Still would be the same. Nothing prevented the strongman from moving and executing. This event just doesn't favor tall people because they need to make a longer motion. Yet the rocks and keg throw favored tall so I don't see the issue....

[@eladrio2311]

@@flaviusfake271 nope, Thor is far stronger squatter than this machine allowed to show. Could mitch have won anyways on a regular barbell? yes, but no way in hell it would have been that big of a gap. It was ridiculous. On a regular barbell in training Thor was doing several reps with more weight than in this event.

[@chrisvig123]

They that was crazy…big fail for Thor he looked weak that entire event

[@Mc_Beefcake]

​@@flaviusfake271 Definitely not, you can see the athletes need to put their feet in specific spots causing awkward positions along with the fixed bar path. A free weight squat wouldn't have so blatantly favored the athletes with shorter femurs. That being said, I'm sure Brian learned from this event and we'll see lots of improvements next time.

[@ow1ix]

I think the mistake was not allowing the competitor to move their feet. Everyone knows when you lift sometimes you have to adjust your feet placement after the first rep.

[@hans84_de]

Sometimes "less is more"... By far the most embarrassing squat failure in strongman. They could have done a perfect squat with a standard barbell, a giant circus barbell or at least the cambered bar like they did at the Arnold classic but instead made a total mockery out of it! Months of hard work to create a useless equipment. Please don't bring this event back.

Mitchell Hooper should have half the number he did since he only did half ROM over other opponents. Plus, deadlifts are conventional technique, why isn't the squats too with strict form ?

[@VagifKasumov]

Because, genius, this is how these particular events were designed😂

[@yvan9616]

@KasumovMedia nope, you can look at the referee thumb up on other squats except when Hooper did his, and he ok'ed them without waiting, look at Hafthor deep squat, how much he had to go down to get his reps.. big difference.

[@VagifKasumov]

@yvan9616 nope, the exercise wasn't to squat deep, it was to make the bar touch the designated spot, and come back up. There were NO regulations on how to use your quads or your back. If someone could good-morning it, they would get the lift, too.

[@fruitgrapepwnage]

@@VagifKasumov Since ROM is not required it should not be called a squat. He won with brains (or accident) during the preparation session, not with strength. Thor would do 20 quarter squats had he gamed the machine during the familiarization day

You really need to get rid of the pre-determined foot placement nonsense. No way to know where your feet need to be until you're under the full weight. Cut your losses, scrap that apparatus, and just do a good old tried and true powerlifting style squat. Just use boxes full of money or something instead of plates to give it that strongman showmanship.

[@jodmancousland5087]

Love strongman. Love Brian. Hate this event. The idea that some dude is gonna tell me where to put my feet to squat? That's not how that should be. I put my feet where I'm mechanically strongest, and you tell me if I hit depth/the squat is good. This was absurd and hard to watch.

[@laurenceT141]

They're putting their feet where they had them during a familiarisation session. They all got time under the bar to pick their foot position, it was recorded and they needed to stick to that position. I think the rational was that everyone could be loaded up in their best position and that there couldn't be any shenanigans with bar height. I don't think it worked though, I'm pretty sure Hooper managed to game his position during familiarisation, because there's no way if it was all the same every other athlete got down to one depth and he only needed a half squat. Maybe the others didn't play it right, but he definitely played the mechanism in some way. (Which there were no rules against, he won fair and square by playing the game better than everyone else)

[@polarbear4612]

@@laurenceT141He didn’t necessarily game the machine. I think there was an error in the set up. They had to manually set the bar height and depth and they could have messed it up. Terrible apparatus though, even if it had been done correctly.

Hooper cheats again with shaws blessings

[@shahaf75]

Just like the car leg press. Over complicating does not equal impressive. When half the field can't get one rep you know your event is bad. Foot placement is probably the dumbest thing in strongman. Most go wide to use their quad strength only to realize under real load that warmup weight is not like comp weight. Also, static bar path you might as well squat in a smith machine. No way for athletes to correct in order to use their actual strength. If you're putting a powerlifting meet than do that, otherwise figure out how to do squat right...say like the Arnold. I have no issue with Hooper's squat, it's the 'measuring' that failed miserably and whomever recorded Mitch's foot placement might have wanted to look up at his depth. If the ref allows then it's the ref's fault, not the athlete. Brian, you may want to come back to the basic. I don't think I've enjoyed watching a Strongman comp like MvM the other week. None of the overly complicated nonsense that the SMoE\SC has turned into.

