Really like this guy. His teaching style is my jam. Explains the reasoning behind everything and not obnoxiously loud or overly animated about it. Just calm and collected
@@DagonFF Well Idunno, with stone lifting, ankle mobility is definitely useful, cause you can drop slightly lower with more comfort and as weird as it may sound, extra comfort in a stone lift is gonna help you lift more when you're at their level.
@@MedievalSolutions for sure some ankle mobility very useful. But the level of mobility of the Olympic lifter is far beyond what would be useful for stone lift I feel. The amount of work that Mitch would need to put to achieve that next level might harm the rest of his overall conditioning. Strongman is such an all around endeavor and I feel any extreme adaptation has a big trade-off
Mitch getting trash talked about his shaky overhead incline chest press lockout technique, so what does Mitch do? He train split jerk and outmatches every competitor by a large margin on the Arnold log without leaving a single doubt about a shaky lockout. That’s a true champion and legend right here.
Reminds me of Kobe Bryant studying everyone in the NBA and even studied alot others outside his sport. We're definitely witnessing greatness. What a hardworking champion does.
@@chancefluke7833 its absolute strenght, every event required technique, if you dont take advantage of it you are dumb, maybe that wouldnt be allowed at some point, like figure 8 strap at the 2017 deadlift event, since it save you 2 inches of lifting
The way he corrected mitches balance in the anchor squat was a sign of a great trainer. Had imbalance on the first 3 reps, then literally he gave two cues and he was bang on after 👏 Using the right cues is make or break when getting someone to understand how to move
Love that Mitch keeps the beginner mindset and brings in all different subject natter experts to learn from. This is (one of) the reasons why he's dominating!
Wow this is one of your best videos ever! Sonny Webster is a seriously good teacher, I loved the way he explained everything and he is clearly VERY knowledgeable about this topic!
What you said at the end of the video- I firmly believe you have the best technical execution of any strongman I’ve ever seen. You’re extremely efficient in your movements.
Seeing Rob Kearney always do the split jerk for over head always made me wonder why more haven’t tried it. Seeing the WSM do it and use it to help win the Arnold was great.
Mitch showing why he's winning, because he's improving his actual technique. And everybody else gets so jealous that they want to change the rules. And yes, it's similar to the Springbok Rugby Team's reserves being used like an entire new squad. It's just how you use your brain.
@@chancefluke7833 why is it cheating???? Its allowed, anyone can do it, he isnt using special equipement, most use leg drive now, is that cheating too? If you followed him a bit you would understand that he always studies what more effecient and not just do what other did for no reason. Btw cheating is not allowed, and this was, so obviously it wasnt cheating
Mitch came to take over. This Man will smash every World Strongest Man Competitions in the next Years. Hes the smartest, strongest and athletic Strongman ever
Awesome video. We are seeing the the evolution of strength competition. Adapt to compete or, Applaud from the stands to those who are brave enough to do the work.
I saw you taking some inspiration from this in the overhead press at Arnolds and instantly realised you had taken a little from the discipline of olympic lifters. Your approach to strongman is different than the rest and it shows. Keep shocking the world. Stay strong, lift heavy, be Kind. From a Fan
Really love how Mitch is really open minded to learn new things to improve his game and efficiency. Olympic lifters are the most efficient persons to the overhead a barbell and no matter whatever people complain you will be able to lift more weight when you jerk due to technical supremacy. If you look at the lighter weight strongman/woman you can observe how efficient people are at moving things especially how people jerk to put even logs overhead. The same thing will apply to heavier strongman for they aren't special snowflakes. The only thing they need to dedicate some time to improve their mobility. And people whining about how jerk is cheating are the ones who is not ready to put in the time to learn it. An investment in proper mobility and movement efficiency pays its dividends in the longer run regardless of the sport. Keep exploring and break the limits Mitch Hooper.
One thing about Mitch he seems smarter and more open to new techniques than other strongmen. Mobility really takes a powerful strongman to the next level.
Great vid. As an oly lifter turned strongman, the axle was easily my best event. Just a tip: for a stiff bar like an axle, use a deeper dip than you would with a whippy oly bar.
