true, but its more a common thing that happens with larry wheels more than just spotting but him training with another guy, especially when pr-ing' 98% of the time results in injury or close larry definitely is great to catch the weight and hold it, but its appears like a curse with him
Nick is a freaking monster, but my goodness Brian makes him look like a normal human . . . Even though he clearly isn't. Love these two guys, always enjoy their videos together.
Keep in mind, Nick Best is 14 years older than Brian. I know Brian is Super Human but Nick is just as inspiring. Together, these guys bring out the BEST in each other.
True Dat brother! I would love to see Nick, Brian and Eddie do a punch test. To see who punches harder. After seeing Brian throw down that 500 like it was a baby, I think it would be scary!
I know it’s been mentioned a couple of times but the fact that Nick is 14 years older than Brian just proves what kind of strength athlete and animal he is. The dude is unstoppable even after injuries he just seems to get better/smarter about his training.
Brian has said before he had video scheduled with Eddie and then when the pandemic hit it screwed everything up. Damn pandemic made us miss some awesome videos of Brian and Eddie together. I guess Eddie was supposed to go to Brian‘s house for like two weeks I think he was supposed to be the first person to train at Brian‘s new gym
Can I just say even though it's not really a huge deal but round the 4:28 is mark how badass it looked from Brian being the spotter for Nick how the weight on the left side didn't touch the hook at first but then he muscled the one side on the hook the 2nd time. I feel like a lot of people would've had an issue with that. Brian is such a badass but humble guy
That was an amazing workout with a lot of volume and very impressive bench pressing. Great seeing Nick working out with Brian and helping "B" in his drive for his 5th WSM....
I like your videos with Nick Best. He doesn't have the negative banter other guys have with Brian. Nick stays positive and a good influence around Brian.
Dude i love Shaws mindset ,ofcourse just a phenominal athlete, never scared to push the barriers ..and then he goes further, again Shaw's a strong man "all rounder strength" he doesn't specialise in single categories of powerlifting/bench press training and building just one movement over and over again ,to raw dog 500LBS like that whilst pyramiding upto that weight and..doing weighted bar plank pulls is just incredible ,like Eddie Hall "which "broke a powerlifting WORLD record for heaviest deadlift" says ,its like something clicks in the mindset ,just turbo mode ,a killer instinct mode activates ,fkn love that !
Lets not for one second forget that we just saw Nick Best doing 'conditioning' supersets with a 6 plate bench press. I love his modest and gentle personality, but that he can be the person he is, and be capable of what he has achieved, makes him even more impressive. The chemistry you guys have is gold - I hope you and Eddie and Obie get to make more shows together some day. And as to Brian hitting 10 plates AFTER finishing his bench session? It wasn't even close to a max. That's a 5 time WSM flex right there ;-)
Even though I only weigh 130 it’s the most I’ve ever weighed in my whole life, I’ve been working out for almost a year now and it’s been life changing, you are such an inspiration Brian I really admire all the hard work you have put into this! Always stay motivated and always shoot for the stars ✨
Nick is still strong as bull at his age and keeps moving on. So awesome! They should train on a consistent basis along with oberest and Eddie hall. They could help push Shaw to his limits and Hopefullly Shaw will win the WSM 2022.
Good to have a good ol training video. Also a blast to see Shaw do some bench. I remember when he was programming a "road to 700" or something. Lotsa volume, lotsa weight, was awesome
I’ve started to do the 4x25 at the beginning to warm up thanks to Brian and I love it. Also Brian repping 400 is what I imagine myself looking like warming up with 135 lol
If it slipped Brian would of clean and jerked it and probably spun the bar like a basketball on his pointer finger a few times then re-racked it for Nick
Nicks 50 ! He doesn't look 50,,not at all ,i know he's a well seasoned veteran in the sport ,bruting it out like that ,this putting in work ,these guys are just on another level , insane again. Phenominal, flawless mindset,flawless effort!
That was fun to watch; these training collaborations are by far the best content you put out. When I saw this was with Nick Best I couldn't click fast enough.
I miss watching the training, so I like these a lot. So much talent in the world right now. To ever win a title is impressive, but right now the pool is super deep, and to watch you all fight it out is a lot of fun. Especially now that we can watch and see what goes into it
My brother and I got to meet Nick at the SBD Official Strongman Games and he was so nice and cool to talk to. My brother described shaking his as what he'd imagine shaking hands with a gorilla would be like because his grip was insane. To see him look smaller next Brian puts in to perspective how big Brian is 😂. Love the content with these guys 💪
Everybody talking about Brian this Nick that. But holy crap the editing has gone to the next level, this videos are a pleasure to watch. Huge congratz to James.
