So the Arnold Strongman Classic just happened, the 2nd most well known strongman contest in the world, and the one which demands the most static strength, making it what many consider the best competition for knowing who is truly the strongest man in the world. Mitch Hooper, a guy from Barrie, Ontario, after only 3 years of professional strongman training won the contest!!!
This guy is now the strongest man in the world and he doesnt even have a wikipedia page.

Isn't Gary Goodridge also from Barrie? What's in the water there that makes them so strong?
I met Gary once.

I met Gary a few times. my BJJ coach used to rent space at a Muay Thai gym in Scarborough and Gary comes in sometimes for privates with the Muay Thai coach. Sometimes he would roll with my teammate Ali, the biggest guy in the dojo. Ali ties him into a pretzel though.
I forgot Goodridge was from Barrie too. Yeah probably something in lake Simcoe.

So he followed up the win at the Arnold, by winning the actual competition called "World's Strongest Man" which has the longest lineage and the highest prize money.
Keep in mind, this is just rounding out his rookie year as a top pro and he accomplished more than most ever will in 10+ year careers.
