I love that James actually trains with these pieces of iron history. Brian Shaw recently did a tour of this dude that has an incredible collection of antique plates, bars, blobs and all manner of weird stuff, but it was all setup like a museum. I'm not one for frufru thinking that "things have souls" or whatever, but just like an old racecar deserves to be driven, old weights deserve to be lifted.

This guy has a crazy high wisdom score. Presence of mind or the mind muscle connection is a wonderous thing, I find accidents and injuries occur when the mind connection becomes overly weak, or programmed negatively through fear. It is dangerous to become satisfied with one's movement, complacent, no longer attempting to improve it, the mind begins to drift away from the movement and soon you'll hit your finger with a hammer. Where your mind is the energy goes, then the blood, then healing and growth. If you hurt your knee or ankle and you spend then next few weeks trying not to think about the pain and avoiding using the part, you are weakening your own mental connection the part. Even if the knee is hurt so bad you can barley tense it let alone move it, it is still better to tense it occasionally and focus on appreciating the pain. Pain is a signal to tell you where the mind needs to be, not something to keep out of your mind.

You just brought this guy to the world's attention. I think his popularity is going to soar.

So this week I had a great workout, felt awesome during and afterwards. I failed a deadlift PR trying to go from 315 to 325lbs single rep. Its not a lot for my body weight compared to others but for me its a lot. I went from empty bar to doing this and I'm proud of it. Even in my failure I'm progressing without injuring myself. Weight lifting has been so great for my back as a software developer. Juji I love your channel and this interview was a great watch!

Check out the TIMECODES in the Description too if you're short on time! Btw, almost all our videos have timecodes if you didn't know. Because Sam cares. 😊😊

12:14 on stubbornness. This ALWAYS bothered me when I got into personal training coming from a farming upbringing. On the farm you don't get to stop until the work is done, and if you weren't able to finish it today because the sun went down well good, it's right there waiting for you tomorrow, and you best get after it because the longer you wait the harder it will be. I'm strong despite my leanness because I push myself to the absolute limit of strength as much as possible (within reason OBVIOUSLY, if your really sore and beat down, don't go as hard), eat healthy and rest well. You don't get farm strength without doing farm work and this dude is a prime example of that

James is legit. Been watching him for a few years and I’m super excited to see this collab!

I'm loving every last video with James

I dig how much respect this guy is giving Mr. Fuller. Guy could eat Texas tacks and spit 1 penny nails but it’s his maturity that is really impressive.

Probably one of the best discussions I’ve heard on KZread in years - you guys have great chemistry

James is a legend, and had helped me immensely with movements i thought looked mental, but fixed decades old injuries, and got me lifting heavier in my 40's

James Fuller is a treasure. Protect James at all costs

Anyone else see those globe circus db bells and just immediately get excited

I love that Juji can "talk shop" with anyone! These are some of my favorite videos!

He is the jedi master of training. What an amazing person.

@16:04 Wow.. I totally get the philosophy of "why move onto the *next* thing if I feel like I haven't mastered the first thing".. But I will say that sometimes moving on to the next thing is the best option. You can always revisit the first thing, and sometimes coming back to it with the benefit of some time away from it and also maybe a new skillset will suddenly make it click. Such an interesting, beautiful conversation you guys had. Would have loved to been a fly on the wall for your entire visit man, this is seriously fantastic. I watch / like all your content but I rarely comment. Thank you so much for this man.

This entire video is the inspiration I needed and final push to start exercising properly. I'm in my 20s and constantly in so much pain because I'm not cognizant of how I lift things and how sedentary I am outside of my manual labor job. I owe it not to myself, but my body. It's done everything for the both of us and it's the least I can do to pay it back. Even if I don't love myself all the time I'm making a point of *always* loving my body.

I gotta see what the outdoor gym looks like in the middle of the winter in Maine, Juji's gotta come back and visit in February!

