All muscles have a theoretical limit to their force production in relation to cross sectional area which is based on the physical parameters of the sarcomere, the contractile unit of muscle. The contractile strength of sarcomeres vary between species because some species have longer sarcomeres, which in turn have more overlapping actin and myosin, which in turn generates more force in relation to the csa. Crustaceans have longer sarcomeres than humans, and their muscles can therefore generate proportionally more force for a given size, in some cases almost twice as much as human muscle of equal size. Based on his strength, and his performance on the shield carry, I propose that Hooper is in fact a crustacean.

Idk where that idea would come from. Everyone seems to assume static events are a weak point for Mitchell despite the fact he has always performed very well in then from all the history I've seen...🤔

His history as a marathon runner but also being rather taller than thicker in his slimmer days is not a recipe for great pressing strength but here he is. Doing it. Proving that stereotypes aren't the truth. Mitch is special breed man.

@@dkfromthebay Klokov tried a log press years ago and did 130kg and you would have thought out of most oly lifters, he would be one of the best and any overhead event. A whippy olympic bar vs a stiff axel, having to lean back slightly with the size of it is night and day difference. I'd think Lasha would struggle to jerk 220 on an axle

Really progressing, impressive. The analysis is really insightful, informative and useful. Not just in and of itself but also as a demonstration of the way to think about your own training.

Good stuff, you have a great way of explaining everything. Best wishes for your upcoming competitions.

Me thinks Mitch may have broke the WR off camera with that cheeky smile. Also "When it gets heavy and hard" 211 most mere mortals aren't pulling that off the floor let alone throw it in the sky 😂😂 the year of the moose #lhbk

Great work! I love how original and creative your are!

Congratulations! Very impressive. Making it look easy!

Your attention to detail is amazing whether it's knowing the rules for each event or the mechanics of every lifr

Fantastic focus and commitment!!! Very inspiring!

Oh man, red 20kg plates are hurting my brain. 😵 But your overhead skills are getting really scary. I'd hate to be the other guys.

I see you've left no stone unturned. You're looking huge and proving to be very strong. WSM is gonna be exceptional this year.

You are a certified bad ass man. You just seem like a very down to earth guy and i wish you all the luck in the world.

That axle wr has your name on it. 200 plus isn’t meant to look that easy 🤯

I love the science behind what you do. It is so interesting to me. Kinesiology is what I wanted to go into, it is so fascinating

I'm impressed. Big thumbs up on a great lift. Super! 👍

Congrats man. You came in and just started making all kinds of waves in the world of strongmen

Definitely one of my most favorite Worlds Strongest Man Competitors !! You're One hell of a inspiration Mitch !!

Great stuff man! Axle is looking nice!

You are an amazing strongman athlete! It’s crazy you lift like the heaviest guys to do it, but you are alot smaller and more athletic. Awesome 💪🏼

Excited to see you're coming to BC in June to show up at a comp even if its the same weekend as the comp I'm at elsewhere in BC haha.

Keep at it, Champ! You are definitely progressing along smoothly, I can't wait to see you dominate at WSM in May!

That split jerk has come a long way! Crazy how much potential your technique has and you are already doing like 500 lbs

We're all proud of your progress and success keeping on keeping on. 💪

Great videos thanks for making them

Incredible work ethic. Cheers

Such a beast!! Just dominating the competition 🇨🇦 keep crushing it hoops!!

I've watched a few dozen of your videos so far and only just realized I wasn't subbed already. That got rectified quick. Also I think you can break the Axle WR, let's fucking go Moose!! Not to take anything away from Iron Biby but you doing it at so much lighter a bodyweight and even getting so close already, is extremely impressive.

That Axle is absolutely wild big up Mitch that’s unreal

This guy just keeps amazing me more and more everyday....i seriously wish the entire field the best of luck beating you dude.

Love seeing you killing it in the gym! Have had an entire week where the arousal wasn't there so seeing you mention it is always reassuring. My local gym is offering a deadlift pb day next weekend so I'm going to send it and see what happens.

