Lmfao thanks for the laugh mate

[@Fugue602]

I thought my dad was the strongest man!?! I've been lied to!?!!

[@thispersonsdad7247]

I'm only the second strongest man... sorry

[@thispersonsdad7247]

and yes I can

[@Dannymandally]

Fugue State most in innocent joke I've ever heard. Good though refreshing

[@MLDRBRY]

No, your dad could beat Brian Shaw

[@Michael-4]

Is your dad Eddie Hall?

[@nosirrahx]

That bucket of sand started off as a bucket of rocks.

. Lol...!!!!

[@tosgem]

I love his sincere intent to share knowledge, and to share the technical details of his sport. Imagine Sebastian Vettel taking time out to coach everyone on the internet about how he drives, or Usain Bolt to help with sprint training and technique, that's what this is like to me. Also, been watching "Nicks Power and Strength", and Luimarco, and I think Shaw, Magnussen etc are real men and the body builders are just kind of weird guys. I would love to see Shaw next to one of these big body builders, I'm sure he was dwarf them

[@reyman4995]

His forearms are bigger then my legs

[@thejasvenkat]

Sher is that you!?

[@AlexMont101]

Mark's a smart bloke to get you on board. Your a great guy and a lot of fans like to hear your opinions on issues, myself included. Keep well Brian.

[@blahplayhard4092]

Brian Shaw is like the left tackle you created in Madden franchise mode who cost like $20 million a year and pancaked a guy every play.

[@shorethingfishing4044]

Blah Playhard imagine being a qb and seeing him run at you

[@shorethingfishing4044]

DH Thomas hahahahha

[@noahthiel1448]

It's cool that you guys and Brian had struck up a friendship following his visit to Super Training. Brian seems like a really cool guy, and I really love these collabs

[@nordicpeptides866]

brian is a paid slingshot athlete, this is his job to do this and it's awesome.

[@borgullet3376]

Brian... You are a BOSS... The most comprehensive breakdown on ANY weight training issue I have seen on KZbin. Thank you.

[@chrisoakland]

I honestly think Brian Shaw could crush a man's head with his bare hands if he wanted to. One does not simply lift a 130lbs block with one hand like that.

[@IronWolverine1973]

It chop in half! 75 pounds...

[@GenghisKal]

+420VapeLife You know The Mountain is actually played by strongman Hafthor Bjornsson?

[@guydaley530]

He's really a GOOD instructor. He's setting himself up to be a strength coach or something else in the strength industry after his strongman career winds down. Anybody that trains under him will be blessed. Maybe even an Olympic coach or owning his own gym. Ha, nickname him the Professor, he not only knows his shit, but he knows how to convey it to others, very, very well.

[@Mylada]

Both heat and ice reduce the pain in the short term. However, heat has been found to be better on long term. If you want to get trough important training session use ice. It reduces the inflammation and helps with the pain. Reducing the inflammation can be bad. Its one of the recovety mechanisms for your body. So actually ice can make the recovery slower. Heat allows for more blood flow and faster recovery. So use heat, if you are looking to heal something in the long term. :D

[@taoist32]

Using ice for short term inflammation is valuable. I do sports massage and put my arms in ice for 1 to 5 minutes after work. After ice I use a small heat pad to warm up the muscles enough so I can stretch. Ice for this short amount of time does not hinder the inflammation process

[@Mylada]

taoist40 Yah.. Some people promote ice for long term recovery. If you ice multiple times a day for weeks, it will definitely hinder the recovery process.

[@taoist32]

+Jake H it sure will. Some people get a lot of misinformation.

[@st.fiacre6685]

Ice can be very beneficial,but it usually has a delayed reaction for 24 hours,before that, the pain can be intensified.Ice can heal.There is a reason that we store meat in a freezer or that during heart surgery the heart is kept in ice.Or the reason extinct 10,000 year old animals have been preserved in a glacier...think about it...Its a form of incubation.

[@Mylada]

St.Fiacre How does ice heal if it reduces the inflammation?

[@GlockenspielSAS]

Exactly what I wanted to know. Brian is really great at explaining.

[@HybridFitness]

Grip strength is so heavily underrated. I love that finger gripping the DB.

[@ZeidGho]

What's a DB?

