Brian Shaw is on fire right now. He just won his second Arnold Strongman Classic in three years, his third win of that event since 2011. And 24 hours after winning that competition he set a new Atlas Stone world record, picking up a 560-pound round stone and besting the previous world record by 5 pounds:
After Brian Shaw set the new Atlas Stone World record at 560-pounds he was asked about lifting 600, a feat that Brian seems somewhat confident is within his reach at some point.
