Brian Shaw once said, "I wouldn't take criticism from someone I wouldn't ask for advice".
Wise words. Would love for moose and brian to sit together on his podcast and talk about life, sport and being human
Good advice
@@DadGetsFitSame!
Hey dude, I hope this one doesn't get combed past.
The other year i was in one of your first Uptake groups. Before and after each session you'd sit and talk with all of us about anything and everything. I remember specifically that you actively looked out for people that were maybe a bit shy or nervous about talking to make sure they were doing okay. It would have been so easy to do 5 minutes of idle chit chat and get started with your presentation on bracing or nutrition. Especially when there were a few of us eager to chat away. but you really took quite a good chunk of time to make sure everyone felt personally acknowledged, considering that had to be fitted in with your own training, family time, business management and everything else going on. Even taking the time to bring in Evan to shadow so he could see how the sessions generally panned out, despite it would literally be bringing in competition for you.
Just gotta say, that was some pretty thoughtful and selfless stuff. Really appreciate the honesty this episode.
Very underrated aspect. My brother is an Olympic speedskater and he credits sports psych as the best thing he's added to his regime
Absolutely useful!
What was it about sports psych that he found so useful?
@mitchellhooperstrongman leading up to the Olympics he focused on getting every little thing right, kind of like how you spoke about Brian Shaw being meticulous. He (and I) just aren't wired that way and when he wasn't 100% perfect he would get very down on himself. Sports psych helped him understand what he needed to let go/what couldn't be compromised. He also really credits them with helping him cut out some social groups that weren't in his corner when he couldn't see that himself. Varies person to person but I do think (especially in younger athletes who may not be as self aware, he was 22) it has value once you find the right fit
Speed skating is not at the Olympics
@@HashBrownDoyler not sure which Olympics you watch? It's been in the Winter Olympics for decades
Just wanted to say I have a lot of respect for your integrity and character.
Yeah, it’s true we don’t know you. But when you act the way you do on the stage, the screen, and in person at events, we can read the character traits that make up SOME of who you are.
“That” is what I have personally appreciated about you.
What you do may not be who you are, but who you are shows through in what you do.
Stay strong, worlds strongest dad. Keep it up
Mitchell is a breath of fresh air, he's the something different that this sport was begging for.
"Treat yourself as you would your child". No one needs to be perfect or to achieve anything in order to be loved or to be unique.
Great episode. Love seeing the vulnerability, this is how fans can really connect with their favourite athletes/artists/actors. I think you are putting many positive things into the world and I am glad that your reach and influence keeps growing!
Thank you! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed the episode, what's the most interesting thing you've learned about my journey so far?
@@mitchellhooperstrongman actually the peptide episode I found very interesting. Hadn’t really even heard of them before your video. Probably not something I’ll ever get to try but really interesting to see what medical advances are doing to help athletes.
Mr. Hooper.
I’ve been working out on and off for years. It has been YOU, your influence that has gotten me back into the gym and has me doing to consistently.
Don’t listen to the haters. Those are jealous people. Weak people.
To me, you are an inspiration and have helped me get my health back. You’re invaluable to me, and my family.
I can’t thank you enough.
It take courage to talk about our fears in public like you did wow. On my end, I would put it in second place because anxiety can be very disabling for some people.
Dear Mitch, again, thank you for this inspiring episode!
That process you describe of immediately discarding a victory in favor of "Ok, but what can I do better next time?" is something I relate to deeply. I was a really competitive athlete in high school and basically leveraged that type of thinking to propel me forward. It worked, extremely well. Unfortunately it kind of became my gospel truth for how I approach *everything* in life. I think that's when I noticed it was really harmful for me. Every single thing in my life started giving me anxiety. Basic social interactions. Classes. Relationships. They were all now some kind of weird measure of my worth. In every single part of my life I brought this relentless self punishing mentality that I had to be the BEST person I could possibly be. Nothing mattered other than what did I do wrong and how can I do better next time. The irony is that type of thinking drove me to be anxious and withdrawn. I wouldn't share my burdens with those close to me, limiting intimacy. I'd be warry of new relationships because the ones I already had were draining. I'd hyper fixate on every mistake no matter the consequence or significance. Any new obligation was completely overwhelming to me because the bar for execution was impossibly high. I've spent the last 5 years trying to unlearn that pattern of thinking. Not get rid of it - it's a useful tool in the toolbox. It does WORK. But it is NOT the one size fits all solution to approaching life. You'll have better relationships, more relaxing rest, more enriching hobbies, and simply a happier life if you can control that "performance at any cost" type of thinking. At least that was my experience.