[@Cosmic_Code]

yes, what is that. a Dumbbell or

[@danaephia3582]

"And weakness is never a strength" that's why he's my Idol. Love this guy. He's one of the few ppl I press thumbs up even without watching the video.

[@2gsTraining]

Hyped any time I see a Brian Shaw video up!

[@yellowflash5555]

I started doing pull ups and Chin ups from close to wide grip variations on a 2x6. That helped me a lot

[@IRONGRIPARMY]

Wow, appreicate the highly actionable information. I always questioned how often to train specifically grip. Thanks a lot.

[@UnlimitedHatred]

anyone else think that Shaw should have played Kingpen in the DareDevil series on Netflix?

[@jeremywhitfield4556]

Hooolllly shit Yess, I thought I was the only one who saw it that way

[@mnbvcxz123S]

no, he has the body but he face is not intimidating at all

[@jeremywhitfield4556]

+nick dean I guess he doesn't have the voice or the acting skills which is why he hasn't been cast but he still looks like him a lot.

[@jooka2010]

Implying that kingpins face was ever intimidating? lmao

[@iliketohearmenmoaning]

Blaine Sumner works better.

[@RiderofDeath91]

Strongest man and still such a nice dude

[@Pontus95]

Grip training, here I come!

[@SteveEsp3]

Team Supertraining is crushin it.

[@TheHappyhorus]

Great advice Brian, I learned something new here, thanks mate. Keep up the great work big man.

[@Jeckaa84]

How can you not love this man.

[@SouthernBoulder]

Great stuff, moving from a martial arts background, to lifting then to rock climbing and its amazing how much people can over complicate grip and people are so focused on their own discipline. People seem to love to think that they are the first to do something and that they need to do something special but people have been using grip strength forever and although there are variations in the way grip strength is used the training really has the same fundamentals from 100's of years ago. Great video and happy to see the sand bucket mixed in there maintenance seems to be to often neglected in grip training and for such a delicate group of muscles is so important.

[@paulferguson8935]

Of course its simple just dump the straps

[@SouthernBoulder]

Straps have a place even from a rock climber where grip is so key to progress but if you if you use them for that final %1 not the other 99% it just depends on what you are actually tying to work on

[@jeremywhitfield4556]

Nice I did the opposite, started lifting and then moved on to martial arts, but I still try to lift as often as I can

[@SouthernBoulder]

***** Its definitely a great way to build some grip strength but working in both construction and massage application of grip strength is a big thing to. I thought going from building to climbing then to massage each time I though my hands were pretty strong each time I was wrong and realised that the difrent applications need a fair bit of work for the transition

[@SouthernBoulder]

Jason Todd Its super improtant to have balance in your training

[@cesareneasguerreiro6975]

I like the "grab the dumbbell in the air" movement!

[@dho]

i have a pretty strong grip from being a cyclist but we only really use our grip in a specific situation so my forearms look a little uneven haha, been trying hard to even it out with various exercises and it looks like these grip exercises will help. i'll give it a shot, thanks!

[@dude157]

I like the way Brian Shaw answers a question precisely 1 question prior to it being asked. Auto upvote for Brian Shaw.

[@Martini-nv9hh]

Brian Shaw is such a modest guy ......well done to him ......keep it this way Brian

[@we_are_lucid]

Thanks for sharing this awesome content 🙏 Learned a ton from this video. Also, around the 4 minute mark, Brian suggested using cold therapy on the forearms for after we workout. I’ve recently done some research on extreme temperature training and found some interesting data. Many studies have found cold exposure impairs muscle growth and also nervous system activity (which determines strength). So even though ice baths have many benefits, they are not useful immediately post workout...and I used to take post-workout ice baths all the time. I still take ices baths 1-2 times a week, but for different reasons. On the other extreme, much research has suggested that heat therapy (saunas) increase growth hormone, hypertrophy and strength gains. I’ve been sitting in a sauna post-workout these past few weeks and have been feeling great throughout the days. The T flows naturally, especially with strength training and intense full-body training 🤙blessings y’all 🙏

[@XieTianXieDi888]

Thanks for getting him on!

[@UrbanLegend2k11]

I'm liking the guest hosts format for the power project.

[@dudeistotle1545]

I'm digging that the power project isn't just power lifting but reaching out to other athletes in different strength disciplins. Need a power project by that cross fit guy supertraining does stuff with talking about conditioning/gpp

[@Postermaestro]

invaluable information that can be extrapolated to strength training in general, not just grip

[@barryarmstrong5232]

You seem like such an awesome, humble guy. Keep up the videos!

