I’m honored. That was a very special day. Thank you Sam and Juji for taking the time to come train with our community here in Central Park! 🤙
Love your training philosophy! Very interesting and motivating.
Your biceps and lower pecs are awesome. Love your philosophy too. Keep it up man.
Godspeed!
Absolutely awesome mate! Keep it up! 💪🙂👍
I remember you from the guy who says “do deez” Broly Gainz and his pals (Gok pump) working out in the outdoor gym area. It’s good to see you still doing your thing! ✌️
Joe is the man!!!
You're the man
Keeping it fresh
Juji, your hairline is coming back in strong. Did you decide to go on Finasteride to lower DHT? Whats your aftercare proceedure..
Train with me im the real life daredevil I m 80;percent blind and use a Cain through the gym and still more physically capable than 96 percent of people would like to show u I'm not joking
💪💪👍👍🔥💯
No joke. I think the world would be a better place if we thought more like Joe. What an inspiration.
Was called too old at 50! Started training in crumbling garage doing basic bodyweight exercises got ripped af at 53 years old!!!
Proving it on your channel garageman brutal training keep it up grandpa💪
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Do you want a medal? Post your results on KZhead.
@@MostAlphalook it up, he has a channel
@@MostAlpha he has
Joe's positivity is off the charts! Seems like an awesome human to be around. Motivational x100. LOVE it!
Thanks for featuring Central Park Joe. I follow him on YT and as I am 65 years of age, he's a great inspiration to me.
What a wholesome human! You could really tell he was a genuine, good guy. Lots of wisdom, I'm sure.
Working out outside the gym is extremely refreshing
Fresh air, sunlight, real oxygen.
Amazing, he's speaking so calmly and not breathing hard while working out.
Joe is my idol now.... when i will be 61 i want to look like Joe!
gotta get that T
Seeing healthy and active people who are also in their 60's always makes me happy. This is inspirational! 😍
I train at a park where people bring all sorts of old construction weights and stuff. I enjoy it way more than working out at the gym, and it got me in the best shape of my life so far.
There's a park near me with both bars for chins and dips, and a rubble pile with discarded stone blocks, some in excess of 100 lbs. I can get a full workout with cardio there. Plus the park maintenance crew doesn't seem to mind if I chop up any logs blocking the trails and take them..."trail maintenance." I'm closing in on a cord of cherry and oak, just this year.
Great inspiration. I hope we all stay fit like him when we reach 60. ❤
everyone will with encouragement and HRT
all you can really add is we need more people like Joe, because people like this are becoming more and more rare
Wow! I just watched this for the first time. I'm a 52 year old male from Fife in Scotland, lost my way a bit but been lifting on and off for most of my adult life. I think I've just found my new source of inspiration! Joe you are amazing, I don't think I've ever met anyone as passionate about anything as you are. I'm gonna try this to see if I can re-start my enthusiasm for intensive training. Thank you for sharing this.
Jujiiiiiiii . Make friends, be happy, stay positive. So important.
Ive loved watching juji evolve over the years and always growing as a person. Meeting all these cool people and just having fun has been my favorite part of this channel since the apartment gym days
I've been a Personal Trainer for over 20years and I've never heard such an awesome and intelligent conversation about physical fitness
“The ground…is Uneven. This rock is uneven. Just like life.” 💯💯👊🏾😤
Juji new hair makes him look so much younger, absolute great look on him
Juji makes a really good point at the end of this video about the ancient Greeks. This is how people used to get fit and stay prepared. It was just something you did if you expected to compete in the games or were required to be a warrior, except you'd actually enjoy doing it. You just hung out, and had a good time and socialize while you got fit. It wasn't a chore, it was something you looked forward to doing as often as possible. Nowadays we sit in sterile gyms and stare at the empty equipment while isolating ourselves with earbuds and whatever podcast or music will drown out the sounds of the people around us that we'd probably rather not talk to.
