He puts on a brave face, but we all know Mitch is dying inside every time one of those girls bests him 😆

I think those girls need to be tested, that tug of war really makes me question their natty status

Imagine the title being "how many 4 graders can I pull?"

His shoes are nerfing him

Now you can flex by saying you're stronger than 8 4th grade girls

Wow! Mitch is 6'3" and weighs 320 lbs, that's insane that he can dunk like that. Seriously that's extremely athletic. How many linebackers or DT's his size can dunk?

I just searched it up on Google and wow he really is the Worlds strongest Man. He was crowned quite recently. Congrats man hard work pays off.

Drake’s heaven

Holy fuck man, between dunking, competing in world drive competitions, throwing a baseball 80mph with little training, a 3:24 marathon, WSM and other top tier strongman wins. Dare I say: you have a case for one of the most versatile and all around athletes on the planet.

Those girls working together to beat him must be one of the most adorable things I've ever seen

I think it was pretty impressive how quickly the girls adapted to tug of war . Just between the first and second go , in the first one they were falling all over pulling at different times . The second go , they were more coordinated saying “pull “ working as a team . Great job !

It's about traction, too The world's strongest man still only has 2 feet to grip the ground

I used to work in wraparound childcare and, being a powerlifter at the time, made up an activity for the day where they'd do bitesize Strongman, but being a responsible human-puppy herder, I toned it down to what I thought was their level. They monkeystomped every event I made. Massive underestimation of the strength of wee kids on my part.

Seriously one of the coolest videos you have done. What a fun idea

The biggest 10th grader i've ever seen...

I think the dad challenging was a coach trying to tire out the competition for his players! Good job coach!!!

As an elementary PE teacher I'm always wondering how many of my own students it would take before they could beat me in tug of war

Pulling 8 of them is still kinda insane. Assuming their average weight is 80-90 lbs, that would be 650ish pounds against him (about double his bodyweight), but unlike still weight they actually move and create more friction

That is a good man, teaching what masculinity is and how to be humble and generous. Well done.

This is such a wholesome video. Thank you for putting a smile on my and these girls faces

They should make 4th graders tug of war part of Shaw Classics.

That was great! No ego on display. The girls will have loved it too. Well done Mitchell! 😊

seeing the fun and joy you brought to them makes me smile, big arms but even bigger heart. Loved this content. Hugs from Italy

This was so wholesome it gave goosebumps. This was such an awesome interaction between everybody, i loved it ❤

A gentle giant. Amazing content, putting huge smiles on those faces, memories they'll forever remember. Love it!

Their teamwork is hilarious, chipmunks sayin "Pull!" , "Pull!" Prolly my favorite video of yours so far. Very entertaining

0:25 bro is kidnapping a child☠

That was a lot of fun, probably the best strongman post I've seen. What a humble guy, willing to have a laugh at himself.

You know you made those girls whole week right??? when we were younger we all craved something different in those boring PE classes.... and you gave it to them! and they also won some icecreams!!!! you're the man....

Love this! Strong man cardio and putting smiles on faces, talk about a win win Mitch. #LHBK

It's not a matter of strength at that point, it's traction.

11:07 "You won 1" LOL big oof.

Some of those kids absolutely sent the tug of war with the superman technique, feet off the floor

What a fun idea! They'll remember this for years to come 😂

Mate watching you with these kids, you can tell you're going to be a fantastic dad to your child

That tug o' war was so fun! I would have loved that as a grade 4 kid. I was always among the smallest girls in class but loved gym class and running around playing games and sports. Great effort, girls!

That was hands down the most entertaining tug of war I've seen

This day will live with them, forever! You may have played a part in creating future athletes, be it the ones in the videos or others watching. Great video Mitch

Fun to watch! Great work, all involved

this is awesome! you had all of their complete attention the entire time it looked like they were having a blast

That dunk is insane for your size.

Well done Moose.....involving the community and motivating youth.....very admirable!

This was wonderful to watch. Such a positive impact on these kids.

Those low rest periods between tug of war sets definitely favored the kids

Awesome video Mitch! Getting kids involved in sports in a fun way is always so rewarding 👍

you're an angel man. Never let anyone take that from you.

It's been a while since I smiled this hard for several minutes! That was soooo wholesome! :")

I haven't smiled so much in front of a video for so long...just pure wholesomeness ... thank you for this moment

What a beautiful video. The innocence and joy in those girls' eyes tear me up. Well done Mitchel.

Awesome video idea man. God bless!

Props to those girls! My kid is that age and I feel like I've failed her in the sport department! They were super impressive! Teacher was a good sport too. What a great thing for you to do Mitch. Very encouraging to see.