Nick has packed so much power in his frame, powerful build. Comprehensive training to get it done. Brian is really in a sweet spot right now, looking forward to seeing this year’s competitions and how well he does.
Nick’s stem cell treatment has got him having some serious fun with top level competitors and it is a real pleasure to watch. Plenty of fight in this dog.
You are both animals but the slight edge I have to give to Nick. With his age and not long off from his lat re-attachment that was a heroic workout. Looking forward to you bringing home that 5th title win this year.
Brian your a beast bro.. I'm 52 with a 405 bench at 265lbs watching you makes me feel weak and small lol. It keeps me motivated love watching y'all train..
Love it when your with one of those big 3 u did the show with. I’m really hoping you do a hour long podcast episode with Nick. He has been in the sport for so long. Would love to hear some stories
Great video, love it when you guys collaborate. My other favourite is the squat session you had in Eddie's gym in Stoke before he got a home gym, years ago when it was closed and just you guys in there. Besty got serious weight moved on the squat.
You know you workout for many reasons - one is to get stronger, but it's another world entirely when you're already strong to get stronger. How do you push yourself to something beyond. That's what makes this incredible.
The best part about working out with Brian Shaw is your weight is likely lighter than his, so if you go for that extra rep or higher set and it starts going south, he's got you covered.
Brian needs a training partner to push him like his old crew used to. Its so cool to watch the energy flow and the hype build when hes got a man like Nick BEST in the house. LOVE the collaborations with other big strong dudes! Eddie needs to finish the boxing stuff and come back to spend time with Brian. I miss those two being on camera together
Imagine how safe it must feel to have Brian spotting you.
Imagine how terrifying it must be to have Larry Wheels spotting you.
@@TheEvilWithinKevin probably the best spotter you could get
true, but its more a common thing that happens with larry wheels more than just spotting but him training with another guy, especially when pr-ing' 98% of the time results in injury or close
larry definitely is great to catch the weight and hold it, but its appears like a curse with him
@@Michael_eagle99 that’s true, but people should know their own limits. Nobody can keep up with Larry and that’s super obvious so idk why people do
but also brian can deadlift significantly more than larry, means he can grab easier, tho both could spot this weight, pretty good
Nick is a freaking monster, but my goodness Brian makes him look like a normal human . . . Even though he clearly isn't. Love these two guys, always enjoy their videos together.
Brian makes people look small. I didn’t realize how large a man Nick is till I saw him next to other people.
Tbh they both still look like giants compared to average size people
Nick Best is one of the nicest people you could lift with.
Nick isn't in his prime anymore but still going strong.
Nick might lose to Brian on some things, but NIck will NEVER lose because he did not try. Proved that on the History Channel series.
Keep in mind, Nick Best is 14 years older than Brian. I know Brian is Super Human but Nick is just as inspiring. Together, these guys bring out the BEST in each other.
Best...
I see what you did there 😜
Nick is an animal, made it to the wsm final at 50 years old...
Before he tore his pec he was a 600lb bencher
True Dat brother! I would love to see Nick, Brian and Eddie do a punch test. To see who punches harder. After seeing Brian throw down that 500 like it was a baby, I think it would be scary!
I agree man. If I'm half as strong as nick is at his age I'd be doing well. Brian's just an all out beast.
The fact that Nick can still hang with Brian in his mid 50s is super impressive
True he ages backwards lol
He's only 53. I had to look that up too, I thought he was in his late-50s.
@@Vladpryde “only” 53 lmao
But he cannot. Hes not even close. Brian is the strongest man to have walked the planet
@@metelfann3 2017 eddie, 2014 big z, 2018 thor, 2011 brian. the strongest men to ever live, but 2017 eddie takes the title
I know it’s been mentioned a couple of times but the fact that Nick is 14 years older than Brian just proves what kind of strength athlete and animal he is. The dude is unstoppable even after injuries he just seems to get better/smarter about his training.
Yeah but Felix is like 85 and looks 30 ;) totally agree these older athletes are just amazing.
Its almost like taking peds would help ppl look better hmmm...
@@sergf3624 if taken intelligently yeh. If taken wrong….well you start looking like a skeleton sooner than later.
Just like Mark Felix or Elbrus Nigmatullin. Dad Strength is nothing to sneeze at.
