I don’t think I’ve ever heard a TH-camr actually say that they want to be careful of what they say about food/weight/eating disorders because of the kids following them. So much respect for that statement.
@@defaultstate4536I don't think so. The idea behind the movement is to feel good in your body and don't judge others for their body. So being sensitive about that topic is one of the main goals the movement wants to accomplish... Getting rid of glorifying super low weight is one of the main goals.
@@undeniablySomeGuy Maybe so but I think Magnus promotes healthy eating (not under eating or over eating to detriment of health), and will be very careful not to promote unhealthy eating behaviours, therefore protecting his viewers. Many in the "body positivity" group do not share that philosophy and some of their viewers are potentially in danger of following trendy but unhealthy role models promoting eating patterns that could cause serious issues years down the road. It's awesome that Magnus seriously cares for his fans and vulnerable people and would never put them in risk the way some social media trend setters are doing.
I love both of these amazing men. They are both such sweet, humble human beings. I remember when they both met and I'm so happy to see their friendship continue.
Genuinely surprised to read this. I struggled to host this, didn't realize how difficult it was. Now I have new respect for the greats like Tim Ferriss and Rogan as hosts. I did read Magnus's entire book before this interview though with lots of notes, and have been friends with him for years, so that helped a bit LOL! Appreciate the kindness my friend!
@@jujimufu It's really difficult to put into words what makes a good interviewer, but first and foremost, you weren't a stranger and helped Magnus share everything about him and his book in 55 minutes. His life journey and the little things like Magnus opening up about Playstation problems. haha. But, the interview was personal, and I felt like I got to know Magnus and learn from his expertise. And thats part of the reason to watch an intervjue with somebody, they got a unique perspective and expertise. You achieved that! Very often, interviewers interrupt the person being interviewed to explain something, and in doing so, they lose the thread of the conversation. I often feel it would be better to simply read the person's book, and not watch more of an interview. It just messes it up. I am Norwegian and have read Magnus' book, and I have never seen a better interviewer than you. I hope you continue with this. One thing that would be really exciting would be if you wrote a book. And maybe even an interview where you are the one who tells about your journey, but it has to be done by someone who can do interviews. Because it's not easy to conduct an interview; you need good questions and a consistent thread throughout the conversation. Asking questions is not for amateurs. You did it better than Joe Rogen!
@@jujimufu You were a really good host, actually never seen this side ot you (only the usual "madness" you do :) ). I think a podcast would be amazing, maybe you already have started one, just landed here :). Love from Sweden.
i always liked your collabs with him the most because I watch him as well and he seems to be sort of old youtube like you where there is a small number of people like just one editor and maybe a cameraman and with a certain personality
It's amazing to watch Magnus climb. But more than anything, I've been blown away by Magnus's ability to focus and commit his body to whatever he's doing. He's damn strong, but more than just being strong, he's a great example of how powerful mind-muscle connection and willpower can be in maximizing performance.
I especially loved reading the parts in his book about him training in his bedroom at night doing tons and tons and tons of ab work every night in his parents house no matter what.
Hearing you talk about tricking Juji, really makes me miss my tricking days. Spending hours at night in the available open gyms, fighting ants in the soccer fields, and sneaking in sessions between my cheer/tumble coaching. I am thankful for all the years I was in tricking, I didn't meet many trickers, but I made many friends through tumbling and college cheer. I'm grateful for all your sharing of information in the 2000s on trickstutorials and through youtube. Your tutorials not only helped me, but it also helped others around me such as my students, fellow tumblers, and other coaches. Thank you for all that you do.
Thanks for the thoughtful and kind response Jodenc. I miss tricking too. I took a fork in the road when I peaked in that sport to pursue my own thing, and continued gaining weight, getting older, and losing skills. My arsenal is a fraction of what it used to be but I'm grateful for what it taught me about my relation to training, my body and life. Happy to see a fellow trickster here. And definitely relate to the late night open gym sessions, fire ants, getting kicked off fields (again and again and again), being a grass connoisseur, and all of the above! Thanks for hanging around! And coincidentally I have Yuri Marmerstien and Justin Carney swinging by this weekend to film a kind of "tricking video" for this channel. Video will be done in July sometime. Gonna try to learn some old man moves. ;-)
I love the friendship of these two. They are both polyathletes who have a great appreciation for what other people can accomplish or accel at. Both are amazing in their own fields of pursuit, but they can still genuinely appreciate people who may not be as "good" as them at what THEY do, but show their ability in ways they're less familiar with.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Not just the content but the atmosphere of the conversation. I've started watching videos at increased speed to make information consumption more efficient but I watched this at normal speed all the way through. Thank you.
