    Most enjoyable conversation yet i think. Wasnt a fan of bobby before this as he always seems like a standoffish kinda guy but after hearing his story and the banter back and forth on here and in the gym videos im definitely a fan of his now.

    Love this!!! Brian, don't be afraid to express your true opinion on things bro...people will either love or hate you...who cares, you'll do well either way bro. The more real your podcasts are, the more polarizing they will be!!

    BROOOO!!! I started following Thompson religiously after I saw him do I think the Arnold as an amateur. On the pro circuit. Dude looked like a swole dude running a game of dungeons and dragons. NOW HE HAS A SHIRT I ALSO HAVE!!! My first comp was at Massenomics in South Dakota. And that was the shirt they gave us haha.

    I think we should remember Big Z did 4 reps on the 205kg Austrian Oak which is a wooden log and said he did 6 reps at 205kg on a wooden log in training. Even forgetting the training lift it's safe to say he could've matched his max lift on a wooden log at his very best before he got injured.

    Nice to hear more from Bobby Thompson. I agree that world records might be a little overhyped lately. I would prefer that athletes focus mainly on contest performance and if world records fall within that show, it's just a nice bonus.

    Always enjoy these podcasts. Would be very interested to hear from a competitor that wasn't naturally gifted. The story is always that they were good at sports as a kid, always big, deadlifted 300kg the first time they entered a gym etc. Just wondered if there was anyone in the open weight class who didn't have that or is it basically just a prerequisite?

      Every pro Strongman is pure talent and raw ability. Not to say they weren't competitive or had a low work ethic, but as soon as you're able to get a pro card, you've already proven that you're built different. There are plenty of amateur Strongman that are also gifted but don't have the drive or time to push that envelope. Everybody that has a name on Shaw's podcast is gifted and talented to the enth degree. No average Joe is getting in here.
