“Do not try this at home”
Me: *looks at my 2700lbs wooden carousel*
Me: :(
^
^^
^^^
^^^^
VapourGFX ^^^^^
Eddie and Robert: *snaps spines*
Brian: Oh, wow that's heavy.
Noah W. Lewis LMAO THIS KILLED ME
What’s wild is that Robert actually faked it, he didn’t want to do it, I was there.
@@metafour8510 I was there too
Jackson Pittson yea same I was the carousel
@@mendomaniac6733 me too i lifted it aswell
“Do not try this at home” yes because we all have a carousel at home
And you also need friends
LOL!! you don't??
Literally the first thing that came to mind, nice one
and have the strength to lift 2400 lbs
And beacause we all are strongmen.
"we got the balance right, its safe" homie its never safe to lift 2800 pounds with your hips
pirkkala hahahaha bruhh you got me 😂😂😂
I laughed at this lol
Unless you're Hulk.
Yeah this is insane.. I can’t believe someone even accomplished this.
@WILTACULER i don't think the balance mattered personally.
I never thought I'd see Eddie and Brian do mathematics.
Markus Junnikkala all the GCSEs were All As to Bs don’t get it twisted he’s a very smart man
These guys aren't meatheads. Brian has a degree and Eddie was a heavy equipment mechanic for years. You can't be a dummy for either.
Pretty sure Brians degree is in economics or some form of mathematics. He only looks dumb.. and fat.
Markus Junnikkala Eddie can’t math
This scene was "calculate"-ed... ✌😀😂✌ |🇺🇸
Imagine if this would have retired 4 of the best strongman
Imagine if this would have retired 3 of the best strongman. Eddie already is m8.
Do you even watch people lift, bro?
Doyle 😂😂😂🤣🤣
s f lmao
@@DonGregers Well, imagine if this would have retired 2 of the best strongman then. Robert is not really on the same league as the others.
Brian is literally one of the only people who can call someone weak😂
Ya and literally am even intimate looking at him on screen... He can rip people body .
I think there’s only one person that can call Brian weak tho😏
shakALOHAwaii who is that lol
Kaarle Mäkinen Probably Eddie he is definitely up there with Brian
Kaarle Mäkinen Eddie Hall😎
Brian: two people just got hurt
Also Brian: does it anyway
I laughed so hard when he did it i was like why tf would risk that after you saw what happend to the others😅
@@FRElHEIT Because he know he can do it. He know he big so why dont give it a try since he can deadlift and benches over 400lbs or even more
Brian says, "Its not my fault you're small and weak."
He has been hanging around Eddie Hall too much.
Is not his fault, you´re too small and weak
What a great quote 😂
But in the end Nick won by far ahh
Rune De Clercq only because others weren’t dumb enough to risk injury at a very stupidly high risk exercise
@@richardcopersroommate8928 i knowww but I mean Nick is 50 years old but he is amazing at this I was just pointing it out
Good on Eddie for calling that out. It would would be worse knowing it was an incomplete lift after the fact
especially the family being there, and not being able to question the lift without looking like they were overprotecting their ancesctors legacy.
eddie's the kind of guy who goes around the gym telling people they arent squatting low enough and not ashamed to call people out
GO BACK AND LOOK AT EDDIES LIFT ONE OF THE LEGS WAS STILL ON THE GROUND FOR HIS LIFT
@@joshcole741 If no one told him there's not much he can do about it.
expect he didnt lift it himself if you rewatch his lift
“I’m not admitting to being wrong.” Lmao
Id say the same thing 🤣
History Channel: "Don't try this at home."
Me: "I don't even have 11 friends to try this with..."