Bro I love Nick he such a kind heart and you can tell Brian honestly happy to have him there.
I always love seeing the old gang from History's Strongest get back together. I hope there's a follow up in the future; they have such good chemistry.
“We’re gonna pick stuff up, and put it down.” Nick Best is so awesome!😆😆😆
But its the opposite in benchpressing
@@sepix048 Picking it up from a rack and placing it down on it.
@@tapiomaaranen5265 all a question of perspective
What a great example these guys are. As a guy in my late 60's getting ready for this year's competitions, these guys are inspiring.
Im 56, so , watching Nick work with Brian is so inspiring. Amazing work Nick! Love that Brian dialled him in. Fun collab! Good luck to you both!
You should have a reunion of the Strongest men in history cast. Would love to see Nick ,Obie , Brian and of course Eddie all train at Brian's house.
Brian has said before he had video scheduled with Eddie and then when the pandemic hit it screwed everything up. Damn pandemic made us miss some awesome videos of Brian and Eddie together. I guess Eddie was supposed to go to Brian‘s house for like two weeks I think he was supposed to be the first person to train at Brian‘s new gym
This would be awesome. It would get crazy views too. Anytime Brian and Eddie get together the views explode.
Can I just say even though it's not really a huge deal but round the 4:28 is mark how badass it looked from Brian being the spotter for Nick how the weight on the left side didn't touch the hook at first but then he muscled the one side on the hook the 2nd time. I feel like a lot of people would've had an issue with that. Brian is such a badass but humble guy
I want more videos with Brian and Nick training. Nick , thanks for showing Shaw us older guys still have it.
Nick is a legend, Brian seems to be explosive, those weights are just flying up
That was an amazing workout with a lot of volume and very impressive bench pressing.
Great seeing Nick working out with Brian and helping "B" in his drive for his 5th WSM....
Nick with the Empire Strikes Back reference!
I love videos like this… just two chill dudes working out. Makes me want to hit the gym!
i love how nick looks like a mini brian!! keep it up guys much respect
Always great to see Nick with you Brian. Thank you!!!
I like your videos with Nick Best. He doesn't have the negative banter other guys have with Brian. Nick stays positive and a good influence around Brian.
I just hit 500 lbs on Deadlift this week and here comes Brian hitting it on bench, just reminding me how crazy this massive man is 😅
Congrats dude! My best dl was 495.
Great numbers brothers, I’m a long way from getting there. But I’ll make it
Keep it up boss
@@briancurtis3965 Mine was 480 but I stopped working out. I hadn't even plateaued once, I had a long way to go.
If Brian trained bench, it's useless,but he could reach 700 prob
Nick is my hero 50 plus years old and he keeps competing. Brian Shaw is a monster. America Strong!
I love Nick, the excitement levels and the love in his eyes looking at Brian almost brings tears to me eyes 😂. Buzzing for this video! Let’s goooo
I love getting to watch nick! He’s definitely one of my favorites of all time!

I also think bringing in people from other sports to do strongman training is very entertaining! Thanks for time!
The b role editing has been fire and the song choices just as good. Keep it up !!

Keep up the good work
Just eat bro you got this
@@Token_Black_Guy are you serious thats horrible advice just eat bro eat eat untill you get fat and wonder why he still looks like shit smh
Love Nick man! So awesome having him on with you

Brian..5th Title WSM 2022.. 🙏🤞🏆
I love seeing Brian and Nick Best together! Nick is honestly such a genuine person! Love him! I only wish him the best!
Bada Boom! Make sure to tip your waitresses!
Actually insane to Nick in the shape he is in at 50 years old! Great video guys love seeing y’all lift together
Good to have a good ol training video. Also a blast to see Shaw do some bench. I remember when he was programming a "road to 700" or something. Lotsa volume, lotsa weight, was awesome
May is coming soon man. Cant wait and what an inspiration....i need to grow up a couple inches
I’ve started to do the 4x25 at the beginning to warm up thanks to Brian and I love it. Also Brian repping 400 is what I imagine myself looking like warming up with 135 lol
Colorado’s very proud of our amazing Mr. Shaw!!
I had a heart attack every time Nick had to re-rack the weight.
Agree, but if brian is my spotter, i will never be worried
@DrWiggles the rack was set for Brian, so nick wouldn’t be able to re rack it safely at the height it was.
If it slipped Brian would of clean and jerked it and probably spun the bar like a basketball on his pointer finger a few times then re-racked it for Nick
Both of these men know what it means to "go out and be GREAT."
