Loving this coming to terms with age content. A lot of us are getting middle aged with you bro
whats considered middle age
@@I360FXI40-50
I'm 22 but I've got hip arthritis can I join the middle aged club
@@Hoppitot there's room in the sad young club
@@Hoppitotyou re in bro
Turned 40 in August last year been climbing for about 2 and after years of trying different pursuits realised climbing, for me at least, is the perfect thing to keep fit, keep strong and have a good laugh . A bonus is my wife and youngest daughter loves climbing too so we have a good time together. Im also a plumber so I'm on my knees alot of the time and so I know the pain of bad knees and back. Hope it all works out for you.
That’s why I love rock climbing. Normally athletes peak out in their sport mid 20s. Rock climbing people still max out in there 40s and 50s, I’ve seen people in 80s absolutely crushing 5.10s and 5.11s at my gym absolutely insane
Steroids are not the problem in climbing. Now.
I am 43 and I just picked up climbing. Kicks my butt every time .
I do a bit of climbing too, I think eventually I'll probably focus on it more as it is enjoyable in a similar way that tricking was, still moving heavy weights for now though.
All those years ago i stumbled across your backflip tutorial. I was 15/16 at the time. Now im 33 and still watching your videos and just like that backflip video back then, this one resonates just as much. Thank you for being you.
I’m 27 and in the last 4 years I’ve accumulated injuries to my lower back, right shoulder, left knee, and both wrists from breaking (breakdance). An older dancer than me called me “the youngest old guy he knows”. Really got me thinking about longevity and my quality of life as I get older. This video came at just the right time for me - thank you Juji. Hope you stay healthy & well.
Breaking can f you up! Compressed spine, knees etc etc. brutal
Those kinds of sports are the most dangerous. The ones where you use body weight and requiring a lot of flexibility. Worst of the worst statistically. MMA fighters have less injuries.
felt this, 27 as well and all my friends and even older friends say that to me lol. Accident prone I guess lol. Hope you all stay healthy as well🙏
Oh yeah 100% know what you mean ! been breakdancing, doing parkour and tricking from 2006 to 2014 , my left knee gives up on my occasionally while climbing the stairs lol and once i almost got crushed under the weights while doing squats
Yeah man, I just hit 40 and all those injuries you suffer as a younger person all accumulate and can really affect you when you get older. Take care if yourself because that shyt adds up.
The most honest fitness RUclipsr. Very appreciative of everything you do.
A big 🎉 to Sam behind the camera! Her comments and questions raised this video to another level. I’m looking forward to seeing what the two of you will do together in the years ahead.
I am 52 and enjoy powerlifting movements. I understand that I am no longer 20-something, so I don't do a lot of jarring movements, no acrobatics, stopped playing basketball (my knees don't like the hard court), and by acknowledging some of this, I am stronger and healthier now than when I was in my 40s.
Just turned 52 myself. I've made adjustments. I can still do everything I was able to do in my younger years, but I have noticed when I get hurt, it takes a lot longer to heal. Like Juji, I think increasing my flexibility is what's allowing me to get away with some things I do today I couldn't do when I was a younger lifter with tight joints.
Knees over toes guy on youtube. Thank me later
@@vilhelmkron7455 oh yeah I’m familiar with him. I train my tibialis and psosas since I learned about him a couple of years ago. Appreciate it 👍
I work at the company that makes the ultrasound machine used to guide the needle! Really gratifying that something I contributed to might help you continue to do what you love. Peace and love in the coming year!!
That wisdom during the last 2 minutes hit really hard. Thank you Juji and Sam. We all appreciate you both!
Juji dont feel too hard on yourself, you have the world at your fingertips! you certainly are an athlete but also a scholar of knowledge, ive been watching you since i was about 16 and you are what i define as a real youtuber! you have so much left you can explore! big love big man from wales
god stop simping you simp.
