Im thinking a big part of Mitch "The Alien" Hoopers success comes from holding off competing until later on (comparatively). He was already freakishly strong when he started in the sport. He seems to recover at a ridiculous rate which could partially be down to just not being as beaten up as others from years of competing.

Bill Kaz getting banned was most likely a multi factor thing. He was very dominant which lead to a boring TV show which was the main focus of the producers at the time. Also Kaz in his prime was a bit of prick, i think the man is great now, but i remember story that Ted Arcidi told, the night before a powerlifting meet he would prank call people and knock on hotel doors to interrupt sleep and get in peoples head. Also the infamous video of him call another lifter at the gym a pipsqueak. So something tells me his braggadocious attitude and un sportsman like behaviour had something with his banning too, but hey it made him very entertaining too

That guy who said Eddie isn't an all time great is just a hater. That year (I believe it was 2017) Eddie won it all and then retired might have been strongest athlete to ever compete WSM. It certainly was in the top 3 performances ever at WSM. Anyone who is a dedicated Strongman fan could tell almost immediately that Mitch was going to win a lot of shows after his performance at his first WSM. Then watching him after that first WSM show the following year he slowly built his performances where I had it in the back of head this freak if he stays healthy he truly has a great chance of winning the most meaningful titles and being #1 of all time. I will tell you brother Pa - you were so fun at that WSM in Sacramento. Instead of going home and sulking because of the injury you stayed there and gave everyone shit (esp. Shaw lol) Great and hilarious content. I really do hope you compete again, but if you don't please stay in the irongame with this very cool PodCast.

True, but given his dominance, his age, and his years of experience, He is already dominating competition, while still having room to grow and get stronger, and also more experience and better in different lifts. There is good reason to believe that he has the potential to be the greatest of all time. He isn’t there yet. Definitely. But he’s not that far. Many people think Thor is the greatest of all time, primarily because of 1 year in which he won every competition. Mitch is showing already that he can be just as dominant as Thor was in 2018, while Mitch has room to grow. If Mitch has 1 or 2 more years where he replicates what he did this year, then he’ll go from being discussed as possibly the next goat, to being discussed as possibly the goat. And if he can hold on for more than 2 or 3 more years, while also racking on wsm wins, and maybe a deadlift record, (Which, this is less likely, but very much not impossible) then he will start to be a pretty good argument for the undisputed goat.

It’s a lot of travelling time changes, organisation, meal prep in a different country the stress of all that plus Tom has autism and clearly struggles mentality sometimes. Toms been doing these shows and wsm, for almost 8 years, Marius career was barely longer than from start to finish competing for Europes, wsm, and in their history own country. I think some people think that because Mitch can do events or shows every few weeks then Tom should be able too, but some of the guys are simply not capable of that!!

Or is that maybe just a misconception on my side? In any case he was always in the top 3 at a time where the density at the top was especially high.

02:35 I have to disagree. If you look at BigZ, he'd only push it up when he had to. Get close to beating the log record, he'd push it up, get close again, he'd push it up. If you watch BigZ do overhead he was pressing it, not a lot, if any leg drive on his lifts and he was competing against Brian in his prime as well. BigZ was a smart lifter, why go balls out when you can lift just a little bit more than the next guy.

I think Eddie Hall at his peak was probably statically the strongest, u look at his deadlift and ohp with not much leg drive, then his gym lifts. Hooper is superhuman😂

Did you see Eddie (the shittalker hall) faking another injury? Saying he tore his tricep training with Biby (the pull out king) and not a week later pressing 40kg for 60 reps.. he’s so full of 💩
