Also worth mentioning, Brian did a 1014 lb stiff bar deadlift without a suit on the 2nd to last event at the 2017 WSM and a relatively easy 1031 lb longbar deadlift without a suit in training.

@jlim9411 7 месяцев назад

What’s crazy is that Brian has said when he did the 300 lb dumbbell at the Arnold that year, it felt easy when he picked it up. He could have done more reps if needed. That’s when his pressing power was at it’s all time best.

@alexfrye6 7 месяцев назад

I guess the thing with prime Brian was that his era was a bit heavier than the current one. A 600+kg yoke was just what they used for a while at the Arnolds. Similarly I think loading races were a bit heavier. With that in mind I think prime Shaw beats rookie Hooper 9 times out of 10 in his own era. In this era it's probably 50-50.

@mitchellhooperstrongman 7 месяцев назад

Well, in this comparison Prime Brian did indeed beat Rookie Hooper 😉

@josephfox869 7 месяцев назад

It just depends on the type of show. If it was as heavy as 2016/2017 I think Brian has it easy but with the modern mix of strength and movement, I think you can compete with ANYONE!

@SliPsHoTiFc 7 месяцев назад

I think Brian has the edge in his prime. The weights were heavier the competition was steeper. I just don't think you can compare yourself right now. You are just a baby in the sport and have years to improve. Get stronger refine your progress. Regardless, your talent and intelligence is clearly paving the way to something we might recognize as the best of all time.

@trevtkd 7 месяцев назад

I agree. I love Moose, but him giving himself the win on yoke because he’s faster on a lighter yoke is absurd. You’re slower when it’s heavier. That means Shaw is stronger than Moose at yoke. It’s all fun and games but that’s the only issue I had with this fun hypothetical. Love Moose no matter what. Epic dude with freakish strength.

@spoonhead1308 7 месяцев назад

The only one I disagree with is the oak, 195 for 3 is not better than 200 for 2. Apart from that it was a pretty good comparison. I really hope in 2024 you continue to improve and we get to see a fully healed Oleksii Novikov and Mateusz Kieliszkowski

@bruuhhhh 7 месяцев назад

I agree with you

@martinshoosterman 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, While i do understand the logic there. 195kg and 200kg is a fairly small difference. And I dont even know for sure how accurately wsm measures their weights. (so long as its the same weight for everhone, it doesnt matter too much if its 193 vs 197kg and they just call it 195. But in a real competition, 1 rep of a heavier weight usually beets any number of reps with a lighter weight. I could see an argument for it being a draw, but disagree with it being a win for mitch.

@smokey_mk2 6 месяцев назад

if you put the numbers into a 1rpm calculator brian has 205.6 1rpm and mitchell has 206.5 1rpm so mitchell is right he did deserve the win

@adking18 5 месяцев назад

@martinshoosterman 195 to 200 kg is a small difference, but when the rep ranges are so small (the weights are so tough that guys are doing 2 or 3 rather than double figures) the difference between 2 reps and 3 is pretty big. If guys are telling you their best ever and one guy has got 195 for 3 and the other 200 for 2, there's no doubt who is making the stronger case. I also don't think I've ever seen a context where they'd do reps at a lower weight and then move onto a higher weight. They either do reps or they go up in weight, so I'm not sure where your argument is coming from that any at a higher weight would be considered the winner. Overall its close, but I think you've got to give the win to 195 for 3 reps.

@tomz6594 7 месяцев назад

Brian had like 4-5 bankers (at the time). Stones, throwing, pulling, dumbbell, fingers. He was also top 3 in deadlift and yoke. Only person that was on his level was Big Z.

@adking18 5 месяцев назад

Brian marked the evolution of the sport in bringing in these 6'8'' 450 lbs types so yeah back then he was dominant in any event that favoured a taller and heavier guy. These days there's a few of them about and he wouldn't dominate things like stones and fingers quite so much anymore. Yokes and pulls are lighter these days so favour the smaller guys a bit as well.

It's Tom 100%. He has now actually committed to more than WSM, so those titles are his to lose now. Mitch has been more like Novikov and trying to win everything, while Tom really doesn't peak for anything properly except WSM. Now he's going to actually go for all the titles, that's scary.

@GoldenGayTime1 7 месяцев назад

I think the only spot you are wrong on is the yoke. Not based on your specific scenario, but if you are asking who is “stronger” then the heavy yoke should be the judge. You would definitely best him in speed with a lighter implement, however he moves his same steady speed regardless of weight. I would have put it at 5-2 Brian. Huge fan of both. Your 2023 run has been absolutely legendary and better than Halfthor 2018 in my opinion. Keep up the great work!

@adking18 5 месяцев назад

I think the question is more who would win in a contest rather than who is stronger. And in contests these days they don't tend to do 600+ kg yokes.

@GoldenGayTime1 5 месяцев назад

They hadnt done fingal fingers in a long time either. Events get changed or brought back all the time, but you are right as far as a lighter weight. Brian cant compete with the lighter faster guys in non-strenght prioritized events. If it is heavy Brian would certainly take the win over Mitch. @@adking18

Main reason for that is all of them are incredibly well rounded to suit the events that commonly come up.

I love your technique, it's effective, logical and locks out the dumbbell overhead. Strength sport fans have lots of double standards when it comes to Strongman. In strongman moving the weight from A to B is the name of the game, hitching is allowed in deadlift, push pressing, split jerks etc is allowed in Log and axle, but suddenly fans are making up rules about how leaning back is not, or should not be allowed. In axle or log, the head should come through as the body in upright alignment is the only way it can be fully locked out anatomically where there is vertical support all the way down the chain. However with a dumbbell it's uneven and standing upright is extremely difficult taxing stablising muscles hugely.

Try the Big Kaz... and don't forget the 5 time WSM either... Additionally, in those "prime " years of Brians. The weights in all the events were heavier. Today's events are lighter weights for more reps and focus is on faster times. Athletes are coming to the events leaner and faster but not lifting as heavy. If you look at how Brian designed the Shaw Classic it throws back to the past and he points it . Weights are heavier slowing the times and lessening the number of reps.

I’d love to see who think is the best strongman ever. Maybe even a top 5.

I like these comparison videos with real numbers.

3 reps at 195 Mitch style or 2 reps locked out? Hmmm

When it comes to who can just move they most weight, Brian has this by a large margin. However you have the advantage on speed and endurance. So it comes down to the lifts really. If they are static and based purely on max weight, I dont see you winning. If the weights are slightly lighter with speed/time being more important then I see you having a strong chance of winning.
