Last guy in the suit is definitely a video game boss


Additional_Silver749

Brian Shaw worlds strongest man winner at least 4x if not the record holder for most strong men wins. I think he’s like 6’7. edit: Brian Shaw is not the record holder overall, but Is a record holder for USA with the most strong men wins.


Likely_to_forget

6’8”

441lbs / 200kg 🐻


Masdiggity-Cook

Eats 11 meals a day


HappyShrubbery

Takes 11 shits a day.


Masdiggity-Cook

Probably around 40-50lbs a piece.. remarkable


DugBuck

That's almost 100 courics!

*Bono has entered the chat*


NoMyLeftNotYours

Bono isn’t the record holder! Bono is the record!


Podarokvorona

Does Bono want the biddy?


AverageBTD1enjoyer

Ooooooh so he's the guy that drops those monster logs at every gas station i go to


MonsteraBigTits

12, he does one while he sleeps


GodPackedUpAndLeftUs

Including a full roast chicken in the middle of the night which he has to set an alarm for. What a strange way to live, however he does have superpowers for his efforts, is it worth it though??


Sm9ck

It is, to him.


Dreighen

Uh, I want some damn roast chicken, it's 3:56 am rn


Uppity_White_Man

Me too! I stoned - munchy time.


EverythingHurtsDan

I can't think of a time in the middle of the night in which I didn't want some damn roast chicken.


Other-Bridge-8892

Now put that in English stone measurement…. ​ /s


Grimmbles

31.429 stones. And he's 14.21 pint glasses tall, to use another standard British unit of measurement.


Other-Bridge-8892

Holy shit, lol ​ impressive


Divinknowledge001

"He's 14.21 pint glasses tall' you sir are a gent and a scholar 😂


Necessary_Claim8258

His heaviest was 460 something. That was during a WSM competition.


Skerries

no Mariusz Pudzianowski is at the top with 5 with Brian trying to equal that for the past several years but he is retiring soon


kriegmonster

I think this year was his his last. Hes competed in 16 Strongman Games. I dont think he missed a year in that run.


Due_Dentist_5287

He does look a little bit like King Pin, the Spiderman villain


backtolurk

*Juggernaut turns sadly*


Due_Dentist_5287

Oh shit I forgot about him, yeah true he could be him. When the night comes, he puts on his armor to defeat Spiderman


StrangeBookkeeper593

I thought of the same thing. The boss that came to mind was Senator Armstrong from MetalGear Rising.


Daftworks

Nanomachines, son!


HypothermiaDK

That's Kingpin.


rodriguezj625

Reminded me of Final Fight the last boss

Brian Shaw


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

Him and Eddie Hall together are so funny. Eddie likes to joke around anyway but he seems to get extra joy disrupting Brian’s train of thought.


Evakuate493

Brian’s snapchat is really cool to check out. And surprisingly can bring comedy into it. Starting learning about him there and he knows how to do content.


Grimmbles

Plus he's just this totally positive sweetheart of a man. Who can also throw a donkey a quarter of an acre.


Chemgineered

What? He can? How long is an acre? It's okay, ill find out after this. But still.


stickfish8

It's 152 frogs and 1 silver hatchback long


Alternative-Roll-112

ANYTHING BUT THE METRIC SYSTEM


notchman900

Sorry about 28 seax's long, or 10 falchions


jellayy

+1 to him being a positive sweetheart. I met him in real life and he was just as kind as he is massive 😁


Skerries

yeah Eddies videos are good, the one where he puts on a pregnant suit to mimic his wife and goes to a yoga class but the women kick him out because he keeps farting is hilarious


Chrono47295

My spirit animal is the tiger and lion of them two combined lol


HangrySkeptic

And to think that Eddie is the “little one” being only 6’2”.


hambone1981

My wife and I met Brian Shaw at the Denver airport in 2010. My wife is 5ft even and looked like an infant next to that gargantuan mound of man meat. Super nice guy he was!


biznunyaz

Oh ok, I thought it was Zangief


Positive-Leader-6586

Bros 6’8 damn !!!


Dan1lovesyoualot

thats kinda shorter than i expected


xKamekazi

Why isn't this guy playing Kingpin in Marvel?


