That’s amazing mate, keep going 💪💪

Good d for you!

Good stuff, what about step 6 though. The PED usage. I respect the guys who openly talk about that way more than the guys who hide it

@@drock213 you're replying to a comment that doesn't mention any kinds of steps or PED usage at all. However, I'll answer anyway. It's because a lot of kids watch WSM and follow the strongmen on KZfaq and all steps should be taken to not expose kids to the idea of PEDs. Anyone who is serious about competing can find that information elsewhere. It shouldn't be easy to find. Also, stay natty if you aren't competing professionally.

@highviewbarbell Well everyone knows these athletes use gear, so they try and promote you their plan but conviently leave out the part of the plan that got them the best results, the gear. The few athletes who do openly talk about their gear usage are usually respected way more than the ones who don't talk about it, yet are trying to sell you in their methods of training or supplements

Hahahaha

step 3 might shock you!

This guy is an absolute fucking gem.

I remember that he was canadian but i was just hearing the odd british australian accent but that's quite unique

Is that what it is? I was like... Russian, south African, California surfer? Every word confused me further. I'm Australian and I'm not picking Aussie at all! But the only Canadian I know is letterkenny, so I'm lost.

​@fredrickmazeli8340 after you said it I heard a few bits of almost posh British.

@@slowlyworkingthingsout Canada has so many different accents, Newfoundlanders sound like Irish/english Pikeys. Out west sounds more slow and similar to native American accents mixes with Scandinavian, the typical hoser accents. Ontario is kind of like midwest American. and Quebec obviously French accents. I don't think one province has a similar accents TBH.

I've done 20x1400 at 78 kg but noticed the rom seemed to be shortening

Yeeee buddy, that's awesome.

You'll love Jeff Nippard. Check him out!

Greg knuckols/ stronger by science might be up your alley then

Get on MST Systems if you're into to strongman or S&C in general

Dr mike isratel is bodybuilder with phd that has same ideas as this guy, love them both

Appreciate you mate, if you’re serious about getting where I started - check out the programs I offer on my website moosecoaching.com

You probably won't get a hard answer on this. People of different builds respond differently to different pressing exercises. I'm definitely not a pro strongman but flat benching helped me get to a 315 strict press while incline presses haven't done anything for my strength (but they have helped me build my shoulder and pecs in a way that has helped recover from injury). Some people do no flat benching at all and succeed. The best thing you can do is introduce a large variety of pressing movements slowly into your training and record the results of each one to determine what movements give you the best carryover.

Short answer. They can help if you alter your pressing motion to incorporate more chest. You don’t need them, but if you want to add them, they’ll help somewhat, but they aren’t going to move the needle as much as just training your overhead pressing better

First thing i noticed too.. 😂 Its shit to wear, but it saves our lives..

of course not. it's astounding how PEDs are in every strength sport, crossfit, bodybuilding, weightlifting and so much more and barely anyone talks about it. this guy went from runner to world's strongest man in what, 4 years? absolutely impossible without PEDs

Most of em Don't gotta take a lot

I think genetics’ encompasses that without specificity talking about it. Response to drugs is largely genetic as well

@@cccboarding Clueless. Take any footage from WSM at any point and you’ll see competitors suffering from VISIBLE sides of AAS.

@@od1568 I'm aware. You dont think eating 7-8000 calories a day and barely being able to run doesn't cause those side effects too lol. I'm just saying most top tier athletes in aas involved sports have such a high response you don't need that much compared to someone with shit genetics trying to get to that level. Myself for example can get absolutely yolked off just trt n 25 mg of anavar pre workout and I've seen kids 1-4 my size use 5x as much and not gain a pound

Smartest drug user.

You are likely correct!@@Randoverse

incredible dishonest to not mentions PEDs. yes, it's obvious every SM takes it. i don't care they do, but they should still ne honest about it. this talk is a joke. i've been doing progressive overload and basic movements for a decade. but i guess i've not used airwaav which is why my gains aren't this good.

@@tb-lp6vrif he couldn’t bench over 315 natty then roids were not the limiting factor

Thank you!

And anabolic steroids. No wsm competitor is natural c

Steroids

@@marcusjonsson5531 yes factor that in as well.

I wonder what most take though. Can only test work well enough? To me Mitchell looks like he does only T and little bit of HGH maybe but Mateusz looked like someone on Tren aswell 😁@@marcusjonsson5531

yeah but the comment was about the physical transformation. I don't think anyone asked about steroids.@@marcusjonsson5531

Those partial reps without fucking locking out work best to keep muscle in constant tension I do that too in shoulder press and it's better than locking out each rep For dumbell press I do full lockout though

@@lukecullins9934you know about PEDs right???