The day we get complacent with ourselves is the day we cease to grow. It’s okay to be self critical as long as we’re honest and fair with ourselves. This criticism is like training you find your weak points and you work hard on them while maintaining the things we recognize that we’re good at. Mitch, keep growing and continue on the path of seeking perfection as a person, father, athlete, business person and all aspects of life. Perfection is in fact an unattainable target but it will allow you to be better than you were yesterday until the day you leave this world.
Happy Easter!
The Lord is Risen!
This was beautiful, Mitch! You are incredible.
I could feel it in my heart when you said negative comments hurt you, and that hurt me for some reason.
I have been strength training for over 16 years, but LHBK has been a turning point for me. It finally clicked why I was doing what I was doing.
You are an inspiration and an absolute phenom, Mitch. Godspeed.
Too me, you never look arrogant. you seem like a guy who put a lot of work into what u believe, and to be objective in a personal way. So when things are going bad for me, I love just watching and listening to u being human. So thank u for being, and thank u for taking up such a sensitive, humane and importen subject
Holy shit this guy is so.. now I have your attention, just wanna say you're such an inspiring athlete and I really appreciate the incredible amount of knowledge and value you have provided your audience in such a short time.
I absolutely love this freaking series. So awesome to see a deeper dive into all these pieces of the puzzle. Great idea, and every one has been really interesting to me!
Have a great Easter with your loved ones Mitchell. You’re amazing. I’m gonna make a fanart of you. 💪💪💪💪
Can't wait to see it!
@@mitchellhooperstrongman I’ll send it to you via Instagram?
This whole series is phenomenal, from the information to overall production. Being a self critic myself in the world of strongman, please don't doubt the work your doing here. Its excellent, I'm always looking forward to your take on any information/topics out there. Your bringing a new look to strongman, fitness and health community. I'm here to support it the whole way, thank you for your hard work.
Hello Mr. Hooper, I have been a fan for a long time and am currently a student in a sports psychology graduate program. I really appreciate you taking the time to cover this and it was an insightful episode. The main goal of sports psychology is beneficence and avoiding maleficence. I have talked to many professionals in the field and sports psychology is rapidly growing in elite sports and especially in youth sports. Many professional leagues require a sports psychologist or sports psychology consultant such as the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL. I am hoping that one day I may have an opportunity to introduce sports psychology into Strongman as a career to better help athletes achieve their goals.
Appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. I'm glad I've gotten to know you a bit more over these past weeks with the program. Take the negative comments with a grain of salt. You do good things.
I appreciate you mate 💪
I always look forward to when you post another video on this series. Great work and very interesting!!
I love this guy!
Always love these; the test you took sorta reminds me of what’s covered in “immunity to change”, comparing what you think against what you do and digging into how you can either change into your ideal self, or accept you’re chasing something you don’t truly want.
Thanks again for what you do, lots of little insights in this series helping me find what fitness means for me
Mental state and mental exhaustion can play a big role in performance. I was an example of this this past week. I have been working towards a goal of a 500lb deadlift. Increasing the weight of my set of 5 working set each week when I hit all my reps. I did 415 for a set of 5 2 times the previous week. Felt hard, but comfortable. Life got crazy. My head was in distracted/bad spot and when I went back in to the gym on the following Monday I barely got 415 to my knees. Now sleep and nutrition also played a role, but mental state was huge.
You are firmly my favourite strongman Mitch. By far the most honest and real guy in the industry. Your psychology responses and interview definitely resonated with me.
