Strongman Monday LIVE with Special Guest Mitchell Hooper

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

One of the things I like the most about the strong man/women sport is the way an athlete will finish their event or decide they're stopping and immediately turn to cheer on their competitor. You don't see that in too many other sports these days.

[@haroldneaus6225]

I liked the buzzer, it means a true time not relying on someones thumb.

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

The refs were still split-timing the buzzer lol. It wasn't connected to anything. Just a button on a pad. They were also debating on whether early button presses were legit or did they adjust the time? It was so stupid. Worst decision in Strongman since the stone-off.

[@bronchoped]

​@a-a-rondavis9438 no the buzzer was what stopped the times...

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

​@@bronchopedstill god-awfully horrible decision. Refs know how to split-time the events now.

[@jackcostello5757]

The refs still had to split times for the guys who didn't finish.

[@giscapcal]

That buzzer gave me an idea what if each stone pedestal had a timer that stops as each stone is loaded.

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

With as fast as some of these events are, I think electronic timing is necessary. Novikov has argued for this. Maybe he'll invent something one of these days.

[@intoxicatedchocobo8370]

Congrats on the wins and successes! Liz and Loz officially GoAT’d coach? That’s a fantastic video thumbnail too btw, a keeper for sure.

[@user-pw7xy2sm8i]

I'm not just blowing smoke, Loz your commentary makes the show. Excellent not just from the experience you bring but also just as an exciting, engaging commentator. Also lol that Mitch hates the moustache jokes. His new nickname needs to be the Moosetache.

[@reelman243]

Gotta love " Make Canada great again"!!! One country at a time!!

[@dean7968]

Celebrating Mitch is great. However, people forget Thor placed 10th on pressing and still got 2nd. When pressing comes back its going to be a different result. Thats assuming he gets back to 100 percent. I currently feel Tom amd Mitch and Thor are all on same level when at 100 percent

[@bronchoped]

That's just false mitch won 8/9 comps this year. They just aren't on that level. Mitch had a rough comp and still won by 10 points. Thor hasn't improved in overhead comp results since arnolds. So there is no indication that his overhead Will ever get near back to best

[@oktaviu8668]

​@@bronchopedtrue, 100% agree. And I don't know why people put Tom at the same level as Mitch, they are delusional, sorry to say it

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

Hafthor did only 1 rep with the Apollon's Wheels at the ASC. He was credited with one rep, and that got him 4th. He has definitely improved his overhead. I was shaky on whether he'd get the 375 lb axle, and he did. To be fair, he was 5th on the overhead medley, which is pretty good considering the SMOE. The wooden log was definitely different than what the athletes were used to, and ruined some placings because of it (Bobby Thompson). It was very front-heavy, and that's why Mitch broke his back to clean the first rep. He's creeping up on Mitch and will suprise us at the ASC 2025 for sure. If he can reliably push-press 400 lbs again, he's back in the game. Mitch's pride keeps showing in these tidbits. Thor isn't claiming anything and even giving himself 2nd place to Mitch on top Strongmen of today.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

Thor is currently better at the axel too. The log, though beautiful was definitely something else for the guys, they where not expecting that.

[@bronchoped]

Thor hasn't made a single improvement on overhead. Mitch had a less than perfect weekend at Rogue and still won by 10 points. Thors pec is clearly a massive issue mentally. At this point it seems very unlikely that his pressing improves enough to get enough points

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

​@@bronchopedThor is still improving on Cyr Dumbbell, mostly a technique event however, and he's still improving on Axle. He's knocking on 400 lbs, and that's a ways away from where he started. He was grinding 330 lbs for crying out loud.

[@TL13579]

@@bronchoped People aren't realising that muscle-tear-off-the-tendon injuries are not easy to recover from and take a long time (Loz has mentioned 2 years IIRC)

[@nmaresch579]

Excited for this

[@johnpauladamovsky86]

I nominate Mitch Hooper to be the first Arch Bishop of STRONGMAN... He will then crown Zydrunas Savickas as the Legacy Grand Prelate, and living Saint.

[@dean7968]

Disagree

[@johnpauladamovsky86]

​@@tekkas4 Mitch Hooper belongs on the highlight-reel of human greatness, right between Alexander Ovechkin and Jordan Peterson. He is poised to be one of the greatest people who ever lived.

[@frederickknapp5340]

Yes, you need to watch for the right time and place. Everyone in strongman will give you a lot of time to talk or sign something or a selfie. I have spoken too many for 10 to 20 minutes. Got a selfie with all of them and have had numerous items signed. I have spoken to Loz, Liz, Mitch and others a lot. I have a Tyr hoodie signed by around 30 athletes and coaches. The only time I was put off was with Oleksii, yes, I walked up at the wrong time. He was talking to his coach about strategy. But he still gave me a few minutes.

[@jameschristy9966]

Hell fred we talked to biby for 30 minutes or so he a massive man butt nice as can be

[@jameschristy9966]

I had to kick tom stoltman out of my seat lol he got up i said set down man I'm just messing with ya

[@jarheadcoffee]

Hell yeah!

[@marcusorillius6971]

Rogue put on a great competition was thoroughly entertained. Only downer is only 5 events. But not complaining.

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

Strongman had 6 events.

[@marthacoomber3188]

I think I’m cultured to follow a team. Even in this sport I follow your mob. I have others I would like to see in what I regard as your team. It’s messing with my head❤

[@Hbfb4]

Next year - rogue in Canada

[@patrikboij7560]

I think its a tax thing Hooper does not want it in Canada.

[@Hbfb4]

@@patrikboij7560nope it’s Trudeau . He ruined Canada

[@georgemacdougallmerlin2716]

as a fellow Mitch we are kinda better than everyone!!! LOL

[@johanbarnard3435]

Mitch needs to watch some more pro armwrestlers. It's more exciting to me than even strongman. And I love strongman so that says allot. It's far more combative. Like Devon always says it's the closest you can come to fighting somebody without actually fighting them

[@Kamyen316]

Now..does mitch have a moose shirt with a mustache? 😂

[@jameschristy9966]

I have really good grip people cant believe how strong it is at the gym i lost mitch grip change at wsm this year by 3 seconds

[@tabascojoe77]

💪💪💪

[@andrekershaw6244]

It’s Hopper!

[@Adamcaudill]

Can you all help Angelica Jardine find a great coach? She is so strong and so talented and seems like she needs some direction.

[@thefattestdude]

Oh God dont shave the beard Loz?? some us have faces built for beards. me too buddy :)

[@ketz108932]

Nice

[@jaylevzi7293]

So Tom's Max Stone is counted as a world record, but Thor's deadlift isn't because it wasn't in competition ? Or did Tom do the max stone lift in competition ? Because I remember it as during Covid as the WUS records. Now I love Tom and Thor and I count both their records as World records, Thors 501 and Toms Stone. SO, Why so much debate if ppl count Tom's lift as fine and why not Thors ? Is this the Eddie effect ? Discuss :) (I apologise if I missed the WR Stone lift in competition by Tom, but I don't think I did)

[@elliottengstrand5988]

It's the Eddie effect combined with the fact that people probably just care more about the deadlift record. Because you're right, there's no logical consistency in the opposition.

[@marcusorillius6971]

I didn’t mind the buzzer but I’m not a competitor
