      @@wileecoyote5749 Nah. The guy doing the catching of the bar was quite adamant he can handle it, so there would be no liability if he gets knocked out cold by that bar flying towards him. I certainly understand Shaw being concerned with basically throwing a bar as hard he can in the direction of a guy half his size.

      Like when a nurse told me to squeeze the side of her hand as hard as I could, I said "I don't want to hurt you". But she ignored me. Yet after I started squeezing she opened her mouth as if shocked and said "stop, it's enough". I guess she thought a little old sick guy like me was nothing to be concerned about. I neglected to tell her I'd been grip training at home

He's always been super strong and in tune with his body, but over the years we really got to see Brian evolve into almost the perfect combination of speed, athleticism, power, and consistency to become one of the very best to do it.

      I think it’s cause it takes a lot more control. 😅 Like I genuinely believe big people are usually less coordinated I think solely cause they got more mass to move. 😅 Like cause you’re bigger, it’s gonna take more strength and honestly control to have your body move how you want it to. Still big people can get way stronger then a smaller dude and I think anyone can train athleticism, just keep playing a sport, train to get your strength up and it’ll come. 😂

And in general if you've watched his other vids you would know that his grip is unmatched. He has several world record grip lifts, he's one of less than 5 people that did reps with the millennium dumbbell, Vitaly couldn't lift a slightly lighter dumbbell at around 215 pounds (though he was very close).

    17:28 - According to Magnus Midtbø (the rock climber) it is for some reason fairly normal for people to have a stronger grip on their non-dominant hand. I dont know why, but I suspect from my own life that it has to do with the left often being the "supporting" hand while doing something with the right. Typically I do bigger movements with the left side and more fine motor movement with my right (being right handed ofc). Lets say you are loading plates on a barbell, typically for me at least, id lift it with both hands, hold it there mostly with the left sarm to keep it steady while using the right hand to line up the hole with the bar end.
    Honestly I dont know though, its just really interesting to me, and Ive been noticing it more and more after I was told.

    • @omniphile.
      @omniphile. Před 3 měsíci

      i think it has to do with your dominant hand/arm being used way more often and also in a more "endurance" based way than your other. for example, i am right handed, but my left biceps is WAY stronger. But when it comes to endurance, my left biceps fails much much earlier than my right one, so i think thats the main reason. since your dominant arm/hand is needed for complex fine motor skills, its trained to be "softer" than your opposing side

    • @omniphile.
      @omniphile. Před 3 měsíci

      @@kvernesdotten it's not "softer" per se, it's more like that your dominant side tends to have less fast twitch fibers since fine motor skills are often times more endurance based. Think of writing, brushing teeth, using your computer mouse etc. You tend to use your dominant hand for nearly any task, and it really adds up over the course of the day. But I could be completely wrong, it's just my suggestion

      @kvernesdotten Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@omniphile. Yeah I get that, Ive just never seen any evidence that developing fine motor skills or endurance comes at the expense of strength somehow. Apart from the actual time invested in one or the other of course. But likewise, I could be entirely wrong haha.
      I did have an accident that caused me to live in a hospital for almost a year for surgeries and physical rehab, and when I couldnt use my right leg it caused the left one to be "over developed" according to the physicians and it far exceeded the right leg on everything from fine motor skills, endurance and raw strenght. It was, and still is, better than what my right leg has ever been. Bit extreme example and not actually a hand, but point is that one doesnt necessarily exclude the other. Or so I think at least.
      But hey, evidently the right hand thing is absolutely real and fairly well known. So at this point your guess holds more water than mine.

    • @omniphile.
      @omniphile. Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@kvernesdotten ur observation could be because of the following: the origin of all movement comes from? right, the brain. its not merely the size or strenght of the muscle itself, strenght/fine motor skills are also determined by the nervous system. so if you stop using one leg, and only use the other one, the capacity of your nervous system to navigate the muscles in this one is way higher (u could argue it kinda doubles). i assume thats one of the reasons, but again, im not a doctor or physiotherapist, just a biology student with a fascination for sports and related stuff. my knowledge is big, but it would be interesting to hear some expert opinion on this. i might ask some friends, i will get back to you here when done.

    Brian is such a talented athlete too, to be able to go throw all the various exercises and movements here because remember this is a performance based institute, not just a measure of strong man strength, it takes more skill to apply this outside of just the traditional lifting environment...
    Alot of these movements he did not only takes raw strength but also coordination and athleticism, his massive frame is really impressive, the strength combined with the skill and coordination is what makes him pretty much one of the all time bests, hes not just some short stocky strong man who is not coordinated, you can tell Brian has the power but the skills to go with it, very impressive.

    My impression is that Brian's last slap wasn't at 100%. I watched it in slow motion, and it resembles the previous slaps, that is, without particular effort. I think Brian can slap much harder, i.e. twisting his torso faster and giving a loud yell like in previous performances. Btw this is an amazing video👏👏👏

      The UFC performance center was recently built, around 2016 or 2017 along with the apex center. It's world renown now tho.
