Road To Rogue 2024 | Ep.2

Started following Mitch the day he beat Brian in his group at 2022 WSM when he had

[@DavidVirtanen]

I Started Following Him After He Won The Arnold Classic Last Year But I Was Knew To The Sport

[@SpudFarmer]

Yeah, well, I followed him before he was officially invited to WSM during his campaign to get noticed. Welcome to the channel

[@ScotB-j7o]

I'm in a similar situation. Super fun and exciting to see such a talented athlete enjoy such success (well deserved success, at that!). The Rogue show should be GREAT!

[@u04pww2]

​@@SpudFarmer Yea, well I started following him when he won 1st place entering his mother's egg, strongest sperm in Canada. Spunk heavy, be kind.

[@fredesti1]

I started following him when he got the invite. Crazy how things changed so quickly in the sport. I really feel like there's a pre Hooper era, and there's going to be a post Hooper era. The guy's a phenomenon!

[@peytonscoggin3746]

You know it’s gonna be an epic performance when Mitch is coming in saying he’s feeling dangerous and is going to wipe the floor with Thor. Also loving this new rivalry and sportsmanship between Mitch and Thor. It’s so much fun to watch as a fan

[@Random18937]

Thanks for adding KGs editor

[@EscoDesco1]

Ja Danke!

[@Mallen1847]

adding things like the weights of the stones and explaining the events is so helpful for people who have no idea what's strong man competitions are Thank you!

[@vincentsimonis2316]

Thank you for adding KGs :)

[@sergiupobereznic]

In answer to your question at the end; YES. You're also 100 pounds lighter, several inches shorter, and seemingly still improving. Absolute beast. It must be quite confronting for the bigger guys. Can't wait. Go Mitch.

[@BriannaMoore-h7l]

Your work you put into this is so clear!

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

My other half ordered me the LHBK hoodie and beanie hat combo, they've just arrived and i love them! Highly recommend purchasing💪👍

[@Mar.wanJaniol]

Such a talented creator, no joke!

[@connorfraser1278]

I think 8/9 probably gets you to the best calendar year season. Winning through to the WSM 2025 and then winning that event I think would give you the indisputable best 12 month stretch in strong man history

[@cisrael468]

Yeah on one hand with Thor out of WSM and GL those comps mean a little “less” but you can only beat who shows up and Mitch has done that with dominance

[@hannibalb8276]

@@cisrael468 I mean Mitch dominates thor in all comps anyways when thor does actually show up, so it really doesn't matter at this point

[@TrenSteggell]

@@hannibalb8276dominates? I don’t think that’s the right word.

[@hannibalb8276]

@@TrenSteggell Uh he just beat him by 9 points in the last comp so..

[@tomjakeway3424]

@@hannibalb8276thor won 5 of 9 events, just his pressing isn’t where it used to be since he tore his pec. To put it in perspective if Thor and Mitch were the only ones competing Thor would’ve beat Mitch but obviously he was bottom on pressing so lost a ton of points there

[@mikesbbody]

You're sounding confident and looking in great shape good luck MItchell!

[@vince52477]

2:19 The best mentality to live by. Thanks Mitchell!

[@BuffPomsky]

Training vids will always be the best!

[@Basement-Arm]

“Kicking Thor’s ass”! If that doesn’t get you off the couch and into the gym then nothing will! The man’s confidence is infectious. Go get ‘em hoop!

[@Nope145]

So what I'm seeing is, Mitch is going to win the rogue invitational.

[@EDtheIslander]

Love it. The rest of the guys better bring the best version of themselves 💪💪💪💪💪

[@daltonmason62]

Can't wait to see how this weekend pans out! Gotta be honest, though, I might be more excited for the women's comp...

[@roberthodges2020]

Really looking forward to seeing you at your best at the Rogue meet!

[@jemclenachan]

LHBK reminds me of my life time of “play hard, play fair, nobody hurt”. That was from a Kiss comic book I had in the 70’s.

[@McWhatevs]

8:35 looks like old mate in the background loaded up too much weight and he's gone "aw shit" as the SMOE is in the background filming!! You got it dude 🤛

[@janosch2857]

man I just love the hooper vibe!

[@cyantha]

Always love the training footage!

[@DavidVirtanen]

Same 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@douglasnisbet1189]

Mitch vs Thor battle is going to be epic.

