As Eddie Hall and Hafthor Bjornsson Beef, Brian Shaw is Training Like a Beast in Quarantine

Brian Shaw is in full beast mode while training from home.

The quarantine has been rough on everyone. It has meant completely shifting our lives to a way of living many of us aren’t used to. For professional strength athletes it’s been particularly difficult. In order to perform in their sport they need to be able to lift heavy and consistently. For strongman competitors that rings doubly true.

Hafthor Bjornsson has his own gym and has been training hard to complete his 501 kg deadlift challenge. While he may not be competing in strongman competitions anymore, Eddie Hall is still training hard himself. Hall has even had time to criticize Hafthor Bjornsson ahead of his deadlift challenge.

But while the two have gone back and forth on YouTube and social media, another strongman has been laying low and putting in work. That man is former four-time World’s Strongest Man, Brian Shaw.

Brian Shaw has come up short in his last few attempts at the World’s Strongest Man title. That said, the former champion is in full beast mode while in quarantine. He’s also managing to avoid any drama while doing so.

While the global health crisis has a lot of people down, Brian Shaw is making the most of it and putting in quality work from home.

THOMAS INCH DB FARMERS WALK ? – I decided to throw some sets of these into my training for fun! For anyone not familiar with the Thomas Inch Dumbbell it’s also known as “the unliftable dumbbell” because not many men can break one off the ground. The original weighed 172lbs and had a 2.47” handle which is why it’s such a challenge to lift! My replicas are both around 176 lbs for reference. – I don’t know exactly how many men could do a farmers walk with two of them but I’m confident in saying it wouldn’t be a long list of names. – Make sure to follow @evolutionathleticsgear leading up to our launch this Saturday April 4th at 12PM MST/ 2PM EST – Hope you are all having a great day! – @redcon1 @trifectasystem @roguefitness @cbdfit @getnewage @probodycoach @jailhousestrong #shawstrength #evolutionathleticsgear #begreat
