Four-time World’s Strongest Man winner Brian Shaw has recently announced his retirement from competitive bodybuilding.

He stated, “It sounds like there’s a lot of great things going on that his transition will be similar to mine. Kind of funny, because we have a lot of similarities in our career…”
