Bio

Born in on February 26, 1982, in Fort Lupton, Colorado, Brian is the son of Jay and Bonnie Shaw. During his high school years, he played basketball and even got a full basketball scholarship for Black Hills State University. He graduated in wellness management. Even while playing basketball, he was training with weights. He often described the weight room as his favorite place. Shaw reflected on his beginnings in powerlifting: “I’ve always been able to do this. The biggest tire, the heaviest stone… I’ve always been able to walk up and lift it. Odd strength is what it is, not weight-room strength. It’s brute strength.”

MONDAY MOTIVATION?? – Monday’s have turned into one of my favorite days of the week because it’s always fun to start a new week with new goals to accomplish. Lots of big things to get done this week and I’m excited to keep moving forward! – Throwing around the 130’s very easily…maybe easier than I ever have for seated shoulder press. I’m thinking all of this bench training I have been doing will have a big carry over to my overhead press with how easy these are moving…excited to find out! – American Bred shirt is available on Shawstrength.com and wrist wraps/cuff are available from @evolutionathleticsgear – @trifectasystem @roguefitness @getnewage @probodycoach @jailhousestrong #shawstrength #evolutiontowardsgreatness #begreat
