Fortissimus was always a true strength event, great to see Shaw pick up the torch and keep it moving forward. I can't wait for the Shaw Classic to find out who the strongest man on earth is. Good luck brother!
shaw went back to his OG way's, truly gonna leave it all out on the table, its sad to think he's retiring but after that hospital scare, I think Shaw knows too
@@jonsmith9728 He looks hungry in his training that's for sure, making up for his set back at worlds. I'm happy that he is "retiring" and spending more time with his family, it's a very selfish sport, he has accomplished it all, time for the next stage.
@@atodaso1668 this feels like drew brees and tom brady retiring ( yeah I'm old enough to remember the entire 90's bulls dream team, I'm from Chicago too if that helps at all lol) when you know they were the best that the sport will ever see in a long while, still though completely agree
Hit like as soon as I saw the notification. Don’t need to watch first to know it’s gonna be solid. You’re killing it! Can’t wait to see your SC performance.
Take grip out of the conversation and Trey is one of the top guys for sure. Best of luck Mitch, love seeing you win go get it! And fucking insane log mate.
Wow that gave me energy just watching it. The PBs the honesty about other contestants, the positive attitude and genuineness. The epic music... wow. Nice one
maan this mitchell hooper, lifts heavy, is kind and what a monster on putting out the videos on youtube, man is a delivery-service in itself, for sure for sure
who designed your fingers mate , i think they're great for training , , you are a great athlete with good work ethics , and a fantastic producer of your content ,
Amazing! In the off season you should do a collaboration with Magnus Midtbō and Anton Fomenco. Magnus is a retired climber and pound for pound, he may be as strong as you lol. He comes to the US often, and both he and Anton have the same kind of vibe on their channels. Eddie and Larry have done collabs with Magnus, and I would love to see you outdo them thoroughly lol! So proud of you!! ❤ from Canada
I'll tell you what Mitch Hooper is a true champion 🏆. He is on a mission to be the world's strongest man and the strongest man on earth 🌎 in the same year(plus Arnold's). That's how Legends are made. Lift heavy and be kind. What a hero of strength
You didn't mention (or I totally missed it) how your bench press was progressing. That 200kg log (both times) was a nice lift. I imagine knowing that your going super excited on comp day and ready to set some PR's, your in a real good place three week out. *EDIT* The fingers looked really good too. Seems you figured out what works for you.
Can’t wait for shaw classic. I love that show. Nothing but heavy events. Everyone gets to compete in everyone. If Mitch wins this than holy crap, he will probably be the fittest, strongest man ever.
Glade to see the progress, sadly my military press is half your log press weight lol (kinda hit a snag at 225lb), keep up the great work though, and I'm glade your entering Shaw's final event, I think he knows it too with retirement, that being said leave nothing out but your best
"LH BK": Lift Heavy, Be Kareful! That Fingal Finger Woody is a killing machine -- I hope they rig it with a safety chain to ratchet as it is lifted to vertical. Just in case of a drop; that thing could seriously injure someone. Or, just never slip and drop it...
Feels like the Shaw will be a great test for Mitch, I am in no way saying that his year has been a fluke BUT seeing the rest of the competitive field being healthy and in shape is going to be really interesting.
That’s awesome that the log is first event. Luke might be able to get some redemption after underperforming to his standards in recent overhead events. He seems to be having trouble recovering between events which seemingly has hurt his calling card.
Would it not make sense to shape the finger so that it’s round like in competition? That way you can train in as close to competition as possible, and not have to worry about different mechanics in your hand position come comp time
@@mitchellhooperstrongman it’s all good. Found a dog sitter for Eddie and traveling over from the UK this week. Also got a stand to promote my Charity (Wonder Wards). I’ve been told it’s next to yours. So it’ll be great to meet you again 👍
Trey and Bobby are the people to beat in the log. I think Luke has gone downhill recently in the log sadly. I think a few others will do great performances, like Tom and Evan, but those are the 2 for the log I have as the favorites.
Man I just want to deadlift 405 that would put me near top 5 in my university gym here Mitch is log pressing more then that I hate my genes keep it going Mitch
The grind on that lift was superhuman.
💪💪
Great chioce of string instruments on the music while lifting!...I almost cried!

