Yeah I'm 52 I'm just bummed beyond belief that he died. It was so nice to have somebody that was near my age that understood everything that my age goes through. All these younger kids just living a echo chamber with and scream with the other kids scream and they've done absolutely no research. So I'm going to pick up some of John's workouts and watch all his videos overtime and continue to support the family hopefully AdSense keeps paying them
Be the change you want to see in the world, You'll never know how many people you can positively effect. Having no dad or a not so good one is not our faults, but we can control how and who we want to be. The rest is our history. Cheers
same here dude. My dad made my childhood shit...im not saying there where some good times and there, but the shity ones overshadow them. He had and still has no idea how to act like a good father. I'm here at 24 years old and realized that the only good thing about the situation is that, now I know what NOT TO DO when I will be a Father for my kid. RESPECT for John. That's how a Dad should be.
SirStutzman I’ve found that men who grew up without fathers (or with bad fathers) actually tend to be great dads. They wanna give their kids what they didn’t have.
Not only do you give a ton of useful and honest info and advice, you also show people how to be a good dad and use your platform to spread positive things. I absolutely love that.
Been watching this guy for years there’s nothing you can’t like about him breaks my heart when I see these ones he brings his son on. I was 12 year old when I lost my dad and I’m 63 now and it’s still breaks my heart loving the world to him and his family.❤
Tony Romo. I used to use grits or oatmeal in all my morning and post workout shakes, but that damn cream of rice.... son, that shit is something special. 🐗
@@quantumpotential7639Nah you shouldn’t hold in tears it’s extremely bad for you to do that. Crying releases endorphins so it can literally decrease both physical and psychological pain. Your body has certain reactions for a reason. If you’re crying everyday then there’s probably an issue but crying occasionally is good and means you’re probably not a psychopath.
In an industry filled with liars, cheaters and thieves, there are still righteous individuals who maintain a high level of ethics and morals. You’re a great role model for your kids John. The bodybuilding community are so grateful for all of the knowledge you continue to share. You’re a genuine, honest bloke 👍🏼 Thanks for introducing me to the cream of rice/almond butter/ protein powder concoction bowl! Would you consider doing a video on immunity - what nutrition and supplement tips would you recommend? Gyms are a breeding ground for bacteria and I seem to get sick with colds/flu’s quite a bit. It would be great to see a training video with Antoine Vaillant, Dave Tate, Scott Stevenson or Jordan Peters too. Thanks in advance!
I love how you interact and include your family into your videos. That is something wonderful for the family unit and you and your wife did a great job. Thanks for he information as well.
I lost my father a few years ago now and seeing you with your son at the beginning makes me sad. Not a day goes by I don't think of my father, and I'm a grown man; I can't imagine what it does to a younger man when you seem like a great father like mine was. I appreciate the info and videos.
Saddened to hear about your passing. I just started watching your videos sometime last year and aside from the wealth of fitness/health/bodybuilding knowledge, I always admired your calm demeanor and interactions with your family. As a family man myself this hits close to home and I send my prayers to your wife & children. RIP John Meadows
I love how you interact with your son and include him in your videos. I don't know you personally, but your very passionate and from what I can discern extremely genuine. God bless you and your family. Praise Jesus. P.s Thank you for all your videos, very informative.
Man, I just discovered John Meadows like a week ago. He sounds so much like the gentleman I would learn so much from, such a vast amount of knowledge. So sad to hear about his passing. My condolences to his family. Amazing father!. R.I.P Mountain Dog!!!! 🙏
When I watched this when it came out, it taught me the important of good carbs and what they were. I have made leaps and bounds of gains due to John. I will always be thankful. John Meadow is the GOAT
Alexander looks like a great kid! Good to see kids doing more hobbies than video games. I really like pineapple in my diet for a carb source, I feel like it really aids in digestion for me.
love watching your stuff. Great information and youre an awesome dad. My dad was my guitar instructor, and he was always interested in my hobbies and stuff. He's gonna grow up with confidence and thats because of you! Definitely gonna subscribe. Keep it up man!
Ramen noodles have also become a favorite of mine recently. All that sodium is great for replenishing after a long, sweaty workout. Plus, you can load it up with all kinds of veggies, some meat, an egg, etc and it's a nutritional powerhouse. I like vitaramen a lot.
Sweet potatoes are my favorite source of carbs when I'm at the gym. Baked in the oven with a little bit of olive oil and cinnamon on top are delicious😊 Great selection btw John👍
Thank you for mentioning the high iron in many Cream of Rice and Cream of Wheat brands. I actually got iron overload from consuming cream of rice for breakfast daily, especially with the amount of red meat I was eating. Nice to see someone mention that too much iron can be easy to get as lifters from the amount of food we eat. I'll check out the brand you eat as well.
I like cornmeal. As a porridge, it has basically the same traits you mentioned about white rice. It’s carb-dense and easy to digest, plus it’s neutral enough in flavor that it goes with pretty much anything. You can also make it into bread, which makes it more portable and provides some textural contrast if you’ve been eating a lot of beans and legumes.
That was a blessing to see your son Alexander perform his yoyo moves. He's got some major skills. I have eight grandchildren. I don't know if half of them could put they're phone down long enough to develop that kind of skill. Your part of the video was good too. Haha! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome content as always. Before my rookie season I cut gluten out of my diet for the better part of a year, every time I came back to it I’d feel like crap, much worse than I ever remember feeling prior to taking it out of my diet. Nine years later it still gives me trouble but I can eat most sourdough with virtually none of the issues I get from regular bread.
I immediately liked this video the second Alexander started his trick... I loved seeing the pride in John having Alexander do that on the video. Class-act Dad.
Jasmine rice is also my favorite! If my carbs are pretty low due to contest prep I find myself trying to get the fiber in but not too many carbs-I love blackberries! You may mention those but I’m only to the rice part! Love your content!!
Ohio has really nice people, especially Columbus. John, reminds me of most people I've met in Ohio -- humble, kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Good families, good people live here. John was a great man. Sad he left too early.
I keep coming to this video just to see this beautiful man with his son.i wonder what it's like to have such a supportive father.then I dream about one day being like this👏✊

