Mitch’s pre-competition “pretty sure I’ve got this” video is becoming as omni-present as Tom’s post competition “what happened” video.

Absolutely 😭💔🙏🏻

I think he's the reserve

[@Mister008Gaming]

Absolutely. Same with Nicole Genrich for the women.

[@simoncrowley914]

I don’t think he was fit and ready when they decided on invites, everyone expected him to be out for at least a year.

[@silverbackgorilla2112]

Yep, it should be Trey instead of Novikov.

[@BigJay923]

Oleksii really needs to take a break and heal up. I don't think he's doing any favors hurting himself every 6 weeks. Even with the new WR he has.

[@hulkslayer626]

Kettlebell, CDB, log AND axle?! Oh my! And that push/carry/pull event sounds brutal! This is gonna be an amazing competition! As always, I hope every competitor shows up healthy, does the best they can do, and remain injury free! That is all I want 😊

[@bjorheim1993]

There's easily five names on there I would drop to put in Trey.

[@SvenTheShoeBuyer]

What about Mateusz!?

[@TheSLK66]

I think Thor will do a bit better than most expect. Tom is a big unknown, if he's not in the right mental state, he could finish 4th or 5th. My podium prediction is Hooper, Thor and Trey. Trey is back to full capacity and willing to prove he's a contender for #1

Is Mateusz competing?

[@ManitRubiks]

@@DavidVirtanen in my opinion, the stoltmans shouldn't come as a combo. Organizers should be fine allowing just one of the brothers to compete. Luke's performances have been lackluster. He should be dropped in favor of trey especially after the Giants live us championships last weekend

[@CE-uv7bv]

You mention Trey Mitchell a lot, but I don't think he is competing!

[@SteinMeister72]

Guessing he is the alternate. Fair chance he gets a shot. If he does, podium likely for him given his performance this weekend

[@jameschristy9966]

He wasn't invited

[@tomhiggins875]

Also, Trey just did the deadlift with regular straps, so maybe his grip is improving.

Thor really fucked it with the pec tear. Thor vs Mitch would have been the next Z vs Shaw battle.

[@spencerknight1730]

Big Z tore both patellar tendons. wayyyyy worse injury

[@gabrielpeterson3991]

​@@spencerknight1730much earlier in his career though. Injury recovery slows down as you age.

[@DeadLifter-rl9en]

@@spencerknight1730 Zydrunas tore his patellar tendons when he was 26. Thor tore his pec age 34, it's difficult to recover from major injuries when you're older Also whilst patellar tendon tear is terrible it doesn't necessarily mean you can't get back to your best, the muscle is still intact. Thor's pec tear essentially means his left pec will never be the same because he's missing part of the muscle belly

[@OhgodImtoosexy]

I tore a girl's ps quite a few times. 😆

[@Adam-bw6dj]

​@spencerknight1730 But it isn't though is it? Because Big Z came back to be absolutely incredible after that. Thor is incredible at just about every other event, hence his 5 event wins at SMOE but just can't seem to get back to that max pressing strength. The patella injury could be career ending in some cases but it wasn't for Z whereas this pec tear is actually stopping Thor from winning some shows.

[@MrGonzonator]

Tom will be fired up for this one, with a home crowd.

I Hope So 🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@mrgaudy1954]

@@MrGonzonator I really hope so but I can see him underachieving at the max deadlift then checking out, he’s just not been engaged post WSM

[@khalilcoward6593]

Here’s the best case scenario for Thor- First place on deadlift, Mitch 3rd 7th in log, Mitch 3rd First place on the inver stones, Mitch comes fourth First place in the medley, Mitch second First place in the yoke/ power stairs, Mitch 3rd 5th in the press medley, Mitch 2nd Thor would win by 1 point!

[@BuffPomsky]

Just seeing that shows how amazing mitch is lol He's usually always top 3 in everything. Would love for the both of them to push strongman to new heights

[@goblinguard4833]

Thor can get better than 7th in log and 5th in the press Medley, depending on how exhausted everyone else is. Mitch and Thor both seem to hold together over the course of a show better than most other athletes.