I’m 32 but I have the wear and tear of a 60 year old and I fully feel the emotions of this video and understand your point of view. Years of martial arts then weight lifting plus doing manual labor work since I was a child has taken its toll on every joint and disc I have. It has been hard emotionally in the past realizing my limits after pushing way past them and causing damage that has forced me to work my stretches and exercise around them. At 21 I felt invincible but even with these aches and pains I know I’d whoop up on 21 year old me lol. I’ve been forced to not push for one rep max on exercises and I do miss that but when I’m working out smart regularly I still feel great. I’m still athletic but I have my days that the sciatica kicks in bad or a tweaked shoulder or knee.
I'm in the exact position you are. What do you do that works for you going forward? Do you still bodybuild and do manual labour? I'm in the exact position and do those things with a bad back, shoulder and knee. Trying to find solutions without losing so much progress is tough.
Same here. Work manual job in construction 5/6 days a week, and try to work out couple of times a week to undo/correct all the stuff I do in work. I've learned a lot from kneesovertoesguy and athleanX
It's disheartening to realize that despite our lifelong efforts training, at some point, we ultimately become worse at those physical activities.
Well I guess there's a reason you don't see very many older acrobats, gymnasts, tricking guys etc. The signs are pretty obvious that you should probably move on from those activities. Your fans and followers still love you Juji no matter how you decide to reinvent yourself. I would rather see you strong and healthy than to see you keep holding on to who you might think you are, or used to be. Sometimes we have to let go of things and move forward. Sometimes we have to be humble and accept reality. I hope 2024 is your best year ever!
Most acrobatic athletes are also well under 200 lbs.
C R I N G E
I think his knee problems stem from heavy lifting and being significantly overweight. If you are at normal weight - acrobatics and gymnastics will do no harm and will only strengthen ligaments and joints.
Steroids + being overweight does its toll
I got up from the mat yesterday in the gym and heard my knee make an interesting crunching noise. Still doing what I can and leaving behind what I can’t! I love your outlook on getting older. Protect those knees of yours!
Juji, hats off to you for getting the medical help you need, but just as importantly, recognizing your mortality and pivoting to activities appropriate for you at this stage in your life.
I used to be a competitive bodybuilder as well for many years, but retired before my children were born.
I still lift weights but for a different purpose...preparing my +50yr body for inline skating marathons. Skating is an amazing sport (~1000 skating miles annually), and it has kept me young in mind, body and spirit.
Keep on advancing your journey...good luck!
Hey!
I generally dont comment on videos but I wanted to say that Sam got way better in the way she appears in the videos and how she contributes. Also Juji thanks for being such good Idol in being fit and trying your best to be yourself. it is really inspiring!
She called you a muscle nugget. Made me giggle. I'm nowhere near your abilities or shape. I've learned recently. Staying alive is a feat of strength. I'm gonna try to continue that as long as I can.
going through the same challenges a few months after turning 40. thanks for sharing your perspective, needed that
This has been an extremely human and pragmatic video. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, and taking us on your journey of life. Wishing you health and happiness in the new year!
Your vulnerability & insights from your perspective are so valuable for the world to see brother!! I loved watching this whole video, especially the rope flow content!
Excited to Rope Flow with you soon my friend !
As someone who has already crossed into the 40s, this resonates with me, and is one of the best things you have ever posted. Cheers for sharing your insights!
Hey, Juji, I've been following your journey for quite a while. I think you're an absolute unit, no matter what. You're too hard on yourself, starting from explaining why you cut your hair to having an explanation as to why you're taking care of your health on the long run. Keep in mind, you owe us nothing, you've already given us so much, especially in the form of pure entertainment for years! You're a person I will always look up to, you actually got me into grip strength training! Just remember, everything you do in the end is about you and your own well being and it's totally normal and fine! Wish you sincere best of luck in all your crazy endevours going forth and I really hope I still see you around for a while! Happy new year!
Been here since the beginning my friend, stay healthy, it's been amazing seeing you grow.
You’re the man Juji! Your influence and affect on others lives has gone far beyond what most can say. Save yourself for the rest of your life. Your attitude and presence alone are more than enough for us viewers. Excited for the future. Thank you for years of enjoyment and many more years of enjoyment to come.
