The guys who sell these antique weights are so chill. You can tell they know their stuff and history.
my dad is the one who sold the weights to mr shaw!! tysm :)
😂
@@evita.2900really? Nice
@@evita.2900he definitely seemed the type that he would absolutely deny someone buying those weights if he didn't deem them worthy to honor the plates. Your dad seems like a super cool dude
I love all of my White brothers and sisters.
May God bless us all.
Okay can we talk about how that guy described himself and you as '"Stewards of the Black Iron," what a badass title.
It's a distinguished honor:)
The black iron will outlast us all if we maintain it properly.
You really have to be an enthusiast to look for these rare finds. A very small handful of people actively search for these, or have some collecting dust in their basement without even knowing about their history
That gentleman really seemed passionate about these plates ,when talking with Brian. Real student of lifting history.
that’s my dad who he sold too!!
Black iron is tangible history.
I love all of my White brothers and sisters.
Brian's going to have to open a strength training museum
Dudeee frr 😂
@@joshuawatson6113 "frr"? you are 12?
Actual good idea and a potential source of revenue for the big man, I heard he eats a bit.
@@Trolhammarennfr? you are 12?🤓
@@Trolhammarenn oh wow here we go a keyboard warrior… are you that bored you have to comment on how I type things ? Get a life bro
Brian Shaw helped me stay sober! Day 79 of sobriety! I followed what he said before about winning today and keeping momentum and making tomorrow better today! Also he obviously helped keep me in a lifting mindset! Can't thankyou enough!
Keep it up! You got this!
It's no one else but you, man. They helped, but you're the pushing yourself for results. Be confident, and stay relentless!
yeah man more ppl need to look up to strongmen and the knowledge they've proven works@@RelaxingGhost
thanks man! yeah relearning how to be myself again and get after it is on me! you're right! @@ladsbois7302
Wow. Day 79 is no joke. Congrats and keep it up! 👍💪
Brian is slowly becoming the crazy cat lady of weight lifting equipment 😂
Honestly, one of the few people that should lol He's got a real sense of passion and desire for it! I hope he makes a nice museum one day
Lol, it's all about the stewardship and history.
@@Xphinity Agreed. If I was selling something like that with historical value, I couldn't think of a better keeper than Brian.
I have a pair of 50lb York dumbbells that look old old old. They were bought from the Seattle Seahawks training facility, they bought them in 1976.
A real student of the sport. Cool to see a guy who has been at the top for so long still get excited. True ambassador of strength and fitness.
I always get chills when I hear Brian talk about these old plates and implements and you hear the genuine caring and reverence in his voice. It's humbling and a testament to what it means to be a brother in iron.
Stewards of the black iron, so sick. I love hearing the history of old plates and dumbbells, just like Brian said, to think of the people that have trained with them over the years and the history kept in the weights.
Brian, I am so glad you are collecting this stuff. I used to work out in places that had York and Weider plates back in the late 80s and early 90s. Glad you are maintaining and honoring the history of strength. You are a great man.
A lot of guys will say "weight is weight." It's not. Black iron is history too, tangible history.
Love Brian's passion. He treats the weights like an ancient warrior going back to his training grounds of when he was a youth... with honor and respect, because they helped mould him into the great man he has become.
I live in York, PA and growing up I never knew how famous this place was for weightlifting and training and all. Now being a strongman myself, I'm finding more and more miraculous things about the history
Same here and im from york pa also. Dover specifically
Same here
born and raised - you should go check out the musuem with the big guy lifting over it
Pfalzgraf as well.
York , PA = Muscletown USA!
How AMAZING is this!? Not only is this a great find, but Brian is learning more about the history of these plates and steel. How freaking cool!
Some great material for sure
Dibs on “Stewards of the Black Iron” for a band or gym!
Also loved the point Brian made about all the people that improved themselves by touching these weights!
Can we appreciate the suspension of the truck. Carrying all those plates and Brian
I love these videos when you accrue all this history. Are you working on a museum type walk through for fans to check it all out? I think that would be a cool addition to the shaw classic!
My hometown high school, where I now help coach the lifting program, is full of the old York stuff. It’s a school that unfortunately doesn’t want to spend money on the lifting program, so the plates and bars the kids use now, have been there for decades.
these gym find videos have become some of my favorite episodes, retired brian is just as awesome as competing brian!
