AGE IS NO LIMITATION FT. NICK BEST | SHAW STRENGTH PODCAST EP.4 

Would love a podcast episode with you, Nick, Eddie and Robert where you talk about all the behind the scenes stuff from the History channel show. Maybe even a watch a long? 😎

Loving this podcast. I think they should bring Nick in as a honorary guest at the Shaw classic.

1:15:41 "why are you going to save for retirement if you're not gonna invest in your body?" That's a great line.

Nick Best is the strongest for not only physical strength, but his ability to possess so much power and still allow that difficult emotion out through his eyes and his voice

Thank you. Thank you so much for this. At the age of 46 I recently told a coworker “I need to lose some weight.” He replies “we have a gym at our other site 3 miles from here. Let’s start going together after work.” Two months in, and down 15 pounds, I’m starting to search for a local strength training coach so I can enter my first weight lifting competition as a novice. Every day I push myself to get better, to “be the best me I can”; to make today count. Age is just a number. Thank you for that.

It's criminal that history show was cancelled. Please bring it back.

Love that Nick wears his heart on his sleeve and is not afraid to show his emotions. Absolute legend!

Nick is an inspiration… I’m 47 and getting stronger

I'm about to turn 39 yrs old. Doing my first strongman event in August. You guys are great motivation. Thanks for all you do.

Great episode. Nick is a very emotional, rooted man. Seems like a good friend

Great interview I really liked how you had him take us back to the beginning of Nicks lifting. It’s so great to hear this about the beginning of their journey

Nick Best is even better now that I know he’s a Cossack!!!!

This is super inspiring. I'm 43 and still trying to make gains. Started letting again at 40 right before the start of covaids. I'm 5'8"ish around 230. A lot of weight I could probably lose. I always wished I could bench 300. A couple weeks ago I put up 345. My squat is now over 400 and my deadlift sucks. Thanks to all you guys giving old guys hope!!!

I'd be really sad if we didn't get to see Strongest Man in History be brought back, I seriously enjoyed that season so much. Binged it 3x in the pandemic. I'd watch season after season of it.

Invite Jf Caron next pls . I would love to see you train together and podcast

Lifting changed my life!! I was a chubby kid..hit the gym and became a semi professional powerlifter!! I got bit by the iron bug!!

Totally feel this episode. Finally started training after a twenty year absence at 42. Loving it

Phil Pfister and Mark Henry would make great interviews as well

Great to see so much of Nick Best lately. He deserves it

Nick Best and the Best. here we go.

Finally a guest and a good one at that

Nick’s got such a heart of gold. Love listening to him any chance I get

I love these guys...eversince I was little I use to go to Sacramento, down by commerce and actually enjoy watching strongman...man I heard that gods the best.

The intensity of emotions emanating from Nick........what a beautiful friend is he.

Nick has won every contest we’ve never seen.

This is the best podcast I've heard. I'm currently 43 and started to take powerlifting more serious at 42 and swapped to strongman 11 weeks ago. I feel lost worry that I'm "crazy" but its something that brings joy to me and is almost therapeutic. Thank you for sharing these thoughts Brian and Nick.

Love to see more from nick! I’m definitely a huge fan of the both of you. Nick just seams like the yoda of strongman lol.

I'm very impressed with Brian's interviewing skills. What a great podcast!

Nick is a real junkyard dog, he may not be the baddest dude but this guy is an absolute unit that is consistently badass. Shows up as an alternate on short notice and still does great. Pure class, this guy is part of what makes strongman today so great

As a 58 year old man, Nick is an incredible inspiration. Long live the Best

This what a great Shawcast and I will definitely watch any time Nick comes back.

Heck I played 5th grade football and weigh 205 and was 5'10" tall they made me wear high school equipment and i had to loss 10 lbs to continue playing in Mississippi, I'm 6'1 and 400 lbs today. Back in the early 80's we rode bikes everywhere everyday. And way 230 all through High School and up untill I was 26 years old when I started gaining a lot of weight.

I turn 39 this year, I didn’t start training until I was 37. If you don’t think Nick Best is an inspiration to people…you are crazy!!!! It’s just a number.

Nick is such a sincere person, he cares deeply about people and his tearing up is a sign of that. You can see he’s made some great bonds in his life.

When the trainer is also a father figure, that's strong magic.

Food for thought. Maybe strongman competitions should now have age divisions and overall competitions. This way more people can compete and enjoy the sport more. I want to see a 70 year old Nick Best doing this!

Did not know you created a podcast, AMAZING!

Wise words from nick, he’s great

GOOD STUFF . Seeing Bud Jeffries at MaxiFlex Contest in 2003 I got to flip the 650 Tyre and see things I havent anywhere else in person . Strongman is Awesome

I would like to see a podcast with my favorite Strongman, 2x WSM, Jouko Ahola from 🇫🇮.

Great pod. Please add chapters for future episodes. Thanks.

I saw Nick a few times and talked to him at the gym about...wow, 15, 16 years ago. Nice guy!

Loving all the podcasts. Nick seems like a great humble man. Really enjoy hearing more about him. Thanks for the great podcasts Brian. You’re doing excellent with all the shows and interviewing. Best of luck in 2023.

Need the missing footage! And more Nick Best podcasts!

I have to say that this podcast and message inspires me, a 27 year old, to get back to the gym and reach new levels. After not lifting throughout my bachelors degree and getting back injury due to a lack of core strength, it just goes to show that lifting needs to be a staple in my life. Thank you guys for the motivation!

Nick has inspired me for sure. This man is so humble and real. Same with Brian, learning from these guys has done so much for me. Not just lifting. But life I'm general.

