Just before I left for Australia's Strongest, Fabian and I sat down to discuss long-term health in strongman. Curious to know what you think.

This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours. I keep thinking.. it's so easy for most people to look at football or hockey players, or marathon runners, or strongmen, and judge their performance and every aspect of their training/nutrition/etc but they don't realize how much one has to sacrifice physically AND mentally to perform at the highest levels. Being an athlete and going to that extreme isn't healthy. But this is what I admire so much about you. You seem to be very self-aware of what your body and mind can accomplish, and you are open to discussing it, and educating other people about it. I can't even begin to imagine how mentally tough it can be at times. I've been following your journey ever since World's and you have been a huge inspiration to me this year. Keep up the good work 😊

Thanks for sharing! Very inspirational! I had some similar experiences with success and how much mental pressure it can build up. Not comparable to your scale of 'being out there' and being a celebrity. But still I can relate to your 'being under pressure'. Specifically the time aspect of being all the time under stress wasn't great. Wish you all the best and your journey and hopefully for more videos with so many insights!

I'm 40. I began training about 2 years ago. For almost all if it, it's been outdoors. Natural stones, logs, running hills. Lifting very heavy, but a lot of movement and cardio. It felt amazing most days, and the added benefit of looking better was definitely a plus. For me, and my wife lol. I signed up for a competition in March. Began training in a gym in December. Since then, I haven't felt as healthy. Training at Night, indoors, very heavy. I have such huge respect for what you strongman go through now. I can totally see why retirement is always on a strongman mind. I'm also 40 though! So that could definitely be worsening the issue. I still love the sport, and I love the challenge and becoming stronger. I just have to start training outdoors more again. Loved this video, Mitch!

Also, understanding the challenges others face can make all the difference in the world, even if there's nothing you can do to assist other than lending an understanding ear. The goal is to simple be the best version of you that you can be, whether you choose to do that on your own or accept assistance from others.

I think PEDS is the number 1 thing that has the potential to make strongman unhealthy especially if they are uneducated in using them. And for all of you that want to think some of these guys are natural I hate to disappoint you. There are a lot of young Men and women out there that will really hurt themselves without proper guidance from intelligent athletes like you Mitch. I do understand the taboo behind talking candidly about these things, and I get why it’s not mentioned but it is the elephant in the room.

You are a definite plus to the strongman world Mitch. One thing that always gets left out is the PEDs . Most people suspect that Strongmen & women take steroids but its never really opened up about it. I personally feel it would be a beneficial next move for the sport to open up more on this subject ( and the health risks) I understand Sponsors wont like it but a change needs to become acceptable. Love watching your progress buddy, keep up the amazing work.

Mitch, thank you for your clear discussion on this. However, without discussing how prolonged PED use impacts life span and/or health span, is this not merely a partial discussion of this topic? I doubt you will respond to this but if Strongman is ever going to be a mainstream sport held in similar esteem to football, basketball and so on, the role PED's play in athlete performance and the possible negative health consequences of this deserve to be discussed. If not, it will probably continue to remain a fringe sport alongside powerlifting. Big fan of strongman BTW and your meteoric rise.

Aside from excess calories leading to weight gain, I've read that the oxidative effect of total calories consumed (processed/burned) over a lifetime is the most evidence-supported cause of being "old." Strongmen might also have more cell turnover and decrease their telomeres earlier.

there's a saying about chess that I think also applies to competitive sports. Being good at chess is the mark of a gentleman, being exceptional at chess is the mark of a wasted life. Being a competitive athlete is not healthy, but doing strongman training naturally (not enhanced), building muscle, work capacity and mobility is going to be great for your health. On a different note, when you were talking about volume as setsxrepsxload, the convention I usually see is to refer to that as tonnage and to keep volume as just sets, just to avoid confusion.

19:16 I'd love to see your backside 😂. Very insightful video. I remember Eddie talking about his retirement from Strongman before his WSM win due to the health impacts of the sport. Good that you are actively discussing and acknowledging this - its the way all sports are going.

Is it possible that you could, perhaps in an indirect way, talk about the health implications of some of the more taboo elements of sport?

It would be interesting to hear how you land on your larger athletic goals. Meaning, it seems like a pretty wild swing to go from marathon running to pro strongman, then back to an intense endurance sport like ironman.

To the average Human Health is Subjective. To the average Medical professional Health is Objective. Somewhere in the middle is where the truth lies. I was 185lbs working out 6 days a week on multiple meds for blood pressure and cholesterol @21yrs old. Blew up to 240lbs and was still on meds @42yrs old. Lost down to 175lbs and Off all meds now @44yrs old.

You're right Mitch, most of you guys would probably read the comments, someone posted on one of Eddie Halls video that they thought Evan Singleton was a nasty person, to which Edward responded it's not true and behind the scenes he's actually a good bloke, then fast forward he's one of Edwards first guests on the podcast lol.

Former pro-strongman here. Retired due to development of secondary FSGS due to the years of steroid abuse, competition, protein intake etc. A lot of risk being big for a long time unfortunately.

Volume being measured Sets X Reps X Weight has something missing when looking at its impact on the body. Think of doing your max bench say 120kg, and warmed up with 60KG for 5 nothing else, you've accumulated 300 units of volume in the easy warmup and less than half the volume in the max effort 120 unit lift. Intuitively when you're below a certain % 1RM the volume becomes basically irrelevant. This measure basically implies warmups are more high risk high stress than max effort singles in all cases.
