John Meadows is an American professional bodybuilder and entrepreneur with an intriguing story. While John now boasts a successful career as an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and fitness company owner, his journey towards the top was extremely difficult.
Growing up, John never met his father, and his mother died at an extremely young age. This meant John only had his grandmother to take care of him. When his grandmother tragically passed away in 1999, John was left alone without his family to support him.
As the years went by, John continued to face new adversities in his life. During his early days in bodybuilding, John suffered from a rare colon disease. After fighting the disease for several months, his colon burst - almost resulting in his death. Luckily, John was quickly rushed to an emergency room where his life was saved. After several months of recovery, John was finally back on his feet.
Coming back into bodybuilding, John used the very obstacles that almost cost him his life as ‘fuel’ to grow stronger. Ever since he recovered from the colon surgery, John has gone on to become a successful bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and inspiration for many people all over the world.

#Chest #Shoulder #Workout - กีฬา
What’s your favorite chest exercise?
Barbell incline press and dumbbell incline press. This morning I did my chest work out.
Chest not my strong point-- fav is incline smith
Incline dumbell press, but then with retracted shoulders, opposed to what the guy in the first exercise was doing 👆🏼
Anything incline to build that shelf!
Incline Flys with the twist at the top👌
4:24 that guy is curling in the squat rack.
He thought we won't notice him.
But we did...
i always curl in the squat rack
I hate it when people squat in the curl rack.
@Kenneth Wilburn Hell nah bro lmao I'm trying to get there though, I throw on a 25 w/ a 5 on each side
@@brewhaha515 gotta use the curl rack to curl my man!
the legend lives on and continues to teach & help community. these videos are gold
Never thought I would ever relate to a hardcore bodybuilding advice unless I came across John's videos so humble so grounded 😊🙌
Hardcore bodybuilding got everything started that is related to fitness! So you better take it seriously ✌👍
"alright, hi everybody"
Me: its gonna be a good day😎
SONSONPAUL yessirrrr
SONSONPAUL makes you feel good doesn’t it?
:)
Me too
haaa hit the nail on the head w that comment
John is truly a treasure. His legacy lives on to this day. Continuing to pray for his family and loved ones.
If I would've started the video at 18:05, I would thought this was a completely different channel.
I just wanted to thank you John. Your channel has helped me immensely. I’ve gained 25lbs of solid mass thanks to all your nutritional and training philosophy. It’s my dream to work out with you someday. Thanks for all you do for everyone.
welcome!
I'm actually really loving all of these little small tips John. Especially you talking about going to far down toward the sternum on a press can cause some shoulder impingement. Also not going as far down on shoulder press. I've tweaked mine recently and I've been trying to keep it very safe. Thank you for the value brotha
I have been following Mountaindog's videos for several years but in this one I felt like I'm there into that atmosphere, what a privilege to get training from him. R.I.P brother, you inspire me a lot.
wow those little tips are so helpful, i never once have thought about internal rotation on an barbell incline press thank you for the knowledge
John's encouragement works really great at keeping the tempo!
dude you are the man John! dropping gold every day!
I always watch Johns videos before the gym, it really motivates me!
This is actually makes sense. I also get better activation when I bring in my elbows for incline, plus, it's better for the shoulders.
it's amazing how lifting weights brings so many people together. I bet you love meeting new people all around the world who share the same love for the iron as you do !
yep
Love, love this workout! I tried it today and I will definitely incorporate this into my routine.
John give excellent instructions on technique and execution , the best on TH-cam!
Glad i came across your channel. Keep up the good work tigridis
John Love Your Videos!!!...Your knowledge is priceless, and I will continue to utilize Your shared knowledge on Bodybuilding...Thank You Mountain ⛰ 👍🏼
This guy is a genius!! Nothing but respect sir.
Guy really appreciated you helping him.
You tips on arm position for benching is excellent. I’m doing a-lot more weight with a-lot less shoulder pain. Arms flared out was taught years ago if I remember correctly. Too bad, could be many more heathy shoulders today.
