Agreed however, Hooper is only 28 and could possibly add more weight to his frame w out losing his mobility. He’s also very young in his strong man career as he trains these events and uses the different implements more he’ll get better. It’s going to be a crazy battle between these two. The prodigy vs the professor.

The fact that Thor is managing to get really damn close to Hooper, the currently unbeatable athlete, even without being fully recovered from his pec tear, is scary as hell Mitchell Hooper - 34.5 points Hafthor Bjornsson - 32.5 points Lucas Hatton - 24 points Bobby Thompson - 23.5 points Maxime Boudreault - 19 points Oskar Ziółkowski - 16 points Gavin Bilton - 12.5 points Rauno Heinla - 11 point

Besides that, Mitch is looking good again in this competition and Thor just keeps getting stronger and stronger. The timing of Brian retiring and Thor coming back does a good job filling in that spot of a competitor that can potentially win every competition. Makes everything all the more exciting to watch when there isn't just one dominant athlete.

I really want to see him do the Shaw Classic in August and go for that 505kg dl.

Hooper is doing what I thought Licis would have been able to do, but injuries and also his constant obsession with perfect form has hindered his progress I believe, at the arnolds for example, he waisted a lot of energy while being in that bottom position at the deadlift for at least 1 minute, no matter how flexible and athletic you are, when you are 150 kg, you are nog supposed to be able to be there. Hooper is just exceptional, if you look at the guys frame, he's not a behemoth like Shaw or Hafthor, if you look at his hands and wrists, looks like a big, while still human man.

I feel like Rauno had more in the tank, actually?

amazing. the moose so strong so smooth, so smart and love to see thor appreciate him, much love fr both and for big loz and uncle lizz of course

The moose is definitely loose and he's something else.
