No Juji competed in many ironmind events already. He knows the difference. He’s touched an IM BB way more times than I have and I know the difference. We can give the benefit of the doubt as he was a great guy in person.... but he should edit his video to give the credit to Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you personally he was a very friendly guy when we all competed in Philly. I hope that if he realizes his error he will give Lucas Raymond the credit for the device in the title. It’s like me saying a titan fitness axle is an iron minds axle . The world would be in an uproar calling me out as a faker or anyone else that did it ! The credit given where it’s due... especially if claiming such a high weight was lifted on a Device that wasn’t said device in question. Am I wrong? I’m sure Juji will rectify it.

I would need to rewatch the video. But @temmmeeee saw it too. There is definitely an AA sticker somewhere. I guess John probably placed it there himself. I like John a lot so unless he comes out and says anything, I am going to assume that with all the excitement there was an oversight. Whatever haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was nice to everyone equally at the Philly expo. That’s why I’m hoping it was just an oversight. Seemed like a genuine good dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the tragic thing with youtube celebrities, or any type of celebrities. They are only out to get money and fame and that's the only thing they care about. I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement - it partly depends on how you define celebrity, but if your definition catches the likes of Jujimufu then if you meet these people in person, more often that not you'll find that they are genuinely passionate about whatever it is that they are known for and that although they may use tactics to increase their audience (it's a competitive world, you basically have to play to game if you want to reach a large audience) and they might make use of sponsorships/endorsements, I think it's totally disproportionate to insinuate that money and fame are the only things they care about. Let's say the video title was a deliberate ploy (I doubt it, 99.9% of people don't know the difference or care, you have to remember that this is a very niche forum as Matt pointed out), even if that was the case, if YouTube or Instagram is your main or a significant source of your revenue, then it is literally your job to get views. In the same way you could say that someone who works a 9 - 5 at a desk job they don't really like and then works out/spends time with friends/family in the evening and at the weekend "only cares about money" because they spend most of their time doing something that is solely in the pursuit of financial reward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the business element of YouTube, do you really think that we would have got to see a Norweigan pro climber fly across the world to stay with a US bodybuilder/strength enthusiast and play with a bunch of grip toys in HD with nice editing? I don't understand why people are so against others making money from YouTube, especially when, in so many cases, it enhances their core content by means of better equipment, money and time to do interesting things both in the videos and in editing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I’m against is stating a certain product is a product it’s not. Or stating something is a world record when it’s not, and was dragged up the body making the lift totally not a legal lift . I don’t care who cares about what implements are what, what I do care about is the truth and sticking to rules, regardless of how many people may get exposed to something obscure. Call me a purist if you will. I am not one that likes to sacrifice reality for some possible exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that would happen or not. If I had to make a guess, yes I think it would happen. But that's just what I think. And you don't know what would happen either. Also I clearly stated that YouTube is a great thing. I have nothing against people making money, not at all. In fact I think it's great if a person can make money by doing something they are really passionate about. What I am against is making money only for the sake of making money and putting that above everything else. I prefer honest and sincere people, not people who put money above everything else. This video has a clickbait title (and it's not honest), I stand by that to the day I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland spring water wasn’t the subject of the video... now if it was and he called it Aquafina that’s misrepresentation of a product . The title stated “was this a world record “on an ironmind blockbuster, and it was not that product, it was Lucas Raymond’s pinch block from arm assassins. How people don’t get that it’s not the product being displayed is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
