The stone they used in the stone press is so round that people are afraid that it slides out of their hands and drops on their head. They would be a lot more confident and able to press more, if the stone had edges, like the stone that the women had to press.

FYI, Mitch was responding to Arnold Schwarzenegger during the Stone Medley because the announcers gave him the microphone to yell "YOU CAN DO IT!". So, he was just responding to the crowd's energy. I was there in person watching it, I can tell you that the Announcers as well as Arnold interact with the athletes a lot more than you can hear on the Live Stream. It feels like a totally different show with the energy level. But regardless, the Stone Medley was definitely a Victory lap for the Moose. So he was just giving back to the crowd imo. Great commentary! You always make me laugh.

[@charles2007cm]

I like Hooper. I think he is trying to become as famous as possible and as quickly as possible to make the most money possible. I have no evidence to back it up, but given his life prior to strongman like running marathons and such is that he plans to shine as brightly as possible then retire from strongman early and on top. Just a my two cents on it. I do appreciate the lift heavy be kind motto though, and he apparently trains really hard and is really strong.

[@intoTheEther1]

It's definitely not the sport to do for a long-time if someone wants to live a long life. I think Mitchell is hyper-aware of the price he is paying right now to be on top, and wants to get leaner and take less shit, but can't as long as he competes in strongman. Hence why he is going big now so he can go home and clean up later. Basically what Thor should have done, but is too stubborn to do.

[@theunknownsamurai7426]

The event order was so fkn dumb. How are you going to do event 4 with a 400lb press for reps, and then event 5 with another akward press after your delts are just totally taxed. Atlas stones to finish would of been way more fun to watch.

[@outlimboed]

Especially with Tom. The King of Atlas Stones for me. He is so good, and I love the combination of strength, speed and endurance.

[@ledebhill2392]

As a polish fan, I follow Mateusz on socials etc. It seems that he is struggling with finding any outside help for the deadlift. He tried working with a few people lately, for example Krzysztof Wierzbicki (the guy with 502,5 kg sumo). And of course he lacks confidence.

[@MelGibsonFan]

I wonder if he’s considered traveling abroad for some work. Eddie Hall was a phenomenal deadlifter, maybe someone from Eddie’s team could help him.

[@luka188]

If not Eddie, then someone from Shaw's team, or even Shaw himself could help him perhaps. I really hope he can somehow "Unlock" whatever is holding him back on the deadlift, because it always hurts him so much on every competition. I'm sure as strong and gifted as he is, with his frame, he should have a 951 or so deadlift in him with the right preparation and people to train him.

[@AlexanderBromley]

That brings its own problems because freak deadlifters cant relate to Mateusz' issues... they do 2 different things. Needs a coach who has worked with all kinds and understands the demands of strongman. Hard to find. If I was him, Id take 6 months off events and dedicate it to pulling

What's scary about Thor is that his grip is actually better now than it was when he swept the majors. He's also faster. Who had him placing second in both the frame and the Webster stones? Once his pressing power returns, he's going to be an absolute force again!

[@CodyBunker]

You could tell Thor still has a way to go with his recovery from his pec tear. His shoulder was not stable at all. I don't think the comp was as stacked as it was made out to be. I don't the the polish guy that wasn't mateusz should have been there. Tom Evans was not as good as some other guys that could have been there. Maxime is borderline. Also Hooper is fantastic but I don't think Tom Stoltman should be forgotten so quickly. He's an absolute unit and he has every attribute necessary to beat Hooper. I was surprised he did so well when Luke wasn't there. That is something that could have easily thrown him down into the dark.

[@alik5972]

Bro climbed to the top of the stage just to be remembered as "the Polish guy that wasn't Mateusz"

[@ashleygarvin7177]

Yeah Tom has been chipping away and now has arguebably one of the strongest overhead presses, having it previously been one of his weak spots. His deadlift will continue to increase into his 30s and when Tom is on point, Mitch wont win. The real issue is Mitch doesnt really fall back on any event, so you have to be very good all round to beat him. Like Martins was before he stepped out a bit.

[@CodyBunker]

@ashleygarvin7177 yeah I knew Tom was going to be a beast overhead the first year he took second at world's. He was the only person to lift every log in the medley on his side and there was some elite pressers on his side. On the apollon axel this comp his lifts went overhead quicker than cooper's did and hoop was trying to split jerk it. Tom's deadlift is elite. For his size he is really fast. I think this competition has been in his head and that's gone now. Tom was a close second at world's last year after taking a huge break. It is odd how little he is talked about or how no one favors him to win competitions.

[@CodyBunker]

@alik5972 he could hardly do any of the events. For a competition that is supposed to feature the most elite, he is far from there. Gavin Bilton, Luke Stoltman and many others were a far better choice.