[@khalilcoward6593]

​@@goblinguard4833 This is a good point. The max deadlift/ inver stones are also going to be very submaximal for Thor, leaving him with more energy than the other competitors

[@CraigMayhem]

I think this is a solid assessment. Mitch is a genetic freak PLUS has very good technique which makes him tough to beat. Reminds me of a buddy of mine who started martial arts at the same time as I did and in 5 years became a teacher of SEVERAL arts while I was still working on the one. He is also an amazing guitar player and close-up magician. Athleticism and dexterity were his genetic gifts and I'd bet money Mitch is the same way. I do see some Tom bashing but maybe I can provide some insight as I am also autistic and have been lifting for 30+ years and have competed in bodybuilding, highland games, strongman, etc. I do agree that Tom needs to refocus but it's not that simple. Non-autistic people don't understand that even a seemingly minor setback can balloon in your mind very quickly to the point where you can't shake it and have a meltdown. This is something that happens to autistic people. Believe me, I wish it didn't but it's not something you can just not do. It can be hard to recognize when that is happening before it's too late and you do go into meltdown or non-verbal mode. Tom made the right choice in Vegas in my opinion. He missed what he wanted to do on deadlift and you see how it affected his car walk. Dropping out likely saved him a meltdown because his focus would be less and less which is dangerous in this sport. I think people also don't realize the amount of chaos going on at events. When you have sensory issues as most of us autistic people do, normal everyday situations can be extremely overwhelming so stepping in the middle of a loud audience WHILE trying to focus as hard as you can is a super duper stressful environment. At Rogue they even have drones flying around your head. That Tom can compete at such a high level with all of that bullshit is amazing to me. Now this is speculation, but I reckon that the reason Tom shines at WSM is because of the slower pace (you can hide out from the chaos) and that he has won before. He trained to win WSM and so that type of contest is what is best for him. Plus his entire support team is with him to keep track of details so he can have a singular focus. I think Tom still has a pretty big upside. e.g. on pressing events you can see him just power the weight up. If he perfects his push press or even learns split-leg press his pressing numbers will be nuts. It takes us longer to learn technique because we learn body movements differently as most of us autistic people have at least some dyspraxia... Even minor dyspraxia can jack up how you move. I am 50 and am just now hitting military press PRs because I finally got the technique down after a million years. Then there's the litany of other crap that affects us out there in neurotypical society. In short - Tom really impresses me. I do think Tom should focus on WSM and maybe one other major contest each year. An athlete like Mitch Hooper who can compete in a bunch of contests at a high level and win only is incredibly rare. As far as strength, I think Tom is an insane freak of nature as well, but he definitely has to work harder to compete because of everything I mentioned above and more. I don't think that's an excuse as we know what affects us and how sometimes we just can't deal. Unfortunately for Tom he wouldn't know that until he gets to the contest and starts competing. Maybe he needs a new movement coach and maybe some therapy as well which I think will be really helpful.

[@iainmacleod8423]

Awesome assessment Craig 👏🏼

[@stephenhagen8976]

I agree. I'd rather see him compete less, so he can focus more. The man is amazing, but the pressure to be great at every show can't be good for him. Brian we consider a great, even though he didn't compete often.

[@kamelthornforge]

Thanks for the great videos. You inspired me to enter my first Strongman-competition this past week. I got a time of 1min 13seconds for a 140kg farmers carry and 5 reps of 60kg log press at age 18 and with a bodyweight of 65kg. Its safe to say I have completely fallen in love with the sport. Wish you the best of luck for your upcoming contest.

So, First event is MAX RAW DEADLIFT. Thor once said he will think about beating deadlift record maybe even raw, if Rogue put in competition. So it is interesting to listen to his comments about it. Maybe we will see legit try for 500+ deadlift

[@vojtechkorhon4159]

He said that he wants to do the record in a suit in one of his videos before SMOE.

[@ВалентинДудаев]

@@vojtechkorhon4159 earlier he said that he also consider to do it raw, depending on his condition.

[@louisevans8378]

Mitch is so good now that the events don’t really matter too much, you can’t logically bet against the guy

[@commentwarrior]

Well one pressing event is necessary in order to slow down a certain competitor...

[@cisrael468]

Overall this will be a great comp but a few issues for me: 1. Why another max deadlift? We had elephant bar at the Arnold’s and so many other max deadlifts for this lineup in recent comps. 2. Would love to have seen more Scottish stone related stuff. Maybe a stone in the press medley, or a stone carry in the sled medley 3. Lucas hatton should be here. Objectively better than half the field, and would put on a great show with these events

I definitely think Thor is going to do better in the pressing medley than you estimate. I'm not predicting that he will do amazing, but I don't see him dropping 6 or 7 points there. I'll say he loses 4 or 5. As to your predictions for how you're going to finish personally, you have sort of become the Connor McGregor of bold and accurate predictions in our sport... so much so that I now refer to you as "Mystic Mitch." So, if you say 4 seconds and 2 firsts, who am I to disagree? Your competitors, on the other hands... Well, we shall see! Good luck to you Moose.