Great video John!
Can you do a cooking video of what exactly you make with your tortillas that would be cool I do the same thing
Great Dad
Have you read Nina Tiecholz recent book called " The big fat lie " ?
She licks the shut out of the plant based diet , it worth the read .
Where is the playlist with more yo yo tricks?
RIP John. Great father, great teacher, and great bodybuilder

Mad yoyo skills!

Here in Europe, we eat cooked green lentils with smoked meat, sunny side up egg and pickles. Must try, it tastes amazing.
Sounds great!
what a nice human being and a knowledgeable guy. R.I.P.
Crazy that he is not with us! All the education he left behind with his videos, seems like he never left! And what a kind soul! rip John!
Good job Alexander !
Your son has some serious yo yo skills.
I miss your dad so much!he was the best !!!lovely man!and loved his boys!!
Alexander looks like a great kid! Good to see kids doing more hobbies than video games. I really like pineapple in my diet for a carb source, I feel like it really aids in digestion for me.
No words can say how good this guy is
Been eating steel cut oats ever day now for a few months, with berries and walnuts, and Im leaning right out like crazy :)
This came on news feed again after watching the latest news :( Your names forever stamped on Bodybuilding and on all of us - RIP John
Love his Video's !! Seems like a genuine REAL PERSON !! RIP John
Wonderful to see a man proud of his boys. Sorely missed.

thank you!
That Yo Yo trick "barrell roll combo" was awesomely flawless!! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2020!!
A real person a real family and a genuine channel..... Merry Xmas to you and yours.
Whenever I workout now I imagine John being next to me yelling, "One more, one more, one more you got this, one more and hold. There you go."
RIP JOHN!! Thanks for all your honest help.
That yo yo trick was lit 🔥😂😂 another great video thanks for the information
The intro and outro hit real hard for me as someone who has a rolling stone for a dad. RIP John you were a great father and mentor to all of us
Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription...is more yo-yo!
😂
Or more cow bell baby
3 months later, it turns out it was corona virus
Then you will be...... wait for it....... WALKEN with a yo-yo 🪀!!! Thank you. I will see myself out now. 😏😂👍👏😊🤦🏻♀️🤦🏼♂️
