What I do agree on is that 315 lbs on an untrained individual at 6'2 would look fat, yes. 80 lbs extra for a strongman/builder is nothing to be in awe over. Lots of muscles. Smaller than most strongmen at his height. Eddie Hall is the same height and weighed over 100 lbs more. THAT is 'fucking huge' as you'd exaggarately put it in regards to Mitch.

High praise from Greg, Mitchell has certainly earned it! Great collab, hopefully some more in the future. 👍💪

Mitch you are a huge inspiration. I love to train for strength but I also love to run long distances and do ultra marathons. There’s no reason why being able to run marathons should mean that someone is weak and can’t lift. You have definitely shown that to the world.

Two great human beings wish more people were half as good as these two are. May many blessings follow them and their families.

Awesome collaboration! Coach Greg's videos have been helping me immensely with my diet and motivation, and Mitchell Hooper coming out of seemingly nowhere to win WSM is an inspiration; I've been soaking up all the knowledge he has to offer on this channel.

Mitchell Hooper- The nicest monster alive! Mitchell is one of my new faves in strength sports for sure! I love the humility brother!!!

Awesome collab, I think it's funny how you acknowledge you don't look like the biggest, strongest guy, but have this crazy strength. I would put Martins in the same category, not the biggest looking guy on stage, but somehow outlifts everyone else.

Mr. Hooper i'm certainly glade you choose to enter the shaw classic in august, despite this being brians last event he's truly going all out for winning the event, I hope you guys both enjoy, being a powerlifter myself we understand that competition helps drive us to the next level, not so much that one must win at all cost but rather to continue to improve, hope you both enjoy the competition (i felt Brian at the WSM event was both handicapped due to the leg injury and then left fatigued due to the stone carry event, that was not an arcuate run of his abilities and really look forward to the even in august with you both)

Awesome! lots of love from Iran to both of you! we need more Collabs ❤

So much so that the age you suffered your back injury lifting, is the same way I hurt my back. A few years later and I am still struggling with comfortably deadlifting. Have you ever thought of making a video that outlined your recovery process after the injury. For example did you focus on strengthening your core a bunch, or activating your glutes more etc. If so, that would be awesome! Much love from Kentucky. LHBK!

Most of the strongman events go for a minute or more or the as many reps as possible format, so there's definitely an element of power output over time.

Why not use a 7 site caliper test? Would be more accurate.

It boggles my mind that he's only 6'2 and 315 as a strongman competitor. Everyone else in strongman are literal giants, though being next to Greg does make him look like a giant lol. I wonder how huge he would look next to an off season Chris Bumstead who's also around his height.

7:27 "that's my weakness" the world strongest man channel recently uploaded the 2022 group 2 heats (which is your group - which obviously you know you won (and as a rookie - very impressive with Shaw in the group as well)) but in the log lift in those heats you did well with 7 reps. (2nd place and tied with Shaw in that event) but the interesting thing in the video is Bobby Thompson seems to have crazy shoulder strength. The guy didn't use his legs at all for the log lift.

It's cuz he broke his foot/ankle at some point and has a metal plate in one ankle, which means he can't really extend onto his toes. Its the same reason he has trouble on stones,i f you watch, he cant lift up onto his toes to get the last couple inches of height needed for most platforms

@@sagebauer1077 it sounds like Bobby Thompson would be ridiculously scary as a competitor, if he didn't have that plate in his foot. and those atlas stones (which can have giant diameters) combined with the height I've seen them have to be lifted seems like it can be very difficult. I saw watched the 2009 Atlas stones between Mariusz and Savickas, and first two podiums to put stones on were taller than Mariusz's height. He would use his tippy toes, and was just barely tall enough to control the ball to move it on the podium to the center of the podium. For someone like Tom Stoltman, I'm guessing that height would've been no problem. I also wonder if the diameter of an atlas stone can become so wide that only taller competitors with long arms can get their arms around them

I would never dare to compare myself with him, i am a way smaller build, i am 6foot 195pounds (at my heaviest) and i constantly outlift a majority of guys way bigger than me and I always has been underestimated so in a sense i do understand a tiny bit what he is feeling it is such a funny feeling when you lift more than the guy way taller and a 100pounds heavier next to you yet he looks like he could fold you and trow you miles away. 😅 Power isnt always size, its definitely required to a certain level but some people just have more performant muscle fibers or something.
