Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22744 posts | Judging by the times that are coming in, the hold must be fairly light. | ||

I’d seen ‘the worlds strongest fan’ suggest him, but never heard of him other than that. First international comp and he cruises through to the final! | ||

I’d watched a few of his videos on Instagram but he’s definitely surprised me how easily he dominated the “group of death”. He’s only 26 as well so might be around for quite a few years yet. We may end up in the Novikov/Hooper era and Tom Stoltman keeps eluding to having a break after this years WSM | ||

Listening to his YouTube hes not got a lot of gear. Never done the car walk or power stairs. He's confident he will win. He's either the new mvm or a mad lad | ||

Ham but hey Member 4787, 205 posts | Seems like a sensible lad with some work ethic, talent and genetics. Interesting to watch a few "smaller" guys come through as genuine threats. Just wish Matius K was there. | ||

First international comp and he cruises through to the final! Yeah was a lot of hype about him, he won static monsters seemingly out of nowhere an put up a 475kg competition deadlift soon after that. I predicted he would go through to the finals but had Evan in my 5th spot, i think now that's probably where Mitch will end up. He could possibly win the first two events in the final but he's very inexperienced and has never done a truck pull or powerstairs so i think that's about as high as he could place with tom, novikov, brian an martins in the line up. Who the f**k knows though, even he doesn't. | ||

None of it makes sense He was saying in his recent podcast with giants live that when his comp was cancelled a few weeks ago, he did a 10km instead in 55 minutes, which is impressive at 140kg bodyweight. He’s intriguing to listen to | ||
