My love for weight training and competing just seemed like a perfect fit for strongman. So I decided to give it a try, for fun, really. It’s definitely not for everybody, but if you love working out and being competitive and pushing yourself to the limit, it’s great. It’s fun, for sure. Brian Shaw Read Quote
I don’t even know how much money I’ve spent on all of this stuff… Just in plates and bars alone, it’s literally a ridiculous amount of money I’ve spent on those. And to me it doesn’t matter. It’s money that I’ve gladly spent. Brian Shaw Read Quote
When you are in a competition, and there’s however many men competing alongside you, you do not get to determine when you go to lift… you don’t know how many guys will make it to the next round. You don’t know how long they’re going to take. Brian Shaw Read Quote
I know in my training, especially when I’m building up to a big ‘max,’ I can take as long as I want to be ready for that lift and mentally prepare for it. In the contest, some of that goes out the window. When your name is called and the bar is loaded, you’ve got to go whether you’re ready or not. Brian Shaw Read Quote
I’ve got a clothing sponsor that helps me out with my clothes. It’s called Bulky Boy Clothing, and they pretty much provide me with most of the shirts that I wear. Brian Shaw Read Quote
