I created a regenerating character. He can go days without sleep, but that's because his body isn't... Like yours. It learns. If you were a regenerator your body wouldn't really be stronger or better... It would be smarter. It would be smart enough to know what to do, whereas normally your body doesn't know all the things your mind does. This isn't the case for this character, his cells know what to do and if they don't they can learn. An organism that does the strongest thing, adapt, and at the smallest level too. A hard to destroy creature for sure
That is a tough question, Hhhhmmmmmm........? The ever growing potential of a Saiayn or the ridiculous longevity of the Viltrumite. I think I would go Vil.
I started training in my late 20's and more than seven years later I feel and look better than I have ever looked back then. I have found that the "I am getting old" mindset is the real killer.

I recently thought up a philosophy, “Strengthen the body, sharpen the mind, calm the heart, nurture the soul.” Much of what you listed in this video was pretty much a lot of what I’ve incorporated into my routine. I’m turning 30 this year, and I was a little worried about what might happen to me going forward. But seeing that I’m doing the right things, I’m reassured!
Well Bro, I’m 40 and I feel great, matter of fact I feel better than I was when we was 24 years old. But it’s all in the food and not doing to much or too less of training too in all methods of the body and keep that balance of sleep very well and keep your training neutral until you get strong then go more intense and heavy.
As an older guy in his 40s I've learned that by not training to failure, avoiding processed food, avoiding excess use of social media, avoiding toxic people, and mediation are keys to a longer life too. UFC trainer Firas Zahabi uses this same principle on training as well.
@@junichiroyamashita It can, but like most things, there's ways to do it right, and ways to do it wrong. I've read some debate on it. There's a lot of people who get ripped physiques without going to failure. I lift with some. I only go to failure on occasion, mostly because I've had injuries I don't want to return. I'm no expert so it might not hurt to google it some more.
Sleep was the #1 thing that’s been getting me healthy. I’ve been trying to train and diet for years and they always fell apart. This year New Years resolution was minimum 8h a night with strict bedtimes. And immediately my diet improved and I started wanting to workout. Sleep is king 🤴

Bruh I'm 33 Things get easier in regards to fitness, only because the doing the amount you need to do (i.e. minimum effort/maximum results) is much less than what people think you need. I go, at most, 2 days a week in gym (strength or power) with 1 or 2 sessions of cardio reaching for 30 mins top.

As I'm starting to get older, the main thing I've noticed is my slowed recovery rate from physical injury. I got a cut on my foot a week ago; not a big deal, it was pretty small, not the kind of thing that needs stitches or whatnot. But I took off my sock and was looking at it last night and just kinda went, "Huh.... that has.... barely even closed up...." Whereas, as a younger man, I would probably be all fixed by now.
Okay. 38, here. Injured my back over a week ago deadlifting. I skipped the gym the whole week while doing an active recovery with bodyweight exercises and some running. I'm feeling a lot better now. I was planning on returning this week, but this video convinced me to wait at least another one as I'm not right there yet (still hurts when standing from a sitting position)
That bit about ego is so true. I got shin splints in January 2023 and didn't realize I was injured until March. I assumed the pain was ordinary as someone returning to training legs and tried to just push through it. Ended up stretching the recovery window from 3 months to 6 months.
I turned 25 recently, and even though I worked out here and there, I never was super serious about it. I decided that I wanted to better myself with training and diet and self care, and now just a few months later I honestly am starting to feel better. I even got my 50+ dad in to working out again consistently and we work out together, and we're bonding over it even! I'm hoping that soon I be able to take on one of your Tuff Like The Toons videos all the way through without cheating on the number sets, and get into the best shape I've ever been in. Thank you for inspiring me, because your dedication and helpful videos and clear excitement over staying in shape has been a real inspiration for me 💪
As a man who will be turning 25 for the 14th year in a row who frequents trampoline parks, does adult gymnastics 2x a week, and found my true fitness passion in Flying Trapeze 4 years ago, the last part of the video is 100% important to keep in mind. Vegemite for the end of the video tax.
