How good can Mitchell Hooper be? Can you see this new star taking a WSM title this year?
Great interview! The guy is amazing, his recovery ability seems inhuman 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I think a lot of people would benefit from being ok with 'being good enough every day', without that added mental pressure.
I certainly would.
I took a I quit test mine is 121 and I have common sense lol
This guy…. go Moose!
Ok. Reading, writing, arithmetic in the bin. That’ll make smart adults.
Hard to argue against log if one event determined the worlds strongest man. A deadlift, a squat a clean and a push press all in one! Good luck Mitch. Interesting interview.
The Paul smith comment/compliment🤣
I get the comparison about having less pride than someone with less natural ability who has worked harder to get where they are than you have but did he have to single a guy out and comment on their appearance
8:15 Lift Heavy Be Kind
.
The mailman joke killed me 😂
Great interview. But I have to say stones are a much better test to win WSM than a deadlift. Yes deadlift is a very great test of max strength. BUT if you can't move with heavy weight what's the point. Save the 3 staple lifts for powerlifting please please please.🙂 Strongman is my favorite sport. It's the only sport I follow and all you guys are great! And the gentle giant help each other out atmosphere I believe will propel this sport because the world is getting fed up with all the division and darkness that's trying to push its way into everything. Thank you strongman community.
He is trying so hard to be humble that it comes off arrogant. He keeps saying his not prideful but I think his pride is blinding him on how prideful and arrogant he is.
He says he was successful in school as he needed to be. He try’s way ti hard to act like his the smartest guy in the room. He try’s so hard to sound smart. And it fools dumb people.
Let me some up everything he just said in one sentence. He wants to under commit and over achieve. It’s an old sales tactic
Great strongman but god damn his mister im so different and special persona is a bit cringe😅
wonderful to see any person who is good and brilliant.
Bet he's popular on the circuit
Deadlift is a gym lift. You utilize the movement in everyday life but it’s not the same movement. I’d say a natural stone medley example natural stone to platform stone overhead or over shoulder into a carry. But a gym lift as a decider for WSM no way. I’d love to see a natural log long and short logs medley where it’s uneven awkward and you have to lift it press it and carry it. Or a yoke medley. Yoke into zercher carry into waiter walk.

8:15 I justt skipped here and I instantly knew who's he talking about.
Smith is amazing and I hope he improves even further.
What a good Podcast:-) Mitchell sounds very smart:-)) wish him all the best🙂
The moose 🫎 is ready to stoop his comp… Out
Hope he stays healthy.
Wow, Hooper is the man to make Colin Bryce speechless? (squeezing the juice)😂
I remember watching this guy come into worlds last year and thinking, "Man, he seems over-confident". Even cocky… But man, in his VERY first show at worlds, he blew everyone away as far as expectation! I've been watching him closely in the last year and man… He is a genuine threat to win it all this year! As a fellow Canadian, I am so psyched to watch this year's worlds! Go get it, Mitch!
After Arnolds Mitch didn't seem bothered he won. He was cocky with Mateusz. He talks down everyone else. He's a good strongman but if he won everything he'd be even more cocky. he needs to be more respectful.
The moose is winning wsm2023
Bring gold home Mitch!!!
Wow…and he just won wsm. I wanted Brian to win…but I'm glad he won to.
Do they get final events before then because he knows them?
Colin's wordss on truck pull turned out to be prophetic
