[@michaelstrachan4419]

John Haack has lifted so much weight he’s welded to the floor, that’s why he can’t jump

[@frambojan]

Gravity is angry with him.

[@jaquariuslemarius7096]

The knowledge Mitch has to expertly analyze events and just prescribe different methods is just insane. No wonder dude is winning everything.

[@jonathanz9889]

It more speaks to the bro scienceness of strongman that other guys can't even do this

[@TheJohn8765]

@@jonathanz9889 IIRC, Mitch has a MSc in sports physiology so he has a fair bit of knowledge plus his approach is all about technique (and THEN strength). Much more efficient.

[@joemelniverba4454]

⁠@@TheJohn8765 lemme add that his Bachelors before his MSc is Human Kinesiology. As a PT student, it’s really awesome to see him, quite literally, combine the brains and the brawn and apply it to his sport.

[@MattBricker-x4t]

That's what I like the most about Mitchell I'll admit I wasn't a big fan at first but you it seems like are the first one in your sport in your own words leaving no stone unturned just watching the rogue invitational you seen outta breath Tom stoltman Was and I love the video you did on Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw's old diet bc when Eddie and Thor broke the deadlift record they Were way outta shape and when Eddie Hall Won worlds he was over 200 kilos at 6 '3 you and John haack prove you don't need to be overly obese to break a record and I do think you'll pull 505 kgs under 375 lbs which is unbelievable bc Thor was 450+

[@MattBricker-x4t]

And Moose im.def a fan of you now I wanna know your opinion on Julius Maddox saying he was gonna do a 800 lb bench for half q decade atleast he did pull 795 in the gym and did a 810 static hold this dude is 6'3 425 why can't he get over the hump he needs to get some tips from u John n big loz

[@JamesSaysHello]

John achieving what he has in PL and still being such an open and honest student speaks volumes about him. And Mitch's coaching, amazing.

[@wanderer_oti]

He reminds me of Brian Shaw a bit

[@ireallyhatemakingupnamesfo1758]

I think an underrated skill when we talk about GOATs is coachability. Being able to accept and implement criticism on technique is an incredibly important talent, and John absolutely has it

[@thekingofkings9465]

​@@ireallyhatemakingupnamesfo1758 thats exactly what makes them best, yearning to learn is what makes one improve.

[@danilinho8921]

It also helps that John is a quiet guy and lets Mitch talk hehe. Both great guys

Mitch can you keep the 'coaching' content coming. Love these types of videos, it shows the breadth of your knowledge and you're a great educator. Also hope you have more videos with John lined up in the future. 🐐 🐐

[@cmstudios11]

especially at his age. really young but god damn does he understand what he does and translates it so well.

[@critical-slayer]

Next we want to see John taking Mitch through his workouts!

[@ralfburon6179]

The question: deadlift with or without straps 🤔

[@e.c.9468]

Mitch could probably hookgrip any weight. He's training it.

[@frederickknapp5340]

Loz as his coach and Mitch helping out, Damn, John is going to be dangerous.

[@dropsy7639]

Johns going to be the best 90 and 105kg strongman of all time should he pursue it.

[@frederickknapp5340]

@@dropsy7639 Nope John is going to be great as a open athlete

[@dropsy7639]

@@frederickknapp5340 he's already competed buddy, he didn't go SHW, MAYBE when he's pro but i doubt it. 90 and 105's have really taken off in the past couple of years.

[@malcolmmorgan3372]

I’m a powerlifter converted to strongman and this is exactly the type of content I could use more of. Learning the events, the small insights on how events may be at OSG. This is gold. Please continue this type of content.

[@bruuhhhh]

John is incredible, so hyped to see him in strongman

[@LogHewer]

The guy is insanely strong. Freaking hell. Built like a tank.

[@mitchellsteindler]

You are what you eat

[@Fillegubben]

It's crazy how much he blew up after moving on from tested events. And this is him holding back still trying to achieve goals in lower weight classes

[@Shvabicu]

Bro benches 3x bw. Mindboggling. I really hope he finally gets that 2300 lbs total in 198 lbs class in his next pl comp.

[@mediaproof960]

Mitch always giving out free advice. Dude just wants everyone better. Welcome to strongman John.

[@Aaron-Qman]

Once Mitch retires he's going to be one of the best strongman coaches out here!!