Vegemite! Btw, thanks for cheering us up Jax, your videos are awesome and they have helped me to be more fit and in condition. So thank you so much dude.
Dude- I just saw your advertisement for the first time on this video and was so confused. XD I thought it was part of the actual video and it was just a meta joke but it's a legit ad of you on your video. Enjoy your Vegemite.
I’m older than most people think (let’s see if you can guess my age…? 😉), but I’ve found that a healthy lifestyle & doing everything in balance is the key to looking & feeling younger than you are. That includes realizing you don’t have to be Superman in all your training sessions (Periodized training becomes more important as you get older), getting enough sleep, not neglecting to do mobility & warmup work, not abusing any drugs, getting proper recovery time, & eating a healthy balanced diet that properly fuels your body to achieve your goals. And last but not least, living your life in a way that leaves you happy & proud of yourself goes a LONG way in keeping you motivated to get up every day to keep doing everything mentioned above consistently.
So what is periodized training simply put (tried googling but i just got more lost)? My goal is to be a fitness jack of all trades. I want to have: - high endurance and stamina - functional strength to carry my entire body, heavy people, and heavy things - flexibility and control over my body like Elastigirl or Inosuke - agility and reflexes - bones, tendons, and muscles that don't get injured or strained easily - enough muscle that it can be seen through long sleeve shirts and enough that I don't need to flex for it be felt - whatever fitness and athletic abilities that prepare ppl for certain situations (life being in danger, running during chase moments, bedroom stuff, etc.) Appearance-wise, think: Tanjirou, Mikasa or Levi, Avatar Korra, Vi from Arcane, or a combat sports athlete. Lean with lots of athletic abilities and enough muscle even when clothed. Would periodized training get in the way of some of my goals or reduce athletic capabilities? Bc I've heard stories of body builders that look and are strong but their stamina is terrible and I don't want any problems like that.
Jax I will be 24 this year. I'm obviously not that old but I haven't active since I was 21 when covid hit. Last night I pulled a muscle I didn't know I had LAYING DOWN and I decided that I didn't like that shit. With me gaining a little weight and you uploading this video imma try to get my shit together. Imma try that metronome shit you was talking about and with you uploading this video I really need to get off my ass. All that to say. Thanks for being an inspiration
That last point is so bloody true. I see the question "am I too old to start martial arts" all the time. You're never too old, get in there and get training if that's what YOU want.
Late comment. My dad had a stroke days ago. He also contracted covid. He developed type 2 diabetes when I was younger and high blood pressure. We have really fast metabolisms and he didn't externally appear like he would have had these issues. I've always been big on health and exercise (I'm an elementary P.E. teacher), but I can honestly say a little part of me needed this. Thanks Jax. You're videos always have a way of picking me up.
Thx Jaxblade for the stretch advice man, I been on a 30 day mobility training and so far I’m 3 days in. My goal is to do the splits in less than 30-days.
"vegemite" just turned 18 and i have a unbalanced diet and dont drink alot, gonna try doing all this for 2 weeks im gonna start doing this for the next two weeks andcome back with the effects, either way, awesome vid my guy
I'm 36 and I hope my best-looking years are still ahead of me. Finally getting proper exercise equipment at home soon, once one of the rooms in my flat becomes free in about a month or so. I've even had a perfectly good punching bag for several years now, but haven't been able to install it ever since I moved two plus years ago - I'm looking forward to using it again. Also, 'VEGEMITE'.
Don't let time past you by so easily. Have focus and awareness of it. Then play with the idea of time and the construct will become a armor for your mind. Don't worry about how old you are. Forget it. Nothing happens after 21 anyways. Don't think about how much time you've wasted doing what you didn't want to do. Enjoy every breath. Find something to be happy about even when it becomes a challenge. Exercise your mind and your body. And you'll be strong for a long time.
