    Awesome video! Being able to deadlift your bodyweight for reps safely with good form is a great achievement especially compared to the non lifter! Obviously self vs self is the most important. A good reminder in the social media world where instagram would have us believing everyone is pulling over 700 and benching 500😆😆. Very positive video! Thanks Mitchell!

    Really enjoyed this more down to earth realistic video, I find myself getting a bit demotivated by all the influencers you see nowadays who look massive and lift crazy weights, because they are either on steriods, top 1% genetics or have been working out 10 years / get to work out everyday since its their job. Really nice to see regular people and both male/female do these sorts of challenges to get a more realistic perspective on things. Also gonna try this out later this week on my leg day!

An amrap at bodyweight would be fun... absolutely soul destroying but fun.

You are suuuuchhhh a nice guy down to the earth that really enjoy working and interacting with all kinds of people. Open to speak of topics really to everything that many are so sensitive to even mention.
    I think you have done such an amazing job of being an ambassador of your sport, health, and care of others.

      @@mitchellhooperstrongman 165 for 30, maybe couldn’t have done a couple more, I was gassed and had a full workout ahead of me. I’m happy with what I did.

    I could probably manage a set of 10-12 (250 pounds). I've been deadlifting about 2 months now and did 4x7 at 225 a few days ago. My legs are really strong so it's mostly a question of when my back will get tired or when I'd gas out.
