Both Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall have been training in different ways since Strongman. This includes an MMA event that ended up falling through due to contract issues. Now, the two legends will step up to the table in arm wrestling.

“There is a period of learning that has to happen with me getting into arm wrestling. There are a lot of physical attributes that can benefit me in arm wrestling. I have to learn how to arm wrestle. This was the way that I approached Strongman as well.”