[@arniekando6846]

Brian, why do you allow Hooper doing half squats, look ate the comments section, we all saw it, its extremely obvious....Come on, whats going on here ?

I was so excited when they announced this event. Had high hopes. All went down the gutter. Hafthor did squats with 400kg and 5 paused reps with 380kg but unfortunately this apparatus did not allow to showcase his power. A lot zeroed and Mitch cheated. But everyone knows that Hafthor has the strongest legs in strongman and hope he will get a chance to prove it at ASC or Rogue Invitational.

​@TungstenLion I don't think it was a good event. Too many zeros and bad pretesting for the athletes

[@stealthassasin1day291]

Everytime I see Hooper's squat I always get triggered. They supposedly measured his depth lower but he said he changed his squatting position from when they were setting the depth test and on the actual lift which basically circumvented his his depth on the actual event to a higher position. It may be the the competition's fault for not having that in the rules but Hooper doing that is pretty wack in my opinion.

[@JackFate61]

Maybe hooper's coach advised that.

[@aaronrivasterron]

I think the trick Mitch used was lowering the bar down his back, knowing its fix to the apparatus, rather than rest it in the traps.This gives him that 4-5 inch height differnce.

[@vojtechkorhon4159]

He said that they actually paid attention to his bar a position in testing and he had to put it in the same place in the actual competition. The issue was with him leaning forward more when squatting under heavy weight.

[@polarbear4612]

It was a stupid apparatus and it was set wrong. I think Hooper suffers for it. He could not squat lower than what ever it was set at so not his fault. Even though I think he does well even if set correctly, maybe even wins, we’ll never know now. Also, even without that controversy, I still would much rather see a squat that is not locked in one plane. I think it hurts some lifters more than others for some reason.

[@muhammadulizshahlaeidullah]

Mitch changed the bar position from the initial testing. That is how he cheated.

[@polarbear4612]

@ Not what I heard. You better have some strong evidence if you’re going to make that kind of allegation. So where can I see his initial set up photos? Because this is exactly the kind of unsupported allegation I was talking about. The faulty setup hurt Hooper more than anyone.

[@Kragatar]

I can tell before they even start who's going to zero. Feet way too far forward. With that stupid foot placement rule, it's not a contest of strength but just a gamble whether you guessed right where your feet were going to be under the full weight.

Sorry but how is it possible to ignore that the angle of lower legs to quads look extremely different between Mitch and all the rest. His angle was way less with him in full squat position and the rest. There is a serious miscalculation with the foot placement and weight high between contestant.

It is a bit hard to see, but it may seem that how the machine is built. It will "bind" if you do not squat very straight up and down. If the mounting points on what you are lifting would be on top of the machine instead of under it, it would possibly selfalign better, since you would pull it instead of push it. It seems like a good idea, but flawed execution.

[@MrBiscuits-i5v]

Ya the bar maxes out on the bottom but look how high it travels with mitch just above the R then watch Thors his goes 12 inches or more higher then mitch his range of motion is way more.

[@Despond]

@@Kragatar But the same distance doesn't matter because everyone has different lever dimensions. So he may travel 35cm but the guy going deeper will struggle more. Body mechanics are a reality they should just have to be parallel, and if you body doesn't like that, well tough luck.

[@fruitgrapepwnage]

@@Despond Bro he doesn't achieve full ROM, regardless of anthropometry. It was not a squat and obviously the event should not have been called "squat" event. Thor could probably do 20 half squats if he knew he could get away with it. Mitchell stole this one by chance (or brains) but if the machine remains I'm willing to bet he would not even be in top 3 next time.

Hooper wasnt half squatting, he literally touched the bottom but im suprised his knees didn't make sense

Love SMOE but I hope that this doesn’t make a comback

A glorified smith machine squat that just didnt work.
