    I snuck into the Hybrid Showdown 3 powerlifting meet. On a whim no less! We saw Dan Bell, John Haack, and Julius Maddox break some HUGE records. Oh and I lifted some pretty heavy weights myself HAHAHAHA!

    Last minute decision to visit and do this. No prep, just took a week off and entered the meet! My goal this year was to set a "not-anxious" mindset PR during the event and I think I did it! Had a blast and felt more connected to those around me and remained grounded!

      I wanted to shit on Tom in this reply, but that's not what Juji would want.
      I disagree, because the videos are much less scripted. and much more personal. I expected to hate the change but instead I love it.
      Tom made massive contributions to the channel, but few of them were on the side of the camera he wanted to be on.

      @@a-a-rondavis9438 what he did has nothing to do with his ability..mike Tyson raped a woman, it doesn’t mean he’s not a better boxer than you. At least in the beginning Tom and juji were good friends. And Tom is the reason for the explosive growth of the channel that happened right when he took over the creative aspects.....hate Tom as a human all you want....you can’t knock his videographer/producer/creator/ whatever you wanna call it skills. He took jujis old almost Eric bugenhaugen ish content and turned it into some of the best content on TH-cam. I followed juji before Tom. I’ll follow him well after. But you can’t deny the impact he had. getting to, out of his life seems to be a massive weight off of Jon. But it is and will definitely be a loss for the videos. I’ve been saying I hope juji replaces him with someone else not on camera but behind the camera giving direction and ideas.
