All I can say is that I hope he dives head first into the sport. AW needs all the high profile strength athletes it can get!

I think Brian would shake up the top 10 almost immediately but not Levan not yet lol. Brian would bring a loooooot of new fans to arm wrestling also 💪🏆

I want to see him train on the table with Devon!

If he comes over to arm wrestling then I believe other Strongmen will follow also.

In 5 years, yes. I'm so hyped for it. He is one of my favorite athletes ever. He'd be a great character example for the sport as well.

If Brian commits - he has an instant fan in me.

Brian reached a level of strengh never seen before in more than one area already, so i wouldn't say he can't add a couple more areas to it. most armwrestlers are normal people that trained decades to obtain strenght specific to what they do, but they are not absolute freak of nature like Brian. If he starts training armwrestling soon, i think the decade spanning from his 45 to 55 years is gonna be a scary time, i certainly hope so, as Brian is also a super awesome dude that would bring much attention and new fans.

Loving those longer videos

Brian surely got the potential. But moreover im so glad to see the increasing popularity of Arm wrestling.

Brian is obviously a titan of strength, but just like Larry Wheels he's going to have to put in a lot of work to be able to start using his strength properly for armwrestling. Once he's on that track he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the sport

Devon has already mention previously that he is in touch with Brian

I hope he goes balls to the wall developing the strength and skill for arm wrestling. There are a lot of strong guys in strongman but I always felt that Brian was genetically different from the others. Consistently so strong for so long. I hope he develops the strength for arm wrestling as well as he developed his strongman strength.

If he trains seriously for a few years he will be an elite level armwrestler

I mean with Shaw's frame, 6'8" 400+ pounds, he'd been one of the biggest and strongest arm wrestlers to walk the earth. With technique training for a few years he'd be in the top 10 in the world. That being said, I'm not sure it'd be enough to overcome the gap between him and Levan.

Hey P.E.P, been watching your videos since you had only a few hundred subs, happy to see you growing!!! I was wondering if you'd be able to share what background music you use, I really enjoy it (especially with your smooth & well spoken narration) Thanks for all the videos!

Im loving these longer-form videos

The strength you hear about Brian for strongman they all say is unbelievable

he may have not trained pronation but holy shit imagine if he went for a outside game, with that back pressure and long arm he'd be unbeatable in a couple of years

5 MONTHS?? I remember that video like it was last month,lol can't believe how long its been

Remember Shaq beat the Grippler or whoever Devons side kick was on ESPN, and we have Khaled.

I saw the title and I’m like nahhhh, then I’m listening to you speak while watching his strongman stuff and I’m like……ehhhhh yea lol

No doubt he has the strength. He’s one of the strongest men to ever live, but it will definitely take some time to get to that level.

Brian is a gifted athlete I wouldn’t be surprised if he became elite in a few years of training

I don't understand why this is really a question that's been going around. Armwrestling is such a specific strength and skill, by the time brian even entered into the realm of levan level on the table (which he likely never will) levan will be well past his prime and possibly even done competing

The more legit question is can Brian win a regional contest in armwrestling?

I'd really like to see a video of Brian Shaw pulling against a top arm wrestler to get a gauge of his ability, as well as getting a general idea of how important technique is in comparison to raw power. Love it!!!

If he committed to armwrestling fully, i think he would be in the top 10 in less than 2 years

devon doesn’t realize that he has creative genius…. this story shook all the loose flem off my lungs

Derek and brian look so much like regular people at the table when theres literally no one else at the table

This guy wouldnt beat the School boy let alone Levan 🤣🤣🤣

I would love to see him in armwrestling. Lets say: First match against Larry?

If he focused for a couple of years, the world would be very surprised. This is an immensely powerful human. Look how far Larry has progressed. Brian is much stronger. Better leverage. Would arguably learn faster too. Man is not to be underestimated.

Brian's the most lovable athlete in any sport.

0:35 Derek is huge, but Brian makes him look like a teenager.