[@Nikolaus844]

Not only is Mitch a great athlete he’s a great coach too! I feel like you did a great job at breaking everything down for John.

[@caihepner675]

Im competing at OSG this year and I'm more excited about watching Mr. Haack compete🔥😂

[@Twiiik]

John Haack is f'ing amazing! I believe this is the quickest I've clicked on a video ever 🥳

[@paulako384]

really like mitchs coaching style, asks questions, finds good points in everything then corrects when needed, refreshing because not many top athletes make good coaches

[@MartinBroadhurst]

JH is going to be unstoppable. It's great watching Mitch give such specific, technical feedback to an elite "beginner". Such an interesting dynamic.

[@TopsyJt]

Lovely wholesome video. Two beastly world class men helping with humility and genuine love for a sport and confidence in each other. Love this. Well done both!

[@TheUrbanBeekeepers]

Talk about a power team, jeez. Mitch and John working together is a trip to crazy town for strength fans!

[@maartenn2217]

"Deadlift the first half, squat the second half" Now you're talking John's language! 😂

Absolutely loved watching this. I’m Canadian in Alberta and you two are some of my favourite strength athletes.

[@davidhickey8613]

he's gonna need to rewatch this video a few time but that's awesome that the training session is recorded for him. Easier to see the issues and what Mitch is talking about watching it back

[@officalemsrem]

This is the collab i have been waiting for! can't lift 1/4 what you guys can, but i feel like it would be an Absolute blast hit the gym with you guys

This is the equivalent to watching Tyson and Ali sparring. Gold for strength fans!

[@jonasf4065]

Tyson Fury and Usyk, yes. Other two are lesser

[@EDtheIslander]

This was such an awesome post. The best in the world. I train more like a power lifter at the time, though strongman is my favorite. Seeing Mitchell hooper train John Hack is so awesome.

[@josephdayan7818]

The two best strength athletes in the world. And Mitchell’s knowledge is unbeatable and he’s a great coach. Now we have to have John coach Mitch in Powerlifting, and see if he can break the all-time world record.

[@althenimble]

No! Thor lost a pec to moonlighting as a powerlifter. We want to keep Mitch in strongman haha

[@twin2civicgaraget2cg75]

Great video, I would love to see more of you coaching other people as it really taught me a lot. Thanks

[@sslc55]

Routing for him for sure! Would be so cool to see him get to a high level of strongman

[@pingolexx]

Nice video!, we also want to see you doing a powerlifting day testing your 3 lifts with John.

[@nathanieldebarros3849]

Ever since John announced his coach, I was patiently waiting for this video.

[@travLee7]

Hell yeah. Awesome content!!

[@espenstoro]

Imagine how much one session like this is worth to someone relatively early in their strongman career. That's awesome. Now when that someone happens to be unreasonably strong to begin with, great things can happen.

[@Chris-dw3xl]

Great vid John is a really humble dude Mitch same as well great teacher , both seem awesome dudes good luck to John in strongman and good luck to Mitch in pulling 505/510

[@omarazami7377]

On the DL I was hoping that Mitch would have been the secret new strongman coach. Glad to see it come true.

Great video, I come from more a power lifting background so it's cool to see what this guy does in the strong man world.

[@Mastirpeace]

Powerlifting is the true test of strongman bcuz you aren’t at any disadvantage it’s you vs the center of gravity with a bar

[@TheBigHaj]

Seeing John at the Kaos Classic last year, he has it all and with a little bit of honing could easily be a u90/u105 champion.

Mitch looked so annoyed at the fan lol

[@trzaskubejbe]

Hes a known asshole. I actually saw him at a grocery store in Toronto last month. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

[@stunnaman9]

I noticed that too 😂

[@preetsekhon3603]

This is an insane crossover.

[@docspiffy4507]

[@OpenBarGarage]

[@fastgecko5799]

Love how not even a minute into the video Mitch is eating something lmao

[@monkeybro2820]

John Haack in a suit and straps on deads would be absolutely insane to see.

[@grahamgrant9421]

I commend the way the hooperman has all his biomechanics down to the finest detail and doesn't just rely on brute force alone and hell its worked for him, in terms of throwing events John should have the required explosive power from being a powerlifter having said that the Hooperman has longer levers generating more torque.
