00:00 Eddie Halls recovery set up
01:42 Is swimming good for active recovery?
04:53 Eddie told me to go all in
08:19 Eddie got me into the cold tub
10:04 My final thoughts - Спорт
Eddie once said that he realised he couldn't out-train his competitors - Brian and Thor were working super hard too - but he could put more effort than them into his recovery. Smart move.
Didn’t help him in boxing lmao
😂Eddie tore a bicep leading up to the match, TBF. Excuses aside-- Eddie just wanted to knock Thors ass down, and so he trained for that. Thor trained to NOT get knocked down, still got knocked down twice, and won because he was able to avoid every haymaker Eddie was throwin'. 😂

@@samstudy21 his boxing prep was terrible in all kinds of ways.
Lots of people only see Eddie as a clowny guy, but forgoet where the guy started and how determined he is
And at his peak, that was the most insane static strength ive ever witnessed
Who sees him as a clown
@@jaleelz7435 Well he's always been a practical joker and messing around with others, but when he wants to, he can be very focussed.
@@wickywills still doesnt answer my question. I have never seen or heard anyone say hes a unserious clown
@@jaleelz7435 he has a lot of haters who downplay him because of his abilities
@@MoltenGriefing name one
I wish this was a longer video. I can’t get enough of watching two amazing people just talking about being the best they can be. Thanks for sharing Mitch and always big love to the beast.
i agree, shouldent be afreid to do a 30-40min vid here :)
100% agree
Very serious advice from Eddie here. If we talking about strongman mentality Eddie is your guy
Eddie is not lying about the sleep aspect. Even without a cold plunging, just spending like good 15 - 30 minutes in hot ass sauna and then just showering and washing yourself afterwards. The relaxed feeling you have afterwards is just something else and you sleep so well. At least thats my experience with saunas living my whole life in Finland where sauna is a cultural thing. Also no eletrical sauna beats an og woodfire sauna stove.
So cool to see Eddie passing on his experience to the next generation. I wonder what his power bill is a month. 😂 Great video!
It's a little weird because Mitch looks like the older strongman.
@@tomwest666 I dont know about that, maybe because Moose is formally educated so he sounds more mature? 😂 No one can deny Eddie is young at heart! Also Eddie can still do what he wants, even competing with the next generation, so no implication that he is done in any way.
I think Eddie did do a break down of it
@@SMac86he’s been retired for 6 years, he’s done
@@SMac86 It's because he's bald and has a moustache.
Love this. Eddie droppin the knowledge ball and Mitch taking it all in. The more you can take in the easier it is to take away what you think is important.
Glad to see Mitch giving it all a go but similarly watching Eddie with a relative newcomer and not pushing things on him, just giving his opinion like a seasoned pro was really great and reminds me that behind Eddies big bollock chat and jokes he’s a real gent and a scholar of the strong man sport just helping to push it forward! Fucking loved this and really didn’t think I would as I thought there would be tension between two of these best of all time. Bravo to both!
I would love to see Mitchell doing this for a year and see the results
Yeah 100% but how would you tell how much came from all this and how much came from the training.
This wouldn't say anything on how much it helps.
Only he could tell by feeling but there won't be any reliable data from it.
It does not need to be data he can feel the difference and he could tell if it helped our not@@GumsGnag
yeah but not as excessive, the amount eddie does is over the top
Sometimes you can do to much if something working keep doing look at some best boxers wrestlers some very basic facility's produce best athletes hard work dedication disapline
Thing Mitch he always trying to learn more and improve open-minded to everything
Highest level 1percent improve yr could make a difference
Just imagine it, @wolf_of_nature1858, YOU could join Mitch in the 6-degree cold tub. After a year, we could compare the impact the tub had on the both of you.
Really really happy to see this video. Thank you for sharing!
The more I get to seen into Mitch’s life; he’s a phenom. He doesn’t eat like a typical strongman doesn’t recover like a strongman. And just one of the world strongest men to ever exist
And hes not Built like the other strongman,hes moré athlétique than anybody
If the hot cold helps with sleep, that's good enough reason for an elite athlete to get it. Even if the science isn't there for the physiological part, but just better sleep helps recovery so much. I'm generally skeptical about most things, but as an elite athlete, you really gotta do whatever you need to in order to get that edge. Love the content!
Yeah, that's what I thought, too. With a scientific education, I couldn't randomly do stuff (that is stressful and expensive and thus possibly even detrimental) just because someone says so. There are so many variables, one person doing sth. isn't good evidence. But if it helps with something as basic and as important as sleep (which I somewhat struggle with), that is huge. A thing I have personally found (and I think this is backed by evidence) is that this hot cold stuff helps with soreness (just the pain part of it). I used to do them sometimes whenever my hamstrings were just beyond sore and not feeling like I couldn't even walk certainly helped with the mental side of training. If you look at it that way, it's more of an individual thing of "does this specifically help someone who has some specific needs" instead of just being a blanket recommendation.
