all humble dudes

Not answering questions and staring 😂

@videoschmo I agree. They all seem completely relaxed and laid back, comfortable

You're used to music and cut aways and edits to feed your need for entertainment, this is raw footage which is why YOU probably feel awkward

it is hard to get your thumb in place for it. especially with the broom handles on brains hands.

@@ytbaccount87 I've never tried it, but it certainly seems awkward, or less natural, to get your thumb into place as recommended. Even if he doesn't adopt the recommended technique 100%, as he continues to train it and his version of the technique gets better, he still seems favored to crush that record. But again...how many people have thumbs that big? It may just be the right technique for all but a select few.

Who's brain?

the idea behind it is that (with the recommended technique, not the one Brian's using) you get more surface of contact. Therefore the more surface you can cover with your thumb and fingers, the more adherence you get.

He will absolutly break it if he twist his thumb, for most people it gives 15% or so

@@thedrusus Good point haha.

Pretty sure Juji and Tom said they're doing a video together in November. but i could be wrong

then in a year eric bugenhagen will come back and break em.

@@valofalconery Yeah but I thought they were going to Brian's gym.

Its a maybe, they said it wasn't a for sure thing. Im sure with Brians schedule its hard to collab.

November nigga

I guess it would be fun to watch Brian shame and destroy JewJew. Brian’s a cool enough dude to waste some time with them, but Tom is gonna suffer, because he won’t be allowed to smoke cigarettes at Brian’s house!

Why are you hating on Juji so much. Brian is a nice guy and I doubt he wants to destroy anybody

Why call him JewJew? He isnt jewish as far as I know

Brian is a great guy. He wouldn't shame and destroy anyone he hangs out with, wtf haha.

would probably crush their head instead.

If they had an egg sized bald chalked head yeah

Brian "The Baker" Shaw

Now I wanna see him dressed up as a chef.

thats a great idea

@@dumbbellwarrior5102 that would be a great Halloween idea. He could have some ridiculously heavy tools like a 30 pound rolling pin or something.

Looks like someone's been snorting lines off of his head

Marin Štambuk nobody cares

@@dmaxm2498 I do

I do

Corn

Carrot

Travis Weigand As one of those grip guys, i can concur. Unfortunately, there is a lot of hating on Brian amongst the grip community. Don’t really understand why, either. I would love for Brian to show up to a grip comp.

@@TommyJr817 there's a lot of hating on Brian in a lot of lifting disciplines. People don't like how effortlessly he makes things look. People who've trained specific things for years and years get destroyed by him when he seemingly just gives it a go. Like when he did the rowing machine at Supertraining. Loads of backlash from rowers that they'd "destroy him in a real boat". It's jealousy and fragility. Brian is literally one in a billion. He has the genetic and mental disposition for greatness. And that wounds the pride of those who don't.

he's also the nicest guy on the planet. I doubt anyone of those guys could possibly hate on him face to face because he would just be so nice to them

@@TommyJr817 Why are they hating? I think iron mind pinch block gripping is harder than this though. Shaw is very cool. He may need to go down in weight soon tho. The size isn't healthy to maintain forever for his strongman competitions. Didn't brian win world strongest man 5 times?? Wow!! Did he ever get to the 100lb mark. I know I can pinch grip 50lb dbs and bring them way up very high. Im getting the IM pinch block to see what I can lift currently. Very.impressive when you can pinch grip 60-80 plus lbs all!

That's the last thing Brian needs.

He said he will do a collab witg juji next month

Meseiro did you even watch? The rules do not allow that

Yes, I did. What about you, did you listen what he said? According to what he said he's just not sure about the rules, but according to the official rules, wraping the thumb around the hub is allowed, Brian just said that he would rather not so since he doesn't believe in that method.

He's just so strong that it doesn't even matter

He's an outlier

good point.

That would get him the 90#, but as you get close to a number like that on something like this going up just a little bit gets harder and harder. I suspect that rotating his thumb behind it getting him more surface area on the steel and getting those great big paws of his closer to it would make a big difference, but even a couple of pounds is a great big difference at that weight.

@@mpikas right on mark same guy who is much smaller has the hub grip record for years. It's a whole different lvl of strength to lift 90-100 lbs on the hub Tendon, forearms, core and fingers. Harri T is the man. Has the iron mind pinch blockbuster block record 113lbs and the hub record too 98 lbs. No wsm has beat it yet lol

No, he doesn't.

@@ClockCutter I know that he doesn't need to but it would be a good idea. Two good content creators with similar interests and it would be good exposure for then both to expand their fan base.

@@user-fn6by5ee7p I don't want to see those two goofballs anywhere near Shaw. The man's a champion, and requires some basic level of respect.

@@ClockCutter what are you his manager or something? Juji made a collaboration with Larry Wheels and that went great for them both.

@@user-fn6by5ee7p Heh. No, I'm not his manager. Nice reply. Brian will do what Brian wants to do, without checking in with me.

Jeff dabe with his enormous hands would be good also I think

They're actually not all that short, they are just so thick they look short. He has about 8 and a quarter inch length hands but they're about that wide too

@this person's dad True, but they are shorter than Brian's and probably equally strong, which is an advantage, because theoretically if you have long fingers leverage plays against you in this exercise

Seba Caine why would he get with an amateur like JewJew for help and advice when he clearly wouldn’t learn anything from that at all?! Gayyyyyy

Lol his hub is bare and chalkless... he could learn how to fix that. Even if it only gets half a pound out of it it would help.

Dude u must be weak.

*shrug* yeah, prolly.

jujimufu knows more about weird gripping implements then Brian, that's for sure. He basically got Brian into this with his videos.

And eddie is the sentry

Aditya Vikram That’s a fair statement. I won’t disrespect Eddie, because that Strong Man is the real deal.

@@jesteravrgjoe2888 actually eddie is the strongest in dls, squats and log presses

Aditya Vikram Strong man champions have to be good at all the events. I love Eddie, he runs out of gas early.

@@jesteravrgjoe2888 i know that's why brian was 4 times wsm I am just saying he is the best at dls, squats and log presses. All the world records for these three exercises were made by eddie.

That, and they have schlongs between their legs.

"Hopefully" they said. So I expect they have already talked with Brian and are just working on getting a date they can both record a video. November is what I hear and its looking fairly likely is on which would be cool. Because of the popular demand from viewers of both channels I would imagine it will happen eventually.

Felix has crazy grip.... I would bet Bennie has top notch grip also. I would imagine the top grippers are people who specialise in it and we probably have never heard of them. Safe to say any top strong man is going to have world class grip strength.
