6:05 "I wide Pavlo" - Pavlo Nakonechnyy

This may look easy to you, but that basketball is actually a 50kg atlas stone.

They don't call him Hooper for nothing

I love that you bring a sense of reality to the strongman universe Mitch, it doesn't feel like a mysterious world of beefed up dudes who come from strange lands anymore LOL the very first video I saw of yours was your response video to Loz and Liz's WSM predictions, where even they knew nothing about you, and in that video, for whatever reason, you made it feel relatable and down to earth, I suddenly felt like I could be a fan without feeling like a stranger to it as well... Loz and Liz do this too but I felt that you deserved some credit as well for all your efforts on and off the "field" this past year. Great job Mitch and I look forward to your future strongman career!

@@leonmunt6244 Thor in his prime was significantly wider than Pavlo. He’s 6 inches taller, wider hips his proportions are completely different. It’s harder for him to ‘look’ really wide. It’s like Lalas. He was wide for his height but put him next to a 6’4 strongman and he isn’t much wider if at all

This was amazing. WAY better than a typical "what I eat in a day" video. Loved it

I take it pavlo thought you asked him his measurements of his shoulders and not how to actually get those shoulders 🤣🤣🤣 But ill take it. 150 it is!

One hundred fifty! Of course! How did I not think of this before? It makes so much sense now. I will start my one hundred fifty immediately! Wide Pavlo shoulders here I come! 💪

Imagine the power of 151

Pavlo shoots like he hasn't played since he got strong.

You know things are getting real when Pav took of the slides. Wide Pav got the moves.

Hooper is the Mr. Perfect of strongman. Just excels in every sport.

Damn Mitch Hooper really a hooper! After you two dominate the sport of strongman I reckon you both can dominate the NBA playing old school bullyball 😂

Awesome video! Love seeing Strongmen having fun

Question for you Mitch. Based on your interactions, is Pavlo enjoying being a strongman and will he continue to keep improving? Because we want all of you guys to continue so that we have the most competitive events.

This put a smile on my face 😊

New generation of strongman

This was really cool to watch. Thanks guys!

Nice seeing some off topic/pavlo content!

Just competed in my first strongman comp on the weekend at the same venue as the Australia's Strongest international, hope you can make it, I'd love to watch in person

Great video!

Mitch is an incredibly well rounded.athlete.

Gotta see Hooper vs Shaw, and Hooper vs Bjornsson next.

We need a strongman basketball league.

Yes! So hyped for this. Couldn't just moose drop it.

Really enjoyed this mich

Thanks for your time 😽

Awesome video!

Awesome! Pavlo need more exposure :)

My 2 favorite strongmen.

That was impressive! Good form for being massive. That’s nuts!

0:00 I had to check to see if that crack on the backboard was there at the start.

Pavlo is trying to shoot the ball as gently as he can, but his minimum power is too much.

Bro, take it easy on Pavlo!

Seriously, this has to become a post comp tradition

Brian & Thor talk about playing basketball. Mitch and wide Pav make it happen!

Looks like a great way to build up endurance!

two of my favourite sports in one video 🙂

Very nice to see. Wide Pavlo, backing into the lane. Like a semi! Way to shoot Moose.

can't wait to see you collab with brian shaw

Now do this with Brian and Thor

To Infinity and Beyond

Don't challenge a man with the name Hooper to a game of hoops!

Nearly a Harlem Globetrotter...If you only knew the score. 🙂 Good fun watching guys well done.

Now we need to see Brain Shaw vs Thor (both of them also played basket ball in high school), and the winner of that game takes on Mitch 😀

42 is the answer, unless you're Wide Pavlo, then it's 150- it's like 42, but wider.

How do you get your shoulders so wide.. 150.yes 😂💪🏻

I'd like to see you try to dunk. I think that 1000+lbs DL has its carry over even at high bodyweight. Not to mention you are both tall.

Walking thumb finally finds hand big enough

damn what a good time men👌👌👌
