At 6 feet 8 inches tall, and 420 pounds, professional "strong man" Brian Shaw can do a lot of things easily - like lifting really heavy things, setting world records, or consuming unfathomable amounts of protein.
But size is a double-edged sword, and there are disadvantages to being gargantuan, half of which Shaw's sharply reminded of when he travels.
Using ticket kiosks, or any automated machine for that matter, can cause some serious neck strain.
You know, because it's SO damn far down to look.
Metal detectors are also not the funnest thing in the world.
But the real pain in the ass is planes...
Especially tiny-as-hell ones, like this little hang-glider with engines.
And to make matters worse, everyone gives Brian this "hoooooly...WTF???" look, like he's from Mars or something.
But in their defense, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be dumbfounded to see a man his size shuffling toward me.
Just don't make him angry...you won't like him when he's angry.
No, from all we've seen of Shaw outside his competitions, he seems like a giant teddy bear.
Not surprisingly, the stares and smirks of astonishment aren't just limited to planes.
And when he checks into his hotels, the reactions are always pretty predictable.
"Okay Goliath...I'm sorry, Brian...your room number is 436."
Despite all the pangs and inconveniences of traveling though, Brian is still a really good sport about it all.
