He probably said that after looking at the picture of him next to Brian Shaw. Made him look like a child... definitely didn't think it was possible to make Brian look small lol
I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now. I Have to admit, I'm really loving your energy and dedication to keeping it honest and humble. clearly a guy who hasn't forgotten how much work it took to get as far as he has.
Brian Alsruhe He will be at the Houston Tx American Fit Expo June 3rd and 4th I know I said this before but hope you can make it out because I wanna meet you and shake your hand.
Says he doesn't like circus dumbbell and circus dumbbell doesn't like him *Sets state record in circus dumbbell* You're the man, Brian. True inspiration!
It was awesome seeing you compete in person man ! I was in the 231 class and I was sitting down with my fiancé who competed with the women and you came and sat next to us. I wanted to say hello but I was kinda star struck honestly lol big fan and the fact that you were in this contest was a big reason why we decided to do it and drive down from Massachusetts. Good luck on your training man !
I want to drop this right here. The loyal brand did me real good recently. ordered my blurple RISE shirt and another shirt on April 20. on April 27, I received a refund on part of my order. turns out the other shirt I ordered was out of stock. It happens. I've run an online warehouse myself and it is impossible to be 100% accurate on stock. so I got my refund for the out of stock shirt and was gonna order an alternate, but I forgot with exams and stuff coming. well when I got my neversate shirt, they threw in the alternate i was gonna order for free! that's darn good service! (And a little spooky!)
Dude you are fuckin awesome. Your vids are always entertaining and your vibe is so positive and motivating. Congratulations for the win. PLEASE keep going (y)
Great job dude! I was googling for Maryland's Strongest in 2016 and I couldn't find you, but instead I found your wife who got 1st place in her weight cat! Nice!!
Moving up a weight class, sweeping the comp, setting a state record and you still maintain the same humbleness that myself (and I'm sure many others) admire so much; thank you for not disappointing. Congrats Brian!
Great job! I don't think you can say the circus dumbbell hates you anymore since you hold a state record - pretty sure there must be a rule about that...Also congratulations on winning your first ever DL event! Great job on the recording Brian's mom!
Am I the only person who wants to know what Brian was watching on Netflix the night before?Congratulations on your performance! You are truly inspiring - keep it going.
any chance you can make a progression video on your decline rotating plate behind head from side to side that you do with your giant sets. im stuck with 5lb plate and often have to stop due to poor ab strength or lower back pain.
Congrats!!! I've noticed, fwiw, that when I'm rolling/bjj my grip suffers for the short-term (maybe what happened with your farmers?), but after a deload, comes back better than ever. Maybe the extra squeezing and work, I dunno. Anyway, EXCELLENT job! Keep it up!!!
Great work Brian! It's awesome that you won your heavy weight debut. Also, I wanted to let you know that I did the strongman comp. at my university. I "won" my weight class, but I was the only person it that class, haha. I was very happy with my performance regardless of the results. Thank you for the inspiration.
This is probably the first time I've ever commented on RUclips, but I gotta give credit where it's due. Incredible performance man. I'm trying to become a powerlifter at 145 lbs, still a beginner and have a long way to go but your videos have helped a lot man! Especially with my weak grip. Keep doing what you're doing man! Hope to see some national records broken some time in the future haha
CONGRATULATIONS buddy! Have been waiting to see the results all weekend! I guess soon we will be having 2 Brians competing in the World's Strongest Man??? So inspiring! Thanks for sharing man!
Congratulations Brian that's awesome!! What a thrill to break the circus dumbbell record and come in 1st place!! By the way, just got my RISE shirt yesterday, love it!!
When i was out with Brian Shaw his sponsor gave me some of them. They are supposed to align your jaw which will add strength. I am undecided if it works yet or not
Brian! Getting close to 50k subscriber's. Congratulations brother! I am thinking some type of big lift in celebration?! Wish you much continued success brother.
Define Irony. Brian hates circus dumbbell, sets Delaware state record. Then placed 1st in HWT division. My analysis is: You're not human, you're a cyborg. Awesome job Brian, everytime I watch your videos I wanna go pick heavy things up.
Congrats Brian, awesome video!! Best on youtube for sure. Currently following the program you wrote for me, KILLING IT. Squat up 10lbs in 9 weeks. If anybody is reading this have Brian put together a program for you, your gains will be amazing.
