“Probably the Leanest 384lb Guy on the Planet”: Strongman Legend Brian Shaw’s Surprisingly Low Body Fat Percentage Leaves Lifting Community in a Frenzy

In a surprising revelation, strongman legend Brian Shaw, alongside his wife Keri, shared his body fat percentage results, leaving the community in awe and admiration. The retired athlete shared an update on YouTube on February 1st. The results were stunning and propelled a competition that promises not only to inspire but also to entertain. Moreover, the couple went to the Fit Wellness Center in Broomfield, Colorado, opting for hydrostatic weighing to get the most accurate measure of body fat.

The process involves submerging oneself underwater and expelling as much air as possible, turning what could be nerve-wracking into a playful game. Shaw, no stranger to the quest for precision, shares a past hiccup with a DEXA scan, emphasizing its inaccuracies for individuals with a lean physique. However, Keri takes the plunge first, surprising everyone by surpassing expectations and reducing her body fat from 20.8% to 18.9%.

Brian Shaw, always up for a challenge, undergoes multiple attempts and lands at an impressive 17.6%, seizing a 1.3% lead. The couple reflects on their results, with him expressing satisfaction of being under 20%! As the real challenge begins, they officially launch the competition on Shaw Elite Club, competing with prizes and a high-stakes wager: the loser becomes the servant, chef, and cleaner for the winner for an entire day. The video quickly garnered reactions from the lifting community, with many expressing amazement at Shaw’s physique.

The community was left stunned by Brian Shaw’s insane result!

One fan noted, “316 pounds of fat-free mass is INSANE. Dude is a unit of a human,” and one user emphasizes, “Brian is probably the leanest 384lb guy on the planet, anyone bigger is fatter and anyone leaner is smaller for sure. Total giant beast.”

His journey to trim down and prioritize a healthier lifestyle resonates with those who have struggled with their own fitness goals. One individual expressed gratitude, stating, “My dude, you inspire me, I’m 6’4 340 been big and strong for no reason my whole life. Watching you cut all the unscary bs from your diet and getting lean makes me want to do the same. Thank you for being an inspiration Big b.”
