Look, Eddie has accomplished a LOT in the world of strongman and will forever be a static legend. But he's also constantly taking risks in training. His bicep got fucked in boxing because his punch technique was awful. No disrespect to Eddie, it's just the truth.
Eddie Hall's body type wasn't correct. Barrel chested, short arms (great for shoulder press) Eddie would have been better at wrestling with ground and pound. Totally agree that his boxing wasn't Mike Tyson's boxing style. Kinda WWE😮
Even just sitting in the stands at WSM this year felt like a work out. Brutal 10 hour days on burning aluminum surface fighting for shade breaks whenever you could, even skipping events to get a rest from the sun. Any time a cloud came over was a huge relief
Good point there Pa about your knee, a lot of people don't consider how important the knees are in completing heavy overhead pressing, just like with propper benching form, the legs are always needed, even with strict pressing.
Hi Pa. Do you think Mitchs difference from the rest is that he started with Cardio with the distance running and built on it? Most seem to try and get cardio fit after getting big and it seems very hard work. I personally feel Tom has 100% got the genetic potential to beat Mitch in competition consistently if his head in right and he has the right team around him.
Ive no idea why, but whenever you call Mitchell an alien it always makes me laugh 😂 but i completely understand why you do! Having this person whos gone from marathon runner to strength athlete and completely dominate the sport like this, as a fan im not convinced hes human. Plus the fact that with the last show he didnt only win it. He won by such a huge margin he didnt even have to touch the atlas stones. He really has boosted the standard at the highest level and i can't wait to see everyone next year at the shows implementing their plans to dethrone the king. Hopefully it works and stops the sport being a one horse race
I think world's should go back to Iceland. I'll bet that would have Thor on the phone to Colin and Darren looking for a place. Especially as former winners don't need to pre qualify by doing Giants shows or OSG.
@lf67hh28 The chance to become WSM in Iceland in front of a home crowd and be able to go home and sleep in his own bed every night. Which has to be better for morale and recovery than staying in ANY hotel. In regards to money, worlds pays a pretty enough penny to the winner. Certainly better than random Champions League meets in dubai.
@robertmills6497 You're assuming it's a tournament he values, which it's now fairly obvious he doesn't. Not to mention, his position has been made clear on Bryce. 🤷♂️ He makes more from his socials than he does from strongman, plus ASC has the bigger prize pot. In all honesty, there should be one major tournament that is done under one body. This will never happen, though.
@@petershortland478don't you find it interesting how Eddie and Tom Stoltman both british/scottish athletes can only do well in Colin Bryce's competition and they've also been associated with him in business and preference?
Eddie is the donald of Trump of Strongman. He won't admit Thor beat him on the deadlift. After he lost the Boxing match all he did was bragging about how "he took it like a champ", while simultaniously blaming it all on his bicep injury.
Does anyone else have any opinions on having a separate Giants live for Record lifts? Went to the Birmingham Log lifts, it was ace but kinda felt abit spent after the logs. Like the sting had been taken out, if that makes sense?
People complain about split jerking a log or axle, but are totally ok with the dumbell being all about explosiveness and technique? I love the dumbell, but its definitely not all about strength. You dont see guys strict pressing that big bitch haha. Events are events, lets watch and be entertained.
Who is number 3 at the moment? Mitch is one and I'm pretty sure Thor is two, but who is number three in the world late in the year, 2024? Trey? T Rex? T. Stoltman? Lucas? It's Lucas, right?
Let's all be honest. We have all seen Eddie pull out. Mid-competition because he knows he's way behind countless times because of injury, yet turns out he wasn't injured LOL
I think split-jerk press, and strongman style press should be 2 categories, just like sumo and conventional deadlift..... its just, not the same, and can't be measured the same. even if the end results is the same, the path to get there isn't... we need a single point of reference for comparing athletes.
The whole point of strongman was to get the weight into lockout however possible, giving everyones genetics a chance. Its still legal to clean the log however you want to so why not press it however you can.
I dispise split jerking a log or axle. But I absolutely do not think it should be different. I only hate it because I can't do it myself, so the overhead events I compete in end up alot closer. But instead of complaining, I just need to get stronger.
Meet Eddie hall IRL had no respect for my time, I asked him to sign my belt and he told me he will after his convo with someone else, I waited 10 mins for him to sign my belt and when he finished his convo he looked at me and just turned around and went back to his private area away from the public.
The thing with Eddie is he's very smart. He is full of shit but he knows thats what people want to see and it makes him stand out from the other athletes. Look at all the crap he said he needed to do to pull 500kg, few years later thor just pulled and now mitch will pull 505kg without it as well.