Best and most productive gym times I ever had was busting weights with my brother, complaining about the day, politics, the world, all while dropping PRs. That's how I got into the lifestyle. I went from being dragged to the gym, to needing it. Texas summers though, I won't commit to outdoor training in summer haha.
💯 correct ,in gym hardly anyone talking ,most people are busy spend more time playing with they phones that working out 😂 in outdoor gym with guys who doing calisthenics we always talk while working out ,Calisthenics is kind of tribal thing ,attracts like minded people ,having outdoor gym overlooking Pacific ocean high on the cliff in Australia beats any gym .
Such bullshit. Sit in sterile gyms? What are you talking about? I meet and talk to many people in the gym; it's an extremely social experience. And lifting stones vs a well prepared barbell isn't somehow more "noble". People worked out with stones because they didn't know any better and didn't have the technology. Sure, I work outside every day. Get some sun and also look out for skin cancer if you're going to constantly expose yourself to harmful rays. The gym is one of my favorite places to go. It's to be with like-minded people, all training and working out. Your description of it as some negative, dark, dank place is ridiculous. It's a hub for all types of people. And using "stones" and body weight isn't any better than weights designed by science for the human body. I bet you're into the liver king. You think eating raw meat is the best thing for you when people simply don't have the technology or nutritional education to formulate an optimized diet. Isolating ourselves in earbuds? Ya that's not isolation, that's meditation and it's extremely good for your mental health. Lifting weights will put anyone into a state of meditation. It clears your mind. And not talking to people around you? That's your choice. Your projecting from your own insecurities and feelings. I talk to whoever the hell I want when I'm at the gym. Just because you are afraid too don't try to act like everyone else is. That's your problem. Your entire description of a modern gym is pretty much bullshit in my opinion. You completely formulated it off your own negative experiences. It's you who is the problem if you are not part of your gym's community. Somehow going outside and working with rocks isn't somehow "better". It's just different and if that's what works for you then do it. But it sounds like your have social skill problems.
@@oni-one574 Then do what's best for you. That's not what works for everyone else. But describing the gym as some isolated hell hole is ridiculous. If you want to be part of a community then insert yourself. It's not going to happen by bitching about other people and complaining about them. I've met some of my best friends just hanging out working at the gym. Not socializing with other people is a you problem, not a everyone else problem.
@@cheguevara5560 Your experience is not the experience of everyone else. You mean YOU don't talk to other people in the gym. And many people find the gym as a time to meditate and reflect, so I see no problem with also not talking to other people. And why would you expect everyone else has the time to chit chat and not get their work out in. You're acting as if one's better than the other. It's not. Meditation and self reflection is incredibly important for mental health. Your literally bagging on people who are at the gym working on their bodies and health as if they are doing it wrong because you think this other way is better. Again someone else projecting their poor experiences as if that's how everyone else experiences and sees the gym. Your ego is beyond yourself.
Paul is a kipping madman
This is so fun, insightful, and inspiring. Makes me miss living across the street from Central Park! As a lifelong New Yorker, I thank you for representing our city so well. Stay strong!
Joe needs a documentary
What an amazing guy, he really is the real deal!
That’s so inspirational to see people so active and fit in older age So many people underestimate time and health To see Joe doing this exercises is insane
This video was amazing Juji. It really took me back to years ago when I'd watch your videos. I think there is something awesome about you in particular going out places, meeting people, introducing new people, and working out. Its just fun.
22:51 So inspiring, I'm 58 and train kids in high school who have behavioural issues, going through grief, or recovering from trauma. The power of exercise to heal is incredible. So encouraged by viewing this thank you
Thank you for what you do, thats a beautiful thing
This is just the motivation I needed. I'm almost 53 and haven't worked out seriously since I was 27. Thanks guys!
In some ways, you are in an enviable position, as there is only progress ahead for you. Enjoy the journey.
I love everything about this type of workout! Keep these adventures coming Juji!
Love everything about this because this is exactly how i like to workout, love the outdoors, no distractions and you just get creative
Great video, no BS, this is real reality TV at its best!!
