Congrats to Hooper,well deserved. As long as he is around he gets most of the W for sure.

Mateusz 2 nd again. Tom breaks the curse. Mitch wins once again.

To be fair, Mitch was steamrolling his way through most of the comp so I can understand him having the confidence to lift that last stone. I think we were all surprised when he couldn’t do it, but it was still a great end to the competition. What a show!

As I predicted. Mitch hooper is just in a league of his own right now. Being back to back in the heaviest strongman comp with a much more competitive opposition has just proven his wins were not a fluke

LETs GOOOOOO

Mooooooooooooooooooooose!

I don’t get it, why people dislike that Hooper is cooky sometimes. He has a full right to do it. He is just better than everyone else 😂

I think people enjoy the humble camaraderie that strongman is known for and Mitch is a bit more vocal regarding his own abilities than some are comfortable with. Combine that with him surpassing seasoned (and loved) competitors to dominate the field in a mere couple of years has probably lead to some seeing him as disrupting the natural rhythm of the sport. In reality most fans likely understand that he’s helping elevate and evolve the sport and will likely inspire other competitors to greater heights.

Because to a lot of viewers think strongman is meant to be about big, fat, 200kg+ guys picking heavy things and Hoop has come in and turned that on it's head showing that a lot of what the strongman vets did/do is just plain wrong. He's brought a more scientific, newage approach to the sport and people don't like being proven wrong.

Hooper did great, just got a little cocky at the end, with that much buzz and knowing after the first lift the win was his, it just went to his head for a moment, hopefully that moment doesn't blight his win, 10 seconds of 🤦 does not undo months of prep and a weekend of good performance.

Impressive work from Hooper again. Wonder why the competition is not closer when the guys are on top of the game but still one guy can dominate event after event. Hooper is explosive, strong and has a lot of stamina. I would hope that in the future arnold strongman classic goes back to being heaviest competition. More static lifts, squats and bring wheel of Conan back. Now it is just awkwardly heavy and boring to watch when 70% of athletes can't even finish one rep or one lift. And I would criticize rules that in overhead press you can incline bench press and not actually have the stone over your head. Others tried to press it overhead (like the event says it is) and Hooper just bench presses it and doesn't lock the lift over his head. Is bench press overhead press if shoulders lock? No. Same thing as in last Rogue invitational with the log. Tom pressed it clean overhead when Hooper just locks it over his chest. So really hope they change rules. Now it just feels they can decide who wins by choosing events suitable for one dude and modify rules to suit that guy aswell. Someone said that Hooper doesn't lock the overhead press over his head because of shoulders. So guy has a weakness he can't fix = fix the rules so he can win.

Does that say 470 or 410?

I think it is 410 lbs. Note, besides not being perfectly spherical (which actually may be helpful), I think they had to lift it without tacky. So that is what really makes it tough.
