Kudos to you Mitchell for posting your success and failures.

And Greg was being very cool here.. Kudos to him too. Good video. Cheers mate!!!!

Best content!! Thanks for sharing.

Greg we need more videos like this but on your channel. Good stuff y’all

Greg is such a class act outside of his youtube persona! Being 6'6 and 300LBS myself, i understand that Mitchell has a good point about the range of motion needed for us taller guys, i say that to myself as well however, you also must take into consideration how much more mass you can put on compared to someone like Greg, therefore it evens out. That deadlift record is absolutely insane especially at Gregs weight. Mitchell did a really good job and i'm so happy seeing a "Not so monstrous" strongman beat the competition after people liek Brian Shaw have dominated it for a long time.

I like this Mitchell Hooper guy! Hope he stays healthy. Will be a lot of fun watching him break all sorts of strength records for the foreseeable future! The man is only 27 years old 🤯

Much respect to both of these men.

enjoyed the vid but just wanted to note you may want a bit more external rotation in the hips in your sumo technique mitch. with this specific technique, external rotation just puts you in a more favorable position to generate power. think more about ur hip adductors doing work there. a lot of people new to sumo make the mistake to just have a wide stance but just standing wide doesn't really change the mechanics of the lift that much. but yeah, i personally struggle a bit with the sumo stance because i have fairly weak hip adductors & a little hip injury to boot.

Greg is such a nice guy. Much more likable when he's not screaming like he always does in his videos imo.

If you’re still looking for challenges I’d be really interested to see how your strength carries over to kettlebell sport. Kettlebell long cycle (clean & jerk) record is 2x 32kg kettlebells for 116 reps in 10mins or 2x40kg for 40 reps in 5 mins. Can’t set bells down. Lots of other records too of course.

Edit: I did found this: "when it comes to the sumo deadlift vs. conventional deadlift, both exercises activate your muscles to the same degree, but in different ways. According to a study in the journal medicine and Science in sport and exercise, sumo deadlifts are more effective at activating the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and tibialis anterior muscles. Conventional deadlifts, on the other hand, elicit greater activation of the medial gastrocnemius."

That last comment about range of motion x weight is something I've been saying for a while. Imo that's how powerlifting should be scored, by a equation where points are awarded based on bodyweight of lifter, weight lifted, and distance weight travels.

Yes. It also depends on the equipment. The softer the bar and the more supportive equipment you use, the easier sumo will be.

Possibly a wee bit about strengths and weaknesses, too.

Amazing how strong Greg was with such a small frame. You are a behemoth next to him. And your reps looked more like straight leg deadlifts with a wide stance than sumo deadlifts, which surely must be much more difficult than nailing the sumo technique. If you trained anything I think you would be best at it. Your are like Mr. Perfect from the old WWF, except you are real.

only you can do that Mr. Hooper.

putting this amazing feat aside, this is like watching the Bourne Identity, keep the camera still and let us watch the subject.

The torso angle isn't the same, depending on your height. To be fair, he should do a rag pull.

Its almost like the sumo stance at your height makes it a cramped area. Im also 6"3" and been considering sumo. Did you feel like it was your height or overall size that made the coordination different than conventional?

Sumo is more for people with longer legs than torso. You don't have to use your back as much and you can squat down and drive with your legs more. Normally shorter smaller people lift sumo and taller larger people prefer conventional. Just what I've noticed.