I dug the "Not a Podcast" Podcast Juji, fun and interesting marketing with the name. I think you should continue this, perhaps next a strongman is in order?
It's crazy to finally hear someone talk about the way athletics can drive eating disorders (maybe I've just been in the wrong space to find that lol). It's so real to hear Magnus say that he looked to the body type of his peers and thought he needed to look the same. The second I got boobs and the other athlete girlies didn't, it really fucked me up. Eating was no longer fuel, it was evil and would ruin my chances to be a good athlete ✊😔
If you could only hear his voice, Juji sounds like he wears glasses and sells life insurance. Visually, Juji looks like the reason you need life insurance. Absolutely love your channel and every Magnus collab!
I've only ever seen Juji on Magnus' channel. This was a great chat and I'm impressed by how well spoken they both are. Interesting topics as well. With regards getting older and grading down, I'm a few months off turning 65 and still improving my climbing grades after starting a couple of years ago. Of course I'll never be elite but it's nice to know at my age you can still improve. Currently at 23/23 (@6c/7a I think). If I can nudge up a grade or two I'll be pleased but I'm more happy that I found something I really enjoy and both my kids climb with me.
Honestly wish Juji did have a podcast, it's always interesting hearing people speak on things that they never would have in a video if it weren't for something like this.
And those are a lot of what he is for sure. That is an aspect of his personality that he cultivates and makes the money. However, I think a lot of people, younger people especially, could benefit from knowing that they can also be more nuanced without losing the fun. A lot of it just comes with age tbh
Great to hear magnus talking about weight challenges as a climber. I'm the same now that I've broken the v9 ceiling, weight and strength has become an obsession. Finding the right diet and still being able to enjoy food and life is really hard.
Have I really just sat for almost an hour, watching two guys on a sofa having a chat? It appears I have. Enjoyed every minute of it too. A bit sad that Magnus seemed more enthusiastic about cameras than climbing though
I found Juji from his tricking videos, his tornado 540 kick was a video that made me subscribe. When Juji brought mangus in his videos that's when I got interested again in his videos. You two should remain lifelong friends. You're both really genuine nice guys. Respect.
The main thing here is Juji dont understand that rock climbing is highly technical sport and there are not much crossing points with lifting except general understanding of training and approach. Tricking is closer in terms of technique. There are levels in sports. I can say bodybuilding is the most overestimated sport and compared to other highly technical sports is really dumb. Sure lifting requires technique but far less in general than most sports. Also lifting is highly repetitive and the moves are far less than most sports and not as important.
I need more content with the both of you. You both are so humble and have great chemistry together even though yall come from totally separate worlds. It's cool to see. Don't wait another 4 years to make it happen again
This is incredible Juji, im fifteen minutes into it and im alredy loving it. Such a good insight into magnus as a persona and not magnus midtbo the climber. It feels human and flows naturally, and that is as good as it can get at least for me and surely for a lot of people.
I have watched magnus for 5 years and currently I am 13 and have loved climbing from before I watched his videos and the first climbing video I ever watched was one of magnus and this video was really touching and it showed me how harsh dieting can be
I am a huge fan but, I must confess that I've been somewhat disconnected from recent developments, and I'm genuinely interested in Magnus's book that appears to be unavailable for purchase. Despite my effort, I haven't been able to uncover any information about it other than it was published and it is not listed for sell anywhere. Why is his book no longer available? Was it ever available? Will it ever be available again?
Great non-podcast! Really enjoyed it. Question; do you still keep up with tricking? Do you follow the "top dogs" and know about the new tricks being landed? Wondering because I've said good bye to serious tricking a long time ago but havent been able to kick the habbit of wanting to see all the coolest moves and samplers haha. It's so crazy to see how the sport is STILL evolving so rapidly and how the entire game seems to change every 3-5years.
A bit the opposite of you. I don't keep up with the tricking world at all anymore and haven't for a long time. But I still do some of the moves I like to do and keep an eye out for "low hanging fruit" type tricks I can still try to dabble in at my weight, age and with the wear and tear I have. I genuinely enjoy spending time with tricksters at gatherings though and would like to go to them more often just to hang out. Love that culture.
As someone who grew watching parkour/tricking videos since 2006, got into parkour and then into climbing around 2014 (more specifically Bouldering), due to it's simillarities (dynos, hanging traverses, etc) it's só interesting to see this talk from 2 people Which i ve known for years!
Well Magnus and Juji, you guys have really raised the bar for content. The conversational way that you and Magnus talk about heavy topics is fantastic.