What are your training and life goals for the new year?! What have you had to let go to continue moving forward? Let me know, would love to read your guys experiences here! Let's continue growing together!
armwrestling every day! ;) loving it
I am pretty weak by the standards of a lifter and I began late in life; well past the peak of the body's regenerative capabilities. It doesn't help that I used to ride mountain bikes badly, which left me with a separated shoulder on the right and one that was held together with a plate for a while, on the left. I wanted to manage a 140kg squat before my 49th birthday, and managed 135 but just couldn't quite push the 140 up. I tried a few more weeks of training and did a pretty clean job of the 140, one month later. My best deadlift was a messy 170kg and now I am hoping to manage a clean 180 in the next month or so. My best bench press was a shaky 97kg, just over my body weight which I know is pretty poor. I had a bad wrist injury in April which set bench pressing far back, but I am going to work to regain that 97 in the next few months.
I had been training in martial arts for some time, but probably would never have begun lifting if not for your videos. I first found out who you were when you made a video with Shane Fazen, but quickly began watching your videos with more eagerness than I had for any others. Because of you, I have eaten more broccoli than I once would have thought possible and am fitter and healthier than I would otherwise have been. I have a lot to thank you for.
My aim is to get another 20 to 30 kilos on those main lifts in the next few years, while I still can. Thank you for years of inspiration and entertainment, Juji.
🙏😀
ps. My little pet finches would like to thank you for all of the extra broccoli they also get.
I want to become stronger. Goals this year is strictpress 120kg over head, 170kg bench, 260 deadlift and 250 squat, all raw and natty:)
I had to retire from armored combat 10 years ago due to a very bad work accident. I've had to let go of that, of being sub 200lbs, and of being a upper level competitive sword fighter. This year I'd like to join the 500lb Club for weightlifting, and attend at least a few HEMA tournaments and fight in the Middle Aged categories so I don't have to keep up with folks less than half my age. Non physical is to get an IT degree at the AAS level and pass Sec+ and Net+. Two surgery goals I have are to get shoulder surgery and to fix my damaged SI Joint.
Now that I live close to Chuck Gross of HEMA Strong, I think after I get past this latest injury (Meralgia Paresthetica) I will be able to dial in more things.
OH! And I'd love to complete a Spartan Super, maybe at Killington, VT.
38 years old btw
I follow you since the days when you had your own homepage. I love seeing how you have been involving over the years. You are a great inspiration.
I don't comment much but i have been watching for the last 5 years. The humbleness and realness you provide is just amazing to me. ive learned a lot from you over the years and look forward to watching for you many more. thank you for the content and being so real with everyone.
About 6 years ago I started lifting and followed you for tips. Your deadlift routine in the parking lot 4 reps by 10 sets is one of my favorite routines. I will be 45 this year, it will be interesting to see what routines you come up with for us older timers. Good luck.
Hey man, just wanted to say I appreciate you opening up about this. I'm 38, got a few herniated discs and a bit of nerve damage. It's hard realizing that we can't do the things we used to be able to. It's easy to be stubborn. But I appreciate your message of exchanging things in place of those we lost. As hard as it is to move on, it opens up opportunities for us to explore.
Thanks for the positive message and words, and all the fun videos over the years. Take care!
I'm staring down the barrel of 39 very soon... I swear it seems like only yesterday I was 18-19 and cluelessly getting into gym and other sorts of training and now I'm nearly 40 also with a few herniated discs. I swear man If I could go back with my knowledge now, I couldn't imagine getting injured other than from pure bad luck.
Thanks for making this kind of content as a young athlete getting older terrifies me and it’s amazing to have someone show their process of doing amazing things as well as showing their life
Juji, we freaking love ya. Glad to see this sensible reflection and communicating it to us. (43 year old here.)