@@MellonVegan that's a good point. Like if you can get the heat and cold to permeate, like really permeate, there could be a physiological response, whatever that may be. I do trust Hooper to take a scientific approach to anything he buys. As a skeptic, I stay away from any of those pseudo scientific "recovery" things, but like what Penn Jillette said about his weight loss "half of what I did was bullshit, and half worked. We're just not sure which half it is yet". What we want is to have Mitch as strong as he can be, for as long as he can, and do it without any major injury. Do I think he can win 5 WSM titles? Absolutely. I will guarantee that most of what Eddie does is bullshit, but we're not sure exactly what part.
Cheers.
And the fact there’s loads of scientific evidence makes it all even better…
For what it improves in sleep it may make up for it inhibiting muscle repair and ruining the swelling process
@@user-wu2lh7di2l fair point.
Cool to see someone learn and get excited about something like this. Shows you’re willing to learn abd see you’re missing on certain things. Awesome to see.
This channel is becoming excellent. Thanks to your production team, your doing good.
And this is one of the reasons why Eddie is one of the greatest strongman competitors ever! The man did everything that one can do to improve performance, recovery, you name it
Superb content as always AND Very educational too.. especially looking further than most have regarding recovery. Eddie has always done this, EVEN down to filtering his tap water for drinking.
Every little helps.. I do think it does to be honest. Hat off to you for exploring this part of the strong man scene 👏👏👍👍
Mitch with hyperbaric-boosted O2 levels and hot/cold therapy in season would be a force. Off season, like now tho, it could hurt his intended hypertrophy on his upper body.
Eddie is a great dude. I love that guy. Very down to earth. Easy to talk to.
Its such an awesome setup to have in ones backyard.
I think the sauna for sure is the thing easiest to actually stick to and do. Its also one of the most researched thing and really good for health.
Regarding cold plunge all the studies are on plunges not showers. Worth remembering.
Also one must remember that the cold interfere with hypertrophy. So its a tool that need to be used right.
As far as I know the sauna wont interfere with hypertrophy. Might actually improve it due to the increase in blood flow.
However it can be a strain so could affect training energy if used incorrect.
I love this collab! These two bounce off each other really well 😁👌
Eddie being humble and not overstating stuff; just explaining what's worked and inviting Mitch to think about it - pretty cool.
I give so much respect to Eddie, because he was willing to die to win world, strongest man. He was going up against prime, Brian and Thor. He literally had to do some thing that most men could never do.
This is such a fantastic idea for a video series. I hope he really goes ALL in but I think we'll get the usual stuff, which is still going to be so much fun and educational. I admire him for doing even the things he knows science doesn't show really helps. I don't think I would since I'm into the science stuff.
the placebo effect is a legitimate thing. Sometimes belief that something is working is all you need for it to work.
I love the feeling when you put your head into cold water, itt's like time is standing still for a moment, very relaxing. Used to fill my bathtub with cold water and use a snorkel to just stay there lol
Really cool setup Eddie has! Sauna is very underrated
welcome to winter bulking season mitch, I see your warming up with eddies ice tub haha (hyperbaric chamber might be the best but seems impractical and expensive, you'd be better off with a heat (jacuzzi or sauna) and cold (cryo-chamber/ice tub) mixture, depending on what you get they can have other uses too
Sooooooo much to learn from Eddy. Man i Love this combination.
It was awesome to see you at the Olympia. You visited the Sumo booth. Wish I had taken a moment to talk with you. I was trying to get my head into the game.
Brilliant video guys! Eddie chatting mitch's ear off in the cold tub while he's fighting for his life😂 Even if eddie's recovery didn't do as much as he thinks it did, his ability to have full conviction every thing he did will be what made him so good
Need more of these
I really respect that you’re willing to try those things that you’re cynical about and are willing to change your view if warranted. Some people are too stubborn for that.
I like this Eddie more than the footage of him always up to something mischievous. Super knowledgeable info.
I have heard sports scientists say that the cold training removes some of the growth stimulus from training but does allow you to train/perform more often. So check into that and see what you think but the take home message seemed to be to use it for quick recovery between events but not during preparatory training.
I'm sure that play off between session growth stimulus and session frequency is something each individual could play around with to suit themselves though.
The best of the best here. Love 'em both.
Solid Watch. Love the gems Eddie was giving. all Facts 💯🎯
For recovery the best thing is the sauna and ice bath. Some people start their day with the ice bath. There is studies showing the benefits of both. For what you do working out, you would definitely benefit from both.