I'm not a rock climber nor am I a body builder. I just like watching both of the activities on youtube haha. I was a fan of both these two before they met. I love the collabs.
4:45 Also...maybe rock climbing should have been my athletic pursuit when I was younger. I grew from 5'6 78lbs to 6'2 135lbs between end of middle school and Freshman year of high school. Before I started working out to fill out my frame I was always a string bean (and still am) with considerable strength to bodyweight. It's why at 14 I was already able to throw a 65 yard football and a 87mph fastball. With very long limbs, my back being my one genetic strong point (I pulled 310kg at 195lbs) maybe climbing should have been my athletic pursuit. I only wish when I was 15 youtube was a thing and inspirational people like Juji and Magnus were available to me.
So great to see you guys together again! You always seem to learn so much from each other, and I wish I could be in the room for these conversations! I'm a rock climber myself, but I got my start in the tricking/parkour side of things, so I find myself identifying a lot with both of your perspectives. I've met Juji once in Toronto for a "Grip Gauntlet", but never Magnus. I hope to see you guys around in the future!
This was such a chill conversation you had, I enjoyed every minute of it. Felt like I was sitting right next to you in a (slightly old fashioned) living room after a workout, relaxing and just listening. Thanks, Juji!
What I wonder is how climbers like Magnus can afford to travel to different places and climb there, without a job or anything. Anyone got some insights on this?
He's doing very well on TH-cam, has ownership and partnerships with at least 3 groups, and is probably one of the most frugal people I've collabed with overall. So that's how he affords this.
Top climbers are usually sponsored by companies like NorthFace, La Sportiva, etc or they might get some stipend from their country's sports ministry. Otherwise, I assume they work some type of job to save up for climbing trips. Most climbers seem to be very frugal anyway, it's not a sport that attracts people who want a glamorous lifestyle.
This was by far the most interesting "not a" podcast i've heard in a long time. Im looking forward to the next episode of what is definitely not a podcast. Would be a great one but as we all agreed... IT IS NOT.
This gives me old school youtube vibes, just watching people have fun, no rush, no skipping through, I wish I could go back to watching content like this
I just want to say Magnus you are truly awesome you are a awesome athlete youtuber and as far as I can say you are an awesome person. Juji you are of course also awesome and I really do like the collabs between you 2 guys, but for me magnus is just next level
I actually started rock climbing around 4-5 years ago after watching your first videos with Magnus, and I'm still going strong. Hearing of his struggles after dropping weight was interesting, because I'm still primarily a weight lifter rather than a climber, so I'm heavier than "good climbers", and was thinking about losing weight myself to hopefully help me start climbing V8 consistently. I'll stick to getting stronger rather than lighter!
I think the takeaway would be: don't go below where your body naturally falls from specific training for your sport. If you were to focus on climbing for a year and drop/reduce heavy weight training, you would likely lose weight and that wouldn't be a health or performance issue. The issue comes when someone then decides to try to loose even more weight by starving themselves.
@@PorklionThat's an important distinction. If you're big and muscular, then you'd get a lot of progress in clilbing just by losing muscle in your legs, for instance. Making a distinction between functional muscle and muscle that isn't functional is important. If you're climber than you want to be as light as possible, so any muscle that doesn't help you climb better will be detrimental. Pros go so extreme that they will even mimise walking up when projecting. I haven't heard this podcast episode yet, but I've heard Magnus talk about it, so I'd imagine he mentions it. And then there's the point about climbers being as light as possible. There's a saying in climbing that goes like this: "it's easier to get a kg lighter than a kg stronger"
If you are climbing because you enjoy it, don't do the crazy weight cutting stuff it's very bad for your health if you look at fighters some of them up dead, in hospital or with life long organ damage from weight cutting. Find a group of friends near your skill level and a bit better and have a good time. If you have to win competitions to feed your family people go a bit extreme.
I've been looking for a Magnus podcast and finding an interview by you Juji is such a gem! My only feedback: You'd ask Magnus a question and then when he'd be ready to answer, you'd continue explaining the question. I wish you would let him talk a bit more.
Loved that book. Left it in ky classroom and a few students borrowed it and one even came to boulder with me after reading it. Thank you Juji for this "pod". Excellent stuff!
"That doesn't make you want to speed run a wall man?". That made me laugh. I really liked this not a pod cast. You have done something like this before right? If not, you should.
