Jujimufu... after all these years still a class act taking time to comment on smaller channels and acknowledge good content and advice.

Thanks for teaching me how to backflip like 10+ years ago man. I’m saved in many phones as “backflip guy”. That’s all you man. Thanks.

Juji you should visit Sikastan some day and train over there :D

Jon you're a gentleman for taking the time to comment! Best of luck with your bodybuilding show and we'll definitely come visit if we make it stateside 😁

Been following you for years jon , Will we ever see you clean 400lbs ??? Clarance reckons you have it in you !! 💪🏻💪🏻

Must give it a listen actually

@@sikastrength right on, would you guys ever consider reaching out for a discussion with strength guys like Dave Tate or Jim Wendler?

@@sikastrength Dave Tate did an analysis of Juji's deadlift and did a small training with some suggestions and exercise selection in a separate video. Really worth watching if you have the time.

Will you name your first born son in their honour?

Now you have 4! I just subscribed

We do love it! LISTEN TO US 🤣

Surely you mean SARMS to your ears

You got your wish.

No Sainsbury's here unfortunately. Will check Belfast tomorrow.

Happy Juji is the best Juji

I did, his sense of humour and skill at creating videos is what popularised Juji. All of the most popular videos on that channel are down to Tom's planning and execution, most vids before he came along have like 50k views max. He was also good at playing the 'normal guy' in comparison to Juji, but still had a good amount of strength and athletic ability so he wasn't totally uninteresting to watch by comparison, and his transformation over the years was nice to see. Juji's videos lately lack direction and polish, they aren't as entertaining, and the views reflect that. Almost every video pre-split performed in views at or WAY above what any successful channel should be doing, ie at least 10% of subscribers as views, and indicative of strong growth. Lately, they've either been barely scraping that level, or significantly below - half the vids have half the views they should. That's purely down to Tom not running things. Sadly with Tom's mistakes and personal issues, it had to come to an end, and Juji and co seem a lot healthier for it, even though the channel isn't. I hope the current people Juji's working with can learn the ropes up to Tom's level, but I suspect the days of regular 5 million view videos are long gone with Tom.

@@AfferbeckBeats The channel hadn't been around for as long before Tom joined. Of course he didn't get as many views then. Each video is less focused on views and encompasses a smaller short set of events, meaning some people will skip them sometimes. That's okay. Tom has a toxic personality and an acidic set of insecurities that rub off on people. He can be a crybully and an addict (to anything he comes across in theory) and his hipster hippie stuff is very offputting to me and many others. Good riddance.

I liked Tom, they had a good chemistry, sadly Tom let his personal issues take control and negatively affect things, he needs help and support. I think there was a lot of good things going on, but what do I know, who knows, we werent there

Basically. You don't hit 600 lb deadlifts without mastering the form. From 600 to 700 is just programming. I'm currently omw to a 700 lb Deadlift. Hit a 605 pr early January of 2021 and just hit a 615 on 3 plates last week. It's programming.

Simply squat more

You need to weigh 400 pounds, eat more

What I’ve gathered is you would generally want to avoid rolling the bar for deadlifts. You typically see those larger guys rolling the bar since their size makes it hard to setup into an ideal position from a static start. For more regular sized people rolling the bar is more of a waste of energy and also makes it tougher to have consistent reps because of the dynamic start.

@@OppaHappySyle I'm talking for a 1RM attempt, so ofc if you're looking to do reps this won't be ideal. I'm 6'5" so maybe it fits for me with my setup. I feel as though it helps me take the slack out of my lats which is tough for me to do if everything is still at the start? Not sure.

@@thehboppa If you look closely when thor deadlifts, he only rolls the bar in once even when he goes for reps. IMO if you feel as tho it helps you out then by all means you can keep doing it. However, it is still requires energy to roll the bar towards you and that means less energy left for you do perform the lift. In an ideal world you'd want to phase the roll out of your lift bc of the extra energy spent and the potential for inconsistent reps like I mentioned before.These strongmen have probably lifted longer than both you and I and thus have the experience to use the roll for every set.

@@OppaHappySyle realistically it takes almost no energy to start the bar rolling, like absolutely nothing. especially when compared to other deadlift routines where people will aggressively jerk the bar before the rep. I appreciate you commenting on this btw. I'm not really convinced energy conservation on a set of 1 is much of a reason not to do this, but it certainly doesn't feel as though there's any biomechanical disadvantages to do this, for me at least. I'll keep mucking around with it and see if it continues to help, cheers!

@@thehboppa no worries man I appreciate some good discussion! The energy conservation thing was an argument I heard from a video I watched a while back that addressed your very question. Unfortunately I can’t seem to remember who made the video. Anyways, good luck with your lifts!

He is already juicing.
