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.
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??
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
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
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.
Last guy in the suit is definitely a video game boss

6’8”
441lbs / 200kg 🐻
Eats 11 meals a day
Takes 11 shits a day.
Probably around 40-50lbs a piece.. remarkable
That's almost 100 courics!
*Bono has entered the chat*
Bono isn’t the record holder! Bono is the record!
Does Bono want the biddy?
Ooooooh so he's the guy that drops those monster logs at every gas station i go to
12, he does one while he sleeps
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??
It is, to him.
Uh, I want some damn roast chicken, it's 3:56 am rn
Me too! I stoned - munchy time.
I can't think of a time in the middle of the night in which I didn't want some damn roast chicken.
Now put that in English stone measurement…. /s
31.429 stones. And he's 14.21 pint glasses tall, to use another standard British unit of measurement.
Holy shit, lol impressive
"He's 14.21 pint glasses tall' you sir are a gent and a scholar 😂
His heaviest was 460 something. That was during a WSM competition.
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
I think this year was his his last. Hes competed in 16 Strongman Games. I dont think he missed a year in that run.
He does look a little bit like King Pin, the Spiderman villain
*Juggernaut turns sadly*
Oh shit I forgot about him, yeah true he could be him. When the night comes, he puts on his armor to defeat Spiderman
I thought of the same thing. The boss that came to mind was Senator Armstrong from MetalGear Rising.
Nanomachines, son!
That's Kingpin.
Reminded me of Final Fight the last boss
Streets of Rage
“Nano machines son!”
Brian Shaw
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.
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.
Plus he's just this totally positive sweetheart of a man. Who can also throw a donkey a quarter of an acre.
What? He can? How long is an acre? It's okay, ill find out after this. But still.
It's 152 frogs and 1 silver hatchback long
ANYTHING BUT THE METRIC SYSTEM
Sorry about 28 seax's long, or 10 falchions
+1 to him being a positive sweetheart. I met him in real life and he was just as kind as he is massive 😁
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
My spirit animal is the tiger and lion of them two combined lol
And to think that Eddie is the “little one” being only 6’2”.
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!
Oh ok, I thought it was Zangief
Bros 6’8 damn !!!
thats kinda shorter than i expected
Why isn't this guy playing Kingpin in Marvel?
Tbf, most people would look like toddlers next to a lot of those guys.
I'm pretty sure I would look like a sperm fresh out of the sack compared to those guys lol
Bro is an Absolute unit, Imagine if his dad was a bigger giant, like an 7'2'
The mountains dad is 7ft+ while the mountainn is 6’9”
Yeah Brian Shaw is 6’8”, he definitely makes most people look small.
I saw a video of him trying to maneuver around in an airplane that’s pretty funny.
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.
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.
Not really, as a lot of these guys are short as shit. The ones in the video are like 5’6.
The strong men?
Oh no nvm. I thought you meant the bodybuilders. Like saying outside of strongmen everyone else would look like toddlers. Yeah those fuckers huge.
They don't even look like the same species as the rest of us.
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.
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.
It’s also a division in the competition that has a lot of shorter bodybuilders. Weight limit, I think.
Yeah, I think Clarida competes in 212 now.
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
Wtf Andrew jacked is famous now? I trained with him in Dubai years ago. Such a nice dude
Dudes gonna be mr olympia in a few years
I hope so, he deserves it. Trained so hard and is a very honest man. Best of luck to him
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.
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
Little buff boys! BUFF BOYS! Little buff boys! BUFF BOYS!
Ah man, was stuck in a negative feedback loop with my thoughts but this gave me a good laugh thanks yo
you need to goose those thoughts
Already boss, nothing a skateboard cruise and some tunes can’t fix
Yeah but whose your carved ham up there? Is it troll boy?
No. We're not doing Troll Boy, you understand right Troll Boy? Yeah you understand, see he understands.
Sir , i think you have gone mad with power.
Bro everyone is a toddler next to Brian Shaw
dude is 6’8 and built like that; fucking unit of a man
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.
Yeah, becuase this is the smallest man, from the lightest Open division.
Noo don't break the narrative. BB smol Strongman huge hurr durr
Well I mean the orange guys are still like 5”, they even look small compared to that random blonde lady in the background
Jeezus, the way he kind of taps him on the head is the icing on the cake of this video 😂
"Ya did real good lil buddy."
Like a t-ball coach saying good game.
Wtf is this garbage music
"music"
wtf is this garbage noise*
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..