Fantastic video and highly informative. More tools for the toolbox and I very much appreciate you taking the time to provide this knowledge. Best of luck!
Mitch learned it the right way going to an Olympic lifter for coaching. You cannot learn these lifts watching RUclips, that's how Crossfitters end up dropping the bar on their heads
@@TheMortalKombatentno you cannot learn how to lift from RUclips. You may think you can by watching videos of yourself and comparing but you have no idea what your even looking at because nubies have no idea what to actually look for, you can't see the small mistakes that lead to big problems and you certainly have no idea how to fix them
@@bdegrds but eventually you will no longer be a noobie. It will just take triple the time but you can still learn. I'm not saying you can become great tho.
Everyone who watched this video just learned something about Olympic lifting. Olympic lifters also hurt themselves doing these lifts, they are not immune to mistakes or poor form. What are you on about?
It’s always been difficult for me to get my big feet to leave the earth and reset in a technical and athletic way while lifting a barbell overhead. This video helps. Thank you
Cant wait to try the rolling the bar behind my head! Unfortunately still recovery post op distal bicep tear. My new SSB bar is supposed to be here today. Gotta work on developing some of those Moose Quads while my arm is recovering!
Novikov has already used the split-jerk for the flinstone bar in 2022. Back then I was already wondering, why nobody else did the split-jerk in strongman.
I switched to Olympic lifting about 10 years ago.....its a lonely sport in most gyms, a lot of funny looks and some people asking you questions, but, its infectious and great fun. Mobility is THE biggest challenge to it. Approximately 30% of training, if you're not mobile enough, should bevon that aspect. Mitch is smart learning this technique, most strongmen are way behind him.
What cool methods of training. This shows just how many complex small seemingly unrewarding movements must be performed to unlock a elite level of performance.
I always thought strongmen competitors were somewhat dumb for not learning how to jerk properly after seeing Koklyaev do it like 15 years ago and observing that it was allowed on the log and axle press. I mean they see weightlifters at half their bodyweight lift more overhead than they ever could and they can't figure out that it might be worth the effort to learn the technique? It's like a close to free 20-25% boost over a push press, come on... 🤦🏼♂ Props to you, Mitchell, for using your brain first and your muscles second, none of your competitors is likely to beat that combination. Also, considering how high you were catching that axle at the Arnold and the room for technical improvement that you still had, you'll be an unstoppable force on those overhead events in the future, as long as your clean can keep up!
I have a similar build to Mithcell. I was also a runner when I was younger, but nowhere near Mitchells' level. I'm only 1.7 meters tall, but strength is somehow my thing, and especially pushing. My gym powerlift max is now 630kg, but i keep grinding. I'm glad someone like Mitchell has stepped up and I'm amazed by the deadlift in particular
Funny seeing people complain about split jerks. Sumo deadlifts are not more technical than conventional, they simply load your adductors and glutes more while decreasing the range of motion. Split jerks on the other hand have both technical and power requirements that counterbalance the simplicity of a push press. I didn't see anyone whine about how Mateusz' viper pressing on the log is easier in terms of raw pressing power because of the non-trivial technical requirements to pull that off. Lastly, as a casual viewer I want to see strongmen lift as much weight above their head as humanly possible, not struggle with what is a warm-up for an elite heavyweight Olympic lifter. Strongman competitions already have strict pressing events, and if you're going to allow the use of legs, I want to see big numbers.
@@mitchellhooperstrongman Definitely felt a bit sheepish when front rack position was brought up :P. I was definitely a fingertip Andy, tomorrow i'll play around with my front rack position using some of the cues given here :D
Mitch says he's not the strongest ...he just executes better than the rest. I agree, but I think Mitch is also mentally tougher than everyone else. Certain competitive events like the Dinny stones, and farmers walk have a lot more to do with pain management/acceptance than they do with who's stronger. Mitch is the master at that.
Loved the masterclass of the lift at the Arnold's Mitch BUT i feel they need to ditch the clean and jerk, my reason is its a shoulder press event to see who has the strongest shoulders, again you played by the rules and won... loved it but again i feel it needs to change. Good luck in the UK Arnold's i will be there cheering you on bud.
