For those of you wondering, he's actually holding a full size Samsung TV in his hand

I thought my dad was the strongest man!?! I've been lied to!?!!

for anyone wondering what phone that is. it's not its actually a i pad 😂

"Just take a rubber band[...], that you can expand in your hand. The other thing I've done is get a bucket of sand." The rhymes are sick 6:04

That bucket of sand started off as a bucket of rocks.

His forearms are bigger then my legs

I honestly think Brian Shaw could crush a man's head with his bare hands if he wanted to. One does not simply lift a 130lbs block with one hand like that.

Brian... You are a BOSS... The most comprehensive breakdown on ANY weight training issue I have seen on KZfaq. Thank you.

Mark's a smart bloke to get you on board. Your a great guy and a lot of fans like to hear your opinions on issues, myself included. Keep well Brian.

I love his sincere intent to share knowledge, and to share the technical details of his sport. Imagine Sebastian Vettel taking time out to coach everyone on the internet about how he drives, or Usain Bolt to help with sprint training and technique, that's what this is like to me. Also, been watching "Nicks Power and Strength", and Luimarco, and I think Shaw, Magnussen etc are real men and the body builders are just kind of weird guys. I would love to see Shaw next to one of these big body builders, I'm sure he was dwarf them

Casually grabs 60kg with one hand. That's how much I fucking bench

Hyped any time I see a Brian Shaw video up!

oh boy, a talking bear :))

It's cool that you guys and Brian had struck up a friendship following his visit to Super Training. Brian seems like a really cool guy, and I really love these collabs

Brian Shaw is like the left tackle you created in Madden franchise mode who cost like $20 million a year and pancaked a guy every play.

Thanks for getting him on!

Great advice Brian, I learned something new here, thanks mate. Keep up the great work big man.

20 inch forearms. Beast.

The introduction scenes are always on point!!

"And weakness is never a strength" that's why he's my Idol. Love this guy. He's one of the few ppl I press thumbs up even without watching the video.

Exactly what I wanted to know. Brian is really great at explaining.

Grip training, here I come!

you guys consistently release the best content

Wow, appreicate the highly actionable information. I always questioned how often to train specifically grip. Thanks a lot.

You seem like such an awesome, humble guy. Keep up the videos!

Thank you Brian!!! The advice to train the extensors too will hopefully save my right bicep tendon. Feels awesome!

Thanks for sharing this awesome content 🙏 Learned a ton from this video. Also, around the 4 minute mark, Brian suggested using cold therapy on the forearms for after we workout. I’ve recently done some research on extreme temperature training and found some interesting data. Many studies have found cold exposure impairs muscle growth and also nervous system activity (which determines strength). So even though ice baths have many benefits, they are not useful immediately post workout...and I used to take post-workout ice baths all the time. I still take ices baths 1-2 times a week, but for different reasons. On the other extreme, much research has suggested that heat therapy (saunas) increase growth hormone, hypertrophy and strength gains. I’ve been sitting in a sauna post-workout these past few weeks and have been feeling great throughout the days. The T flows naturally, especially with strength training and intense full-body training 🤙blessings y’all 🙏

I'm liking the guest hosts format for the power project.

I'm working my grip really hard. I hammer it daily.

I like the way Brian Shaw answers a question precisely 1 question prior to it being asked. Auto upvote for Brian Shaw.

Great advice! Thanks for sharing!

Great video, very informative!

How can you not love this man.

I started doing pull ups and Chin ups from close to wide grip variations on a 2x6. That helped me a lot

He's really a GOOD instructor. He's setting himself up to be a strength coach or something else in the strength industry after his strongman career winds down. Anybody that trains under him will be blessed. Maybe even an Olympic coach or owning his own gym. Ha, nickname him the Professor, he not only knows his shit, but he knows how to convey it to others, very, very well.

I like the "grab the dumbbell in the air" movement!

You got a lot of questions answered.. Thank you.

Looking in top shape in this video Brian 💪🏻

This video is sensational. Favorited at once.

Brian Shaw is such a modest guy ......well done to him ......keep it this way Brian

i have a pretty strong grip from being a cyclist but we only really use our grip in a specific situation so my forearms look a little uneven haha, been trying hard to even it out with various exercises and it looks like these grip exercises will help. i'll give it a shot, thanks!

Thanks for this advise, really appreciate it a lot.

Strongest man and still such a nice dude

I can't comprehend why this channel doesn't have more subs

anyone else think that Shaw should have played Kingpen in the DareDevil series on Netflix?

invaluable information that can be extrapolated to strength training in general, not just grip

Team Supertraining is crushin it.

Great info! I can't get my max dead because my left hand looses its grip and really frustrates me. I just started using straps but now I think I'm gonna use them sparingly so I can build my grip more.