Thank you!!
What i love about Mitch, is he never miss a workout. Never makes excuses. Most athletic of the current top tier Strongmen. Mitchell Hooper have already surpassed Novikov, Licis and Tom Stoltman in merely 14 months. Incredible
This is a great series! My son and I just returned from a tournament in Florida. The night before it was to start he felt overwhelmed and like he alone because his younger brother didn’t come. We talked about a few different things and he was able to see past those issues and focus on his games.
Guys don’t talk enough about our problems. I’m glad he can talk to me about his.
Mitchell I just want to say you have had a huge impact on me, you told me at almost 50 I could hit an 800lb deadlift and I am not going to stop till I hit 800, if Mitchell Hooper believes I can I know I can!!! #lhbk
Keep pushing mate!
I really love the transparency in these no stone unturned videos! You truly are world class, and the fact that your score was "Average" just shows that much more evidence of how hard you have worked to be where you are!! Keep changing the world Mitch, your example is not only needed, its necessary!! 💩
I know you said these positive comments dont do much for you.
But your core bracing stuff actually healed my back and changed my life.
You're social media presence and replying to my comments inspired me to push beyond my plateaus
If you think about it, if you effect even 1 life in a positive way and do nothing else, your net karma is neutal. Youve effected 10s of thousands positively
You will never get back the value thaf you've given out. So if you can do that without major cost to yourself, youve gone infinite. Thats the power of technology and automation though too. All the coders need to be thanked
Happy easter, great video, loving this series so far
Appreciate you, what do you think #1 is going to be?
@@mitchellhooperstrongman Im going to go ahead and say high quality sleep, nothing better, for me at least, I don't do a great deal of recovery work but I always get very decent sleep and it fires me up every day, sleeping well and getting sun on my skin first thing in the morning is what gets me going every day and I never feel better in the gym than when I have had a good sleep the night before.
Sleep
Mitch i am 50 years old and i have lived through a horrible marriage and i built and lost a monster truck business due to divorce. I am now remarried to the best woman ive ever seen who treats me amzing but mentel health issues i carry with me from my past keep popping up amd its mostly me. I know i am a good person but i never feel like i do good enough so i definitley understand the self critical aspect. I have been working out for 4 years now and doing some strongman comps and i never do good enough to suit myself. You give back alot to the world so dont feel like you dont do enough you give back more then most. Be safe be strong man 💪
Mitchell... Your're an amazing dude spreading a great message. Lift heavy be kind is something I do every day. Keep doing what you feel is right big dog! 💪😎
Huge respect Mitch!
Hey Mitch, don't forget the incredible amount of positive you give to the world. The love people give to you is a result of the positive and love they feel from you. While you can't get to know everyone who celebrates you, just know that the energy and positivity you give them is incredible, and as a fellow Canadian, we are incredible proud of your success and are jacked with what you are doing both on and off the stage!
I have actually written many positive comments beneath your videos only to delete the draft. Glad to see they would have had little effect on you and you mostly look for "constructive" (perhaps destructive at times) criticism so you can better yourself.
You are definitely where you are because of your genetics. Not so much your stature, as there is less difference between me and you than there is between you and tom/brian for example. But your gift is between your ears combined with your heart. The ability to always strive for better, even when at the very pinnacle of the sport. This will be and has been your number 1 tool to success. Long may it continue.
Great series.
still loving the series!
I think you can do anything you put your mind to your humble give loads of advice that’s wot makes me believe in you YOU ARE THE STRONGEST MAN ON THIS PLANET ATM LHBK
"Honey, get your No Stone Unturned bingo card, the new one is out!"
For real though, appreciate the openness and honesty. The mind is our greatest ally and worst enemy. Not easy to make sense of all those signals. I've had my autistic brain poked quite a bit (and diagnosed), it's very fascinating. And yes, physical training made a huge difference. ☺
Thank you for sharing this! It's quite personal so I'm surprised how open you are with this
This was great!
Thanks for being that honest!
