I think training environment has to play a big role too. I've been lifting "seriously" with programming for about five years. My deadlift, for example, was like 295 on a trap bar last year. Then I joined a strongman club. A few weeks ago I pulled a comfortable 405 on a straight bar. I don't think that huge jump is because I'm some athletic freak... I just didn't know what lifting heavy actually was, what an RPE 8ish is supposed to feel like. Having some experienced lifters around, cheering you on, giving you some pointers and confidence, can make a huge difference too!
I once heard something that I really liked. When training, most can become "the strong one" in your group of friends, your community etc. Don't need to be all or nothing with becoming the world's strongest. And that is a really cool goal.
Mitch literally took the sport by storm.. his training is on another level and the thought process put into all his lifts is awesome..Worlds and Arnold’s in the same year!! A massive bonus to the strongman world having Mitch apart of it.. 💪
Log press today 300lbs. With 2-5% gains every 6 months for the next five years my goal is 445lb log press. By then I’ll be 30. Previously I set a lifetime goal for 400lbs log press. Thank you for the encouragement Mitch. You are an inspiration
Divide your programme into smaller periods helps for me. 10 heavy sessions per period and breaking it up with a reflection on how the period went, if I have to continue what I'm doing or changing it up when things don't work like they used to. For me this is one of the best ways to keep track and stay close to optimal progression.
Mitch Hooper is to me the Evolution of the sport, he has Brian Shaws' brain and possibly better, Martins Licis versatility, Oleksi's adaptability, Mateusz Kiloskowski's power in motion and enough deadlift grunt to make JF. C take notice. The guy is going to be hard to beat for anyone end of story.
I lost a decade of training time due to getting boom boomed in Iraq, multiple surgeries, and the subsequent opiate addiction which turned really really bad; fentanyl and coke to the tune of $700 a day. Got soner and weighed 100# when I weighed 207 in the army. Took two or three years to learn to eat again and started training during that time. I consider myself an intermediate lifter again. I did your calculator trick. Am I happy with thkse numbers? No. Are they realistic being 42yo now and ending at 47. Probably. I'll be satisfied with that progress but not happy knowing I should be able to lift more. But I do feel good knowing what I've over come. Going from having to relearn how to walk 2x to being able to run five miles at a ten minute a mile pace and a single mile in under eight minutes and currently deadlifting 355#. I love your content, very grounded and inspirational.
Boy math is such a genius term you're the first one I hear speaking about this so truthfully. Also the graph you're thinking about is actually a square root
With the "you need to be close to what your capable of recovering from" to add to that, you can progressivly overload your workload. I took around 8 months where I added more volume, more volume than was comfortable and then when it became comfortable I added even more volume, I overloaded the volume. I didn't really get "stronger" in terms of 1 RM but I was able to recover faster between sets, I was able to do more sets without fatiguing. I went from that guy who was doing your standard 3x3s to the guy people go up saying "Man, I wish I could handle as much volume as you do". This has had carry over where I am now able to pull this volume back, recover better and get more value out of my strength training. So if you think your someone who can't handle a high work load, maybe it's just because you've not trained yourself to be able to.
Yea! That “manifestation” idea is a moose dropping! I think this is so great for me to hear and even better for the youngsters out there. My goal is to be consistent and work hard. Thanks, Champ!
Excellent advice as always! I know for me, stress was a big factor in my training. I trained for 2 years while going to college and a host of other stresses that was drastically killing my recovery, making very little progress. Once I graduated and got into a better situation, my lifts skyrocketed the year after. Lifetime achievement goal is getting my pro strongman card in either US Strongman or Strongman Corp. Keep up the great content!
I always respect the honesty when it comes to genetics and doing whats best for you, you really make sure people feel confident in their lane as opposed to delusional.
hugely man, I gave myself really bad patellofemoral pain trying to chase strongman strength, when I should have been focusing more on my personal strength as more of a thin framed guy. You've helped me to understand not to force something. @@mitchellhooperstrongman
Deadlift twice my own weight, 80kg. One of my first goals , i never deadlift, have been doing only body weight and martial arts training for a long time. But i really love strongman and it got met excited to lift again.
