Great Comp. Fairytale ending for Big Brian Shaw. Dad hat suits you sir. Tom fighting his way to third after zeroing on the first event was very good to see. Good Luck for your nuptials you will be missed at Cardiff.

Congrats on 2nd place finish bro! I had to think to myself that looking at the podium was like a passing of the torch from Brian, you will be great in this sport. Good luck to you, can't wait to follow along your journey.

@@colindenny1236 Calm down. He's simply saying he sees battles between Hooper and Tom will be similar to Z and Brian. Not one time did he say Mitch was as good as Z. Reading comprehension is key.

Congratz! Awesome performance. And hey, if you're going to come in 2nd, I can't think of a better time to do so! What an honor it must have been to be there for his last show, his last event, and his very last step! Literally! So happy for you.

I rarely cry or tear up as a man but watching you stop at the stairs and cheering Brian was beautiful ❤ Oh man 🥲

That's strongman community!

You’re the smartest person I have ever heard discuss training. I admire you sir

Love how you teach us while doing your videos! Always fun to watch you or Shaw or Eddie train but you always teach too. Thankyou and please keep it up!

Really appreciate the info/exercises on increasing shoulder mobility

Early comment. Awesome watching you perform. Had me in tears when you stopped the stairs to cheer on Brian's final fight.

Me too but I wondered why he stopped was it because it wouldn't have made any difference in points and standings? Otherwise it looks like he threw it?

​@@buddyyantz2446Brian only needed the second stair to win, at which point Mitch only needed 3 stairs to secure second and couldn't improve beyond that, so no reason to do 2 more stairs and risk injury for no reason

Congrats on the 2nd!! And shout out to my boy Dan! Can’t wait to train with him again when he gets back from Japan and rep that merch he got me!! You’re a great dude Mitch! 💪💪 -Mike

Congrats on 2nd. No better time to finish 2nd than to a retiring legend of the sport. I’ve just order my LHBK t-shirt, hopefully it will find its way safely to England.

Congrats on the great performance. It was great to meet you. I think you pushed Brian to his best. You were all so awesome to watch. Thanks for listening to all our stories. My son was excited at seeing the picture with you and hearing about meeting you. Hope next time he gets to be there. God bless and congrats on the Dad thing!

Amazing contest Mitch. You looked great. One day your kid will watch all these videos when he or she is older.

Real class, Mitch. Well done.

Those fingers are moving like butter. Congrats on the podium finish bro!!

This is Moose Country. Wicked cool

CONGRATS ON YOUR PODIUM!!! Moose droppin ofc

Hey mitch grats on your 2nd place. I'd like to know is there anything that you do to avoid damage to your ulnar nerves?

Would call also the conditioning phase on July for one of the reasons to the veins :)

I have found that dead hangs have been helping my shoulder mobility a lot. I am thinking about adding weight to them for extra stretch.

💪

❤

Awesome video as always Mitch. I said it on Loz's stream and I'll say it again here; you've now done a pro strongman rite of passage that is coming into a comp in absolute top shape and still coming second to Brian Shaw. Good luck at Rouge, hopefully we see you back on top of the podium #LHBK

what's your thoughts on 'hanging' for shoulder health mitch ? as we share the same joint as an ape but we don't use it as it was meant to be and hunch over.

Do you guys carb up before competition?!

Still The World's Strongest Dad. 👍.

What would you call the shoulder exercise you are doing for mobility at 1:25?

I think you're going to finish second to Brian. I just have a hunch this is going to happen...

Looking beeeeefy in the shoulders 👀

I bet you get second. The key to winning is the bag toss.

...😀

You are obviously successful at your craft. Why did you decide to stop lifting 5 days out instead of 10 or 20? From what ive learned from Westside Barbell and Charlie Francis you maintain strength for 3 weeks then only lose very marginal strength the 4th week. Have you experimented with longer rest periods before competing?

I really wonder how much of your success comes from your knowledge and training principles vs natural physical gifts. More simply put, throw a meathead brain that only ego lifts in your head and compare the results. My unprofessional uneducated opinion is that your mind is by far your best attribute. Please keep up the teaching 👍

Mitch’s push is very weak for his weight 🤔

I believe he has done over a 200 kg log so not exactly weak

What? He's one of the lightest guys and his overhead press is amazing. He got two reps (?) at the comp log pressing 200kg and Luke and Tom didn't get any.