Nick is such a legend, always great seeing him with the bois
Just listened to your podcast episode with Nick. Very inspirational!
Nicks 50 ! He doesn't look 50,,not at all ,i know he's a well seasoned veteran in the sport ,bruting it out like that ,this putting in work ,these guys are just on another level , insane again. Phenominal, flawless mindset,flawless effort!

Love it when your with one of those big 3 u did the show with. I’m really hoping you do a hour long podcast episode with Nick. He has been in the sport for so long. Would love to hear some stories
You mean big 4. Eddie and Oberst
@@VAHOSS “when you’re with one of those Big 3s” is not couting Brian in this comment. The comment was correct
I think Brian need to start a Shaw strength brand of gym equipment.
Yes 👍
I’d buy all of it. ALL OF IT
Nick an Brian are ABSOLUTE BEASTS!!!!!!……..I was pushing for you Nick!…….being 50 myself I was ready to press my sofa ………
Watching these guys work is so motivating
I am sorry I have not responded in quite a while. You and the family are Fantastic and moving and Grooving, keep it up. Thank You 😊
Nick is an amazing strongman, hanging in there with Brian shows just how strong he really is!
Nick seems like the nicest dude and is still at beast, big ups to him
All the boxes in the background are his weeks worth of protein. I do also have to say it's awesome to see Nick still kicking ass.
Great video, love it when you guys collaborate. My other favourite is the squat session you had in Eddie's gym in Stoke before he got a home gym, years ago when it was closed and just you guys in there. Besty got serious weight moved on the squat.
Love Nick Best!! Hope he and his family are still all healthy and happy!,
You too Shaw Family!!💕
Go get it Brian, looks like number 5 is within your grasp, keep it up and wishing youth best!
I want Brian to Win that 5th Title so bad. If he doesn't, my year will be ruined😢.
Get Er Done Brian🏆🙏💖
That row bench is bad ass, I definitely want one! Be good for keeping up the rear delts! Enjoyed watching you guys train!!
Great for lats and traps as well. I use one with a straight bar
I have probably been to 50+ gyms and I have never seen anything like that. Looks awesome!
@@tylerschroeder3722 you mainly see them at rowing and canoeing house gyms
Those reps are amazing in themselves, but for Nick to keep up is even more amazing!
You know you workout for many reasons - one is to get stronger, but it's another world entirely when you're already strong to get stronger. How do you push yourself to something beyond. That's what makes this incredible.
Always impressive stuff Brian, good work
I like seeing Brian do Wenning Warmups, they helped me a ton
Bring back Obie and Eddie! We want a season 2 of the strongest men in history!
that;'s not happening .. last time the producers just gave all the strongman fans blue balls and that killed it..
I like the videos that you do with Nick better than when you do videos with anyone else. You two just seem to work so well together
Awesome watching you two workout! Nick looks great! Brian, let's go! WSM title baby!
Absolutely 👍 💯 %
Always great to see Nick Best! Great content!
You can definitely see the difference in a strongman & a STRONGMAN in this video.
The best part about working out with Brian Shaw is your weight is likely lighter than his, so if you go for that extra rep or higher set and it starts going south, he's got you covered.
Couple of the coolest dudes on earth right here. Great role models, and strength/strongman ambassadors for kids to look up to 🙏💪
Nick is such a great dude and an example to us all
Well this is just wholesome good to see you guys training together 👌
Nick is a great guy!!!! Love you, Brian!!!! Be great always!
Strongest man in history reunion, get they boys back together for a killer gym session and shenanigans!!!
Music's a little loud compared to voice. Great video as usual, like these two together.
Two giants in more ways than one. Brilliant session. Thanks, fellas💪👍💪
hahaha i love Nick.."we are gonna pick stuff up and put it down"hahaha love that man. you are by name and person the Best dude
This is the duo we need. Get Eddie and pretty boy with beard together. Get the whole gang together!
I just love how their heads got pink every time at the end of the rows
Really good to see you and Nick working together.

What a great guy nick is he uses and dusts your equipment at the same time 6:38.
Nick Best and Brian Shaw training together like the good ole days
Great video guys I really enjoyed it.
I swear that Nick Best comes across as a total nerd but in a good way. Super strong and a nerd. Great combo. Both great guys that seem super nice!
i love when you guys do videos together
Anyone else catch the dubsteppification of Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" at 1:20? Or am I the only synthpop/strongman nerd in the world?
The bench press series with Tyler was awesome. Miss those videos.