F
F in the chat
just go to the mall.. I'm pretty sure I saw 11 people there last week
I feel you buddy I don't even have 5
F
@@still34u now there's no one in malls. F
Crazy how strength works, smallest oldest guy out of the 4 does the most weight twice and doesn’t get injured
He’s more used to that kind of lift, he is the one with the world record and if you aren’t going for the world record you don’t practice that lift there is a reason he won and the other guys struggled
He lately trains more powerlifting cause there's less chance at injury. Brian possibly could do it but he's in competitive season he can't risk it.
Least large
Brian can do it, but hes not gonna risk it.
@@chrism45 I would say Eddie could probably break the record. He is after all the record holder for the deadlift.
“They always count me out.”
*2-4 minutes before hand*
“If there’s anybody that can do it, it’s you.”
LongLööps Lad if u watch other episode they always lowkey bully him since he’s old and smaller than they are ,but what i think is deep down their big heart is he got their respect just don’t wanna say it outloud and admit.
imagine seeing a giant among the strongest men in the world wearing pink converse
sugam kuwar they are so cute
I've haven't seen him successfully lift anything yet
@@spicysnowman8886 I'd love to see you do better than him
I love it
Probbaly because those shoes are sooo cute
Why is no one talking about how Nick stared down the beast after the second lift to deliver a statement?
Eddie is just jealous of everything
@@nischaychadha1869 lmao even tho he's the second strongest there
@@nischaychadha1869 no he's challenging nick to do his best, as all the strongmen do to eachother. Without competition records would never need to be broken nothing new would ever be done
6:31(front left)
@@TheFbfreak67 you dont kniw anything about him..you dont live near him..know him. kids
My hip flexors hurt watching this. Salute to Nick.
It's not the hip flexors it's the lower back muscles and some leg muscles but the hip flexors are not involved because they flex they don't extend
I was thinking more of the gluteus maximus myself. They are practically extending their hips. So gluteus maximus and some quads.
@@jordanreynolds3524 yeah,and also lower back muscles
@@joshpalao6466 They still get squeezed in every heavy squat or deadlift
@@TimmyTurner421 how?
With hip thrusting strength like that, I feel bad for nick’s wife 😳
and other women feel jealous...
Matt Ramirez just imagine what will happen lol i
That's literally a ton behind a sing thrust lmao
Must be a robust girl, it would be like using a ramset on a finishing nail otherwise.
😂😂
"You all need to eat more" says the 6 foot 9, 400 pound monster of a human being that consumes well over 10,000 calories a day to the normies.
Yes. That's the humor of it.
450 lbs
Especially because the average Weight of the 4 was 160 Pounds
Which is pretty average id say
*Gets their entire extended family lifted by a single very strong person
*Unenthusiastic clapping
I’d like to talk to the ten people who disliked this video and find out what it takes to impress them!
Feminists dude. There's nothing a man can do to impress them.
Pyrolysis hahahahaha
intelligence!
Sure got that right brother ,my hat is off to you guys ,my back is destroyed due to heavy lifting in construction
Eddie doing the carousel lift with the strap tied to his bollocks would impress me
"It's not my fault that you're small and weak"
Me: i know...
Underrated comment lmao
Nick: "I broke my L4 in two spots and my L5 in one."
Doctor: "Nick, don't go to those three spots, again!"
Doctor: "Oh, and you're 50 years old."
Nick best: *lifts the biggest weight ever moved by a person*
Eddie: That one didn't leave the ground.
Nick: It will this time.
"It's not my fault that you're small and weak"
Eddie is starting to be an influence on Shaw, I see.
when did he say that?
@@centralprocessingunit2564
At 1:22.
He said it to Nick not Eddie
Nick only attempted it because of the TV show. You can tell he did not wanna do that 100%
I think he saw it as an opportunity to cash in on a last major feat. Tons of publicity, he's 50 years old so he doesn't have many record-breaking years left in him, it was the perfect occasion to go ALL out
He wouldn’t have done it if he didn’t want to. He has nothing to prove, he’s one of the greatest strongman.
thats like saying a guy only broke a strict curl record to feel cool at the meet. Like who cares about the purity of a record breaker's intentions like wtf
You clearly never competed at anything. Tv has nothing to do with it. He knew he had that lift and wasnt gona leave it unfinished
Kevin Ramirez you were literally assuming is that what you think or is that what everyone thinks?
