- Do you want a barrel chest like Arnold Schwarzenegger? If you said yes you need to give this workout a try. We do five exercises that will target that barrel chest look.

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.

Must see video th-cam.com/video/LiRMnw8OwGc/w-d-xo.html
I'd be really curious to see what you would do for a full body workout without using any free weights and in the context of a 2 or 3 day/week program. This is unfortunately the situation I find myself in right now. 🙁
John’s body split:
M: Chest +Chest
T: Back + Chest
W: Legs + Chest
Th: Delts + Chest
F: Arms + Chest
Sat/Sun : Rest. And Chest 😂
hahaha
The most humble and knowledgeable person in this profession. There is always so much good information that can be taken from his videos.
Damn. This taught me that I need to stop locking out on my incline presses. My tris and shoulders are ahead of my chest as well. Thank you for the golden nuggets John.. u are so missed my friend!!!😔💜💪🏽
Ok, but if I don’t get a chest like Arnold’s, I want my money back.
Poland syndrome bodybuilding yea but do you eat like Arnold.
Poland syndrome bodybuilding I had never seen or heard of Poland Syndrome before I saw your comment. Good on you for achieving your physique mate!
Aren't u da guy who is Missing some of your pec?
@@VBH8888 and do you gear like Arnold
Inspiring a generation of young lifters god bless
thank you!
To bad i did chest already this week..this workout is amazing. The info is gold. This channel is by far the best Bodybuilding/fitness channel on yt. No bullshit, solid information! I praise every video and learn from them. Is amazing after so many years of Lifting and as a personal trainer there are still a ton of things to learn and improve. We live to learn.
thank you so much!
Hit chest 2 more times this week
@@c.johnson898 will do😄💪💪
As a trainer and coach I say every little thing helps. John is great for technical info and science based training.
For the longest time, I would lock out with every exercise because I felt like I was cheating if I didnt. But the no lock out way really keeps that tension. My triceps would always get fried before my chest would get a pump. Now I know why.
Yeah, depends on your goals. I hate form Nazis, but stopping just short of lockout isn't bad. He explains it in the video. If you are specifically looking for tension on the chest, there's no need to lockout (for those who read this, that don't know, locking out transfers the force thru the triceps).
I'm 45 years old and tried a few things over the years but to me pumping and not locking out has built me chest well. My problem is the heavier I get I'm more likely to get injured so on regular flat bench I started doing lock out or near lockout. It dropped me from doing 315 for 10 to 275 for 12. I have not pulled my pec once on that exercise since wear as the other I pulled it every few weeks. I think it's good to do both. Mind you I have 20" arms still so something I'm doing is right. ;)
I'll lockout on my regular sets, then do a mechanical dropset when I don't lockout. Really helps me get that metabolic stress and hit those tough to reach fibers. Best of both worlds
@Gareth Johnstone good idea I just dont like how the smith machine feels except on military press. I strip set my benches throwing a plate off each time I hit failure rather than doing multiple forced reps so for 315 I do 10 grind out 2 throw a plate off each side grind out 6 to 8 throw a plate off grind out 15 to 20 using rest pause. 2 sets of that is all I need I pyramid up my warm ups going to around 80 to 90 percent failure then the 2 hard sets. I do around 20 sets of chest with warm ups but only count 8. The 8 to failure. For me it's the only thing that works. I pour concrete 8 to 10 hours a day and when I go at night have to crush the weights hard and fast or I get nothing from it.
what about the range of motion leaving a huge gap at the top between the two dumbbells or bringing them closer together?
Nobody can Surpass Arnold Schwarzenegger's Chest Development in Bodybuilding.
his chest was awesome but there are few more impressive
i think his chest stood out because it was so big relative to his torso, which was very short
and if he had say huge delts it wouldnt stand out as much also, but his delts were pretty average
his small,ish waist also added to the illusion of size, most guys today have similar width, thickness and detial but because the midsections are thicker and blockier its not the same look
Pamela Anderson came close, a couple of times😉.
Isnt the case about surpassing arnold, its about genetic bro, Arnold was genetically gifted in his chest, ronnie in his back and bicep, jeremy buendia "the man with no waist" as flex wheeler waist
When u r one of those consider ur self lucky but if ur not, u have to work for it☝️🤗
best chest of all time!
or arms ...possibly shoulders and calves 2!!
3:29 This is what focus looks like!
I used to look like that in elementary school but I was day dreaming.
One of the best people this world had.