Current goal: at least a 400 lb conventional deadlift by the end of this year. (anything more, i will be more than happy/satisfied) I think it is a reasonable goal for me. Yesterday i was able to do a 385 lb deadlift for the first time after 2 weeks of just failing it!! I have about a year of training in the gym, starting last year near the beginning of my freshman year with the open free school gym, but i started practicing deadlifts during mid august (so about 2-3 months ago). My form can still a little work, but your videos really help out with my progress, mr. hooper.
it sounds so obvious but, do the basics very well, over a long period of time, what do i mean? 1: sleep, eat, hydrate, relax. nothing else else in recovery matters if these things aren't optimized. but pay attention to things like how often do you wake up at night to pee, are you missing any micronutrients, are you getting in enough electrolytes, is there some way in your life you can reduce stress outside of the gym. 2; stop exercising, and start training. killing yourself in the gym every time and leaving absolutely nothing left in the tank every time is not conducive to progress. do what is necessary to drive progress and then go home. 3; slow progress is fast progress. making large, 20lb jumps is unsustainable, what is sustainable, is a 5lb PR once a month, if you start with 135lbs on the bar as a novice and add 5lbs a month for 10 years that's a 735lb deadlift. yes i know that there will be months you don't make PR's, but even if you miss a year, you end up at 675lbs. that is unbelievably strong for a natural lifter.
I definitely progressed more than 20% in first 6months so no wonder I got injured 😅😂. But thx to your videos I definitely feel like I am doing more proper workouts and not over do it like I was
I went from 6th place in my novice SM comp to 3rd place this year. My goal is to hit 1st place next year. I'm proud of myself considering I'm not as big as a lot of the guys I work with. Genetically speaking, I was built for stamina/running, not big muscles lol.
My current goal is to be consistent. Sticking to ly programme and not letting boredom get in the way and not getting distracted by other stuff. I want to stick to this fucking thing and try to progress at that. I cannot physically progress at everything even if I want to, but I’ll progress at nothing if I don’t stick to something.
super impressed with your achievements! you seem to have a much better cardio and athletic foundation (agility, balance, quickness) than most strongman competitors, would you agree with that statement and do you feel that gives you a competitive advantage?
It’s hard to give advice when I don’t have all the information! If you watch videos from my rogue prep, you’ll find some helpful videos as I dealt with a back injury the entire prep. Hope that helps 💪
Yes Logarithmic is the correct term. If you search for "logarithmic vs exponential graph" and check out the pictures, you can see that the graphs are indeed reversed.
love you and all but logarithmic is NOT the word you're looking for. logarithmic graph reflects the exponential graph around the x=y line, not the x axis. what you were looking for is more along the lines of y=-e(-x)+c (an exponential but coming from below and having an asymptote above it at 'y=c', a 'genetic potential')
I think beyond advanced there is an Elite level and increases diminish even more, and there are then trade-off's in progression for one lift with maintenance or even regression in another
Excellent. What I am missing As an intermediate is creating that actual routine that I need to follow. Without it, I sort of fall into the “just going to the gym” trying to figure out through RUclips videos..
Is it possible to be intermediate in some lifts but novice in others? For example I have done bench press, rows, bicep curls, tricep extensions. overhead press, and leg extension for years as an adjunct to martial arts training. Within the past couple years I decided to add deadlifts and back squats, and recently got a power rack so I could squat without overhead pressing the weight onto my shoulders. I think of myself as a novice in squat and deadlift, but have been doing some kind of weight training for many years. I suspect the potential gains will be muscle group specific rather than systemic, although I'm sure the leg extensions and horse stance training history helps somewhat with squat and deadlift. I don't neatly fit into the categories you outlined, and I'm sure there are other people in similar situations. Any metrics or predictions?
I dunno Mitch - a year into training and I'm still making surprising gains thanks to Strong 1.0 and Strongman Offseason 😀 Setting realistic goals after a 1:1 with you meant I was able to hit all of them this year and set equally realistic ones for next year.
Ive always lifted a bit at the gym but was limited by bad hips, so no suqats or deadlifts. Now that I have had both hips replaced and I can do squats and deadlifts and I went from the bar and 10# during rehab to 245# squats and 265# deadlifts in about two years. Im on year three and have been stuck at the 265# mark so I think Im past the quick easy gains part and really focusing on a consistant process. LHBK
hi mitchell i have only been lifting for 1 1/2 yrs and ive been having a hard time to get past 105kg for my deadlift. any suggestions how i can breakthrough and get stronger with my deadlift.