I first followed Jujimufu because I got recced the video of you comparing grip strength to some climbers, and it was this stick-thin kid who had the strongest grip. Jijimufu's reaction was just so *positive* and affirming and "what works *works*" that I subscribed to see more of it, and I've not been disappointed. So as you shift focus, exercises, etc, what keeps me coming back is your approach to activities and other people. I want and need positive fitness people to look to - I also follow Hybrid Calisthenics for the same reason.
All the best for your recovery, man! There is so much you can seek these days, it seems worth trying most out for sure 🙂
We're the same age, it's a weird transitional period but hardly the end of our physical peak. I've been following you for years. I remember when you shifted away from tricking and IIRC you basically said you were moving away from it because it was too contradictory to your body building stuff, and I've enjoyed watching your journey through various strength disciplines. Keep it up. ❤
Thank you for sharing this personal experience you are dealing with. I also have been struggling with my knees lately (recovering from age 22 torn ACL/Meniscus). Playing basketball triggered mine last year and the doctors have yet to treat me beyond non-helpful physical therapy…one doctor recommended my pain is mental related while I have swollen ballon knee caps. Keep pushing for your goal and can’t wait for the final thoughts-post recovery.
He's rebuilding stronger. I can get behind this new year new me vibe !!! Love from Az ❤️ 💕 been here for a while, your awesome man.
"Train like you would 20 years from now." Just want to highlight that, that's such a great quote.
I am 54, I definitely don't wanna train like I am 74 lol. That is dumb
you didnt understand the statement to begin with@@LarsRyeJeppesen
@@johnnyp.601you didnt understand how stupid it is to begin with
@@johnnyp.601 I think I did. But I don't agree that it is a good idea. You should train depending on your specific current situation, recovery, health, sleep, age, injuries etc. I do understand the intention, which is you should train knowing that you also need to be able to train in 20 years. (See, Did get it)
You'll be fine without doing things that completely fuck up your body, Juji. I think you are a great guy and you will always find stuff that excites you, makes you happy and that you are good at doing. I'm 40 now, too, and I have come to terms with the fact that my body isn't the same as when I was 18. Yes, when you get older then you become more prone to injury - but at the same time your character changed over the past 20 years and doing back flips or whatever likely isn't your number one priority anymore. :)
I’m the same age as you Juji and weight training since 10 years old. Letting go of high impact is the best idea. All my joints are salvaged …the best I could and train for fun and feels. 😊
I feel this so much. I have moderate arthritis in my right knee after breaking my tibia early in college. I'm now 34 on a recovery track from some serious knee rehab after it flared up bad last year. Things are feeling MUCH better now but there was a big part of me that thought I'd never (Olympic) weightlift again. There was SO MUCH doubt in my mind as the one activity in my life - lifting - seemed like something I'd have to shelf. Thankfully PT is going well and I just snatched 100kg today for the first time since my injury last year.
I may have to do a knee replacement later in life but I'll cross that bridge when the time comes.
I'm so glad to see you're still moving and doing well John. You, me, and the rest of us are not done yet.
My brother I’m really sorry about your knees and your health. Man I’ve been going through a groin tear that just won’t completely heal it’s coming up to the year mark and it is debilitating. Not just physically but also mentally, emotionally, even so spiritually to feel so broken to feel as if you’re losing your health. Losing that identity of strength and resilience that you had in your younger years. It’s very humbling experience to say the least. One thing that has oddly happened is I now think I believe in God. As counterintuitive as it sounds as my body weaken my faith increases as I deal with pain and suffering I appreciate moments of ease and comfort. God bless Juji May God heal you and comfort you through the dark hours of life. In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen
Yeaaah The year of improvement has commenced! I’ll be undergoing my first surgery in a few months for bilateral carpal tunnel so this year is gonna be a good one for us all
Your transparency with this side of things is fucking awesome.
wow juji really impressed to see you maturing and growing on the channel. I think its heading in a great new direction.
