2:43
UH with a lot of the stuff going on, Brian Shaw's already announced next
2:47
year's Strongest Man on Earth. The Shaw Classic twenty twenty four August sixteen to
2:53
the eighteenth Man talk about getting an opportunity to try to get those tickets as
2:58
early as possible is really going to help out a lot of people because,
3:00
like I said, they damn you're sold out, right, Yeah, no,
3:04
it did lot. So yeah, you're gonna want to do that because
3:07
companies come in and they buy a box of tickets. So if you saw
3:09
open seating, that's there was no open seating. It's sold out. So
3:15
that's it's pretty cool. Yeah, get them quick exactly, because you got
3:20
to remember you're paying for the you're paying for crazy ass show World, the
3:23
Strongest Man on Earth, but you're also getting expo the other crazy things going
3:29
on. Meeting the expo is really amazing. I mean all the vendors pretty
3:32
much sold out at the expo, so it was a very successful expo as
3:36
well. And it was neat. I mean a lot of us got to
3:38
go up and talk for an hour and just you know, give us a
3:42
seminar talk, question and answer that type of thing. So it was a
3:46
really really neat opportunity for people to go and see us actually talk live and
3:52
and take questions from anyone and everyone. So it was awesome. And what's
3:55
great about it is that you actually is getting an opportunity to really plan get
4:00
there, where to stay, try to book everything is in advance as possible,
4:04
because guess what, there's a lot of people who want to go to
4:06
this event. But it's always hard when you got to wait, you know,
4:10
like almost six months before an event is even announced to be like okay,
4:14
I gotta hurry and get everything. Yeah, it was crazy. They
4:16
had to use three different hotels this time. Yeah, he's very very very
4:21
successful. I mean the show I mean, he's brought the showmanship back.
4:25
He's brought the back, the amazing stuff where you're lifting something that just doesn't
4:30
look real back into it, and it's it's pretty amazing. The innovativeness that
4:35
Brian has on coming up with the events with the guys from Red Iron,
4:41
you know, it's pretty amazing what they're what they're doing out there. I
4:44
Mean, the fingle fi is absolutely unreal because now you can flip the finger
4:47
up and then just put the matt down and flip it back down. It
4:50
doesn't have to go all the way over. Yeah, you know anymore.
4:55
So now no more forklifts, no more you know, paying the tail taking
5:00
ten minutes to set up each time each run we go not just up stop
5:03
and then just push it. Then just one guy flips the thing and just
5:06
pushes it over. So it's much easy, easier said. And you know,
5:11
with that being said, strongest Man on Earth already being announced for next
5:14
year, we have the twenty four three people with that title because that came
5:18
out of for Tissimus. Okay, so Derek pounds songs and say that's it,
5:28
and now there's gonna be a lot more strong man having the ability to
5:30
get that title. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We almost had a twofer
5:36
where it was about to be Mitchell Hooper real strongest Man and the strongest man
5:43
on Earth because it was loose. It was no, it was very close.
5:46
It was a good contest. It was a really good show. Nobody
5:50
took it easy. Everybody, Yeah, everyone. Well that's the thing though,
5:55
too is like Brian's show is known for a fucking ridiculous static strength.
6:00
You know, got it's gonna be heavy, gonna be heavy, everybody knows.
6:03
But with World's Strongest Man twenty twenty four coming up, we've already got
6:08
a few people qualified, we do and with and the people that are qualified,
6:13
you know, we talked about this on the last episode, and I'm
6:15
gonna the list Mitchell Hooper, Tom Stoltman, Cocof, Evan, Gavin,
6:20
and Shane. And we know Evan, Gavin, and Shane earned their chances
6:25
to get into the World's Strongest Man, but we got Mitchell Hooper, who's
6:29
also you know, he's the returning Champa and Novikoff and you know you did
6:34
mention, you know, like are they going to do these special ones here
6:39
for for some of these champs, for the returning champions and stuff like that,
6:42
And indeed it is a thing. So that's pretty cool. Oh yeah,
6:46
I like that they answered those questions on how to qualify, and then
6:50
the rest are like international invites with the top three year automatic at the Giant
6:56
Slave Show. So that's all, you know, And we're still waiting on
7:00
the announcement of when the show will be and also to like, you know,
7:04
the the the what's well, we know it's going to be an arena,
7:10
and we know it's going to be an arena because we dropped that specifically.
7:12
You know, I'm saying that was a Best Experience exclusive right there.