I met one of magnus's father's school friend here in Chattanooga at a popular swimming hole. He is as quality as magnus and it makes sense because they are from the same village. It is amazing how small this world is and how much we can experience through others testimonies
Calisthenics/jiujitsu/climber/movement obsessed human here. This is exactly the duo I want to hear having real conversations. You've both had a big influence on my athletic training. #StartThePod
I obviously know less than Magnus, but I do think that times have changed with the numbers he’s talking about. Competition climbing tends to be much more physical than it used to be and if you look up height and weights of pro climbers, most of them hover in the range of 150 lbs. Of course there are heavier and lighter people on the spectrum but some of the best climbers in the world are significantly heavier than Magnus even at his current weight
Thanks juji, i follow both you and magnus both now. I find you both inspiring. Because of you i found devon and renewed my interest in that as well. Too much to type it all here. Thank you for your content and the parts of you you share. I feel the same way about Magnus and Devon as well. I hope to some day meet each of you.
Jujimufu get some uncommon motherfers on here and go for the pod man your good at picking minds and being open minded, your hub grip kicks ass too thanks man.
I think we actually need a juji podcast. Would be cool to see interviews with people that do other types of extreme sports or hobbies related to strength and fitness. Juji just has such a chill, I'm best friends with everyone type of vibe and I dig it.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a TH-camr actually say that they want to be careful of what they say about food/weight/eating disorders because of the kids following them. So much respect for that statement.
basically the opposite of the body positivity movement
It's slowly coming out more and more, but there's a really dark underbelly in climbing with eating disorders.
@@defaultstate4536I don't think so. The idea behind the movement is to feel good in your body and don't judge others for their body. So being sensitive about that topic is one of the main goals the movement wants to accomplish... Getting rid of glorifying super low weight is one of the main goals.

I've met Juji once in Toronto for a "Grip Gauntlet", but never Magnus. I hope to see you guys around in the future!
Magnus must be going to Arco!
Not many people are saying this, but I know we are all thinking it... Magnus is just so personable! Just hearing him talk is so interesting!
Juji youu should definitely have a podcast. Your one of the better minds in the fitness world.
Oooh I'd love if podcast becomes a thing YEAAASSS
This was such a chill conversation you had, I enjoyed every minute of it.
Felt like I was sitting right next to you in a (slightly old fashioned) living room after a workout, relaxing and just listening.
Thanks, Juji!
Now Juji needs podcast and call it "Not a podcast"
Daydreaming about what you love, makes you champion!
What I wonder is how climbers like Magnus can afford to travel to different places and climb there, without a job or anything. Anyone got some insights on this?
He's doing very well on TH-cam, has ownership and partnerships with at least 3 groups, and is probably one of the most frugal people I've collabed with overall. So that's how he affords this.
Top climbers are usually sponsored by companies like NorthFace, La Sportiva, etc or they might get some stipend from their country's sports ministry. Otherwise, I assume they work some type of job to save up for climbing trips. Most climbers seem to be very frugal anyway, it's not a sport that attracts people who want a glamorous lifestyle.
This was by far the most interesting "not a" podcast i've heard in a long time. Im looking forward to the next episode of what is definitely not a podcast. Would be a great one but as we all agreed... IT IS NOT.
This gives me old school youtube vibes, just watching people have fun, no rush, no skipping through, I wish I could go back to watching content like this
I just want to say Magnus you are truly awesome you are a awesome athlete youtuber and as far as I can say you are an awesome person. Juji you are of course also awesome and I really do like the collabs between you 2 guys, but for me magnus is just next level
what does Magnus mean with his book is not for sale? Can we not purchase his book?
I’m generally not a guy who watches long videos (30+ minutes) but I’m loving this talk. (another addicted climber here)
Awesome first podcast. I m not a podcast person but really enjoyed this one.
I actually started rock climbing around 4-5 years ago after watching your first videos with Magnus, and I'm still going strong. Hearing of his struggles after dropping weight was interesting, because I'm still primarily a weight lifter rather than a climber, so I'm heavier than "good climbers", and was thinking about losing weight myself to hopefully help me start climbing V8 consistently. I'll stick to getting stronger rather than lighter!
The distinction you need to make is getting stronger at climbing rather than generally stronger (bench press/squat..etc.)
I think the takeaway would be: don't go below where your body naturally falls from specific training for your sport. If you were to focus on climbing for a year and drop/reduce heavy weight training, you would likely lose weight and that wouldn't be a health or performance issue. The issue comes when someone then decides to try to loose even more weight by starving themselves.
@@PorklionThat's an important distinction. If you're big and muscular, then you'd get a lot of progress in clilbing just by losing muscle in your legs, for instance. Making a distinction between functional muscle and muscle that isn't functional is important. If you're climber than you want to be as light as possible, so any muscle that doesn't help you climb better will be detrimental. Pros go so extreme that they will even mimise walking up when projecting. I haven't heard this podcast episode yet, but I've heard Magnus talk about it, so I'd imagine he mentions it.