[@bobbydavis4144]

Only thing going to stop this man is death itself. Stay strong, stay healthy, stay committed! God it's awesome seeing your progress and to say it's motivational is an understatement I can't fully articulate with words. 💪😎

[@BrandonBigB956]

I can't wait to start lifting heavier again, but with 2 bulging disc it's going to be awhile. At least I can still bench and use the leg machines while I heal up.

[@vict3071]

Lift Heavy, and Don't tell people how you got a black eye 😅

[@cisrael468]

Not to be that guy but Mitch acccctttttually had the 3rd best time on the inver stones at 27 seconds behind Trey and Martins both at 23. Still crazy good for a guy not known as a great stone lifter

[@ZachariahMccully]

Get the gym to install a winch to return the sled so you can save energy and recoverability for more arm over arm work lol. Im mostly kidding, Im so genuinely impressed with how hard these workouts must be to get through. Thanks for always inspiring.

[@yonakopolovich333]

Don't count down, Tom! he will come back and bring all his power in this competition 😅

[@MarkHaveron]

Good luck Mitch 🫡

[@Fortress333]

Hi Mitchell, I would like to say thank you. I suffered from suicidal moods for a time and while lifting made these thoughts go largely away, I sometimes overcompensated and put too much strain on my nervous system, but your advice on recovery (sleep, nutrition, and knowing when the nervous system is overloaded) really helps. Also the 2 to 5% rule helps a lot. So thank you and good luck at the Rogue Invitational. I have no doubt you will do very nicely indeed :) I still need to work on not being annoyed so much by loudmouth ego lifters at the gym. Maybe I should wear earplugs or something.

[@regharman1]

Do it Mitchell. Another great performance by the 'Master' 😉

[@MattyBryan95]

Scary how good you’re looking right now 😮😮😮

[@JamesPilchak]

Yup, win the Rogue and you have my vote for best strongman season ever. Of course, that and $43 Canadian will get you a LHBK t-shirt... 😆

[@ryleeh7007]

Let's go Moose! i want to see you fullfilll your prediction!

[@cliffpereira4280]

Might want to add a 1/4 plywood to that platform. The existing groove could throw you off at comp. Good luck at Rogue

[@nevakos24]

Best of luck!!!

[@Idaho4x4Bronco]

LHBK. Goodluck Mitch 💪

[@imccrae1]

Best wishes! Hope it's a knock down, drag out between you, Tom and Thor. Be SUPER unkind to them!!! 😆😆

[@kizzmitten1]

nice but no chance man. I dunno, super close anyway. Exciting!

[@bigslimdog1350]

Yes, best year of all time

[@BolFelix]

When I started following this DUDE after WSM2022 i didnt think he'd be THAT good. But 3rd at stones? That'd just mean you're so consistent you'd be pretty much untouchable

[@erinodonnell386]

If you want to be the best, you have to compete against people who are at their best.

[@nealstaten5193]

good luck at Rogue I think you are going to kill it

[@springhillfitness6837]

Careful with the no tacky stones, they put a lot of strain on the bicep tendons

[@johnmurphy3798]

Another clean slate coming up in Rogue me thinks😮

[@joik3308]

Thor ain't winning much against Mitch without his pressing power fully back , after that we will see some results.

[@SRR34]

Paused my Lions crushing the Packers to watch this

[@DenisGjona]

Is there a particular warm up u do to avoid a bicep tear in these type of lifts?

Will you attempt any records at the end of the show ?

[@jtf2dan]

tried buying the Mutant merch at the link but it doesnt have canada in the drop down menu for countries to mail to..... do they not sell to Canada?

[@jonnylieberman]

This is better than Thor's 2018 -- because if your hands hadn't ripped apart, you had WSM in the bag.

[@BaronB-oo7xe]

Are the tyr lifting shoes worth it? And are they a good choice for a first pair?

[@TheSLK66]

Unleash the Moose!

[@cartercowden3897]

Was at you gym early today 🥰

[@JaceLovesStrength]

I'm not going to say that a win here usurps what Thor did. What I will say is... "I keep waiting for you to make an official video where you call your shot and declare that you WILL win Arnold's, SMOE, WSM, and Rogue next year."

[@adamcroker_hg]

...while you are "hanging out a bit", check out the new Highland Games setup!

[@johnyoung5413]

For me yes if you win rogue it’s a better overall year than Thor had in 2018. Both 3 major wins (4 for Thor if you count Europe’s as a major) but you have more comps in total for the year

[@commentwarrior]

Thor didn't get beaten tho. He won everything. If you get beaten at one single comp you are out of conversation in my opinion

[@eliaslarsson2310]

Good luck Mitch, where can i see the rogue livestream?