Rest in peace John ♥️
Such a nice guy passing your knowledge without an ego...great too see...respect John
Those were some cool guys you were working out with i really enjoyed all the knowledge you dropped for us in this video.
Aaron Griffith the big dude was hella strong bro
Really enjoying this educational approach.
I’m back into lifting at 53, and enjoy every aspect of these videos.
I've never seen that pec minor dip before. I will def work that one into chest days toward the end of a session. I'm loving this channel.
Really enjoying this series, thanks for all the content and tips you share.
John has by far The best information out there on training
Yesterday I read that John passed I didn't even know the man and it upsets me I finally found and awesome workout partner then I find that out great guy very inspirational.
Thanks John as always!
Dedicating workouts for now to this guy. One of the most humble and nicest dudes man anything you wanted to know he didnt mind sharing hope hes teaching in heaven man. R.i.p john
Pec Minor dips are the real OG
100%
I have chest tomorrow looking forward to trying out some of these. I'm going to give dumbells a shot this week.
I work out doing calisthenics on my off days. I usually do 5 compound movements on my workout days with calisthenics & finish with isolation exercises.
Hey Guys heres the workout...
1) Dumbbell Incline press (bench angle at 30°)
3 sets
First set about 15 reps
Second is to failure around 15 reps
Third is between 8-12 reps so pick weight accordingly unless you're someone like Ken then all of the above are 15-20 reps. Elbows don't flare out.
2) Incline Barbell Bench Press 45° angle
3 sets 8-12
Last set is a double drop set. Points to note don't go all the way down and you come up just to lock out.
3) Dips 3 sets of 8-12
The way John does them is leans forward and has legs forward too (takes a bit of core strength) DON'T lock out here as you're also involving the tricep too much.
4) John Meadows Exercise :)
Stay on the dip machine.
Arms are a bit short from lock out.
You sink down into yourself while keeping your arms straight. Listen to how John describes it.
5) Peck Deck machine
2 sets to failure
All of the exercises work the chest but you have to emphasise feeling the muscle. Do not just go through the motion. Focus on what you're working on.
Thanks John for showing this workout to us. I am gonna definitely try it today. Stay Strong ladies and gents.
Such a humble and positive attitude Mr Meadows 👍👍thank you for all the knowledge you send our way. My chest is lagging so this will definitely help 👍
I really enjoyed those exercises, I will be trying those next week and tell you how it went. Thank you sir have a wonderful day.
I really like how you explain things. I'm always finding new tips! Even if they don't apply to me, I always still watch! Great stuff
thank you!
Another great training video, thank you John.
Brilliant workout. Thanks John

"the body can't live without the mind"
Thank you for your videos! Beautyfull!💪💪💪
Again, thanks John. Just outstanding.
wow, thanks for sharing all your knowledge! learning so much from these vids, big like!
Great video, John. Going to have to try those "reverse shrugs". Been looking for something to help build the pec minor. Wide grip decline bench with 1 1/4 reps ain't cutting it. 👍
Thank you sir! Another great video !
since I've been watching you wich is a few months and been doing ur work outs man I look good keep up the good work I love ur oldskool training 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌💪💪💪💪💪
perfect ... from training at home and a new video 👍
and already motivated for tomorrow
Awesome vid John, and terrence has an awesome physique my fav of classic physique. One problem i have with pec deck fly machines is i seem to always feel more of the force on the right side then i will start to fell right front delt which i dont have that problem with dumbbell flys.
Damn nice video man, thanks for the info on the last set of dips. Definitely trying that with my routine. 👍
Great content as always. Thanks for sharing and contributing with your knowledge and experience
welcome!
18:10 totally. I try to find a moderate weight crazy good pump and no strain on the shoulders however here lately been doing more failure sets. Flys are what built my chest!
This was great! Thank you!
That was awesome at the end playing Rammstein Du Hast.
Simple & effective training 👍
Another great and informative video.
ALL IN GREAT SHAPE GOOD WORK!
Like the series with your two partners in the last few vidoes u guys r rocking together keep the vidoes coming
John could you please do a video describing the timeline for building, what is a realistic time scale for an average person whos eating right and working out correctly to reach a built body. People seem to think you can achieve this after a year and I dont feel this is the case but I still feel anxieties and doubt on where I should be at. Keep up the great content.
Love seeing some bar work in a routine
If you ask me arnold serge nubret sergio oliva and robby robinson were killers with barrell the barrell chest. But i picked up alotta knowledge from you and bill pearl his book is a god send. This chest workout is all about the angles you hit the chest.
Ken is back! Awesome.