I don’t know what was more impressive, sonny’s ankle mobility or his effortless behind neck press while in a full squat. I think the reason we rarely see a split jerk is because people were trolled for it like Rob Kearney and Koklayev sayong you’re not strong enough or man enough to press it with shoulders. Trying to remember who talked down Rob Kearneys USA log record saying it shouldn’t count?
I used to wonder why everyone just push pressed in the axle press, and other similar strongman lifts. I just assumed that jerking the thicker bar was less practical or something.
I am still waiting for you to actually start to develop a squat clean (or a hang squat clean) with the axle. I have the feeling if you manage to find a way you will get FAR better than you already are. Cool to see all the stuff you have done so far
this vid was cool but wanted to take a sec to address your subscriber count... wanted to say congrat's on surpassing 150K, the main individual (one keltie o'conner) thought she'd never surpass 60K, now she's about to cross 600K.... point i'm bringing this up is, as idk what your goals for this channel are but never underestimate the outcomes, Keltie (sry mitch) has the best quality vid's on youtube and has 10x'd her expectations, you should collab with her since she is Canadian as well and a top figure in the fitness.... (maybe not a great example haha but eddie hall did a collab with bryce adams so, just saying)
Geez, I kinda have to get every mobility exercise into my routine immediately, I suck. That was really nicely explained. Not just the how, but the why, I appreciate that. Side note, the one and only time I tried to front squat left me with bruises all over my shoulders when the bar kept rolling up and down, causing deep tissue massage in a bad way. Haven't done it since. Maybe, possibly, a decent front rack would help. 😅
side note mitch, i noticed from Tom Stoltmans recent material about his disappointments at the arnolds, personally i'm thinking both tom stoltman and trey mitchell are hungry, and while trey is a fellow american i have to be real with tom's goals, over everyone, including thor, i'm sure Tom stoltman will be your main competition for 2024, dood's podiumed continuously, he's hungry, won basically everything outside of the main 4 events, and he's gunning for your title, your not just dealing with a man that has a goal, he's even willing to skip the UK Arnolds to focus on WSM
Working smarter not harder is good for winning comps. Strict shoulder press shows more pure power so it's more impressive but until they say you can't, I'd keep on keeping on.
Learning olympic lifts and training in that style consistently for a couple of years after only doing powerlifting was humbling but also had a great ROI for my strength and conditioning. I was forced to correct shortcomings in my mobility that I had a tendency to workaround when doing powerlifting training (e.g. front squatting properly vs arms-crossed, ATG high bar squatting vs shallow low bar squatting, etc.). But once I dealt with these shortcomings, I noticed a huge carryover in terms of strength and mind-muscle connection to anything non olympic lifts related including 2 of the 3 powerlifts (my benchpress did suffer).
See, I'm watching the clip at a perfect time. After 20 minutes, I will be at the club to practice the style shown in the clip. I like to lift weights Your followers are from Iraq
Personally, I don’t have any aspirations to learn Olympic lifting. That said, I would love to meet Sonny. I don’t do well just being told to do something. I need to to know why for it to stick for me. Great stuff!

Hooper the most intelligent and adaptive strongman learning the split jerk from an olympian to crush the overhead event at the Arnold.

The hard work paid off. 5 rep WR was a good effort. The more efficient lift meant there was time for the last lift.
That time management was too good
Seeing Rob Kearney always do the split jerk for over head always made me wonder why more haven’t tried it. Seeing the WSM do it and use it to help win the Arnold was great.
The combo of CrossFit and now Olympic Weightlifting into your Strongman training is giving you a huge edge 👍

Lets go Mitch . It was so cool seeing you wonder why people dont learn this, you learning itnand them owning people with it. Top g moves
Amazing information on shoulder mobility. I will try these, as I'm focusing a lot on overhead strength lately.
GJ Hooper, this video was surprisingly informative. Weightlifters and Crossfiters will dig this one.

One thing about Mitch he seems smarter and more open to new techniques than other strongmen.
Mobility really takes a powerful strongman to the next level.
This guy is a great teacher, would be fun to hear him talk about the squat, as thats one of the major components in weightlifting
This is all GOLD! Thank you!
Lots to learn from Sonny! 👍

That split jerk at 0:17 was so crazy bad lol. if you won with that, I couldnt imagine whats possible if you train it more
Its an axle bar for reps and press outs are allowed
