I just did Back today and the Meadows row and Single-Arm BB row have been the only 2 excercise that I do for my overall back and it blew up. I don't have machines, I workout at home. I only have dumbbells and barbelll and a bench, and I just couldnt get the classic dumbbell and bent-over bb rows to make me feel my lats, especially the lower lats. But after I tried your variations, I've never felt better. Been doing these for 3 months now and my back got thicker and wider. Thank you John for everything. Rest In Peace !
@@BigstickNick Stick with what makes your shoulder comfortable. It's almost like pulling it up to yourself but a little bit out too. Experiment with both and find which one is better for you. Remember, it will always hit your back, any move that makes you pull weight to your body will work your whole back, with some tweaks to bias some back muscles more than the other, but in general, any row will hit your lats, traps, rhomboids, rear delts, whether its a narrow/wide grip or neutral/pronated/supinated.
Back has always been easiest to build for me..and that’s 100% due to me being fortunate enough to find John’s early videos when I first started training. I’ve Tried every method, variation, technique, tempo, on and on … since then, learned dozens of others in a decade as a personal trainer- and still to this day- John’s information is the best there is ❤️ RIP legend ❤ you’re missed every day, always ❤️
The great mountain dog miss this guy so much most genuine guy in the industry never any drama just wanted to help people loved working out etc RIPOWER John Hope 2024 is a better year for the meadows family ❤
Meadow rows exercises are a complete Game Changer to your back exercise routine I strongly strongly advised to add them to your workout it will make a huge difference Thank you for keeping the channel live at posting this we all miss you John
I did this work out a few days ago. I couldn't even do the last three, I was completely smoked. Still feeling them. I'll definitely be doing them again. Thank you.
Always good information and no bs.seemed like one of the few genuine TH-camrs and seemed like a nice guy too rip. It’s great there still keeping his channel and new content keeps coming I still go back and watch his old content that I have already watched just to jog my memory I will never unsubscribe from this amazing channel please always keep it going
Love the Meadows row. My back as a whole has always been my strong point but it got me in to "silver back" big back territory according to an ex-girlfriend 😂
At 45 I had to leave the rack pulls behind. I go with the Charles Glass seated dumbbell dead lift. It takes the legs out and is easier on the lower back BUT MAN do I get great total back recruitment top to bottom. Meadow rows are a weekly staple on back thickness day.
I've got naturally wide shoulders and it was pretty easy for me to get that V shape. But I need to thicken my lower traps between my shoulder blades. Any tips?
I would say to anyone, learn how to do pull-ups properly. I have never seen anyone doing it properly ever. It’s a back exercise you should not feel like ur using your biceps at any time
The industry, human being, kind people, creative people had lost you, Sir. RIP. You are 2nd to none for sure.
This guys still got 15 years of content in the vault, a modern day 2pac
Miss this guy. Thanks for posting Mountain fam. 2024 lets get after it
A major loss to the industry a massive loss to his family.
Great man. RIP Thank you for helping us be better.

Are the meadow rows more back or out? I can never tell, I do them both ways, but not sure if it’s working

100% honestly in 14 years training what YOU have taught me, has worked better than anyone I have ever listened to. ❤

Love them, probably my favorite. Makes my lower lat feel like it's going to explode and rip off my rib cage
I did this work out a few days ago. I couldn't even do the last three, I was completely smoked. Still feeling them. I'll definitely be doing them again. Thank you.
Still subscribed and always likes any new video this channel drops. RIP John.

It’s great there still keeping his channel and new content keeps coming I still go back and watch his old content that I have already watched just to jog my memory I will never unsubscribe from this amazing channel please always keep it going
This dudes changed my gym schedule and it’s definitely for the best
John understood so much
Spinal Erector training is something many don't do buts it vital for everything
R.I.P mountaindog! Youre missed alot! Always enjoyed watching your videos!
Thank you John where ever you are 🙏R.I.P
You’re the man Mountain Dog
A few of these are new to me, especially that last one
You were heaven sent John, R.I.H you are missed
The man the myth the legend. He’s truly missed!! I still use some of his routines. Rest in peace.
Love the Meadows row. My back as a whole has always been my strong point but it got me in to "silver back" big back territory according to an ex-girlfriend 😂
Great shirt, and a deeply missed man
He always will be the very best
John was one of the most informative and valuable influencers in the industry
Good to see you again. It's completely true that Branded Pull Ups won't kill your elbows as opposed to bodyweight or weighted Pull Ups.
I would never miss an opportunity to watch something from the legend.
Yeah boi,only content I listen too
RIP John, we’re missing you but I’m glad we can still get your wisdom through this channel 🙏
Superb advice...aa usual from john rip
Haven't had a pullover machine at my regular gym in years. Moved and I miss that machine.
My 7 are:
• Deadlifts
• Barbell Row
• Chest Supported Row
• Pullups
• Chinups
• Cable Reverse Fly
• Facepulls
The last 2 hit rear delts not back
First one is hamstrings
Hey buddy. We miss you
No one better, even after you’ve gone. Thank you sir.

My guy
I’m such a fan of this man may he rest in peace I hope his son one continues his legacy
God bless you and your family, Rest in Peace mountaindog
How can I hire you for training sir?
How did you get the nickname
Miss this dude
Does anyone know the name of scapula-pull down video, where john looked like a monster. RIP❤
God needed his angels to train harder, so he had to grab their big bro to show them how its done.
Gone too early.
where can i buy that t shirts?, i am europe
I've got naturally wide shoulders and it was pretty easy for me to get that V shape. But I need to thicken my lower traps between my shoulder blades. Any tips?
High row, maybe Low trap shrugging
❤❤❤
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rest in peace Sir ❤🙏
One of the most influential people in the Bodybuilding industry
Back today 💪
Support this man’s legacy hit like Fkrz!
Just reaffirming prior comments - bodybuilding lost a giant. RIP, John. Prayers for Mary and boys.
You are living with us...
John 3:16 Amen🙏
💪🏼👍🏼
if john meadows tells you to do something, you do it
❤
Gonna use the nautilus pullover tonight
❤😢
Can anyone explain the difference between the first two exercises?
The grip is 90 degrees rotated
Legend. Gone too soon.
Today I trained a client whose biggest weaknesses are grip and rear delts. You KNOW the meadows row was my first thought.
🙏🤍🕊️
His "rackpull" is an rdl or i am wrong
He did explain that he didn't have a rack in the gym to demonstrate
You are correct
Last exercise blew my back away

HOW IS HE RECORDING VIDEOS
Watching this right after I did my back workout 😅

You've never seen anyone doing pull ups properly?
First
🥇🤜🤛
Shame on the people making money off this channel. This man died years ago and y’all using him to make money. May god not have mercy on your souls.
It's his family keeping it going. Money for his kids. What a nasty and uneducated comment. Wow. Shame on you.

Damn he looks well, considering the no pulse thing
John 14:6 Amen🙏
