We talked at the Shaw about fears and conquering them and I mentioned to you that I had always been bad at math and wanted to go back to school and you encouraged me to do that. Figured you should know, I've dual-declared Engineering Physics and Mathematics and I'm almost done with my first semester, 3.0+ for sure but no final figure yet. Thanks for the encouragement Mitch
That’s amazing mate, keep going 💪💪
Good d for you!
Good stuff, what about step 6 though. The PED usage. I respect the guys who openly talk about that way more than the guys who hide it
@@drock213 you're replying to a comment that doesn't mention any kinds of steps or PED usage at all. However, I'll answer anyway. It's because a lot of kids watch WSM and follow the strongmen on RUclips and all steps should be taken to not expose kids to the idea of PEDs. Anyone who is serious about competing can find that information elsewhere. It shouldn't be easy to find. Also, stay natty if you aren't competing professionally.
@highviewbarbell Well everyone knows these athletes use gear, so they try and promote you their plan but conviently leave out the part of the plan that got them the best results, the gear.
The few athletes who do openly talk about their gear usage are usually respected way more than the ones who don't talk about it, yet are trying to sell you in their methods of training or supplements

step 3 might shock you!
Yo Mitchell! We were never really close but I remember you from High School. Seeing you here all of a sudden has gotta be one of the single coolest "WHOA I KNOW THAT GUY" moment's I've ever had. You're an absolute inspiration, keep on goin and keep helping people get healthy! If you're ever back this way and wanna grab a beer (or otherwise low cal high protein nutritional beverage) give me a shout. ✌
This guy is an absolute fucking gem.
The Canadian-Australian accent mix had me trying to figure out where you were from. Well spoke, humble dude, cheers from a fellow Canadian. Instantly subscribed
I remember that he was canadian but i was just hearing the odd british australian accent but that's quite unique
Is that what it is? I was like... Russian, south African, California surfer? Every word confused me further.
I'm Australian and I'm not picking Aussie at all!
But the only Canadian I know is letterkenny, so I'm lost.
@fredrickmazeli8340 after you said it I heard a few bits of almost posh British.
@@slowlyworkingthingsout Canada has so many different accents, Newfoundlanders sound like Irish/english Pikeys. Out west sounds more slow and similar to native American accents mixes with Scandinavian, the typical hoser accents. Ontario is kind of like midwest American. and Quebec obviously French accents. I don't think one province has a similar accents TBH.

Your comment about progressive overload being more than just reps and weights is a huge thing to point out. When I first walked into the gym, I went around and tried to find my working set range on the machines.
On the leg press, I banged out 12 reps at 420lbs (max weight) and was like alright, cool. Guess that's my weight.
Two weeks later, I couldn't even get 300 pounds once up. What the hell?
Well, when I started I had some pretty severe hip mobility issues. My "reps" of the 420 pound weight were from just about 90 degrees between femur and calf. I had very rapid improvements in my mobility and pain, and as a result my RoM suddenly exploded. I went from 90 degrees to 'lowest setting on the machine, feet as close to the bottom of the plate as possible'.
I basically had to look at it as an entirely new lift. I didn't "lose" 130 pounds on a lift, I "gained" almost double the range of motion and needed to build the strength through that full RoM.
I've done 20x1400 at 78 kg but noticed the rom seemed to be shortening
Thank you for sharing this video!
We should be thankful always. For everything, good or bad. I don’t celebrate any holidays, so this is not being thankful due to the day. I’m happy to have had the opportunity to watch this.
This is amazing, such a fantastic message - so humble and eloquent, and your passion to give back is so clear. You were already a huge inspiration to me and others because of your WSM accomplishments, but this and the other videos of CSEP you put up take that to just another level 🙌
Big Mitch is such a real dude. Talks about public speaking being a fear and then faces it head on super eloquently and confidently. Massive respect for that. And also having the strongest name on earth 💪
Mitchell is one of my heroes, not only is he world strongest man, hes participated and smashed so many different types and realms of movement eg long distance running, golf, even ice hockey! the breadth of scientific knowledge and ability to simplify and deliver the information in bitesizeable pieces is also commendable. overall fantastic athlete and the channel is such a great mix of entertainment and knowledge!
