Absolutely love monster mitch. He'll always win 1st place as a human being... we've needed his example for a long time.... respect and honor to you Mitchell Hopper !
There is no limits for Hoop!!! Every Strongman event throughout the year I tune in, just like I did for Brian Shaw, to see what Mitch "The Moose" Hooper is going to accomplish!! Amazing.
I don't even see it as confidence. It seems like intelligence and mathematics. Moose calculates what needs to happen, what he knows he can do, and then figures out how to breach the difference if there is any. Just because he ain't smashing shit up or screaming but is taking a more considered approach, that's not arrogance; that's smart.

And how exactly do you fix an axle lift? They all lift on the same bar and have to get it over their heads. Mitch simply takes strongman far more seriously than the average competitor which is why he wins so much and only gets beat by genetic monsters like Tom and Halfthor. Do you just hate Canadians or are you always this ignorant?
You are absolutely right. He takes the sport far more seriously than any strength athlete out there and has a university degree in human kinetics and a masters in clinical exercise physiology.
@@markadler8968 Little crazy to say he takes it far more seriously than any other athlete. Hooper is very technical in his approach but so are others such as Shaw or Martins and many more.

There are so many things genetics can affect, not just size. Genetics can make smaller people incredibly strong too. But anyone thinking a 6'4" 350lbs Hooper looks average needs to go out more.
He works smart not hard. See how he's using his legs in the wrecking ball hold. Look at the impeccable split jerk on the axle press. He's smart and technical.

Yes Novikov was the first one to prove that and I believe he was even lighter than Mitch when he won his WSM title. When you are 400+ lbs you do gain an advantage in pure strength events like deadlift/shoulder press but lose it in any event that requires speed/agility.
I agree but Mariusz Pudzianowski was 6'1" and about 313lbs this isn't really new, it's great that these builds are now growing in the strongman world. Also I guess training and science are aiding this greatly.
I think they go through phases, in part related to the demands of competition - there seemed to be a big thing for static strength monsters in say 2015-2017 and previous to that Big Z was more suited to the static stuff too. Closer to home Glen Ross was absolutely huge in his day, ridiculous static strength but probably couldn't climb 2 flights of stairs. If the events favour these guys they will naturally be successful; if the next year is full of loading medleys, Conan's wheel etc they will not do so well 🤷

Yeah, I also expected a "Come on Pavlo" after he cheered for Mitch. Well.. Giant's Live always loved world records so i guess they'd try to make that happen as they can.
Mitch has been doing the social media tap dance going around collabbing with a large number of people within the industry. To dumb it down, Mitch has been getting clicks and he has showed he is willing to bow down and kiss the ring, the ring being this social media hoop you have to keep jumping through to get your name in the limelight and keep it there for as long as possible.
