SHOCKING Regrets + Biggest Strongman Mindsets: Shaw vs Hall Docs & Hip Replacements

from The Best Experience Hosted by Bulman Media

Nick Best and his co-host welcome a new Patreon member and answer questions about what Nick would redo in his World’s Strongest Man career, citing three key moments: pushing too hard in a qualifying keg carry then being too conservative in a rock-bag medley, taking bad squat warmup advice in 2013 China that put his back out after travel delays, and playing conservative on the 2017 elephant carry despite having more distance. They discuss the value and pitfalls of modern coaching and the importance of knowing rules and recording event testing. Nick compares Brian Shaw’s and Eddie Hall’s documentaries, emphasizing their relentless competitive mindsets, and argues Eddie’s 1,041 axle deadlift is more impressive than the 1,100 deadlift-bar pull. Nick then explains his upcoming bilateral hip replacements, detailing bone spurs, recovery expectations, and his goal to return to heavy lifting without pain. 00:00 Show Intro and Patreon 01:19 Welcome New Member 01:46 WSM Do-Over Events 05:44 Coaching and Competing 11:29 Shaw vs Hall Docs 17:28 Deadlift Bar Rant 20:41 Hip Replacement Update 26:03 Rehab Plan and Mindset 33:22 Closing Thoughts Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/BestStrong Nick Best https://lnk.bio/NickBest Nick Best Merch https://nickbeststrongman.myshopify.com Barbell Apparel http://barbellapparel.com/best Invigor Medical (Code NickBest10) https://influencer.invigormedical.com/nickbeststrongman Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-best-experience--5779077/support.