7:15
We announced it to the world, But it's like, where will this arena
7:19
be? Where is this real outdoor arena exactly, you know what I'm saying,
7:26
And you know the day time we're waiting on those because once those those
7:29
are announced, man, those things are gonna fucking just be gone, you
7:32
know, yeah real officially, you know, yeah. Yeah. And and
7:39
just like you know, like from last year, like typically World Strongest Man,
7:42
it's you know, like they're not too worried about a passer, not
7:46
to worried about people showing up because it is a show. It is,
7:48
it is recorded for television. But now there are really making it turn towards
7:54
the fans of like all right, these fans are showing up, These fans
7:57
are sitting here cheering, these fans are coming in drows and we need to
8:01
be prepared for that. And that's what I'm definitely waiting to see is like
8:05
the way it will be said up Will there be an expo, Will there
8:07
be a little spot, because like I said, when we were at Myrtle
8:11
Beach last year, they had a little area where you know, they had
8:13
rain, they had airway, there was a couple of little vendors and some
8:18
food trucks and stuff like that, and then plus the merch boofour World Strongest
8:22
Man which thank you know those guys are listening to this podcast, Thank you
8:24
guys for letting me sit down in the shade and taking a little break back
8:28
there with them. You know what I'm saying. It was really appreciated.
8:31
But you know, like I said, it's just I'm waiting to see what
8:35
this venue is going to be like, you know what I'm man, Yeah,
8:37
me too. It's fun and the athletes feel like it. It'll be
8:41
good for them as well. So yeah, it's it's order when you do
8:43
that because you have more control of the ground and the weather and other things.
8:46
So that'll be good exactly. And you know, we're hoping for a
8:50
special invite this year. You know what I'm saying, World Trunks, Man,
8:54
if you guys are listening, we would definitely like to be there and
8:56
be able to run our social media to help you guys promote. I'm throwing
9:00
it out there because you know, we've done it for the last two years
9:03
and I'd like to definitely continue that with a little bit more ease. Yeah
9:05
we're gonna be good. Oh yeah, yeah, we'll be good. And
9:09
you know, continue on World's Strongest Man. We actually have giants lives.
9:16
It is the strongest nation getting ready to come up. I'm just gonna read
9:20
off the list for America because you know it is America versus the UK.
9:24
We have Marteens, grab that coffee, get prepared, looking pretty strong,
9:31
real strong, good stuff, you know what I'm saying. Like I said,
9:33
he's doing it smart. He's taking a rest, he's taking a break,
9:35
and then guess what he's coming back in it. So I'm definitely happy
9:39
to see him back back in the mix. So we got Martens, Evans
9:43
Singleton, the t Rex is gonna be a part of the team, and
9:48
you know he's on fire. The dynamic between Evan and Trey Mitchell, it's
9:54
always hilarious because you put those two guys in a room and goddamn they do
9:58
not back off of each other, and it's just hilarious. It's fun.
10:01
It's ancer those two guys need to have their own show. Well, if
10:05
they were smart, they would well, I mean, Martin's gonna be there,
10:09
so Romark would be there. So I'm sure Romark will get all that
10:15
you know on Martin's and stuff, so that would be really smart. That's
10:18
it, you know. And then which Trey Mitchell, we have Kevin hilarious.
10:22
That'll be hilarious. And Kevin. Kevin's also a funny Dude's he's choiir
10:28
side, but when he cuts loose, he's actually he's super funny. Yeah
10:33
he is, so Yeah, we got a chance to hang out with him
10:37
in Myrtle Beach a few times, and yeah, he's definitely definitely got a
10:41
funny side. And then with Kevin Farriss, we have Spencer Remick. I
10:48
actually got talked to Spencer a little bit, you know, not a whole
10:50
lot, but you know, he seems like a pretty down to earth guy.
10:52
Yeah, when we were down at their Myrtle Beach, him and his
10:56
wife and his kid were actually walking up the pier and no one noticed him.
11:00
So I was like, maybe I hope I didn't draw too much attention
11:01
to him. I when I was talking, It's okay. They got to
11:05
get this to it, that's it. But we have Gabby Dixon, who's
11:09
gonna be pulling up for the women. We have Innaz. I'm sorry if
11:15
I completely chop your name. I do not mean to. I'm not that
11:18
good of a reader. But it's Carlisco. And then we have a Nadia
11:24
Stour. Both of them are unbelievable. They're really good. And then we
11:28
got Victoria Long pulling up at the end there on the list. She is
11:35
unbelievably strong. There we go say she is probably one of the most dominant
11:41
women, strong women that I have ever seen compete. I mean already here,
11:48
I think the Shaw Classic last year, not this year, but last
11:50
year gave up one point. Yeah, one point, not just one point
11:58
out of all the five of them. That's one point. Well, it's
12:01
definitely gonna be definitely worry in here. She's fun to watch, just an
12:05
absolute animal and in a great person too. She's fun to talk to it
12:11
as well. And then pulling up the UK, we have your captain Eddie
12:16
the Beast Hall, who was just recently seen on YouTube TV for Expendables four.