History: Don't try this at home
Me: Look at carousel with 11 persons on it in my backyard
Me: :(
The viking boat joke was the better one
persons
xD
*people*
Persons
5:55 *"It's a ton of weight"* yeah quite literally
Nick Best......tha strongest hip lift in recorded history.......AWESOME
Autistic Plane the happiest wife in human history.... Is whoever Nick is with. 2000 pound thrusts.
@@seanschmidt4298 Gonna break her hip with that for sure lol.
Me: *lifts 10 pounds* YESSSS
Them: let’s try 2791 pounds
1 Ton is at least 2150 pounds or more
FOX 455m 1 ton is 2,000 pounds.
@@jadenrush7276 You are joking right? It's around 2.200 pounds, a big difference
@@c0ldm-ampupatcucatade4ori 1 ton is exactly 2000lbs
@@-Me_ 1 kg is 2.2 lb, I am pretty sure
Honestly Nick never ceases to amaze me with his persistence and drive to prove his age doesn’t count him out
Nick: I have the world record in the hip lift
Brian: you’re weak
7:08 most Eddie response ever lol. Respect to him all the same and all the strongmen
Me: Finally opens Pickle Jar after 30 mins.
HISTORY:
My dad met Paul Anderson at one point. They were at a fundraising event for a disaster relief effort (I think a hurricane) that had occurred in Georgia. My dad had nothing but good things to say about him. Anderson was a true man of class and was involved in many things to help his community and people of Georgia who were in need.
At 9:44 when nick turns round to eddie and shouts 'You Good!!' 🤣🤣
Haha, Eddie, ‘I don’t wanna spoil anyone’s fun, but that one didn’t leave the ground. 🤷🏼♂️’
Mad respect for that dude being honest. Thats a true friend and man right there
Why does the oldest one have the best back 😂😂
Lool 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Nick's a beast in his own right
Love how they just invite the family over to show how they break big Pauls records xD
using the family to do it.
Definition of Savage.
I love how the guy says you can basically become paralyzed from doing this lift wrong.
2:11 the bacteria waiting for the 5 second rule like
Only Brian Shaw could get away with calling someone like Nick Best "small and weak" and have it actually be sort of true.
Yoinkus Mcgee Yup. That's my point.
Tyler Vincent 6,9 420 lbs nice
@@louism.3435 nice
I work there at the Paul Anderson Youth Home. I'm the dude in the background with the gray shirt, black sleeves, green hat, and mutton chops. Not that anyone cares. Lol
we don't...
You're right, we don't
I care
welp i would've if you were the one lifting the weights but hey at least you get to share an epic screen time with the strongest of the world.... so i guess you should really keep it to yourself and cherish it as a personal memory
Y'all look the same, I can't distinguish anyone in the background,
You may be the oldest man of the crew ,however never ever under estimate the sheer power and strength of old men, brother you are a BEAST
Brian, Eddie and Robert and Nick.
Cool.
Man i really felt Nick's emotion after he lifted that monstrosity. The yell of a champ who beat younger giants
This could have been a career ending injury. Hopefully they have a look at that pop.
just a disc, nothing too bad
yea 1-2 discs just popped, nothing special
who needs them anyway
I’m shocked Nick didn’t beat Eddie to death after this episode.
slovak4life1991 nah I think Eddie knew it would fire him up and out of mutual respect he told him it wasn’t good so he could do it again better
The producer probably told Eddie to say something like that
He appreciates it, they aren't the strongest men in the world because they let each other get away with partial lifts.
@@spilledcoffee383 yea.... this show is still about the money. And controversy is a reality show is Gold.