Wow your amazing at coaching, super indepth and great pointers
Good stuff I changed the angle on my upper arms for d bell press and bar press like you recommended. Wow thanx!!
that adjustable incline bench is nice - my impinged 60 yr old shoulders would love it lol
I'm feeling this gym, great mood lighting, club music
Loved the form tips on chest. Would kill to have one session with you and your knowledge. Those two very lucky to train with you.
Great workout as always.
Love your videos John 👈
When it comes to the bench press, front delts and upper chest is where you most need strength if you have long arms. This is to get it out of the bottom since there's usually more range of motion. If you have short arms, you most need triceps strength. Long arms look smaller because they're less girthy but bear in mind that the muscle belly is longer. Food for thought.
I agree. I have really long arms for my height (or lack of lol). I'm 5'10" with a 6'3" reach. It's hard to gain size in my arms, but the strength is coming along.
@@jjwp-ql5rv keep pushing brother. Change up your workouts to focus a bit more on just the arms. Same thing I'm doing, progress is coming
I have Orangutan Arms... When I stand straight, my finger tips touch my knees
@@jjwp-ql5rv
I have a very similar issue. I’m 5’10 & also have a reach of 6’3, but although I don’t have trouble building my arms (genetics) I struggle desperately to build a big chest (also genetics). With such a long reach I can’t bench a lot or develop the chest I want… 🤷🏼♂️
John is such a good coach. I wish i was able to hit a workout with him
I'm so glad that I started watching your videos recently John! I learned a lot of precious stuff from you!
I'm very fussy when it comes to lifting advice I only trust someone who is truly know what they are doing and you unlike those Instagram influencers and those pretty hot youtubers who only traines for a few years and think they know everything. You have even more respect from me because you have trained with Loiue Simmons and Dave Tate!
Thank you!
Another great video bro,excellent tips!
Hi John it's me from 🇨🇦thankyou for all your educational videos your explanations help me to understand why/how we do the different workouts. Since covid is limited my gym time l workout religiously at home, with a sprinkling of the actual gym. Here in Winnipeg 🇨🇦 the gov is slowly loosening the restrictions, very limited access to fitness facilities still. When l workout at home lve started putting on videos of the particular body parts lm working out the sounds and visuals of the gym in your videos helps me to motivate myself more. I look to you for help and motivation, you are awesome thankyou John from John in 🇨🇦👍😷😷😁🏋️♂️
Iv been doing upper chest exercises wrong. Thank you John. Its chest day
Love anything and everything with John 👍
Would love to live in the states to train with you! You’re a walking encyclopedia! God bless. 🙏🏻
I love this man. I can always search John meadows “insert body part” and get a good rundown on some new exercises to incorporate into my workout.
I love that there’s no negativity on any of John’s videos.
What’s the incline on the bench in the first exercise?
i prefer lower angle..
Looks to be about 30 degrees.
returnovdamack really? Looks a lot higher to me about 37°-45°
I really try and think of something negative to troll but I just can't do it
That's why you gotta sprinkle in a bit of Coach Doucette. Too much of a good a thing is bad. Moderation is key!!
Need to try this next workout - been out 4 weeks out due to shingles
Awesome workout and some amazing people you get to work with 🙌🏼 she has such a lovely smile 😊
Been watching Mountain Dog for awhile now, subscribed because of this video..
Perfect timing because I’m really focusing on my upper chest shelf and my delts right now. Great vid keep them coming..
Don’t see girls like that at my gym . All they do is squat. Lol . Congrats on the gains
Thanks to John I learned to put more emphasis on the rear deltoids. I've seen much improvement.
She's pretty impressive! Great video like always. Keep it up. God bless you. 🙏
John Meadows, thank you for creating all this amazing content!
welcome
Another great workout mountaindog1 i get pumped. Want to do more
Great video, very helpful.
Thanks Mr. Maedows!! Very nice, as always. 🍦 🎂
Great workout! Thanks! PT trainer in Verona, NJ
Lovin the t-shirt, John!
I like the emphasis on dumbbells. It is rare to see someone utilize them in so many ways. I think a lot of people underestimate them and hype up the bench too much.
agreed
Guess what? Is chest day again😂second time this week so this workout came right on time 👌 You've nailed it John💪
You sound like Jeff Cavalier Athlean X on the fibers 👍🏻. Both of you guys are very informative
John needs to bring the markers to the gym lol.