[@haellm9192]

Biggest difference between arrogance and confidence is if you can back up your words with your performance

[@jackaltricipi]

I know not everyone can win, but besides Thor, there's maybe 1-2 people who can put pressure on Mitch and that's only if they come in 100% healthy and ready, which they haven't yet since Mitch has surfaced (Mateusz & Martins). Everyone else has too many weaknesses and just are not the athlete Mitch is. These competitions are becoming too predictable, someone needs to step up. Easier said than done of course.

[@andreaskarlsson83]

It'll be a tougher time than before because Thor and some other Strongmen will have upped their game in some events but I believe you'll still take it. Thor's and Tom's great bulk for example will be a problem for them in the more cardiovascular events. Since you're more well rounded you'll still take the win but perhaps by not as big of a margin as before.

[@MC-ep8cu]

I think this will be the closest comp we see yet. I dont see mitch running away with this one and potentially even not win 😮. Rooting for him though.

[@annjacobs7764]

You're so talented, keep making videos!

[@wrenchntwist133]

Let's go Mitch for the win!😜💪🏼✌🏼

[@Micheldied]

Aside from the push/carry medley (because the more implements/events there are, the more easy it is to muck up), these events sound very exciting to watch. I do hope Evan turns up in shape, because I feel like he's the only one aside from Thor (who will probably suffer with two different pressing events) who can challenge Mitch with these events. I think aside from maybe the stones, Mitch will be top 2 in every event.

Everyone is miffed about Trey's invite not happening. Reality is that they didn't think he would be healed up and ready to go. He just proved that he is ready but the organizers had to set up the event long before last weeks contest results. Most pros would not be ready to go so soon after an achilles injury. It's a rough one, especially when you walk at that body weight. Going from a boot to walking at 400lbs...

[@DarrenRashJr]

He's back and strong but I wouldn't want to do an event where I had to do a sled pull

[@davidhickey8613]

I really wish Brian had come on board with Rouge in terms of running their strong man events to bring his passion and perspective and let them continue to make the best equipment on the planet. My guess is he would still want to own his own event, but I think it would have been the best product for the sport.

[@BuffPomsky]

Nahhh they would get in the way of things he wants. There is a reason SMOE is the best when it comes to both money and care for the athletes. It's great that Brian has the final say in everything.

[@awsomenesscaleb]

Thor's dumbbell pressing strength hasn't been affected as much since he can still use the side with the good pec. The axles also seem light enough for him to handle. We shall see. I'd like to see him win just so strongman can be competitive and interesting again.

[@republicjim120]

These stones are different. Tom excels with the typical Atlas stones and tacky, but has been beaten with these ones in the past. I would not automatically assume he wins the stones in this competition. Also, he seems very beat down and demoralized after the comp in Vegas. If he places poorly in the max deadlift, he's likely to shut down mentally and underperform in the other events. Unfortunately, unless he is able to regroup and go into Rogue with the right mindset I can't see him even making the podium. I see Thor (and Trey if he is competing) as much more of a threat to Mitch.

[@themerc4445]

Man I wish Trey Mitchell got invited, I think he’s more than proved he deserves to be there.

[@douglasnisbet1189]

If Tom and Luke turn up just to make up the numbers then I seriously hope organisers take note and stop inviting them. Far rather see other more deserving athletes get their chance who put in max effort on every event.

[@seanmcnicholl3276]

I honestly don’t think that’s a fair statement for Luke, he’s just coming back from a bicep tear, he definitely tried last competition, came about 5/6 place, for Tom at this point maybe

[@douglasnisbet1189]

@seanmcnicholl3276 true, Luke definitely showed great motivation in Vegas. In Luke's case I believe there are stronger, more deserving athletes. In Tom's case, on his day then he can beat anyone, but unfortunately it seems like his motivation just isn't there outside of WSM.

[@pascalpoulin1561]

The next best thing for Rogue is to have a second show for invites like a qualifier for a number of places after obvious invites like previous winners and such. That way we have a better top10 and still chance for upcoming and middle of the pack athletes to have a spot. Nothing agaisnt some on the list there but like Mateusz Lucas Hatton for say would have been best to compete here imo.

Trey Mitchell is not in the comp right? You mentioned him a couple times but didnt see him on the original invite list and the Lalas bros and Loz have mentioned they thought that omission was wrong since he was injured in last years.

[@Pikamoo11]

If thor can get the first axle on the medley then I think he will get ok points on that event as a lot of the others will be gassed/given up by then. Still unlikely to be enough to match Mitch’s consistency overall for the comp win tho.

[@jylauril]

What? Trey Mitchell? I thought he was not selected to comp?

[@AGDunc]

Trey should be invited purely on the basis that it was largely Rogue’s fault he was injured in the first place. The bull pull was faulty last year and was getting worse with each athlete. Trey went last from memory

[@Vipinnnn17]

Has Trey been invited? You mentioned him.

