  • Today's video is a tribute for one of the bodybuilding greats, John Meadows! John was one of the first people I ever stumbled upon when starting my fitness journey and really motivated/inspired me to go to the gym.
    I wanted to honour him by making a video dedicated to everything John Meadows. I eat like him, train like him and share with you a little more about him beyond the workout videos we see.
    RIP Mountain Dog. You will be missed.
    Hope you enjoy the video! Thank YOU for watching!

    John Meadows taking 16 years and 14 attempts to get his pro card is inspiring. Dude never gave up when most people would in less than half that time.

    I was fortunate enough to meet John when he was 18 at the Mr. Cincinnati in 1990. We stayed in touched over the years and in the late 90;s went to Columbus and trained back for a summer... brutal . We got together this February at a newer favorite SUSHI place. Thank you for this video.

    John seemed like the nicest guy. I really wish I could’ve met him. Even though he had tons of followers/comments he always took the time to reply to my dm’s and comments. His videos always had such a friendly tone to them. I really miss seeing new video notifications from him. I’m going to eat some cream of rice with chocolate protein powder and sugar free Hershey’s syrup in honor of him today. Best wishes to his friends and family ❤️

    The more the days go by since John Meadows passed, the more I realize how much of an influence he had on me. I started eating cream of rice/wheat after watching his concoction video. The Meadow's Row is a staple back exercise. He made a video on how to engage your chest and lats for better activation and I still use those warm up tips. His advice was second to none and I really appreciated his knowledge and kind demeanor.
    This was an awesome tribute and I'm sure he would have loved it.

    If you want a super golden/orange yolk, go for pasture raised, as “cage free” or “free range” just requires a 1 foot by 1 foot area per chicken, it doesn’t even require they can go outside. Idk if y’all have Kroger up there or not but the brand simple truth has pasture raised that are super good and golden

      Colour of the yolk has nothing to do with the quality of chicken's life. It's about their diet - orange yolk comes from them eating a lot of corn. I've raised chickens on my property for years where they wander around all day, free roaming and their yolks have always been a more paler yellow.

He shared a gold mine of knowledge for free, way more information on his channel than most other people are trying to sell you for money.

    Hi Will, thank you for this wonderful video on a great human being, who meant a lot to many people. Just two fun facts from a John Meadows fan, that you might like:
    John actually was a huge lover of donuts, he even wore some of his famous gimmicky t-shirts proclaiming his love of them. He did like pancakes even more though. He was called Mountaindog because he loved Bernese Mountain dogs, which he had as a child, and when he needed an internet handle on the early online bodybuilding forums like T-Nation, he chose the name Mountaindog1. Over time his training philosophy became associated with this name and it just stuck.
    Once again, thank you for the video Will. I encourage anyone to watch John's old videos, there's tons of nuggets of wisdom in there, not just about training and diet, but on life as well.

Now I'm upset that his nice and calm demeanor won't be around to bring new videos filled with what I've loved about him. I find myself continuously rewatching his older videos.