Loving the editing, the authenticity, stay amazing
I miss tricking but we had a great run at it brother! Definitely thankful for everything tricking gave me. You were always such a great influence for me and the rest of the community!! ~Jon P
holy moly it's Jon P!!!! 😀/
Jon P! Woah. Wannabflippa/swedishfish07 here. I miss tricking everyday and constantly go through moves in my head. Stopped going to the gymnastics gym probably in 2017 and haven’t tricked since. Time is flying by. I think you are very right Juji, unfortunately tricking just isn’t sustainable going into our mid-late 30s. It would be cool to still be able to throw a cork here and there but the risk/reward just isn’t there anymore. I’ve always wanted to get back into breakdancing but I have always asked myself why? Practice all the time and be in pain year round so I can do something cool at a wedding for 5 minutes? As a kid or in my early 20’s it was worth it but now I prioritize not being in pain.
@@JimNgStunts heyhey jester mayn!
Midlife crisis is a real bitch to deal with. I'm 73 now and still working out and comparing where I was with where I am at now😋! My goal is just to stay as fit as I can for as long as it's possible these days.
I'm turning 28, and played collegiate and semi-professional rugby for a good chunk of my life (5'10", competitive weight anywhere from 200-220lbs). Like you, I also have grade 4 osteoarthritis in my knee, that slowly got better with a PRP injection and a lot of targeted work stabilizing the muscles around the knee.
I contemplated a return to rugby, but decided that part of my life is probably over. My goal used to be 200+ lbs, lean, and strong af. But i'm not enhanced and I think an extended time at this weight is really wearing on my joints. Going into 2024 and middle age, my goal is to be at a healthy weight and slowly work on my strength. Thanks for sharing Juji. Your thoughts about tricking resonated a lot with me as an athlete.
As a hick from ontario canada, It makes me so happy to hear juji is a letterkenny fan 😊
Having started back in August lifting weights at my home (I am lucky to have some dumbbells and a barbell, bought when I was just leaving school, now I'm 33). I had a look at myself then and decided that I was not happy with how I was, how I was being received by people. I was honest with myself.
Now entering the New Year, I am so glad I did. I had to start somewhere and I was so underdeveloped to the point where now (4 months along) People now notice "Hey, you're getting bigger in your shoulders dude!" And it makes me immensely happy. Call me vain... I do not care, Having been 6'3 and skinny for most of my life... It really hits you.
You've come far Juji, there is so much more to go!
Totally gonna be here for the Zimmer frame lift when we are all old. Love you man.
many many years ago i remember seing you first because of the crazy flamingo kicking videos and splits also with the late rich piana , you have aged but we have aged with you aswell juji , i hope whatever you chose to do you are happy and healthy brother.
So good to see you develop like this. Been a fan for so long, but you've become so much more than the jacked tricking dude. You're such a wholesome, wise dude. keep on keeping on!
All of these younger commits.At age 78 and have lifted since 1965 and played every sport through HS through college and 4 years military and then 15 years amateur leagues. Then golf till about 4 yes ago.Bone on bone arthritis I have now gone through 3 months of gel shots and wear special braces to straightened out the joints.Now life sucks, Bike riding and leg workouts are all I got left to do.My shoulders are next so I can enjoy golf again without the pain.Glad to see you taking this approach.A lot of these things weren't available to me or affordable back in the 70's.Keep the honest content coming John.
had a motorbike crash 5 months ago and having screws through my knee has really slowed me down and i'm only just getting around to walking now. along with breaking a wrist and knackering a tendent in the other. This video has shown me that its good to reflect on where you are and how things might change, my recovery has some way's to go especially my knee hurting with pretty much every step and the quads in that leg pretty much just vanishing this has actually made me hopeful along with making sure i know I can pivot into other things
Youre awesome Juji. The knowledge you share is amazing and you show how to enjoy doing workouts and what benefits there are to constant swlf improvement.
I love it! When you turn 60, you're gonna be jacked AF, wearing luminescent body paint, and spinning fire poi at huge EDM events! Get it Juji!