I'm digging that the power project isn't just power lifting but reaching out to other athletes in different strength disciplins. Need a power project by that cross fit guy supertraining does stuff with talking about conditioning/gpp

This was great. NOBODY ever talks about this!!!

That bucket and sand thing is gold!

Extremely usefull info, learned a lot of stuff i wanst aware off

Grip strength is so heavily underrated. I love that finger gripping the DB.

Wow thank you so much!

Great video! Brian shaw the best!

Big Brian...that's one big dude!

the video nobody aksked for but everbody wanted it.

I never use strap's never needed them and I think you're right about that so many people use to give me slack about why don't you use strap's now I know it's the right thing to do always thought this but it's good to hear Brian shaw to say it.

such a nice guy

Great advice!

well said Brian thanks for the advice

Brian is such a smart and wonderful guy.

Hey Brian! Can you tell me what muscles to work, in order to balance out your lower back? Avoid pain etc... Thx

Brian Shaw for president!

Really informative, thank you

Solid advice

Such a solid and awesome fucking video

Also, there are climbing drills that are really good for grip. Hang board for example.

thanks brian

fuck ya, great video. Do this more often

Both heat and ice reduce the pain in the short term. However, heat has been found to be better on long term. If you want to get trough important training session use ice. It reduces the inflammation and helps with the pain. Reducing the inflammation can be bad. Its one of the recovety mechanisms for your body. So actually ice can make the recovery slower. Heat allows for more blood flow and faster recovery. So use heat, if you are looking to heal something in the long term. :D

Good video👍 I’ve seen him on worlds strongest man challenge. Will try out the sand

he should paint himself green and play live action shrek lol

Mr Shaw could be very intimidating but he's so nice. I want to give him a hug.

good tips. thanks

this dude's just fuckin awesome

I'm feeling just a huge amount of respect just looking at his body. I am shamelessly admiring.

i love ur workout brian

Great stuff, moving from a martial arts background, to lifting then to rock climbing and its amazing how much people can over complicate grip and people are so focused on their own discipline. People seem to love to think that they are the first to do something and that they need to do something special but people have been using grip strength forever and although there are variations in the way grip strength is used the training really has the same fundamentals from 100's of years ago. Great video and happy to see the sand bucket mixed in there maintenance seems to be to often neglected in grip training and for such a delicate group of muscles is so important.

I love this guy- super strong, very nice, and really smart. Great dude

Grip Training yeahh

The way he descripted the bucket of sand part was performed opposite on the video?

How do you get your hand at the bottom of the sand? My hand doesn't cut through to the bottom of the sand bucket to work the extensors.

Awesome vid but did he greenscreen in the gym in the background? Theres some strange artifacting going on near the upper right of his head in the orange section

Damn, he's totally right. Brian Shaw is awesome. And what he says about the extensors is REALLY important... I injured myself working too much on my flexors, and a really annoying pain started to appear on my forearm. Specially when I performed bicep curls with a barbell or any extremely supinated movement... I didn't realize it was beacuse my extensors were WEAK AS FUCK. I started to train my extensors with sand, pillows stacked, rubber bands... and boom, the pain completely dissapeared. This man know what he says. Brian Shaw is da man

4x's world's strongest man!! Hopefully 5 coming soon

I like to do a ladder of dumbbell lunges. I’ll work my way from 10kg dumbbells up to 50kg dumbbells in 2kg increments. It’s a lot of volume on the legs, and the grip is challenged to the extreme.

6:01-6:16 could be part of a good rap! You're almost connecting words like Eminem already Brian, keep it up!

as a beginner I started grip training immediately. The best way I found was to hang from a bar every time I went. then it will work itself out in the long run. just don't use straps for as long as possible.

Thoughts on wrists wraps for benching and ohp only?

My forearms have been sore for ages now. I use the Arm Aid device and took time off but they're still sore.

opinions on metal hand grips?

Brian good video 👍🏼

Brian, at some point you should take a run at closing the Captains of Crush #4

You guys think that having strong hands helps also with the bench? In my opinion I think it does have a direct impact as you're able to grip the bar with more force, therefore stabilizing the wrist, forearm, bicep to be all aligned.

Mama, there go that man

oh shit it's dat boy

I enjoy listening to you. Thank you. You are accomplished and competent in your field. One qualification must be made. In the spiritual realm (which you are not addressing), our weakness becomes an opportunity for God to show his strength (2 Cor. 12:9). There, weakness, while not strength in and of itself, becomes strength by God's grant. By the same token, those who are "strong" in their own estimation (I am not referring to the physical realm of endeavor), are weak in God's eyes, because they can never avail themselves of his mighty and superior strength. Of course, I know I am on a different track here. But it's true. And anything of eternal value and true is of inestimable worth. Thanks again for your helpful tips.

the arms!!!

Awesome
