The main things I learned from this channel: - be smart about the workout structure - make it fun - if the intensity doesn't blow the roof off, than you're not going deep enough Thank you very much!!!!
I had a chance to judge a show here in Colorado earlier this year with Ivana... she is very down to earth and cool. Her husband is an amazing IFBB Pro himself... I wish them the best and seeing these vids with the master John is just freakin motivating as can be!!!
John you really get everything they got outta them. It makes me appreciate what im seeing. Like she is working 1000% for what she has. You're a great coach👍🏾
wow! John I love your workout videos .. I get so pumped just viewing them before I start my workout... And that barless squat machine, it's a monster... It makes my legs feel like I need a wheelchair after my workout!! Thanks for sharing!
John you are amazing...I am forever thankful for you. I adore your videos...I have watched several of them on repeat. Thank you so much for putting your knowledge and experience out here for all of us to learn...from the best!!!!
My friend owned a Nautilas gym in the 80s and 90s and had a belt squat machine. I always talk about it but never have seen any type or version of it since. It was great.
Sorry guys - I had to bail on this one. Editing fail, here; the music is too overwhelming. I love this channel for the banter and wisdom. I'm like 11 minutes in and have heard 11 minutes of music and not a word about what they're doing and why. Music is fine as a bed, but not the main event. I do, however, appreciate this man's legacy and how it lives on through the insane amount of material he left us with. For that, I am more than grateful. Thanks John and Ivana!
John do you find rack sumo deads beneficial for hams and adductor strength/hypertrophy if you can’t deadlift from the floor due to injury? Killer vid as always! ✌️
John, I’m a natural weight lifter, 37, 185, 5’10 and lean. I kick my ass in the gym and I never feel sore. I go to failure and experiment with 15-20 and 10-15 reps, 4 sets, But for the life of me I just can’t work my muscles hard enough it seem to get sore the next day. Should I be doing same muscle every two days? I just don’t know what to do, I feel like I’m not reaching my full potential by not being sore at all. If you can address this in a video I’d appreciate it. Absolutely love your content man.
Yo John! Because you where not doing free weight barbell squats in this workout, do YOU think squatting is a MUST? To be honest, squats for me, wheater it be barbell high bar back squat, low bar squat or front squats, I don't feel them that much in my legs/quads compared to Machine Hack Squat, Smithmachine squat or even Lunges. I have long femurs but a pretty good ankle mobility... Tried several squat stands, even on Olympic (squat) shoes.... but the free weight squats doesn't seems to work well for me compared to the exercises I mentioned mentioned earlier. Do you know people who have the same experience?
Great video Mr Mountain dog! Please do a video on how to fix muscle imbalances for legs and arms. My right leg and left arm are bigger than the opposite side 😒...thank you
Mr. Meadows; you have some of the best workouts, BUT not all of us have the luxury of that equipment you get to use. A little bit jealous... please post more simplest workouts for us that have only a barbell and weights. You are the gospel in my house and totally respect the old school techniques.
Man it's so crazy. I haven't rode my bike in about a year now. I finally got it fixed and yesterday I rode my bike for about 4 Miles full speed with some uphill . My legs and glutes have been so sore since then. I think I'm gonna start riding my bike every day as cardio and then train.
Im gonna B 44 years old I lifted for maybe 13 years and been off for the past three and a half or so I was in a bad motorcycle accident but now I'm a lot better and I want to get back to the gym and it's so hard eating everything any advice for an old man... I was thinking about jumping back on gear
Bro check out Jim Brown's forged for life training, especially designed for older guys or People with injury or past injury's,he just resently did a potcast with Mark Bell. th-cam.com/video/QF1YsthQsTs/w-d-xo.html
bro, its pure gym, you can't expect stuff like this in them commercial gyms, if you ever go up north on your travels try some of the old school gyms up there, its night and day difference
I hope you can answer a question I have, John. I think im going at this style of training alittle bit wrong. Lets say I have 3 sets of 10 on the hack squat for example, Im supposed to have these 3 working sets. What Ive done in the past is that I start counting the working sets when I barely hit 10, and on the 2nd and 3rd set there is no way that im managing to push out 10 reps because im fatigued from the first working set, in the long run it feels like im going nowhere with this kind of progression. Would a better approach be to find a challenging weight and just add small amounts of weight untill i barely hit 10 and then count that last hard set + the 2 previous lighter sets for 3 working sets, to kind create a buffer so im sure that im recovering better from the workout? Also on this method, is there a chance that im using so many warm up sets to find a weight that is challenging that it actually becomes to much volume, or doesnt it matter because the weight is so light? Hope to hear from you!
Geez she’s tough..& strong! John you’re not too shabby yourself 😂! Ida prolly collapsed on a few of the “two more..now 5 mores” 😜 great work by the camera guy also keeping it modest when most exploit for views imo....This workout looks terrible....but I like it ..😏
Today I was in the worst form of my life. I have a torn muscle on my shoulder, a bad knee and a twisted lumbar in my lower back. Still went through your work out though. My partner puked few times.
Here's my pre work-out routine: drink 3 cans of red bull and proceed to do 3x20 squats. Then get gassed after first set and lay on a bench for 10 minutes and hope that your heart doesn't jump out of your chest.
My strength coach does the same. He will do the workout with me basically for a lot of things. My bjj coach sits in the corner on his phone. You can obv tell which I respond to best
Is it weird that I kind of want to move to USA. to be able to find as good as gym as this one? To be able to train with John? would be a dream come true.
Give this arm workout a try th-cam.com/video/MWu7nw0rDIA/w-d-xo.html
Hey mountaindog what did you two drink at the beginning?
@@FARecordsJF prewokout and recovery which has EAAs and carbs that you drink during your workout
Whenever you hear John say “just one more”, you know you’re about to enter a world of hurt.
:)
🤣
The main things I learned from this channel:
- be smart about the workout structure
- make it fun
- if the intensity doesn't blow the roof off, than you're not going deep enough
Thank you very much!!!!