I do cardio more than any other type of physical training, that combined with lots of water, no alcohol and no drugs and moderate weight training, I still look 15 when I'm about to be 24. Recently starting training boxing as a form of skill training and having so much fun learning moves and leg work drills. I got into training watching Vegeta obsess over becoming a Super Saiyan as Lil kid
Vegemite. I have done fitness on and off. I now work at a warehouse for now. Exercise, Dieting, and Sleep make life easier. Also, it does give a mental boost. Exercise doesn't make you smarter. It does teach discipline. It gives a huge boost so you have the energy to learn. I just do mostly Kettle Bell Swings. I do deadlift squats. Just walking, in general, is good for overall health.
Thank you for making ALL of your content. You preach physical and mental health from a place of empathy and you help keep me mindful of my body and mind.
i love this guy. relating everything to anime is awesome. and its great mentioning injuries i still deal with a few from a long time ago but they are way better than theyve ever been due to being smart (making sure joints get blood flow. Tore cartilage and labrum in left shoulder and same in right)
I know he only briefly mentioned this, but to add a bit more clarity on the collagen he mentioned, collagen is something the body makes with dietary protein (this is why bone broth is so good for your body to get large amounts of collagen). when referring to supplements for people who have a vegetarian or vegan diet you need to get protein supplements not the supplements that have straight collagen in them, this is because the human body will NOT ACCEPT outside collagen and will only use the collagen that the body creates on its own. Personally I believe that for vegetarian and vegan diets if you're wanting more collagen then it's best to eat foods with high dietary protein (this would be your soybeans, red beans, and black beans, as well as peanuts, walnuts, or cashews, and any other non - animal bi product food that has high amounts of dietary protein in it.
Thank you for addressing us, the older wolves of well being! One of my favorite books on this subject is "The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer"" by Stephen Kotler. I haven't finished the book yet, as each section of each chapter has absolutely blown my mind and changed my perspective on both my training and my life. It is a manual for elevating your performance to the next level. Highly recommended. VEGEMITE!
A great video as I move into my 30s with a decision to make this my strongest decade especially with my physical disciplines of martial arts and breaking. Always dope watching your stuff, Vegemite
Vegemite lol A bit of a paradox I've run across, you mention a job where you're active is good for you. I agree, to an extent. I'm working an active job right now and I definitely feel better generally. However, it becomes a problem when you get injured. Most jobs aren't going to let you take time to recover. I've had some close calls with that, so far I've only gotten mildly injured and always close to the weekend lol. But I'm not sure the benefits of a job like that outweigh the risks.
VEGEMITE My goals are: (a) general fitness to avoid injury and illness and to promote longevity and rejuvenation as well as have full functionality of my body, (b) enjoy the physical sensations and endorphin rush from exercising and performing things like dance well, (c) improve my mental health, (d) get a femboy physique, with a 0.8 waist to hip ratio and so on...
I used to work out every day (different exercise each day) from late 2018 to early 2020 since I used to work the morning shift at my retail job, but then I switched over to the late afternoon shift and not only did I stop doing my workouts, but unfortunately the constant lifting at my retail store strained my body. I'm hopefully going back to an earlier time shift and from there I'll be getting back to my exercises slowly.
You know it's funny before i watched this video. I was writing out goals for the year that I wanted to do or accomplish. And meditation was definitely on there, but I completely forgot about yoga. Lol, thanks for the reminder. I can't wait to apply this new information into my life and help me come closer to my fitness goals. Vegemite
Yeah I do moderate workouts when I do but rest most of the time. I've noticed I've gotten more out of my muscles than people who overwork themselves. I've also been unemployed most of my adult life, aside from 2 years at Walmart & a year at goodwill. One of the reasons I'm 28 but could pass for 18.
am 44 here, right now I'm just wanting to get myself back to where I was pre-rona, and from there completing a marathon is on the long term with just weight loss to make the joints less stressed for the near term.
