Couldn't anybody get a better picture of him? I mean, come on.67.85.182.74 (talk) 04:42, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is very poorly written, with bad grammar and an awkward style. Did a third-grader write it, an ESL student, or - most likely - a sports fan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.7.244.51 (talk) 05:48, 31 May 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Why do I have to fix the html of a bot???

Bench press N/A?[edit]

Seriously? A pro strongman who doesn't have a documented max bench? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDarkOneLives (talk • contribs) 08:05, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is well known that Brian doesn't train bench at all. There are a couple videos of him doing 495 for reps but never a max (and even then it wouldn't be a true max because he hasn't trained technique. Few pro strongmen ever do bench press simply because it is never a tested lift. All strongman competitions favor the overhead press. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zyklon D (talk • contribs) 02:05, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zyklon D, I believe it can be kept. 525 lbs for 2 reps = around 550 lbs (250 kg) 1RM which is not bad considering Hafthor's 245kg meet max. I'm re adding it until Brian's 1RM comes up - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:47, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
