got alot of back logged videos but watching some now & just wanted to say DAMMMM you have grown so fucking much from were you where didnt think you could get bigger. love all the work. keep it up :D
As someone new to strength sports that's building up my home gym, I love the choice of people you collaborate with. Showcasing folks like Brian here and Mike Bartos, positive people and a much better alternative than instagram/tiktok fitness influencer types. Keep it up!
Appreciate that you appreciate these folks as much as I do. There are a lot of extremely wise, interesting, clever, amazing, super hard working people on this planet who have a fraction of the followers some people have. It's kind of sad we've come to too quickly rate people based on their sub/follower count these days.
@@jujimufu You’re a real one, man. Love your work, your passion, your channel, and how you put the spotlight onto great people in this field who are lesser-known. Thank you for everything.
@@jujimufu Absolutely, it also shows that he cared about something and made his solution for it and actually cares about the use that people can get from it. Which is not the usual in today's world where most things are made solely to make money.
I agree I'm very old and decrepit but I love belt squats! I'm a big Pit Shark fan but I want to check out one of these! Looks like it achieves a similar result with a much smaller piece of equipment.
@@misled7847 Are you actually stupid? I never said thats all I did, I do a multitude of different exercises to hit all the muscles in my legs I just said that deadlifts and leg extensions are my favorite. Read a little more carefully before you reply next time buddy. Also, deadlifts are not an exclusively back exercise. If you think deadlifts are a back exercise you’ve definitely been doing them wrong.
@@misled7847 deadlift is primarily a leg exercise, your legs are what’s driving the weight up. Either way, it can be done on a leg day or back day. Why do you have to be such a hater?
@@1TieDye1 Aside from the belt adjustment for depth, I'm pretty sure he was thinking about the explosiveness the band tension creates. Key for the 2nd pull and bar height. Also Seal rows are a big accessory for O lifters so the ability to do those is helpful
Been doing Wenning Warmups for a while and traction based movements like this and reverse hypers are absolutely key to getting stronger without accumulating damage!
You want to know how you can tell a channel is legit right away? Check the quality of the top comments... Never heard of Wenning Warmups before but I'm super intrigued. Thank you for dropping knowledge in this comment!
Brian is a great dude and it’s so exciting to see the SquatMax getting more and more traction and getting adopted and shared by influential folks in the lifting community.
That looks like a great tool. If I could still use my legs I would definitely have to try one out. Good luck on stage Juji, I believe you have what it takes to get your pro card.
I've always wanted a belt squat machine in my home gym but couldn't commit to any on the market. This looks great and doesn't take up much of a footprint. Glad to see Travis again and Mr. Henesey seems like a solid dude.
Juji arms are looking massively improved since the last time I remember seeing him! Wow well done sir! Your physique looks so much more complete with larger bi's and tri's!
Yeah when I do barbell squats, mostly my upper back and my hip flexors get sore, maybe my adductors yet not so much my quads. My hip flexors get sore because Dr Stefi Cohen talked about their leverage and stability access when using them to pull yourself down into a squat, vs fighting gravity
Fascinating machine! It looks incredibly versatile too, I want to see its different functions in more videos, are they good? Weighted push ups look awesome!!
Surprised to see the variations this machine can deliver with high focus on functional lifting with true purpose and meaning. Now I need this for my garage gym.
Just purchased one at $150 off sale, you guy's convinced me... Thanks! I hope I love it, my lower back has been getting sore from my squat workouts, and also feeling sore in my shoulders.
Wow, I've seen this machine before but just breezed past it. It looks amazing though and after watching this I would choose this one just to support Brian. Gotta love that genuine excitement he has for his creation! Time to start putting money in the pickle jar for this machine 💰
I've seen them. Haven't tried them or spent much time thinking on how it will "fit" in with my goals yet. I'd try the Kabuki one first when I dip my toes in the flywheel market.
I know I'm late to this vid but I got my Squatmax a few years ago so I could still do something for my legs after I had shoulder surgery. Love this machine and it's been a staple of my routines for years.
I love my Titan Squat Max MD. It's harder than squats when I first got it failed on 8th rep at 120lbs now doing 250lbs for 8-10 reps. Added 3 inches to legs in 4-5 months this thing works and great way to add leg volume and not tire out back and hips. Small footprint too compared to Rhino.
i really want one of these at my local gym as i cant squat very easy due to long femurs, sciatica and lordosis. i can always leg press and lunge so much weight compared to my squats as i feel my back wants to give up when i get to a certain weight its like suddenly feeling double heavy.
This would have made the world of difference for me in college. Dealt with back problems my entire collegiate career which really slowed my squat development.
This machine looks legit if I wasn’t so broke I get one lol but I put some foam or rubber on the lock out handles a face smash to them corners is all I can imagine lol
Sincere see your question: how does this differ biomechanically from the leg press? I mean specifically in so far as it relates to the legs? Obviously with a leg press your whole back is supported by the machine, but how does that affect the leg movement? Thank you. I love your content .
He doesn’t even realize they’re helping him make a commercial for his product. Which weirdly enough is a testament to how much this guy actually made something just to help people.
Hey guys! Brian wants to giveaway a SquatMax to ONE OF YOU! Go to my Instagram @jujimufu and go to my most recent post to enter to win!
Juji popo keep it up
got alot of back logged videos but watching some now & just wanted to say DAMMMM you have grown so fucking much from were you where didnt think you could get bigger. love all the work. keep it up :D
Collaberate With Atlaspowershrugged having that guy on as a guest on your channel would be awesome check his instagram thats where he is most active