Another thing that drives me mad is when people say that Thor has to break the DL record on a competition. They have the guts to call that clown show a competition. Eddie Hall decided the rest times, the weight jumps, the lifting order on a plataform tailored for him. After his lift, they interviewed him and made Jerry wait for more than 30 minutes to give him his chance! Than Jerry tries to pull and tear his hamstring. The disrespect to call that a competition when one of the competitors had power over the other competitors and the entire show is beyond disgusting. Eddie never lifted on a competition, that's false. Calling that a competition is the ultimate disrespect, especially towards Jerry. Thor's lift had calibrated and weighted lifts for the people to see and 15 minutes as set rest times. I cannot stress enough how Thor's lift not only was harder to perform because he didnt choose the rest times, but its a much more offical lift with offical parameters and rules. Not the clown fest that Eddie's Hall personal and close friend, business partner Coolin decided while screwing the rest of the "competitors". Not a competition, Eddie never lifted on a competition, it was a clownpetition. 🤡

The same guy eho officiate the 2016 WSM where dragging event was removed from the final because Eddie was struggling in his group eith dragging, or when Viking press rule was changed from "No resting but double dipping allowed to No double dipping but resting allowed because it was tailor made for the fattest and most unathletic WSM winner ever. Not to mention that the 2016 WSM is the only WSM final where there are 3 static and dynamic events as opposed to the normal 4 dynamic and 2 static events.

[@pbkimblee1858]

​@@HkFinn83it's WUS feats of strength event and the weights are sponsored by Rogue and were calibrated live and in front of an official SM judge. Check your facts

[@hulksolutions8397]

I wish Matty Ragg was at that this years Arnold’s, him pulling that 460kg in New Zealand was insane

[@Pile_of_carbon]

Really enjoyed the ASC. My only problem was with the fucking round stone over head in the final event. Such a sketchy lift. Thor damn near dropped it on his head and I'm surprised no one else did.

[@ponyboykurtis4645]

HEY does the bend in the barbell atually help lifters as they are not actualy liffting ALL the weight until they are 1/4 way up when last plate lifts off?

[@maticsimonic9673]

How were the best pullers 6’8????

[@codenumber7114]

It’s possible to love both Bromley and Hooper everybody. Just chill.

[@kendallallred4624]

Hooper is the bomb and your just trolling. a guy that's not over 400lbs and still killing it!

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

I didn't see this until now but I agree with you, it was super awkward. Although Arnold was pretty cocky himself back in the day and did all sorts of little mischief.

[@Strengthinrelationships]

What you said about mitch getting Arnold up there had to be said, very happy someone with a big platform finally says it

[@SJR4815]

I'm a fan of the sport. Not solely a fan of Eddies. Brom, you have to acknowledge the benefit of being able to wake up in your own house, eat at your own table, shit in your own toilet and then hit that lift in your own gym. That is objectively very different. He still lifted the 501 but under completely different and far less stressful circumstances.

[@karkkimarkkinat2109]

Cope

[@paavoilves5416]

I mean he didn't have much shorter drive to the event than Eddie had as Eddie deadlifted near his home too. Both also had their own barbells and platforms to lift on, except that Thor's weights were weighed live and he had stricter rest times. Overall a stricter performance than Eddies. No hate to Eddie though, his 500kg was a moment in strongman history, it was unbelievable. But it's just stupid from him to still be salty that he doesn't hold the record anymore.

[@thorthewolf8801]

Im pretty sure the place where Eddie did the 500 was about an hour away from his home. He got to wake up in his own house, eat at his own table, shit in his toilet, and then hit that lift in the arena.

[@lluka8459]

That's why speaking deadlift, Eddie is still the most well-known record holder but not Thor. Thor is not lift in a competition. Also, Thor just add 1 kg on top of Eddie is just like the provocation. (Seriously, who fucking guys will add 0.5kg to each side. And I actually think Thor can hit more if he train for longer. But he just want to kick Eddie down from the world record) I don't think it is weird that Eddie have a counter back

[@McKenna2233]

Thor would have lifted 501 anywhere, not his fault covid happened

[@EllisThings]

Great roundup. Plenty of truths being dropped here

[@bobu4055]

I am a huge Hooper fan. He really is a genuine guy. I did the group deadlift coaching and I felt he really put a lot into it. I did hit an rep PR too. But I literally said out loud when he was calling Arnold up “what the hell are you doing Mitch”. 😂

[@JFatGlentract]

Just fyi, they got rid of the elevated stage. No more stage flex, it’s on the concrete floor

[@skipalitevandango]

"That's like the most redundant thing I've ever said." I had to stop the video and calm down from laughing for a minute there.

[@thearm95]

Agree with competitors rallying the crowd waving their arms to solicit support - gets tiresome when happening on more lifts/attempts than not. As you said, Arnold will get up if he wants to get up, likewise the crowd will make noise if it want to make noise.