Hey if the she didn’t fit try it again he’s right if he set their quietly knowing that lift wasn’t properly done he would never stop thinking about it we need more people like Eddie to be honest and blunt
Nick Best is the MAN!! When he put down the lift he immediately looked to Ed like ARE WE GOOD NOW!?!?!?
Eddie: "that one didn't leave the ground"
Also Eddie: 6:31(front left and right carousel leg)
Constipation is never gonna be a problem to these guys
To one of the greatest people who ever lived...RIP Paul Anderson, one of the strongest men in human history.
You would have thought swapping William for Will would have made it lighter, not heavier
CZcams algorithm has finally blessed us for Strongmen videos back to back
Great to see Strongman get some publicity. Paul Anderson was my dad’s hero & one of my childhood inspirations that got me into strength training, so I’m again grateful for the History Channel to have put together this series & this episode.
Nick's a beast but Brian did that pretty easy he could gone heavier and Eddy lower body is by far the strongest out of all of them
Eddie has short legs and long arms and torso so he can deadlift an unreal amount. He is mechanically made better for that lift and it is why he has the WR. I do not think itll transfer over to this lift since it's more like a sumo squat.
zeagias you do realize that was a joke made up by lifters like saying “you only lifted that because your legs are so tiny” it was never meant to be serious
What are you talking about? Nicks by far the strongest here; lightest BW by far and oldest by far
@@ryanstrohman7429 even when he was young he never even placed top 5 ????
Nikko Jennings I’m talking about this lift
FOR PERSPECTIVE: 2700 pounds is the WEIGHT OF A HONDA CIVIC
But when are they going to tow a blue whale already?
😂😂😂
@@fonduman213 hafthor and brian have towed I think an ac130 and tour buses!
@@coleragsdale4827 Brian and Eddie has pulled a semi and trailer uphill.
Paul was strong for his era, but these guys are stronger than him.
*I like Brian and Eddie bc there just two tanks making fun of each other lol*
Just incredible!!!
You the MAN Nick!
Great job 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Having experienced having to have emergency back surgery, that hurt just watching. I hope the first two guys are ok after that!
I think robert has had chronic back problems, he shouldn't have tried that.
What I enjoy most about watching these guys is the extreme sportsmanship and respect that these guys have for each other. Sure, it’s competitive but they show how to have fun and be safe while competing
These guys have heart. Even though its competition, they respect each other and show love. Respect to you guys!
I told my wife im the man of steel,she said oh is that why you leave rust on your underwear.😟😟😟😟
Ha ha! Great one that!
Lol wtf
Hahaha! Slick.......
That sounds like a rodney dangerfield joke. No respect...
I dont think ppl that watch this fully understand how difficult this is
I think most world class heavyweight squatters could do it
I don’t think people who watch this truly understand how powerful white People are. 👌🏻
OneDerscore One lmfao. Ever heard of Donnie thompson? What about Paul Anderson? There are many people who have squatted more than Ray Williams. His “record” is only in his federation and only in the US.
They're lifting it from one chain, the balance only makes it so all the legs leave the ground, which it did, except for the "balanced" lift.
“dOnt trY thIs At hOmE”
Ok I’ll just try it at my neighbors house.
Pretty cool they got Paul Anderson’s family in this , I’m pretty young but I remember him being in the classic worlds strongest man contests as a host\instructor
Aaaah loves that the strongman & strenght community gets the spotlight it deserves! There is something very specieal with just strength. Awesome!
Amazing attempts and successes! Huge kudos to Nick for making the lift. That being said most of Paul’s exhibition lifts we’re not maxes, and the relative ease seen in the video of this hip lift is apparent in not only making the lift but how he then swung it back and forth (a bit) to show all the legs were off the ground. His structure was perfect for these type of things.
Can’t wait for the next episodes... Nick, Robert, Eddie and Brian are so natural together!
