EricMilfeld Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 He didn't even need to go into full-on strongman technique mode on the second lift. I bet he could pull an IPF legal 950 single right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephistopholes Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Damn! Haha. That's awesome. What's that like double bodyweight for him? Seriously, I'm asking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Wikipedia lists his height at 6'8" and his weight at 440. That places this at 2.06xBW. Huge man, titanic lifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 In the description of the video he says he was having an off day and that this is a weight that he could smash anytime he wants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah when he walked away from it he looked disappointed... Haha. I can't even imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba29 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Amazing depth for a big man. I suspect atlas stones help that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Top strongman are easily the strongest men on the planet no question. I think if several of the top guys just casually trained for a powerlifting meet they would dominate everyone. I was also impressed at how low he could get at the start I am at least 2 inches shorter and 100lbs+ lighter and I struggle to get into a good starting position. I think he is good for well over mid 900 like others have said. Edited June 24, 2013 by Stephen Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Wow that is big guy but that lift is HUGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 When the WSM was at Wingate a couple of years ago I got to get pretty close to several of these guys during lunch. I've been around a lot of really big men in my life, but I've never seen a mountain of a man like Shaw. I felt like an elementary school-aged kid.
