[@santiagosteven6105]

It would be interesting to know when you thought of doing strongman and when did you feel committed to fully get involved in it.

[@mathiasstorm205]

I just bought and started your powerlifting program! I'm hoping to get to a point somewhere in the future where i could maybe compete, i dont think i could ever reach WSM levels, but i wanna see where this takes me, and your coaching and program fits me so well. I'm a huge fan of you and your LHBK mantra :) Love from Denmark!

[@ShayeForTheDay]

Mitch you think I won't steal these tips and beat you in wsm next year

[@aesop2733]

Moose hunting, one of the great Canadian past times

[@justme_234]

hahaha😅😅😅

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

See you there mate 😉💪

[@5055672439]

What I like about Loz the most is how positive he is.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

Agreed 💪

[@Micheldied]

Positivity combined with objectivity is a hell of a combination.

[@clioneye8039]

I love the relationship you guys have! Feels more like a family vibe, rather than purely athlete and coach. Great video, Mitch.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

I believe that’s part of what makes a coach so great 💪

[@matthewcb1970]

Mitch clearly has a lot of respect for Loz, so their relationship is thriving.

[@thebobman69]

Loz would have been wsm without the injuries imo, and the nicest guy in the game.

[@alexgee75]

Tyson and Cus of strength

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

How could you not 🫡

[@Bigramt]

​@@thebobman69 I love Loz but I don't agree Definitely more than good enough to podium, but win vs prime Brian, Z and Thor? No I doubt it I know he won Europe's, but Worlds is different All strongmen have injuries, though Loz Definitely had his fair share

[@thebobman69]

@@Bigramt maybe, maybe not. had the strongest squat at the time, pulled a record DL before his last torn off, best on the yolk. He'd defo had been right up there

[@M1keDaly]

Loz seems to be a great coach. I see why you've been on the podium the last eighteen month. Just the simple ques like the way to grip the farmers carry and speaking about micro adjustments to find the right position to dead lift. You two get on really well.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

People tend to believe that the people at the top are doing some crazy to get there, when in reality - it’s just the basics! 💪

[@romanstingler435]

LOZ is a LEGEND. I love how lovely his wife and he are together :)

[@christiansather974]

That opener ❤

[@danielmerriman8118]

COACH LOZ!!! And miss Alexa makes an appearance. What a training episode

[@Callum_Lifts]

Looking very strong Mitch! Love to see the relationship between you and Loz. This year in strongman is going to be amazing to watch and can’t wait 😊.

[@KirkWeatherby]

Top notch brother! All your content is so good and helpful! LHBK!

[@riseofthefallen301]

Laurence is pure gold

[@luci19]

Mitch I recently discovered your channel and now I watch atleast a video a day! You have brought me so much knowledge and joy, keep on doing your thing!❤️

[@LightWeightsBebe]

I love Big Loz. An amazing former world strong man competitor and was incredibly explosive and powerful. Major injuries stopped him for reaching his peak and potential WSM titles.

[@bfunkadelicmusic]

Easily my two favorite people in the sport!

[@petemurphy7164]

Yep, fully agree

[@Jack000222]

Awesome seeing my coaches coach! Having fun, working hard. Exactly what the gym should be! You told Loz one thing that I need to remember more often, " Be more aggressive". I think that will help me. #LHBK - Tattoo coming this Friday!

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

Can’t wait to see it mate 💪

[@tobinweavin6818]

Lovely attitude mate, always a breath of fresh air, top bloke.

[@ciarandoyle8953]

Love the training videos, really good watch

[@George_Bland]

Love both of you guys!

[@tritan344]

Arnolds is going to be great! GL!

[@beefyboytech]

Watching you guys lift makes me want to compete just for the heck of it, even if I come dead last. I have got down the walk with 12 plates. The sweat doesn't make it easy. I have noticed a lot of people use that pine tar stuff for extra grip in the competitions. Great job guys, I should start using chalk myself, if the gym I'm in allows me to.

[@jamesfaraimo1221]

Strongman is changed forever, unbelievable Legend Mitch Hooper ❤

[@ciarandoyle8953]

Great watch, top class content

[@leojones1766]

Keep up the hard work

[@iconoclastvii]

Love Loz' coverage of strongman. Likable AF

[@natinnz6134]

Unexpectedly wholesome 😊

[@x1_n_only_jtm_]

Great video 👏👏

[@Katie-jm4yy]

I appreciate how good the camera guy is.

[@914Rocky]

What a perfect collaboration. And as a fan of the sport for 30+ years, I don’t think I’ve seen someone as well rounded and athletic as Mitch. He’s especially suited for the modern strongman. He might struggle in heavy heavy shows like the early Big Z-Brian Shaw comps.

[@derek449]

Always love seeing the Loz.

[@benotyourboss]

Gonna steal this tips for sure!

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Great team working well at getting better.

[@outdatedmeme5544]

KINGS!

[@TheBigd1975]

Loz is a beast. Did a seminar with him years ago. He's in some nick nowadays while still being super strong

[@mykiman5955]

I can't wait to see how the seasons comps work out!!!! Im a Tom fan as Im from Scotland but there are sooooo mamy beasts in the sport who can win on any day and the Moose is right at the top of the tree!!!!!! Hopefully Moose will be at Giants Live in Glasgow as ive got tickets for the floor!!!!!!!!!

