Well to be honest they also had massive trees they would have tho move in front of the ship as it moves but they were many vikings on one ship. But we Swedes have high pain tolerance and athletic genes becouse of our tough climate not only from raiding but just from hunting and living in general.
Met him at Mohegan Sun a few years ago he was eating at Michael Jordans and I gave him a thumbs up through the window. He saw me and waved me in. When I walked up to his table he I shook his hand it felt like I was shaking hands with a guy wearing a catchers mit.
MattIsVicious he’s cutting at the moment he dropped from 30 stone so he’s not as strong as he used to be. At full weight and peak he would give Brian a decent challenge at this event
MattIsVicious he said he feels strong just now but he also said he is going to get some propper training in and put on some size and strength in the next few months hahaha
@@eddysmith5137 I'd guess he's around 340-360 lbs, idk when it was recorded but from watching his videos that's the weight he was at around winter time if i'm not mistaken
TRippey T Eddie’s dropped a lot of weight recently and isn’t training like he used to. 2017 Eddie would probably have been at least some competition for Brian.
yeah but brian and robert both have a hundred pounds and 6 inches on him, eddie was way bigger too just can't find his weight here cause he lost so much
Nick is like the older brother, Brian is the middle child with good genetics and Robert and Eddie are like twins that argue all the time about who’s better

These guys have been doing a lot of Viking strength challenges on HISTORY. Would be pretty great to see them cameo in the final season of Vikings that's on HISTORY.
@@1345-m9s thor only gets to wsm status about 2 months to a month before the competition, for just pure power all the time and natural ability you cant beat brian.
Nick doesnt need to be ashamed at all. Also, he said hes not that heavy, hes 6'2 and 320, that may be smaller than the others, but hes not small, and he absolutely deserves respect.
When I was a little kid I remember watching my dad who i thought was the strongest man in the world push a stuck car from of that very same parking lot My parents would take us kid to visit the Hjemkomst Center for the day. Great old memories brought back from 25 plus years ago from seeing this episode My dad was no small guy at 6’6 and over 300 pounds, my family came from Norway back in the day.
Frank Hoog Eddie said in 2016 that after he won a WSM title he would be retiring unless somebody beat his 500 kg deadlift (in which case he would start training again and attempt to beat their record).
All these dudes are incredibly strong and ive kinda been following for awhile. I know Eddie has lost weight and not doing the strongman stuff like he use to. But It's pretty amazing watching Brian go last every time. It's like they know hes going to beat w.e by alot. Ive only seen 6 or 7 of these videos so it might not be true. Just kinda nuts how he performs. They all are beast
Brian should have tossed a medicine ball at Eddies face during that pull for payback, LOL... ( It's on Brian channel for those who are curious what I'm talking about )
Wheels....the mechanical advantage of the wheels. With those 5 wheels on there the ACTUAL force to move that boat would only be around 2000 to 3000 lbs.
Apart from 60,000lbs being exaggerated most likely they also don't tell you the enormous mechanical advantage those five wheels yield. Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is equal to the wheel's radius divided by the axle's radius. Estimating that value and multiplying it by 5 (5 wheels) the actual force needed to move that "60,000lbs" boat is probably only around 2000 to 3000 lbs.
In terms of physics, I can’t even imagine how hard this feat of strength is. The heavy ship, slightly inclined course, cold weather, plus the coefficients of static and kinetic friction. Sheesh.
Mordecai heck no nick has been awesome so he lifted 2,000 pounds in england against bryan, lifted the 1400 pounds log and has beat the guys in a couple things
@@rubensalcedo6046 I think he has the most DNFs though, as in he Ould not complete the challenge because he doesn't want to risk hurting himself or he got gassed early on in the competition.

Mordecai that i can agree, Also we need To see that he is 50 years old and the shortest of the group, i would have loved To see nick best at his prime against this guys, i think nick at his prime was stronger than oberst and hall
@@mordecairaysor9483 Well the injury factor goes up massively once you go past 35...regardless of how strong you are, you're wearing out hte body each year and these guys do it at a much higher rate due to the things they do.

Oberst you didn't win your body didn't cross the line . Typical American cheater . Also Eddie didn't nearly pass out but then Eddie is stronger than you
I watched a Netflix show where it took 10 people to pull a ship a quarter this size, granted it was a little bit farther and in sand but the fact that these men pulled it by themselves is so mind blowing
I love how Nick always gives his best despite his age.

