The Strongest Man in the World - Brian Shaw Profile

[Eman]

I came across a very good article from a few years back profiling Brian Shaw done by The New Yorker. He's won the WSM competition multiple times and has many other wins at various competitions.

Pretty crazy stats including :

• Squat – 900 lb (410 kg)
• Bench press – 640 lb (290 kg)
• Deadlift – 925 lb (420 kg) without straps
• Strongman Deadlift (with straps) – 985 lb (448 kg)
• Hummer Tire Strongman Deadlift (with straps) – 1,140 lb (517 kg) [10]
• Log Lift - 441 lb (200 kg)

It is a lengthy article but it's a good read-
