💯 great coverage, remove the buzzer

[@balbibou]

Can we get this buzzer from Rogue boutique tho

[@Steven-go1vh]

You need it for timed events accurately otherwise on the other end you'll all call it controversial for not having one.

[@joshuacarroll7046]

@ strongman events have never had any kind of buzzer; you load the last stone and the judge stops the clock, or you cross the line and the judge stops the clock etc. even here the buzzer isn't stopping the clock, they hit the buzzer and then the judge still stops his clock just the same

[@ryanbonner25]

yeeaeh defo

[@katarzynagolik]

what genius invented that buzzer ?

[@ryanbonner25]

hooper was so slick with this, an absolute athlete... an animal... combine that with dedication... and a huge new-dad heart! well done mitch! beeen enjoying the rise and rise!

[@theadamtheory8818]

The yoke needs to be heavier. Basically a sprint for some guys which makes the event go by too fast and doesn’t put the emphasis on strength. Other than that, pretty sweet.

[@aGuUU27]

Yea why not make it 1000lbs. Still pretty light for these guys but 1000lbs sounds 1000 times better then 900lbs.

[@Steven-go1vh]

@@aGuUU27 the difference wouldn't have been much at all.

[@jackreacher2095]

It's crazy that a guy 100 pounds less than everyone is capable of dominating like this

[@dyelbodybuild5601]

He’s an athlete. Everyone else is just big and strong dudes. There is quite a difference. Hooper grew up playing ice hockey and football.

[@Cain353]

Wow. It didn't take long for the snobs to come out of the woodwork.

[@haitianxu]

​@@Cain353 Truth hurts. Strongman rarely attract elite athletes because elite athletes that size have much better options for making money, so when you finally get one good athlete, this is what happens. Don't forget both Shaw and Bjornsson were pro ballers who couldn't make it in the big leagues before transitioning to strongman. There are plenty of athletes in NFL and NBA who would crush Hooper had they focused on strongman, but why would they when they're making tens of millions in other sports.

[@Cain353]

@@haitianxu Hahaha, sure buddy...

[@haitianxu]

@@Cain353 How much did Hooper, far and away the most accomplished strongman of 2024, make from competitions this year? How does that compare to the lowest base NBA rookie salary of the 24-25 season, which is 1.2 million, not counting any endorsement deals? I rest my case. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

[@Budsport_TV]

And it’s unanimous: The Fans and The Athletes *HATE THE BUZZER!!!*

[@seanwhitehall4652]

they'll get over it

[@garisons9562]

Get rid of that buzzer

[@cuzjesussaidso]

loved this event!

[@radarsone5097]

Get rid of the buzzers please...its no crossfit...amd it looks silly guys that size having to scramble for a buzzer which has nothing to do with strength 👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@davidkeller6135]

The buzzer doesn't fit, and is unnecessary. plz. no more

[@jro6497]

These rouge events are the closest things to traditional strong man on espn. Wish it was like the late 80s and 90s

[@RickLilShore]

I thought Evans was fast with the yoke but then it was Hoopers turn

[@jr_Linux]

remove that stupid buzzer, its nothing but a waist, strongman is about STRENGTH not speed and agility, this isn't a 5k run stop trying to ruin a good sport!!

[@REiiGN15]

Only kicker about this is what Rogue Invitational is about. Sure, strongman comp BUT at their Invitational they want to see a bit mobility in theirs.

[@rollinupeverest5042]

Your whiners need to shut up, did your favorite boy forget to hit the stopper and you got annoyed😂😂😂

[@haitianxu]

You're clearly not someone who actually watches strongman if you think it's only about strength. How do you think Pudzianowski become 5x WSM winner? By being strong, fast and more athletic than everyone else, that's how.

[@Karxin1000]

@@haitianxustrongman is also not about stupid gimmicks, the buzzers where pointless.

[@Ryan-wx1bi]

It didn't change anything... Good Lord, get over it.

[@beyerdr]

so I think its safe to say, the buzzer is not a popular addition to this years contest lol

[@emanuelecancedda2018]

The weights are too light. This isn’t CrossFit.

[@TheSLK66]

1000 lb yoke is definitely not light, 550 and 600 lb weights for the stairs is heavy too. Just becaused they finished the event doesn't mean it was light

[@HateThisBox]

Dude you'll be shocked to know...there was a crossfit event around this

[@Adam-bw6dj]

​The yoke wasn't 1000lbs in this comp, it was 900, probably because of the medley.

[@DadaMofetoluwa]

Gooose pimples watching this 😂😂

[@joshuacarroll7046]

love this show, but if that buzzer is around next year I won't be watching. completely unnecessary addition, only thing it adds is complexity and drama for a cheesy gimmick; this isn't freaking ninja warrior, this is strongman, they lift the weights and the judge stops the timer

[@Ryan-wx1bi]

Oh no. They will lose a whiney little baby viewer? How will they ever recover?

@@joshuacarroll7046 It removes the human error of refs with stopwatches. It's weird you're complaining about the buzzer on this event, where it's obvious the buzzer made the event better. In some other events, the buzzer was more questionable.

Why are people literally crying over a buzzer. It’s madness

[@1984kylea]

Is there anyone better on the Yoke right now than Hooper?

[@jababijamovi5088]

Nope, if there was, he would train for it. Hooper said he never trains yoke coz he is just....too good😂

[@jaybruzas225]

No, but Evan is right there too, crazy fast.

[@jlim9411]

So many children complaining about buzzers and high speed events. You guys are acting like any of the CrossFit athletes could just walk out and do the same weights these guys are doing. One of the things that makes strongman exciting is that every comp is different. If you don’t like it, stop watching and go watch powerlifting.

[@xaviermitchell578]

Thank you!

[@xshayahyawzi3666]

Defending the indefensible. Buzzer is rubbish. Its you who should stop watching strongman comps. Not us

[@xshayahyawzi3666]

Further strongman and powerlifting arent even on the same page.

[@jlim9411]

@ wow, rock solid argument from this guy right here 😂. Call it rubbish and call it a day. Really convincing. Funnily enough, the only people complaining about the button are fans and athletes who WERE NOT THERE. According to people who were behind the scenes, none of the active participants were complaining about the buzzer and didn’t have any major problems with it. Plus in the grand scheme of things, it didn’t cost anyone points on either the men’s or the women’s side. It’s a very defendable argument if you actually use your brain and aren’t too busy whining about it like a little baby.

[@jlim9411]

@@xshayahyawzi3666 you missed the entire point of the powerlifting remark. One of the things that makes strongman unique is that all competitions are the different and are never run the same way as the others. It’s up to the organizers and promoters to decide how and which events are run and it’s the athlete’s responsibility to understand the rules and adapt. I used powerlifting as an example because everyone is complaining about things being different at the rogue invitational, so they should probably stop watching strongman and go watch a strength sport where everything is regulated down to the finest detail and every meet is the same, with the same rules every time.
