“T-rex” looks able to go for the meet in Colorado.
American strongman Evan Singleton is one in all the competitors preparing for the 2023 Shaw Classic, slated for Aug. 19-20, 2023 on the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, CO, and based on the looks of his training, he’s prepared and assured in his possibilities.
On Aug. 11, 2023, Singleton posted a training video on his YouTube channel, which featured him performing a standing overhead press with 204 kilograms (450 kilos). You’ll be able to see the complete video below, with the large lift coming at the three:49 mark.

Singleton removed the barbell from the rack and took three small steps to organize himself. He pushed the bar up, but it surely got here back down quickly after rising only halfway. He immediately regrouped and pushed again, and the second time it went up all of the option to lockout. He lowered the load to shoulder level and re-racked the bar. He wore wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, and a weightlifting belt for the lift.
Within the moments after, Singleton said that he could have rushed the primary attempt because his entire body wasn’t tight. Once he regrouped and set himself, the bar went up, and he expressed confidence about his possibilities at the competition.
“Going into the Shaw Classic with a 450 (kilos) out of the rack, I’m pleased, confident, and yeah, and ending out of the rack on a extremely good note.”
He then finished the workout with seated machine presses, reverse pec-deck flyes, single-arm cable lateral raises, and triceps pushdowns. Full sets and reps weren’t shown of those exercises.

Singleton goes into the 2023 Shaw Classic with a number of momentum because of his victory on the 2023 Giants Live Strongman Classic on July 8. He advanced to the 2023 World’s Strongest Man final before that, ending that contest in a career-best fifth place. He competed within the 2022 and 2021 editions of the Shaw Classic as well. He was eighth out of 15 men within the 2022 Shaw Classic and fifth out of 16 in 2021. Trey Mitchell won each contests.
The 2023 Shaw Classic has a number of history riding on it. Other than promoter Brian Shaw reporting it to be his final contest as an athlete, the competition winner will now earn the title of “Strongest Man on Earth” because of Shaw purchasing the rights from original owner and Fortissimus strongman contest promoter Paul Ohl.