Does he talk about drug response and use in any of these videos? The athletes competing in WSM also have to be extremely tolerant and responsive to high doses of AAS. It's an incredibly important aspect of strongman in general, one of the most important, to be honest. It's misleading to outright omit the drug use taking place in the scene as if it doesn't play an overwhelmingly significant role in winning or performing well.
of course not. it's astounding how PEDs are in every strength sport, crossfit, bodybuilding, weightlifting and so much more and barely anyone talks about it. this guy went from runner to world's strongest man in what, 4 years? absolutely impossible without PEDs
Most of em
Don't gotta take a lot
I think genetics’ encompasses that without specificity talking about it. Response to drugs is largely genetic as well
@@cccboarding Clueless. Take any footage from WSM at any point and you’ll see competitors suffering from VISIBLE sides of AAS.
@@od1568 I'm aware. You dont think eating 7-8000 calories a day and barely being able to run doesn't cause those side effects too lol. I'm just saying most top tier athletes in aas involved sports have such a high response you don't need that much compared to someone with shit genetics trying to get to that level. Myself for example can get absolutely yolked off just trt n 25 mg of anavar pre workout and I've seen kids 1-4 my size use 5x as much and not gain a pound
This was phenomenal. Wisdom in the words used, knowing the things to say and the things not to say . Impressed
Thanks for posting videos like these!
Well said my good man. The same could, and should, be said of all fields of academia. Hands on experience and mentorship, marketing and entrepreneurship, so graduates can attain a real career in their field.
Mitch aswell as being a great strongman is very smart how he approaches things and such a humble guy 🙏This is how a true champion conducts himself 🏆🏆
I really appreciate this more educational and science focused exercise content, I haven't quite found anything else like it on RUclips and I feel like that's what separates you from the rest. It is refreshing to see this type of stuff.
You'll love Jeff Nippard. Check him out!
Greg knuckols/ stronger by science might be up your alley then
Get on MST Systems if you're into to strongman or S&C in general
Dr mike isratel is bodybuilder with phd that has same ideas as this guy, love them both
Man is crushing it. Such great content
Great talk. Inspiring as always ❤️
I've just seen you after coming back to fitness content, and I can help but see you as the Mike Menzer of strongman. The similarities are striking, man. Congratulations on all your sucucess!
The worlds strongest and intelligent Canadian man ! Merry Christmas good luck good health and good fortune to you and everyone you care for. Peace on earth and ocean.
Your Base is incredible, not downplaying your efforts, but I'd love to get to where you started. You doing good at inspiring us to get thru the startup soreness.
Appreciate you mate, if you’re serious about getting where I started - check out the programs I offer on my website moosecoaching.com
Nicely done. Congrats and God bless you.
Just an all round great guy, amazing athlete, really looking forward to watching Mitchells journey in the years to come. Keep inspiring people Moose
a wonderful and thoughtful presentation, thank you for sharing
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing big man!
Thanks Mitchell for sharing the inspiration! You're awesome for being honest.
Really, really good presentation. Straight hitting. Glad I discovered this guy 👍
What a legend! Thank you sir💪🏼😬
Thank you for sharing your story
Great speech and motivation brother 💪👍👊
Mitch is an athlete's athlete! God bless the man
Great content - as someone who is a coach who works with Soo many different types of clients this is how I try to focus on my clients. Typically I've applied the "do as I say, not do as I do" and I need to focus more on these points ha
As someone who wants to become a future trainer for fat lose this is super helpful in a way. I've been obese and I have that knowledge of what they feel like and I plan on getting my certification in 4 months and this has a lot of information
It's amazing how body transformation can make a person look so different.
And anabolic steroids. No wsm competitor is natural c
Steroids
@@marcusjonsson5531 yes factor that in as well.
I wonder what most take though. Can only test work well enough? To me Mitchell looks like he does only T and little bit of HGH maybe but Mateusz looked like someone on Tren aswell 😁@@marcusjonsson5531
yeah but the comment was about the physical transformation. I don't think anyone asked about steroids.@@marcusjonsson5531
Do something that scares you. This so true to overcome some anxieties and weaknesses. Just do it and learn form it. Even if it fails you grow as a person.