It is very good you are bringing light to the topic that is most often not highlighted enough in this industry. Sustaining yourself instead of chasing gains infinitely is a very reach discussion theme
I dealt with and managed a damaged knee from my teen years through my 20's and 30's. Shortly before my 41st birthday I had a total knee replacement. Getting a TKR is not the end of the fitness journey. I have to be cautious with open chain activities, but it has been solid for bicycling and strength training. I do worry about wearing out the plastic bits, but they are replaceable. Try to keep your original equipment going as long as possible, but when the time comes the replacements are a godsend. Now my hips are starting to hurt ;)
I’m 23, in the best health of my life, almost done with school, broke 4 state records, and have a 585 deadlift @ 170 bw. I got my start in fitness from watching you and 2 other creators when i was 16. It’s sort of bitter sweet to see you begin this transition, but is making me value this time in my training much more.
Can’t wait to see what you do these next several years and wanna thank you for what you’ve given me even if you might not know it.
I’ve continued being subscribed and actively checked the channel for uploads simply because Juji is a great entertainer who shares many of my interests, not based on any of the specific trends or training modalities he’s taken a crack at
No matter what the next step is Im sure we’ll all be along for the ride, wishing for your good health Jon
Thank you for always putting out great content and sharing your experiences. I hope the treatment helps sure up your knees and you continue to have some activates that you're passionate about
juji youre fkn awesome. your explanation of getting older hits all of us. ''scary'' but we will still move forward.
Juji, thanks for this brother. 47 years old, workout out for most of them, and my body quit me after covid. No sleep, full body nueropothy, pain, and misery for a solid year. Finally, I found a cure in Florida, at Aviv clinics. Its a full 3 month treatment, but im almost done. I sleep now, the symptoms are almost gone, and i have hope. We have to give up some things as we get old and injured, but we keep on living cause there's plenty left to love. Love ya brother, keep on keeping on
Juji, been following you since the trickstutorials days - fellow metalhead, recovering power lifter, creeping up on 40 years of age. It’s weird to have a reckoning of age, but your outgoing “seeker” mentality will help you. Just keep trying new stuff.
Personally, I found rock climbing to be a great outlet. Plenty of progression, always new challenges, great excuse to get outdoors. I have some friends that I climb with who are still crushing it in their 60s! Plus the general vibe of climbing is very laid back.
Wish you the best, my man!
really appreciate this video, good timing 👍🏼
Yooo so cool to hear the Dan John quote! Max respect for that dude. I’m not even 26 yet but taking that advice has already changed my training life hugely
I like the idea that in broad terms growth is an adaptive response. All the best in your training!
4:37 Theres another quote to push to the top. Sensible and sustainable is too often looked over in fitness, so its refreshing to hear.
I needed this. Thank you!
Your personality is what makes me come back from time to time. Not even your craziest stuff you did
Juste stay yourself❤
Dude your amazing ! You’ve been a such an inspiration, and will keep being so ! I’m excited to view your future content .
This one is definitely one of my favorite videos. Very insightful!
Dude, I passed the half century mark a couple years back and to your point, you make adjustments. You keep training, some ways keep on keeping on while others you tweak. Even in “old” age you still show up the youngsters except with better form. 😅
Juji, love the evolution! here for it. Also, lemme buy one of them hoodies.
I know as a long time fan and subscriber I just want Juji to do what makes him happy and healthy. You're awesome whether you're doing flips and tricks or not!
Dude you are strong, creative and fun, sure you can find a good balance with the new changes and adjustments need it to take care of your body and STILL do workouts and enjoy your life.
In my fifties right now and my doctor told me hip replacements are coming. Doing my best in the gym to keep myself strong and flexible to put it off as long as I can. Just doing what I can because not doing it seems like giving up. Keep doing what you can do Juji, I watch like others do for the positivity not necessarily the tricking.
Thanks for being open about this, so that people are not set with unrealistic expectations! I think this can save people bodies...
You're amazing Juji, just look after your self and HAVE FUN! always remember that. Stay safe.
Thank you for making this video and for your insight. Most of the time when athletes hit this wall, their struggles aren't public, they just go away. Young people need to be aware that the miles they're putting on their body will add up and there's almost nothing worth trading for a lifetime of chronic pain.