Yes bro keep it coming flims and tips 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I like that this video changes thumbnail every couple of hours.
I understand, you're on to the next goal and want to keep moving forward.
This is a great series
Excellent video!
What did you like most about the video?
While it is a great thing to be always internalising, seeing where we can improve. There are 2 types or people in this matter. People who blame themselves and people who blame others. For us it is important to see the value it brings just being able to look at ourselves critically. Never put yourself down because of this great skil.
Another great video. One thing you didn’t talk as much about in the video that I’m curious about is maintaining certain arousal levels. There are people like Evan singleton who have issues with longer duration shows and many people believe it’s because he over stimulates/hypes for every lift.
Great video Mitchell , it was cool to get a little insight into you psyche.
I have the same problem that I'm overly critical of myself and never celebrate my win so to speak but I have not achieved anywhere near what you have .
I also don't care if people say positive things about me but I do let negative comments get to me . can't wait for the next video of the series.
Thank you for this series. This was incredibly interesting to me. Once you are doing the basics of training and preparation well I place mindset as the differentiator between maximising potential and performing below capacity.
I watch football / soccer. I recall a game where one player was sold by a club and later played them. He had the game of his life, performed at a level he didn't before and never since. He seemingly wanted to prove to the manager who sold him that he has good enough and he excelled. The sad thing was that he was capable of being good enough, but couldn't execute this level of performance because his mind wasn't right. He didn't seemingly have the motivation to perform at his potential. His mindset was likely the reason he was sold given the phenomenal ability his possessed.
When I see what you do in Strongman I see something different. A person who can train and execute with great focus. You seem to be aware of what is going well and what you can do to improve. This is what I see as realistic self confidence that see ourselves in the world clearly.
When it comes to what others say I wonder if a person's degree of agreeableness impacts how much we take it to heart. I would consider myself to be in the top 1% for disagreeableness. I do not care beyond perhaps a few family members what anyone thinks of me. You can say anything to me and all I will do is look what how view myself. If you have a point I listen and improve. If you don't it is disregarded.
A person's worth is beyond what they do in a profession or endeavour. You value is not in your accomplishments, but in the impact you have on those around you both positive and negative. I understand the disconnect between admiration and achievement in a field and your value as a person. In my view you are no less or more of person for your achievements in Strongman. Your value lies in the impact you have on others and from what I see it's kind, caring, thoughtful and supportive.
I have huge respect for your achievements, but more respect for you as a person. Strongman is period in your life that allows you to excel, but doesn't define you. The balance you talk of is where true strength can be drawn.
Cant wait for these neck exercises
Mitch, you strike me as methodical, and very mindful but not neurotic or a perfectionist.
It is what I admire about you anyway.
"To be honest, I don't think we can talk to a lot of people about our problems."
Not much more you can say, this is spot on. Suffer in silence my friends, and stay strong.
Fantastic video on an oftentimes uncomfortable subject.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope you see this comment because it’s the first time I post in my life on any platform. You are by far the best Strongman I have seen in my life (I am 48 years old). You dominate competition and are impressively entertaining/brilliant. Keep going; staying on top is very hard but you are doing it at a level we have rarely seen. Now that you are father dig in hard and set your family up with generational wealth. You have 5-6 years before your presence truly matters with your children. I say this from my own personal experience; I grew up poor. I worked my ass off to be successful; my children are now living a life I only could of only dreamt of as a child. So keep going; you are blessed with many gifts - discipline being your greatest gift. Give it all you have for the next few years; you will miss your children but they will be oblivious. So crush it while you can and set the Hooper name up for generations to come.
Hail to the MIGHTY MOOSE ! Mitch you have a mental edge over many other competitors and a vast knowledge of the physical body in terms of performance and function. That ain't bad !!
@mitchellhooperstrongman that's it! You say you dwell more on the negative comments, so I'm making it a personal mission to BOMBARD you to an almost annoying level of positivity! With what you're doing both with the educational content and the LHBK brand you've more than earned it! Prepare for what's coming your way!
