Charles "Trey" Mitchell III (born July 16, 1993), nicknamed The Big Thicket, is a professional strongman from Lumberton, Texas. He is most notable for winning the Shaw Classic strongman championship two consecutive times in 2021 and 2022.[1][2]
Early Life
[edit]Mitchell was born on July 16, 1993, and started strength training for football at high school.[3] He then entered his first strength contest in Houston in 2012[3] and gradually excelled in the sport, winning America's Strongest Man in Long Beach, California in 2018.[3]
Career
[edit]Mitchell won the first two editions of the Shaw Classic (before it was rebranded as the Strongest Man on Earth) in 2021 and 2022, beating fields including several former World's Strongest Man winners and other top-level international competitors.[4] In 2022, he placed 2nd at the 2022 Rogue Invitational.
He placed fourth in the 2023 events in both the Arnold Strongman Classic and World's Strongest Man.[5][6] He also won the 2023 North America's Strongest Man competition.[7]
At the 2024 Giants Live World Deadlift Championships, Mitchell completed a 470 kg (1,036 lb) deadlift. Although the competition allowed for the use of a suit, Mitchell competed raw with only straps and a belt. It broke the world record for the heaviest raw deadlift on a deadlift bar in strongman history and also became the new American deadlift record irrespective of the use of a suit.