I have mentioned to other people in a Cosplay and Fitness group in Facebook, that I should probably switch up to calisthenics after a year of weightlifting. Partially because even if you're moving more weight, being able to do 100+ pushus before needing to rest and do even more is far more impressive. Vegemite Also doing water fasting is a lot easier in the summer for me. Probably because it's just too hit to eat lol. I'm only 34 and noticed the left side of my beard is trying to go white. My mind is still telling me I'm in my 20s. My knee and back tell me otherwise.
@@fitnesse1288 as long as I can be mindful about keeping my front delts out of the way. one of my issues back when I did 300 regular pushups per day, I think after a while I just started thinking 'I gotta get this over with.' and didn't notice my delts were way too dominate. I've been doing pullups and lat pulldowns with no chest workouts for the passed year and haven't really fixed my posture.
Now I'm imagining some ad executive in Australia is going to try to find a way to do an anime tie-in with Vegemite. As for how my fitness journey has changed over the years, a lot if it has been unlearning a lot of the toxic mentality that gets super-imposed on fitness, martial arts especially. Back in college, I would put in 9 hours of exercise a week, between two martial arts classes and doing regular sessions at the on-campus gym. However, I was eating like crap, whole pizzas on the regular, drinking more soda than water, lots of junk food, etc. Combine that with a mentality drilled into me by a particularly toxic TKD school that pretty much demanded abject loyalty, and expected students to go above and beyond, or they "weren't truly dedicated." This led to a lot of moments where I would push myself in my exercises, even while injured, making things worse. It wasn't until a few years after I graduated college and left the TKD school and worked on my traumas that I was able to rediscover my love of the martial arts and exercising in general, as well as learning proper form and proper nutrition. It helps that I was also able to find less toxic martial arts instructors that respected the fact that students had lives outside of the training hall.
I'm slowly beginning to understand that mobility is a very key thing that I need in my life I just don't know where to start and how to implement it into my training
This is a completely amateur opinion, but if you're looking for day one kinda stuff? I would recommend searching youtube for something like 'beginner yoga.' You'll very easily find little ten-minute sessions you can get started with that are targeted for people who don't know much of anything yet; they cost you nothing monetarily, and don't need much time investment. Once you've got a few of those under your belt or have been doing them for a couple weeks, you should have a good platform for branching out a bit.
I'm doing a follow along mobility training video soon but I also agree there are TONs on RUclips I recommend doin a 5-10 minute video daily just to get used to the practice & stay consistent
Hey jaxblade, I wanted to know if you could do a tough like the toons on Gyomei himejima the strongest hashira in demon slayer. Manga spoilers: He is insanely strong even giving a match to upper moon 1. He could carry three logs whilst fire was all around him. He had significant roles in the battles and demonstrated his strength. So I’m curious as to wether we could get his strength (and possibly physique) with weight training or even body weight or both.
#Veggiemite “Jaxblade who is fresh like glade” I will see myself out… “Jumps out the window” All seriousness though, I love that Krang analogy. Good on you 👍🏾
For the water thing. I buy mio or other non calorie flavoring, and use a sodastream to add a bubbly effect. It makes a quart each time and a big cup. I probably get a gallon a day and it tastes really great.
VEGEMITE my goals are to stay fit and learn a lot of martial arts, tricking, breakdancing and have better stamina so I can have all longevity so I can live as I can
Enjoy the video vegmit think you said that's well I'm in combat sports start at 32 first fight and still doing it at age 37 just turned January 16. So like you said if you want to do it put the work in. Yes will take longer and fighting younger guys. But stay with whatever your doing because your the only one who can stop you when other our saying your to old or that not possible unless you do XYZ.

The best tip I can give you for life long fitness,is the quote from Jack LaLanne “ use it,or loose it” is so true.
I’m older than most people think (let’s see if you can guess my age…? 😉), but I’ve found that a healthy lifestyle & doing everything in balance is the key to looking & feeling younger than you are.
That includes realizing you don’t have to be Superman in all your training sessions (Periodized training becomes more important as you get older), getting enough sleep, not neglecting to do mobility & warmup work, not abusing any drugs, getting proper recovery time, & eating a healthy balanced diet that properly fuels your body to achieve your goals.