This machine is great I’ve had two back surgeries can’t barbell squat anymore but i use the squat max in my small home gym. It’s perfect
I agree I'm very old and decrepit but I love belt squats! I'm a big Pit Shark fan but I want to check out one of these! Looks like it achieves a similar result with a much smaller piece of equipment.
Sam is always such a welcome presence in these videos. Great insights and such positivity! Love seeing y’all thriving together
yeah and he is natty af, not even on tren :=)
You mean to tell me I have MORE exercises to do on my favorite day of the week, leg day!?! Thank you Juji and Brian! Haha
Leg day is so fun idky people hate it. Doing deadlifts and leg extensions are my fav
@@coke8077 wow, deadlifts (a back exercise) & leg extension (accessories) ofc its fun for you, youre barely training legs!

imagine unironically calling deadlifts a back exercise🤣🤣 your username fits at least though
I love how enthusiastic he is about his product. That is pretty amazing 10 years into it!
Coop from garage gym reviews has said he likes the feel of this squatmax piece compared to the other belt squats out there.
I dont even know who this guy is but he's the best keep finding these 💎. Colabs with interesting people =algorithmic magic.
Juji gives media and attention to the real unsung heroes in the strength game. It’s amazing, grateful for it.
I can see this having massive potential with Olympic lifts. What an incredible machine.
Isn't the range of motion too short for that? You'd need to go ass to grass to prepare for Olympic lifts
@@gaston6814 agreed. You can barely hit parallel with a wide stance on this thing
@@1TieDye1 ass to grass is not an issue. The belt has 7 adjustment points every 2 inches. And it also has a narrow stance option.

That 'standing here i realise' moment was so on point
Brian has an incredible story and has made an awesome machine!
Best belt squat period!!!! Have been using mine for over two years!! Thanks for sharing the love on this device Juji!!
Can't wait to keep using mine! I just know it's going to play a role in ncreasing my squat some more in the next few years!
Love how enthusiastic he is about his own product. 😊 Very nice person!