[@michaelmullins1290]

Possibly the most confident ive ever seen Moose. I do hope Trey slips in. Novikov, Tom or Evan could be out by then. All had light injuries and poor showings last event.

[@t6c756]

I imagine Hafthor will improve his overhead more than expected, but that will still be where he loses points. He's the major threat for #1 next to Mitch. If Trey surprises with his grip, he might be a major dark horse. Everybody else are unknowns, though I think Luke may surprise as well since he is less beat up than most of the athletes this year. I think Tom needs to rest and reset mentally and physically, which applies to the other unknowns too. Imo, SMOE took a lot out of most everybody. Connective tissue recovers slow, and max lifts beat them up big-time.

Events are very good for Tom if he can sort out his mind set cause psychological Tom is not in a good place. But obviously your on a great run but i think with this level of competitors and events i think your only weakness is the stones and your not weak at that but i think you need to get tacky right and you need to build up your speed. But this whole comp wow if Tom sorts out his head, Thor improves his overhead, and Trey improves his grip for the pulling event those 3 are going to be tough competition

[@cisrael468]

I disagree, Tom is not at the top when it comes to max deadlift, yoke, or Dumbell so there are lots of areas for him to lose points

[@user-my2se7sn3s]

@@cisrael468 good point on the max deadlift but on the yoke and dumbbell in the past were decent ones for him genetically he's built like Thor and Shaw but mentally I think he can be quite fragile the last 2 comps he's literally walking around back stage head down shoulders slumped it's a bad body language like a man not sure what to do and giving up with his frame and strength he should be top 3 every time its in his head let's him down that's what I think anyway. You look at Mitchell Hooper very clever guy incredibly strong and technical and when he has a weak point he works on it comes across very strong mentally. In every sport its no good just having the physical attributes mentally you need to be a winner if you don't think your going to win then you've lost already the mind is so powerful.

[@hulkthedane7542]

Correct me, if I am wrong - is this not the FIRST time in the modern history of Strongman, we get to see a KB/kettlebell?? I have trained with KBs for over ten years, and I know how different from BBs and DBs they feel to lift. This is VERY interesting - those athletes, who have familiarized themselves with doing one hand overhead lift with a heavy KB will have a HUGE advantage over those, who think it is "just another akward BB"..... The heaviest KB i have ever seen lifted overhead was a 90 kg/198 lbs. I think there might be a few athletes not able to lift this one. 👍👍👍👍.

[@StefanNilsson-s5n]

Kettlebells are a completely different kettle (Haha) of fish than a dumbbell or bar. I was pretty good at lifting when I started training with kettlebells and it was a painful experience. I know several people who broke their wrists doing it wrong. I really hope the guys prepare well.

[@DavidVirtanen]

[@tinotuohimaa]

If Tom peaked for this or was anywhere close to his wsm condition the events would be very good for him (or all the other events would be so good that the deadlift wouldnt matter that much) He isnt gonna be in that shape tho but its still crazy to think that Tom could show up and do "badly" by his standards and still end up on the podium. I believe that this comp is for Mitch to lose and Thor, Tom and Evan will be the other competitors in the top 4

You people an incredible work capacity and your strength would compare to crossfitters who’s technique is atrocious

So happy to see Stones without tacky. Thor for the win on that event.

Oleksi is great, if he just took some time out to rehab, he’ll be much better 10x fold night and day, 2nd youngest to win WSM of all time, it’s still there, he’s very young

[@johnyoung5413]

Could do without another max deadlift for the 4th time this year but other than that pretty good events. At least they’ve got rid of that terrible event they ended on last time

3:10 Take care of your hands Mitch!!!

[@Stevenmcoyne]

Wait am I missing something? Did Trey Mitchell get an invite?

[@Tee_1102]

You did power stairs at wsm 2022

[@ladsgomez5954]

Why isn't Martins in this? A couple of months ago, he said he was preparing to come back to the Rouge.

[@ChomageRider]

I was wondering the same. In a vlog on the wreckit gym YT channel he recently said he is focusing on BJJ. Apparently he's got some comp in October. He also said that his dream is to turn pro in BJJ. He said if his body allows, he might try to compete on the Arnold's and WSM next year, but he said going pro in BJJ "would be much cooler". I guess we've seen the last of him in professional strongman unfortunately.

Your so good they might yank you like the little league team a few weeks ago. That team was so good that the parents of the other teams complained so the officials gave in and benched a team! WTF! CRUSH THEM ALL MITCH! KEEP IT UP!

[@jakepatrick6946]