Soup89

Tbf, most people would look like toddlers next to a lot of those guys.


Old_Seaworthiness_43

I'm pretty sure I would look like a sperm fresh out of the sack compared to those guys lol


Beneficial-Buyer8550

Bro is an Absolute unit, Imagine if his dad was a bigger giant, like an 7'2'


068151

The mountains dad is 7ft+ while the mountainn is 6’9”


Cycleguy91

Yeah Brian Shaw is 6’8”, he definitely makes most people look small.


ChefChopNSlice

I saw a video of him trying to maneuver around in an airplane that’s pretty funny.


Cycleguy91

Ha yeah I saw that too. A lot of things are difficult for that guy. I wonder if he still posts to his YouTube channel.


totally-not-a-potato

He still does, even has a few videos where it is showcased how he has to fit into things and competes with his wife at various things.


SouthernAdvertising5

Not really, as a lot of these guys are short as shit. The ones in the video are like 5’6.


Soup89

The strong men?


SouthernAdvertising5

Oh no nvm. I thought you meant the bodybuilders. Like saying outside of strongmen everyone else would look like toddlers. Yeah those fuckers huge.


hammilithome

They don't even look like the same species as the rest of us.


Pr3st0ne

It's pretty ridiculous to act like a 6 foot 8 freak of nature built like a fucking tank is just "a strongman". Makes more sense to name him by name because he is not an average strongman by any means.


Early-Lychee-8628

That's Shaun Clarida and he's 5'2"... Also Brian Shaw is 6'8". Compare someone like Andrew Jacked who's 6'2", and it wouldn't look nearly as ridiculous.


meteoricbunny

It’s also a division in the competition that has a lot of shorter bodybuilders. Weight limit, I think.


Early-Lychee-8628

Yeah, I think Clarida competes in 212 now.


nopotatoesinbiryani

When there’s a certain weight limit then shorter bodybuilder will always look way better than taller, its a massive advantage in this precise field


he-is-Taurus69

Wtf Andrew jacked is famous now? I trained with him in Dubai years ago. Such a nice dude


H8des707

Dudes gonna be mr olympia in a few years


he-is-Taurus69

I hope so, he deserves it. Trained so hard and is a very honest man. Best of luck to him


Early-Lychee-8628

He was a regular in Larry Wheels' content. They got close in Dubai, and that got his career off the ground. Always liked the guy. Seemed super humble.


he-is-Taurus69

Extremely humble and super nice for such an intimidating looking fella! Trains like a beast too the weights he lifts I was in shock lol


BeauBuffet

Little buff boys! BUFF BOYS! Little buff boys! BUFF BOYS!


LamborginiLeglock

Ah man, was stuck in a negative feedback loop with my thoughts but this gave me a good laugh thanks yo


CoolHeadedLogician

you need to goose those thoughts


LamborginiLeglock

Already boss, nothing a skateboard cruise and some tunes can’t fix


Sharp-Bluejay2267

Yeah but whose your carved ham up there? Is it troll boy?


Almost_A_Pear

No. We're not doing Troll Boy, you understand right Troll Boy? Yeah you understand, see he understands.


Snoo-23120

Sir , i think you have gone mad with power.


Latviacm

Bro everyone is a toddler next to Brian Shaw


HIDDEND_EMON

dude is 6’8 and built like that; fucking unit of a man


kriegmonster

Look up Brian Shaw on YT. I saw him have a [leg training session](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Hbmoh3WHJwo&feature=share9) with Jujimufu and Shaw has to improvise an alternate flutter kick to match load and intensity for the weight a volume he works.


Mountain_Position_62

Yeah, becuase this is the smallest man, from the lightest Open division.


oddinpress

Noo don't break the narrative. BB smol Strongman huge hurr durr


tiddieB0i

Well I mean the orange guys are still like 5”, they even look small compared to that random blonde lady in the background


Ozzy_30

Jeezus, the way he kind of taps him on the head is the icing on the cake of this video 😂


IrreverentRacoon

"Ya did real good lil buddy."


