People mad that Mitch stands with his morals strongly. If Luke wanted people to stop saying anything, he could say that what was accused of is wrong, but he hasn't, so he looks guilty. I respect him for not being silent along with Shane.F and L.Richardson
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Mitch said that adultery is bad, and he doesn't agree with being adulterous, and he can't fathom being adulterous (given he has a wife and young child). There is a video on his channel about it - short, and some time ago. Folks bitching at Mitch just don't like competition for their favorite strongman, and it is very transparent. If an adulterer doesn't like being talked about, there's a very simple solution, and lesson - don't commit adultery. I know it is very passé nowadays, especially for those of us over in the US and our 'representatives', but I'm pretty sure the bible so many of them wave around has a word to say on the subject. Luke presented himself to be someone he is not, at every show, in every video, and at every opportunity. Now he suffers the consequences of a ruined reputation. It is what it is. Disappointing.
I think the way mitch said it was very entitled and self righteous. Not defending Luke but there are two-sides to a marriage. At the end of the day though - I don't follow any of these lads for their morals. It's about strength sports.
I think the thing with Luke that people have the biggest problem with is that he's not the man he portrait himself to be. Built his brand about family.
I personally have never respected anybody who cheats tbh. A lot of guys brag about it but I find it kinda sad. I honestly feel if what Luke did was true. It's not only an insult to his wife and kid, but to his fans too.
The max deadlift is a pity at the Arnold's because the guys were only given 7 weeks notice about the prize money for breaking 501. Thor I think is capable but I don't think he'll have enough time to prep before the end of February. Trey is also a shout for this but like Thor would need more time. And why they want to do it raw when they want the lifters getting over 100,000 is ridiculous
Mitch said mutliple times he has a CNS that goes from 0 to 100 in a split second, and never explained that black eye months back, his motto be kind must be a reminder to himself.
I know we all want to enhance and grow and develop the sport of strongman...and any negativity is contrary to that. But Luke's private life is not private: Kushi is releasing videos to UA-cam, as is her right, and she is 100% sympathetic and not holding back about Luke's ill treatment of her. It has to be addressed. Will the crowd at Brits boo Luke...? Will they throw things at him...? Strongman is a sport where the fans feel intimately connected with the athletes, so the betrayal of Kushi will translate into personal feelings of betrayal amongst Luke's former fans. Ignoring the issue won't make it go away...this is a festering abscess which must be lanced...
So the 501KG on the Elephant Bar. The thing is Rogue has that standing bounty on the 501KG Raw or more on the bar ever since 2019, atlethes know this and the money has been offered every year with no exception, barring 22´ when they did Squats. There has been a lot of talk from fans and atlethes about how the challengue should be dealt with, some like Rauno Heinla proposing a list of guest lifters to give a try, some others say there was not enough preparation time and yadda, yadda, yadda. Now, I´m gonna sound like a massive douche, and probably I´m, But that bounty and that record is not meant exactly for any atlethe but one man: Thor. Like from all the elite strongman atlethes that have ever deadlift only two guys in the whole world have done 500KG, one is Eddie, the other is Thor, and this last man did it in a single ply squat suit opossed to a multiply. The rest of the field have to get even close to 500KG in them multiply suits to even think of prep work for doing it raw (Disclaimer, 470KG is not even close). Additionaly, Rogue and the Arnold´s where teasing Thor for a whole fricking year taunting him to do the record with them. Thor is trying to put a comp together for him and other lifters to do 500KG or more, that comp was meant to be done mid february, but lastly seemed like it didn´t went how it should and a date is still pending... However, Thor started the prep for a 500KG deadlift. While other guys where resting from the season he started rushing his nerveous system to get there, about week and a half ago he already pulled 460KG and he is meant to do 480KG any day of this (maybe next week, maybe that changues with two weeks more of prep though). Has to be said, indeed Thor´s best lifts from last year where 456KG at ASC, 450KG at SMOE and 458KG at Rogue´s, but a crucial point most people seem to forgett, other than the easiness with wich he pulled, is the fact all of those where just his second lifts, Bjornsson hasn´t done a 3d deadlift in competition ever since 2019 when he tried 502KG on that same bar. ¿But wasn´t Thor Pulling in a suit? some people might ask, and the answer is yes, his recent 460KG was in the old squat singly ply, suit that never gave im many spring when he was 206KG and is giving him nothing now that he is 190KG, he order a new suit from Kaos but the thing was unfitting and seemingly wasn´t ready for the comp date. So is funny, Thor went all that trouble to break the all time deadlift record again, started the whole prep but the comp seems to not get together yet and his suit wasn´t ready. Enter Rogue challenguing atlethes and throwing more money than Thor´s original comp probably could get together and you hace the perfect conditions for Thor to do it Raw. If you ask me, is not crazy to think he can, i mean, somebody else has proven you can break the deadlift record by a long shot in th past if you focus on it, that man been Edduard the one man punch Hall. Now, Thor has been in 500kG territory, has the motivation and is heading there... Plus he literally accepted the challengue LOL.
Respect to you Pa, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors and it has nothing to do with us, like you have said there’s is a child involved and that’s the end of it. I’m in it for the strongman, Luke Stoltman is the current European champion and I will watch and support him as an athlete, that’s it, I’m not there to judge and no one else should either.
I follow Mitch for his lifting and watching his prep is so different than others. He's a clued up guy for sure and it shows. BUT when he starts to speak on topics outside of Strongman, especially the Luke Stoltman issue, he just comes across as an arrogant unlikeable opinionated ***t
@@MickyRichards That´s not true. Rogue and the Arnold´s have had the bounty on 501KG deadlift ever since 2019 at least, they announce it to the public weeks before the show to create hype, like they did every year except 22 when they did a Squat. This the Atlethes know.
Yeah, a bloke lifting twice as much as the lady next door is totally pointless.. they aren’t competing against each other, just marketing nonsense! As Pa says, rotate it so the athletes, both male & female, get a decent break between events. Everyone can compete comparatively and be slightly recovered for the next event.
I feel there is some bad feelings/blood between Mitch and the stoltman brothers. Mitch commentating on Luke’s personal life even tho it is now publicly known from posts and videos made vs (in my opinion) stoltmans are upset over how everyone in strongman always picks Mitch to win shows and adore him so much when Tom was in line to be the heir to the top of strongman and outside of WSM has finished behind Mitch in pretty much every show.
People mad that Mitch stands with his morals strongly. If Luke wanted people to stop saying anything, he could say that what was accused of is wrong, but he hasn't, so he looks guilty. I respect him for not being silent along with Shane.F and L.Richardson
Exactly, if Luke isn't guilty, then why is he silent.
What did Mitch say?