Great video .On the split jerk it may be easier to think of getting your head through the bar instead of looking at the ceiling .

Do you have any recommendations for practicing axle CAP in the gym? I usually have to practice with a barbell because gyms dont usually have axles. The issue being that I dont want to drop the weights from overhead. So i usually end up having to lower it onto my chest from overhead, which is getting likd of scary to do as the weights are getting heavier.

Great lifts!!

your shirt was crinkled and said " i am moose" - i like.

Absolutely bonkers mate

Awesome work

good luck Mitch!

I do power clean and press but I haven’t incorporated the ‘axel’ stall or jerk portion. I generate so much force off the ground that I find it uncomfortable to sink my body to catch it above me (I’d fall backwards with the weight) and feel off balance with the staggered legs. Besides, I’m not sure I could press more than I could upright row. I feel I’d have some potential in this event. How would you recommend someone transition to the axel from this background if they wanted to compete? Go lighter and start with technique? Seems counter intuitive to me for some reason.

Sick strenght. ❤

Good luck with the pressing!

Can't wait to see you smash another world record on a world stage! #LHBK

Awesome job!

Good luck Mitch.

Love your videos, always very nice. However I noticed the volume is sometimes pretty low compared to other videos on the website. I just wanted to point it out maybe its just me. Anyways good luck for WSM !!

Go get that record!

I noticed you wear your wrist wraps slightly down lower on your wrist, what are your thoughts on having them there versus more up towards your hand?

Mitch is just being smart and playing by the rules using a split jerk technique. While it’s legal why wouldn’t he do it like this. He didn’t write the rules of strongman. However I do think at some point the rules will change to say that this is a different lift to axel press, similar to how sumo and conventional deadlift are different. Until then let’s see how far Mitch can push this record.👍

@createachanneltopost

Strongman isn't like that. It's only about getting the weight over your head, however you choose to do that. It's more comparable to hitching on a deadlift.

@sagebauer1077

Idk man. Sumo and convential feel different to me because the end position is different. With a split jerk, its not like you stop the lift with your legs apart, you still have to stand up straight and end up in the exact same position. I dont think strongman should ban anything between the start & end position unless its super dangerous ( ie log on head)

Mitch is one of the only men in the world that can spilt jerk this much weight because he’s a freak athlete, a lot of strongman have crazy static strength he has both static and explosive power.

@Ont785 simply untrue. If its was easier everyone would do it. Should we just ban any technique that makes a lift more efficient? No hitching? No jerking a dumbell? No hook grip? Banning techniques is a major pandora's box

How you choose which foot is in the front and what behind?

WR around the corner!

That world record is in serious danger. Great lifts. 💪

Excellent lift 👍

Incredible performance

Hey Mitchell, what I like about you is your physique looks really really balanced and proportional and slim unlike other WSM. That look round and a bloated yet beefy look. Other than Bjorn but the guy is really really uncommonly tall. Great composition too, weight to strength. All the best.

That belt is awesome. Where can I get one?

Can't remember which video it was but you said let it sit on your collarbones, The wait feels so much more comfortable now!

Great work ....

I was happy yesterday to squat 225lbs for 4 reps, and you just lifted double that over your head. Crazy

Mitch, is it allowed to do the same technique as clean & jerk in powerlifting? what the reason in the first part of movement to "clean" bar as all strongmen do?

@brianhughharbord1822

I’ve wondered this as well. I figure a front squat at that weight would be a breeze for him. And when considering the strongman OHP events are typically for reps, that would help save energy and increase the rep count. Moose?

probably not, because for his legs, thats a relatively low weight. if your tendon handles a yoke of 600kg+, it probably does fine on a 200kg split jerk

Oh my Mitchell! How you re rack at that weight and hit it second time shows how much gas you have in the tank cardio wise compared to the other amazing athletes in the sport. Ive seen you do it multiple times now where I think, nah hes messed it up and you go on to do more reps. So impressive Mitchell honestly you keep inspiring me to work hard and not give in... and also be the kindest person I can be.