very cool!
You know Ivana is such a hard worker in the Gym, and her Body is a product of that hard work.
I love when John tells Ivana,” Alright last two, ten more, now five more.” Looks like she’s use to it. 😄
she is...haha
John you really get everything they got outta them. It makes me appreciate what im seeing. Like she is working 1000% for what she has. You're a great coach👍🏾
That ending was great! lol
The videos with you and Ivana are always great, kick ass! I got legs tonight, hopefully I don't throw up!
Your training wisdom is unmatched Mr Meadows..always look forward to your videos..thank u
This workout was raw🦵my legs hurt from watching 😂
I went ahead and had leg day shortly after watching this ☠️
I thought it was just me lol
wow! John I love your workout videos .. I get so pumped just viewing them before I start my workout... And that barless squat machine, it's a monster... It makes my legs feel like I need a wheelchair after my workout!! Thanks for sharing!
I guess if I'm ever gonna make a woman make noises like that, I'll have to go to drop sets.
It's awesome how he gets in there and bangs it out with his trainees. He would never ask them to do something he wouldn't do himself. Respect.
Man that ham glute raise machine looks cool
It's so nice. One gym I go to has it.
that EliteFTS belt Squat platform is the coolest piece of equipment I've seen in a while
it is SICK
U gotta get Ivana to the top of Olympia....got a chance to meet her at USA gym...good people...keep the vids flowing
John you are amazing...I am forever thankful for you.
I adore your videos...I have watched several of them on repeat.
Thank you so much for putting your knowledge and experience out here for all of us to learn...from the best!!!!
ty!!!!!!
Not the best thing to watch before class. Now I wanna go back for a second training session.
My friend owned a Nautilas gym in the 80s and 90s and had a belt squat machine. I always talk about it but never have seen any type or version of it since. It was great.
Mountain dog ur awesome, don't ever change love from the UK
OMG this is the first time I heard mad dog curse. Didn’t think he had that in him, must be the pre workout, I need some of that.
:)
4:31 that dope edit with the music and the unlock on the machine!!! NICE!!
Glad you liked it!
John you're a maniac! .. it would be an honor to train with you .. that's perfect training music and a wonderful video!!!
When John says one more, be prepared for a tenfold
Omg!!! The workout. But the equipment wow!!!!! This is amazing 👏.... Train hard!! That ending though!! 😅😅

Killer workout guys. My thighs are burning just watching the video. Love that cable squat belt machine.
Sorry guys - I had to bail on this one. Editing fail, here; the music is too overwhelming. I love this channel for the banter and wisdom.

John do you find rack sumo deads beneficial for hams and adductor strength/hypertrophy if you can’t deadlift from the floor due to injury?
Killer vid as always! ✌️
yes, the lower you go the more adductor magnus gets involved
mountaindog1 Thanks John, have an awesome day! ✌️
Another goodie video...hard training and great laugh at the end..:)
No Bulgarian split squats??? I can’t believe it!!! 😂😂😂 nice video! 💪🏻

mountaindog1 cannot wait!!!! 😊😊😊
"Two more!" X 10..... She's just a damn BEAST!
BEAST! You just miss the real one ---look at 7:20 on the right!!!
??? She’s still the only one squatting that I can see.....
Great training video. Love the belt squat too. Machine looks amazing.
19:37 "Now hold it" Her face expression "You fucking kidding me?!" xD
She's such a beast. Puts the men in the gym to shame.

I’m trying to see the guy in the back doing hack squats with like 20 plates....
Ted Toalston, he's a pretty private dude, doesn't have any social media accounts as far as I know
he is awesome, was doing some lockouts...
20 x 2.5 plates?wow
Omg that pain that's what we're looking for ! great work !💪
Yo John!