And last but not least, living your life in a way that leaves you happy & proud of yourself goes a LONG way in keeping you motivated to get up every day to keep doing everything mentioned above consistently.

So what is periodized training simply put (tried googling but i just got more lost)? My goal is to be a fitness jack of all trades. I want to have:
- high endurance and stamina
- functional strength to carry my entire body, heavy people, and heavy things
- flexibility and control over my body like Elastigirl or Inosuke
- agility and reflexes
- bones, tendons, and muscles that don't get injured or strained easily
- enough muscle that it can be seen through long sleeve shirts and enough that I don't need to flex for it be felt
- whatever fitness and athletic abilities that prepare ppl for certain situations (life being in danger, running during chase moments, bedroom stuff, etc.)
Appearance-wise, think: Tanjirou, Mikasa or Levi, Avatar Korra, Vi from Arcane, or a combat sports athlete. Lean with lots of athletic abilities and enough muscle even when clothed.
Would periodized training get in the way of some of my goals or reduce athletic capabilities? Bc I've heard stories of body builders that look and are strong but their stamina is terrible and I don't want any problems like that.
@@angelsans1625 Close but nope. Good guess though!
@@FitLabb haha Dayum bro I was gonna say you’re 38 😂
Jax has gotta be at least top 5 fitness AND anime RUclipsrs
Jaxblade man really you should do a yoga follow along or mobility routine or both
I did a Luffy TLTTz which was very similar :)
I've always taken Jackie Chan as my inspiration for maintaining peak fitness. If you never lose it you never have to fight to get it back.
Jax I will be 24 this year. I'm obviously not that old but I haven't active since I was 21 when covid hit. Last night I pulled a muscle I didn't know I had LAYING DOWN and I decided that I didn't like that shit. With me gaining a little weight and you uploading this video imma try to get my shit together.
Imma try that metronome shit you was talking about and with you uploading this video I really need to get off my ass.
All that to say.
Thanks for being an inspiration
PLEASE DO THE SAIYAN DIET VIDEO!!!!
That last point is so bloody true. I see the question "am I too old to start martial arts" all the time. You're never too old, get in there and get training if that's what YOU want.
Late comment. My dad had a stroke days ago. He also contracted covid. He developed type 2 diabetes when I was younger and high blood pressure. We have really fast metabolisms and he didn't externally appear like he would have had these issues. I've always been big on health and exercise (I'm an elementary P.E. teacher), but I can honestly say a little part of me needed this. Thanks Jax. You're videos always have a way of picking me up.
I'm sorry to hear about your father, hope he recovers soon and just take it 1 day at a time! You got this
1% Better each day
Gotta train hard but take brakes and get that yoga/meditation in. What helps me feel good.
"Omniman has a lot of energy with his pet" nice one. Great video
Thx Jaxblade for the stretch advice man, I been on a 30 day mobility training and so far I’m 3 days in. My goal is to do the splits in less than 30-days.
"vegemite" just turned 18 and i have a unbalanced diet and dont drink alot, gonna try doing all this for 2 weeks im gonna start doing this for the next two weeks andcome back with the effects, either way, awesome vid my guy
Your channel gives me the vibes of 2000s
I'm 36 and I hope my best-looking years are still ahead of me. Finally getting proper exercise equipment at home soon, once one of the rooms in my flat becomes free in about a month or so. I've even had a perfectly good punching bag for several years now, but haven't been able to install it ever since I moved two plus years ago - I'm looking forward to using it again.
Also, 'VEGEMITE'.
I’m 35 & started taking up Muay Thai & it’s one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made 💪🏽
FINALLY
Don't let time past you by so easily. Have focus and awareness of it. Then play with the idea of time and the construct will become a armor for your mind. Don't worry about how old you are. Forget it. Nothing happens after 21 anyways. Don't think about how much time you've wasted doing what you didn't want to do. Enjoy every breath. Find something to be happy about even when it becomes a challenge. Exercise your mind and your body. And you'll be strong for a long time.
