excellent video!! You do a collaboration with @zacktelander , it would be incredible if you could do a collaboration with @clarence0 (he has already recovered from the foot injury.)

[@brandoncinpubadj]

If you want to torture yourself for 72 hours fasting, I would watch that! lol That is torture no matter who you are, let alone for a man that eats 6 times a day normally.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

Fasting for 72 hours might be the hardest thing I ever do but if this comment gets 500 likes, I’ll try it 👀

[@brianpolston9713]

Nah don't do it. Borderline dangerous, especially for your muscle mass and leanest. I eat 3k at maintenance and just naturally have a high metabolism and broke my leg years ago and lost 10 lbs in just one day from being in the hospital.

[@ryangilmartin7892]

​@@brianpolston9713no.

[@jonjetmore4018]

That's called water weight though lol 10lbs of fat or muscle would be you burning 35,000 calories a day, at rest. Aka not possible. @@brianpolston9713

[@JeatBunkie]

@@brianpolston9713it is not dangerous hahah, in fact it is likely extremely good for you. As long as you hydrate and take some electrolytes you’re totally fine not eating for 3 days

Biggest take away from this whole video..... Mitch finally got a rice cooker! No more "chuck it in the microwave" #LHBK

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

To be honest, I still prefer the microwave 😂

[@BradyKeenan-c9q]

​@mitchellhooperstrongman watching you not wash the rice then put it in the microwave killed me inside lmao

[@MC-ep8cu]

your core bracing PDF changed my life.

[@zakuraayame5091]

I've been getting up between 3:30 and 4 for months now; body decided, not intentional. My alarm is for 4:30; I work at a horse farm 45 minutes away and need to be there by 6:30. I was a night owl most of my life. Worked several overnight shifts over the decades. Now early to bed, early to rise, 8-17 miles on foot walking horses, 2-3 hours shoveling muck and tossing full 30 gallons buckets of muck, carrying 5 gallon in each arm filling waters in up to 30 stalls, and more.

[@roidwizard2679]

I appreciate you showing how a strength athlete might adapt to Jocko's recommendations. I've followed Jocko on and off for years but began to branch off from where his path usually goes

[@FuriosoDrummer]

At this point I want "No Stone Unturned" to never come out and Mitch to say it's coming soon in every video for three years, would be an incredible running gag.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

First episode comes out this Sunday, stay tuned 💪

[@aleaarnett6003]

Would love to see you and Dr. Peter Attia discuss Strongman and longevity. Although being heavier for this sport would seem to be a negative for longevity, Dr.Attia’s emphasis on a strength/longevity connection may prove that everyone should do Strongman, or at least train heavier than current recommendations for the average Joe.

[@bennunyour4121]

You and Jocko collaboration, heck yeah 👍

[@rampage3337]

6:23 there you go man that's litteraly it. all these motivational speakers don't actually know the struggle. they are comfortable and use to doing what they do. there is no question in your head you just do. i don't get how people don't understand that the brain is what controlls you. if the brain ain't in the right mind set then it ain't that easy to go against it. that's why going to the gym every day the first month sucks but the months after that you still find the motivation and will power to hit the gym even though it was a bad day.

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

Physique is noticably improved! You look leaner and muscles bigger.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

The bodybuilding offseason seems to paid off 👀

@@mitchellhooperstrongman aesthetics are branding sir!

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

@mitchellhooperstrongman I appreciate you. You’ve become a huge inspiration and motivator to me and I wanted to say thank you. I’m in my mid 40’s. Diabetic with neuropathy in my legs, ankles and feet. Also a back and neck disability and a weak hip. I’m 6’3” and currently about 380 lbs. It’s a long story but I was close to 500 lbs of obesity. I lost a lot of weight from depression and got down to 360 lbs then gained some back over the holidays. (Depression led to unintentional water fasting every few days.) So I needed to get my mental health right so I can get my physical health right and to do that I recently joined a gym. I have to take it easy but I’m hoping I’ll be able to turn this bad weight into positive strength and to reverse the effects left by an extremely poor diet and severe depression. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration and motivation. I look forward to see what’s next.

[@garylacoursiere4413]

Raijin, I'm a powerlifter, and I know of a great many people who got into this sport as a result of exactly the kind of sitiation you are in. They needed a change and the gym/barbell became their mental and physical therapy. Go slow, look after your body and great things will come for you! Correct form is key - you can't train properly if you keep injring yourself. Good luck with your journey!

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

⁠@@garylacoursiere4413Thank you. I am taking it slow just so I don’t injure myself. Working around the neuropathy has been the biggest challenge.

This is the first video I have seen of urs and have to say I love it!!

[@Na5k1]

The "you're not starving, you're just hungry" thing really started to make sense after the first time I did a 72 hour fast myself. For me it's more of a "You're not hungry, you just WANT TO eat" but same thing. Really helped me to stop snacking and get some sense to my eating. Definitely would like to see how a fella you're size and eating habbits would pull that off.

