@@Flyxolydian91 I think what sets Mitch apart from many of competitors in strongman is that he's looking to implement innovations or techniques from other sports to strongman. That is something, which really hasn't ever been a focus of a competitor like Tom Stoltman, Eddie Hall, Hafthor Bjornsson. The more usual way is to focus on perfecting techniques that are already used in strongman competitions and on getting bigger, stronger, faster. I think eventually Mitch will have a profound impact on the world of strongman and on how certain lifts are done in competition just cause what he does is better. I don't think Tom could ever have that impact.

Allthough Hooper is indeed a very good strongman and ahead of most of the others. I think one of the reasons is that he wins so much is because the average level of strongman went down. Thor took a break, Big Z and Brian were past their prime. Martins is not what he was, Matheusz had a lot of injuries, same counts for Oleksi etc. Of course there is also no Eddie hall who easily strict pressed the 216kg axle and obviously had more in him. Would be fun to have seen hooper compete in the age of the titans.
