Thanks for having me on Brian! Such a great time up there!

Trey seems like old school strongman. I loved this interview.

Trey takes his anger out on Brian by winning The Shaw Classic. 😆

Trey is such a humble guy. I like how Brian touched on him coming out of his shell over the years. I always wondered if that was just the limited spotlight Trey was given or if that was an accurate representation. I also forgot how young he is... He's got a WSM title in his future, and likely an ASMC title if he keeps progressing. I dont think we've even seen a glimpse of what his max potential looks like yet. And that's TERRIFYING to think about as an Open competitor myself. LOL

Trey may be a soft-spoken southern gent but the dude is a unit.

Such a nice bloke, the gentleman of strongman, love the guy. Thanks for doing this interview Brian, I think it's the first real interview we've had with Trey, including his back story.

Trey Mitchell is the epitome of "Country Strong."

I think that's the most I've ever heard trey talk lol. I love trey he's a awesome person

Really hoping trey gets a spot on the podium this year at WSM and the Shaw Classic!!

Trey has the honor of being the first person to sit at the new table

Man, I hope his grip comes around. He would have no weaknesses and would no doubt have a great career. Not usually a podcast guy, but this one was great.

Hearing their philosophy for success is very motivational. Trey's humbleness makes him very likeable.

Brian’s gettin really good at this. He knows how to naturally keep the conversation going with guys who may not have a lot of experience speaking on podcasts and keeps it interesting. Good luck to you both this year! Also, good on you Trey for chasing what you wanted. I’m older now, but looking back my parents instilled limiting beliefs in me too as a child with stuff they didn’t understand. Is what it is, but everyone definitely chase your dreams. You only need to prove it to yourself

Brian please make an interview with Mateusz Kieliszkowski💪He also shares this old-school attitude and his english got a lot better👍

Trey's awesome, dude's definitely become one of big threats to anyone trying to make the podium of any given contest! Also the new table looks dope, hope you gave the plastic lawn table a proper send off

Such a gentleman. Great interview by Brian, opening Trey up in a different light. Cannot wait for more episodes.

Currently my 2 favorite strongmen, no doubt.

I fully expect Trey to make the final at WSM and would not be surprised at all if he made any position on the podium. He's the goods...

Just a humble hard working man reaping the results of his work.

Brian has got to pass the Torch to the next Great American Strongman. USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

TREY IS AWESOME AND BRIAN IS A GREAT MENTOR

You actually got Trey to talk. 💪🏻. Great guy!!

Awesome one here. Trey has been my favorite since the second Arnold classic when he told us the story about his high school coaches. After Brian retires, he will be my top guy I'm rooting for.

I’m not a huge strongman fan. If it wasn’t for Brian I might not have ever gotten into it at all. Super excited for Trey. He seems like he can take Brian’s spot as a guy I get excited to watch compete.

huge fan of trey, cool to see him in some long-form content. he’s a quiet guy, just likes to lay back and put the work in.

I love this guy

That table looks like it weighs over 1,000 lbs 😳

Knowing you are retiring, it’s very good to know there are a couple Americans who can compete with the best at WSM and probably win with Trey and Evan. Bobby to. You got one more left Brian, but time to pass the torch after.

I enjoy Trey’s “Road to Arnold”. Wish they were longer

It's great to see what the athletes are like away from comp and interviews they do, this more laid back personnel approach makes you appreciate the person more

Thank you for opening up Trey. He seems like a real Shy Guy I really appreciate this interview.

Two of the sweetest guys ever ❤

Trey such a humble down to earth dude one of the best strongman no question

If trey can really work on his grip strength he is going to be arguably unstoppable.

Brian Shaw has always been a favorite for me in Strongman. I use to watch WSM with Magnus and then Phil Phister and Derek Poundstone and Žydrūnas Savickas. Trey has a good old school approach with not having grown up with much of a approach other then just lifting without a lot of professional training or knowledge. That shows natural strength as well. Great to get to know his background having not knowing much about him until this You Tube video and Brian’s podcast. Thanks this was a fun episode. Hope Brian wins and Trey does top 3. Also Luke and present strongman Tom Stoltman. Love for Luke to get top 3 he’s getting more towards Shaw’s age.

I know for a fact that Trey will be the next Brian Shaw. He's got that drive and insane static strength

I forget about how rural some areas are. Treys story about weights is like he grew up 80 years ago

Great pod cast. Trey is such a good humble guy!

Trey, you remind me a lot of Big Z. Quiet and confident and let your actions speak louder than words can ever do. Will see you at the WSM next week! Am driving 18 hours to get there!

This podcast room looks amazing.

Big T. He has the Big Z aura. Floats around like Z. Power belly like Z, static beats like Z

Love Trey! I loved seeing him with Will T!

Nice to see some more of Trey

Thanks Brian and Trey. 💪✌️

I know it's not gonna happen, but I'd love to see every training session with Trey and Brian. When Trey finds out he's pretty awesome, it's gonna be cool.

Great interview, wish it had been longer 👌🏼

Great stuff. Keep up the great work Trey!!!

Cool to see the new table in action already!

First podcast with the new table💯👌

Love these interviews. Definitely think Trey is a future wsm

Favorite interview

Loved hearing Trey's story...very imoressive and motivating stay strong 💪

Damn that's a beautiful table. Love trey! Big inspiration

Another great interview Brian!!! Trey seems like just an awesome friend to have. Great guy!!

God bless Brian and Trey 🇺🇸

i have 0 doubt trey will make the final -- and with a the final events - realisticly i see him in 4th overall -- but with this years line up that will be an insane finish for trey -- leaving him ready to defend his shaw classic title

Trey needs to push KZfaq. Grow your following while you're placing high. Earlier the better.