You’ve probably already covered this, but I’ve seen so many people debating bench vs incline bench and their transferability to strongman. If you haven’t covered it yet, I think it might be cool to do a short video talking about the roll that different variations of bench presses play in strongman. Keep up the great work!
You probably won't get a hard answer on this. People of different builds respond differently to different pressing exercises. I'm definitely not a pro strongman but flat benching helped me get to a 315 strict press while incline presses haven't done anything for my strength (but they have helped me build my shoulder and pecs in a way that has helped recover from injury). Some people do no flat benching at all and succeed. The best thing you can do is introduce a large variety of pressing movements slowly into your training and record the results of each one to determine what movements give you the best carryover.
Short answer. They can help if you alter your pressing motion to incorporate more chest. You don’t need them, but if you want to add them, they’ll help somewhat, but they aren’t going to move the needle as much as just training your overhead pressing better
I've been working out since I was 15 years old, and I am 49 now. The heaviest I was ever able to bench was 315 lbs. My wrists hurt so bad... I have had wrist pain since I was 20 years old. I love lifting weights but I never got strong. Which is why I am incredulous when I see this guy just show up and become the strongest man. There is an innate component. Strong bones, strong connective tissues. I don't understand how this guy could achieve what he has. I feel like I wasted my life.
@@tb-lp6vrif he couldn’t bench over 315 natty then roids were not the limiting factor
Great job Mitch!
👏🏼 you present very well Hoop, clearly conquered that fear, nicely done sir.
Love your ethos. Greatly enjoyed your performance at WSM 🏆
Your achievements are incredibly inspiring!
It was really cool to hear about your past, and that you lived in Australia for a while!
I really like your forward thinking towards growing Canada's physical activity as a medical industry (@15:40). As a Canadian that grew up in the US I find a noticeable discrepancy towards sports/training (it's great preventive care both mentally and physically).
Never watched your content before or saw your name but recognised the face. This was a fantastic video and for someone new to public speaking was really good! Thanks!
Thank you!
Worst things first is a good modo that I lived by for my entire year of 2023. It's the concept that you prioritize first the things that you want to do the least. The reasons can be just simple dislike, to anxiety or fear, but it is so important to exercise this like you exercise any other muscle. If you exercise will power, it will grow, and you will eventually find yourself doing this by habit and your life will be much easier as a result. Good job man, keep inspiring people!
Mitchell speaks concisely and eloquently here... he's fairly new to the Strongman scene so guess I, like the majority of people don't know much about him. I'd say his passion for performance at elite and novice level shines through as does his knowledge and understanding of the science behind that. You can tell he's not and out and out 'strongman', but an elite athlete who happens to excel in the world of strongman. Enjoyed watching this informative clip and wish him every success.
he forgot to mention the harsh truth:
1. genetics
2. steroids
anything else on this list matters less
1:steroids/hormones
2:genetics
@@liggerstuxin1 no you cant roid guy with 200lbs frame to 350lbs, thats not how it works
@@eutiger4789 I personally have extensive knowledge and usage of sub material. Hopefully you have some sort of information to back your opinion. But mine is based on my own self usage experience and my friends. And genetics was not the factor lol it was the substance that mattered the most. You put a 90 pound weakling on trenbolone and you will see a transformation from skinny to as big as that person wants to be. Hell just regular testosterone was enough to get to bodybuilder shape just working out 30 minutes a day every so often. It’s a cheat code. My genetics are definitely for an “ectomorph” (which they now no longer use as classifications). Testosterone was incredibly powerful. And then friends on trenbolone didn’t even work out and got crazy big.
You definitely can. Look up some of the guys in professional armwrestling ;)@@eutiger4789
@@eutiger4789Essentially no human can be 350 lean without anabolics. That's how it works.
Fair play to him, he figured it out and went to the top within 3 years, truly remarkable. Possibly the smartest strongman there has ever been.
Smartest drug user.
You are likely correct!@@Randoverse
incredible dishonest to not mentions PEDs. yes, it's obvious every SM takes it. i don't care they do, but they should still ne honest about it. this talk is a joke. i've been doing progressive overload and basic movements for a decade. but i guess i've not used airwaav which is why my gains aren't this good.
