The Strongest Man in History

Great fun show. Four guys having fun and recreating historical strongman acts. Had me laughing out loud a lot. Especially when Oberst has to do the 'usual' in episode 3 after losing a bet!

I love watching this show. And it really highlights what an amazing guy Nick Best is.

When I first saw the previews, I didn't think I would like this show. I figured "a bunch of meatheads showing off". I couldn't have been more wrong. These guys are intelligent and very entertaining. The respect they have for one another is heartwarming. Their feats of strength are AMAZING! Truly seem to be a bunch of good guys. I'm hooked and look forward to another season.

I'm watching this show from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about strongman. The only one of the guys I'd heard of before this show was Brian Shaw from a YouTube video of his diet.

The premise of the show is 4 guys doing feats of strength usually loosely based on a historical event. While it's always impressive to see the lifts, what really carries the show is their charisma and camaraderie. All of the guys are extremely competitive and constantly are hassling one another. Pretty much all my favorite parts of the show is when they're just interacting with each other.

While I'm usually not the biggest fan of reality TV, this show is definitely an exception. Everything about this show is genuine and sometimes they fail. I don't think these guys would ever deceive the audience with weight, they all have way too much pride.

The show can feel a little padded out for time sometimes, but I think that just comes with the genre. It also definitely makes you feel lazy and weak when you see how yolked these dudes are. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Excellent show. The sportsmanship is amazing. No drama. Awesome feats of strength. I use to watch the strongman competitions when I was younger. And this is that at its highest level. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because there was no heads up it was being filmed in Virginia. I would have traveled a hour to watch these guys live if it was an option. Always rooting for Nick!
