The acrobat and weightlifter Jon “Jujimufu” Call has shared a video of a truly epic deadlift with fans and hinted at a career as a professional bodybuilder.
Some call Jujimufu the “Anabolic Acrobat” for his incredible bodybuilder-esque physique despite being a professional acrobat who performs feats of flexibility and dexterity as a job. However, lately he’s really been bulking up and going in on the strength exercises. Take a look at the incredible video below to watch Jujimufu squat 600 lbs. weighing only 225 lbs himself!
“HEAVIEST squats I’ve ever done at this body weight!” Jujimufu captioned the post. “A little POSING work – then heavy DEFICIT DEADLIFTS BACK VEINS for sets of 4 of 100 VEINS!”
The fact that he’s working on his posing suggests he is contemplating some sort of move to bodybuilding or at a least a staged strength sport, which was further supported by a poll he shared on his story where he asked followers if he should consider a career as a pro bodybuilder.
If Jujimufu did join the IFBB, he would be on the older side for a rookie but would definitely still be a competitor. After all, Shawn “The Flexatron” Rhoden was in his mid-40s when he won the Olympia. Jujimufu has already achieved a lot in his years as an acrobat and fitness personality on Instagram and has a totally ripped physique. It would be much easier for him to cross over into that world since he’s basically in it already, and who knows what the future holds for him there.