I have never thought about the history of the equipment before. Thinking about how many others have improved themselves with the same plates I have used is very eye opening on how others see collections
The black iron should be used, not just collected, but collectors preserve the black iron and that's a good thing.
It's great to see his love of history and all the people who came before him. I'm 59 and my 2 sons lift with weights that were their great-grandfather's that he passed onto me, and now them, some original York and a mix of others. 4th generation lifting with the same plates, pretty special. I recall making a "pilgrimage" to York Barbell when I was about 12 years old with my grandfather (we life in PA).
Yorks are 🔥. I have a full set of JACKSON deep dish plates which I absolutely love, had em for years
That guy really valued those plates and putting them in Brian's hands was about the best thing he could have done to preserve them. 1
Love the enthusiasm Brian has for strength history
We used these back in the 1990's with the spin collars at a gym called Energy Fitness in Burlington ON. Cool find.
dude seeing him smile when he lifted those plates in the cellar...genuine happyness glad i could enjoy it with you via video haha id never be able too do it but too see you so happy doing thats truely somthing special keep being good dude brian
Man I love seeing the history of this sport. Great video
I love these videos about historical equipment. It's something so few people know about, relics of weightlifting culture
Just when we think Brian has the best gym equipment, he says "Hold my plates" and uploads a video of him getting better gym equipment.
Loved the video! You should do a road trip round the country meet the other guys he said about
So nice to see these are getting into the hands of someone like you who has so much respect for the sport and the history of it.
Hope you can get more to the collection.
The guy with the cane is a really cool fella.
Love these road trip/gym equipment videos.
I love vintage weights and the old Nautilus machines, you will have the coolest gym
The smile on your face says it all.
You just know Brian chalks up before putting up the Christmas tree 🎄
Brian could open up a strongman training center with a normal gym and have a museum attached to it.
Merry Christmas Brain.💪🏻🎄
On of the first gyms I worked out in in 1979 (base gym at CFB St Hubert, Quebec)had the York deep dish plates and the ship wheel collars, although they did have a piece broken off on each of the collars. they also had long leather covered incline benches that you stood up in, they had pedals where your feet went to keep you from sliding down. And they also had metal dumbells up to 50 pounds a piece that were round balls at each end. The equipment would have all been purchased after WW2 in the 40s and 50s.
I know of Jedd Johnson who did a double pinch lift of two sets of these Yorks and im pretty sure Brian can do it also.
Loving the Shaw RUclips lately! Dinger after Dinger!!!
York Barbell has a plant in Oakville Ontario Canada. Those plates were in a lot of the gyms up here. Gold's in Mississauga Ontario had all those plates. I have a single 35lb plate here at home and use to have a whole bunch, 4x45's, 2x35's, 2x25's, 2x10's. 2x5's. 2x2.5's. Gave them to my old training partner a few years ago. maybe i should go source some out after seeing this.
Thank you for the video Brian
I have a pair of dumbells that Bertil Fox did curls with back in the day, they mean nothing to everybody but to me they are full of memories.....
You can tell you take this really serious that's why you were so great. I bet you 99 out of 100 strong man don't even know about this and the history that goes along with it.
Man, my first ever weight lifting experience was my high school weight room that had York Deep dish plates that they bought from the original dealer in the 80’s
Brian, for a guy of your age and having the old school strongman interest that you have, that really is a great find.
I have some of the old York equipment from back in the day and like you, it has great sentimental value considering I was using York equipment as early as the mid to late 70's.
York equipment was pretty much all we used back then, other than a Universal Machine.
You understand the historic value and it is cool to see.
How brian talks and obsesses over plates is just like a Car guy talking about their golden finds... the passion and love for the history of it is inspiring... if everyone had a passion like that in their life the would be a little cooler!
Love seeing your grip lifts!!
Your excitement is contagious, sir!! Love the content. As a collector of random things I love this!
Good find! Thanks for sharing with us!
Great find. Thank you for sharing.
Great content about preserving the rich history of the iron game. I always love when you find more treasures for your gym, which now is becoming museum quality.
Brian you make geeking out on vintage weights fun and interesting to watch.
Love hearing stories of history lessons it’s wonderful
Great haul for Brian! I used to go to a gym in the mid-1970's that had these deep-dish York plates and ship's-wheel collars. I haven't seen them for decades!
This York kit couldnt be in better hands. Great find!
Wow very cool. Never knew they’re rare but I have a set of the old York ship wheel collars
You are the biggest gym nerd, and it's awesome!!
