HISTORY's new series "The Strongest Man In History," will send four of the world's leading strongmen;—Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Robert Oberst and Nick Best—on a journey across the world to seek out history's most legendary titans of strength, celebrate their feats of fortitude, immerse themselves in their history and attempt to break their long-standing records, some of which have endured for hundreds of years.

Imagine running from Eddie and then jumping into water thinking he'll never catch me and then he does that butterfly stroke 😕

[lippy]

Eddie's a faster swimmer because he finally has enough water around him to stay hydrated.

[Kragatar]

2:35
Oberst: Launches.
Nick: Off to a slow start.
Brian: Drowns.

[noahharper]

Swims two laps

“I’m hungry let’s get something to eat”

[mountainmanwatchreviews]

If Brian ever gets attacked by a shark he's got a better chance of eating it than swimming away.

[RubyisCute]

Brian Shaw went full nuclear submarine there lol

[sogandik]

I think brian tried to lift the pool up

[saims.]

Note to self:

Running from Brian: jump in a pool.
Running from Eddie: Play dead.

[MakoTaco]

Brian is very consistent, he swims the same pace in reinforced concrete

[davidivey]

Brian is the American navy’s secret submarine weapon

[predacontherising]

It's actually really impressive that Eddie still has pretty good form and technique considering how huge and heavy he is.

[IDixuu]

2:33 Brain is the only one who didnt set off, he just sank 😂

[RStories.]

Tears are coming out of my eyes, Brian is like a submarine lmao im crying

[Sharkster]

I bet "We're lifting that" and "I'm hungry, let's eat" are the two most common phrases spoken on this show.

[overlycutecloud]

Plot twist:
*After Eddie swam, the pool was dehidrated*

[hakobbasilfan]

Imagine Eddie chasing you in the water

[stealthassasinday]

Set, Go... Brian drops into the pool, only surfacing for air.

[RHainesGaming]

The only reason Eddie ever learned to swim was to stay hydrated.

[muraco]

Nobody :
Nick: I'm hungry lets get something to eat

[Simon-zurb]

Brian Shaw proves why he's a true anchor for any team event...