This is me, in 10 years, LMAO in a kind way. I'm already at the parks, working out most of the summer. Most peeps are like "WTF?" but I'm old enough that I don't care about what people think. I'm 50 and in the best shape of my life. If I inspire only one person to take up exercising - then that is enough. I'm ok with just being there. And the kids often get curious - which is great too. Good on you!
Man i hope i look like that when I'm 60 years old. You are an inspiration keep it up.
I dig the random 47-yr-old dude who just popped into the group outta nowhere and started killn it, smiling the whole time lol. So random - but so cool.
His "pull ups" were the ridiculous CrossFit version, but he's obviously still very fit.
@@stephencruickshanks3794 Totally... I noticed he was kinda doing "the worm" on those lol.
This rules, super glad to see Joe and Juji collab!
Absolutely great video. This is one of those videos that comes up in my feed that I see and can’t decide whether to immediately dismiss of check out. I am glad I gave this video a chance. I’ve never been to your channel before but loved this video. Thank you.
Love this. Fun, Inspiring, Creative. Thank you and Go, Central Park Joe!
Yeah, Joe is the real deal. Very humble guy.
Exercised my whole life. 50 now. At 42 I switched my central focus to climbing and it's the best thing I ever did. A constant changing challenge, a group of people all focussed on that challenge, all focussed on improving. I can gym around the sport, I can go on holiday around the sport. It's a 3 dimensional lifestyle. And I think that's what's important in exercise, that it feels like fun with other people. I still gym on my own and I love that too, but if that were all I was doing I think it would be soulless in the end. Find the joy, find the determination to get better and stronger, find the people to share that with and stay healthy forever.
It's really fun to see you getting back to your roots of just getting outside and having fun!
At 65 a sandbag overhead press, ring chinups, ring pushups, weighted dips, sandbag squats. Do it all outdoors! Fantastic Juji! Keep moving while enjoying nature is the fountain of youth. I also love the Chinese stone lifters in the park. I love the new content with regular people. Central Park Joe is the real Deal!
Ya and you can stay the same way doing it inside of a gym. One way isn't better. Just pick the one you can commit too. Although I'd say working outside all the time will probably increase your risks of skin cancer.
@@ch-yq5yn I went to a Gym in 2020, the smell reminded me of boys locker room in high school. Nah, I will put on sunscreen, risk lightning strikes, or Sharknado's attacks vs that smell. thanks anyway!
This man could take half a breath and keep a conversation going for half an hour
Joe is the Bob Ross of physical fitness. Keep it up man!
I love this video it made me smile to big from all of the positivity. Thank you. ❤
Great video man! I've seen him on some of those bar stars videos my favorite I missed the collab videos with you and Devon.
I love how juji is doing collabs with smaller and not as mainstream fitness influencers. It brings so much more creativity to the table
i knew him from other challenges, he is a breath of fresh air
just got back from the gym, perfect timing
I need one of those "adjustable weight" rocks! LOL, and love the changing conversion factors! Awesome vid!
I did something similar to this during quarantine. Went to a wooded park; took an axe to windfallen wood; bucked it into challenging sizes to press and carry around. Great for my traps, delts, core and conditioning...plus I had 2 cords of wood to sell once quarantine ended. (Oh, and people tended to stay over 6' away from the sweaty, grunting guy with an axe without even being asked!)
The shear width when that pull up was performed 😊
I'm retiring next year and will then, finally, have my days free to workout. All I've been doing for a few years now is working, maintaining and looking forward to that day.
Really fun video! Very upbeat and genuine guy
so much life in this man! very inspiring
Love the advice on overcoming worry, paddle board etc. I’m a climber, and the best thing I learned was first thing to do is climb up an easy and high climb and drop off..just get it over with so you’re not worrying about falling later on. Also, juji looks bada$$ with the short hair, cool look
In high school, some friends and I would do "games" like this all the time! So much fun, you feel great, and build friendships!
