The 2023 NASM was Mitchell’s debut at the competition. In 2014, when the NASM was last held, four-time WSM champion (2011, 2013, 2015-2016) Brian Shaw claimed victory. It might be fitting that Mitchell spent his thirtieth birthday, which fell on the ultimate day of the competition, earning such prestigious status.

Mitchell’s name and status have grown plenty beyond his status as a two-time defending SC champion. Nonetheless, if he can stack a three-peat and, with it, earn a recent title of “The Strongest Man on Earth” on top of some recent performances, his billing as a superstar might be undebatable.
