I was thinking the same thing

Facts!

This guy is amazing!

Yesssss!!!!!

YES

His humbleness is as strong as he is

"Only two people have done this..." Later "only two people in the world are able to do it...." Even later "yeah, I'm one of the guys who did it."

I’m just picturing Eddie and Robert doing the record joke they make fun of Brian about world records😂

That’s why he is so awesome. Literally probably the strongest human to ever exist and so very humble.

A truly humble man who knows who he is, what he is and what he has done, and doesn't feel the need to project that. And that that kids, is greatness.

Lol 😂

It's like Brian's greatest enemy is gravity. He spends his whole life fighting it.

One of Eddie’s farts. Way too dense

Yeah it’s odd seeing him be completely out of his element vs an object

@@chrisprendergast5477 At least they're not hydrated.

The guy seemed pretty unaware of who Brian was, I'm guessing his son or grandson told him about him. That's what made things even funner to see.

Time?

10:40-11:00

🤣 he did it so easy

I mean these guys can deadlift twice this weight

It was kinda wasnt it ? The one where he, eddie, nick best and oberest did buncha old legends and stuff.

​@@thekingofkings9465 I'll never forgive History Channel for not giving them at least a second season.

they just gotta bring it back

💯💯

Brian has said they are looking into how to produce it themselves as history/discovery has no desire to do a season 2 :(@@GuestVeea

It was probably the angle, but I was nervous the garage door track was going to slice his head.

So in between events at the shaw classic this year he had small grip competitions with about 10 athletes give or take and they used the blobs from brians gym and a few Thomas inch dumbbells

It’s already being done at the Shaw classic

You obviously don’t watch his competitions

​@@seanmurray6380I think he had a "grip" only comp in mind

I'd rather see him arm wrestle. That would be awesome

I bet sooner then later, it's gonna drive him nuts having that in his gym and not being able to lift it.

He's gonna lift that dumbbell 1000% sure!!!!

Brian looked like he had seen a ghost after his 1st attempt - completely silent. He has met his match - for now...

No doubt. It will be at least a year before he lifts it, but he will still be the only one to ever do it................@@thechaineman

he is at least 50lbs off

That would actually be a fuckin fantastic idea. Add it in as its own side event? That would be dope

This needs to happen!

@@Sins_of_War24 side event is a good one, they could set up various dumbbells with other grip events.

@@johnfox7243 Absolutely

Objectively really, the strongest man to ever live, and such a gentle soul

Well, he is wearing the t shirt 😊

I know right? He was bent over with jo support and just moved it over like it was. 5lb toy. Insane

Yeah thats almost double my weight. Lifting it with 2 hands would make me feel like a bad ass

That was nuts! my current deadlift record is 355. Not much, I know :)

I would like to try with two hands and if I could I honestly be proud lol

350lbs isn't that much. It's hard because of the circumference of the handle, it wants to roll out of the hands and without extremely large powerful hands you can't stop it from rolling. For an average guy using 2 hands if you have at least a 400lb (maybe less because you're just breaking ground not even deadlifting it) deadlift this is probably pretty easy to get off the floor, opposite facing hands counter-act the rolling, which makes hand strength less of a factor, and it's just using your posterior chain to get it off the ground.

I think Brian should set it on a scale and try to lift it. That way he can see how close he is and also know the actual weight. If it's over 350lbs then shave some of it off. There's no need for it to be any heavier than that. haha

my thoughts exactly , he dominates so many of the worlds hardest grip feats

Dudes gym could one day be a museum

Til the wall collapses under all that weight

I really like the guy. Seemed like a super nice guy and missed his old friend. Shame Jim was not around to see it too.

Yeah man, that would have been awesome!

Yeah ... no

Why not go out YOURSELF and do it?

@@weedermann​​⁠what are you talking about? So you’re saying you have no faith that Brian can do it?

@@colonelJ77hell yes he will!

@@LJones69 yeah... no

@@theoriginalbleachx6311 He is also obsessed with the history of strength and equipment especially plates and dumbells.

@@theoriginalbleachx6311 Very true. Brian's got a huge competitive bug, so it doesn't surprise me that he went and did this.

I think he may have included Khaled in the 2. All the others they mentioned did it where one side comes up first instead of the entire dumbbell coming up level

😂😂😂 Imagine Lizzo sumo wrestling E. Honda from Street Fighter 6.

@JonDeth, I agree. I also hope Brian keeps the decal------>"JIM$ GYM" on the actual 350lb dumbbell, to keep the historical reference intact:)

@@Mirriam02 I thought that would be cool too, but whatever Brian does with it I am just glad it was saved instead of cut into scrap because most of the scrap in America, is turned into rebar! *Individuality in culture is really being trampled and destroyed in America, and strongman is both about individuality, comradery and respect, so maybe one day Brian will build The Strongman Museum.* There's so much history there and so many names that have accumulated for centuries that it wouldn't be only of interest to athletes. *It's in fact a very significant part of our history as humans, and there's forms of it in virtually every culture on the planet.* Keeping that logo on it would certainly make sense if someone ever builds such a museum. Paul Anderson isn't the only legendary strongman that was deathly ill as a child, and lived onward to make the sport what it is today. If I am remembering correctly, Brian ended up with his plates. *Just a couple years ago, I got to hold the door open for Bill Kasmaier at the hardware store! lol* He tried to get to it first to hold it for me, but I recognized him and beat him to it lol.