I like trey

Hope you both have a great WSM

The limo ridin, jet flyin, stylin and profilin, Rolex wearin Mr Brian and that fancy new table woooooo 💪🏆🤘 lol.

Nice

Also damn sick table!

I Love You Guys 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

Shout out to Trey. That SE Texas sleeper! 💪

Yo Brian! Have to ask link to you guys office chair lol big guy need some extra support. Keep up the great work

I'm ready for Evan TRex Singleton to be on the pod

Brian I hope you take a 5th title, I know Big Z was great, but I feel you're nearly as good as deadlifter, and yes Z was unrivaled overhead ... But you have always been in the mix for second, and Big Z was only decent in the moving events, and throwing, frankly the only one possibly able to compete with you is obie and Thor but I don't think either of them would claim to be a better thrower than you. Between your variety of objects, weights, and heights I think are basically unmatched. Basically I think you have the most area under the curve so to speak in being a week rounded capable strongman. If you have a bad event it's usually due to an injury that either didn't heal right, or recently occured, or you just knew how well you needed to place, and did just enough to manage it.

If Brian can mentor Trey. And help aid Trey with resources to fix the nerve damage from his accident Trey will be WSM. this interview shows clearly it’s time to put the coach hat. Call me a whatever but Trey has strong similarities and traits of prime Big Z and Brain

Table looks nice.

Table looks good

Huge respect to those chairs. I couldn't support a 400+ pound man for 45 seconds let alone minutes

WHATSUP BRIAN!

I am digging the table, is that Ikea ?.

I love this guy. I'm a brit but id sooner him win than any of the brits.

The moment you knock a round bale off the trailer in the wrong spot... And your grandpa isn't going to be happy about driving the tractor 2 miles to move it, you find out just how strong you are.

What sort of training style is recommended for training grip? Is it better to do heavier weights with 20-30 second holds. Or 10-15 second holds? Or 60+ second holds. Not sure which has the best carry over

It's just a matter of when with Trey, not if.

Big upgrade from the plastic table haha

Trey needs to see Beau Hightower..he will fix him up

So Brian has all those gyms, what's he doing after retirement? Caching and arm wrestling?

I hate the stone off in qualifiers. It's so grueling and depending on group composition, if you aren't first, there could be very little motivation to try in the qualifiers, you just do enough to beat the two worst competitors reliably, and then save everything for the stone off ... And personally I don't think the stone off is a fun or interesting thing to watch. At least put on a spectacle for the crowd with fingle finger off, like an 800 lb finger til the other can't match you. Or you could do a rising bar deadlift on 3 attempts, with an exception for unlimited attempts, if it would be a world record.

Does trey have good mobility? Feel like that is his weekness like Brian.

Trey looks exactly like Eddie and Oberst had a child. He has Eddie's face and Oberst's beard

Look at that table so nice probably more expensive than my car

I like how everyone calls him Trey Mitchell the 3rd lol Do they not realize "Trey" is the nickname for the "3rd" part? It's like saying "ATM machine". It's just redundant.

I don't have a James lol. When you win WSM you can get a James Trey.

Can conquer about coaches from Trey’s home town.. a few a them were pretty damn shitty 😂 but that’s Texas high school football for ya.

they used to have fingals fingers alot

Where is the badass plastic table!

Shaw Classic is a Brutal show, I know the Arnold advertises being the heaviest show on earth ... But they had to abandon that and go with more dynamic events, as their are so many fewer 400+ lbs behemoths vs back in the day with obie, terry, you Thor big Z, Eddie, and some high 300's, like Travis ortmyer, phister, Mike Burke, and a guy not z from Lithuania who for a few years showed up and was right around 400+/- 20 ish lbs. The sport is going smaller these days and personally I hate it as a spectator, as a fan who also cares about the athletes and their ability to live life after strong man and not die excessively early, I do like the move towards more movement events. But I do think it's worse to watch most the time, I like watching worlds strongest man, not world's fastest mover of a fridge. So I do like for the sport to lean towards putting on a show, like throwing, fingle fingers, whippy deadlifts maybe from more like a 12 inch pull rather than a puesdo rack pull, I think Brian has some like 70lb 24-30" plates from rogue, personally I think using those rubberized 70's on an elephant bar would be an amazing show for the crowd. Since they look like normal sized weights from a long distance, but then you put a normal plate next to them and you're like holy crap. That would be a way to standardize a big deadlift for people to train that is still something to put on a show, rather than practice on a powerlifting bar with powerlifting plates, and then showing up pulling 4 inches higher and on a whippier bar, without gyms needing the cartoon sized tanks on the ends of the bars, and they could likely find a leg press to that fits 70's and that would be a natural place for normal people to regularly use them. Since I think a lot of gym goers would regularly want to warm up with 1,2,3, and 4 of those a side then make smaller jumps from there. 140, 280, 420, 560+ the sled, and I think it would be more reasonable to accommodate people like you, who thinks 600 on a leg press is probably the amount of weight the sled alone should be.

Conan's wheel personally I don't know why I don't like it, but what I think would be cool is if you guys did more inch dumbbell snatches. I think strapless inch dumb snatches for reps would be a very good final event of a contest, preferably requiring the use of one dumbbell per hand and simultaneous lifting.

Z 2.0

Just go be a pro strongman, then tell your bullies to go check to see if their car is where they left it.

Take a drink for every “ya know”

Some people just aren’t made for podcasts

you know

Nice knee high sox with shorts lol

I hate when someone talks and like every other word is like

Trey no Grip Mitchel
