+supertraining06 I'm so freaking proud of him as an American! Seeing him win brings me happiness. I hope some day he comes to take the American Deadlift Record.
+supertraining06 Thanks for bringing Brian to the gym. Watching the other dead lift video you guys did and seeing his wider stance helped me out a lot. Feels much more natural to me personally.
If you use being too tall as an excuse I've got an exercise for you: 1. Raise your right hand level with your cheek and away from your body. 2. Rapidly swing your palm towards your face. Do 5 sets of 10 every day until you stop making excuses.
BaByEfrain www.powerliftingwatch.com/records/900-pound-deadlift From this list all but 1 of the top 10 deadlifts of all time were done by people over 6ft (the other being 5'11). Strong deadlifters being tall is the rule not the exception.
Jim Giant Of course. Not sure if my network is small, but I'm not familiar with too many lifters that are ~5, 7" and 300+ lbs. I think we can both agree that the heavier you are, the more you can lift?(To a certain extent) I'm sure we can also agree that when we consider someone who is 5,7" 182 lbs and pulling in the low-mid 7s, and we compare him to a SHW who is pulling low 9's, the latter is weaker, relative speaking.
BaByEfrain A 6ft guy is going to find it much harder to reach 2x bodyweight deadlift than a 5ft guy due to the square-cube rule but that's why WILKS scores exists. A 5'7 powerlifter at 182 is going to be far stronger than a 6ft guy the same weight (if they have the same bodyfat) but the 6ft guy shouldn't be competing at that weight anyway, he should be bulking to at least 220 and competing in that class. That's one of the great things about powerlifting, it's suited for people of any height.
I love how a lot of people think powerlifters are big dumb meat heads but in reality most of them are very intelligent, erudite, and well-spoken, as evidenced in all of your videos.
Brian is such a well-spoken athlete. I appreciate his laid back personality and intelligent training style. The deadlift is such a challenging and rewarding movement. I am 6'2", with long legs, struggling to not destroy my back every back day. Brian's advice is golden. He really inspires me to be the best I can be.
Trying brians method made my deadlift feel much more comfortable from the first time trying it. The idea of placing my hips where i get the most jumping thrust is a game changer. Thanks a ton
Fantastic video. It's really striking how humble and articulate Brian is about his strength and technique. Already amped up to deadlift with these new cues to work with!
YOu have no idea how happy I was to rewatch this video after a year... to find that the great brian shaw once had the exact same deadlift issues that I have and having the privilege to learn from him on how to fix it is just more than i can ask for. And also at 9:38 .... For so long, I've preached that adversity makes you stronger. Seeing that literally brought a tear to my eyes. This is the best powerlifting channel in the world. Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you.
I am so glad he talked a lot and explained in detail cause as a new lifter I am watching various videos lately and most of them talk too fast or too quick of a video to digest all the info unless rewinding again n again. Good upload, thanks.
I understand saying Kali Muscle has bad form...but telling a 3x World's Strongest Man winner that he has bad form...is like those people that google their symptoms and then telling their doctors how to go about treating them.
Scarx2gt doctors know a lot about modern medicine but not always much about common health sense. They think just cuz he’s a doctor he is some kind of know it all health guru. Nope they just know modern medicine or whatever there speciality is. Then again if ur an average American u prolly don’t have much health sense either.
This video is the real deal. Lift heavy in a way that's most comfortable in YOUR own way. Very humble beast and like he says "the proof is in the pudding" everyone said his bench would suck because of his height but with some hard work and figuring out your own way to perform lifts will determine how far you go. Good shit mate.
i am now a new and huge fan of Brian Shaw. he seems like such a nice guy. i can't believe it. very well spoken. very friendly. he's very encouraging. im a huge fan now...huge.
Strongest lifter in the world; smartest lifter in the world. Every single little thing has to be perfect on this lift, otherwise you are going to blow it - from head to toe, your form has got to be on, or you're going to end up dropping the bar and snapping some shit. I've learned that, and while I'm pushing MY heavy lifts, I am still trying to find new ways of standing and pivoting to get that bar up and over. Thanks for these videos, Super. Just found your channel and already it's showing a lot of quality content.
Thank you ! ST and Shaw. After 30+ years deadlifting at 6'4" tall and being stuck in the mid 600lbs, I just assumed I had to use a lot of ham and erectors. But Shaw being taller than me, I got no excuses. I have now fixed my form with hips now being low and this also fixed my internal hip socket pain !!!
I've always struggled with the width of my feet and nothing made more sense to me than your comment about thinking about getting ready to jump. Thank you !!
