There are hot streaks, and then there’s the scorching path of triumph Mitchell Hooper left behind in 2022. In his debut year as a professional strongman, Hooper earned eight podium finishes in nine contests and won two of his last three competitions, including the 2022 Giants Live World Tour Finals<\/a> and the 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic UK<\/a>. He began 2023 with a victory in the 2023 Australia’s Strongest International (ASI)<\/a>. Now, as Hooper’s next professional display looms on the horizon, his strength<\/a> makes it seem like he’s unstoppable. <\/p>\n

On Feb. 19, 2023, Hooper posted an Instagram video where he completed a 771-kilogram (1,700-pound) leg press for eight reps. The leg training<\/a> is likely part of the elite competitor’s ongoing preparation for the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic<\/a> in Columbus, OH. Set to occur on Mar. 2-5, 2023, the famed competition will feature other superstars like defending two-time World’s Strongest Man (WSM) champion Tom Stoltman<\/a> and his brother Luke<\/a>, as well as two-time WSM runner-up Mateusz Kieliszkowski<\/a>.<\/p>\n