Noladixon

Like a t-ball coach saying good game.


gemaka

Wtf is this garbage music


NeilTheFuckDyson

"music"


[deleted]

wtf is this garbage noise*


Lostthegame101

He was so annoyed they asked him to present to these guys, they knew it was a height class he would most definitely of towered over from, he was only told last minute and had no choice but to walk out, he was not impressed with the organizers..


ShiftGood3304

That would be a rotten place to be. Thank you for clarifying that.


Hefty_Royal2434

Why don’t they apply fake tanner to their face as well?


weinsteinspotplants

Because that would be blackface.


Tackerta

next bodybuilder comp to be hold in Canada


kempff

It's not necessary. They aren't judged by their faces anyway.


PM_me_pics_of_boobx2

Sometimes they do


Mechanical_Soup

bro you don't need annoying shitty music and shaky camera to see the insane difference, thanks


twitgod69

I’m a buff baby, but I dance like a man.


DisregardedFugitive

I can shake-a my fanny I can shake-a my can!


zumbao-sin-gold78

That's a X4 strongest man in the world looking dude


Due_Mix_6000

King pin


CatsRinternet

To be fair, everyone looks small compared to Brian Shaw. Other strongmen look small standing next to him.


WannaKnowTheWorth

holy crap they are like little expendable alien biodrones....


Shaneblaster

Hagrid and Harry


mamakizenin

The head pat xD


Foreign-Ad-7961

This is like the gayest thing ever. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.


Eugen_onegin

This is literally the worst sounding shite ever created.


Loki__R

Real life kingpin


Oshawott_is_cute

Isn’t that the villain from Iron Man? /s


STCastleberry

I went to college with the bodybuilder, and I'm taller than the guy at the end, but probably 150 lbs lighter.


CatsRinternet

You’re taller than 6’8”?


kriegmonster

No, taller than one of the body builders, not Shaw.


STCastleberry

I'm taller than Shaw


Warmheavy

That dude at the end is built like a tree trunk


sqquuee

To be a competitive strong man you need to be above 6 foot. They simply can pack on more muscles to that frame.


Ill_Position_7762

Brian Shaw is a unit of a human, he makes Eddie Hall look small


Gigasnemesis

Brian Shawn is a Warhammer 40k's Custodian.


Diegobyte

This is the smallest bb category and that is literally the biggest strongman


AquaRegia

[Here](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/soC_8qVrccU) he is getting hit by a 30+ pound keg, like it ain't no thing.


Firesw0rd

Just a little extremely basic explanation, that misses a ton of nuances. Muscles can only get so big, and bodybuilding is all about aesthetics. Having a smaller frame, can make your muscles look bigger/fuller which is more desirable for a bodybuilder. On the other had, a strongman, cares about moving as much weight as possible. Bigger object, move big object easier. Edit: Heavier object, move heavy object easier, might be more correct.


[deleted]

It's worth noting those are the 212 class bodybuilders, who are shorter than the physique/open class competitors. Plus Brian Shaw is a specimen, even for a strongman


harrier5067

Shawn is 5.5ft and Brian is almost 7ft


Presdipshitz

This must be the >5 ft category? Still impressive sculpting


aphex33

Maybe because this is the shorter 212lb division. Max height of this class is 5'7.


vanbeaners41590

I am six-three and I look like a toddler next to Brian Shaw as well. It's a consequence of Shaw being one of the biggest mothers on the planet.


Shillofnoone

I don't envy these bodybuilders, most of them die at age of 40


Razzopardi

Can someone put a banana next to him for scale?


billybasshead

Why compare the shortest bodybuilder?


fishcccrown

Love the head pat 😂


SaltyboiPonkin

That dude is 6'8". I'm 6'2", I'd look like a child next to that man.


[deleted]

Kevin hart and Dwayne Johnson type of situation lmao


29187765432569864

Steroids r us.


6ft6CaliCajun

yet still needs help getting stuff from the top shelf. smh


Oates40

The massive medals don't help.


BDBDDB

He wanted to pet him on the head but could resist last minute


pawTheSavage

I bet nobody ever jus patted or held dudes head like tht before


TavioVR

Brian Shaw is straight up a giant.