Jujis shoulders are just ridiculous, amazing work
Juji arms are looking massively improved since the last time I remember seeing him! Wow well done sir! Your physique looks so much more complete with larger bi's and tri's!
Looks like an awesome exercise
Brian is such a genuine dude. Awesome to see you 2 together
Yeah when I do barbell squats, mostly my upper back and my hip flexors get sore, maybe my adductors yet not so much my quads. My hip flexors get sore because Dr Stefi Cohen talked about their leverage and stability access when using them to pull yourself down into a squat, vs fighting gravity
I did belt squats as my main leg movement this past winter bulk. They're FANTASTIC, esp if you have a fucked up back like me.
They're a super tool for strategizing your training. Honestly one of the best things that can happen to anyone's squat/leg workouts.
I live down the street from Brian’s gym and I met him in person to purchase a squat max what a nice and genuine dude
The machine is fantastic too I use it for all my leg days now
What a wholesome guy.
Brian is clearly just a hell of a good dude, love his energy and love how much he cares!
He's such a nice and genuine person, we need more people like him.
I have one of these; its a great a machine. Great video.
Damn and seal rows? I need this for my house. I need a house also.
LMAO
This mashine is amazing
Fascinating machine! It looks incredibly versatile too, I want to see its different functions in more videos, are they good? Weighted push ups look awesome!!
I'm about to build a home gym just so I can support this dude. Great video Juji.
Great video Juji have a nice day thanks for sharing your videos 💪🏻
Thank you! You too!
Terrific product! Great video!
this is an awesome piece of gym equip !!!
Bought one before this video even finished.
That's a nice bit of equipment.
This guy is super enthusiastic about this machine. I want one.
Let's track jujis peach circumference over time with this machine!
This is great! I've been eye-balling this for some time. definitely will save some space (and money lol) for this!
Great video!! I love this guy's passion for training and his machine.
This was such a nice video! Go juji go squat max!
Surprised to see the variations this machine can deliver with high focus on functional lifting with true purpose and meaning. Now I need this for my garage gym.
I love that he's wearing crocs!!!
Just purchased one at $150 off sale, you guy's convinced me... Thanks!
I hope I love it, my lower back has been getting sore from my squat workouts, and also feeling sore in my shoulders.
Awesome product. One of the first things we will be buying for our home gym. Love how humble Brian was.
12:54 I'm going to search for a gym with one for sure, until I buy one for myself.
What a sweet man...who could tear my arms off like Beowulf lol. That is one helluva dence 50+ year old. Machine looks fantastic.
He's dense all over. Dude trains hard all the time for his whole life you can tell.
What an amazing opportunity and compliment from him!
I’ve looked at this thing a lot. One of those things I’d love to get eventually. Love the idea of the row attachment as well.
Invaluable! Was looking hard for a great alternative leg wrecker
Wow, I've seen this machine before but just breezed past it. It looks amazing though and after watching this I would choose this one just to support Brian. Gotta love that genuine excitement he has for his creation! Time to start putting money in the pickle jar for this machine 💰
I have done a ton of these using a dip belt standing on a large tire, a great finishing movement for reps.
Juji, please look into the gym equipment called "FlyWheel", it's a brilliant thing, especially for arms and squats
I've seen them. Haven't tried them or spent much time thinking on how it will "fit" in with my goals yet. I'd try the Kabuki one first when I dip my toes in the flywheel market.
My boys actually want one thank you for sharing this with us
If juji opened his gym it would still be one of the best public gyms
This thing looks awesome!
We have a Rogue cable squat machine in our gym. It's a lifesaver for a guy like me who can no longer squat because of my back.
Seems like a really great machine! 💪
I wish I had a belt squat. I love to back squat for mobility but it's not a great leg builder.
Sam watches so much JackPGM lmao
True. True...
What a brilliant machine. Safe squats and more glute activation. Brilliant.
Brian is so nice. I love him
Very cool product.
I saw you in some rugby video
Found you funny
So I subscribed 😉
I know I'm late to this vid but I got my Squatmax a few years ago so I could still do something for my legs after I had shoulder surgery. Love this machine and it's been a staple of my routines for years.
You may not know this but Sam is actually holding onto the monopod at the bottom to get that average high perspective.
4:58 juji's shoulders are looking crazy
What a great addition to your gym. Wish I could afford one. Added to my adulting wishlist.
I love my Titan Squat Max MD. It's harder than squats when I first got it failed on 8th rep at 120lbs now doing 250lbs for 8-10 reps. Added 3 inches to legs in 4-5 months this thing works and great way to add leg volume and not tire out back and hips. Small footprint too compared to Rhino.
This was a interesting episode.👍👍
Brian is such a cool guy.
pretty cool. i've been resting dumb bells on my hips and thighs to finish my squats. would be nice to have a belt like that to squat heavier weights
If I got a machine for my apt, it would be a belt squat machine
Great video
Hey legit, NASA needs a good way to keep their astronauts strong and I could see a variation of this working for that
Liked the video 7 seconds after in!
Awesome!
Juji's shoulders looking swole af in that singlet farck
this looks like an amazing machine. awesome!
i really want one of these at my local gym as i cant squat very easy due to long femurs, sciatica and lordosis. i can always leg press and lunge so much weight compared to my squats as i feel my back wants to give up when i get to a certain weight its like suddenly feeling double heavy.
This would have made the world of difference for me in college. Dealt with back problems my entire collegiate career which really slowed my squat development.
Hey I live in PA
I own the squat max md
I 100% believe the only two leg movements you need are the squat max md and nordic curls.
8:31 his bicep is actually bigger than juji's, damn.
This machine looks legit if I wasn’t so broke I get one lol but I put some foam or rubber on the lock out handles a face smash to them corners is all I can imagine lol
I've worked 2 days in my whole life I guarentee I'd be able to do atleast 315 I'd not more
Juji, your shouders are exploding.
Sincere see your question: how does this differ biomechanically from the leg press? I mean specifically in so far as it relates to the legs? Obviously with a leg press your whole back is supported by the machine, but how does that affect the leg movement? Thank you. I love your content .

I'm getting a Mick's gym shirt.
I've actually something similar on my gym. Nice. :)
I’ve got squats today but also have covid so it should be fun
For all those who want to know the origins of the machine, look up George Barker Windship.
13:20 wow.
Is it possible to squat all the way down weightlifting style with that machine.
Yes
I swore I saw them do reverse hyper extensions for your lower back with this but cannot find the video anywhere. Am I mistaken?
That dude's arms are so big from spotting people and loading the weights on that machine lol
