I thought it was dumb until I saw how they reset the weights to the top bit. It's actually really clever

@@syndrome5372of course you would think it’s dumb just because 😂🤣, you KZfaq trolls are hilarious

​@@CeeWorld69 You the only one trolling. How ironic. I also thought it was dumb until i realized the efficacy of reloading the weights. Nothing wrong with that at all get a life bro stop trolling

Because there aren't many practical uses of raw chest strength.

because of pec tear risk

@@ezradanger I don't believe that to be true, you could say the same for core strength if that's your reasoning. You don't use your core to lift, so its unimportant. Theres a reason powerlifting uses bench, and theres a reason most strongmen don't have a high bench. Meaning in certain movements (fundamental ones) powerlifters are stronger, so calling these people the strongest on earth can't be true if that's the case. They're only the strongest in certain movements. Strongman evolves all the time, we need to start adding chest movements if we're really gonna gauge overall strength.

@@gitsurfer27 Strongman doesn't have any events that isolate core strength, as far as I'm aware.

@@ezradanger Carrying and unloading, and a lot of the lifting all require core strength. You can't stabilize a 1000lb yoke without serious core strength.

I instead don't love how loose the regulations on equipment are. I mean come on, Brian's "sleeves" look like an anti-explosion lining. He still would have beaten everybody but he could barely wear them. Took them immediately off before taling the mic 😂 Apparatus is very impressive tho

I mean strongman doesn't really care what you use, there are very minimum limitations. ​@@davidepapi5178

Eddie should be the beast feeding the barrels. ;-)

Yes

Severely underrated comment

Great idea

The Strongman event is you throw the barrels down. The Crossfit event is you are Mario and need to make it to the top.

fact though he was injured but still pushed through to the end and still took first, thats something you only hear about in tales and legends, brians also in a position to help the sport of strongman along to the next level for guys like the stoltmans and hooper, etc, it is sad shaw retired when he still had a few yr's left in him but it's understandable too

The fact it was able to adjust for each person's size and have the same leverage is awesome. He really did amazing getting that thing out together

@@Ryan-wx1bii mean its gonna b eazier the wider the grip

​@@roman-om2fh I agree, I think the machine is still biased based on the person's height and shoulder/grip width. You can tell this if you watch closely when the different size contestants lift.

Lmao thats a VERY odd opinion

And Tom

And Bilton

@@Mo-kl4fb nah

Увидеть бы их в реальности. Одно из желаний I wish I could see them in reality. One of the wishes

@@_DS83_ in english

In his own show, with his own events... 🤔

Absolutely correct as far as i know👍

10kg so you're about right at 22.5lbs.

They don’t go up in equal increments

​Older.plp

Each barrel is NOT 22.5 lbs wtf lol, 22.5 lbs is the size of a small dumbbell 😂

And to think that they said Brian Shaw created this machine. I bet the staff who reset weights or have to increase weights in between reps are happy with this contraption.

Yeah I asked myself the same question. Only thing I could think of is that maybe the scoring is different for this event? No clue tbh

well since no one took the rest its not like anyone got an advantage someone else didnt get, so basically as if it wasnt allowed to begin with

At even barrels wins the fastest

If several finish on the same number of barrels, the fastest gets the highest points.

Lol! They train chest press all the time.

@@ytsux9259 no they don't most of them don't bench that heavy you have to understand that powerlifting training and strongmen training both are entirely different

Brian Shaw once told Eddie he never trained arms which is crazy when you look at the size of his biceps and forearms

@@thepgguy.9343 bench and chest press are two different things you dont need to bench alot to do chest press its literally an isolated exercise that doesnt even require you to balance the weight. they literally have them doing chest press because you can not train for it and still have far less chance at injury compared to bench press.

​@ytsux9259 note also its a STANDING chest press, which is absolutely not something they train for. Just think about the mechanism of action in the body, you are no longer pushing the weight "up" against gravity, but "forward" with gravity acting perpendicular. Its a very different movement regardless of whether they train bench/chest or not.

Honestly, I'm glad it jammed on him rather than anyone else. Just to keep drama out of the event. Amazing effort!

LOL, I think if it had come down to time ad not reps then they would have owed him about 8 seconds.

You'de think that would be basic, also not having to wait 5 mins between lifter would be a lot more engaging.

Still young brother keep ear goin 💪🏽God bless

He didnt invent this
