I dare say that nothing got me progressing more in the gym than John’s videos. I found him just a couple months before his passing, and his passing still devastated me. Thank you John, for everything you’ve done for the people. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I started watching your content after your passing. Your dedication, knowledge and passion is the best in the business. You left a legency you and your family should be proud of...
RIP John, you are missed but never forgotten!! I will watch your videos for the rest of my life!! You have made a huge impact on my training and you are the best trainer on the internet!!
I watch the ads on all of Johns videos!! Miss you mountain dog!! Hope you're in Heaven happy with your family keeping your legacy alive with all this content
"Reasons Why Your (muscle group) Won't Grow" is the series which got me hooked on all of John's content. Then there's Meadows Rows which I've been doing for many years before I knew who John was. Such a legend in the bodybuilding world who will truly be missed, but ultimately will live on in spirit.
Mine is the overtraining video. I'm hooked on all his content now. Just everything about his delivery and strict form. He's the best on you tube. Rip sir
Definitely missed, however, it is awesome that John left these training videos, which are part of an amazing legacy. Always a common sense informed approach. Thank you Sir. Ron
Not many people at my gym train to failure, besides the few people that are absolutely jacked lol. A lot of people look at me weird when I’m struggling with my last rep, or pushing out 10 half reps at the end of my sets. But it’s pretty impressive how much muscle I’ve put on using these techniques as a natural, and I’ve worked out a few different times in my life, sports in high school, weightlifting in my early 20’s. But with using a lot of bodybuilding and Meadows’s techniques I’ve been able to actually see really great muscle gain at 27. Rip John 🙏🏼 Gone but never forgotten.
I used to train full body or upper/lower all the time. Then I realized my arms were lagging so I changed it up to chest/back, shoulders/arms and a leg day. Using a lot of direct arm work 💪🏽💪🏽
I do the exact same routine and people call me weird. "One muscle group a day" or "why are you doing big muscle groups like chest and back on the same day"
@@tombstonereloaded haha happens to me quite a lot too! Especially chest and back gets people frowning.... I think upper lower is great starting out and then change to a routine to specialize a bit more on weaker muscle groups. I love the focus I have on my arms with the shoulders and arms day, I think arm volume is the only real weakness in an upper lower split.
@@jessevandijk7524 i agree, i also see people do upper lower splits and theyre there for over an hour, but theyre on their phone forever and then act like they got a workout before they go to the next exercise
My God I miss John and the easy and informative way he had to explain all aspects of training body parts. I’ve followed John for a good number of years and my gains were all down to him and thankfully Cris Edmonds has taken up John’s baton so John’s legacy will carry on. My Love and very best wishes from Cheshire UK to Mary and the boys. Jim Harrison.
Without doubt THE best coach/mentor/guru to ever grace youtube relating to body building and I’ve seen most of them, but John Meadows for me is fantastic great guy sadly missed although his legacy will live on what a great communicator and motivator, thank you JM.
This is some great info, I've taught my own clients a lot of the things I've learned from John. A lot of these tips aren't fancy but the small things can bring you a lot of gains
Whoa! John Meadows! I remember a tip John gave about working with/around elbow tendonitis by adding high rep curls and extensions to the beginning of workouts. It's been working very well thus far. This channel is a major resource.
Me too. Good man. Wish I could of met him in person. I hope they have a pair of spongy grips in heaven for tricep pushdowns. He said those were his favorites!! 🏋️♂️
I remember once hearing a guy say: "Show me a guy who says your arms only need the compound exercises and I'll show you a guy with crappy arms." Until hearing that, that was me. Add to that--and as the 'dog said--biceps REALLY demand strict form. Get the blood in there, fellas--and keep it there long as you can.
Unfortunately, John has passed away. This was a pre-recorded video that he blessed us by making. He has a TON of videos on his channel, and many routines for arms. Definitely check them out
Not to be a hater, but all these “reasons why *insert muscle name* isn’t growing* don’t mention a key factor. The muscle belly. The potential for a muscles size is determined by the length of the muscle belly
This man left a legacy that will stand for generations!

It's still like having your own personal trainer. No complicated advice,just straight talking advice. Rest in peace!
I will continue to watch these videos to support this channel hope the meadows family is healing

One of worst gym fears: Tearing my bicep.
I lift light because of this man and I still gain!