And then there's the point about climbers being as light as possible. There's a saying in climbing that goes like this: "it's easier to get a kg lighter than a kg stronger"
@Finnspin_unicycles
LOSE. Not "loose" ffs 😖
If you are climbing because you enjoy it, don't do the crazy weight cutting stuff it's very bad for your health if you look at fighters some of them up dead, in hospital or with life long organ damage from weight cutting.
Find a group of friends near your skill level and a bit better and have a good time. If you have to win competitions to feed your family people go a bit extreme.
Just amazing! Very intresting, regards from Spain
I love the setup. Old comfy couch, microphones in hands. Mix on table.
Great job with sectioning off the video with the questions labeled
Do a collab with Magnus Carlsen, Magnus Mitbo and Magnus VerMagnussen.!!!
A perfect trifecta of Magnus
I've been looking for a Magnus podcast and finding an interview by you Juji is such a gem! My only feedback:
You'd ask Magnus a question and then when he'd be ready to answer, you'd continue explaining the question. I wish you would let him talk a bit more.
Instant like+comment for the boiz
"What you think about at night, that's what you'll progress at" _Oh no_
Loved that book. Left it in ky classroom and a few students borrowed it and one even came to boulder with me after reading it. Thank you Juji for this "pod". Excellent stuff!
Think about Magnus stone looking hands hitting someone 😂
Great podcast man love revisiting your Chanel once in a while you really have a wholesome and chill vibe
Would love to have both of y'all to come try my sport
Didn’t expect this crossover and I’m all here for it!
You didn’t lol? They’ve been doing collabs for years
@@theoctaneshop6167tbf. It's been a couple of years since their last collab do any new follower likely wouldn't know.
@@theoctaneshop6167weirdly enough I only seen Juji’s lifting videos and Magnus’s climbing videos but never them together…guess I missed out haha
Hi Juji! Great "not a podcast"! Waiting for podcast with Anton Fomenko))
Loved watching this. I have been following both Juji and Magnus for a long time as a fellow rock climber I appreciate this content! Thanks guyd
I think this is the first time I've ever seen Magnus sit down
Juji ❤❤❤ podcast!! Listening now 💪💥
Magnus neeeds to do BJJ with Joe Rogan
This is awesome , full of little tid bits and hearing your guys’ real story is dope.
This was great. Love the vulnerability to speak so open from both of you. 10/10 would watch you talk like this with other athletes.
I found out about Juji because he had Martins in a video.......and following Juji is how I found out about Magnus.
"That doesn't make you want to speed run a wall man?". That made me laugh. I really liked this not a pod cast. You have done something like this before right? If not, you should.
I met one of magnus's father's school friend here in Chattanooga at a popular swimming hole. He is as quality as magnus and it makes sense because they are from the same village. It is amazing how small this world is and how much we can experience through others testimonies
This was a really insightful conversation. Thanks for sharing!
Calisthenics/jiujitsu/climber/movement obsessed human here. This is exactly the duo I want to hear having real conversations.
You've both had a big influence on my athletic training.
#StartThePod
magnus your hair looks so good like this dude
I obviously know less than Magnus, but I do think that times have changed with the numbers he’s talking about. Competition climbing tends to be much more physical than it used to be and if you look up height and weights of pro climbers, most of them hover in the range of 150 lbs. Of course there are heavier and lighter people on the spectrum but some of the best climbers in the world are significantly heavier than Magnus even at his current weight
These two are great because they are so honest.
Thanks juji, i follow both you and magnus both now. I find you both inspiring. Because of you i found devon and renewed my interest in that as well. Too much to type it all here. Thank you for your content and the parts of you you share. I feel the same way about Magnus and Devon as well. I hope to some day meet each of you.
Sony A7SIV confirmed by Magnus 😯. Haha, can't wait for that camera to come out too though 🤫
Love the stripped down long format chat
Absolutely love the candid nature of this chat, lots of great messages.
That was a very interesting conversation between two awesome people.
Jujimufu get some uncommon motherfers on here and go for the pod man your good at picking minds and being open minded, your hub grip kicks ass too thanks man.
I think we actually need a juji podcast. Would be cool to see interviews with people that do other types of extreme sports or hobbies related to strength and fitness. Juji just has such a chill, I'm best friends with everyone type of vibe and I dig it.
Loved this conversation
It's funny. I was just thinking that Juji and Magnus needed a more relaxed atmosphere in their videos. And wallah!
I love how the podcast is sponsored by you!
Magnus is such a treasure
Please do more of these, especially with Magnus😍
