A lot of great moments, saw you in the behind the scenes at OSG supporting Loz and helping out. Love that you don’t let the prestige change who you are. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

💪💪💪

[@torringtonstonekeeper]

Hooper broke the record for most prize money earned in competition this year. But he deserves much more

[@JTD472]

Also that is the worst Arnold impression I’ve ever heard I think lol

[@xaviermitchell578]

i've done similar and have had my friends laughing at me 😂

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

😅😅

[@bennunyour4121]

My Favorite moment of your year was seeing you and Brian on top of the stairs at the Shaw Classic. Beautiful moment

[@stellerpleb.6530]

Sports constantly evolve. Your heading the change to this sport right now. Good job man.

[@Micheldied]

I just want to say that the video from.the back of the log press at the Rogue shows that his lockouts weren't bad at all.

[@seanwhitehall4652]

For me it was the iron bull: you learned from watching the other guys, dug deep, and broke the trend of the group.

[@daltonmason62]

The look on Brian's face watching you pick up that dumbbell 😂

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

"what an idiot" hahahaha

[@pycassoclaudiu]

430 kilo log for reps. Damn. Some people can't even deadlift that much.

[@friedrichzizek6700]

its pounds not kg

[@espenstoro]

Definitely not 430kg 🙃

[@headhuterdk]

The hug with the family was touching. But another competitor helping out is a salute to the spot! Good go boys!

[@AmphibianFiend]

I remember watching your response to Loz’s athlete video for WSM 2022, insane how far you’ve come in the sport for such a short amount of time

[@emobuddha]

That Yoke carry is so impressive

[@chachicullopapi]

This video is legendary. Go off man

[@imccrae1]

Happy to have such a stand up fella on top and representing the sport 🖖🏻

[@electricsheepdream]

Impossible to pick one moment since so many! The 🦀 was memorable (have the t-shirt!) Hoping for some yoke action in 2024

[@aussiebodie]

Seeing your Mums reaction made me tear up.... as a parent I could imagine what she was going through.... great stuff big fella. Still making Mum proud.

[@snipescore3302]

Mitch you are a class act don’t ever stop being you

[@jonnylieberman]

Bro... All that, PLUS meeting Arnold. Amazing.

[@petemurphy7164]

Great year

[@andrewwebster15]

Congratulations on a great year!

[@richardmoen8822]

Great year!

[@user-zh9mz7jg7e]

Congratulations Mitch ! Thanks for bringing Canada the title and being a class act along the way. Cheers champ ! May 2024 be another strong year for you.

[@beloslavbelchev8062]

Your mindset is so positive , so joyful . I respect you for being literally the strongest human on the earth , but I respect you more for keeping that amazing mindset . I have a lot to learn from you man

[@BMGrilla60]

You have had an incredible year indeed. My favorite moment was you completing the stones at WSM as that win changed your life as you said. What is equally impressive to me is how much effort you have put into leveraging that win ( and your subsequent wins) into as much as humanly possible. A true self made success story!

[@hulkslayer626]

Absolutely amazing feats! 2023 was definitely the Year of the Moose 🫎 lol Love the recap and LOVE that you included behind the scenes moments as well, like Martins helping you and lifting that enormous dumbell lol Also loved your shirt at OSG lol

[@daltonmason62]

@14:00 THAT is why strongman is the best sport on the face of the earth

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

Agreed!

[@shanellepace2313]

What an incredible year you had 🎉 well done!

[@vitorbelfort]

Congratulations on all a great year Mr Hooper. Happy for your success.

[@antoniorojas351]

What an amazing year for you…there’s just so much to be proud of…keep it up

[@calebgodard4554]

Incredible year! Thanks for the video Favorite performance of yours was at the log at Rogue. Knew the victory was probably off if you got 7 or 8 reps so to see you get the last one especially having read the rules was great

[@xxacidmv]

. Such an incredible year.

[@intoxicatedchocobo8370]

Didn’t start watching till later in the year but my favorite part was seeing the training leading into shaw, that log press pb video seemed pretty epic and it’s cool to see the effort people are putting in to be their best at whatever it is they do.