[@bernardroemmele5769]

I never use strap's never needed them and I think you're right about that so many people use to give me slack about why don't you use strap's now I know it's the right thing to do always thought this but it's good to hear Brian shaw to say it.

[@megapaulist]

you guys consistently release the best content

[@Davotheledge]

This video is sensational. Favorited at once.

[@Hirschfaenger1]

Thank you Brian!!! The advice to train the extensors too will hopefully save my right bicep tendon. Feels awesome!

[@Diaz26IV]

You got a lot of questions answered.. Thank you.

[@jaredfarr5557]

I can't comprehend why this channel doesn't have more subs

[@cookie12581]

Looking in top shape in this video Brian 💪🏻

[@bpresgrove]

Great info! I can't get my max dead because my left hand looses its grip and really frustrates me. I just started using straps but now I think I'm gonna use them sparingly so I can build my grip more.

[@zxxXMETALLICAXxxz]

6:01-6:16 could be part of a good rap! You're almost connecting words like Eminem already Brian, keep it up!

[@cristiansmistad1823]

This was great. NOBODY ever talks about this!!!

[@steve122288]

he should paint himself green and play live action shrek lol

[@tod3632]

fuck ya, great video. Do this more often

[@Bigbencher]

Big Brian...that's one big dude!

[@MrSylvester1111]

That bucket and sand thing is gold!

[@KaysianReigns]

Thanks for this advise, really appreciate it a lot.

[@123hiroya]

Extremely usefull info, learned a lot of stuff i wanst aware off

[@NorkusMartynas]

For anyone wondering whether You should watch this video or no, the answer how to increase Your grip strength is to stop wearing straps

[@wessteyrn7746]

MVP

[@Vecnoran]

* on accessory movements.

[@zeussupreme8309]

+Vecnoran straps are for pussies

[@yungceejay6192]

Do you even lift? There is a time and a place for everything. George Leeman uses straps all the time.

[@Vecnoran]

Zeus Supreme Don't tell me; I've never used them. Brian Shaw uses them in this video though, so I'm going to say you're wrong despite all the evidence you presented.

[@UnleashedTraining101]

Also, there are climbing drills that are really good for grip. Hang board for example.

[@10n0]

Brian is such a smart and wonderful guy.

[@Supericegabriel]

the video nobody aksked for but everbody wanted it.

[@matthewcrampton5523]

Great video, very informative!

[@300rum9]

well said Brian thanks for the advice

[@WorldwideDarts]

Brian, at some point you should take a run at closing the Captains of Crush #4

[@Pontus95]

Well yes, it's been 12 years now since the last guy did it, whom once was world's strongest man as well, so Brian should give it a shot!

[@Hhhlll7778]

Mike Burk could probably close it

[@WorldwideDarts]

Thomasgipsy Not without specific training. As of today nobody in the world has closed the #4 under the new Ironmind rules.

[@meatsackproductions4533]

What are the new rules? I know Magnus Samuelsson closed it years ago.

[@Pontus95]

+Popcorn Kernel ye, he was the last one, I met him a few years back, absolutely huge hands on the guy! I've also heard that they made something with the rules!

[@oboyy]

Mr Shaw could be very intimidating but he's so nice. I want to give him a hug.

[@ctr1502]

as a beginner I started grip training immediately. The best way I found was to hang from a bar every time I went. then it will work itself out in the long run. just don't use straps for as long as possible.

[@Paul_Strength]

Really informative, thank you

[@alexmora2342]

Great video! Brian shaw the best!

[@caoscosmos]

Damn, he's totally right. Brian Shaw is awesome. And what he says about the extensors is REALLY important... I injured myself working too much on my flexors, and a really annoying pain started to appear on my forearm. Specially when I performed bicep curls with a barbell or any extremely supinated movement... I didn't realize it was beacuse my extensors were WEAK AS FUCK. I started to train my extensors with sand, pillows stacked, rubber bands... and boom, the pain completely dissapeared. This man know what he says. Brian Shaw is da man

[@TheRealOtakuEdits]

I'm feeling just a huge amount of respect just looking at his body. I am shamelessly admiring.

