Brian Shaw gives update on hamstring, thoughts on Hafthor Bjornsson vs Eddie Hall.
Four-time World’s Strongest Man champion Brian Shaw recently gave an update on his hamstring injury. The veteran strongman competitor and champ also touched on the upcoming Hafthor Bjornsson versus Eddie Hall match up taking place later this month.
Brian Shaw is one of the best strongman to ever compete in the sport. Even in recent times the now 40 year old Shaw is still acquitting himself well in competition. He even came in second place at the 2021 World’s Strongest Man competition.
Injury Update
The strongman recently updated his fans and followers on his current health standing. Recently suffering a hamstring injury, Brian Shaw is now on the mend and looking to get back to training and competing. The strongman standout had this to say about the state of his injury.
“I feel really, really good about where I’m at after that treatment,” said Brian Shaw. “I am so thankful that Jerry recommended that. I’m so thankful to the clinic down there, and if you guys haven’t seen that video make sure to go back in the channel and check it out because I describe the treatment, what went on, and the update I guess, this is a great time to do the update. I gave it some time to kick in and I got back to work and I have not had one issue whatsoever. I haven’t felt my hamstrings with going back in and having them trained and loading them more. I’m very thankful for that. I’m thankful for Jerry. I’m thankful for Dr. Lundqvist for doing a great job on me.
“She has checked in a couple of times since the procedure, and this is something that will continue to work for what I understand for 6-12 months. So, this is an incredible thing, and I can’t recommend it high enough. If you’re having an issue or something that’s going on like I was, if you have an injury, literally. It’s insane what the healing potential is of that. So, I feel great. Knock on wood.”
While his hamstring may be damaged, Brian Shaw is still working his upper body hard in the gym.
Thoughts on Bjornsson vs Hall
Brian Shaw didn’t just stop there. Shaw also touched on the upcoming boxing bout between Hafthor Bjornsson vs Eddie Hall. Having experienced competing with the two rivals in the past, Shaw has a special insight into both men’s personalities.
Here’s what Shaw had to say about whether he’ll watch his former strongman rivals duke it out.
“Well, I would say for me that I do plan on trying to watch it,” said Shaw. “I’m not sure how exactly I’m going to watch it or where I’m going to watch it but I’m curious about what is going to happen. I’m glad they finally picked a date, and it looks like it’s finally going to happen, so good for them. I feel like, quite literally, I guess we are coming up on 2-years since that was first announced. So, there’s been a lot of changes, venue changes, date changes, you know a lot of different things that have gone on that have been kind of hard to follow, to be fair. But it looks like they have a date, and it looks like they’re going to do it. So, yes, I’ll be tuning in.”
There’s no doubt that Brian Shaw will be tuning in to watch Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall throw down. The match is set for March 26 and the four-time World’s Strongest Man champion isn’t the only one likely to tune in for the bout.