[@LatimusChadimus]

It was awesome seeing Martins out there

[@zachman595]

I’m a big Mitch fan but I agree getting Arnold up to not lift it is wack. Especially after mateuz like you said dominated that event /stone.

[@miguelcardenas8490]

Thor is like triple h when bischoff gave him the world heavyweight championship and was burying everyone

[@aesop2733]

It's all about the game, and how you play it

[@freakied0550]

The Reign of Terror

[@chard243]

Thor already said his press hasn’t comeback from injury yet. Deads are fire though

[@Cwillz303]

“Colorado experiment on steroids… That might be the the most redundant sentence I’ve ever said” Amazing

[@Eduardo-cm5jk]

Contrary to what seems to be the popular opinion about your content Bromley, I love your rants. I think they add substance to your discussions and are just generally entertaining. Thank you for your content, please do as you would 🫡🫡

[@JS_Precision]

Bromley it would be cool to see you coach Mateusz in deadlift. I've seen him work with Seba Kot (The Faceless) to improve dl before, don't know who is coaching him now. Force him to do some high rep RDL sets 😂

[@unclemoneymoneyuncle8702]

I like that for the Arnold Rogue had a livestream, and when I saw Mitch get Arnold up for the final lift only to fail I was like omfg that was hilarious!

[@captainobscurity491]

It's so cool to see Thor back but, for the sake of his health, I hope after he gets a few more big titles and breaks a new big record or two he decides to downsize and retire for good.

[@skogsmongo155]

Mitch does these things because he's a chad. It's what chads do.

[@grouchypotatowolfpack5580]

"definitionally" works. Any set of sounds that carries a clear, recognisable meaning is a word

[@panagiothsstaurou7569]

Mitchell Hooper is the most athletic strong man ever i think and very strong i think didn't calculate the last stone property because he wanted to impress Arnold and he stuck but he is the best and looks a good guy to

[@cavemanlift]

It's just so hard to be mad at Hooper because he's such a good dude.

[@joeshmoe7967]

I laughed at Mitch, he knew he had it in the bag. Had he just lifted the stone once, with no fan fare, nobody would be talking about, but look how he has everyone talking. I have noticed the people commenting with the 'cringe' word, are trying hard not like the Moose, but there is no way to deny him. He didn't win this event, he destroyed the field. I think he is smart enough to perform for the crowd, but also when to tuck in and do the business. He can dead lift more than he did, but he knew he didn't need to. Look at last year, never won a single event, but took the trophy. I do think it is fine that people have their own opinions. If we didn't differ at all, we would have nothing to talk about. Look forward to more 'coaching' content, but also break downs and opinions of events or breaking news in the game. - Cheers

[@dustinirwin1]

I'm as big a Martins fan as anyone, but I don't ever see him at the top again. His training has been way too focused on technique and athleticism at the expense of actual static strength. Contrast that with Hoopers training that really resembles power building with events training mixed in. Hooper is massively strong and athletic and fast.

[@epikpeetzahutpro23]

Hooper just got trolled by a stone after killing the show 💀. Still much respect for him and the other guys, though.

[@xyz-bz1fc]

"...then go arm wrestle someone in the crowd..." LMAO!!!

[@DrTopLiftDPT]

He looks quite a bit leaner even though he’s only 20-30 lbs less than his all time. I think 420 lbs vs 455

[@_GOD_HAND_]

Thor strikes me as the kind of guy who will not retire gracefully. Just a hunch, but I doubt he will ever prioritize health over size and performance, even if it kills him.

[@pinkyellowblue007]

Thor did good for now, his deadlift is his best lift so of course he can bring that back up fairly easy in comparison to some other things.He has some work to put in if he want's to be on top but he has to take it easy and not try to rush into it or he'll just end up with another injury.You can't just take long periods of time off the sport and come back on top just like that when everyone else is putting in the work all the time year round.I bet a lot of people thought he'd have an easy victory based on his training videos leading up to the competition and his strongman history but that's not how it works.

[@wompastompa3692]

Guys, I don't know, I don't think I can get this lift. Spare some noise?

[@tylermoody2245]

“Mitch do lift big weight “

[@josh39684]

I thought the judging when it came down to the pressing events could be better. As for grip events I like Hercules Hold more than frame.

[@ahmadq215]

Remember when Eddie hall won world’s strongest man and thor called him a cheater cuz his feelings were hurt? Show some respect SaltLord

[@J.c410]

He never did, the only thing he did was called out Colin Btyce for the obvious controversy about event changing last minute along with others strongmen in a post that lasted a whole 24h and was only known to die hard fans. Everything else is just Eddie's bullshit. Also Luke Stoltman's leaked phone call literammy confirmed Nryce has cheating arrangments with the brits.

[@LCDRformat]

What was that about the gallon of urine? On the platform during a lift?

[@markus9303]

That edit of Thor with short legs is amazing