Bring it on 💪🏼
You are tough one to crack mitch...more power to you man
Absolutely incredible video, Mitch. You say we don’t know you, but you let us know you so much more than you have to. That’s incredible. Maybe some Buddhism practice or study could help you. Be ok with empty, be ok with loss, be at peace without accomplishment, or perceived contributions. You may fear that you would lose your drive or will to do good and achieve, but I’d bet the house you would lose nothing of that. You may just find peace, while still living out your drive to compete and achieve and share. I’m a medical professional and you remind me very much of one my residents. He is a great guy and he CARES about what we do and the people. However, he battles with mental health and specifically self-worth coexisting with workaholism. He like you is a great person - caring people that try hard. Times of imperfection or imperfect processes rip him to shreds. It is ok to harness these feelings to help improve the world around us and contribute. That is a positive quality, but if you go too far it may it can be damaging or even cause discrete momentary times of mental crisis. In that case, it may help you to, in advance, explore thoughts of true peace within an imperfect system, person, or world. Be OK with the fact that the world and people MAY not have a purpose. This could be a fundamentally chaotic and pointless endeavor. Even if you don’t believe it, exploring those ideas may help you find peace. Best of luck in all of life and thanks for being a great voice in this space.
You aren’t responsible for how other people perceive you. Their own personal struggles and traumas create a lens that they see through.
In 33 these years of competing in high level combative sports mindset has been the make or break for me. Currently running my own Jiu-Jitsu School and i really try to share what ive learned over the years so they don't have to go through the long process I did. However it can be different for everyone but I have a few principles I swear by.
Happy Easter. Enjoy the family time.
Thank you, you as well mate
While it's important to celebrate and recognize wins, an unwillingness to still evaluate areas of improvement leads to stagnation and getting quickly surpassed
Excellent video. I was hoping to hear more about narrower performance things like Peak Performance: Mental Training Techniques of the World's Greatest Athletes by Charles A. Garfield or The Inner Game of Tennis type stuff by using psychology to aid our physical performance.
Perhaps #LHBK needs to expand out to include some #FF family first merch
The Mind Gym. Number 8 on the list.
Seems like a popular sentiment with famous/very successful people.
Stay Hungry Mr.Hooper💪🏻
Hey Mitchell, A book that I read many years ago written by a sports psychologist and world class weight lifter Charles A. Garfield, Ph.D. is one you may consider taking a look at. The books title is: Peak Performance, Mental Training Techniques of the World's Greatest Athletes. Garfield deeply studied, through research and interviews, the connection between psychological preparations and athletics performance of Olympic athletes and elite athletes of that time from U.S.S.R., East Germany and the U.S.. The book was originally printed in 1984 and may be a good tool when applied in you professional and personal life.
You're hanging out in my world. Nice. I was doing some some sport psych coaching at one point.
What were some of the practices you were focusing on to help athletes?
@@mitchellhooperstrongman anxiety reduction, identification of routines and rituals to enter flow state, trigger words, mindfulness, energy control during competition, mindset management focusing on challenges vs. threats, correct goal selection, process vs outcome thinking, and confidence were some of the big issues.
Mitch, said that people praise you without actually knowing you. I’m not sure that’s entirely true. In your videos you are very transparent about your training, your nutrition, your supplements, and what you think. This video shows genuine self reflection and insight, and vulnerability. It takes great character to do this from as raw and candid a place as you do. Yes, I know this is edited, but everything is consistent. Your brand, LHBK, your willingness to help the elderly, your desire to help train people to be stronger, and the fact that you even mentioned use of HGH for real honesty and transparency. I have never heard of any other strongman competitor mention that or be as open and honest. So, the point is, unless your entire persona here is crafted, people do like you for who you are, and the praise is real.
So cool
What was cool about it, mate?
Very interesting episode and comment about “…not being able to do this for long…”. How have folks like Brian Shaw and others been doing strongman for 10,15,20 years yet seem to have a good balance in life? Which is the key to longevity
Big part of psychology, counseling, and mental health is just how well you and the professional fit together. I don't like this guy's approach at all, but I'm sure it resonates with some people. The research I'm familiar with puts 65-85% of the positive effect of counseling on the relationship between the counselor and counselee. Intervention tends to be around 10-15%.