Does this depend on age? I'm 20, I've been lifting since 16, am i still an advanced lifter despite still not having peak testosterone and muscle mass etc?
I think we all need a couple of years to learn that the process is slow, and it should be. Less likely to cause injury, more likely to keep the gains coming consistently for longer, more opportunity for the body to adapt and catch up to the constant abuse. There's no shame in adding the smallest plates to your deadlift, progress isn't measured in red plates and round numbers. As a 40 year old lifter, I'm very good at not giving a f about what the gym bros think of my 2.5kg weight jumps. Come back when you've had 3 microdiscectomies and we'll talk.
The reverse engineering tip is great. in the current social media landscape it can be difficult to appreciate how far you've come since starting, which is a shame because improving yourself is the goal
If you check out my video “Who is Mitchell Hooper” I take a deep dive into everything leading up to my debut at worlds in 2022! I showcase numbers and every sport I played leading up to:)
Would you be willing to talk about steroid use in strongman at some point? Pros/cons to using them, at what level is someone expected to be using them, etc. Thank you!
Going from 50kg bench to 60kg bench in 6 months is dead so a 20% increase in strenght is like wtf are you doing man. 50kg to 90kg in 6 months is really good or even to 80 I think 80 is the minimum or else you're doing stuff wrong.
its refreshing to hear someone with genetic advantages to say that not everyone can do what he did at the clip that he did it. Annoying as fuck when I have to listen to mf like lebron saying "AnYbOdY cAn Do ThiS".
None of your videos about progress, what should a healthy male lift etc seem to apply to me. Nothing makes sense as I'm not small, short, weird limb lengths or whatever. Really demoralising stuff :/. I get like 5kg increases on lifts every 4 months minimum
What are you currently doing for training? Are you following a structured program? How often do you test maxes? There are so many variables to consider when getting stronger. My best advise would be to follow some sort of structured program (if you aren’t already) to take the guessing out of it!
@@mitchellhooperstrongman yeah exactly, too many variables. Lack of equipment I want and desire to use like axel bars etc, getting there. I'll consider a program and get back to you. Obviously any recommendations for a young guy doing strongman/strength training would help, not really into powerlifting specifically
Sorry if there was confusion - I wasn’t targeting anyone! What I meant is that if I was a giant (genetically gifted to be the strongest in the world) but didn’t take advantage of it and only beat people marginally, how proud can I be. Both Thor and Brian took full advantage of their genetics and dominated in strongman. The point I was trying to get across is that you should be proud of putting in the work regardless of your genetics.
I just want to be World's Strongest Me!
That’s winning 💪💪
I want to be the World's Strongest you, as well!
I’m the worlds weakest me😢

Yes Logarithmic is the correct term. If you search for "logarithmic vs exponential graph" and check out the pictures, you can see that the graphs are indeed reversed.
A logarithmic function is the inverse of a exponential function. So yeah, you're right.
50 yrs, 5'10 1/3, 185#
Deadlift 5x255, Squat 5x230.
Feels like intermediate, hard to push progress.
I just want to be the strongest me. Almost 49 years old and strongest i have ever been but there's still room to improve.
Wise words 👏👏👏👏👏

Great video. I'm definitely guilty of reverse engineering my lifts >.
I want to bench 90kg, deadlift 170kg and squat 130kg before I'm 50 in 2 years
It doesn’t seem out of reach depending on what your current lifts are 💪💪
Does this depend on age? I'm 20, I've been lifting since 16, am i still an advanced lifter despite still not having peak testosterone and muscle mass etc?
i want people to see me and think "that guys looks strong". also just being fit. thats a good one too.

What about if youvr not been consistently lifting for 10 years?? Back to a newbie?
Manifest that $#!t even though that doesn't work 😅😅 that's awesome 😅.
Agreed just have to put in consistent hard work over time
Great tips. Reverse engineering has always been my number 1 mistake.
how about you lock out your overhead presses. do the events correctly
logarithmic is correct!

What I meant is that if I was a giant (genetically gifted to be the strongest in the world) but didn’t take advantage of it and only beat people marginally, how proud can I be. Both Thor and Brian took full advantage of their genetics and dominated in strongman.
The point I was trying to get across is that you should be proud of putting in the work regardless of your genetics.
@@mitchellhooperstrongman I got that but for the love of strongman be careful of that stuff ie Arnold win didn't mean much
