I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2996 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275 650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq	umpalumpalifter said:if shaw wins the next two years would he get the same admiration as Z? No he wont, but he still will need to respected... Z has such longevity, has so many world records and has won so much. In some respects, you can say Brian has achieved a lot in a much smaller space of time, so he deserves respect. However I think if you compare them alongside each other, people will always favor Z.

You could argue that Brian started off in a more competitive era. Don't get me wrong Z is still the greatest. However if Brian were to win a few more WSM and Arnold classics, he and his fans would have the right to claim he is number 1.

Please insult me further!! Member 5626, 92 posts SQ 165, BP 110, DL 210 485.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	I was playing Pointless on a quiz machine the other night! One of the questions was "men who have won the WSM title" Naturally I avoided the likes of Kaz, Z and Shaw and selected Janne Virtenen! The opponent went for Shaw!! Wahoo, I thought, I've won here! Virtanen - score or 27!! Shaw - score of 1!!! ONE!!!! I nearly dropped my pint all over the place!! FUMING!! Just proved 100% that these quiz games are completely rigged!!

Z is probably the greatest ever largely due to his longevity but I do think Shaw gets under rated. Remember that in WSM and Arnold Shaw's biggest weakness gets hit in every final. Z's biggest weakness (his grip) rarely gets tested these days. Since Shaw won his first WSM he has won 3 Arnolds to Z's 1 and 3 WSM titles each. In fact Shaw is a dropped sandbag away from having more WSM titles than Z in total. No doubt that over the last 5 years Shaw has been the worlds most successful strongman.

No doubt that over the last 5 years Shaw has been the worlds most successful strongman. This is true. I think Z gets more praise because he is seen as more static. In the end of the day, it is strongman, not powerlifting. Thor is currently a better strongman than Ed, but Ed has more static power. Competitions won, is what really matters. Shaw definitely has the edge, these last few years. Both great Strongman!

500. Its gonna happen Member 4329, 300 posts SQ 120, BP 115, DL 175 410.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	If z didnt return in 2009 shaw could have about 6-7 titles

I am from Germany so i know what i talk about. Member 5171, 1049 posts SQ 217.5, BP 160, DL 233.5 611.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	Shaw and savatinov already said they love the fact that they have am 136kg dumbbell at the asc because both guys can rep it

Member 4760, 203 posts	drex50 said:Zydrunas already looks enormously big he took it serious this year brian shaw is pissing in his pants[/quote That's funny. I thought Shaw looked massive in the Brazil beach photo on his facebook page (certainly compared to Radz). It's hard to tell with Z. I don't think he looks as big as he did in 2014 when he weighed 400+ lbs. If Z's back is 100% he may win. If not, there are too many guys that are close to him statically now for him to win (assuming everyone comes in top shape). He's likely a shoe in for log press even with a bad back. Everything else though would be a question mark.

It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts	HeavyFuel said: drex50 said: That's funny.

Member 5836, 366 posts SQ 220, BP 137.5, DL 235 592.5 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	I'd love to be past my peak and still winning WSM.

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts	Donnie how do you Shaw Is on more Insulin than Z. I'm sure most top guys use similar stuff. They won't want to give edge to anyone.

more like 'FAT TROLL' Member 984, 6331 posts SQ 420, BP 260, DL 335 1015.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq	I agree Shaw peaked in 2014!

Member 4923, 1795 posts	I dont get how Shaw is past his peak?? Evidence please

Mikeneto		...	02-02-2016 @ 00:23
End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts	They both judge strength purely on pressing. Shaw pressed Austrian Oak x 2 in 2014 and failed it in 2015.
