants if i was infront of him hahaha

[@shuvodipray6255]

Hitting the brakes while moving that fast at 400 plus is even more insane.

[@eivindgjengstjohansen9625]

@@theonereborn9299 imagine him as a mentally disturbed man with a violent temper almost like the berserker in dead Island

[@bulletproof1581]

Now just think about the fact that Brian could move much much faster if he did his moving events without the sprinting in between, and then got proper sprint drill training from a legit coach. Brian moving like an Olympic sprinter would be the maddest thing to see aha

[@fatmunch6318]

He used to be a basketball player

[@therambunctiousrobloxian9323]

Graham's speed is just something else

[@steelrain4362]

The strength has always been there. Seeing him focus on speed is awesome.

[@bulletproof1581]

Yes he should be focusing on speed, but the way he's doing it is all wrong. He's been taking this same approach since the weights were lowered in comps and he's been sub best ever since. Brian needs to go back to being bigger and lifting the heaviest weight he can lift, also get rid of the sprinting in between loading event training. He should get in touch with a legit sprint coach, give them info on what he's already doing for training, and create an add on with proper sprint drills to make him faster. He needs to go on a cut and become super lean so he weighs as little as he can, then start his strongman training whilst doing his sprint drills so his body can comfortably adjust, after 2 weeks of starting sprint drills he then starts his super bulk whilst keeping the sprint drills in. If Brian needs to move fast enough he needs to properly get himself to move fast enough.

[@jackaltricipi]

@@bulletproof1581 needs to go back to being bigger but also sprint and weigh as little as he can? lol c'mon now

[@idk13539]

Like any of u no better than these guys

[@bulletproof1581]

@@jackaltricipi Bruh you must of been reading the part where I said he needs to go on a cut, then you must of got distracted by a squirrel or something lol. Focus on the rest of my comment and what he should do after the cut, my comment makes perfect sense lol

[@jackaltricipi]

@@bulletproof1581 not really. It was a poorly constructed comment that went in several directions. Trying typing it out like someone else is going to read it. Brian is trying to slim down a bit to get faster without losing any strength.

[@AndrewDembouski]

That Hicks guy is INCREDIBLE. Scary strong, fast af, and explosive Can’t wait to see how WSM goes

[@jaket2274]

Terry with the roast at 2:20 😂 that was a heartbreaker

[@faowlow]

😂😂

[@monkeymann300]

😂😂

[@bigperm4119]

He looked around just to make sure Shaw wasn't looking

[@inflameslp311]

Watching him at the end you can tell that while he is giving it everything he’s got, he is really taking it all in and appreciating what strongman really is all about for him. I’d love to see him win it all, but I’m sure that regardless of where he finishes, he will get quite the WSM send off.

[@goldenwolf8081]

Agreed he is a an absolute legend in strongman! So many great moments and victories for Brian he will always be remembered in strongman forever

[@TheVanillatech]

@@goldenwolf8081 The nicest and most genuine guy to ever compete, and a 4 time winner (5 if you accept that the sack into the ocean was just bad luck, which it was).

[@wheelmanstan]

I hope his Trey makes it down there to train with him one last time.

[@allwack]

Seeing Terry move like that STILL is bananas! One of the GOATs imo, at the very least an immediate addition to WSM hall of fame!

[@Bryanseas]

Noncap

[@danielmellor9530]

Till this day, 2007 was Terry’s year to win it and I truly believe if it wasn’t for the personal life troubles he went through at that time that he spoke about I believe he would’ve won that one. I mean he came third with all of that.

[@bloviatingbeluga8553]

And after he lost a TON of weight

[@TheVanillatech]

@@danielmellor9530 No shame in being the 3rd strongest man alive on the planet. I always thought he was too fat. I know that meant he had a banker in the truck pull etc, but it didn't help overall. He definitely thought too much, but he was an intelligent guy. Maybe he knew somethings we didn't, I mean, he's the expert after all. We just sit at home eating burgers and watching, and typing shit on KZbin.

[@MrAlla0222]

@@TheVanillatech hahaha. Legendary comment 🤣

[@TylerM007]

It’s always great to see Tyler in a video. He seems like an awesome guy. GO GET number 5 Brian! You can do it. 💪🙌

[@ryananderson4283]

The "what I would rather do" side conversations with Terry are priceless. He needs to be the break between each different movement in all of Brian's videos 🤣

[@09Woozer]

Pretty cool Brian lets everyone come out to train with him. I’m guessing not everyone has access to everything he has like the finger training set up

[@chasetoncain]

brian existing is literally so inspiring all of these guys are just so insanely strong it makes me want to push myself! incredible incredible stuff

[@jsettle939]

Tip for Brian but I don’t think he’ll ever see this: when you are sprinting back to implements your torso is very upright and you running with ‘high’ knees. It may be beneficial to lean forward into the sprint to use your body weight to accelerate and if you are leant over forward you can possibly put one hand down onto the implements and use it as a pivot point to turn around quicker and be in a good position to pick them up. Really wanna see number 5!!