Ah Juji what a phenomenal couple of decades you’ve had. This made me emotional.
Also, I just rewatched finally backwards!! ❤
Fan from Germany wishing all good for you! ❤️ Stay be you!
I used to do martial arts, and powerlift in my younger days up until my 40s. Then life interrupted it all. Now I'm 67 and today I reached a new milestone of ten straight minutes of kettlebell long cycle. I can't do what I did in my twenties and thirties because I'm twice that age. So I lift for fun and endurance rather than ego. It was a big adjustment and took a while...but I'm happy to set new goals and to still be going at this age and hopefully beyond.
been watching you for a long time now Juji no matter what you do we will love it you are an amazing dude! Keep your head up and goodluck with the stems cells I hope they help!
New Arch for you and I'm all here for it !!!
Your new hair and beard look, looks great! Keep it up Juji!
Bless you, and I hope you can still lead your best life!❤
I feel this. I want to get back into parkour and tricking but I also have no desire to do it at such a high level anymore. I've battled with returning to it for a few years but my joints hurt enough as it is and maintaining with mobility and powerlifting training seems like a much more favorable decision for me personally.
In my area i found a guy who started and does some occasional parkour at 79 years old, after a lifetime of roller skating but he moves like he is 50 years old, he can run, drop some small heights and do basic vaults over decently sized rails and obstacles. I hope i will reach that age and be able to do stuff like he does but i am just 30 now, i do not feel limitations yet but i did cut back and diversified already because of work and desire to explore more activities. How old are you?
@@Leitosssssss also 30, and that’s my goal as well, I want to be able to move and be mobile later in life. I’ve had a series of injuries in my teens and twenties that I’ve already started feeling though.
I’d like to be able to vault but don’t need to double kong a gap or chuck corks anymore. Same with rail pres at height. I still enjoy lower ledge pres but no desire to push it anyway
I have gone through the same thing. Hang in there explore other interests! Find something that keeps you happy! Life continues...
My friend, loss does not make a person a loser, a person's response to loss does.
We will all face loss.
Loss of loved ones, loss of ability, loss of time to accomplish things.
This my man, is part of getting old.
I am a bit younger than you, but not by much, and I too am facing this stage of life.
What I can say, is that life can continue to grow, even if you are not focused on "gains".
Those dont define if you are winning or losing, but I would say that, at least in your case, we can easily point to what you have created here on youtube, the people on this platform that choose to associate with you (Mag/Ant/Etc..), and we can clearly see that you are winning in the capital W way.
Your good people, it shows. "You aint lossinn no time soon...."
I'll shed a tear here, for the dude who taught half my friends to trick and inspired us down here in Australia.
Full support dude !!!!!! Go Juji go !!!
This episode has been very cathartic and i appreciate it 👊
I first came for your flips but I genuinely stayed for your personally. Much love Juji best of luck with your ongoing endeavors
I went thru a very similar situation in my late 30's. I had to have a hip replacement and back surgery. I now have much the same attitude. Looking ahead and doing what I can according to my new situation. I am making PRs in the gym, just not dynamic stuff any more. Life goes on.
I was a long distance bicycle rider in my teens. In my 20s I took up rock climbing, then kayaking and long distance hiking.. I am now 70 and thankfully I can still play guitar as that is the only thing I have left that brings me joy. I wore everything else out. I never did it on purpose but I always had something I could do when I lost an ability. Cheers from Canada. ~ulrich
Considering the shape of some older and even younger bodybuilders and high impact athletes, Juji is in great shape! Still way more athletic than some of these younger guys
You just made my heart happy with the Letterkenny reference.
Juji!!!!! I missed you broski!
Had my first real sports injury after turning 40. Great mindset to do what you can do with what you have. My plan has always been do the sport I love until I'm 55, then "retire" and move to the next endeavor. You're constantly growing and moving, so expect some thing fall to the wayside as you move forward. Love the introspection.