Do you know people who have the same experience?
no exercise is a must!
Wow the hard Rock music fits this Workout perfectly
Doing legs tomorrow with a buddy and any advice from you sir is perfect! Thanks John
Great video Mr Mountain dog! Please do a video on how to fix muscle imbalances for legs and arms. My right leg and left arm are bigger than the opposite side 😒...thank you
I use a dip belt with a dumbbell to simulate the platform squat or whatever that machine is called.
Mr. Meadows; you have some of the best workouts, BUT not all of us have the luxury of that equipment you get to use. A little bit jealous... please post more simplest workouts for us that have only a barbell and weights. You are the gospel in my house and totally respect the old school techniques.
One thing is for sure: i can let her destroy me anytime she wants!!! Good content as always! Today was my leg day! Screw international chest day!!!
Weirdo
so you like men
That super set looks amazing. Wish I had this kind of set up a gym near me!!!!!!!!!!!
nice comedy at the end . tnx for the awesome video, sir John !
Ivana is body goals 💪🏼♥️
Man it's so crazy. I haven't rode my bike in about a year now. I finally got it fixed and yesterday I rode my bike for about 4 Miles full speed with some uphill . My legs and glutes have been so sore since then. I think I'm gonna start riding my bike every day as cardio and then train.

Wish we could have such cool machines at our local ‘Pure gym’ in Harrogate...
bro, its pure gym, you can't expect stuff like this in them commercial gyms, if you ever go up north on your travels try some of the old school gyms up there, its night and day difference
I like how John found an executive office chair to relax in at the middle of an iron gym! 😂

Count your working sets when you can actually get 10. Then do three sets of 10, or whatever rep range you’re training in
6:20 Sweet baby Jesus!
Girls really bringing Filas back.
Whats old is new again
Those Tom Platz style leg extensions!
Looking awesome keep it up
10 secs in, will try this in 30 minutes. Thanks!
Man I love you, but I would not want to have you train me I don't think I could take the pain but you're awesome Keep On Keepin On. Heart
I appreciate that
Geez she’s tough..& strong! John you’re not too shabby yourself 😂! Ida prolly collapsed on a few of the “two more..now 5 mores” 😜 great work by the camera guy also keeping it modest when most exploit for views imo....This workout looks terrible....but I like it ..😏
P/s the last part of the video Crazy funny.:)
Lmfao at JP in the background.
shes fire, fit but still feminine....
That cable squat machine is WOW . I didnt know even exists. Is it home made guys ?
made by EliteFTS
That squat machine is awesome. None of the gyms where I live have that.
Amazing the arms on John is astonishing he is a different breed.
Ivana is killing me in those shorts! 💪🍑
No doubt! Damnit son
Really dig the 80s rock, where do you get the soundtrack
Could a pulley DL be used if we don't have one u used
Great content as always
great working out thank you john
She is strong how do you balance training them and doing your workout
Today I was in the worst form of my life. I have a torn muscle on my shoulder, a bad knee and a twisted lumbar in my lower back. Still went through your work out though. My partner puked few times.
Ivana is the best
Love the video, but missed the shared workout tips that are sprinkled throughout the video.
Here's my pre work-out routine: drink 3 cans of red bull and proceed to do 3x20 squats. Then get gassed after first set and lay on a bench for 10 minutes and hope that your heart doesn't jump out of your chest.
hahaahah!
My strength coach does the same. He will do the workout with me basically for a lot of things. My bjj coach sits in the corner on his phone. You can obv tell which I respond to best
Ivana is an amazing lifter! Love watching you torturing her! 😆😆💪💪
That was amazing! I can definitely make my workouts tougher! thank u
Could you go over some daily supplement stuff?
Damn. Her SL deadlift put me to shame. I hardly ever go over 200 (I do negatives). Dammmnnnnnn
Everyday is leg day for her
This gym is like heaven, wish I had a gym like this near me in the city
Awesome video!!!! Except for the music
I want to use that inverted leg curl machine, I've heard it helps out your back too, and I really need that haha
I want to try the second workout so baddddd. I love her trainings!😤😊
Is it weird that I kind of want to move to USA. to be able to find as good as gym as this one? To be able to train with John? would be a dream come true.
That was funny at the end. More of that.
I love it!!!!!
Tate was going ham on her glutes lol
I know this is a Leg workout but her arms and shoulders look just amazing.
"im a different breed" i cackled lol
mom, can we have eddie hall?
"we already have eddie hall at home"
2:10 eddie hall at home:
Best fitness comedy channel now too
🐐
Not liking the music whist training. I prefer when u talk during exercise explaining form, feet placement etc
Now mamood, you can't be listening to romantic indian love songs when you are banging iron, its not gona get the blood moving