Definitely the fitness levels helped him , I see it in the gym all the time, guys starting from football(soccer) , swimming, basketball, etc sports that don't usually incorporate weight lifting, progress so much faster strength wise
Good to see you are treating our sleep apnea bud 😄We CPAP users can spot each other easily, but that's better than high bp and heart issues! 😁
First thing i noticed too.. 😂
Its shit to wear, but it saves our lives..
Amazing presentation!
Thank you for this! Simple and to the point! Much respect I just subscribed! 🙏🏾 abundance and prosperity to you in all aspects of your life!
9:00 the AIRWAAV is interesting, I've been using large gobs of sugar-free Trident gums on both sides of my mouth to reinforce both sides of my molars especially during lifting to allow some mild clenching
Are you planning to do more gym lift comparisons like the video on Ronnie Coleman's lifts? It would be cool to see the 315 lbs/143 kg shoulder press for reps.
Bear in mind Ronnie used partial range of motion for most of his shoulder presses/bench presses/bent-over rows.
Those partial reps without fucking locking out work best to keep muscle in constant tension
I do that too in shoulder press and it's better than locking out each rep
For dumbell press I do full lockout though
@@lukecullins9934you know about PEDs right???
Very inspiring thanks
Isn’t conjugate the same as any other training modality where you’ll only get hurt if you train not the smartest? I know Louie and Westside trained balls to the wall, but I’ve heard Matt Wenning, Mark Bell, and Dave Tate talk about taking a different approach to conjugate where it lowers the risk for injury and long term damage?
Great video as always Hoop, and i just bought your Airwaav and noticed a big difference for my first time. 💪
I really enjoyed listening to your speech.
That event line up at the Arnold was probably about the most brutal line up of events I’ve seen. Amazing performance!
Subscribed, and ordering airwaav mouth piece right now lol
Love this!
This was fantastic 👏🏻
Well said sir.
Very cool take on conjugate.
Very smart and articulate man
Slipped that f-bomb in. Decent. I enjoy your message. LHBK
I'm Mitchell Hooper.. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Seriously though, fantastic presentation, Mitch! Very informative as always. You're a great ambassador for the strength, health and fitness world 💪
If you're ever interested in facing a big fear the Ontario Highliners would love to train you up on slacklining. We've been rigging slacklines over the Elora gorge almost every weekend for about 8 years now so if you ever decide you want to give it a try we'll be around.
Absolutely fascinating watch. You are not just a strongman. Can’t wait to see where you take strongman.
I love how you present in shorts and a t shirt. Not only are you breaking records but breaking the norms while still making a great presentation! Did you drop an F bomb at 14:39? Lol.
Yes 😂
You should be the first strongman to be honest about using gear. Why not? Everyone knows and nobody cares. But everyone is dying to know what you use. John Hack gave his full cycle and everyone was like hell yes what a cool guy. Because in fairness its hard to take all the training advice serious because its not possible to do naturally. We are in a new era. Never be afraid to be honest.
Yeah, that missing "Step 6: PEDs" is the 300 lb gorilla in the room that he's purposefully ignoring for some reason. I resent the implication that someone can become WSM without steroids, as if being an athletic 350-400+ lbs at 25% body fat is something attainable for a natural athlete given they do the 5 things laid out in the presentation.
In this case, the genetic advantage is incomparably superior to that of PED use. Nobody is doubting whether the World Strongest Man uses gear, who cares.
@@theKashConnoisseur Yeah, he's saying he expects 2%-5% increases every week and then goes on to say that he always deloads after 4 or 5 weeks. Conservatively deloading every 4 weeks instead of 5 means he's expecting a compound increase of like 227% each year. Even if he's not compounding that's 82% per year, so a 315 squat going to a 573 squat? Either he's overly simplifying his own progress for rhetorical purposes or is ignoring that the average intermediate lifter is adding maybe 5-10 lbs per month to any given lift with competency.
I like Mitchell and obviously he knows what he's talking about but I struggle to see this as more than a coded sales pitch for AIRWAAV hidden in some general knowledge from an accomplished sponsored athlete. I hope otherwise but that's what I'm seeing.
It's better not to say anything as it will encourage people to use the same.
