Shaw is known for his prodigious daily calorie intake, as well as his mammoth cheat days—like the time he nearly wiped an entire Chick-fil-A off the map or when he downed a 7-pound burrito on his YouTube channel. In Shaw’s latest video, he partners up with fellow mountain of muscle Terry Hollands to peruse a Costco in search of meat. Don’t worry—they found it. Plenty of it. In fact, 25 pounds of it.