I recently watched a video about Thor eating a giant burger. It's a Fecking fried chicken sandwich. Stop calling it a burger. It's not a ground meat patty. Also what's with the people commenting on Thor being off his diet working twards the Rogue Invitational. You have no idea when it was actually filmed, and it could also a cheat day.
@@ChriSX13 I was under the impression that it had to be a ground meat because the idea for the process came from Hamberg Germany. The Hamberg Steak or Frikadelle most likely. So to the rest of the word it's a bastardization of a bastardization.
You always sleep on Matauz Kiliskoski . He is a genuine threat to hooper. He’s top 3 in the world at truck pull, keg toss, arm over arm, dumbbell, frame, loading race. Most silver medals at Arnold’s?
Sadly for him, he does suffer with a lot of injuries too. I think he trains to get strong, accomplishes that, then pushes it further, gets injured and his strength drops again, rinse and repeat. It's a shame because I think he could be a great strongman if he stayed injury free, he's one of if not the best at natural stones in the world.
Eddie Hall is my best Strongman of all time am awesome strongman . But ..... the way he treats his channel guests. You could see bint did not want that 100kg bells after watching eddie injure himself but eddie being eddie almost made him do it no care for biby. I dont like the man as a man at all. Ive seen the stoltmans clock his behaviour more than once. Eddie the beast is now Eddie the bell end 🛎
What are your thoughts on Novikov taking some time out. Do you think he can get back to his best and be competitive. He seems a little bit broken of late. Love ya Pa 💪🏻
Love your honest commentary Pa. Have you noticed what I call Hooper Haters? I’ve been a long time fan of strongman and I haven’t seen anyone generate such strong feelings for winning too much. When prior strongmen came on scene and dominated there was never any hate. WTF is going on?
I like that wsm is outside... However, lots of places in the world, even just in the US, that are sunny but not 10000000 degrees. It's just stupid to keep subjecting athletes to that.
On the Jeff Nippard throat punch situation... Milking the fuck out of it. If you're gonna go over to have a word or clearing of the air, why did Jeff give his camera man the nod and take him over for that word? He baited him and was hoping for something if you ask me. Mike's biggest mistake was giving it him.
Calling someone's name in a curious but non-aggressive tone of voice and walking about 6 feet toward them is not instigation but I honestly hardly cared enough to write this.
Instead of Bend it like Beckham, the new strongman saying should be ...Hoist it like Hooper.....you got Gretzky, Messi, Brady, Woods, Bolt, Oneil, Jordan, Crosby, Bonds, Ali, Schwarzenegger.....and now HOOPER! He doesnt live on this planet...he just shows up for comps and podiums....farckin alien cant.....
@paodwyer__ idk why but your channel won't let me comment on your posts unless I comment under someone else's post??? Anyways Eddie Hall will always go down as one of the greatest static strength strongman of all time!!!! He truly is one of a kind and should be given his flowers.
100% agree about WSM needing to be inside. Putting giant men that are already pushing themselves to the max in that high humidity and heat is dangerous. I care much more about Strongman safety and also seeing their true potential than some view of a beach or whatever in the background.
Mitch is sort of like the goose that lays golden eggs, or was it a chicken that did that? We have to resist the urge to dissect him and find out how he lays golden eggs, i.e. how come he has no weaknesses, is incredibly fast and strong, and wins every darn show + he runs a TH-cam channel and multiple businesses, I think, and apparently he came out of nowhere and is just about to really take off, because he now claims the comp weights are too easy.
Let’s just see how dominant Mr Hooper is. We know he’s just a gifted hard working athlete, but get him on your video and see if you can get him to call people cunts! I bet the Canadian in him kicks in and he just bleeps himself or changes the word to something fluffy and nice (could be the same thing) 😂
We have to remember that in this day and age people made a societal moral issue out of the Will Smith slap. He should press charges, but we don't need to lose our minds over it
Jeff story can die. Yes the other guy was wrong. I miss the old times of twenty years ago when people would fight and not run to the hospital unless we were dying. Jeff you got hit, it was wrong now quit milking it.
They definitely need to move WSM indoors. It’d be a lot better. I can only imagine how humid it was in the Philippines for 2018, and then those years they did Sacramento, it was blazing hot outside.
“Thor,is this you?” Funniest comment ever. 😂😂😂
Look, Eddie has accomplished a LOT in the world of strongman and will forever be a static legend. But he's also constantly taking risks in training. His bicep got fucked in boxing because his punch technique was awful. No disrespect to Eddie, it's just the truth.
So every other athlete in the world who trains doesn’t take a risk every session?!
@@paodwyer__ they (hopefully) know what they do and dont move into other sports at a relatively high level without having any technique.