[@michaelmullins1290]

Its interesting watching you take on other people's programs. I think yours has been working pretty good. Stay healthy, glad you're not fighting. Hate you dont get the money.

[@christianpickett8822]

Looking great man, would love to see a fast but maybe a 36-42 max to start off with just to see how your body reacts would be fun for us to watch. Love the content

[@CaliforniaCarpenter7]

I don't know if I could live such a disciplined life and not just lose my shit. Some people have an incredible amount of fortitude that seems incomprehensible to me. Jocko is definitely worth looking up to, and I'm glad he's around for younger generations to take inspiration from.

[@aldarsierra]

+1 for the collab!

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

[@MalefiicusSTR]

I'm pretty sure a strongman fasting is the origin story for Godzilla. At least that's what they teach us in US schools. Anyway, Canada doesn't need you going Godzilla and stepping on all the mooses.

[@Coltrane45]

I work out at 445 each morning as well - not because of jocko; but bc thats the only time I can get it in while my kids are asleep! Great video as always

[@prgnify]

If I understand Jocko, he would absolutely have you on a different diet, at least in frequency. He is big in "goal orientation", and some goals, like staying at 300+ pounds and lifting 500kg, need the body to be fuelled more frequently. Your stomach would burst if you tried to fit all the nutrients you need in one meal (for example)

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

That’s fair, just wanted to stick as close to his regimen as possible for the video’

[@prgnify]

@@mitchellhooperstrongman Absolutely! For the video it makes sense. Was just noting because you felt the need to justify your carbs and the yogurt oj. Either way, just droping .... Engagement

[@MattMaresca]

Mitch's forearms are looking jacked. I assume it's all the training for the grip-heavy Arnold's......

[@hardchooligan]

Damn i was hoping jocko would actually be in the video yelling at you lol

[@stevepaul9452]

Thank you for the motivation sir

[@M1keDaly]

Interesting video. The whole no eating before training is learned. That was the protocol when I went to dive school. You wake up, you do morning pt, then you eat breakfast. As far as the 72 hour fast, I imagine you would doing this after your upcoming fight with Hall and the Arnold at the end of the month. I have a drink you can mix that works well giving you electrolytes and controlling your hunger. I'll bring it up Thursday at check in.

[@Patriotsfan12345]

Good luck at the Arnold’s. Can’t wait to see what results come from your prep.

[@jonsmith9728]

That would be a badass collab, definitely for it, funny thing is too i was in college when jacko really got big, one of my buddies in the marines at the time was hanging out with a few of the seal teams and got to meet him (marines and navy are of the same branch here in the US, just different units)… as for diet it depends really, ill do 12-hr fasts with cutting, I do low-carb high fat and really just control calories through the number of meals I’m having… 3 for cutting, 4 meals for maintaining, 5 for bulking

[@CraigularjJoeWoodworks]

[@brianmcnamara5890]

You and Loz could be the perfect minds to propose standardized equipment specs for records as well. Ie: Log record must be on greater than 12 inch diameter log and minimum 10 feet wide. Axle record on 2 inch bar with fixed weights DL is on x type of bar, suit allowed (which sucks)... Stone record must to a platform of 50 inches.... Whatever it is. Of course comps can have records on their own stuff (elephant bar, stone runs etc.)

[@fredkemp1444]

Hi Mitch, not sure if this is any thing new. But for breakfast I enjoy a bag of frozen vegetables, a cup of rice, 5 scrambled eggs, and a can of mushroom soup all mixed together. Great food and goes down quick and easy. Thanks for all your doing! See you in Ohio💪💪

Hi Kodi- we’ve passed your comment over to our customer service team. Please check your email for additional details on your order 💪

[@dylanshapiro3292]

My understanding of fasting is that when you are not producing digestion hormones that your body will go into a ‘clean out’ mode where it looks to remove damaged cells and byproducts, rather than to add to the existing cells. My non-professional interpretation of this is that it would help reverse the growth of tumors and cancer, along with antioxidants.

[@seanwhitehall4652]

It's noon and I'm still in bed. Granted, I'm sick and this is a strategic decision for today.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

Rest up 💪💪

[@shaunmelville570]

I exercise/lift every day but getting up at 4am just looks miserable

[@jRoy7]

I'm a fan of intermittent fasting and aiming for 2 meals a day within an 8 hour window (less when possible). But as a professional athlete that needs to maintain a high body weight, that's totally incompatible with your needs. :)

I’m sorry, but my 4 PM workout where I’m actually awake loose and willing to work a lot harder is better than a 4 AM workout even though I don’t take a picture of my alarm clock and post it to Instagram every day 😂

I don't understand the benefit of waking up early. Your day doesn't become magically longer just because you're waking up at 4am instead of 10am. You still need the 8 hours of sleep everyone else needs. You still do the things (training, working) everyone else does.

It's been interesting to me how many humans will conflate Jocko's overall message about discipline and being honest with one's self with having to do precisely what Jocko does. That's missing the message, and I think people like Mitchell display that.
