Bus pull monster 2 seconds ahead of everyone else and everyone else is within a second of each other 2nd to 8th place is like 4/10th apart something crazy. Hoop is running away. The thing that is odd before the competition Hoop was training an his shins where completely smashed up no idea his training methods include torture lol.

Dude is Amazing, he's a large individual but he not monstrous so seeing him move the weights around vs the likes of Tom was a sight. Tom was extra fired up trying to mount a comeback to retain his title, the next few years just got even more interesting. Hooper just became a Legend winning Arnold then this immediately after , Amazing for Canada that right after CJ is forced to retire that an even greater Strongman emerges to lead the way.

Hoopers pairing with Lawrence Shahlaei as coach is perfect. Loz is a similar structure as athlete, maybe a bit faster twitch and definitely less max strength. An athlete who had to approach the sport incredibly technically to compete with more gifted opponents and experienced as possible in the modern era of strongman.

Loz was always my favourite strongman so this feels like a win of sorts!

Well they went from a Heavy Event to that and Hooper Finished at top for both so Hooper just showed how excellent he is all around.

No doubt, worthy champion, but the emphasis should be more on strength than speed.

Everyone doing it so easily means it was too light, obviously.

That's a constant debate in strongman, it's always been a mix of strength, endurance and strength. I think it would lose something of it were all max lift. There's been injury issues before when things have got too heavy in dynamic events.

Agree yeah, but in this case I think they probably got it wrong.

The whole sport really needs updating
 
I'm just annoyed I have to wait until Christmas to actually watch this.

I'm going to see Giants Live in the summer so I didn't bother trying to avoid the event for the next 8 months like I normally do.

I hope Thor commits to coming back to strongman 100% now. Would love to see him in this lineup

I hope that bench injury does not effect his interest in returning.
 
I posted this already but if anyone has not seen this already it's worth the watch truly some of the best video production especially from a youtube video. I don't understand why Martins does not have a million plus followers to his channel.


 
Off topic but funny.