6:23 bruh its so intense but a bit after it just gets mad quiet LMAO
Nick best is highly underrated! And needs more spotlight in the youtube series
This series is truly awesome! Excited to see all the fun content you guys will bring.
They seem like great people to sit down and crack open a cold one with.
The kid swinging his legs had me dead 😂
I have more respect for Nick now than ever before...
Brian: "Just cuz you're small & weak..."
Nick: *Lifts more weight than anyone* "Yeah!"
Brian: "..."
I so love his statement'thee oldest man beat you' like the Tortoise and the Hare don't count them out wait till the end. RESPECT
People who disliked this have no appreciation at how strong and amazing these people are, shame on you
I think my spine cracked just watching this!
8:50 “That didn’t leave the ground”
Cameraman: Am I a joke to you.
That’s a different one
This lift and what it did to these guys proves what a true prodigy Paul Anderson was.
Anderson didn't hurt himself on this lift at all.
I love how Eddie called out nick for the pole not leaving the ground but if u watch his lift, the pole in the middle didn’t leave the ground either
6:30
6:12 that guy has limited edition Mr Beast merch
Wow salute you old man
Respect to eddie for calling out the false lift.
He didnt even lift the left side
rick Bautista thats a false lift
1:23 Shots fired!
Best show the history channel has come out with by far
I get Eddie is trying to be loyal to Paul Anderson but his front pole didnt lift off the ground either even with the lighter weight.
No one called it out though and I don't think Eddie would've noticed.
I think Nick would've been annoyed if he went back and saw this for himself. Although, I can't comment on how Nick would feel, hopefully he's perusing the comments and will verify :)
@@MrOneofakind777 nah fam im good
wasnt his fault. balance and height issue
kyle k that was Eddie fault as he unbalanced the whole carousel. Eddie is a risk taker where the others are more playing it safe to retain their body in one piece.
@@MichelLinschoten good point
Imagine you take these dudes for a lunch.....😂... and get bankrupt....😂😂😂
Matt Stonie might be able to take all 4 of them on at once. But it would be close.
Take them to a buffet. Let them bankrupt the owner.

@@mensuddevic8983 maybe break a food eating record
Salute you Nick for your courage and indomitable spirit.
Thanks history. It's been a long time that we were asking for this. The bunch of strongmen are not friends, they are family.
Eddie really changes the atmosphere
In what way?
It's all fun and games until Eddie starts denying your lifts.
The first guy admitted on Rogan's podcast that he has had back issues before. He never went to the doctor and had it checked out... He may have re-injured himself. 😥
All this was recorded before worlds strongest man and Robert Oberst competed there and tore his bicep but his back seemed fine or he wouldn't have gone at all.
It was his bicep
He said it improved by core exercising and going down from being 400+ lbs. As well as smoking weed, but lets keep our attention on the first two.
Before anyone says anything, I'm a huge advocate for weed; being a regular user. I only mentioned the weed because he said it has helped him with dealing with pain, but I believe the reduction of weight and exercising his core is what probably helped in the long run.
@@MrOneofakind777 he was talking about a different injury, this didnt set him back more then a week if at all.
@@bsblplayer69 Ah, I thought OP was talking about Oberst's back injuries which is what I referred to in my message, my mistake if it wasn't the case.
Nick Best is an absolute beast. 50 years old and still beating this guys in their prime in his lifts.
Paul Anderson was the strongest man, ever. Did these feats without ANY supplements, (scientific based/backed) knowledge, assistance, endorsements, or supports. Truly Strength is in the ❤️
Nick Best earned this respect.
Paul Anderson versus Louis Cyr is what we need in the future.
Yea I was thinking that the original lift was by far the most impressive.
>huge bodybuilder
>pink converse
Imagine brian started doing some dips
People don't understand how incredible this Is that's the weight of about 6 fully grown grizzly bears
Wow this makes me want to cry seeing them hurt them selfs like that. Injurys are no joke.