@@LawrenceTimme Steroids are more popular than ever. Being silent just makes people guess and use crazy amounts instead of being told a safe proven method. You have a very old man thought process. There is no logic behind your statement, its a kneejerk thought. Do you think that making drugs illegal stopped drug use? Or how about when they made alcohol illegal, did people stop drinking? Keeping silent or banning something is cowardly and ineffective. We all have the right to make our own choices and we should be open and honest so others can learn and be safe. Strong man is more popular than ever and its because drug use is more popular than ever. This guy wouldnt have ever won a competition without drugs.
Cpap? Thought I needed one. Lost some weight and it helped. Trying like crazy to lose more weight.
What a great man 💪💯
Would love to see you chat with Matt Wenning. He has a different version of conjugate than Simmons used and its much safer
Well done!
like many guys in the strongman sport you a CHAD!
You and Dan John could get along very well and contacting him might be highly benefical too you.
He is a former US-Olympian discus thrower, High-Land-Games athlete and is for century a track-and-field-coach, he is for hisself also big in longevity (he is sth. like 60 and still lifts weights + kettlebells).
He is also spreading a lot of free and frequent content + he is oldschool and has a lot of stuff seen. He suits your "lift heavy, be kind". You two would be my favourite guys for seeing you meet and see what comes out if it.
You are both athletes, Coaches and just good people who are improving the fitness industry.
Measure at his number of youtube suscribers he is massevly underrated.
I know, I’m only a few minutes in and keep thinking “this sounds like a Dan John presentation.
Refreshing to see a humble, educated, and genuine human being. This personality type is unfortunately rare in todays society. The internet is filled with Megalomaniac internet clown personalities.
Love to see a collaboration with Dr mike from RP
He's a fantastic and very gifted athlete, that is for sure. It is also worth remembering though that there's some juice, a loose, inside that moose!
that is insane that you used to run marathons and a few years later you won worlds strongest man.
You're a specimen dude
Australia is proud of you too mate
This is wild. I looked like he did in the thumbnail for years(running a lot as well) until i started bulking recently and ive just been blowing the hell up. This is super inspirational
and how much of your blowing up is pure fat, buttercake?
Hooper rocking the cut off TYR sweat pants!!!
Mitch, do you have any suggestions for training a strong core when you have an ostomy?
Stfu!
Full circle in so many ways!
so well spoken!
U are a big all time, front figure for all types of fitness.
Lets goo big man.
That was great!
love the new beard looks good on u
As a fellow graduate of sports science it's amazing to see someone in a top spot in sport who is articulate & well informed. So used to champs doing things that on paper are stupid but they win regardless so people get behind it 😂.
i felt exactly the same watching this video!
So, you're admitting that the hypothetical champs methods worked, because they are the champion. But you're calling the methods stupid because they weren't in your books. Ok just checking
@@SmedlyButler-cq5iq people can succeed regardless of training methods because they possess 0.01% genetics and a great work ethic.
Usain Bolt openly admitted his training partners all worked harder than him...
Have you ever watched his training?
Those same methods often don't work for the 99% percent.
I've worked with countless guys who for example have deadlifted 220kg+/near 500lb after 6-12 weeks training.
If you asked them how they'd say...
Go to the gym and do deadlifts 1x per week
Yet someone else might need to do some level of periodisation to achieve the same feat in a reasonable time frame.
I'm merely pointing out that in Mitchell Hoopers case his training seems scientifically sound and he can articulate it well. That doesn't mean he's not a genetic phenom.
@@SmedlyButler-cq5iq there are many champions that succeed in spite of their methods (that scientifically don't make sense).
0.01% genetics & hard work can take people right to the top whilst they do things that on paper aren't contributing much...
My comment was merely pointing out Hooper is a weird case where he's informed & a champ. He's not the only one ofcourse but there are more genetic phenoms spouting unhelpful info than not IMO.
If you want to run 100m sprint faster copying Usain Bolt might not be wise...
If you want to deadlift 220kg/500lb-ish kilograms asking the countless guys I've trained who just turned up to the gym for 12 weeks & practiced deadlifting to do so.. (6ft+ farm types)
Also might not work.
If you want to grow your arms asking Phil Heath might not be as useful as Eric Helms - but based on ranking/physique most will think the opposite.