If I had the money I'd definitely have both.
I like the pool too.. it's pretty cool.
man i love the calm and serious Beast. Not that i dislike when he's goofy but his real talk is 10/10
Ha ha, i love this! 😀 Man i can't believe this is all so new to Mitchell, this guy could be an absolute beast! Followed 🙂 Would love that sauna and cold tub setup of Eddies.
Eddie is a legend ! He’s loaded to have all this equipment in his house mad respect!
Recovery to improve the effectiveness of your workout - yes. I also wonder if it helps to prevent injury by addressing mini-injuries before they even emerge?
You should try sitting in a flowing river with Wim Hof in water that is just a couple of degrees and sit in it for 10 minutes. The feeling afterwards is incredible.
I've done something similar in Sweden where we plunge into lakes in the early spring, the water is around 3-4 C and you stay in for 12-15 minutes. After the intense feeling of a million needles subsides and the fire in your core is at max you feel as if you are taking a bath in summer when the water is around 20 C. It's crazy hard in the beginning but like Eddie said. You sleep like a baby. Your body also gets way better at fighting of viral infections but there is so many other health benefits. Both physical and mental.
@mitchell hooper, Mitch i hope you read this, i'd love to jump on a short call to discuss this with you in more depth ive looked into this for a number of years now
Personally recommend
Infrared sauna 20 mins a day post work out
cold plunge /Cryotherapy make sure its either in the morning and atleast 5 hours before training or 5 hours after training ( stoltmans was doing it straight after training and since this i've noticed their not really improving in strength numbers
Red light therapy - do whenever is good for recovery and soothing the muscles also
Hyperbolic is good especially after training and good breath work.
Breath work - shown to provide better recovery post workout already
Love this content.
Definitely the cold tub and hyperbaric chamber. You can get your temp up just fine with lifting and cardio so the sauna isn't that important. The cold and extra oxygen will benefit you tremendously
My mom who is in her 60's goes to take a plunge into frozen lake regularly and the thing is that she doesn't go to even sauna after it even though there is possibility. It does feel amazing afterwards but I just can't resist not to go sauna at least once. If you do go to sauna as well then it is still best to end it to cold water before dressing up again.
I used to work 10 or 11 hour shifts in a frozen food warehouse and that made me sleep better than I have the rest of my life.
I wouldnt be able to sleep knowing that the next day I had to spend 11 hours in a warehouse. Those are slave hours.
@@Josh-cf7xf Believe it or not, if I hadn't blown out my back, I'd still happily be doing that job. It was great pay and I miss what I did.
Interesting watching this, knowing Mitch openly doesn’t agree with any of it. He stayed so quiet that I forgot it was his video and not eddies haha. Big respect for both of them tho man 💪🏼🤘🏼
great vid mitch !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's crazy to see that a man who can deadlift 475kg shivers like a little girl because of some cold water 😂
Really shows the strength of the cold ❄️
what kind of super human whould be built if he did all this from the start (like 13 year old)
Was a great video seeing you visiting Eddie I hope you enjoyed it
I have been to a Korean spa / jjimjilbang several times. I have done back and forth between the sauna and cold tub as well as hot tub to cold tub. Cold bing approximately 45F, 7C - 50F , 10C. To me if you do more 2 or more times you will feel it more that tingling feeling over all. Hot & Cold therapy does work. It can do wonders waking up the whole body and system. After one day I can feel it all over for up to 5-7 days. It can be that strong. But must spend a few minutes in both several times. Enjoy
I think what makes this video so funny and “rewarding” as a viewer is watching Mitch’s video “stop cold therapy” and then watching this one.
I know he had valid points on why some people shouldn’t do it, but this video with Eddie makes it seem he was just listing stuff to avoid the torture haha.
I'm glad to see Eddie got a real sauna (not just a warm room but a hot room with water to throw on the stove). I bet he would LOVE Finland! Going to the sauna and skinny dipping in the hole in the ice!
Was expecting this to be lighthearted, I guess someone like Eddie would always have that serious side to him, it was nice to see that aspect as well.
Nice to see Eddie being a bit more serious in this one and interesting to consider what could you do to make you even more impressive for future :-)
Mitch I would take all this Eddie has told you and really think about. Don’t forget every person is different goals are different too.
them just talking in the sauna i think i didn't blink for 5 minutes... its so interesting , and eddie is seriously on the highest level you can be... his half ton moment was for me the most iconic moment in strongman
It’s really nice to throw some menthol drops over the sauna too so when it heats up and the water evaporates it opens up your air ways too
Kinda like how brian shaw is doing a fantastic strong man comp. Would be cool if someone or a group would make a strongman compound like the ufc training center with all the training and recovery stuff. Mitchell, try the hot cold when you're sore as hell and see how much it helps.
sauna is one of the best way to relax, well its obvious to us finnish people. we have sauna all places. but its a place to relax, to get your muscles relax, when the heat is right its like good massage or allmost some fysiotherapy.
