@@markpozsar5785 strength to body weight ratio doesnt say much. That's why in powerlifting to judge an athlete they have the Wilks coefficient, not a useless number like pound for pound strength

[@jeffcarter7673]

Great to see Mitch and Thor working out together. Epic!

[@gmaster8183]

You and Thor together is such a good pairing

[@appa609]

It's like the new Eddie & Brian

[@espenstoro]

@@appa609 But with substantially less farting

[@markadler8968]

Wow! Halfthor looks like some kind of half human/half livestock hybrid. What an absolute mutant.

[@crazy10bears]

I'm sure he's flattered by that description. 😂

[@nicholass4891]

Half Mountain

[@domepuncher]

Crazy how Mitchell is even in the same realm of strength as Thor. Remarkable really..

[@DutchDread]

I think that at some point you need to gain sooooo much weight for relatively small power increases that it just becomes not worth it for the loss of mobility. Hooper can get away with having less muscle mass because he's just so athletic, every lift is done with peak efficiency. Like, when Thor overhead presses, he essentially clean presses everything, that dude could do so much more I feel like if he could do a decent split jerk.

[@DutchDread]

Having seen the entire video, I am more amazing at how close he got to the fit dude on the bike.....

[@Jellybelly008]

@@DutchDread To a certain degree this is very true. It's due to the human body being very inefficient for strength comparative to the animal kingdom with our muscle density. Our levers are generally horrible outside of our calves. There's gonna be variations with different people (lifestyle and diet, activity, nutrition with how they were raised) and genetics, inserts and whatnot.

[@acidsmokemachine5873]

You should watch the worlds strongest man, he beats him or is right by his score in most events. It's actually less impressive if you consider the gap in size. Thor should be much stronger than he is.

[@shades4313]

He’s really not. He’s very very strong don’t get me wrong. But Thor is on another level

[@ChexSwings]

the Moose, the Mountain, and the Mullet

[@kevinprendergast5885]

can clearly see Justin's technique is something these big guys need to utilize. Thor is basically strict pressing the weight.

[@appa609]

Idk I'm similar. I strict press the same weight I push press

[@Jafmanz]

@@appa609 You are similar in that you also have sub-optimal technique for maximising over head press strength....

[@kevinprendergast5885]

Point is, you gotta give these two beasts credit for taking a cue from the little guy.

[@brendenstagg4862]

Im pretty sure that split technique is what got Mitchell the axel over head press WR.

[@MossisinaBox]

Thor can't do split as he's too slow

[@nelsondernaam1776]

It feels like thor is just straightup pushing that weight and not even using the jump part😂

[@eladrio2311]

Mitch does a split jerk which is allowed in strongman and Thor does a push press usiing the legs, also allowed

[@e.c.9468]

Yeah his technique is definitly relying more on his ridiculous strengh although his technique seems to work quite well.

[@cant_Comment]

imagine thor jerking it a bit better. he could probably do 230+ easy

[@xxacidmv]

. #LHBK YES! This is the type of collabs that I love!

[@TheDeano260]

I love how Mitch always takes the opportunity to better his game

[@SizzledBeef]

Just one of the traits you must have if you're going to be among the best. Somebody who doesn't take opportunities to learn is never going to find themselves at the top of anything they do.

[@sambsialia]

Mitch, everyone loves Thor. Thanks for having him on. You guys are the best.

[@handsmcneil]

Its so wild seeing Mitch look small lol

[@jjjyli686]

He 6’3 which is one of the smaller height in strongman competitions now

[@vebjsand]

I love this. You two can be such a good force when you train together and help eachother improve! This is what it's all about.

[@DrCrunkMusic]

The crossfit dude pressing and catching that weight behind the neck is wildly impressive

[@knucklechunk]

I am in love with this collab!

[@dannyandrews6192]

Look how massive Thor is and that makes hooper a freak

[@conair2568]

Awesome collab Mitch! I love how close the strongman community is now with KZbin and other pro athletes. Pushing eachother to the max. That's how it's suppose to be! LHBK 💪😉

[@SherwoodGrim]

It's refreshing. The fitness industry is known for drama. It takes the two strongest human beings, to show us an example of fellowship within the space.