Mitch is my favorite strongman. I have always been a big Brian Shaw fan, but Mitch is so relateable and likeable. He seems like he could just be friends with everyone.

This is the content we didn't know we needed. Terrific stuff here Mitch!

this was awesome, good stuff bro!

you're such a good representative for the sport! A naturally entertaining athlete. You're gonna be a huge star man! And the fact that you're Canadian is even better! represent bro!

Loved it. That was great Mitch. Everyone seemed to have a blast. Keep it up.

You are the kind of guy that the strength world needs Just know that you inspire a lot of people with your behavior

This is such wholesome fun. When I was their age I absolutely loved Worlds Strongest Man and looked forward to it every year. I’m sure they had a great time.

I feel like a fair bit of that strength was the traction of all the girls shoes on the ground along with all of their weight. I could be wrong though, I'm not a physicist

Mitch is a great example of positive influence!

He’s awesome. Honestly I think he loves when the girls win. Mitch seems so happy when he sees the smiles when the girls win. He’s the winner by making there day. Kudos!

That was so wholesome to watch. Thumbs up!

That’s was heartwarming and entertaining. Awesome work Mitch!

Dude. Dunking at that size is WILD.

My man out here answering the real questions in life 💯

Good fun ... more positive videos like this are needed in this day and age .

Mitch you absolute legend! Great to see such a deserving man holding the mantle of WSM! I'll be rooting for you next time!

Great video haha. Wholesome, great vibes AND good cardio. A win win 🎉

Not even into the strong man sport but this vid is so wholesome! Subbed! And that shooting stroke shooting that 3! ❤

Your best video yet, great mix of strength and entertainment! 💪 Crazy that you can dunk with that weight/height as well, did not expect that. Loved it!

This is so damn wholesome!

that's awesome mate, good times spent with the youngsters

I loved this so much ! My brother and my nephew ! way to go guys !

Love this video. Teaches the girls the importance of being physically active.

This reminds me of my PE teacher in elementary school, he got everyone interested in all kinds of stuff and he brought this kind of excitement every day. He got the biggest cheers at the awards ceremony and it’s because of stuff like this.

Wholesome content. Subscribed!

6:57 The power of the mob is mind-blowing, this is the world's strongest man...

I'm so surprised by how much force a bunch of small girls can put out! Wow :D

That was a miles of smiles video! Good job.

What a charming video! Those little girls were adorable, obviously happy and have a great time with you... and not at all intimidated!

0:40 Those girls did *not* hesitate to run to Mitch's side!! 🤣🤣🤣

Tug of war is mostly a game of grip. So you have a few options to make grip, stickier shoes, shoes that dig into the ground like cleats on grass, increasing the force pressing your foot too the ground (weight more), or pulll upward on the rope, pulling up wards does two things, one it uses a little bit if the opponents weight to help press you into the ground, and 2, that same amount it presses you into the ground extra, it lifts the other side giving them slightly less grip. As you can see their are "coordination" issues as well where people fall over sometimes, those are also times of lower grip cause rubber grips the floor better than clothing. There are some options where you can use temporary jerks of said rope to set them off balance but typically its a pretty gimmicky strat. I guess if you play on a magnetic floor with magnetic shoes this could be a different game entirely. But without "extra" grip typically you aren't at a point where core bracing,grip strength, rowing ability, and the like make a significant difference.

Excellent teamwork from those girls there. As soon as it starts in unison they say pull and they are working together the whole time! Very good exercise I hope they learned from this for the future.

This guy's awesome. Every video is so much fun

The dunk easily impressive. Really carrying the banner for WSM. Awesome

The World's Strongest Man dunking a basketball is insane

They're so fiercely competitive!!! and funny and joyful lol. Brings me back to many summers as a camp counselor/teacher

wholesome video man this made my day

Not only was that great fun to watch but I bet those kids remember that for the rest of their lives.

7:06 the girl wasn’t planking properly

I did not expect you to dunk with such ease. We're the same height and I'm 50kg lighter, but I could barely touch the rim. Absolutely nuts.

A humble, kind beast. You love to see it.

Awesome workout for you !! And Awesome to hang out with the kids ! This is what all kids need today ! Fun and enjoyment! Not technology.

Bro has mastered the art of pulling 4th grade girls

Greatest strongman this worlds ever had. Has tired almost everything, educates and trains and yet still goes to elementary schools to promote fitness and have fun. Keep bringing the positivity to this world Mitch 👍 We love you

This is brilliant, smiling from the very start

Great job man! Those kids will remember that experience for life 😊

6:46 what is the form

Is there anything this guy can't do? Truly an amazing athlete!