[@michaelscott_aka_db_saf]

I was a few feet away in the crowd for your crab walk that was awesome. One of your best moments you missed was visiting the fans in the rain before day 1 of WSM.....great 2023 looking forward to seeing what you do in 2024 #lhbk #teammoose

[@925beats]

Great content

[@xaviermitchell578]

awesome to recap

[@fizzybossyt8675]

You are a massive inspiration Mitchell, I have had an interest in strongman for years but now im motivated to attempt to become a strongman one day because of you

[@gorgon5950]

I remember becoming a fan seeing you do my first Giants Live at the Hydro. World Tour Finals 2022! Insane show and credit too you Mitch for giving a lot back too Strongman!

[@danielbabyrage8522]

Mitch you had a stellar year thats for damn sure. Hail the CrabKing

[@drsergen]

I don't just watch because you won't. I watch because you've inspired me. We also live in the same area of Ontario.

[@ceasersherniateddisk8614]

I think your best 2023 moment is eating Ice cream with me and the boys and the shaw classic expo

[@jeremiahgriffin9428]

Big 4 here you come! . #LHBK

[@amusingautomatons2692]

I really like that idea of 1000 lbs for 20m being the "100m sprint" for strongman

[@Xecutioner555]

Congrats on an amazing year!! Curious what equipment such as belt/straps/shoes/sleeves and compression clothing you wear for these comps and whether you change them much based on the event?

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Get well soon

[@high-captain-BaLrog]

You are damn strong wow!!

[@joshyrj]

LHBK!

[@mad_hatter_9431]

My favorite is when you walked out at WSM like 3 hours after the comp was over and a lot of people had gone home, just to offer a plate of food to someone who wanted it. Was hilarious

[@TheEpicMMO]

What I have noticed is you always talk about it feeling good at competition days. Meaning you did a really good job at recovering before the show. I am wondering, what do you usually do in the week or weeks leading up to a show in terms of recovering? Do you do deloads, just don't go to the gym at all, do sauna's etc. What do you do to maximize the recovery aspects to reach that 'feel good' moment on showdays

[@hughphillips5129]

Arguably the most successful year of any strongman and certainly the most impressive rookie year ever. A certain stoltman has got his eyes set on you for 2024 tho!

[@TL13579]

Form on the log at the Arnold was very good. What happened later on that you started the incline bench form?

[@blulu8620]

Move weight

[@liamc7097]

The only problem with this is how do you follow it in 2024 😅 quite a remarkable year.

[@abdullahyusof4739]

0:54 “It’s a 430 kilo log lift for reps”

[@ThorsHammer88]

I really want to see you vs Mateusz on the yoke. He’s probably 2nd of all time.

[@robertterrazas7013]

Hey my guy

[@bonniebryan6216]

❤

[@entropy2100]

Excuse me? No mention of the Australian international?

[@DreJr]

Hopefully, I've broken my streak of getting to relevant videos late, lol. Having competed with a really prepared Brian at the Shaw Classic do you now wish you got to co Pete against him in his prime?

[@JTD472]

FUCK YEAH MOOSAYYYYYYY

[@TheSLK66]

Wanna see you pull 1000+ on the elephant bar, just because Brian and Thor are kinda saying everyone's a bit weak nowadays not going above 1000.

[@thedukeoftbc]

I was disappointed there was no Space Cowboy when Colin came onto screen. :(

[@espenstoro]

Bet you weren't ready for that

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

👑🦀🍁❤

[@Thulgore]

I would love to see you and Mateusz train together. If someone can figure out his "weakness" and fix it, it would probably be you. Also you two seem on almost the exact opposite of the spectrum based on personality.........but remarkably similar in weird abilities. I know it seems weird to ask a strongman to figure out how to fix something for the competitor. Fuck it. lol.

[@QueenToKingOfSpades]

Practicing deadlift variations from the floor do not help your lockout.... Mitch you're a smart guy, but that's incorrect.
