Joe Rogan and Bryan Callen were talking about the ‘Mountain,’ a.k.a. Hafthor Bjornson, and how he was not eligible for fighting MMA since he was very tall and massive with his incredible muscles. This is when Callen brought Brian Shaw into this conversation.
Rogan concluded, ?The Mountain could not fight MMA he is too big.? This is when Callen said that he is not the biggest man because there is another contender who is bigger than The Mountain. He said, ?The guy is Brian Shaw He is 465 pounds trim he is so ridiculously strong you gotta remember he picked up a Thomas-inch dumb bub barbell.?
Callen describes the insane amount of strength that the strongman possesses and narrates, ?He was playing basketball. He was walking around like a giant guy and you know what the Thomas Inch is? It’s a circus trick like nobody can do it. Like you have to pinch the barbell and lift it. It’s one in like 100 million people can do it.? The Thomas-inch dumbbell weighs only 172 lbs, but the catch is in the handle, which is only 2.5 inches in diameter, which makes the lift near impossible.?
A shocked Callen then described the scenario where Shaw managed to ace this near-impossible stunt: ?And he walked over and he goes, ?I don?t know what is this?? Nobody can do it all day and he goes ?Okay? He pinched it up and goes ?This??? Shaw lifted it like it was made out of thermocol. His strength is unmatched, and this is why he broke records lifting 1,140 pounds. However, even the strongest real-life superhero sometimes needs medical help.
