Clay Edgin Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Man, you couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day today. Mid 50's to 60's, skies clear as a whistle, and we were able to get 18 competitors through 5 events in about 3.5 hours. Nobody got hurt, nothing broke (except for a 2x4 on the loading platform), and I think everyone had a good time. Here are some quick results: Women: 1st Shannon Moran 2nd Teale Adelmann 3rd Jeniffer Littleton Masters: 1st Eddie Bustillos 2nd Ed Kisner LW Men: 1st Warren Wylupski 2nd Charles Valencia MW Men: 1st Scott Porter (MachineAZ) 2nd Rich Kahle 3rd Nick Buderus 4th Chris Anderson 5th Travis Clary 6th Brad Schofield 7th Ryan Klein HW Men: 1st Brian Shaw 2nd Clay Edgin 3rd Nick Detman 4th Rob Schubert Grip contest results: 1st Clay Edgin 2nd Brian Shaw 3rd Ryan Klein 4th Shawn Littleton 5th Brad Schofield 6th - tie Scott Porter and Chan Robertson Guys, Brian is the real deal. 6'8", 315 lean pounds. Deadlifted the Inch right and left EASILY multiple times upon request. 9" hands. He closed my #3, missed a hard Elite by 1/16", two hand pinched 200 with lots of gas in the tank, one hand pinched 95lbs without chalk or warmup, pulled 180 on the equalizer handle, and is just one of those guys who is freaky strong all around. He also ran with 300lbs per hand on 2" handles for 100ft in 14 seconds. My personal highlights include: winning the stones event, missing my SE (like a solid #4) by 1/16", two hand pinch 190 (PR), unseasoned LGC vbar lift of 350 with room to spare, and a one hand deadlift of 650 (plus 22lbs for implement) that I cleared by more than enough lift but I accidentally touched it with my non-lifting hand so I didn't count it. Also made it 100ft with 300lbs per hand on 2" handles in 16 seconds, a PR. Two flips on the 1130lb tire too, but one didn't count because it was falling over when time expired. Brian got all three flips! It was great to meet Ryan too. That is a strong dude. I was stunned when he said his opening vbar lift was 300! Unlike a lot of people who are just doing this and are not serious, Ryan's able to make very good strategic decisions about his lifts in contests and that will help him quite a bit in the future.

Clay Edgin Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 George, there won't be a DVD; I just have some video footage that my wife took of Jeniffer and I competing in the strongman comp - no grip pics or videos though. Full strongman results were emailed to Dione and full grip results were emailed to Bob Lipinski who will put them on his site soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8ive Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Clay did a great job of organizing and running the events. Like he said earlier it was a fast competition. Implements were set up and ready for the next competitor immediatley. And it was a great day to compete, the cold weather stayed away throughout the contest.

Hubgeezer Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 How about this? A "Bump" after almost 6 years! Why? Check it out, this was the first time I think anyone ever heard of Brian Shaw. And now, he is the World's Strongest Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 LOL, I didn't look at the date and was pumped to see Clay Edgin and Ryan Klein competing again. Then I was wondering why Clay Edgin felt the need to tell people that Brian Shaw was the real deal...and then i saw the date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I was wondering why Clay Edgin felt the need to tell people that Brian Shaw was the real deal...and then i saw the date Ryan Klein...wonder what happened to him. He had a classic line years ago. He was such a nice mild-mannered guy, and then he made some crack when someone complained about the One Inch Vertical Bar, about "pussies" that many on the forum were able to milk for laughs for about a year But this thread was the first "Brian Shaw" sighting I ever had, and his WSM win triggered my digging it up. Big congratulations to him for coming a long way since 2005! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Savage Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Clay actually is competing again but hadn't seen this before. Interesting results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
