I had kind of assumed Hooper would be something of a bro-dozer... But WOW!!! Monstrously strong, absolutely, but this guy is something else. Right up there as one of the best strength podcasts i have ever heard, absolutely fascinating

This guy is a great addition to strongman

Tom is doing much the same approach , staying calm and cruising . He said that last year he used a lot of energy because he was on his own at night. This year he has his wife with him and can chill out as if he was at home. Luke is very different . I suppose you have to figure out what works for you. The walking to recover I can relate to. I’ve done a few long distance walks, 50 miles + and after a bit of a rest, food, a slow pace walk for say 10 mins really helped with recovery.

I already love this guy!

A legend on the rise!!

That's the best podcast so far guys I really ,really enjoyed every second of it. Mitchell is seriously intelligent I would listen to him for hours you have to get him on again, and I think he will do 510 . Keep up the great work guys 💪💪

This guy is going places! Super impressive so far and a great attitude. Confident not cocky. His background has really set him up well.

When you discover someone who immediately goes to the top of your list of favourite people. Top bloke.

Good to see that Darren and Mitch are this close already. Holding hands for half of the podcast.

Darren looking MASSIVE!!

This guy is Nietzsche's Übermensch. Highly intelligent, eloquent and driven, but also physically uniquely talented and capable. As a fan, I'm hoping he'll stay in the sport for the long run, but the part of me that understands him as a person knows he will likely explore other avenues in life after achieving his goals in strongman. Godspeed, Moose!

Mitch is also very knowledgeable. He understands the mechanics of strength and performance.

He is going to revolutionise the sport to a whole other level he speaks so much sense

This guy is actually different 💪

Love this, but why are they being so coy about results when they posted them to their official website in real time? By the time this posted Mitch himself and all the biggest channels already had videos revealing it as well. Not that it matters. It’s just a privilege to see ties guys career kick off so quickly.

Great interview. While a lot of the stuff Mitchell is saying sounds good, I am interested to see if this is a method that would be consistent for 10+ years similar to what Brian has done or is this just something young blokes can get away with before multiple injuries.

I was thinking the same RE recovery - a lot of the older guys talk about how being younger with less training miles can get away without spending time on the extra recovery work, but as they have more training miles they need more and more. Love his attitude on the deadlift mind - I'm a strong believer that many people set limits in their mind which hold them back. Take the 100m sprint for example, everyone was happy running 9.8/9.9s 100's, then bolt comes along and sets 9.6. Suddenly others jump forward now they see its possible.

100% this guy will get injured. He actually seemed kinda arrogant in terms of knowing exactly what works and how to do it. Eddie had a team behind him in order to pull 500kg. But I'm open to eating my words

the best about him is that he always backing up what he said, prove that he is equally powerful for the future potential. Canadian's strength really put a big name in these days strength comps. Hope for his great success later on.

Amazing Mitch. Can't wait to get you on my Scramble Team at Fed Up Cup at Simoro GC.

Very sharp guy.

He's a phenomenon. Great guy got a lot of time for him. Hope he goes far.

The fact he's 2 years into his strongman career and has a 475kg in comp deadlift is absolutely unbelievable, he's got 500+ in him and he'll do it at the deadlift championship this year

Top bloke

As intellectual as he is strong with such great demeanor. This bloke is no joke. A real diamond. Go Moose go!

If I’m understanding correctly, Mitch’s approach to recovery during competition is focused on staying calm and not overworking his nervous system. This makes a lot of sense, but part of the reason other guys get so worked up is that they need the boost that comes from artificially triggering their nervous system to be able to do what they do. The real question then, is what about his training and/or genetics allows him to get so strong that he can compete at an elite level without pushing as near the outer limits of his bodies ability as most other competitors? Not a tinfoil hat sort of question, I think the answer is probably a combination of one in a billion genetic ability and his athletic background and prior training history but it’s truly amazing.

I think it's pretty safe to say he has some of the best genetics the sport has seen. He's only been training strongman for 2.5 years and already pulled 475kg, is one of the absolute best in the world at yoke, solid on log and very strong overall, and he only weighs 315lbs...

@@pathofthebarbell8289 Agreed. It reminds me a bit of an more sciencey version of Big Zs approach. You win or lose in training. On the day, you just show up and execute. Rarely push outside your safety zone, never surprised by your own results. If you have the combination of genetics and patience for it, seems like it would be the recipe for a long and dominant career.

he understands recovery science. he may change some things in strongman

Just WOW

at 36.31 min i disagree but i do love the advice, i work for an American Sink Company (Shaws) it works out in any 8 hour shift we lift at least 800kg a day per man and i have 6 men. i weigh in at 13.4 stone and tbh doing my first Novice comp on 25 June. Great advice Thank You i will try putting that into practise. @Mitchell Hooper i hope you do awesome in WSM 2022

Canada making some great athletes!

I think a question and Radzi asks it top interviewing, the manual labour job question is something I've always asked.

First thought I had of Mitchell was that he is magnus ver Magnusson reborn and I 100% believe he will pull 510kg and fingers crossed he wins wsm

Always rooting for Brian but Mitch as turned me into a fan. Thing that worries me is he does not recover like the other athletes do he goes to work instead and I get it but we have seen so many young athletes come in here kick butt and be injured for the next three years. I’m nervous the same thing is going to happen to Hooper

Sounds like JF is already in regular touch with him.

Although I completely agree that Mitch and Eddie are innovators in pushing the standards of the deadlift, Luke Richardson did say that he wanted 550 before he got injured

Just give the guys three atemps like Powerlifting

🇨🇦🇨🇦

Mitchell has a lot to learn if he thinks his deadlift jump to 475 kg will be similar in anyway when he attempts to jump to 500 kg. or more. However, his young age and lack of wear and tear does give him an edge, just not a beastly one if you know who I'm referring to.

The thousand pound yolk story is quite interesting I found myself at the Arnold classic this year for the first time I do a little bit of training strongman training not a lot because my work schedule but I popped under an 800 lb yoke and picked it up like it was nothing first time ever under one

Let the guys call their weights, simple as

Give the man 510! Don't make him pull 505 if someone already has. I'd have zero motivation to equal a record at that level.

Wow! I really like this guy. This is gonna be such a good finals! I'm gonna be super happy to see either Martins, Novakov, Brian, or Hooper win. My guess is Martins, Novakov, Tom. But I'd like to see Hooper bump Tom from the podium.

One of the reasons the heavy athletes need stretching and massages and whatnot is because they are so huge and inflexible. Hooper seems very lean. Why bother with stretching when you have tons of active recovery and flexibility due to not being ridiculously large?

Yeah right...

If someone does 505 and Hooper wants to do 510 he should be allowed to try without doing the 505.

I definitely respect his opinion on recovery but I would disagree all the older athletes say the wish the would have recovered better or the ones that are still competing say it’s because of recover method. I definitely don’t think people should try his methods to recovery

His talk about recovery is quite interesting, but I think it's still somewhat biased. The athletes that seem to last the longest in the sport take their recovery very seriously. So perhaps Mitch's young age makes him partial to their methods, only time will tell. Will watch his career with great interest!