12:24
Yeah, watch stallone. You know what I'm saying, How did stallone
12:31
get the man over the shoulder? What's that? Is that? How stallone
12:35
get him over the shoulder? Reality? He probably jumped is strong dude,
12:43
but he's still three seventy three eighty exactly, Yeah, it ain't he Let's
12:50
just say Eddie did really well in his acting. You know what I'm saying.
12:54
I thought it was pretty good. I have had so many people calling
12:56
me, but did you see Eddie Hall in the in the trade? I
13:00
didn't even realize it was even in the movie or like there was even talks
13:03
of it, you know what I no, no, I did we knew
13:05
about it. I mean him and Stamen had a nan cring for each other
13:09
for a while, so that was that was pretty cool. There we go,
13:13
yeah yeah, so you just oh yeah, and then good for Eddie
13:16
cheers, you know what I'm saying. And uh, with Eddie Hall being
13:22
oh yeah, with Eddie Hall being the champ or being the h the actual
13:26
captain, we have Tom Stoltman right behind him. Would you you can't add
13:33
a better strongman, you know what I'm saying, A two time winner World
13:37
Strongest Man. Then you have his brother Luke. He likes his spicy so
13:41
he's on the team. So you got two really good overhead pressors going against
13:46
Trey and Evan, which are two really good overhead pressers. Martin's good overhead
13:50
pressers. There's some good overhead pressors there. Oh yeah. And then we
13:54
got a retired from World's Strongest Man but still still in the game, Mark
14:01
Felix. So they'll have either a Hercules holder, that giant wreck and ball.
14:07
I'm sure that's it. We got Mark Mark, Mark's still freaking strong.
14:15
Don't count Markard or anything coming in. Nice, Sorry, we do
14:20
this in real life situations. Yeah, exactly, we're both sitting in our
14:24
living rooms. Enjoy. We have Gavin Bolton who's going to be pulling in.
14:28
He just got qualified. We just talked about it in a We're strongest
14:31

14:35

14:41
work, so I have so yeah, oh yeah. We have a Lucy
14:48

14:54
There we go, y have done more also very strong, very experienced.
15:01
She knows she knows how manipulate the events as well. So that'll be
15:05
that'll be good. That's good. You have Rebecca Roberts who's going to be
15:11
joining the team. And you have Andrea Thomas too, and she's the heck
15:16
of a dead lifter too, so exactly between her and Lucy, and this
15:20
is gonna be a fun show. Oh yeah, it's definitely gonna be a
15:22
fun show. There's also it's also a nice stream for those who want to
15:26
watch. I'll put the link in the notes just you guys can pre purchase
15:28
all that good stuff. But yeah, but you know there's it's a strong
15:33
man season. It's getting ready to hit harder because guess what is right around
15:37
the corner. Well, one of the crazy things that people need to remember
15:41
if the more of those online things that you buy ahead of time to watch
15:46
it the live streams. The more you do that ahead of time, the
15:48
more they're gonna be able to earlier increase prize money and have a budget to
15:54
work with. It's kind of like your way of supporting it all the way
15:58
around. It is really good for the sport if you get into those things
16:03
early, it really is. It helps the promoters out a lot. On
16:07
the backside of this, I learned a lot about it now. Oh yeah,
16:11
well it gets what everyone else knows now, because that's the thing too,
16:15
is like a lot of people always want to be able to support in
16:17
their own Now here's a little history for you live stream contests. Who's the
16:22
first person to stream those? Was it Brian Me? What do you?
16:26
Some cities those live stream on the Miranda Muscle site. And we had to
16:32
buy a new server because we blew up the server. It couldn't handle it.
16:36
That's crazy. We had to fix the server back in the day.
16:38
And I mean, you're you're talking that we're horrible to just two cameras set
16:42
up. But we live stream. We love it. Back then, man,
16:47
we couldn't figure out how to put a monetary thing on that. So
16:52
yeah, it was stages of it. I think twenty ten live stream and
16:56
that that was AOL days kind So it was it was neat. It was.
17:03
It was a thing to get that mini bowl because we had well over
17:08
I want to say, like one hundred and fifty two hundred thousand people watching.