Very inspiring, I’m 61 as well and appreciate you sharing
Love to see Dan John getting the spotlight he deserves. Dan invented the goblet squat and is one of THE guys that loaded carries have become so popular. On top of these, he is a strength training history buff, has competed at high levels for example in discus throwing, been coaching for over 40 years, and has master's degrees in history & religious education.
What a mighty good man
Great video. Love a good thrown together outdoor workout.
As Broderick Chavez said: "just be human and do human things" Nice video!
That tattoo on his right arm = pull-ups! lol, Great video! I'm 54 going on 74 but I still make time to workout 3-4 days a week.
I loved this video! You should see if you could run Joe through a gym workout, would be really cool to see. Such a nice warm video :D
Thanks Jay! I think Joe would crush a gym workout. The man is used to holding onto rocks, ledges and works out in the rain. Imagine if he had a "handle" to hold onto for an exercise without being rained on. 😄😄
Joe is the man
we all know what we need to do. it's inside us. eat good, hydrate, get up and move.
You don’t need to hydrate lol
@@DimitriTheBarbarian Potato comment is potato.
@@DimitriTheBarbarianExcuse me??
@@joshuabarlow1031 you don’t hydrate. American food is so shit we need to constantly drink to water down all the salt sugar and pesticides. Travel a bit and see other countries lifestyle
I am loving this phase of your content, its amazing your growth throughout your channel. Any interest in Paul Chek or Laird Hamilton?
Jon & Sam thanks for informing us about this awesome dude,,,yes Jon he is the real deal
This is incredibly inspirational! I'm going to go find some rocks around me and have some fun!
15:00 Never go to a therapist, I've also been down that road and they are clueless on health. Good physical health will give good mental health, and good relationships because people will respect you when they see your fitness level and level of discipline.
Their job is to get you hooked on pharma poisons, nothing more.
Inspiring and informative, great video.
total inspiration! went out and lifted stones! bad ass.
Joe is so chill.
CENTRAL PARK JOE!!!!
Guy in the yellow pants' nick name is kipper.
Such a cool guy!! Been following him for a while!
Juji we love you man never stop
This was seriously cool, what an inspiration!
Man the ever changing and incraasing values of the rocks sent me
1:27 john respawning imitating joe with the rock and that smile on his face😂
Yo its Central Park Joe! Legend!
If I get to 61 thats how I want to look, amazing
I love Central Park Joe
I can only dream of looking this fit when I get to 61.
U were very nice accepting those kipping pull ups :)
Love this dude's philosophy!
Where I live in the UK, by the coast, the local government dumped all kinds of different shaped bricks, stones, pavers etc on the coast line to stop erosion so it's basically like having your own free strongman gym. A lot like this in many ways. Open, by the water, grass, sand dunes etc. Cool video.
Love these guys attitudes so much. When you put your mind into an activity in such away that you are creating a positive mind connection to the activity/muscle you will grow, the playing mindset; but if your mindset is to get it done get out and you do the activity with little or negative mind connection the activity could become unhealthy for you. A mindset of; this is work I don't really want to be doing, but I'm going to do it anyway while thinking about what I really want to be doing. Not only will that make time go slower for you, but you are finding a way to suffer the activity needlessly for little to no growth. Using the body positively strengthens the mind, a stronger mind will give you more energy and will power to work with. Then you add the right breathing to the equation and you will be where you need to be.
Smart guy I like his attitude
That guy is so cool, hope I'm as cool as him one day
Salute! Very inspired by grandpa💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾
Joe is the real deal! We love you Joe!
this is fkn incredible
This guys is so fit because he trains with The Rock every day.
Yoo I also started lifting rocks after watching those Khabib training videos. It’s great lol
This is so awesome, i want to join in too🙏
This is the kind of workout i crave for
If you're ever in Scotland, we have many stones to test your strength. The "Stoneland" documentary by Rogue here on KZhead is a geat watch. Enjoying your channel.
That’s good money 👊🏼 Lookin well Joe 🤧
It takes time and consistency