Congrats Brian, so much respect. This really makes me wanna compete. I'm focusing on powerlifting right now, but I think next year i'll focus more on strongman. Always looking forward to more videos from you
Awesome job, congratulations! ... I just joined a bjj gym 3 weeks ago, not only is it great for your flexibility but it does wonders for your humility as well! Haha. Nothing like getting mauled by some dude 40lbs lighter!
I'm embarrassed to say I just discovered Brian and his videos. I liked, subscribed, and watched about 10 of his videos last night. Then me and my son walked up and down the sidewalk doing farmer's walks with heavy Dumbbells last night. Brian, you are an inspiration!
Man, I'm gone for a week, and you set a state record, win your first heavy weight comp, and break 50lk subscribers. What else happened while I was gone? What would happen if I was gone for 2 weeks?
Could you do a tire flip tutorial please? Especially very heavy tire flipping! I just joined a new gym and they have 3 tires, but I have never flipped a tire before. The 2nd of which is about 550 which I was able to flip 4 times, but I was unhappy with my technique and feel I can do better with much less risk of injury with proper technique. The heaviest tire is approximately 760 lbs and I want to flip it at some point!
Congratulations Brian! This Saturday I have my second Strongman competition ever and watching your videos has helped me greatly both with my technique and inspiration wise, thank you for the amazing content!
Brian! You are just such a pleasure to watch! Every video leaves me feeling energized. Love your positive vibe great job on the comp very happy for you. Thanks for what you do.
Climbing the mountian on the home front of the heavyweight division! nice👊 gr8 job sir. I know u work for a living. And can't wait to see u in more strongman (heavy weight class) events. But please just stay way from Alan T's burritos I think they fill you up too much. Lol j/p On the norm gr8 video ty starring. Also when are u going to show us ur choke arm skills? hmmm leg locks? ok about to hit the gym. later
Awesome job Brian! I just have to say I'm in my 40's and just do regular weight lifting stuff. I just want to look relatively good and maintain strength as I get older. I have no aspirations to try a single rep or workout that you do. I say that to say that's how much I enjoy your videos and watching your channel. I watch even though I'm never going to try any of this shit that you do. Keep doing exactly what you're doing. It's working for you and you'll blow up soon enough. It's going to happen and you deserve it. I'm really glad I found this channel. You are a great youtuber...and seemingly a great person in general.
Hey Brian, I recall in one of your videos, or maybe it was in a comment, you mentioned you broke your back before. Do you mind if I ask how it happened? I hurt my back squatting last year. Not sure if it was just bad form, or if it was just a freak accident that'll never happen again, but I've been afraid to squat because of it, and I feel like it's holding back my training. Strangely enough, I have no problem deadlifting, or overhead pressing, so I feel that I've recovered enough physically, but I guess I'm asking if you have any tips to get over the mental aspect of it.
This is possibly my first comment on youtube. Brian, you're the man. I've been following your channel for some time and I'm a big fan. Congratulations.
Congratulations Brian! State champ & state record is a huge thing! So very happy for you. What is next for you? Some R&R and setting your sight on the next comp or what have you planned? I am very stoked to see all that hard work and dedication paying off. This will be your years :)
"There are very strong guys in the heavyweight, much stronger than I am."
Placed 1st and breaks the record. Not in this State lol.
Hahaha just wait and watch...the pool is VERY deep!
Sztanga imagine if Brian had another 40 lbs or more
Austin Adkins dude can already overhead my entire combined household, counting the cats.
This man just said "in this little body of mine"
Bro, there is nothing little about you..
His ego, maybe. Totally humble guy.
Hahaha!
Derek.C I think he meant at 1:07
hahahaha
He probably said that after looking at the picture of him next to Brian Shaw. Made him look like a child... definitely didn't think it was possible to make Brian look small lol
State record? Wouldn't expect anything less from Brian, congrats!
Hahah thanks!
Brian Alsruhe congts on hitting 50grand and first place... I see more wins and subs in the future!
I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now. I Have to admit, I'm really loving your energy and dedication to keeping it honest and humble. clearly a guy who hasn't forgotten how much work it took to get as far as he has.
Thank you so much, that really does mean a lot!
Brian Shaw makes you look like Ant Man and you ain't puny.
Hahah yep. He is big
Brian Alsruhe He will be at the Houston Tx American Fit Expo June 3rd and 4th I know I said this before but hope you can make it out because I wanna meet you and shake your hand.