17:12
Man, that's crazy, and you always were the first ones to actually
17:15
implement that. Man, talk about like way ahead of your time, Nick,
17:19
Well, I know. The forum and a shame. We just got
17:22
busy with our lives and things that were going on. But Maranda Muscle back
17:27
in the day used to get like five million hits a month. May so
17:33
a lot. Yeah, but life and moderation, moderators and just stuff to
17:40
run the forum. It just we just kind of full time job. When
17:42
you got to get someone to be on top of the moderate you know,
17:47
speaking of live streams and stuff like that. Nick just recently made it on
17:52
ESPN. I wish it's literally he was on their TikTok showing them him doing
17:57
the press machine. It was Instagram too, Yeah what and I wish I
18:03
wish he wagged in it many Yeah, that's okay, that's okay, ESPN,
18:08
it's okay, you know what I'm mean. But he didn't make the
18:11
main page of ESPN. Yeah, it was pretty pretty pretty cool. Was
18:15
the middle of the night. I was like text Nick, I was like,
18:18
n did you see this? Yeah, they actually did the main page
18:22
with the Instagram the day of the shot classic. Yeah it started, so
18:26
it was and that was the experimental part where I was testing it so exactly
18:32
still in shop. Yeah, so it was pretty pretty cool. And I'm
18:37
really, I mean, other than Brian turning his pack on that last one,
18:41
I think the event went unbelievably good. I mean, went went smooth.
18:45
Nope, no time, Brian's gonna be fine. Oh yeah, he'll
18:48
be back to normally. Time. Brian's the king of recovery, you know
18:52
what I'm saying. He's like, he's constantly making sure he's taking care of
18:56
his body and you know that. That's a lot of things a lot of
18:59
strongman haven't done in the past. Word, it's like I need to concentrate
19:03
on not just training, but recovery. Recovery. And I tell you what,
19:06
he's really changed the game as far as that goes. Well, he's
19:10
changed the game in so many ways, so many ways. But that one
19:14
with athletes like being able to learn from him how to take care of themselves
19:18
besides just go to the gym and lift stuff and leave yep is pretty.
19:22
It's a pretty I mean, he's left a great impact all the way around.
19:26
I mean he really has. He's a great man, he's a good
19:29
dad. He's just you couldn't ask a nicer guy, and successful and just
19:36
everything else. The man is driven. But you learn them learn how to
19:41
take care of your body and stuff like that. I mean, it's pretty
19:45
amazing to where he's held together for that many World Strongest Man finals. I
19:49
don't I don't see any soon getting to that. And the testament is gonna
19:55
be the true thing of time. I mean, people can make it to
19:56
him, but they're gonna last that long. Exactly, keep the body to
20:02
get it along and then speaking and keep your body to get it along.
20:06
You we have you know, we have competition this weekend. Unfortunately, yeah,
20:12
unfortunately you're not gonna beating. But the thing is is Justin is just
20:18
the training partner is exactly, So I'll be out coaching him and stuff like
20:22
that, so that'll be fun. I feel pretty good. I mean,
20:26
my squats kind of fixed a little issue that was going on there because my
20:30
hip was not having fun and I was going down kind of crooked, and
20:33
I was like, I gotta fix that. Gave me the opportunity to actually
20:37
work on and fix some of the deadlift stuff because I'm still kind of still
20:42
kind of across the floor and it's just the muscle and balance. So I'm
20:48
in the process of fixing that now. And I don't fix it by trying
20:52
to get the one side stronger than the other. I train the side that
20:57
is, I'm trying to recover as hard as I possibly can, and then
21:02
I train the other side the same and for everyone to need you know,
21:06
just a recap. Had surgery, honest stomach beginning of this year exactly,
21:11
so like the amount of recovery exactly. So they took me kidding out.
21:17
So yeah, and they took it out through the front, so they went
21:19
through my abdomen wall with about a five inch hole. Yeah, plus six
21:26
other small ones, but that that really doesn't affect you too much. But
21:29
the big one, it's healed, it's strong. I feel good about it.
21:33
I'm getting a lot of confidence in it, so I'm not really afraid
21:37
to pull hard from the ground. But now the muscle and balance is twisting
21:40
me a little bit. So again, I'm gonna train the side as hard
21:44
as I can. I'm gonna train the other side exactly the same with the
21:48
same way, because that'll eventually even them out, and as the right side
21:53
keeps get wronger, it'll stay even and I'll it'll that'll naturally eliminate the twitter.