[@danielback7561]

Liz gonna be world champion skiing soon 1:05

[@andrewzach1921]

Commenting for the algorithm, thanks for the video.

[@joshuajodrian7364]

Watching Loz’s wife and kid working in the background is a great bonus LOL

[@ericpender2280]

Big Loz and the 🫎!! What a fucking duo. Keep winning boys!

[@fredkemp1444]

Just finished the video. Absolutely great guys! Can't wait to see you live in Ohio! 💪

[@justme_234]

i love you all guys❤❤❤

[@fazer12779]

Why hasn't Mitch got a shoe compensator seeing as he has a 2" difference in leg length? No wonder he has hip/back problem/pain.

[@Anonymous-sb9rr]

To train grip I do one arm hangs and a dumbbell carry. Keep the dumbbell bouncing of your thigh as to not prevent it from rolling out of your hand. I only do one side at a time, so it's an asymmetric core stability exercise as well.

[@michaelscott_aka_db_saf]

Yes the best coach in the business

[@M1keDaly]

@@chancefluke7833 Some of the best coach's in the world weren't great at their respective sports.

[@aarons3014]

In frame carry (the event in this video) he was probably the best in the world. Many strongmen are specialists in specific events. @@chancefluke7833

[@sagebauer1077]

​@chancefluke7833 look at the roster of athletes he coaches. World's Strongest Man & former World's Strongest Woman. Multiple weightlcass athletes. Top *disabled* athletes. He has coached people from nothing up to the very top level. There is really no denying his pedigree. 4th place at wsm & winning europe's strongest man isnt exactly nothing either

[@SectionNyne]

@@chancefluke7833 Loz actually was pretty good and with the right set of events he could win or at least be a serious threat in any comp. The biggest issues that Loz faced were that he competed in an era with peak Big Z, peak Brian, peak Eddie, peak Thor and he also suffered a lot of injuries.

[@SB-th8uc]

​@@chancefluke7833 What? Loz is a legend. Competed with the best in a prime era.

[@thebobman69]

2 of the nicest guys and 2 of the strongest,

[@WatchesWithAndy]

I’m from Cheltenham, same place Big Loz was born, he’s a big inspiration to get to the gym, and you are as well Mitch!

[@kermitthefragg]

He lives like 10 doors down from me in Swindon now. Lovely bloke

[@gdr1174]

Mitch is a great guy 👍

[@adamjones5931]

Loz is the f'n man.

[@Lickmabumbum]

Great video guys

[@alexsalter736]

I know its not crazy weight on the leg press, but the fact that he can mess around that much while holding the weight not at full lockout for so long is crazy impressive

[@neilhogarth8449]

The old guy still looking in amazing shape, wish he’d stayed major injury free as he was a monster when fully fit ❤

[@espenstoro]

Alexa being a great coach. Nice of Loz and Liz to show up too.

[@daveruddell5470]

Looking good Mitchell.

[@sarahstorr]

Alexa is the star of the show ❤

[@mememe0199]

What a cool gym

[@krusty6649]

220 double overhand after doing farmer walks is insane. wish my grip was near as strong as this

[@FuriosoDrummer]

Loz's daughter on the leg press was too funny.

[@pScruff]

Thanks so much for this series. I know that Olympic lifters use a hook grip to lock in the bar and it’s less taxing on their grip. Any reason that wouldn’t work here?

[@Lonewolf__666]

Top Guys 👍

[@quinnmetcalf8435]

THIS!

[@tomrhodesmays]

Good video

[@spencermackay9020]

I've got that haircut man.

[@dylnDOT]

Would something like a false grip be good for farmers walk? Similar to how you would hold something like gym rings?

[@Anonymous-sb9rr]

If you want to beat Mateusz in the frame carry, then speed is always an area to work on, even if you're already really fast.

[@luigui707]

You said I might not become the WSM.. so your saying there's a chance..

[@user-pw1kl3bz1v]

Are you wearing lifters while deadlfting?

[@Anonymous-sb9rr]

Is it possible to do a hook grip on the Arnold's frame, or is the diameter too big?

[@hydniq3327]

Mitch i question the mma fights . Those other guys have nothing to lose if they get injured . I say keep on track for WSM 2 . If you want to prove something be a five time WSM . Good luck .

[@LukePrichard]

Money talks. Strongman isn’t exactly a sport that pays highly compared to others. You can’t blame someone for looking out for there family first.

[@osh241]

Ive been holding a bar most of my life.. need to work on the other hand now..😂

[@fernandesalexf]

[@cb62benson30]

Nothing like farmers walk

[@DavidMcNutt1976]

Why such a wide stance? I bet if you brought your stance in you could pull more when doing conventional deadlift

[@z13l11]

No. No, he probably wouldn't he's a 1,000-pound puller for a reason, brother certain things work for certain people.

Are Mitchell's legs just getting bigger and bigger all the time. Sometimes his quads look ridiculous.

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

Mitch just wakin up? Looks like you still have CPAP lines on your face.

[@karpatheon]

I can't imagine being Michell Hooper's coach. With all due respect to Mitchell, he seems to have a hell of a big chip on his shoulder. Maybe it was just me, but during the video there seemed to be a lot of passive aggressive jabs between the two. Never did get a straight from Loz on what the stupid sh*t MH does, lol. With that said, Mitchell, I have enjoyed watching your career as a strongman, and will continue to do so. Just make sure to remove your head from your azz at times, especially when given life advice by your elder's. :)