I do cardio more than any other type of physical training, that combined with lots of water, no alcohol and no drugs and moderate weight training, I still look 15 when I'm about to be 24. Recently starting training boxing as a form of skill training and having so much fun learning moves and leg work drills. I got into training watching Vegeta obsess over becoming a Super Saiyan as Lil kid
I wonder how powerful a Saiyan/viltumite hybrid would be
I think someone has made a video on that.
Unmatch!!!
What about Sayan/Kryptonian!
Fuuuuuusion HA!
yes
Yep, lean bulked myself this winter up to 224lbs with whole foods feeding and OMAD intermittent fasting, from 204lbs. I turned 44 this January.
I love Invincible. I can't wait till Season 2. The show had me on the edge wondering why Omniman killed the other superheros. "Vegemite"
The Comics for it are just as great and seein how the show modified certain storylines is gonna be interesting
@@JaxBlade Right. I forgot it was a comic first.
Vegemite. I have done fitness on and off. I now work at a warehouse for now. Exercise, Dieting, and Sleep make life easier. Also, it does give a mental boost. Exercise doesn't make you smarter. It does teach discipline. It gives a huge boost so you have the energy to learn.
I just do mostly Kettle Bell Swings. I do deadlift squats. Just walking, in general, is good for overall health.
Truth. I'm healthier now in my 30s than I was in my 20s. It's nice to have a bit of a youtube community dedicated to it. Keep up the nice work.
I appreciate the tiny vegeta and omni-man in the corner xd
Reminds me of the Scott pilgrim chibis lol
My daily cardio is one or two anime episodes worth of cycling. Mixing that relaxed reward directly with exercise.
Thank you for making ALL of your content. You preach physical and mental health from a place of empathy and you help keep me mindful of my body and mind.
i love this guy. relating everything to anime is awesome. and its great mentioning injuries i still deal with a few from a long time ago but they are way better than theyve ever been due to being smart (making sure joints get blood flow. Tore cartilage and labrum in left shoulder and same in right)
Vegemite gang! 🤘
I know he only briefly mentioned this, but to add a bit more clarity on the collagen he mentioned, collagen is something the body makes with dietary protein (this is why bone broth is so good for your body to get large amounts of collagen). when referring to supplements for people who have a vegetarian or vegan diet you need to get protein supplements not the supplements that have straight collagen in them, this is because the human body will NOT ACCEPT outside collagen and will only use the collagen that the body creates on its own. Personally I believe that for vegetarian and vegan diets if you're wanting more collagen then it's best to eat foods with high dietary protein (this would be your soybeans, red beans, and black beans, as well as peanuts, walnuts, or cashews, and any other non - animal bi product food that has high amounts of dietary protein in it.
Thank you for addressing us, the older wolves of well being! One of my favorite books on this subject is "The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer"" by Stephen Kotler. I haven't finished the book yet, as each section of each chapter has absolutely blown my mind and changed my perspective on both my training and my life. It is a manual for elevating your performance to the next level. Highly recommended. VEGEMITE!
Glad u didn’t listen to that person.. I love your videos I watch them while I do my cardio keep it up
A great video as I move into my 30s with a decision to make this my strongest decade especially with my physical disciplines of martial arts and breaking. Always dope watching your stuff, Vegemite
Vegemite lol
A bit of a paradox I've run across, you mention a job where you're active is good for you. I agree, to an extent. I'm working an active job right now and I definitely feel better generally. However, it becomes a problem when you get injured. Most jobs aren't going to let you take time to recover. I've had some close calls with that, so far I've only gotten mildly injured and always close to the weekend lol. But I'm not sure the benefits of a job like that outweigh the risks.
VEGEMITE
My goals are: (a) general fitness to avoid injury and illness and to promote longevity and rejuvenation as well as have full functionality of my body, (b) enjoy the physical sensations and endorphin rush from exercising and performing things like dance well, (c) improve my mental health, (d) get a femboy physique, with a 0.8 waist to hip ratio and so on...