Wow, I just finished watching the video. Brian Shaw, 4x Worlds Longest Conversationalist. All jokes aside, Brian is an absolute inspiration to the Strongman Sport. So humble and just always seems at peace. Everyone should try to be more like Brian.
So I have always used the squeeze your glutes together and where your feet end up is your perfect lifting stance method for deadlifts. I just tried using my squat stance for deadlifts, and the difference is unmistakable, more power off the ground with the wider stance and less strain on the back. Thanks Brian, you're my hero!..lol.
As a tall guy (Not nearly as tall as Bryan, obviously) trying to glean as much useful information as possible from the interwebs about how to powerlift... most of the advice is from guys that just dont have levers as long as mine. It's sometimes hard to know what advice is good for me and what isn't. Sometimes when something feels better even though it shouldn't, it gives me pause. So I was really glad to hear Bryan go on a while about that. The subtitles almost imply you guys are apologizing for it, but that's really great information that you just dont get very often. Thanks for sharing.
He has such a humble raw passion for the sport and loves using his journey and progress to genuinely help others. He seems to go off on tangents but really its more of a transparency thing walking anyone who wants to hear it his exact method to getting to where he did kinda like a "show your work" problem on a Math test. He does this for the sole reason of giving you the formula of how he got to where he did, so this way you can come to your own perfect stance and have the most success with your Deadlifting career giving you a game changing method of finding that perfect base to get you as far as biomechanically possible for your own personal goals. A true champion he doesnt view himself as superior or above anybody
I'm 6'4 and though I was never going to be pulling conventional ever again and eat butt for the rest of my life (aka pull sumo). The wider stance fixed all of it. It's so weird, it immediately felt so much more natural. Thank you so much for this awesome video with these AMAZING guests !
Still a noob 5 months but THAAAANK you so much for this ! last week my PR was 315x 6 after watching this vid I tried his style today and fit me perfectly although I am just 5ft10 but I have short arms and long legs and with a regular stance I am just to much forward so I tried all of his tips roll the bar stood wider and lower and push the ground like some sort of a squat the deadlift up lol and did a new pr 10 reps 315 at 180BW it all felt so easy and comfy lol I even think I had more in me if my grip wouldn't betray me ....
What a top bloke. Genuinely nice personality the thing that stuck me was he obvious passion for what he does and Really wanted to listener to understand every part of the lift.
Thank you mark bell for the video Brian is one strong guy I'm going to deadlift like this from now on I love your videos and I'm loving your all purpose wraps that I recently bought I hope one day I can be on your channel in a video
I found his comment funny because I was just telling my friend pretty much the same shit the other day. I told him I don't count lifts with straps, you can grip that bar and dead it or you can't. I never use any lifting aids, not even a belt.
Great video Mark!! Right up there with the Ed Coan videos. Like the Coan vids, it was great how you pulled out what he was thinking, how he got to where he is now with his Deadlifts. Thanks again.
Everytime he says something positive about another strongman/powerlifter style competitor it just reminds me how humble this absolute ANIMAL of a human Brian Shaw is Mad, mad respect for everything he does and represents
He talked a lot, but it really helped me. I'm just now getting into deadlifts. I'm 56 years and can squat and bench more than I can deadlift. It's because I've never done them very much and have not developed hardly any kind of form or technique. I feel stronger in a Romanian deadlift than a regular. As an experienced lifter mostly doing body building style training. It's obvious that if your already pretty strong that practice on form. Will definitely improve your lift . A person can be strong as bull. But that strength is not as usable if form and technique are not practiced
Honestly all the talking before lifting was pretty insightful and made the video better. If all I wanted to see was him lifting, I'd watch a competition video!
Fantastic tips from an amazing athlete. It's intimidating how much technique, training and thought goes into being a great deadlifter. Seems like mobility is really something I need to work on.
"So how big should be the Sling Shot wall Mark?" " I dunno make it around 10 feet so everybody will fit comfortably in the frame and the ceiling wont show...."
I tried the dead lift today for the first time ever. and had seen this and other videos where Brian does it. So my buddy and I tried 90 plus the bar and I as I went up it was almost like I did small jump. I told my buddy we should increase the weight but he told me since it was my first time I have to keep it low to not get injured. But his technic really works.
Brian Shaw seems to be one of the humblest athletes I've seen
+Colt Nash (Ironclad Training) Hell yeah. Seriously
Great role model! Wish he posted more :/ but he is prepping
Ye these vids have definitely made me respect him more
Word, Come check out my comunity page. We need more dudes like you there!

