Tried reverse bleeding my brakes on a whim and somehow got air bubbles out I missed for months

I was messing with my Shimano XT brakes after work last Tuesday and decided to push fluid from the caliper up instead of the lever down, and it actually forced out three stubborn bubbles that had been making my lever feel spongy since summer has anyone else tried this trick with older mineral oil systems?

A buddy of mine tried that on his old Juicy brakes and swore it made them feel like new again.

Wish MY old Juicy brakes felt new again instead of sounding like a dying cat.