Love to see you and eddie, plzz make videos with himm🥰🥰
Brian is definitely the right person to get these stunning weights 💪
Those collars are great. Ive used them for a long time. Great find. Merry Christmas.
Living in York, PA I can agree, it’s fun to go to york barbell to buy weights
the smile on your face said it all, like a kid at chrismas 😬😬😬🥳🥳💪👍👍
Love this content
Great find !!! Congrants B
A gym I use to train at overseas had one random set of deep dish York plates... I would literally wait until no one was using them and use them all... For some reason benching with these plates just make you feel good
Those were the first plates I learned to workout with! We would call the 45s "wheels". There were also these 5 pound iron locks that had a vice type lock that screwed down tight. Brings back a lot of memories!! Thanks for sharing!💪🏽💯
We called the 45 pound plates slabs.
Brian seems like such a thoughtful individual. Completely counter to the "big dumb brute" stereotype.
So great the attention you’re bringing to Iron History
It's so cool to see him as happy as a kid in a toy store. Congratulations, Brian, on getting your York plates.
Awesome Brian!!
Good for you bro! keep it up.
You want to find old deep dish Yorks? Go to high school weight rooms that are not renovated. I was a strength coach for 30 years. We had many deep dish Yorks from many years before I became strength coach. I never got rid of any weights. We also had a set of blob York Dumbbells.
Brian, my dad and Bob Hoffman were friends. At a minimum 60+ years ago my dad bought standard size weights from including a power rack from Hoffmann barbell. Unfortunately i dont have them. I remember very well watching my dad workout with them in the basement laundry room.
Wow
Interesting episode. Congratulations.
Merry Christmas 🎅 Everyone! Be great and clean your plate....
The provenance associated with this find is exceptional.
Good to see you became steward to it all for all posterity.
That brick is valuable, I'd get a custom engraved plate for it that states the business & actual address where that brick came from. Maybe someday Brian will get some York "MARS" plates, those are very rare. **Be Great**
The Mars DD were not made by York. It’s still unknown who / where they were made. Plenty of iconic plates out there. Can never go wrong with York DD 💪🏻
I love how passionate and respectful you were handling those weights. To most people they’re just hunks of iron. To you and that man you got them from they’re prized possessions. I know those weren’t cheap, I hope you get to enjoy those.
Awesome looking plates for sure. I have a few York dumbbells that were my dad's. I also have some Challenge, and Hercules barbells that aren't olympic...not sure how special those are though.
Nice find!💪👍
I remember the old episode .. I LOVE BRIANS PASSION ON HISTORY OF STRONG MAN...WHAT AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE SPORT
You could really feel the genuine happiness
That guy needs to come to Brian’s gym, can see the love and passion
Great great stuff nice to know even though you’re retired you’re passion for lifting is not going anywhere
I have picked up a fair amount of vintage standard(1in) plates. less loved, but the history of them is awesome and it's nice to have 50lb plates since they aren't that common. I also like that the math is simpler since everything is 1.25,2.5,5,10,25,50lbs. Happy to see these going to a nice home just like the nautilus equipment.
Love the lil jab at the end 😂😂😂
Total awesomeness
brass the collars and use as papper weights, and brassing is fairly easy to learn and do, needs heat a brass wheel ad a drill
You are a worthy ambassador to the sport, and Iron game history Mr. Shaw. Great video.
My high school gym had these plates with old school benches. I'm talking back in 2004 not sure what they have now.
All those plates and two enormous strongmen, that's a hard working truck !
Those ship wheel collars are a nice find too.
I hope when the day comes for Brian to pass all his equipment on to his sons that they respect it and enjoy it as much as there father did. We are only on this planet for a few dreams and then we're gone. What we leave behind is what is important. A man/woman has to leave a legacy. No matter what you're interested in life teach/share your knowledge with someone
Never seen brian with a hat that i can remember black is his color 👍🏼. Those are very cool weights congrats on getting them 💪🏽.
I love us men if nothing else because we have the ability to get super excited over an old brick 😂 There’s something special in seeing such value in things that are objectivelly valueless ❤
Well said! lol
The brick is from the building at 51 Broad Street, where the York Gang trained in the 50's and 60's. You could walk in off the street, go up the stairs to the second floor, and work out with the nation's top lifters.
So good!!
Just moving them is a workout by itself!
Super nice plates!
Good find. I used to collect York plates and dumbbells ( globes).
I want to see this Historic Strongman Gym you are putting together!!!!