Ooooff,, felt those cleans... Damn.
Cant wait to watch the Classic.
Stay Healty and strong.

Appreciate you 💪
What an unbelievable performance and lifts! Hopefully #1 and Shaw Classic, fingers crossed Mitch!
💪💪
Fingals crossed*
@@mitchellhooperstrongmanall the best brother
Looking great thanks for letting us tag along
Thanks for watching!💪
Take grip out of the conversation and Trey is one of the top guys for sure. Best of luck Mitch, love seeing you win go get it! And fucking insane log mate.
Looking great Hoops! Also, big cred to your videographer, enjoyd the build up and the background music!
Much appreciated! 💪
Wow that gave me energy just watching it. The PBs the honesty about other contestants, the positive attitude and genuineness. The epic music... wow. Nice one
Glad you enjoyed it!💪💪
Loz said you were stepping it up ;-) best of luck!
Man you're looking good. The Shaw is going to be fun!
💪💪
The bounce from those drop pads!
👀👀
Has anyone ever been hurt by the log bouncing up and hitting them in the face? I looks like it definitely could happen.
Go get 'em Mitch! We're all behind you.
Appreciate you 💪
That music choice was a great match for the log pressing 🎵 Great job bro
maan this mitchell hooper, lifts heavy, is kind and what a monster on putting out the videos on youtube, man is a delivery-service in itself, for sure for sure
💪💪
Winning the World's Strongest Man and Strongest Man on Earth would be awesome!
You are an inspiration to us all, keep growing, keep progressing, you’re changing the world.
Digging the new intro's! They have been great!
Love to hear it 💪💪
Hi I had Mitch,Tom,Trey,Evan, Brian as my top 5 (in no particular order) then I realised Oleskii is going to be ther❤
👀👀
What kind of sick gym plays the food channel on the televisions.
who designed your fingers mate , i think they're great for training , , you are a great athlete with good work ethics , and a fantastic producer of your content ,

Maybe one day!
I'm going to Shaw! Hope to see you there and meet you and get a picture!

There will be bench videos to come out before Shaw!
with all the dancing after those cleans to still hit those presses are amazing💯💪
DUDE!!!...amazing lifts...wishing you the best...and smash the new PBs at the comp!
Great lift , love your content.
Glad you enjoy it!💪💪
Love the positivity when talking about the other competitors being on 🔥
Can’t wait for shaw classic. I love that show. Nothing but heavy events. Everyone gets to compete in everyone. If Mitch wins this than holy crap, he will probably be the fittest, strongest man ever.
Shout out for the music timing. I was curious what was building and it was a 200kg log press 👏❤
Good luck at shaw classic Moose. I'm American but ur a hard dude to root against lol!
💪💪
Nice work! Looking forward to seeing you at the Shaw!
I would be curious to know what Olympic sport Mitch would like to compete in and which one he would pick up the easiest as a skill
👀👀
Any of the throwing events would be really cool - shotput, discus, etc
I love the training vids!! Please keep them up and a great job as always to Fabien
I love the Moose country sign. I would think the wood finger is more difficult than the round to get square under! Looking great.
Love the shirt, hope you release a tank top variety sooner than later. Stay strong and kind!
I'm ready to see a Shaw Classic 1st place podium!
I'm over here, same height as Mitch while strugglin' with 50kg... You're a beast! Looking forward to follow the journey 🏋♂
The background music was a nice touch!
this is the content I subbed for
Love to hear it 💪