Absolutely brilliant and as if we the viewers were just listening to two friends shooting the breeze. I have always watched WSM on the TV in Scotland over Christmas, weird I know but it's always been broadcast then, and loved watching it. Last year the Giants Live tour came to Glasgow and I got to see it up close and it was just amazing, got my tickets for this year already booked. I am very partially sighted due to treatment for eye cancer and bi lateral glaucoma but hopefully going to get back to the gym, using resistance bands at home just now. Oh and eh I am a photographer so I took a lot of photos at the Glasgow show and Colin Bryce said I even made him look thin😂😂😂

Met Nick at OSG very cool dude, very humble and respectful

Hey Brian.Your Podcast Are The Best.👍👍💪

Would love too see Nick, Eddie, Robert in your podcast together. Just all about how you got started. And your similarities and differences getting started. And the Stoltmans need too be on too

That Tv show you guys did was pretty cool. I saw Robert O at the gym i train at last year that guy is larger than life 🤯🤯

To think I’m stronger than Nick best was as a senior in high school.... so cool to hear all of this

Something I respect Abt Nick so much is he is not afraid to be emotional when something touches him. And that's a valuable thing to see such a big strong guy being unembarrassed Abt getting choked up talking about a dear close friend of his

Alright! Nick Best on the show, this is going to be great!

Strongest man in history was an amazing show wish Netflix or Hulu would pick it up for more seasons!

Love the sword precariously perched over Nicks head

Didn’t know I needed Brian doing a podcast but I do

Not trying to be cliche, but hearing stories like this is truly inspiring to people like me who can’t seem to find a place in the world, other than a unique enjoyment of training.

You gotta have Nick as a part of the Shaw Classic, surely you could find a role for him somewhere?!

God I hope someone filmed that bagpipe scene! PLEASE RELEASE IT, HISTORY!

I didn't know until this interview that Nick was an SSU Cossack! I turned 18 in 1990, and that 24 hour gym in Cotati was state of the art for the area back then.

Cnt wait til u get eddie on dis podcast not only him but other strongmen as well itl be so freakin epic!!!! 👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼🤘🏼✌🏼

omg thank you for adressing how we protect kids now days.. How do you learn not to fall down from a tree ? by climbing up there and falling down. Now days we protect them to up over their ears..

Nick is a great guy!

I met nick and Robert at results gym Aberdeen and all four of them at the Dinnie stones. Nick might look like the little one but he's still a massive bloke. Very nice too

This mindset is the best.

Mr. Best is an inspiration! Legendary.

Nick, Brian and Jujimufu found the fountain of youth! Having fun talking about lifting heavy things 🤘🏽

I'm older than Nick, nowhere near his level and he certainly inspires me. And now I've got an even softer spot for the guy after this interview.

I love how emotional of a person Nick is and how he gets emotional over how much he appreciates and recognises what someone’s done for him.

AWESOME! Glad you had Nick on!!! Now can you guys do another Buffett video! Love those! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Some how some way a second season or Strongest Man In History needs to be made. Get funding going. The audience is here.

Petition for the bag pipes and mead clips to be released

nicks always radiating good vibes! love the podcast. #beststrong

Am I the only one that checked my phone when Nick's phone went off?😂

When you made a video with him I said in the comments “I really hope you do a podcast with Nick“ he has been around for so long. Would love to hear him tell some stories.

bring nick back for sure

Cool that Nick met Kevin Nee that was forever ago

These guys are awesome. They both seem extremely humble and overall good dudes, oh and strong AF lol.

Can't wit for Brian to get into his new place because there's gonna be some brilliant podcasts coming out of there .....💪🏻

Flipped this on to see what was up and stayed for waaaaay longer than i thought i would haha. Very well done! Interesting guy, good questions. Well done!

You still have to understand and be realistic with your limits as you move through phases of life.

Ad that I am just now seeing this. You and nick best are such solid dudes

Nick is a stand up guy and strongman. Glad to be able to listen to his struggles and strengths💪

Same happened for me in 2013/14 my first NAS comp never did a truck pull damn freighter at that and it was the first event and blew me up so bad. Loved the memories though

Nick is a legend

We need to teach our kids to do dangerous things safely.

Before summer 2021 I was struggling with what I actually wanted with my training. Part of me wanted to do some bodybuilding, but some wanted more strength-based training. I talked to myself about this, and went for strength. It's always been more "me". But it was Nick Best who actually made me think about strongman competitions. Now, at the age of 39, weighing at around 94 kg and standing at 160 cm tall (something like 5'4", maybe?) *and* having asthma that needs medical attention, I'm working my ass off to get into shape to compete in Finnish u100 kg strongman competition. I know that it'll take me a couple more years to get into the strength-range needed to actually make an appearance, but I will be on the highest podium at some point. Nick is my idol and inspiration. Age is just a number. It's all about attitude and will.

Big fan of both here. Small pro tip to Brian: always allow your counterpart to finish their story before jumping in with yours (which by the way, is just as interesting!). Love and respect form Canada 🍺👍

Would love to meet these 2 guys one day !!

Two of the nicest people in the strength community 👍

I barely knew anything about Nick Best's career. Now I know. Great man

Both of you guys are a real inspiration to me and just plain awesome...respect for what you've both been through & done to get where you are!!!

Absolutely loved this! I could go for a mini-series of Nick Best! Aka Thanos!

Love it

Nick Best, Please come to Lodi California for any reason! We are close enough to Mark Bell and the ST gym in West Sac

Bro this podcast was so wholesome 😭

I really appreciate you guys telling us about your personal mental battles, it give us regular guys a break.

This is the best podcast episode 🙂

Nick and Brian talking about quality of life makes me reconsider my level of activity…. I turned 60 Nov7, 2022. I have kind of settled for being old, I feel it but maybe I shouldn’t give in to it.
