Is Tom not showing his axle training a good sign? Can Hooper be beaten?

One of 2 things, either he's very confident so isn't showing anything or the numbers are not where we think they are

Rob Kearney, who is not as strong as Mitch, has shown that a split jerk works well with the axle and Mitch Hooper, who is stronger than Rob, has gotten really great at the split jerk. Doesn't bode well for the other axle pressers.

If the refs don't require Mitch to bring his head through, I don't think athletes should contest for 1st place in a battle. Not worth it.

And I just realized that Michael Harper is Ivan Singletov's arch-enemy

Pavlo is such a beast, casually holding the axle over his head for a few seconds, even Zydrunas has to admit this axle was "under control" :D

I’m gonna say Big Tommy will take it this year.

Yea. But I favour Mitch for 4 out of 6. And i dont see him outside top 3 in stones and throw. We might be in the Mitch era. ​@@mattysmith83

​@@aeis3007yeah agree but Tom wasn't great at the conans last year and Mitch is always top 3 for pretty much any event so I think that's where he could take a big lead. I do think Tom could potentially make up 4-5 points on stones though. Especially if some other good stone lifters like Trey and Matt Ragg in the final

Hooper just doing crazy numbers there. I mean just insane. He must be the favorite this year

If needed I think Mitch will get a World Record👑🦀🍁

The biggest standout to me is how athletic Pavlo is. Looking at his build compared to everyone else, he’s most like the the strongest in bodyweight to strength ratio. That Michael Harper guy will probably do well if he can actually clean the heavier weights. Classic Harper.

Bodyweight wise I think I'd give the edge to Kearney, but it would be close.

He's got a real shot at giving Mitchell Hooper a run for his money.

It's crazy how far above everyone else tom/hoop look at axle Not that tom posted any videos

2 days to go. Hype!

I like Mitch, so this isn't a hateful comment. But he really needs to get his head through properly for a genuine, clean rep, in my humble opinion.

After seeing your Deadlift video leading to the ASC, and hearing this music again, I really miss Hafthor in this. Hope you will make multiple videos leading to Strongest Man on Earth and Rogue Invitational as well.

You're profile picture is of the goat of overhead

Thoughts on the split and Jerk?. Hooper seems to be the guy that might end up changuing they way mayor organizations look at it. Personally, i feel divided, i´ve never been really ok with it cause it end up been a different thing than a push press, but also, in regards to the axel, it actually got into strongman with split and jerks, so i don´t know.

Lifting out of the rack dosen't require the strength that a press from floor to overhead does

Not looking close atm