Oh. "Focus on the negative" was advice specific to lifting. In retrospect, I've likely been applying that too broadly in life.
True legend...miss this guy..thanks.for still posting videos
Love this series!!! Miss you meadows

Your son Virgil is a great centre back🙏
Never stop posting these 👏🏻
ah man I wish he was still around what a legend. Thank you who ever is uploading these!! so thankful for these videos.
Most helpful arm video ever!🙏

So who's uploading on this if he's dead
Whenever I have a doubt about bodybuilding I come to this YT channel. What a guy 🙏🙌 always a legend!
Thanks for my daily fix of common sense an great advice.
I found John on T nation in my twenties. Before he was on TH-cam. The guy is brilliant. Glad this videos keep showing up
Without doubt THE best coach/mentor/guru to ever grace youtube relating to body building and I’ve seen most of them, but John Meadows for me is fantastic great guy sadly missed although his legacy will live on what a great communicator and motivator, thank you JM.
Can't wait for the tricep video! Thats where my problem lies!
there's a more than a few videos on triceps on his channel
This is some great info, I've taught my own clients a lot of the things I've learned from John. A lot of these tips aren't fancy but the small things can bring you a lot of gains
This man is so personable and down to earth, i love his videos. Rest in peace Mister Meadows! And thanks for teaching us.
You are a great source of valuable informations and tips! You live in our hearts Mr. Meadow!
The man was a font of knowledge.
Just another video from the late John🤩
When i look for training advice, i only listen to this guy... He's the best. May he rest in peace.
Whoa! John Meadows! I remember a tip John gave about working with/around elbow tendonitis by adding high rep curls and extensions to the beginning of workouts. It's been working very well thus far. This channel is a major resource.
Like warm up sets? High rep curls with lower weights i take it before you start your main sets?
Don't know how many BBs go to heaven when they die, (or if there is one) but one thing is sure, John will be there.
RIP
This is seriously a fantastic video , miss ya big time…
Bless, keep circulating John's videos. They are timeless.
I miss john meadows
Me too. Good man. Wish I could of met him in person. I hope they have a pair of spongy grips in heaven for tricep pushdowns. He said those were his favorites!! 🏋️♂️

GOAT 🙏
Seeing these make me happy
Another quality video, thank you
The legend continues....Great stuff in here.
Miss you so much John💪❤️
superb content. John is inmortal.
Some heavy knowledge in this video
6:20 he's giving us advice from the heavens, I knew that's what makes arms blow up
100% on point, let the wisdom flow!
Great talk! Love the Galactus shirt!
I Miss you Big Homie !! 🙌🏼
My God Forever hold You and Your Family in His Love
Love the Galactus shirt
We miss u
What a legend, RIP John
I love this man
All the wisdom you will ever need is here.
Brilliant video
I still can't believe he died. Such a great teacher and just normal guy. I still watch his videos. And forget
Can we get an 8 hour video of John talking about building arms? thanks!
Powerful show
I watch a new vid every night. I find his information very useful and explains it so it's easly to follow. Rip.
That machine is facin sick!
❤ lots of love to your family and you
Thank you John❤️:')
Gone too early, my favourite coach.
I miss you John! 🥲
We miss you 😌❤Roger from Norway
What are thoughts on side bicep curls ?
RIP Legend
You can get progressive overload from doing more reps with light weight or using time under tension
glad you are back from hospital, nice vids!
I'm sorry if you somehow missed this, but John is no longer with us.
I remember once hearing a guy say: "Show me a guy who says your arms only need the compound exercises and I'll show you a guy with crappy arms." Until hearing that, that was me. Add to that--and as the 'dog said--biceps REALLY demand strict form. Get the blood in there, fellas--and keep it there long as you can.
I miss him so much he is the best teacher
Pray everyday for you big brother.
Never thought of biceps this way. More focus lighter wieght good form and more sets.
Rest In Peace you’re a legend 😔
Wait, he's gone????
Legend! ♥️♥️♥️
When I start losing form i usually drop weight and go slow with equal range in motion
Lets go John. Love seeing this content. Who doesn’t need bigger arms
John is not going anywhere anymore Im afraid. Have you not heard the news
@@dyztroyax4628 no I know what happened I’m just excited to see content.
That Galactus shirt is so John.
Do you have a workout plan online for this? Good stuff.
Unfortunately, John has passed away. This was a pre-recorded video that he blessed us by making.
He has a TON of videos on his channel, and many routines for arms. Definitely check them out
Damn sorry to hear could tell he was a good guy
@@datboyjt3649 John transformed my training and has helped so many people. I would recommend his videos to anyone. They are gold
@@D_Huckins most def
We miss you John.
Strength curve 16:00
I miss you.❤️
Love Johns videos but this video is already on the channel just under a different name :)

❤️
Continuously Iincreasing means an Absence! of injury or soreness. Simple fact, by the way this is just STEP 1a.
BOSS
HI EVERYBODY! Galactus t-shirt in the house! We'll always miss John...
Gooood
Do we know who is running the channel? Is it his family?
High school education is a must to watch some curl weight it weight lifting not rocket science
This is above your level obviously.
RIP John
Perfect explanation 👍
Preacher curls are great for biceps 💪
Did You Just Re-upload Videos ?
Well of course sadly John passed away
@@alessiobubbles5345
What!!!!....when?
@@speakeasydoorman4966 August 2021
John Pre-recorded mannnny videos, thankfully
❤️❤️❤️
Being natural, you WILL reach a limit in arm size. The average sized 6' guy may build to 17 inches, but it is very rare.
Mine got to 18” at 6’0 and that was at a lean weight of 217 which i cut from 251. I got to 17” quickly, 18 took a while.
❤️🙌