[@RealJKal]

Man who has never been a 6 foot eight, 400 pound man, tells 6 foot eight, 400 pound man how to run. Lol

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

@@RealJKal He isn't running optimally. You would also think that with his background in high school and D1 college basketball that he would be more laterally coordinated at that size but he isn't. With running form training, he could improve all the stutter stepping, and gain more power per stride and get places quicker. Also, the pivot foot is a good tip. He should pick it up easily, as the aforementioned college basketball background would help.

[@andreww.376]

My guess is it has to do with his size and the extra weight of the objects on his chest. If he leaned forward at his height with all that extra weight up high, he may be more likely to trip and fall forward.

[@TheJipino]

Imagine telling Brian Shaw how to be a better strongman as a random internet user

[@dominicsanchez6449]

Was thinking same thing dawg, he got that big man run. He does need to be careful on how he pivots though because of his age and weight so that could be why.

[@brandonbaldwin6845]

Love seeing Tyler back in the video!

[@MoralesCorner]

About time we see Brian and Terry back training together. They used to put in the work back in the day. It's only fitting having Big Terry back for the last dance

[@ScourtasFitness]

So happy to see Tyler!!

[@BrianWoodhaus]

Great WSM training video, so awesome to watch. Best line is Terry saying he would rather break both his legs than put on tacky again, and he dresses well. He’s like James Bond XXL

[@kennynakawaki]

I wonder how Brian’s and Arnold’s friendship has been since Arnold made that “screw your freedom” video and Brian took down that picture of him in his old gym.

[@Bryanseas]

I wanna see brian shaw and Arnold in a hell in the cellcage match

[@mptness4389]

[@monicaolteanu7490]

This generation is amazing as well

[@TheVanillatech]

@@monicaolteanu7490 Nah this generation is void of personalities, except maybe Martins and now Hooper. Stoltmans are cheaters. Thor has left cos Eddie was a cheater. Covid years contests sucked with no crowd. Definitely in a slump right now.

[@Adam-lc3is]

The problem for me and this has been discussed its turned more into the worlds fastest man, I'd way perfer to see the guys go for a pure strength based approach rather than who can move x in the fastest time. If it was a pure strength competion I truly believe Brian would be untouchable.

[@J.c410]

Wsm has always been like this people complaining about this are just new to the sport. Rogue and arnolds are were the heavy weights are. Also brian as been average at best in every static based lift for the past few years, dont act lile he is loosing because of speed

[@kuhanblock9380]

@@J.c410 ngl it is kinda weird that the World Strongest Man competition has a lot of endurance challenges instead of pure strength but then again that's how it's always been

This is what we like to see. A Hungry Brian Shaw. Last Show Best Show!

[@monicaolteanu7490]

Brian coming motivated like this raises the competition level for everybody. They all watching him, to back and train harder. This is going to be one of the best shows in strongman ever.

[@shambleslongplay3566]

Good luck. always great to see you compete.

[@lukebbuff]

Watching Terry vs Graham on the fingers shows how much of an advantage height is on those. ETA: same on the loading. Grahams foot speed is wild but short levers make a lot of events hard.

[@garysnow1475]

Graham kicked ass on that wheel though!!

What a bunch of big muscle bros ;) I love ‘em all. Good luck picking things up and putting them down !

[@jlogan2228]

Brians speed is the only thing that could possibly cost him so im glad to see him focus on that. Unfortunately WSM is turning into heavy crossfit so someone his size used to have a leg up but now its actually a disadvantage. Fingers are crossed for title five!

[@seanwhitehall4652]

Nah, Tom is a comparable size

[@spookyreaper1702]

It’s wsm I don’t see the need for low weight speed events. Us the fans can change it by not supporting their stupid decisions. If we wanna watch strong guys like Brian lift then we can get that in the future

[@J.c410]

You realise he hasnt been at the top of the pack in statics events for years ? You guys act like speed is the obly issue but he gets average results in most max events aswell. Wsm as always been the same way, it isnt becoming lighter or more dynamic than it always was

[@trident1314]

​@@spookyreaper1702WSM has always been like this, it's not just about static strength. Regardless whether fans support it or not the athletes are still going to compete as it has the "world's strongest man" title attached to it

[@BatSoupGrind]

@@spookyreaper1702 The massive weights are a huge appeal for fans but weve had so many injured strongman the past couple years, especially at ultra heavy shows like the Arnold. Remember the year with the record Elephant bar deadlift where 3-5 athletes were all injured just on that lift alone? If we want to see good competition and a healthy future of the sport, some kind of compromise has to be reached.

I just have to imagine how much more amazing Brian would be if he had this kind of dream gym from the very start of his strongman journey. Kind of stinks that it’s finally built so close to the tail end of his career. I hope he continues sharing this gym with future strongmen. Such a unique and amazing facility that just can’t be duplicated.

@@jamesg1501 Trey is lucky to have enough space where he can easily walk around after a set. Mateusz has all his equipment packed into a tool shed where you have to climb over and squeeze between things. It looks like an eye poke injury waiting to happen.

I mean Novikov literally was using a rope and a plate for a lat pulldown in one of his videos, I don't think that Brian has ever been lacking in the gym department.

[@RenegadeGamer89]

He may not compete anymore but I'm sure he'll still use his gym for everything regularly, at least until he's at the point where he can't physically do it anymore. It would be a really cool idea for him to have the new gen strongmen training at his gym, with him being more like a coach to them.