As I've gotten older I've realised that recovery is a major key in continual gains or even continual competition level training.
would be sick to sere you come back to australia and do some of this stuff with friends!
Others have said it, but I have to add my agreement. We're so used to seeing Eddie as this goofball personality these days, but it's moments like these that force you to recognize and respect that he's still one of the most experienced, masterful wellsprings of wisdom and insight in the world of professional strength.
Very interesting documentary from two absolute machines
I love this, Mitch is hating the cold tub.
Super enjoyable video.
Eddie halls is a great person. But you are as well Mitchell. Many many great things in life will happens to you even more. I got to meet you to get inspired by you one day 🤞💪💪💪💪💪💪
Inspire yourself brother
Eddie from what we see acts like a child ! This shows how much more than that child we see off Eddie there is ! Total dedication to get what he wanted! Knowing there were bigger stronger people! But working out what he could do better to make him sucssed! Impressive 👍
Great video seeing Mitchell and Eddie together too big guys 👍👊💪
If you experiment with recovery methods, def make content on that b/c it's very interesting. I get very severe DOMS and am always looking for ways to recover faster.
First episode of No Stone Unturned premiers this Sunday. I’ll be going over every recovery method and ranking them!
Brian Shaw's longevity should end all conversations because of how well he takes care of his body. Have helped him to have a long career and pretty healthy after retiring.
Brian Shaw was always a big strong guy. Eddie put himself through hell to get the record and the title.
I remember watching Eddie’s videos with him, showing us the construction work. Telling us what it was all going to look like.
I would say adding the cold tank would be the first thing to do and could be pretty cheap
Do you think swimming for active recovery is a good idea for swimmers as well? Or should active recovery be different from your normal workout
i could watch these guys hangout all day
not sure if mitch was convinced there lol but i do see mitch evolving in terms of puting abit more effort into those small areas where it will make a diffence in just upping the his level even more to gain more big titles next year --- things like working on a few techniques that will add 10% maybe he gets something like a the hyper chamber which could add another 10% -- hes willing to learn and speak to anyone with experience and at least try --- i see him getting at least 3 more wsm titles and a couple more big titles before hes done -- and concentrates full time into his teachings and possible coaching -- maybe one day we get the hooper classic
Looking forward to the serious!
I would love to see Mitchell use a hyperbaric chamber as much as Eddie has, this has to have a positive influence on many things.
There's some who say cold doesn't do as much as hot on it's own. Saunas are great. The swimming is cool but I'd have to be convinced not to have an indoor pool or something instead. I guess the idea is it's like a treadmill for swimming.
Nice to see there's no beef! This is 1000x better than Thor vs Eddie!!!
You smashed the wsm pal 💪
Hello Mitchell, congratulations on worlds strongest man . Just watched the final , well done 👍🇬🇧
So...how was the sleep that night?
Love the videos new subscriber! Content is awesome! Request for the editor these videos would go down a treat with Subtitles! - Massive trend across all video creators!
love the hot and cold, built myself a sauna just to be able to do this, and it feels so good afterwards
Cold plunge Mitch. And Wim Hoff breathing with exercise during breath-hold while in Ketosis.
Looking forward to that fight
I want to be in on the powerlifting gym chains soon to come.
We need more men’s only spaces, and that would be sick. 💪🐰✌️
I don't have a sauna or any of this, but what works amazing for me is running anywhere from 5-10 miles outside in the summer mid-day when it's nearly 100 degrees. I'm completely drenched and exhausted and hop right into a shower as cold as I can possibly make it. No better feeling in the world.
Always impressed by how small Mitch is compared to most of the other elite strongmen, yet comparably strong. Impressive.
Hes more athlétique than any stronmen
Hard question. I think they are all equally beneficial. Start with your least favorite, the cold tub.
Get it all especially the sauna and cold tub.
It’s those little margins that at a elite level make the difference like Eddie said. It’s effort but it’s so worth it
My two favourite strongmen. It would be cool if you and Eddie became good friends like Eddie and Brian. I'd like to see you two chum around more.
Finn here, we here like to do sauna all year round, during winters, we make hole in the icelake, and go in from sauna. I would suggest not to make the shift too quickly from heat to cold,its not good for the heart
Keep your hands in.
Infrared sauna. Hands down one of my favorite recovery tools. I just wish I could have me at my house.
This video needed to be longer!
Nice never thought I’d see my favorite strong man in a tub.
Brilliant video Eddie should be a mentor
