World’s Strongest Man Vs 660lb Pig | Matt Fraser Was Shocked 

The pig clip hits so well because of how effortless and almost nonchalantly you flip it, combined with the stronger than average Joe's response to it. Honestly, that yoke run in this video has very similar potential

Their faces when you ran with that yolk, we're priceless 😂

Random fact for the algorithm: The pig, often called swine, hog, or domestic pig when distinguishing from other members of the genus Sus, is an omnivorous, domesticated, even-toed, hoofed mammal. It is variously considered a subspecies of Sus scrofa or a distinct species.

Saw the title before the thumbnail loaded, got my hopes up you were going to fight a 660 lb actual pig.

The 45s on the log and them working through it, Mitch picks it up like it still doesn't have weight on it and just casually demos form.

Already stated but the fact of how effortless you make it look and the reactions of people there are classic 😅. Love your content brother, keep it coming I think I’ve learned more in past 6 months than the previous 3 years

"Kat's never touched a log before in her life."

I love that WSM is also world's strongest crossfitter. I think the clip blew up because you have the crossfit goat being amazed and he doesn't get stunned like that often. seeing a decently heavy weight and seeing the fittest people on earth be stunned at how easily you move it generates that kind of reaction in others. just like the yoke run with 120kg in this video lmao

A whole lot of athletic skill being display here. Impressive work by everyone.

Your kicking out some unique and valuable video's sir. I am 60 and getting back into lifting again after a few years off. I do mountain bike in the Arizona Desert about 2 hrs daily. Feels good to be lifting again in addition to the mountain biking. I am assuming your general advice applies to nay age including 60 and up. Have a good one and keep the great content coming.. On my way now to pick up some creatin.. :)

“They’re not booing, they’re saying ‘MOOOOOOSE’”

So cool to see you test different movements having your athleticism and knowledge!

The man who loves taking challenges. You're a freak of nature 🙏

If anyone knows the story about the pig and Matt, watching you throw it around no issue and his response is priceless.

Another great video. Keep em coming

great content big man. love every video

You the man. Keep doing what you're doing

I love watching a strong man do this sort of training for an endurance base with strength elements. I think it is an evolutionary path.

Awesome video, the Metcon looked hard but fun !

Great news! I can’t wait to see you compete in strongman again.

. Excited to hear you speak at CSEP 2023 next month!

I think people actually expect you to be flipping a pig….like tipping a cow? Then they see what is actually going on. Impressive as always. 💪

I think the surprise in really strong people watching an even stronger person do a feat of strength is just interesting to people. Especially when you're doing something popular with crossover appeal like crossfit or BJJ.

1:30 Eric Bugenhagen knew it all along!

i just saw you in the commercial right before the video

Pig flip clip gets attention I think for two things. 1) People like reaction videos to things they like which is a whole genre of youtube video. This is sort of what that clip hits with the reaction of others to you. 2) People like affirmation from others that something they like is cool, especially if it's maybe a bit niche. Strongman is a bit niche and here you have two top crossfiters basically agreeing that this thing is cool.

Strong man vs CrossFit all the time good to see

Strongman fans love to see crossfit type guys outshone and awestruck at Strongman strength. That's why the pig flip video and it's ilk is so popular.

When was this filmed? Pre Shaw Classic?

I am insanely impressed by that woman's log lift

Never knew you move your hand position in the log press, is this for sure?

Nice colab

Was this filmed before the games?

Mitch, the popularity of the pig flip clip stems from awe - people, who have tried tire flip or pig flip know, how hard that exercise is.... and you make it look easy. Try doing 8 - 10 flips in a row and you have heavy cardio. 👍👍👍

Pig flip did so well because of the effortless way you lift and push - almost like you're just fluffing the blankets on your bed, but with over 600lb blankets.

Imagine being qualified to give tips to the biggest crossfit champion. Legend.

It would be cool to see a strongman-level Pig at the Rogue Invitational.

I want to see a crossfit/strongman team comp.

Everyone who does crossfit watches Mat Fraser and the rest of the elites do amazing feats of strength and workout with weights we can't deadlift. It's entertaining to see them amazed by a specialist like Klokov doing thrusters at 200KG or Brian Shaw breaking rowing records or You flipping the 660lb pig, which is a considerably roadblock for them in competition.

I think the pig flip from you is so popular because elite cross fitters struggle slightly to get themselves to lift off the ground and even more when they get it half way. Whereas you have just flipped it: 1)without even having to dip to catch it and use your legs 2)with such speed 3)without even breaking a sweat 😅

People don’t realize how awkward a heavy yoke carry can be. You make it look easy.

. Could you release an instructional video for newbies about your 12 week strength program?

"Hell yeah" Kite Man

period man, period.

"It's a MINDSET!"

I was always curious how a Strongman would do on the Pig. Also seeing a Mitch do a Metcon is also impressive. I feel like most Strongmen would not be able to do a Metcon

Boosting for the algorithm. Moooooose!

That was brutal in a good way :D

Lots of people very disappointed after clicking to find no wrestling of actual pigs occurred 🤣

Top athlete

You're so strong you skipped a whole step in that pig flip 🙃

Bro, you tossed 660 lbs like it was a book bag.

Moose dropping 🫎 ......

Awesome

One thing/exercise, I do not understand why they do in CF - the hand walk. Never will you ever end up in a real life situation, where being able to walk on your hands will save your life. The muscles involved are not supposed to work like that that, and it cannot be good for your wrists. I think, that us showmanship. In strongman, I miss seeing tire flip. I understand, it is to avoid bicepd injuries, which is important. I have seen biceps tears happen in flips, and always with the athlete using a narrow grip. I just happen to have done hundreds of relatively heavy tire flips in my younger days, and by utilizing a broad grip ie. the right technique, you can avoid those tears. The tire flip performed as an "uphill" push and not as a curl and a push does not strain the biceps as much .... so if you teach the strongmen appropriate technique, that event could be in the large competitions again. I would LOVE to see that. 👍👍👍

Hog vs Moose

Close your eyes and listen to his voice... sounds exactly like Ben Affleck!

was hoping for an actual pig lol

LHBK!

This channel is awesome man, I learn so much. Like you’re obviously super strong but the amazing thing is you’re wiping the floor with guys 100lbs bigger than you using science and then sharing that science with us

Period

Love how on the log, they don't even figure out the technique fully, and immediately add more weight on just for the sake of it. Classic Crossfitters.

because the word pig

It is fucking crazy how tiny you are! Smart strength! WSM 2, 3, 4 ...

I think people without experience doing something like the pig or a tire flip don’t understand the weight, so they see 660lbs and assume you’re throwing that whole weight in the air. Still an impressive feat, but it’s not 660lbs in-hand

I'd guess the mustache has something to do with the popularity

Most likely the title: man vs pig lol, cool training though, think you’ll be good for rogue

Make progress with HWPO

Wish it were an real pige i wanna meet PIGE!!!!

he turned british for a second there 😂😂 " when it gets heavy" 4:00

I clicked on this to see an actual huge pig. Was disappointed. 2 Stars

Mitch has done the impossible and opened strongmen minds up to crossfit 💪🏼😂

..LHBK

🫎 vs. 🐷

Mitch's head is too big for backward rolls :)

People think there's going to be a real pig. But there is only moose. "Moose vs Pig" for even more views.

....

Katrine is a slow learner

💪💪💪💪💪

Algorithm!

..................................

Intuition about why 8m views? I mean, you have a former world champion think this guy can't be real after seeing you flip that thing like a yoga mat lol

Because you're pulling in the crossfit community

9:44 who is dat little guy with the beard? He the janitor?