Awesome to hear!
I used to work out every day (different exercise each day) from late 2018 to early 2020 since I used to work the morning shift at my retail job, but then I switched over to the late afternoon shift and not only did I stop doing my workouts, but unfortunately the constant lifting at my retail store strained my body. I'm hopefully going back to an earlier time shift and from there I'll be getting back to my exercises slowly.
Take your time and build back up slowly, you got this!
@@JaxBlade Thank you!
Yo Jax, Just burned through all of Holyland. It's probably my favorite martial arts manga now and I would love to see you cover it.
Love his positivity, and vegmite
Yes Jax I WILL enjoy the video (got a jax ad mid video, what a pleasant surprise, hes teaching me how to stay healthy even during the ad break!)
You know it's funny before i watched this video. I was writing out goals for the year that I wanted to do or accomplish. And meditation was definitely on there, but I completely forgot about yoga. Lol, thanks for the reminder. I can't wait to apply this new information into my life and help me come closer to my fitness goals.
Vegemite
Yeah I do moderate workouts when I do but rest most of the time. I've noticed I've gotten more out of my muscles than people who overwork themselves. I've also been unemployed most of my adult life, aside from 2 years at Walmart & a year at goodwill.
One of the reasons I'm 28 but could pass for 18.
Vegemite!!
Oooo,mega spiderman video,awesome bro,can’t wait!!!🥳🥳
am 44 here, right now I'm just wanting to get myself back to where I was pre-rona, and from there completing a marathon is on the long term with just weight loss to make the joints less stressed for the near term.
1:25 sir i aprove of this way of deloading lul
I have mentioned to other people in a Cosplay and Fitness group in Facebook, that I should probably switch up to calisthenics after a year of weightlifting. Partially because even if you're moving more weight, being able to do 100+ pushus before needing to rest and do even more is far more impressive.
Vegemite
Also doing water fasting is a lot easier in the summer for me. Probably because it's just too hit to eat lol. I'm only 34 and noticed the left side of my beard is trying to go white. My mind is still telling me I'm in my 20s. My knee and back tell me otherwise.
@@fitnesse1288 as long as I can be mindful about keeping my front delts out of the way. one of my issues back when I did 300 regular pushups per day, I think after a while I just started thinking 'I gotta get this over with.' and didn't notice my delts were way too dominate. I've been doing pullups and lat pulldowns with no chest workouts for the passed year and haven't really fixed my posture.
Here’s some Vegemite for ya mate. Interesting video with some cool points. Keep up the good work man
Thanks Jax
Jax is just being Modest, guys. look at the white hairs in his beard. He's actually 402 years old. He is as close to eternal youth as you can get.
Best channel on RUclips I’d love to see a full mobility\flexibility routine to follow for myself
Tomorrow is the special day of the year again!
3:25 - Explains why Goku's frame (and muscles) are bigger than Vegeta's. The prince is just too tense all the time. Hehe
VEGEMITE
Hi, it's Jax with science facts. This is what I subscribed years ago for. Keep up the awesomeness.
Now I'm imagining some ad executive in Australia is going to try to find a way to do an anime tie-in with Vegemite.
As for how my fitness journey has changed over the years, a lot if it has been unlearning a lot of the toxic mentality that gets super-imposed on fitness, martial arts especially.
Back in college, I would put in 9 hours of exercise a week, between two martial arts classes and doing regular sessions at the on-campus gym. However, I was eating like crap, whole pizzas on the regular, drinking more soda than water, lots of junk food, etc.
Combine that with a mentality drilled into me by a particularly toxic TKD school that pretty much demanded abject loyalty, and expected students to go above and beyond, or they "weren't truly dedicated."
This led to a lot of moments where I would push myself in my exercises, even while injured, making things worse.
It wasn't until a few years after I graduated college and left the TKD school and worked on my traumas that I was able to rediscover my love of the martial arts and exercising in general, as well as learning proper form and proper nutrition.
It helps that I was also able to find less toxic martial arts instructors that respected the fact that students had lives outside of the training hall.
