In the world of extreme physical feats and strength competitions, Mitchell Hooper has become somewhat of a legend. Known for his incredible squatting abilities and impressive displays of strength, Hooper has always pushed his body to the limit.

The Strongman continues to experiment with different weights and exercises. In a recent event, he was seen performing a peculiar squat stunt involving Noah Oslen and his dog on his shoulders. Although it came out well, over the course of time, Hooper found himself facing a recurring body issue that could not be fixed and so had to visit a knee specialist for advice.

Knee specialist Ben Patrick came to the rescue of Mitchell Hooper

After pulling out the stunt, the Strongman has been having an issue with his knees, and his right side does not seem to open up. So he drove up to the knee specialist Ben Patrick to get an idea of what could be done to make things better. He captioned it, “We visited @athletictruthgroup to link up with the LEGEND of knees, @kneesovertoesguy 🙏”

After his visit to the doctor, he found out that there was a limitation in his ankle mobility as his right calf has gotten so tight that he needs to strengthen the muscle on the other side. Even his hip flexors have tightened and it requires strengthening and stretching. Patrick says, “So for the limitation, it’s not just forcing through like I’m not expecting you to have this mobility. But I didn’t get this mobility from forcing through anything. I got it from strength training.”

The doctor further adds, “When it comes to the hip limitation, this is the same concept as the tibialis trace there, so you’re actually working the strength on the other side of the limitation.” The Strongman is advised to carry out reps of squats lying down with the support of a cable so that he doesn’t have to actively contract the psoas. He is suggested to do it as a form of cool down post his workout sessions. Delve deeper to learn about the stunt performed by Mitchell Hooper.

Mitchell Hopper’s infamous stunt with his dog and Noah Ohlsen

Around 2 weeks ago, the World’s Strongest Man champion took up his YouTube shorts and shared a collab video with Noah Ohlsen and a special guest – Max, his golden retriever. He had Noah Ohlsen on his shoulders and Max was on top of Ohlsen’s shoulders. 

Although Hooper managed to pull out two squat reps with the men on top, they were not clean. His core was shaking and it could be easily spectated that the set was not effortless. However, his fans cheered him up for his stunt, and the result led to Hooper having a recurring knee problem.