I agree. He seems a really nice guy.
It was an honor to have the Worlds Strongest Man tell us in detail how he demonstrates such super human strength!
+supertraining06 I'm so freaking proud of him as an American! Seeing him win brings me happiness. I hope some day he comes to take the American Deadlift Record.
+supertraining06 just humble giant!
+supertraining06 Thanks for bringing Brian to the gym. Watching the other dead lift video you guys did and seeing his wider stance helped me out a lot. Feels much more natural to me personally.
+supertraining06 Awesome how you had shaw in there. Would probably get first one year if he wasn't so damn tall.
Chuck Norris Hahaha... Chuck MF'n Norris!
when i grow up i want to be brian shaw...
+Silent Mike just eat your Wheaties bro.
you're almost there....noooch
+Silent Mike Hahaha we aren't getting any taller, son!
+Mike Rashid vitamin s? lol. luimarco on the daillyyyyyy
+Mike Rashid i want what your on bro
This 6 foot 8 400lbs giant has such a calm voice and super well spoken. Super smart guy as well, no wonder he's the best in the world.
If you use being too tall as an excuse I've got an exercise for you:
1. Raise your right hand level with your cheek and away from your body.
2. Rapidly swing your palm towards your face.

You can't use an anomaly and apply it to the general public :/

don't try to generalise tenths of thousands of people
They do?
Are you okay babe?
Katherine Smith except mark bell, mark bells a meathead😂😭
General gym population might have something to do with that..
My mate decided to have a shot every time Brian said the word 'like'. May he rest in peace.
XD
Go to 0:52 😂
I love how the World's Strongest Man says things like, "...not that I'm comparing myself to the best powerlifter of all time."
Brian is a fuckin beast man, I look up to him soooo much
you look up to him everyday.
"Not that'd I'd compare myself to the greatest powerlifter ever" coming from the greatest strongman ever
I didn't release that Big Z said that
@@IronMan-qi3yg release lol
Louis Cyr was stronger.
@@erikainzunza1295 No, no he wasn't
He seems like such a humble and genuine dude. So rare among professional athletes nowadays, big respect!
I love listening to this big dude talk ... I have big respect for him..
Brian is such a well-spoken athlete. I appreciate his laid back personality and intelligent training style. The deadlift is such a challenging and rewarding movement.

Brian Shaw, THANK YOU.
Because of you i hit a new PR . I lifted 507 at the age of 16 and working out for a year and 3 months. Very satisfied.
that was Deadlift and Chill.... Brian's awesome, I commented on his
instagram and he replied he was all nice I love that guy.
World's strongest central nervous system
Legend Gotta Catch Em All thats what im more impressed with
love seeing such a successful guy be so humble and genuine. seems like a really good guy
Brian is a very good teacher.
Trying brians method made my deadlift feel much more comfortable from the first time trying it. The idea of placing my hips where i get the most jumping thrust is a game changer.
Thanks a ton
Brian Shaw speaks so humbly yet you can learn so much from him. Guy's a savage, I suggest watching his documentary on Vice Sports.
+Isaac Campos I agree
Fantastic video. It's really striking how humble and articulate Brian is about his strength and technique. Already amped up to deadlift with these new cues to work with!
What humble and kind hearted dude. Professional. Thanks for the video Mark.
How about a big congrats to Brian on his 4th WSM win on Aug 23rd 2016 in Botswana. One more to go and he ties Marius P all time WSM win record of 5.
YOu have no idea how happy I was to rewatch this video after a year... to find that the great brian shaw once had the exact same deadlift issues that I have and having the privilege to learn from him on how to fix it is just more than i can ask for.

I am so glad he talked a lot and explained in detail cause as a new lifter I am watching various videos lately and most of them talk too fast or too quick of a video to digest all the info unless rewinding again n again. Good upload, thanks.
I love Brian shaw he comes across as such a decent guy really articulate and explain everything so well.
Really amazing stuff as usual man, can't believe this stuff is free for everyone!
I understand saying Kali Muscle has bad form...but telling a 3x World's Strongest Man winner that he has bad form...is like those people that google their symptoms and then telling their doctors how to go about treating them.

@Big Tyson Idiot.
Love Brian Shaw! So so helpful to hear his full details on the dl's

Nice to hear from the greatest. Hope these videos would not stop.
20:25 LOL what the actualy FUCK?"
i am now a new and huge fan of Brian Shaw. he seems like such a nice guy. i can't believe it. very well spoken. very friendly. he's very encouraging. im a huge fan now...huge.
Man... Brian is such a nice guy, and explains stuff so clearly! He would have been a good school professor!!
This channel is the best power lifting instructional channel out there. Everything is so good! Keep up the great work.
this man is an absolute monster!!! he seems like the nicest guy ever
He knows his craft and can intelligently explain his technique. He sounds like a great guy.
really love listening to brain explain lifts! these videos are getting fuckin better and better!! great job guys!
Always found Brian's deadlift stance a bit strange but it makes sense after this.