Ya Brian I hope you go far in the arm wrestling world ill always be a fan

If he commits to training and competing arm wrestling, maybe in like 5 years or more maybe he could challenge Levan, but not right now, Levan is not just big and strong, his arm wrestling technique is also really good, remember Levan started shining in international arm wresling after 7 years of competing

Brian proszę nie porywaj się z motyką na księżyc, to jest zupełnie inna bajka, naprawdę poniesiesz druzgocącą klęskę.

The real question: can he defeat Kyriakos G

If there's one thing I know about Brian. If he sets his mind and body to it he can do anything.

When Brian retires from strongman, he will have more time to focus on armwrestling. So that free time combined with his knowledge about strength training, top level mindset and genetics, i think that he can get good fast. I think that he can get within the top 10 in the world within 2-3 years with a good coach.

Back when I was a trucker, they used to call you a super trucker if you didn’t pretend to be stoopid and say stoopid crap like “you learn something everyday” meanwhile if you knew how to steer and run gears, it was the same crap day after mind numbing day, and I did 25 years without ever even scratching a unit. It’s the same as these guys that think it would take years and years to learn how to pull and play games with the wrists… it’s not as hard as these nitwits pretend it is. And with Brian Shaw your dealing with a strength very few humans have!!!

If derik an brian started training together i think both of them would benifit hugely

I think Brian can do anything !! It would take dedicated training specifically for arm wrestling !!!

Is having long arms really a disadvantage ? I don't see a lot of short guys in arm wrestling... and talking about leverage being better for people with short arm, I think leverage would be the ratio between your arm length and how far your ligaments are attached from the joints ? Thee must be differences beetween individuals, but overall I guess its pretty proportional ?? I think short is an advantage in weight class, but in heavy weight category, I would suspect being taller means you can build more muscle mass ??

Brian could do anything, yes hes tall but very very thick. The only thing he lacks is side pressure and a bit of pronation. He can post, low hand TR, high hook, drag hook, dive hook with down pressure, press, flop press

I would say Brian can shake up the arm wrestling scene quite a bit if he was to dive into it. A lot of the pros are very skill based, but Brian has the genetics for crazy strength so if he can get the skills needed for arm wrestling, I think he'd definitely have a shot at Levan in 3-5 years

With training i think he could become a unstoppable force... brain is a amazing guy

I believe that Denis Cyplenkov is the only person who can challenge Levan fresh for fresh.

Since he already has possibly the worlds strongest grip strength, and is a genetic monster, if he trains for like 4 years, he could probably beat Ryan Bowen.

His weakness would be riser. His pronator is already huge!

8 minutes long video about if a non armwrestler could defeat the strongest armwrestler ever

did you know brian shaw has a bear rug in his house? its actually still alive its just too scared to leave.

not this decade, but definitely top rolling for strong men, also the brake tho

Levan is pure power

An interesting matchup right now would be Brian vs Jeff Dabe. I would also like to see how Levan would do in a world's strongest man competition.

I predict he is gonna shock the world of armwrestling sooner than later

Levan? No way. He could become dangerous to below top 5 contenders. Brian is not in his youth either - developing the requirements takes a long time. Recall the Thor vs Devon practice when Devon was svelte. Thor had nil chance. This was when I got really hooked to armwrestling.

Derrek said it was like a wall standing in front of him he could not see around him.

I am a Brian Shaw dude, but armwrestling is a lot about technique and strategy. He is raw strength, Levan has more experience

I think it's a good career move for any strength professional as they get older.

How long does it take to develop Wrist strength like Devon and Levan have? That is the first thing I noticed how undeveloped Brian’s wrist is compared to Levan

3:40 he just lifted me with 1 arm over his head😳😳

315 is insane. I want to see that

Unleash the Kraken................................................