[@DWandtheenablers]

Damn Mitchell, you look shredded

[@ryuharsetyopashaharidadi8029]

the girls @, send it here. the one standing on the left

[@parkerwhitton9603]

The biking at the end shows how world class mitch's endurance and VO2 Max is. The cross fitter should've been able to have taken him easily just because of sheer weight difference.

[@billabong5366]

but on a stationary bike does the weight even matter? its not like you're moving the weight anywhere, you're just spinning a wheel so bigger muscles are only an advantage no?

[@m4yd0g]

VO2 max is scaled by body weight. Mitch's VO2 max is much less than Justin's. They did the same amount of work in the same time / used a similar amount of oxygen but Justin is soo much less massive. Out on a real bike, Justin would leave Mitch far behind. But yes, Mitch has a good cardio and work capacity for a 300lb+ man.

[@lekkerpruven887]

I was surprised the average was only 40km/h. But at the end of a workout that's still awesome.

[@m4yd0g]

@@lekkerpruven887 Wasn't it a 2km time trial? That would be 80km/hr

[@allylilith5605]

@@billabong5366 he still has to move his legs, which weigh double the amount.

[@cam7982]

Hell Yeah! These love that these guys get along so well and are friends. Friendly, respectful, hardworking competition is so much better to watch then silly drama. Watching them train and compete and drive each other further and further is, and will continue to be, one hell of a treat!

[@Ells-b7c]

Loved this collab, hope u do more collabs with other strongmen is very entertaining to see u guys casually lift a near quarter of a tonne overhead as u hangout and have fun. Love your content Mitch 😊

[@eldanno5970]

Justin is on another level when it comes to technique and athleticism. Awesome to see the respect, Mitchell soaking up his advice. Love it when elite athletes collaborate. This collab should be a regular feature, imagine what they can all learn from each other and teach all of us.

[@moosec2327]

Moose and Thor together is unbelievable. Would love to see them train together at each others gyms

[@roseathletics]

Love to see Justin holding his own against some Giants. I mean throwing 315 over head for reps is impressive even at the amateur strongman heavy weight level

[@merogaro7197]

Imagine these big guys with his technique😮.

[@brianquigley3395]

God damn Mitch you’re looking fit as hell brother I love you’re proving you can be fit and strong at the same time. You’re gonna reshape the sport

[@Baloo2650]

So excited to see Mitch and Thor at the arnolds, it’s going to be epic. Go Moose!

[@jtf2dan]

So nice to see you all training together with such diversity in your builds......congrats on your bike time.....that was impressive!

Even when u and Thor are rivals, u guys can also train together, like how it supossed to be and Justin is just a great and inspiring human being. 🏋️

[@theladwhodoeseverything]

That guy looks so tiny between Mitch and Thor

[@Prime_G1]

Ye, he looks like a child😅

[@e.c.9468]

Mitch is nearly 2 times heavier than a regular light-medium fit man. Thor is on his own league. Crossfitter is not even small for real

[@DustinTWilliams]

6:22 Mitch went from Mitch to Eddie Hall lolol

[@Lukazure]

Beard suits you Mr Hooper. Mad respect that a bloke who looks like he is just another big gym bro is the best strongman in the world. Thor is built like he is 5,7", he almost looks stocky! which is just insane

[@coldpond]

Love to see Thor, just once, as a lineman on a football team.

[@ianjames7524]

Love seeing you and Thor together

[@Training4Life-q4w]

can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Thor gets very little if not any leg drive off his push press. It's like he does a quarter squat and then strict presses the weight up. Imagine if he was athletic and got the timing right how much he could throw overhead. Mind blowing

[@BladeRunner031]

Dear god how big is Thor when Mitch looks like a baby near him 😮

[@djsgolfer714]

justin’s overhead position is one of the best in the game!

[@johnjackman7622]

The beard is a winner Mitch.

[@Fortress333]

The Mountain is thinking how the little Moose keeps beating him :) He's focusing on that WR deadlift, so the traveling pays off. But we'll see how the competition will shake out. It's going to be awesome.