Says he doesn't like circus dumbbell and circus dumbbell doesn't like him
*Sets state record in circus dumbbell*
You're the man, Brian. True inspiration!
Hahah there is still the metal dislike, trust me!
Congrats Brian, you deserved it. 1:07 tho, Shawn is a fucking giant
He is ridiculously huge
I almost just lost my drink! How big is that guy? Also how tall are you?
Congrats Brian. You're a nice guy and deserve all the success in the world! Work hard and be nice to each other!!!
Absolutely!
It was awesome seeing you compete in person man ! I was in the 231 class and I was sitting down with my fiancé who competed with the women and you came and sat next to us. I wanted to say hello but I was kinda star struck honestly lol big fan and the fact that you were in this contest was a big reason why we decided to do it and drive down from Massachusetts. Good luck on your training man !
That is so awesome man, you should have said hi! I love to meet people like you guys!
Next time for sure !
Yo congrats brother, i'm just getting into strongman myself. I'm overseas in Burma right now, shout out from the Corps haha!
That is awesome man!
Notification squad
Thanks for checking it out!
Thats awesome, looks like you were maybe holding yourself back by cutting
Could be, that is something I will really have to think about
231lb brian = 710 deadlift therefore 300lb brian = 909lb deadlift
EAT
Hahaha
I want to drop this right here. The loyal brand did me real good recently. ordered my blurple RISE shirt and another shirt on April 20. on April 27, I received a refund on part of my order. turns out the other shirt I ordered was out of stock.

That is so awesome, they are good people over there!
Hell yeah!!
Thanks Boss!
Dude you are fuckin awesome. Your vids are always entertaining and your vibe is so positive and motivating. Congratulations for the win. PLEASE keep going (y)
Great job dude! I was googling for Maryland's Strongest in 2016 and I couldn't find you, but instead I found your wife who got 1st place in her weight cat! Nice!!
Moving up a weight class, sweeping the comp, setting a state record and you still maintain the same humbleness that myself (and I'm sure many others) admire so much; thank you for not disappointing. Congrats Brian!
Huge congrats, especially for the circus dumbbell!!
Thanks David!
awesome job Brian. I don't know much about water cuts and gorges etc but I bet that makes a difference not having to do it. congratulations
I think it absolutely did man!
Great job! I don't think you can say the circus dumbbell hates you anymore since you hold a state record - pretty sure there must be a rule about that...Also congratulations on winning your first ever DL event!
Great job on the recording Brian's mom!
CONGRATS!!! You've worked hard and deserve it.
Thank you so much!
Congrats man! That ice bath sounds legendary.
I think the guy who missed the 225 disliked the video.
Says he's bad at circus dumbbell. *Breaks state record.*
Hahah i am still bad at it, i just had a good day
congrats Brian awesome lifts!
Thank you!
Am I the only person who wants to know what Brian was watching on Netflix the night before?Congratulations on your performance! You are truly inspiring - keep it going.
I was thinking the same thing. Netflix needs a "Follow" option or something like that.
Hahaha Braveheart
Kyle Johnston "after that i just chilled out and watch netflix" ...i think its obvious man! :D
HOLY CRAP i though you were absolutely massive until your were standing beside brian shaw i could only imagine how amazing it must of been to see him!
Hahaha he is a super cool guy!
any chance you can make a progression video on your decline rotating plate behind head from side to side that you do with your giant sets. im stuck with 5lb plate and often have to stop due to poor ab strength or lower back pain.
Congrats!!!
I've noticed, fwiw, that when I'm rolling/bjj my grip suffers for the short-term (maybe what happened with your farmers?), but after a deload, comes back better than ever. Maybe the extra squeezing and work, I dunno.
Anyway, EXCELLENT job! Keep it up!!!
I was actually wondering he same thing!
Congratulations Brother! Totally Amazing!
Just one question, when are you gonna put on a kilt.
You're ready, more records for you to make/break.
Hahah dude i would love to get involved in that!
Great work Brian! It's awesome that you won your heavy weight debut.
Also, I wanted to let you know that I did the strongman comp. at my university. I "won" my weight class, but I was the only person it that class, haha. I was very happy with my performance regardless of the results. Thank you for the inspiration.
Dude what is important is that you did it! Great job!
Well you made all of that look easy.
Hahah didn't feel too bad!