Tom has come a long way in his pressing, I wonder which of the 2 of you are better
I’m soooo bloody impressed you were able to still hit that final single after that horrible clean, I was thinking he’s gotta be cooked. Respect!
love from montreal mitchell youre amazing
Your in great shape 👍. Best of luck 👍.
Your Log press is looking really and you really worked for that. Seeing you demonstrate the Fingal's finger just reminded me of Spiderman 🤦♂
How the hell did you hold the log up for that long on your chest 😱
The man brother 💪
Phenomenal attitude and athletic spirit :D
"LH BK": Lift Heavy, Be Kareful! That Fingal Finger Woody is a killing machine -- I hope they rig it with a safety chain to ratchet as it is lifted to vertical. Just in case of a drop; that thing could seriously injure someone. Or, just never slip and drop it...
I’m the only person who uses it! 💪
Mitch firing on all 12 cylinders is a scary sight 🦍
Good work keep it up! Super impressive stuff! Cool to see you training for new things and weak spots.
More to come! 💪
Seriously epic stuff here man, picked up one of the LHBK shirts last week and can't wait to see how you perform at the Shaw Classic!!
Love to hear it 💪💪
Shaw Classic 23 champion! Mitchell Hooper!
I enjoyed this video. Given the content and the moment the music was also a nice touch. Go Moose!
Agreed. I like the music this one.
I’ll pass the positive feedback along to Fabian 💪
Great video yet again 💪🏻
Let’s go Mitchell!👏👏
Good to see you getting back to strongman
Buzz Lightyear training on Woody is beautifully poetic.
💪💪
Feels like the Shaw will be a great test for Mitch, I am in no way saying that his year has been a fluke BUT seeing the rest of the competitive field being healthy and in shape is going to be really interesting.
Making us Canadians proud Mitch! 💪
💪💪
Fantastic background music😊
💪💪
That’s awesome that the log is first event. Luke might be able to get some redemption after underperforming to his standards in recent overhead events. He seems to be having trouble recovering between events which seemingly has hurt his calling card.
Sadly Luke is past his prime and will probably pull out after 4 events
The music adds a nice touch
💪💪
smashed it fairplay 👌👊
the music was perfect
Can't wait for your clash with Martins!
Wow!
Great video man, I loved the music! glhf
Lift kind be heavy.
#LHBK
Where can we watch the Shaw's ? Is anyone producing a live feed ?
Honestly as an American I'd like to see Trey go 3 for 3 but my God it's hard not to be a fan of Hooper. Good luck!
❤
how much caffeine do you ingest on training days?!
💪💪💪💪
Big love Mich
Morning big man.
💪💪
You can probably be a plate loader for clash on the coast now.
This is moose country on the gym wall was awesome to see.
Would it not make sense to shape the finger so that it’s round like in competition? That way you can train in as close to competition as possible, and not have to worry about different mechanics in your hand position come comp time
Have to work with what is available.
So gutted I can’t be there. I had a VIP ticket too. But unfortunately can’t find a dog sitter and I gotta put the boy first. But best of luck Mitch.
Thanks Mate
@@mitchellhooperstrongman it’s all good. Found a dog sitter for Eddie and traveling over from the UK this week. Also got a stand to promote my Charity (Wonder Wards). I’ve been told it’s next to yours. So it’ll be great to meet you again 👍
Sending some love to woody
💪💪
Those crash pads have a lot of bounce to them. God help the unsuspecting person using them for log
Get a pad on a tall trolley/wheeled block for Woody like at worlds if you can. Remember your not invincible
The infamous “sketchy” finger is back!
🙄🙄
Hey, only one of them is visibly cracked so were good right? 😃
Man is that shirt anabolic.
I'm guessing that the max will be 440 for 2 reps but that just a hunch...
🤫🤫
500th like, this means I’ll hit a 500lb press someday for sure
Same same
Wait. Do you not listen to music when working out?
Not usually.
Trey and Bobby are the people to beat in the log. I think Luke has gone downhill recently in the log sadly. I think a few others will do great performances, like Tom and Evan, but those are the 2 for the log I have as the favorites.
wasn't worried bout you not getting the lifts, rather than getting knocked out by the bouce backs! train safe.
440❤
205 kg
Then a 440? Jesus.. did you only have sleeves on?
The caffeine canuck, lets go
If you haven't already, I think you should work up to a double of Ben and Jerry's Churr-eh for Churros. Yeah buddy
Every time that log bounces of the pads I'm scared it's going to come and and chin you.
How did that finger pass a risk assessment aha
Man I just want to deadlift 405 that would put me near top 5 in my university gym here Mitch is log pressing more then that I hate my genes keep it going Mitch