You don't need to train to compete he is training
Nick was right, height and weight are everything for this challenge, so naturally Brian annihilated it.
Right? Brian 6'-8", 440 lbs. And hes used to pulling things. Next biggest guy Oberst was maybe 6'-6", 390 lbs when this aired.

I knew without a doubt in my mind that Brian would win that awesome 😁
Yeah because he's by far the heaviest. Ed was competitive and has beat Brian in pulls two or three times when his bodyweight was the same.
stefl14 I wouldn’t say by far the heaviest, but he heaviest for sure
Joe M. Salazar Brian is I think close to 70lb heavier
The Hamburgler but still way larger then 99% of the population lol
Joe M. Salazar if you are heavier than that or come close that is not good because most people that heavy aren’t pure muscle
Would have been interesting to see how long it took with all 4 of them
David McLean I'd imagine just over 10 seconds
It would just be a brisk walk pace
It would be like the old days...bunch of hulking giant men towing a massive viking ship to the nearest river
Kinda wanted to see a team pull, how fast could they move it together.
Seeing as how Brian alone did it in 44 seconds, I'd guess 15 seconds.
Gosh I would love to meet Brian someday. So soft-spoken and gentle yet one of the strongest to ever walk on face of Earth.
Bryan Shaw is literally the dad of the group and Eddie and oberst are like the children and the dynamic is amazing
Nick is the dad and Brian is the older brother.
Robert: Eddie is like a 4th grader.
Same guy: USA, USA, USA!!!!
Ayele Matthias were the qbs at
He only said that bcoz it was insulting to Eddie

Theres a reason they save Brain for the end
Hes without a doubt the strongest man alive right now, with or without the 2019 title.
thor would like a word with u

Nick doesnt need to be ashamed at all. Also, he said hes not that heavy, hes 6'2 and 320, that may be smaller than the others, but hes not small, and he absolutely deserves respect.
Yes and his squat is still world class (for powerlifting).
@@markuspalmqvist3692 Indeed. He also holds the record for hip lifts, with 2500 lbs.

never give up.

I love that this clip keeps in their natural banter and them encouraging one another during each other's pulls.

Rare footage of Brian arriving before Eddie.
I mean,lets be real we all knew Bryan was winning this without even watching it.
Poor Nick...he comes in last a lot...but he's also the lightest and the oldest...and still has super human strength!
He also has a world record and a joint world record, too. He's great!
Ahh yes, steel trailers... my favorite natural viking artifact.
How long you want it to be? They dont have time to lay a series of logs down as they pull it (thats how they moved big things back then).
@@Vanlifecrisis They don't have time to put logs down, but they have time to get a life sized Viking boat replica?
When Obie mocks Eddie, I knew that behind their strong bodies they have a pure heart like kids.
Isnt eddie basicly retired?, yet he still got that time
Frank Hoog He is and lost a bunch of weight. In 2017 at his peak he beat Brian at the plane pull at WSM
Frank Hoog Eddie said in 2016 that after he won a WSM title he would be retiring unless somebody beat his 500 kg deadlift (in which case he would start training again and attempt to beat their record).
pretty much retired from competition but keeping the strongman diet so he can still do things like this. Plus he is going all out on bench right now
What I’ve noticed is that Brian’s the strongest eddies the most explosive/best athlete
Oberst is in between them and nick is them in the future
Yep agree...Eddie is so explosive that's why he is probably the best at static exercises. Brian is just superb all rounder.
Brian was so late it was actually summer before he arrived.
these strongmen clips are awesome. these guys need to do more tv series together
Great job Brian. It was obvious that you where going to smash that event.
Don't be disappointed, Nick. We're all so impressed and we love you.

How could you have a group of Strongmen pull a Viking ship without Thor!?
Wheels....the mechanical advantage of the wheels. With those 5 wheels on there the ACTUAL force to move that boat would only be around 2000 to 3000 lbs.
No one else notice how they kicked the cone for obrest to win?
How does that tiny incline make the ship from 12,000 lbs to 60,000 lbs???
I think the 60,000 lbs was a bit exaggerated.
Apart from 60,000lbs being exaggerated most likely they also don't tell you the enormous mechanical advantage those five wheels yield. Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is equal to the wheel's radius divided by the axle's radius.