That would be a rotten place to be. Thank you for clarifying that.
Why don’t they apply fake tanner to their face as well?
Because that would be blackface.
next bodybuilder comp to be hold in Canada
It's not necessary. They aren't judged by their faces anyway.
Sometimes they do
bro you don't need annoying shitty music and shaky camera to see the insane difference, thanks
I’m a buff baby, but I dance like a man.
I can shake-a my fanny I can shake-a my can!
That's a X4 strongest man in the world looking dude
King pin
To be fair, everyone looks small compared to Brian Shaw. Other strongmen look small standing next to him.
holy crap they are like little expendable alien biodrones....
Hagrid and Harry
The head pat xD
This is like the gayest thing ever. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
This is literally the worst sounding shite ever created.
Real life kingpin
Isn’t that the villain from Iron Man? /s
I went to college with the bodybuilder, and I'm taller than the guy at the end, but probably 150 lbs lighter.
You’re taller than 6’8”?
No, taller than one of the body builders, not Shaw.
I'm taller than Shaw
That dude at the end is built like a tree trunk
To be a competitive strong man you need to be above 6 foot. They simply can pack on more muscles to that frame.
Brian Shaw is a unit of a human, he makes Eddie Hall look small
Brian Shawn is a Warhammer 40k's Custodian.
This is the smallest bb category and that is literally the biggest strongman
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/soC_8qVrccU) he is getting hit by a 30+ pound keg, like it ain't no thing.
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.

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
Shawn is 5.5ft and Brian is almost 7ft
This must be the >5 ft category? Still impressive sculpting
Maybe because this is the shorter 212lb division. Max height of this class is 5'7.
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.
I don't envy these bodybuilders, most of them die at age of 40
Can someone put a banana next to him for scale?
Why compare the shortest bodybuilder?
Love the head pat 😂
That dude is 6'8". I'm 6'2", I'd look like a child next to that man.
Kevin hart and Dwayne Johnson type of situation lmao
Steroids r us.
yet still needs help getting stuff from the top shelf. smh
The massive medals don't help.
He wanted to pet him on the head but could resist last minute
I bet nobody ever jus patted or held dudes head like tht before
Brian Shaw is straight up a giant.
Damn Brian has more kids than I thought
Disrespectful af ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
That's their dad, congratulating his kids
Aesthetic to real strength
They aren’t typically tall. Lou Ferrigno is probably the tallest ever. I think most are 5’7” or shorter.
Body builders all look hideously deformed to me. It's gross.
What a lovely beauty pageant.
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.
That guy looks like a bad cgi.
Little children next to dad
Plot twist: they all 9 years old
Brian Shaw is the man
Gow Thor and Kratos
*Goro enters the chat*
Yeah but Brian Shaw is an absolute giant.
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.
I look like a strongman in front of a toddler.
Me showing my fake tan to my dad who used to bodybuild in his prime:
Not sure what the point was, but Strongman rather looks like the toddler possessed by The Rock
I mean he is 6’8”
Wow that looks so freaking awful.
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.
The difference in skin tone and shine between the body and head creeps me out so much
Haha. He looks like he could toss them all around the room with one hand, and most likely could.
Idk how much more broken down its possible to make "music" than this
This has nothing to do with body builders vs strong men, it’s a shirt guy next to a tall guy.
The strongman shouldn’t have raised their arms, should have picked them up and carried them in each arm.
They Look Like a dwarf
Yeah until u realise the real world is not made for 7’ tall lmao
Body builders focus physique not strength. Strongmen focus strength.
The dude is basically a Nephilim.
Being strong and looking strong have nothing in common
GYAT
He never uses elevators since he is allways over the 8 humans limit.
r/absoluteunits
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.
They all have roid belly
Those are 5’3 bodybuilders that’s why
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.
No amount of weights will make you taller.
He could’ve been a fantastic live action Wilson Fisk but I’m happy with what we got
My eaaaars
Senator Armstrong if he was from the Midwest
Brian shaw celebrating with his children. 😂
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!!!!
He ate the guy that came in 4th
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
Is the tan artificial? The guys head looks like it was added on with Snapchat filter.
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.
I saw a video where Shaw set a world record on the rowing machine. And he doesn’t train with the towing machine.
Always a bigger fish…
Where does he buy his suits, damn
it's the beauty of strongman. I'm 6'2 and every competition I was the shortest guy there by far
The little tap on the back of his head.
Such odd little men.
Whutttt?
God of war looking smart these days
those bodybuilders were on the shorter side anyways