Legend says brian shaw is uncle sams great great great grandson

While Brian seems to have amazing genetics for armwrestling, I think Levan is still a bit more uniquely built for it. If Brian had 10 years of experience then maybe he could reach similar levels with his insane overall strength, but it is probably too late now. However, something like top10 NA seems like a reasonable 3 year goal with his massive size and strength advantage if he commits to it.

Brian really should get into arm wrestling....or slap contests.

Love it!!!

Brian vs Larry next king of table

Brian is a great strong man, not to mention a great American, I believe he'll be a great arm wrestler, whatever happens he'll make America proud

Brian has all the tools. He just needs them dialed in.

He’s getting into another monster In arm wrestling dudes are different stronger here

He certainly has the attributes. Assuming this will be his last WSM, he’ll be able to throw himself fully into AW. At this point, can he beat Levan? No.

Damn,8 minutes?It take One second to Say no fam

If he dedicates himself to AW I certainly wouldn't bet against him. Guy is crazy strong and is a proven winner when he goes after a goal.

I think it would be a good motivator for him to go straight to Levan so he can see how weak in that sport he is Then he can train specifically armwrestling techniques and work his way up to the top

"Using a little bit of body English." French guys: "Sacre Bleu! Jambon! WTF?"

Brian will be elite fast.

Some coaching from John and Devon and yeah. A year of serious training for an athlete of his stature and he could dominate.

I suggest arm wrestling gets stronger tables if this match ever happens

He will likely never get to Levan's level. But with pretty minimal training I think he'd be in the top 50 almost instantly. His strength is just too much. Let him train for 6 Months, and have a real match against someone like Derek, Larry etc.

There is no way Levan will be around by the time Brian gets the time in to get good enough to beat Levan. Levan is on such a ridiculously crazy cycle something is gonna go.

Indont care if he beat levan ir Not, obviously not, but im so happy to see him on armwrestling,’i hope more strongmans follow him. Its a natural way

Brian is a freak of nature. If he trained with Devon for a year, he could jump into the top 5 no problem. Saying it would take him several years to learn/get strong enough is not right. Brian is not a normal person, I could see him pick all this up in under a year of dedicated training with someone like Devon.

Arm wrestling is different than Strongman , the fact is Arm wrestlers have better grip than Strongman bsc of the various types of Grip training and cupping, Brian shaw needs atleast 3 years of he trains for arm Wrestling seriously.

This is Brian’s last yr an will retire . Maybe he will focus on this after

In 2-3 years...Yes. Dave Chaffee went from novice to world champion caliber in 3 years.

it would be awesome to see 450 pound halfthor vs 450 pound brian shaw

In 5 years maybe but I doubt levon will last that long with the peds ges using

And he's 100% natural which is amazing.

Honest opinion yes about 18 months strengthen his wrist and back pressure he may be a good bet

If Shaw switched bodies with levan , levan could best himself . If Bryan trains he could one day for sure

Brian needs a year or 2 of proper training with the right guys and then absolutely he’ll crush Levan

Try mark Felix. he got incredible grip

I bet if Mike Tyson trained when younger he could have made a scary aw. Imqgine that ko power translating into that

even though he curls heavy weights on the video it doesn't seem like he has very big arms. he might be able to prove that he is strong by curling heavy weights but his arms when fully flexed on the table dont really show any definition I think all of his strength soley rely on back, shoulder and forearm and grip strength. he really needs to get some definition in those biceps if he is gonna show that he can be a really good contender in arm wrestling or a really good threat. I not say by any means that he is weak I used to arm wrestle a friend from High School who was 6'2 ft tall and he did nothing but workout he could bench press and squat and curl more weight than I could. but, I think it is crucial to develop more definition in the particular muscle group for that sport because that is an area of the body that has the most amount of stress put on when your competing in arm wrestling. even though Brian trains arms I don't think he rains them enough like the serious competitors do.

Bry has to train the same way armwresler does.

No way!

If Brian committed the same way as strong man, he would completely kick Levans ass!

Would take Brian about a decade of solid training to approach top 10. People don't understand the levels.
