INSANE 508lb Log Press WORLD RECORD | Can anyone beat Mitch Hooper?

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Can anyone stop Mitch Hooper? This was his 19th podium in a ROW! Is he quickly becoming one of the best strongmen of all time?

[@joescho]

Possibly one of the best to have ever done it

@cp37373 What’s so funny?

[@andretoivonen9737]

Žydrūnas Savickas is still the best strongman of all time in my humble opinion but Hooper is climbing closer and closer

[@michaelselz3389]

He’s super personable, kind, and super smart. Great embssador for the sport.

we were one crappy frame handle at wsm away from the most dominant year in strongman history.

[@hannibalb8276]

yeah another reason no one should take WSM seriously

[@trentreimer130]

I just love the fact moose pointed out that having a stronger grip will fix the problem and that Tom won fair and square.

[@Cody_JY]

​​@@trentreimer130Tom obviously won fair and square but wsm always had handle issues. So many torn calluses ruining guys wsm back in the day, an issue that isn't seen at the Arnold and they have a heavy ass frame every year.

[@TheDreno33]

Mitch Hooper talks more in depth about this in his own channel discussing the event. He doesn't like doing this because he always wants to put in a performance, but he decided to because of how close some of the rest of the events are this year and would rather not risk any injury.

[@Michael-s5y2i]

Im a big Hooper fan, but is he the strongest? I'm not sure. He wins the competitions because he is fitter IMO.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

He won max log and deadlift for reps because he is fitter?

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN For reps, I believe is a cardio/fitness element. 1RM is a different story obviously. Again, I'm a huge fan of his. I have watched every video he's ever released.

Well Tom stopped him 4 months ago and won the biggest post prestigious title in the sport. Mitch fans will talk about his torn callouses, but autism is a far far bigger opstical to compete with, train with and generally function with, that's why there is a 90% unemployment rate with people on the spectrum. A boo boo on your hands pales in comparison.

[@cattycats4]

Tom is the greatest strongman out of modern athletes (since Shaw retired) never controversy, always humble and respectful. Mitch Hooper cant go one competition without some sort of exploited lift or bad reps that he got away with

[@daviesugo7641]

​@@cattycats4 Everyone knows objectively it's Mitch. You prefer Tom, that's fine, but objectively it's Mitch. Strongman is not just WSM.

[@ghosthero0806]

coaches actually specifically look for autistic athletes. an autistic athlete with good strength genetics is historically THE formula to get world titles, as autistic athletes will tend to be laser focused on their training to an obsessive level. your 90% unemployment rate is also not true, the only studies on this indicate 70-80% unemployment rates, but this is for diagnosed autistic adults. upwards of 70% of autistic adults are undiagnosed, conservative estimates at least 50%. the data is thus woefully incomplete and any conclusions drawn from it are at best only working with half of the information. tldr; the only thing you're right about here is that tom did in fact win WSM 4 months ago. it's not even the biggest and most prestigious strongman comp anymore though, the fact that it isn't livestreamed has hugely damaged its popularity compared to more modernized strongman comps. it's only the biggest and most prestigious competition if you think that your grandfather who doesn't know how to operate a smart phone is the smartest person in your family.

[@cisrael468]

@@cattycats4”exploiting” lifts is part of the sport and every great strongman has done it in some form. Hooper and Novikov get far more out of their bodies than Tom does given how much smaller they are and they have both done better outside of WSM as a result. Objectively Mitch is the best in the world right now and it’s just not close

[@Ryu-f9c]

I love Hooper, he's an elite athlete and warrior, the only thing I personally do not appreciate much about him is that sometimes he speaks about matters he hasn't studied, such as meditation and its physiological benefits and pre pre pre (many hours pre ) pre trainings ice baths , which have many benefits in performance when done before, many hours before hard heavy training session and mma and martial arts workouts. Said so, i Love Mitchell ❤

[@ExacT9]

I agree with you completely about him speaking about things he doesn't know about much, but one thing Hooper is on another planet compared to the competition is recovery, he's strong all around sure, but his recovery is absolutely unmatched, he did so many events this year and not even finished and he still has all the gas he needs to win them all, it's just ridiculous. So I'm not sure what you mean with the ice-baths exactly, but I know for a fact every athlete should try to mimic Hooper's recovery 1:1, might not work for everyone, but everyone should give it ago, as he really is on another planet and he doesn't have the same procedures as the other athletes.

[@Ryu-f9c]

@@ExacT9 i do agree bro, totally, perfectly stated, you're speaking facts 😌💛 about the icebaths i only meant that ice trainings and ice and cold temperatures conditioning is a MUST, not soon after workouts, because it may reduce a bit the hypertrophy of muscles but doing it hours before trainings and in other times of the days and even just after non hypertrophy trainings is an objectively good thing, while he explicitly says cold trainings do not give (almost ) any benefit....and this is wrong

[@HardstylePete]

@@Ryu-f9c What he is saying is that the scientific research does not show any significant benefits from cold therapies. If you can't replicate the benefits in a controlled studies, that is a strong indication that there is no benefits.

[@Ryu-f9c]

@@HardstylePete nope.....neuroscientists such as Andrew Hubermann, Sam Harris, Rudolph Tanzi and many other physicians in several branches of medicine have given us and showed many many many benefits in various terms and aspects of health, with medical proofs.....the only thing that cold trainings could deplete a bit or a bit more than a bit is the muscle hypertrophy which has been shown to slow down if you have an ice bath or cold swimming few minutes after hard workouts

Mitch does a good job of staying on top of the science. Ice baths don’t have solid research behind them