[@penguino8440]

I love this guy- super strong, very nice, and really smart. Great dude

[@intencityfan]

such a nice guy

[@aini9528]

Wow thank you so much!

[@rak000]

Such a solid and awesome fucking video

[@kristoffer7000]

Hey Brian! Can you tell me what muscles to work, in order to balance out your lower back? Avoid pain etc... Thx

[@UnleashedTraining101]

I like to do a ladder of dumbbell lunges. I’ll work my way from 10kg dumbbells up to 50kg dumbbells in 2kg increments. It’s a lot of volume on the legs, and the grip is challenged to the extreme.

[@robertchase8504]

Good video👍 I’ve seen him on worlds strongest man challenge. Will try out the sand

[@twhiz92]

....Did he just pick up that 130# rock like it was a melon

[@gamebred26]

no...that was off a 130lb dumbell

[@Tyler21Roy]

No not true.

[@jrex3]

That was blobzilla

[@thispersonsdad7247]

Bodybuildingking the old york dumbells like that ran heavy. There's tons of blobs that are more than half of what the dumbells say. Jedd Johnson has a half 100 that weighs 56.6 pounds and a half 120 that also weighs in way over 60 pounds but I don't remember exactly how much.

[@DAAEY]

[@milomoran582]

[@SkyAdict]

The way he descripted the bucket of sand part was performed opposite on the video?

[@thispersonsdad7247]

Yes

[@archilonshadowheart7]

wouldn't reverse wrist curls make more sense? that with the pinching and gripping.

[@Dizzzy-007]

Brian Shaw for president!

[@boom-bm1kl]

4x's world's strongest man!! Hopefully 5 coming soon

[@10thejgm78]

this dude's just fuckin awesome

[@kmegrou59]

You guys think that having strong hands helps also with the bench? In my opinion I think it does have a direct impact as you're able to grip the bar with more force, therefore stabilizing the wrist, forearm, bicep to be all aligned.

[@davidricci7736]

Lot's of help. Thank you for your time. I know you speak from a position of success and experience. In a different realm, weakness is indeed strength, because it is replaced with God's strength (2 Corinthians 12:10). I do realized this text is referring to something different than what you are talking about. Again, thank you.

[@Linus_Gabriel_Sebastian]

Great advice!

[@martinmi5]

At 1:14 that is actually a 15 inch laptop Brian is holding in his hand. Size perspective.

[@nickkraw1]

Brian is an athlete who already has a lot of muscle, cryotherapy and use of ice might not impede him. However, regular athletes using ice often is not advisable as it reduces inflammation. Unless you have an inflammation problem, it is one of your body's main signalling methods to usher in muscular adaptations and primary modes of recovery.

[@hussainfatmi9566]

i love ur workout brian

[@boandlkramer8935]

In my PERSONAL experience my forearms and calves recover very fast. i think its cause theyre slow twitch dominant and therefore have more mitochondria. But if youre that big its probably too much to recover.

[@bodygrace5509]

Brian Shaw u are best strongest men in the world I am see other strongest man not answering for the question but are answer the question I am like for your nature.

[@aaronb3024]

Awesome vid but did he greenscreen in the gym in the background? Theres some strange artifacting going on near the upper right of his head in the orange section

[@wils8886]

they have weak thumbs as mentioned

[@bobbyrayparris6711]

[@Hanuman_]

Solid advice

[@onemanband9329]

I try to eat like you. Fry's grocery manager loves use. plus my farm live stock has vanished. very expensive. thinking about machanical grind it all to make it stretch. 💪👅

[@TiberiusStorm]

My forearms have been sore for ages now. I use the Arm Aid device and took time off but they're still sore.

[@davidricci7736]

I enjoy listening to you. Thank you. You are accomplished and competent in your field. One qualification must be made. In the spiritual realm (which you are not addressing), our weakness becomes an opportunity for God to show his strength (2 Cor. 12:9). There, weakness, while not strength in and of itself, becomes strength by God's grant. By the same token, those who are "strong" in their own estimation (I am not referring to the physical realm of endeavor), are weak in God's eyes, because they can never avail themselves of his mighty and superior strength. Of course, I know I am on a different track here. But it's true. And anything of eternal value and true is of inestimable worth. Thanks again for your helpful tips.

[@snoo333]

good tips. thanks