It's crazy, but remember that he's like 400ish lbs and can deadlift half a ton. I would fold like an origami swan.

That dumbell weighs *more* than some strongman athletes 🤯

I wonder what he can do to help him get to that point. I wonder if better technique will be even more important. Will be interesting seeing how much it actually weighs. 350 is such a just leap from the Millenium at 230lbs or so. I can imagine seeing Brian possibly lifting the Millenium at..50lbs more, and that's still just 280lbs. Hopefully it weighs less than 350lbs..or I guess there's the chance Brian lifts it and we find out it's actually 380lbs. haha

Considering brian is probably still 370lbs or heavier, he might just need 3-6 months

@@TobyFromGT How do you increase strength to lift that when you're already as big as you can get and can already lift 600lbs up stairs? Is it just grip training? I mean if I'm scrawny and don't work out, I can probably double my strength in that time, but Brian is already at close to peak form. I don't follow grip training etc so I'm just not aware of how much you can increase it. I'm guessing his ability to lift it isn't the question, it's more a question of holding on tight enough to keep it from spinning.

@wheelmanstan yes, grip strength is different than the strength you're thinking of. Grip strength is shown to get better with age and takes a longer time to decline, for example if you know who Mark Felix is, he is in his 50s and still is breaking records because of his grip strength

i dunno...maybe 400 pounds...a 500lb dumbbell with the fat grip...i really don't think that's possible for anyone to lift one handed. 150 pounds is a huuuuge jump up, and brian cant even lift the 350 off the floor, but I'd love to see it! Maybe they call it the "impossible dumbbell" 500 pounds, thick grip...no one on the planet will be able to lift it!

@@mm6705 Brian is still young, ish. We have guys like Nick Best and Devon Larratt getting stronger as they age. If Brian stays as grip focused as he is now, I see the 500lb dumbbell happening. There was a time when we all thought a 1,000lb deadlift was impossible "it'll rip the arms off your body" But just recently 6 men pulled 1,000lbs in a single competition.

@@TheSleepieKing Idk, highly doubt it imo. It's doing a one-arm deadlift without straps and is as thick as a Thomas-inch bell which is 172lbs and less than 300 humans on earth have lifted it. The Millennium Dumbell (238 lbs)? only 10 I've heard(including shaw). 500 lbs is just too much.

@@TheSleepieKing Yeah, true, but I think the 500 dumbbell with the thick grip, is like a 1000 pound axle lift...the world record is under 800 pounds, and I think the axle is narrower than the grip on these mega dumbbells. I agree with your point that human limits are always raising, so maybe the 500 dumbbell will be made and lifted :) But then again, the difference is exponential, so idk haha. I mean, I'd love to see it happening someday.

@@mm6705 idk, Eddie deadlift 1200lbs, thats 600lbs per hand. And brian has much bigger and stronger hands than eddie

Only the narrow handle made even moving it possible for me. Dramatically harder with a thick handle I bet.

I would be interested in purchasing it if you ever end up selling. I'm in KS as well

@@fitness4585 I sold it last year to a collector in Florida.

Leavan is not that strong in grip, he couldn't close the coc 3

@@saxon8981Hand grippers aren’t the best test though because new users like Levan don’t know how to properly “set” the gripper to begin. I’m pretty sure Levan lifted the Inch dumbbell and heavier on his first try

@@sethticer5108 he also did a gm150 hand dynamometer and only got 90kg

@@saxon8981 True, seems crushing grip isn’t his forte. Although there’s many different aspects of grip. Like Mitchell Hooper only scored 84kg, and yet he can pick up a 400kg frame a run with it

@@sethticer5108 the yolk walks have very little to do with grip

He's gonna cry, knowing you don't like him..

ok

Brian or Mark Felix even retired Mark is still a beast with grip

@@ScottishStrength true

Carl Myerscough would be on that list

@t.p.ggaming3884 maybe od hagen if he could 1 hand 350lbs. Not sure if he'd handle that or not

He also deadlifted close to 730 pounds with one hand

Good old humble brag 😁

Eddie and Brian on Joe Rogan would be a trip.

Chalk kept setting it off so I had to take it down. There's another one close by

He absolutely is one of the guys of all time!

It would have to be easily over $500 unless the dude was generous to give it out free or for less

and the millennium is significantly lighter at 220lb (iirc)

Like didn't even think about it, just picked it up with two hands like nothing.

So glad someone else brought that up. He made that thing look light!
