    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.

      When I hit quads I warm everything up. Hips, quads, hamstrings even calves. My knee injury was caused by an imbalance. My quads overpowered my weaker, tighter hamstrings. I even don't put extra work on my quads, yet. All my extra work goes on my hips and hamstrings til they're stronger.

    Most my shorts come to my knee, but I always hike them up a bit when I do leg extensions. Seeing the contraction really helps the MMC, especially towards the end of drop sets when it's all about pushing blood in there and going past your pain limits.
    Great stuff as always! Tyvm, John!

  • @southpawje
    @southpawje 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The tip that Paul suggested at 21:30 to concentrate on "pushing" the 'ankle' forwards for a better contraction while doing seated calf raises was great. I tried this at my next set and is was great. Excellent video John, thanks guys!

    Hi John. Amazing video as usual and great content. I know you already have somewhat covered the leg press, but could you do a video focusing on what exactly changes when you change the angle of the seat in the leg press? Yesterday I tried to do it at a slightly more incline than usual and today I am super sore above my patella. Any thoughts?

    When doing those legpresses with your heels off of the platform are your heels allowed to 'lift off' as in with squatting where your heels are not allowed to rise.
    Your heels aren't pressing against anything so they aren't lifting of anything but they aren't in line with the platform in the bottom position

    Love this vid but i kinda wish you would include the weight you're using in a set of each exercise. Bc with the quad extensions i feel too strong to be doing it right but it looks similar to what they are doing so i figure my weight might be too heavy. Like for example if im doing 100 lbs and so are they then theres a problem with my load bc my legs are tiny so id know i must be cheating somehow lol

    Hey John. Great workout. Was just wondering the leg press exercise station at 19:30, will having your feet so low down cause knee issues? Especially seeing that his knees were tracking so far in front of his toes.

    • @paulcarter9546
      @paulcarter9546 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      That's called knee flexion, and it's the only way to really get the quads into a nice lengthened position on things like hacks, leg presses, and squats, etc. In that movement we're trying to really stress the VMO and there's no way to do that without excessive knee flexion where your knees come way over your toes....which is perfectly normal.