Another amazing workout and exercise selection, I would love to see a work out on hitting the inner chest, specificall any tips on hitting the lower inner chest as I feel I have such a huge gap. 🙌🙌🙌
chest day today going to incorporate these workouts ;)
The shelf is an area I am lacking. So, I go on a quest for knowledge, and sure enough, good ol' John to the rescue. Thank you for the footprint in the world you left behind!
Have you built it up?
Nice always informative!
Thank you!
thank u john very good video again and again and again you are the best
Thank you!
Ive used similar exercises for years, and they work. John used these principles when he competed (PG, and high focus on deep tissue pain).....thats when I learned them, they are still tried and true. That woman is not only a badass, but she is absolutely gorgeous....Savage beauty.
That shirt is awesome!!
Loving your videos and Instagram posts John. Found out about you in a Jujimufu video. Your tips have turned my workouts into something they’ve never been before.
Thank you!
Tried this out today, great workout, try it out guys and girls.
favorite chest exercise,, incline dumbbell presses
That is a nice video I love how you emphasize the importance of good form and control.
It is a game changer in hypertrophy.
I have a few questions for you, would you mind answering them ?
1. How fast an intermediate should progress in strength? Like 1 rep per week ? If a person sees a progression only after 2-3 weeks does that mean volume is too high?
2. In general, how you decide how much volume to do ? In your opinion, how many sets is optimal for most people?
Thank you. Love your content. Don’t stop!
Best trainer
Mountain Dog is so knowledgeable I love his videos...👍😎🤙🤙🤙
Great "instructional" video. 👌
Wish I could give a second like for that gym's playlist
@04:28 Curling in the squat rack.
Luv it!!!! Missing the edit though of the infamous rolling db plates aka us trying to kill u!!!!!! Great stuff!!! I had a blast and clearly was trembling the whole time!!!!!!
you have alot of new fans now :)
She looks amazing, and her form on everything was fantastic. Kudos to her! Does she really not have any competitions upcoming?
Arnold Classic
Back at it
Freaking awesome guys.
When’s your next show John! What do you think about only weighted dips and flyers and no Bb moves for chest?
i love weighted dips...youd be ok if you did a ton of dumbell work
Congratulations on having an article in the October issue of muscle and fitness! Page 52&53

im back for more what we got coach
got a lotta mo'
John, you advise against starting an overhead press all the way down from the scapula, which is how you would do it for a jerk in olympic lifting. Would you say that the hip drive at the beginning is what protects olympic lifters from getting their shoulders hurt?
definitely helps yes sir
Aw another great video. Such a natural relaxed way of informing , with some nice tips on avoiding injury and best gains. Top Dog. Is it me or the females tend to show great form over the guys sometimes? Maybe the guys concentrate of too much weight over form at first.
BOOOOOOM!!!!! 💪
I've always pressed with my arms at those angles lol. Never do those "T" Presses.
What kind of camera and lens do you use Sir? Amazing vid!
John's videos are the ones that I recommend to all my friends.
Thank you!
October muscle & fitness
Mountain dog back & bicep work out
(Meadows Row) also how your bodybuilding programs are designed
thank you!!!!
Damn...why is the gym so dark?😎...also what incline is that 35 degrees? thanks
Got a great pump form this one
What else can I do Mr. Mountain Dog to get that shelf ... I was cursed with a flat chest I need all the help I can get
Hi John loving the videos. How many sets do you recommend using the 8 rep to positive failure method shown here?.
on these exercises you could do 2
Thanks for the swift response John. I typically do 3x10 of the same weight per exercise So instead I would just go for the 2 sets of 8 but go heavier on the second set?.
Applied your wisdom.... Got some good results.... John my calves are real stubborn... Any suggestion?
lots of calve workouts on here on my playlist
Great video as always John. Even though it's not a chest exercise, I never see people do Zottman curls anymore. Do you know if it is just a lost exercise or was it one that caused injuries?
i do them on occasion!!
@@mountaindog1 Thank you for replying. I'm a relatively new subscriber, who found your channel through Jeff Nippard. I've been watching a lot of your content lately, it's great stuff and I've been learning heaps. Thank you, from a great full Kiwi. :)
Superhero!