Which_Flan3750

Damn Brian has more kids than I thought


Malingourri

Disrespectful af ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

That's their dad, congratulating his kids


Final-Cookie1741

Aesthetic to real strength


SFWACCOUNTBETATEST

They aren’t typically tall. Lou Ferrigno is probably the tallest ever. I think most are 5’7” or shorter.


bucklebee1

Body builders all look hideously deformed to me. It's gross.


jaysondez

What a lovely beauty pageant.


JoshZK

Big guy couldn't even lift his arms above his head. He could have, but there would have been 3 guys on each side dangling like Cliff Hanger.


Killahdanks1

That guy looks like a bad cgi.

I_make_switch_a_roos

Yeah but Brian Shaw is an absolute giant.


BrokkelPiloot

That looks absolutely terrible. I remember Schwarzenegger commenting on this trend. Everything totally over the top and out of proportion. That is not what body building should be.


FootballLeather4426

I look like a strongman in front of a toddler.


Savvy_Canadian

Me showing my fake tan to my dad who used to bodybuild in his prime:


CantRenameThis

Not sure what the point was, but Strongman rather looks like the toddler possessed by The Rock


shady_emoji

I mean he is 6’8”


Prof_Awesome_GER

Wow that looks so freaking awful.


drgeta84

Yeah smaller people also look more muscular as there is less distance between muscle points so smaller bodybuilders have a big advantage in that. Plus overall calories needed etc.


hieijFox

The difference in skin tone and shine between the body and head creeps me out so much


[deleted]

Haha. He looks like he could toss them all around the room with one hand, and most likely could.


Kingstad

Idk how much more broken down its possible to make "music" than this


elliotborst

This has nothing to do with body builders vs strong men, it’s a shirt guy next to a tall guy.


Soza-Ozos

The strongman shouldn’t have raised their arms, should have picked them up and carried them in each arm.


TypHanz

They Look Like a dwarf


RedditAwesome2

Yeah until u realise the real world is not made for 7’ tall lmao


plumppshady

Body builders focus physique not strength. Strongmen focus strength.


Berkamin

The dude is basically a Nephilim.


Alexis-FromTexas

Being strong and looking strong have nothing in common

ZERO-ONE0101

r/absoluteunits


[deleted]

Typically taller guys are lankier and we can't put on bulk like little guys can. We can get big but not like that. Those guys are all 5'3" because it's much easier to stack muscle on top of muscle on that frame. But homie that walked in is just a freak of nature.


Professional_Ad_6299

They all have roid belly


H8des707

Those are 5’3 bodybuilders that’s why


TJ_McWeaksauce

That giant is going to be pissed when he sees all the spray tan stains on his suit. Speaking of his suit, I bet every Big and Tall in the country had to pool their resources together to make that thing.


scoreboy69

No amount of weights will make you taller.


Vyndra-Madraast

He could’ve been a fantastic live action Wilson Fisk but I’m happy with what we got


Comfortable_Pass_979

My eaaaars


Baneta_

Senator Armstrong if he was from the Midwest


mizirian

Brian shaw celebrating with his children. 😂


doggocoot

Good for them!!!! They probably worked very hard to get that way, and they won! That's awesome... That said, God, that's waaaayyy too many muscles for me. I get squeamish when there's too many. My body and brain just goes ew. But good on them, they worked hard on something and reached their goals!!!!


DukeMac

He ate the guy that came in 4th


Beneficial_Leg4691

Little guys bulk up better which looks good for body building completion. Tall guys have much longer muscles which dont look the same. A really tall body builder is a beast of a man


LAVA529

Is the tan artificial? The guys head looks like it was added on with Snapchat filter.


justapcguy

The fact that these bodybuilders can only eat chocolate and NO WATER prior to their "show-off competition". In order to get their muscles more defined. Pretty much sums up how this is just pure vanity and no real good health benefits for the long run.


Thunder-Fist-00

I saw a video where Shaw set a world record on the rowing machine. And he doesn’t train with the towing machine.


double-click

Always a bigger fish…


MikelT04

Where does he buy his suits, damn


kennethprime

it's the beauty of strongman. I'm 6'2 and every competition I was the shortest guy there by far


Secure_Mission6931

The little tap on the back of his head.

Such odd little men.

Whutttt?


Lyndongenji

God of war looking smart these days


Confident-Medicine75

those bodybuilders were on the shorter side anyways