Those Prime machines!! I have some of their bars and grips and love them
Great video again!!Anyone else smile inside when they heard how smooth the smith machine sounded?
John explain every rountine clearly on how to develop that body part thanks John
The legend does it again, with excellent informative information 👍
Sweet vid! Terrence is a beast. Ken has a nicely developed lower body from what I saw from the leg day video you posted. Goals!! Lol
Who gives this a thumb down? John is super smart. Learned a lot from this.
TQ John!
I did (barbell) the 10 sets of 15 reps for chest yesterday. Then, incline dumbbells same. Super pump!
Classic ... great video sir
Right on time for my chest day! 👍❤
Where are my manners. Awesome video once again John. Gonna try this tomorrow for chest day. Gotta get that book shelf looking chest to hold my drink when watching tv lol
Terrence is very strong for his bodyweight
extremely
I thought the same thing. Incredible.
Good one " Mountain💪🐶 Dog "
💪☺ I love you're intensity.
Great video! 🔥
Those straight arm dips where promoted by John Parrillo back in the 90s. Saludos from México
and by Paul Kelso in his shrug book in 1981, and you can be sure used before that.
The basic workouts are right and might always.
God. Always amazing content. Thank you
Thanks 🙏 reverse shrugs 🔥🔥🔥
Thx!
I saw that dip with a little twist or rotating for abduction for the peck minor
Great video/content. Thank u
thank you!
John, I enjoy your video's very much, I want to compliment your training & video's. I also am a newbie to bodybuilding and I started training December 3, 2018, I haven't got a full year on my new "adventure" the reason I call it an "adventure" is because I now the ripe old age of 72 years old, ( was 71.5 yrs. old when I started). I always wanted to train, never took the time before now. I am thinking that your vid's are a bit more advanced than I am, must say though I enjoy them immensely and sure wish I would have started training at least 30 years ago & 40 would have been better! Have you any vid's that are for older gents & newbie's??
not specifically, just use PERFECT form, and work your way up in volume and intensity slowly and methodically
I can't do dips. Bad shoulder. Lost some ligament playing soccer on the rain and falling on it.
Everything else I love.
Great set.
Just wanna say that I love this channel so much Info in all your videos and have made real gains because of
The big guy a little camera shy 😂 but a fucking beast
Good stuff brother!! Thanks :)
thank you!
💪💜💪Thank You Gentle Man.💪💜☝💪🙏
Great videos sir. Can you do one on cardio?
Doing it on Friday!!! 👍🤘🏻
Perfect, intense chest bombardment! Thanks, John! Query: what elbow sleeves are those?
Iron Rebel
Watching these vids increase my reps! Pump it up!
Wow that grunt though.
i believe that anyone you ask to get out of the bench should be honored to be asked by you
:)
Cool stuff.
Holy mother of god John, that reverse shrug... Wish I had found your channel years ago, has helped me develop even further (and faster) than before, many thanks from Iceland :)
excellent!
I’ll do everything except smith machine presses. I hate that thing for chest . Hurts shoulders like hell. I’ll do normal incline barbell instead . Thanks for the tips!!
Could you do a workout video on how to get some really good shape in your quads, also my left calf is about an inch smaller than my right can you give some information on how to train to bring it up to the same size as the right.
Hi thanks for great content: it would be nice if the sets and reps for each exercise is listed Thank you
John excellent videos on the channel I've started adding in a lot of the stuff you recommend. What is your view on all over body workouts? Do you think them a good training strategy ie all over workout 3 times a week? If so would you be able to produce a video on this with your best tips and suggestions?
working on it
Wish my rotator cuff was still intact. My goal is to simply get through chest at this point without pain .
Bro try some calisthenics
@@ugbuga99 what if he isn't black or gay tho?
@@ugbuga99 lol
@@grizzlymanverneteil4443 then I don't know bro. Maybe he can try yoga or some horizontal cardio
Try mark bells sling shot. It’ll help with your rotator cuff
Ruff Diesel. The black panther! The giant slayer
love watching his videos rip john
GREAT VID MEN!
Prefer locking out on barbell vs. dumbbell.
Since you did a bad coach video I think you should do a post contest/diet rebound video since a lot of 🤠 coaches ignore this issue.
Awesome chest workout 👌 whatever happened to the decline barbell bench press and the dumbbell decline press. Isn't that also a good workout for upper chest just curious 🤙👍
John is the MAN..!!!
awesome video....
I get better reps when I say "pump" everytime I press up the db's. Don't yell it though, say it very flat, normal but serious. It's the true 🔑
King of content