Some of the best lifting content I’ve seen is the new juji videos keep it coming

I love all your stuff Juji but I especially liked this podcast and gym tour

As a young dude. Doing stucco plaster. Scaffolding sections and 90lb bags of Portland cement. Carrying wet cement up ladders all day, Mon -fri worked fabulous.

Great podcast! I never touched a weight until I was 36 or really played sports. Between 38-44 I ran 10 ultra marathons and became one of the top105kg masters strongmen in the country holding deadlift records and standing on the podium with pros! Even got a pic with you Juji when I came in 3 at the nationals at the Olympia in 2022 out in Vegas!

feels like an old ancient juji film. Thank you

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire interview. THANK YOU 🙏

Thank you for preserving history. You're on a real anime style adventure.

Thank you. This helped me get excited about lifting heavy again. Im not that strong anymore after some injuries. But I love the odd lifts. I cut up some logs to make some "stones" for me and the wife to train with and different disks for grip training.

For my time, these James Fuller installments have been the most enjoyable uploads, full stop! Unfortunately, I think this is the end...

WDYM? Fuller will still be around.

Juji needs to move to Maine and collab full-time with James. Bring back old school lifts and make them mainstream again.

Love to hear guys like this talk. Amazing amount of knowledge and wisdom. Respect

"Sorry edd, I didn't realize you were that strong" killed me

Started doing strongman lifts a couple years ago, it's funny how the concepts are similar to strength training for tai chi or even yoga. The training isn't the same, but the main unspoken goal seems to be conditioning the full spinel chain and the hand/foot grip. There is a lot of twisting and bending the spine and functioning in low stances like the horse stance or deep squat.

I love these podcasts, so good! The Pat McNamara one was fire as well!

I think this is one of the best talks I've listened too! SO informative in every "section" and info I know I'll take forward. Thank you both so much!

This interview changed trajectory of my fitness path..Thanks❤

Loved every second of this chat! Rather inspirational to just keep going and keep trying things.

Thank you for making a long video with this guy

Ageing... yes I agree, you've got to keep moving. But as someone who started skating again after a 20 year break I can tell you, a lot of aging is life style and mind set, but recovery/adaptation? You've got to respect that. You WILL adapt, I can now skate 3 or 4 long sessions in a row and not have my ankles swell up but it took MONTHS to get there were as as a teen it would have been weeks, if not days. You've got to respect the recovery. Especially if you have to work jobs and stuff. Aside from that, get after it!

I really enjoyed this video as well as the tour of this guys gym, new subscriber here, is there a way we could see, hear and know more about this man?? I just ordered the books he mentioned during his gym tour off of Amazon and can’t wait to read them.

Hairline slowly coming in. Nice

He is a wealth of knowledge, really enjoyed this

I used to do certain exercises every day. But once I got to a certain level it was impossible to go full effort with high frequency. Now I do each lift once every 3 weeks

A while back I had hurt my back squatting. Incorporating cross legged side bends from James' IG 100% helped. I love that move.

wow...this dude is Gem, why haven't we heard of him?

The timeliness of these videos in my life can't be understated. Thank you, sirs

I wish more people were like James for everybodys sake. Fantastic man and a fantastic video!

I remember starting over again after my injury 2 1/2 years ago- I've never turned my back on the iron- and the iron has been my therapy for 35 years now!

"Practice makes permanent" so it's important that practice focus on doing what you are trying to achieve, not just empty repetition.

This is so good. Time to lift!

I’ve know about James for years and this awesome for him. I have no idea how he hasn’t blown up yet he’s like the loui Simmons of old time lifting. Thank you gentleman

one of the best interviews i've ever watched, so much wisdom

Bugez needs to go there and film him attempting EVERY implement!

I really enjoyed that interview, thank you

I guess growing up in North hyde park Vermont doing "chores" made the foundation ive enjoyed ...now at 50 i see the reults

I love this guy. I'll watch any video you'll do with him with such enjoyment.

This is awesome. James is a cool dude

This discussion was great!

Great interview!!