I'm not discounting champions methods because they are champion.
I'm merely pointing out it's amazing to see someone articulate & well informed in the champion spot.
And I believe it will benefit the masses
Because most people follow the champs
And training like the champ often doesn't get people what they seek.
@@SmedlyButler-cq5iq no I'm merely pointing out that it's nice to see a champion who trains smart and can articulate their training & the science behind it.
Many champions are successful in spite of doing things that are sub optimal, doing nothing or even arguably detrimental.
The reason is 0.01% genetics and a solid work ethic can take someone to the top.
Scary to see lines from the C-pap machine on your face in that first clip- hope you can be here for a long time Mitch
Hey Mitch, I'm a big fan and I loved the video but I have a question for you. You say that you don't really like to do anything for recovery except for the 3 things you mentioned in your video, do you feel like this applies to you because you've only been doing strongman for a few years? You're still young and fresh in the sport so your body is able to adapt and recovery rather quickly on it's own but do you feel like 5/6 years down the line you're going to start feeling things because you didn't take that extra step to do a little more for recovery? I worked in the elevator industry for a few years and the mechanics who were doing it for 10/15 years were all beat up. They had bum shoulders, back problems, couldn't walk right but the guys who were young and were only doing it for a few years were in good health. When I really started training heavy in my early 20s I never really warmed up or stretched or anything and now 12 years later I'm good for the most part but my back does get pretty tight sometimes and I've had shoulder issues but it makes me think if I would of done more in my 20s maybe I would have been better off. What is your take on this?
Thank you!
he's a top AAS responder. put your mechanics on slightly higher than normal T and then spend 80% on rehab.
If ur not good at something u have 2 go and do it
So smart.
I love 2 learn more than 2 know..hmm that wad deep
Mitchell's accent is like 10% northern England, it's very interesting. it sneaks out now and then
I would like to know what is your association with the Airwaav mouth piece? Obviously you use one but are you doing commercial cooperation with them? Would like the transparency when you hype for this "one amazing training aid". Thanks and much respect and love to you!
yes he is in commercial cooperation
That segment was really weird...
There's no reason to buy an Airwaav that I can see. The claimed performance enhancements come from the jaw being bite-aligned (which the teeth achieve naturally) and from the neuromuscular feedback of isometrically tensing the jaw muscles by biting down. Neither require a mouthpiece to begin with, but if someone desires to use one as a training aid, there's no reason why an inexpensive, properly molded mouthguard would perform differently.
@@Damzified I thought so too. Like a real life ad in the middle of a presentation. Pretty awkward.
Pure and awesome!
Dorian Yates is the only elite athlete who i have heard who acknowledges how important genetics are. i think it's the case that many athletes don't actually realise how much their genetics are better lol it's why a lot of them thank God for their talents... it's like a kind of rationalisation.
we can ALL get BETTER with the right type of training, discipline, rest, diet etc but some people could have dogshit training and diet and STILL radically out-perform others who do everything perfectly. Genetics seem to be like 95% of the game - and anyone that wants to kneejerk deny this just consider what percentage of the population are of the same height as the average WSM winner. that is ONE variable...
Excellent content
I love it when the good guys make it.
what about PEDs
IF he used them they would have been part of this talk, otherwise it would be quite dishonest.
@@vids595You think he is clean? 😂 still believe in Santa too probably
I definitely agree with the entrepreneurial classes. I have a masters in kinesiology and lack skills on how to sell my service. Great speech. I will be at the Arnold Classic this coming 2024. I hope to be able to meet you.
man I love this guy.
Not directly on the topic of the video, but I have been contemplating this for a few days and decided to ask you. Is it possible one of the reasons you have done so well is because of your marathon training? The stress the events place on not your body, but your cardiovascular system too. Meaning, recovery is a huge way to increase performance during the competitions. Many of the competitors have their "strength", but you have come in almost every time the top 3, which means, I believe you can retain your strength and/or recover it quicker than others. And having a background in running marathons means your body is used to a high level of stress and strain that others have not had to endure.
The most chill, best spoken, humble strong man ever.
Bro that's badass to walk in a room where your former classmates are sitting and you're the strongest man on earth.