He bullshitted us fans. There's no sugar coating it.
trey did 470 raw with a subpar prep so i think he'll push thor on the max dead way more than people would expect
Treys run has been a long time coming, he's podium all of 2025 wherever he wants
The max deadlift is a pity at the Arnold's because the guys were only given 7 weeks notice about the prize money for breaking 501.

Maybe it's something they plan to do next year aswell if someone doesn't get it, which it's likely they wont
Respect the vouch for Ruairi Pa, absolutely deserves a spot at Britains

I feel like liz/loz said at some point on a live that it was a mundane accident at home, fwiw

He can say what he likes, love the people who get mad at him for it. Very entertaining 😂

"There could be another pull out..." Referring to Luke there? 🤣
What are your thoughts on Brian Shaws process for picking SMOE athletes this year?
Not sure Pa is the right guy to ask as he regularly gets invited to shows he has no place being at. Like ESM.....
Hey Pa, I'm still jammin on your Christmas tune...damn thing should have gone viral... I'm thinking you should put an album out! God bless lad 🙏✝️
That song got way less views than any other video. Bit awkward
Those events arent bad for large legs Hatton. Would think he has a really good chance of podium
He'll definitely win a few events

It just a advertising ploy no one will even try 501 with the comps likes of Arnolds and SMOE not allowing DLsuits and figure of 8 straps
Thor will
I think it's great that Rogue wants to see 501 go without a suit. So what if it takes a while before someone manages it.
Because it's being offered for this year without much prep time of the realistic expectation that someone will lift it.