Upload less than half an hour ago, 1000+ views, 0 dislikes. Excellent.
Thank you so much!

Congrats Brian. Glad for you man. Good luck in future events. RISE..
This is probably the first time I've ever commented on RUclips, but I gotta give credit where it's due. Incredible performance man. I'm trying to become a powerlifter at 145 lbs, still a beginner and have a long way to go but your videos have helped a lot man! Especially with my weak grip. Keep doing what you're doing man! Hope to see some national records broken some time in the future haha
My first youtube comment was on Brian's Channel, as well. Never felt inspired to comment before Brian.
Thank you so much man, i really appreciate that!
Congratulations Brian. Looking forward to more coverage of upcoming events. Great watch

Congratulations Brian on your win! Super-awesome, well done! Totally inspiring post, many thanks for sharing!
Congratulations Brian that's awesome!! What a thrill to break the circus dumbbell record and come in 1st place!! By the way, just got my RISE shirt yesterday, love it!!
You are an incredibly humble badass. Ever inspiring. Awesome job man! Congratulations! I hope to only see you achieve more for yourself!!
holy balls you're only 40 subs away from hitting 50k. And you won the event!? BRO!! Congrats on two amazing achievements.
Congrats bud, enjoying watching your progress, and how much the channel is growing, sky's the limit keep it up
Congrats Brian! I noticed you were using some sort of mouth guard for the atlas stones,
could you care to explain why you would need one? Thanks!
When i was out with Brian Shaw his sponsor gave me some of them. They are supposed to align your jaw which will add strength. I am undecided if it works yet or not
Thanks for the reply!
When and if you decided it works or not could you comment on it in one of your future videos?
Thanks!
I know some strength arhletes use them because they clench their jaw so tight and dont want to crack teeth
Brian! Getting close to 50k subscriber's. Congratulations brother! I am thinking some type of big lift in celebration?! Wish you much continued success brother.
Define Irony.
Brian hates circus dumbbell, sets Delaware state record.
Then placed 1st in HWT division.
My analysis is: You're not human, you're a cyborg.
Awesome job Brian, everytime I watch your videos I wanna go pick heavy things up.
Way to go Mr. Alsruhe. It's no wonder why the people around you do so well. Knowledgeable, Humble, Honest, with high Energy and Drive.
Congrats Brian, awesome video!! Best on youtube for sure. Currently following the program you wrote for me, KILLING IT. Squat up 10lbs in 9 weeks. If anybody is reading this have Brian put together a program for you, your gains will be amazing.
Damn you are massive but you look prepubescent next to Brian Shaw. Maybe changing my name to Brian will add 50 lbs of lean muscle to my body
Anyone else been here since NO DISLIKES on any videos?
Brian = most humble beast around!
Congrats Brian!!! Now I know why parking lot roads are cracked everywhere.
They decided to do the competition in the right place for an after competition. SPA, Acupuncture, chiropratic... lol
Congratulations. you work hard and you deserve to win. Stay your usual strong and positive self and the skys the limit.
Congrats Brian, so much respect. This really makes me wanna compete. I'm focusing on powerlifting right now, but I think next year i'll focus more on strongman. Always looking forward to more videos from you

Love how humble you are and how you motivate so many to make the impossible possible. Thanks for the motivation, Brian.
Congrats on the 1st place finish and state record👏💪 You are the most grateful man on RUclips😂
Awesome job Brian! I just have to say I'm in my 40's and just do regular weight lifting stuff. I just want to look relatively good and maintain strength as I get older.

Hey Brian how come and you have a Greek flag on your wall? Greetings from Greece. Btw your linear periodization program works like a charm!!!
Nice Man congrats you deserve it. So are you looking to compete in Heavyweight for the foreseeable future?
So with your ice bath, you had a true Netflix and chill night. Haha. Congrats man, truly inspiring!
This is possibly my first comment on youtube. Brian, you're the man. I've been following your channel for some time and I'm a big fan. Congratulations.
Awesome Brian! Thanks for letting us follow along on this journey.
Wait, are you telling me Nic Circus Dumbbell pressed more than he weighed? What the fuck, that is incredible.
Congratulations Brian! State champ & state record is a huge thing! So very happy for you. What is next for you? Some R&R and setting your sight on the next comp or what have you planned? I am very stoked to see all that hard work and dedication paying off. This will be your years :)
