It is absolutely unreal that you’re that fit and can move that well while also being the strongest person on the planet. Props man!

[@Get_fitwith_Dee]

I’m absolutely obsessed with this dude 💪🏾 I literally laughed out loud when that bar went straight up with no breaks and killer speed. Like WTF?!??! His strength and attitude are the reason I skip my happy ass through 2+ workouts everyday. So freaking inspirational. 💪🏾

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

Appreciate you 💪

I'm hoping the tone is just lost in the video and it was all jokes but that Jayson guy seemed so rude at bits

Katrin puts on a clinic in doing work. She is such a machine.

[@calebgodard4554]

Great video! Thanks, Mitch!

[@CleanFinish2023]

In all seriousness, you may be the worlds strongest man, you are also the fittest worlds strongest man there has ever been (in the 26 years I’ve been following strongman I have never seen anyone like you)💪👍

[@stephensundet8472]

Love seeing Hooper killing it in this video!!!! I still don't understand the kip swingup "pullup" followed by the faceplant seal pushup "burpee." I know it's what they do to win Crossfit, but it's the same as cheating the viking press, or not locking out a log press and calling those reps as "part of the sport." Hooper's pullups and burpees were on point. Very impressed at how well he can move his huge frame, with good form.

[@Brett.D]

Agreed...those fish slap 'muscle ups' are just a joke...crossfit is a good concept, but replacing form with momentum makes it the red headed step child of the sports world...

[@ShawnSmiths]

@@Brett.D 💯

[@gordongoodwin6279]

Yeah the “burpees” shown in both his CrossFit vids done by the supposed CrossFit experts were an absolute joke

[@Tom.P-xv]

The aim of the sport is different. Take the muscle up, a good rep is (more or less) defined as going from beneath the bar to the top position, only touching the bar with your hands. The aim is to do it as effieciently and quickly as possible. The swing allows you do that movement using as little muscular force as possible. The form isn't wrong, its just a different exercise, maybe it should be named differently. Same with a burpee, you have to touch the floor with your chest at one end and jump at the other - no need to do a stict pushup, and its more efficient to essentially fall to the floor than it is to lower yourself down.

[@Brett.D]

@@Tom.P-xv Agreed, the exercises should have new names as they are misleading...same as people who called almond juice by its misleading name of almond 'milk'...

[@hugostuvel6643]

Amazing but insane😮

[@dango9786]

I've never watched crossfit but i dont understand how the form on those muscle ups and burpees are allowed *Suppose its more a cardio thing than a strength thing

[@allylilith5605]

it's optimization to the point, where it looks ridiculous to anyone who isnt from within the community, similar to 1inch rom on benchpresses in powerlifting. to me it also doesnt look like a burpee or a muscle up, but rather a throw yourself on the ground and bounce up and a bar swing. the rules probably are "lie on the ground and get up" and "get in a dip position and back down again" I imagine, which this technically qualifies for and is the most "efficient" way of filling those criteria

[@lancefitzhenry5410]

@@allylilith5605 You're correct, the crossfit burpee standard is chest and thighs to the ground, then standing with a jump. Pretty simple, they are just trying to do them in the most efficient way possible since they are racing the clock. The bar muscle-up isn't being done strict (in this workout), so again they are trying to do them the most efficient way possible by doing a gymnastics kip. This is to help build momentum to get themselves over the bar and to lock out the dip on top. Muscle-ups (bar and ring) are very taxing and a difficult movement to master (Jason and Katrin are literally top 0.1% of crossfitters, so they make them look easy). Give one a try next time you're in a gym. Crossfit incorporates a lot of gymnastic movements. "Kipping" is a part of that.

[@calvinstump3323]

Love to see you do a benchmark like Isabel or Fran. Don't think you could do grace with mobility issue.

[@animalbasedguy9488]

That was cool. When you scale muscle ups do pullups and dips. It's still easier but a better race.

[@e.c.9468]

Strongman is a bit of a mix between powerlifting and crossfit , and I love that ! They got the best of both sports adding the entertaining side of strongman

[@dantethunderstone2118]

Strongman is just super heavyweight CrossFit

[@deltalima6703]

Disagree. Strongman is midway between powerlifting and bodybuilding. It honestly only exists because powerlifting is too similar to crossfit these days.

Name a gym where throwing the weights down, each rep won’t get you kicked out. Other than a private gym of course.

Almost every CrossFit box I’ve worked out at.

[@justplinkin4809]

@@Jordy-927 I’ve been in hundreds of gyms, not CrossFit, and if you just drop the weights, you are done.

[@Jordy-927]

@@justplinkin4809 I've been at probably 25 different CrossFit gyms. Only 1 had a no dropping rule. They shared the space and it had wood floors under the removable rubber that would easily crack. Most strongman gyms are cool with weight dropping too. As long as it's bumper plates not iron ones. The iron ones can snap in half if you drop them, dangerous and needlessly expensive. Bumper plates are made to be dropped.

[@justplinkin4809]

@@Jordy-927 I guess that explains it. I’ve never been to a CrossFit gym, actually never knew they existed, I’ve been in powerlifting and bodybuilding gyms with steel plates and even the ‘girly’ gyms with an abundance of machines only the girls used with the corner set up with free weights when I was on the road and could find nothing else. Heck, I’ve been kicked out for making too much noise, using chalk, and so on, from many of those ‘pretty’ gyms. I’m in my 60s now, wrecked my back at work so I only do what I can with stuff at home now but I love seeing what is being done these days.

[@Jordy-927]

@@justplinkin4809 I almost got kicked out to the navy gym on the base I was stationed at one day for making too much noise when I failed a squat, and the bar was caught by the safety arms. I hear you. I only got into CF in my late 30s. I wish I would have ignored all the people making fun of it earlier in my life. I'm old enough now to just disregard what people think of the things I like. Lol I really like the ability to drop weights. It makes trying for PRs in my Olympic lifts more feasible. I train from home now, and even though I have bumper plates, I think dropping a couple hundred lbs in my attached garage would crack the floor and shake the whole house. I have a set of rogue crash pads in my cart, just waiting for a deal on shipping, lol.

Don't worry about haters, most of them are regular gym bros who are jealous of women lifting twice their max for reps for 10 minutes straight

[@Brett.D]

Try to understand that someone disagreeing with you is not a 'hater'...there are practical reasons why crossfit is a joke in many respects, lack of form in favour of momentum being a key one...if you are happy to perform Frankenstein burpees and muscle ups, then go for it...but expect people to comment...it's called the real world, and sometimes we need to peek our head outside of our echo chambers to see what is really going on...

@@Brett.D Have you actually read some of the comments? They are hateful, especially against the women.

​@@andrewgilbertson5356I'm worn out from the misuse of the word 'hate'...I believe that everyone has the right to express their opinion...if that opinion results in someone feeling offended or hurt, that is frankly the reality of the world. Everyone is so caught up in 'safe spaces' and censoring the voice of others, that we are closed to reaching a state of peak offence. Along with that, not many people have the courage of their convictions, and so they need to be protected from differing opinions...diversity is the freedom to be who you like, and not a fake form of tolerance which is in reality propaganda and censorship...I dislike many things I see, read and hear...BUT the dislike does not give me the rationale to label it as hate..that is weak and shows an inability to defend my opinion, which I will always do respectfully...all the best...
