Its a beautiful group of people

"I will be world's strongest man one day. I will win it for America. I'll keep coming back, I'll keep winning." That by Pfister is one of the most legendary quotes in strongman, up there with "There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift".

Mitch, loved watching Darren make you tap out. I was laughing so much I forgot to record it.

It's really awesome to see the current WSM there setting up the events. LHBK! 💪

Damn! Maddox getting into the sport? Gotta see that

I'm disappointed I didn't go now. I'm only an hour south in Beckley. I saw the flyer's for it and wanted to compete, but I knew I wouldn't be ready for it this year. If I'd known you were going to be there then I would have been there, even as a spectator.

I genuinely admire the courage of that security guard running in to break up two "fighting" strongmen, godspeed you madlad

Mitch is super great for the sport! Definitely picking up were Brian left off.

I love the classic strongman look. Very true to the sport

How legends are made and the legends who support them . Great video Mitch 👍🇦🇺🙏🏻

what a FANTASTIC video mitch. this is a special one

MITCHELL HOOPER, PLEASE READ THIS: Can you do reaction videos to impressive strength athletes? I think those would give you alot of views. I got a couple suggestions: TOM HAVILAND 6ft8(204cm) and 160kg/350 pounds bodyweight. 450kg deadlift(or so) 300kg raw bench press w/stop 370kg Zercher Squat (320kg for reps with stopp) and tons of unorthodox insane movements, can also jump higher than a nba player it seems. ANDREY SMAEV: around 6ft1, 265 pounds. Pullups: Bodyweight + 160kg for max rep Bench press: 280kg And tons of insane calisthenics strength moves, aswell as some arm wrestling. Video: Add in video of them doing the lifts while you react during and after. Maybe give ur thoughts for what sport they would excell at, and which sport you would like to see them try. Id love to see Tom at strongman and Andrey Smaev at arm wrestling or pull-press meet.

I was gutted for loz, I hoped if he didn't win he would be at least happy with his performance.ive been watching strongman for almost 40 years and it so good to see where the sport is and where it can potentially get to

5:48 the best mentality!

Leading by example and using your position to help promote the growth of the sport from the ground up. Great stuff. 💪🇨🇦💪

@@adamcathcart8519 its just fun to see crossover in strength sports. Besides it sounds like he just wants to try to set some records. The interesting part is comparing those records and his performance in those lifts as the best bencher of all time to current and previous strongmen. You can compete in powerlifting as just a squatter and still get the prestige. No reason to not think the same of Julius if he manages to mog some of these strongman lifts.

I love your lift heavy be kind motto, also being a big unit that lifts heavy people assume you are some kind of monster of a person, but like you, I'm just a nice fella that likes challenging myself and find lifting heavy ass stuff to be my challenge of choice. (Yes mate, I'm weak compared to you, but strong compared to me of the past and that's what its about) I always enjoy the insights in your videos and the attitude you bring to life in general, who knows what the next chapters will be for you but it approached with the same focus, dedication and moral compass, I can only imagine success in whatever you choose to apply yourself to

It's very tough to get people interested in paying to see a strongman in the US compared to Britain.

as much as I encourage people staying fit, the part about preventing all sorts of chronic desease left a bitter aftertaste since obciously the majority of the top competitor, at least in the heavier weight classes aren't natural which can easily reverse the benefits. stay strong, fit, healthy and be kind :)

I'm really not making up for anything other than the feeling of indebtedness and gratitude I have towards the strongman world, and the hope that more people can have the experience I have had with the community.

Isn't it heart warming to see the WSM helping out. I'm going to make it a dream to compete in 2024. I'm 43. I just train. But the new gym I've joined is run by Britain's strongest woman in 2021. What a community. I'm a poet by the way. Just need to sort my psoas out which is tight and prevents me from heavy squats and deadlift. Will add to this post one day... Thank you, hooper. You're a good man.

Anyone know Lauren smith’s socials, I was interviewed at the games and would like to check out if she used my footage.

Shoutout to Nick Best

Can’t believe I Didn’t find out about this until after the fact. ☹️☹️☹️

The People's Champ!

Let your deeds shine before men, but be indifferent to their praise and opinion. I do hope that Mitchell (of Michael-“who is like God”) would come to know his Maker. Unless he does, he will never be fully satisfied. His diligence and kindness are commendable.