What was it about his approach that you didn’t like?
@mitchellhooperstrongman relying so heavily on a personality test, coming from a place of authority rather than establishing equality in the relationship, being too directive instead of guiding, interrupting and invalidating what you were saying. I guess it makes more sense to take this kind of approach for a one-off video, though. And I'm sure I have plenty of bias as much of my original training is rooted in the non-directive approach of motivational interviewing.
Train your mind.Practice relaxation so you can calm yourself down when things become stressful.Train where your attention goes so that you can stop things getting in the way of being present in the moment.Train to get stronger.LHBK.
I think it's the fact that people who don't know you, might idolize you or idealize you as a whole.
Nobody is completely an angel, nobody is completely a demon. The more you know someone, learn about their past, their essence
the more both extremes (angel and demon) tend to the middle which is just a regular person.
Woah, you really forgot to emphazise how good exercise is for GETTING good mental health!!!
You're world strong man and we all admire that, but I guess we all know that you're not perfect just like all of us; you suck at some part of your own life and that's normal and we don't expect you to be perfect; we respect you for what you do and your efforts to do something good while having all the flaws we all have; that's called life, we all in this; feeling ups and downs daily, more than anything I admire you trying to be a good dad, husband and at the same time, best at your profession. That's not easy, thank you for doing the hard. :)
Now this, I personally believe is where most athletes including myself falter.....mental strain💯
Hopefully there’s some great takeaways in the episode for you 👊💪
There's actually some interesting research on the negative impact of cognitive load on sports performance.
Nice bideo
Man the tune and the sad track is bumming me out.
Can we do the Judgement index rating our selfs?
Where can I get one of those soft belts that you use? Because I trying to find one for myself.
Do you have the link to where we can take this test for ourselves?
Not an exact link to the test I took in this episode, however, I believe you could find this by searching “Judgement Index” online.
Check out Ecclesiastes mitchell
I think there is a big difference between sports psychology and sports therapy or just mental health therapy. I think you would benefit greatly from an approach that treats sport psych programming just like a coach does physical programming.
Hysterical strength comes from the golgi tendon organ
Mitch, your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.
Just seeing if a negative comment will get your attention 😂
You’re killing it man. Wishing you and your family all the success that’s coming to you.
💪💪💪
Mr Hooper, it is a late night, stop reading comments and go get some well deserved rest!
You are helping a lot of keep it up but listen to the trolls
I mean when i read reviews of things im usually looking at the 1star reviews more than the 5stars haha.
If you do the same for yourself you need to see if what they say is justified. Are you weak at something? How can you improve it? Its good to find weaknesses or problem spots and try to fix them - as long as what is being said is REASONABLE. 😅
It takes a lot of bravery to have something this personal on youtube.
Also, a big middle finger to the people who call Mitch arrogant.
It's just not accurate.
Not surprising at all! I think a lot of people who succeed and do well are very self-critical! It's part of the drive that creates the need to get better every day! Though, like all things, it's a balance too much is bad, too little is also bad. As a suicide survivor, being self-critical can get so out of hand that it can cost everything and throw us into a very unhealthy downward spiral.
In your experience, how do you find the balance?
@mitchellhooperstrongman I understand it can be different in everyone. I know what helps me is the small things, finding enjoyment in the daily grind and being ok with the journey even when there are setbacks. Also, I keep stable people around me, I find that if things get out of balance with the ones that influence me, it definitely adds to the unhealthy spiral of being self-critical to unhealthy levels. I think part of it is also experience, knowing what is healthy and unhealthy in the way of being self-critical, turning into a tool, and not a self harming obstacle.
20:00 Eddie Hall for his 500kg deadlift went into something / some state like this. But that was for 500kg not the 1500kg like the woman. Humans are just weird like that, we can do so much more but are unable to tap in to that (for now).
Tiny laptop on giant quads will never not be amusing.