Yes Mitchell You Have The Greatest Strongman Year Of All Time In 2024 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👑👑👑

[@DreJr]

If you win I think we have to say it's better in absolute terms, but relatively I would say on par. I think you would have won the same amount of major shows and Thor didn't have as many high level international competitions available to him back then.

[@king-rabbit]

Maybe next time, just rotate the sled and start pulling from another side. It will save you some energy.

[@kabarube]

Lets go!

looking great brother but I think you do need a WSM win in your streak to beat Thor.

[@Jim-zz1rv]

just a matter of time though

[@iaminside1]

Have you ever dropped a stone on your toes? Oh man I fear for that mirror after behind the stones.

[@chad9037]

Yes

[@hulkthedane7542]

Going to kick someone's ass in a competition is expected.... as a statement and as a goal. If you do not want to kick ass, why would you go to the competition..?? I am looking forward to see, IF you can beat Hafthor, he seems to be getting STRONG. I am especially intrigued by Tom - he says, the last 3 weeks with a nu ew coach has worked wonders, and he is on home ground. Go fight. May the best man win. 👍

[@jackgreensmith377]

Hooper saying hes stronger than hes ever been 😭 scary times for the rest of the comp

[@Nolan-55]

6 one way, half a dozen to the other. 8/9 or perfect season of 6 or 7 shows I think Thor had? You can make arguments either way. I personally would have them tied. Maybe the one caveat, Thor could possibly have the argument of beating better top end competition. You can argue Kiels, Licis, Shaw, Big Z are better competition than everyone now besides Thor and Tom. 2018 also had the best competitor to never win a major show in JF.

[@McWhatevs]

Did you not set two world records and equal the world record on a third event (definitely with more in the tank btw)?

[@maartenn2217]

I feel like you're going to smoke every comp where you're not getting injured. Right now there's no stopping you

Bud the mutant nation website don’t even sell to Canada 😢

[@brezlerllc9994]

Many of the comps have ended with Mitch only having to lift one stone… watching his stone lifts in this video, I’m wondering if that’s how the Invitational is going to go…

[@brezlerllc9994]

Also, Thor’s 2018 year is one year. Your podiums and wins are a multi-year continuum. No contest.

[@user-he8lq8ny3v]

The stone event is event 3 so no

The chances of you seeing this comment are low, but thanks for being awesome Mitch you’re a huge inspiration and definitely one of the coolest worlds, strongest man competitors!

[@jaycordner3890]

You are by far the best strongest man in the world at the moment BUT WSM is the ultimate goal and pinnacle which usurps the others so for that only I think Thors is better.

[@MrSmith804]

Try to at least not bend the rules and blowing Shaw for easy wins this time around. While your consistency is amazing, you also like to "cheat" to win events, have some decency.

[@jtf2dan]

as per your question at the end....I think with you beating thor everytime in the last three comps, that if you beat him here as well, with all your wins this year, it definitely surpasses thors best year. I truly believe if you hadnt ripped your hands open due to humidity at the WSM you would have won that show as well.....

[@stephenhagen8976]

Don't forget. Thor is just starting his comeback. He's done so well. We often forget, he said the first year was about progress. No strongman fan at this point last year expected him to do this well, this soon. Oh, and yes from me too. A win here makes best season on record. Competed that much more and the depth of the field is growing.

[@hannibalb8276]

You really need to ignore thor's most radical fanboys, they aren't even really strongman fans, they only know thor from his game of thrones appearances, lol.

[@commentwarrior]

I guess you have watched more game of thrones episodes than me, since I have watched 0. Still I think you are highly delusional.

Call yourself the world's best but you could beat that other guy doing stones at the same time as you?

[@prgnify]

People who say stuff like that about "kindness" are being disingenuous... Or maybe jokes that absolutely don't land in writing, but IMO disingenuous

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

You'll probably win the show, but not the deadlift. For the best of all time... Don't think you have the patience to reach Z.

[@dean7968]

No it does not make you best of all time. Good but not best of all time

[@moetthepoet]

I see two immediate problems with your stone training. The first is that the plinths are bit that tall, where is you've said before that you only struggle on the ones that are very high. The second is that you're running three stones, isn't the stone runs usually 5 in competition?

[@dannywielink5200]

The third is, he is winning everything atm😂

[@moetthepoet]

@dannywielink5200 oh I know. He's the best there is. I'm just commenting on something that he mentioned in his previous videos