Is anyone else amazed that all great athletes are humble and always in a constant state of learning?
You guys should do another powercast with Brian, very interesting character

this was truly awesome to see. please more strongman competitors .thank you so much super training gym for bringing it together
Im aware that this video os old but I watched this for the first time today and it helped my broken deadlift of 5 years in one training session.
seems like an awesome dude
The way he lifts at 23:40 looks so damn strong, this just shows you how good this position is
I will def work on my stance
Still a noob 5 months but THAAAANK you so much for this ! last week my PR was 315x 6 after watching this vid I tried his style today and fit me perfectly although I am just 5ft10 but I have short arms and long legs and with a regular stance I am just to much forward so I tried all of his tips roll the bar stood wider and lower and push the ground like some sort of a squat the deadlift up lol and did a new pr 10 reps 315 at 180BW it all felt so easy and comfy lol I even think I had more in me if my grip wouldn't betray me ....
Brian Shaw is one of the best ...Amazing dude..respect
I really like these video's with Brian Shaw. He is such a cool guy. Very nice and humble but strong and very motivational!
Love the summaries at the end Mark! Can't wait to see you again at the Arnold!
Brian Shaw. What a class act! Thanks for the tips.
Great series of videos with Brian Shaw. Thanks for the great content guys.
What a top bloke. Genuinely nice personality the thing that stuck me was he obvious passion for what he does and Really wanted to listener to understand every part of the lift.
mark, thats my favorite intro music. i get chills everytime i hear it.
if you run Brian through a copy machine at 50% reduction, you'd end up with Mark.
Two strong, intelligent, down-to-earth guys. Huge fan of 'em both.
Such a beast, and solid info. These videos never disappoint Mark!
Thank you mark bell for the video Brian is one strong guy I'm going to deadlift like this from now on I love your videos and I'm loving your all purpose wraps that I recently bought I hope one day I can be on your channel in a video
I started the video in the morning before work and had to pause until getting out of work at night to see the actual deadlift. worth it
Shaw has been one of my favourite guests at super training for sure!
If you want to know how strong somebody is ask them how much they can deadlift raw. Fact brian. i love this channel. subbed because of that sentence
I found his comment funny because I was just telling my friend pretty much the same shit the other day. I told him I don't count lifts with straps, you can grip that bar and dead it or you can't. I never use any lifting aids, not even a belt.
How much can you deadlift raw
u can have a belt when "raw" lifting
FullSpectrum Survivalist you definitely don't deadlift 500 pounds or more like myself or you'd be using a belt or probably snapping your damn spine
Brian Shaw master of his craft. The professor.
Brian Shaw seems like a really chill guy.
10:36, wow, those arms man!
What an awesome video! Brian Shaw id amazing for sure, big as a monster, strong as a hulk!
Great video Mark!! Right up there with the Ed Coan videos. Like the Coan vids, it was great how you pulled out what he was thinking, how he got to where he is now with his Deadlifts. Thanks again.
he lifts the heaviest weight in the world but he talks in the most humble way ive ever seen out of all the athletes out there
Great video and demonstrating your technique. Brian is a great inspiration and gentlemen. Thanks to both of y'all.
Everytime he says something positive about another strongman/powerlifter style competitor it just reminds me how humble this absolute ANIMAL of a human Brian Shaw is
Mad, mad respect for everything he does and represents
He talked a lot, but it really helped me. I'm just now getting into deadlifts. I'm 56 years and can squat and bench more than I can deadlift. It's because I've never done them very much and have not developed hardly any kind of form or technique. I feel stronger in a Romanian deadlift than a regular. As an experienced lifter mostly doing body building style training. It's obvious that if your already pretty strong that practice on form. Will definitely improve your lift . A person can be strong as bull. But that strength is not as usable if form and technique are not practiced
Honestly all the talking before lifting was pretty insightful and made the video better. If all I wanted to see was him lifting, I'd watch a competition video!
great video!!! Brian Shaw is really enthusiastic, I'm so glad he's not just like"I grab the bar and lift...full stop"
What a humble giant. Awesome Video.
In awe at the size of this lad, absolute unit.
Great video, enjoyed the extra info. Humble guy giving great advice.
Precious Information from the strongest Guru's again.. good job mark..
I like Brian, very humble, nice guy.
Fantastic tips from an amazing athlete. It's intimidating how much technique, training and thought goes into being a great deadlifter. Seems like mobility is really something I need to work on.
Great video. A lot of good info and details on the finer aspects of this lift.. from the big man himself!
"So how big should be the Sling Shot wall Mark?"
" I dunno make it around 10 feet so everybody will fit comfortably in the frame and the ceiling wont show...."
20:27 lmao i love it
Brian Shaw just about to demo a lift aaaand syrtaki Greek music
THAT was surreal and beautiful :D
Saw this for the first time today. A+ material
This is most informative video I’ve ever watched in my entire life.
nice video, humble guy.
the prom pose with Shaw lmao I can't
I tried the dead lift today for the first time ever. and had seen this and other videos where Brian does it. So my buddy and I tried 90 plus the bar and I as I went up it was almost like I did small jump. I told my buddy we should increase the weight but he told me since it was my first time I have to keep it low to not get injured. But his technic really works.