Salve, Meu Mano! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Started sounding like Vegeta in my prime
I vote for the Saiyan food episode and all food related epi in the future! And yes, I would like to know how Vegimite is worked into a Saiyan diet!
Vegemite!
Vegemite, love ya JaxBlade. You’re awesome
I'm slowly beginning to understand that mobility is a very key thing that I need in my life I just don't know where to start and how to implement it into my training
This is a completely amateur opinion, but if you're looking for day one kinda stuff? I would recommend searching youtube for something like 'beginner yoga.' You'll very easily find little ten-minute sessions you can get started with that are targeted for people who don't know much of anything yet; they cost you nothing monetarily, and don't need much time investment. Once you've got a few of those under your belt or have been doing them for a couple weeks, you should have a good platform for branching out a bit.
I'm doing a follow along mobility training video soon but I also agree there are TONs on RUclips I recommend doin a 5-10 minute video daily just to get used to the practice & stay consistent
1:25 bruh why'd you include this one here 💀 that's a whole unload week
Oh and btw, I really like your illustrations!
Hey jaxblade, I wanted to know if you could do a tough like the toons on Gyomei himejima the strongest hashira in demon slayer.
Manga spoilers:
He is insanely strong even giving a match to upper moon 1. He could carry three logs whilst fire was all around him. He had significant roles in the battles and demonstrated his strength.
So I’m curious as to wether we could get his strength (and possibly physique) with weight training or even body weight or both.
Started training at 15. I have Pectus exctavatem and I've had really bad body dismorphia because of it but this guy helped me alot
Got to love Jax with the science facts. Great video as always. Vegemight
Just popped up as I was feeling "old" thank you jax - vegemight
Hi JaxBlade i have a question can you also fry your C.N.S because your not sleeping enough
BTW Great video i love your enegry keep it up
#Veggiemite
“Jaxblade who is fresh like glade”
I will see myself out…
“Jumps out the window”
All seriousness though, I love that Krang analogy. Good on you 👍🏾
For the water thing. I buy mio or other non calorie flavoring, and use a sodastream to add a bubbly effect. It makes a quart each time and a big cup. I probably get a gallon a day and it tastes really great.
Hey Jax here’s an idea I came up with. Can you come up with the best anime body. Like who has the best chest, best back, best arms, and best legs??
Man I love your videos! Awesome job Jax!
thanks so much!
Thank you Jax for the injury advice. I have a problem not pushing myself to hard. I’ll try to take it easier on myself after injuring my wrist
The goal is to be like heihachi from tekken 💪🏿
A saiyan diet vid would be awesome
I'm 19 and I'm learning more abt myself and what I wanna do, I just gotta say thanks for your help and advice
VEGEMITE
my goals are to stay fit and learn a lot of
martial arts, tricking, breakdancing and
have better stamina so I can have all
longevity so I can live as I can
Enjoy the video vegmit think you said that's well I'm in combat sports start at 32 first fight and still doing it at age 37 just turned January 16. So like you said if you want to do it put the work in. Yes will take longer and fighting younger guys. But stay with whatever your doing because your the only one who can stop you when other our saying your to old or that not possible unless you do XYZ.
Vegemite, I heard it has a strong taste. Looking forward to your next vid!!
Jaxsblade is once again being such a good dad/older brother to his subs 😊
Woooow super impressive and awesome channel, what a great explanation and motivation i am happy i saw this great channel
This was an interesting one and you had my attention throughout the whole thing!
Dude, my shoulder is messed up pretty much exactly how you described your experience here. Can you share any tips, resources to rehab my shoulder? I was pushing through like you said until last week I could not lift a dumbbell to chest press, sharp pain. I'm planning to start seeing a physical therapist as soon as I can, but what should I do in the meantime? Thanks bro. Great content!
I am 25 and I been off and on , now I'm pinning down to stay on a keto diet , getting to a simple work out till I get to that Saiyan build
You got this!
Jaxblade looks 6 years younger than he is
