The Strongest Man in History

Starring Nick Best with Eddie Hall, Brian Shaw, and Robert Oberst

Four of the planet's greatest strongmen travel the world investigating legendary feats of raw power — from Scottish Highland stones to ancient Roman tests — and attempt to recreate them. Nick, dubbed the “Grandfather of Strongman” and a Shield Carry world-record holder, brings decades of competition experience and a Las Vegas episode set in his own backyard.

The World's Strongest Family

Featuring Nick, Callie, Dylan, and Jessica Best

TLC profiled the Best household for an episode of My Crazy Obsession, dubbing them the world's strongest family. With Nick and his wife Callie — herself a professional strongwoman — and their kids all training together, the family clocks up to 240 combined hours of training a week, with Nick alone consuming 10–15,000 calories a day. The household goes through ten dozen eggs a week to fuel the obsession.
