Anyone know who Mitchell Hooper is?

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Mitchell Hooper, the world’s strongest man, only really started weight training 5 years ago and is now champ, setting records, just an absolute animal. He also just looks better than a lot of traditional strongmen- that big belly isn’t there, dude is just built for what he does (strength/athleticism), I guess.

Anyways, just wanted to spread the name because he’s arguably the most dominant in any sport right now, or at the very least the most natural, the quickest rise, etc. He also seems like a solid dude, starting a “lift heavy be kind” brand and just being an open book and whatnot. I think smarts/strategy are behind some of his success, which is fun to see. Good dude to follow if you want some gym motivation- we’ll never be him, he’s honest about that, but go see what you can do. And check out Mitch, seriously, it’s a fun sports rabbit hole and a crazy progression.

Hooper is definitely a beast and his rise has been amazingly quick like you said. I can't agree with you saying he's the most dominant in any sport as Tom Stoltman is just as dominant as Hooper. They'll go down as two of the best strongmen ever.

not my cup of tea, feels like at any moment someone could explode their knee or blow out their O-ring

Mitch is at the top of strongman and still on his way up all while being one of the lightest competitors. He is extremely intelligent and his training is miles ahead of most other guys. His technique, strategy, and training is all top notch. If a lot of the lower level guys had his brain they would be right at the top too, Mitch just does everything better.