I know, I’m only a few minutes in and keep thinking “this sounds like a Dan John presentation.

Yes 😂

and how much of your blowing up is pure fat, buttercake?

he's a top AAS responder. put your mechanics on slightly higher than normal T and then spend 80% on rehab.

The Canadian system as a whole is despicable. I hope you don't live there.

i felt exactly the same watching this video!

So, you're admitting that the hypothetical champs methods worked, because they are the champion. But you're calling the methods stupid because they weren't in your books. Ok just checking

@@SmedlyButler-cq5iq people can succeed regardless of training methods because they possess 0.01% genetics and a great work ethic. Usain Bolt openly admitted his training partners all worked harder than him... Have you ever watched his training? Those same methods often don't work for the 99% percent. I've worked with countless guys who for example have deadlifted 220kg+/near 500lb after 6-12 weeks training. If you asked them how they'd say... Go to the gym and do deadlifts 1x per week Yet someone else might need to do some level of periodisation to achieve the same feat in a reasonable time frame. I'm merely pointing out that in Mitchell Hoopers case his training seems scientifically sound and he can articulate it well. That doesn't mean he's not a genetic phenom.

@@SmedlyButler-cq5iq there are many champions that succeed in spite of their methods (that scientifically don't make sense). 0.01% genetics & hard work can take people right to the top whilst they do things that on paper aren't contributing much... My comment was merely pointing out Hooper is a weird case where he's informed & a champ. He's not the only one ofcourse but there are more genetic phenoms spouting unhelpful info than not IMO. If you want to run 100m sprint faster copying Usain Bolt might not be wise... If you want to deadlift 220kg/500lb-ish kilograms asking the countless guys I've trained who just turned up to the gym for 12 weeks & practiced deadlifting to do so.. (6ft+ farm types) Also might not work. If you want to grow your arms asking Phil Heath might not be as useful as Eric Helms - but based on ranking/physique most will think the opposite. I'm not discounting champions methods because they are champion. I'm merely pointing out it's amazing to see someone articulate & well informed in the champion spot. And I believe it will benefit the masses Because most people follow the champs And training like the champ often doesn't get people what they seek.

@@SmedlyButler-cq5iq no I'm merely pointing out that it's nice to see a champion who trains smart and can articulate their training & the science behind it. Many champions are successful in spite of doing things that are sub optimal, doing nothing or even arguably detrimental. The reason is 0.01% genetics and a solid work ethic can take someone to the top.

Yeah, that missing "Step 6: PEDs" is the 300 lb gorilla in the room that he's purposefully ignoring for some reason. I resent the implication that someone can become WSM without steroids, as if being an athletic 350-400+ lbs at 25% body fat is something attainable for a natural athlete given they do the 5 things laid out in the presentation.

In this case, the genetic advantage is incomparably superior to that of PED use. Nobody is doubting whether the World Strongest Man uses gear, who cares.

@@theKashConnoisseur Yeah, he's saying he expects 2%-5% increases every week and then goes on to say that he always deloads after 4 or 5 weeks. Conservatively deloading every 4 weeks instead of 5 means he's expecting a compound increase of like 227% each year. Even if he's not compounding that's 82% per year, so a 315 squat going to a 573 squat? Either he's overly simplifying his own progress for rhetorical purposes or is ignoring that the average intermediate lifter is adding maybe 5-10 lbs per month to any given lift with competency. I like Mitchell and obviously he knows what he's talking about but I struggle to see this as more than a coded sales pitch for AIRWAAV hidden in some general knowledge from an accomplished sponsored athlete. I hope otherwise but that's what I'm seeing.

It's better not to say anything as it will encourage people to use the same.

@@LawrenceTimme Steroids are more popular than ever. Being silent just makes people guess and use crazy amounts instead of being told a safe proven method. You have a very old man thought process. There is no logic behind your statement, its a kneejerk thought. Do you think that making drugs illegal stopped drug use? Or how about when they made alcohol illegal, did people stop drinking? Keeping silent or banning something is cowardly and ineffective. We all have the right to make our own choices and we should be open and honest so others can learn and be safe. Strong man is more popular than ever and its because drug use is more popular than ever. This guy wouldnt have ever won a competition without drugs.

Test really helps with work ethic.
