brian shaw He has big goals in 2022. The former World’s Strongest Man (he won the title in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016), will return to competition this year and his training has already started. In a new video, he takes his followers through one of his high-volume training sessions.
“I feel like at the end of 2021 I had a ton of momentum and I’m going to carry it into 2022,” he says. “Every day is an opportunity to start. Every day is an opportunity to improve… Now I am becoming the strongest man in the world. It’s crazy to say, but we are literally at 20 weeks, so every training session , every week is very, very important.”
Shaw shared that he is now working with a different strength coach, ‘Big House’ joe kenn, whom Shaw says is “one of the best strength coaches in the world, if not the best strength coach in the world.” Shaw says he previously worked with him in 2005.
To begin the workout, Shaw begins with warm-ups using a resistance band (4 sets of 25 reps), including: overhead triceps band extensions, band pulldowns, and a flexible fitness convergent chest press. It takes about 10 minutes.
“It blew my arms out of my shirt,” he says. I have a good pump running.
Next, do a prone dumbbell incline row (15 reps) followed by an elevated shoulder press (one shoulder press for the first set, followed by a high incline and a lower incline for 5 sets of 15 reps each).
“Massive volume today,” he says.
He gets down to it, and the sweat begins to rain down.
“That got real there in the middle with all those reps. That’s a lot of volume,” he says. “But the elevator presses are an interesting move because the shoulder press, probably the hardest, and then it gets a little bit easier, a little bit easier as you get more and more fatigued. The rows definitely caught up a little bit more.” quicker than I thought. They were going to do it today. But I think the presses worked really well. It was a big challenge.”
The last thing you have is a medley, which includes: a single-arm cable lateral raise, a single-arm standing dumbbell shoulder press, a seated single-arm shrug, a rope triceps extension overhead single arm and one dumbbell single arm. curly. You will do 15 reps for each exercise, for 4 sets.
He gets to that and works through all four sets.
“Man, I feel good. But I will definitely say that ‘Big House’ Joe Kenn is definitely testing me right now, and this volume has definitely been kicking my butt a little bit. I’m not used to that. It’s got me a bit of my comfort zone,” admits Shaw. “But sometimes when you want to get better, you need to get out of your comfort zone. And if you want something bad enough, you have to be willing to work for it. If I put this amount of work into the next 20 weeks before I’m the man strongest in the world, it’s going to be a very, very good thing and something I’m proud of.