I feel that these old timey strongmen lifts and training are slept on ways of getting surprisingly strong. Like with the big 3, the great benefit is that for the most part getting strong at them results in you looking like you're strong with them. These lifts are the gym equivalent of the 70 year old rural farmer that can spend a day building a dry stone wall and moving 100+lb rocks and be right as rain to do it the next day. Its like everyone was functionally stronger (I hate myself for using that term) and most people had limited time to lift so they came up with ways of demonstrating the strength they already had.

Hairline looking clean Juji

Wonderful video.

You should check back in with James Fuller sometime in the future - very much enjoyed your chat together.

This is my first time checking out this channel in a few years, and I'm shocked to see how Juji managed to improve his physique even further! He looks like a different person!

"Just come back and do it again" Yeah right, most stuff I do is not possible two days in a row... "I mean, if its a PR squat, then come on... lets be real!... But if its some technique thing..." 💪😉 Guy read my mind, heheh. Thumbs up just for that!

Very interesting, Juji looks strong, good times.

The best thing is " You don't know your potential yet" unless you put in the work for atleast 10 years. You don't know you gonna be the world champion

This was awesome

Incredible treasure 🎉and would’ve loved to see a police report for 125 lb anvil theft.

The children's book, The Phantom Tollbooth, has a line "Yes, indeed,” they repeated together, “but if we'd told you then, you might not have gone … and, as you've discovered, so many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.”

This was beautiful.

Juji you need to bring the Buges back on. Rick de la STICK is feeling frisky... and the fans are too

More James Fuller! I miss Motivation and Muscle in large part due to lack or regular dose of James.

This man is just plain amazing.

I really want to see Juji practice this lift some more i bet he could get some big weights lifted.

I feel like there's almost a market for oldschool globe style barbells for home gym lifters obsessed with progressive overload. Not a big market, mind, but surely someone is interested! The fact that they can be incrementally loaded in so small of an increment with shot. Imagine a modern one, maybe a bit more user friendly, where the device is calibrated. You buy the barbell with the big hollow globes, and the manufacturer sells like 50 or 100 gram packs of calibrated shot, so that everytime you repeat a workout you have a good chance of hitting a weight PR with the same reps. Heck, in this modern era, partner with a meal company and have a bunch of steaks and shot packs each week in a subscription model - Gains Box. I think that model would do well enough for long enough to get investment funding and split.

13:36 exactly 🙌 People find it when they’re ready 👍

Thanks

Brilliant

Wow I sold my deep dish York plate for way too little 😭 A car? Fml

👍 Excellent interview, thank you... now I want to buy old robust equipment instead of this modern hi-tech stuff!

$5,000 in 1905 is worth $177,461.36 today These guys were on like 8mil a year! And thats before you count the beer allowance 🤯

Have you told Martins about this man?

The Not a Podcast podcast is one of the best lifting Podcasts there is XD

Had an old flat steel 6" x14" ammo box with a handle square in the middle, filled with nuts n' bolts and lead. That box earned it's name, "PAIN".

" strength takes time"

Juji you gotta bring Brian Shaw over there with you for a video, he’ll be like a kid in a candy store!

Legends ❤

Squats felt great starting out. Still does. For me.

Neck bridges! Wooo

It's true, it was different back then & no you don't need the newest fanciest thing. Our ancestors in places like Scotland would use heavy rocks, logs etc. No excuse not to train.

you need to check out madhouse gym in mableton georgia , it would blow your mind!

Neat guy.

Great old fashioned equipment. Will out last everything.

Great interview. I wonder if Juji told him that Rich was dead?

Ice baths are good for athletes, when they are in season. During off season, ice baths can thwart muscle protein synthesis, if done after a workout, so do it later.

Juji I think your friend here has a lot of Neandetheral DNA to make him so durable, and to have had his father recover so well from surgery.

Just as a sidenote finding that one sport can give you an unbelivable boost in self confidence. It also may lead to gear aquisition syndrome xD

I want to see this man in an arm wrestling comp with dev larratt

We do need to get back to the old strong man lifts.

Juji, when you collabing with Anatoly!?
