The Strongest Man in History is a reality television show that premiered on the History Channel in 2019. The show follows four of the world's strongest men, Eddie Hall, Robert Oberst, Brian Shaw, and Nick Best, as they travel to different locations around the world to take on legendary feats of strength.

Each episode of the show is dedicated to a specific legendary feat of strength from history, such as pulling a Viking ship, lifting a 700-pound stone, or carrying a 400-pound log. The four men face off against each other in the challenges, with the winner of each episode determined by who can complete the feat in the fastest time or lift the heaviest weight.

Eddie Hall, known as "The Beast," hails from England and held the world record for the heaviest deadlift until 2020. Brian Shaw, from the United States, is a four-time winner of the World's Strongest Man competition, and also holds the record for the heaviest Atlas stone lift. Robert Oberst, also from the United States, is known for his towering height and impressive strength, and was a finalist in the World's Strongest Man competition in 2018. Nick Best, also from the United States, is the oldest member of the group at 50 years old, but has been competing in strongman competitions for over 30 years.

The show not only showcases the incredible physical strength of these four men, but also delves into the history behind each of the legendary feats of strength. Viewers are taken on a journey through time as they learn about the Viking invasions of England, the ancient Greek Olympics, and the lumberjacks of Canada.

One of the unique elements of the show is the camaraderie between the four competitors. Despite being rivals on the competition scene, they support each other throughout the challenges and push each other to their limits. The show also features interviews with the competitors, giving insight into their personal lives and motivations for taking on such incredible feats of strength.

The Strongest Man in History is a visually impressive show, featuring stunning landscapes and impressive camera work to capture the sheer size and strength of the men and the challenges they face. The challenges themselves are thrilling to watch, as the competitors push their bodies to the limit to achieve the impossible.

Overall, The Strongest Man in History is an exciting and inspiring show that celebrates the incredible strength and determination of these four men. It is a must-watch for fans of strongman competitions, history buffs, or anyone who enjoys watching people achieve the seemingly impossible.