21:59
Yeah, so I just have to do that, and then I'm starting
22:02
to pull like straight like a deadlift. A little bit more stuff like that
22:04
to develop, because that that spot where I'm pulling on stiff like a deadlist
22:10
is the weak link. When I'm pulling, I can pull pop it right
22:15
off the floor and at the top of the lockout, it's not too bad,
22:18
but right where I need to kick in the hamstrings and lower back to
22:22
like really pull on it. Is where I'm experiencing the weakness, which when
22:26
I pull a stiff like a deadlift, it hits it perfectly. So I'm
22:30
starting to pull some more stiff like a deadlifts, and I'm going to do
22:33
a lot of work, a lot of light work off the floor. I'll
22:37
go up fairly heavy and then I'll drop down and just do a boatload of
22:42
technique singles at a much at it like a fee to sixty five percentile range
22:51
and just work, you know, pulling straight and very being very disciplined with
22:56
the position, and that'll fix it in time. I just have to be
23:00
patient, which is so, but it'll get gonna pull again. I mean
23:07
I just saw Andy Bolton pulled three hundred and fifty kilos this weekend, which
23:11
is awesome, congratulations, But I don't know what that thing he's wearing is.
23:15
The all time world record was set without one of those things. The
23:19
suit. That's what it is. I know was pulled raw, not in
23:25
a suit. So if you're going to break the record, break the record,
23:27
don't put a suit on and break the record. Break it, break
23:30
it, break the record as is, or if you're just trying to have
23:34
the highest deadlift of all time. I can throw in a suit and you
23:38
know we do that too, So break the record. I broke it raw,
23:42
break it, break it raw. You got this, that's it raw
23:45
dog. Yeah. Oh, you know it's something I forgot to bring up
23:51
earlier in the game. But actually think you're going to be in California in
23:53
December. I am yeah. And for those who are listening, if you
23:59
guys want to come up here, Nick's gonna actually be doing a seminar all
24:03
here in Sacramento, and I want to make sure that we start putting it
24:06
out there because guess what, he gives everyone an opportunity to get themselves set
24:10
up. It is September, and you're gonna be here in December, and
24:14
so you know, very hands on too, very hands on. So like
24:18
it's limited spots. I'll put the link in the notes for who you need
24:22
to reach out to Jessee, you guys, because like I said, these
24:26
are the things you know, like Nick wants to help people and show them,
24:30
like you know, their technique or like if the heat can point something
24:33
out that that needs to be out, or like just techniques that need to
24:37
be learned or shown that people are just forgetting about guess what, Nick's right
24:41
there to help. Yep. So it's gonna be it's gonna be really neat.
24:45
I mean it's gonna be hands on with the yolk, hands on with
24:47
the stones, and hands on with the dead left. And then I'll also
24:49
be going over exercises that will help those as well. So it's not just
24:56
here's how to do the yoke. It's good, but here's how to do
24:57
the yolk, and here's what you want to do to train and get stronger
25:00
at the yoke. Here's the stones, and here's the things you can do.
25:04
Here's the couple different ways you can lift the stone off the ground,
25:07
by the way, because it's not always just get all the way down underneath
25:10
it. Some people have back problems or hit mobility issues and can't get down,
25:15
and I've kind of figured out how to do that without getting at the
25:18
kernel, so I don't mind teaching people that. And then same with the
25:22
deadlift. Here's here's kind of like Terek stuff like that, but here's the
25:26
things that will also help you build that in these certain areas where your weaknesses
25:30
are. So I'll be covering a lot of stuff. Oh yeah, then
25:34
that's exactly the great part about this is like the like I said it,
25:38
you know, sometimes you know, just a little, just a little,
25:41
a little movement at least can drastically change people's lift. And that's the great
25:45
thing about the Yep, no, man, that's at the end of the
25:49
day. More we can help people just all the way around and get people
25:52
to train and be more physically fit and healthy in the end at the end
25:57
of the day, and is being sedentary and doing nothing, even even with
26:03
limitations and disabilities and stuff like that. There go just be the best you
26:10
at the end of the day, be the best you you can be.
26:12
And that's all anybody could ask for anyone. We're not all. My genetics
26:17
are different from your genetics, is different from someone else's, is different from
26:19
Brian's. I can never be Brian Shaw, but I can be the best
26:22
Nick best I can be, and that's all I've ever tried to do.
26:26
So with that being said, Nick, actually let these people know those magic
26:30
words and then we'll get on out of here. Well. Thanks. If
26:33
you like this, like, share and subscribe, and please share the heck
26:37
out of it. The more people that see it, the better. And
26:38
I appreciate all your help and as always, train hard, train smart,
26:41
and be the best you can be. Thanks, you're listening to the best.
27:06
Experience would make best
