To John's family I hope you will never remove this channel because John has helped so many and will continue to do so and also we all love him because he had a good heart. I never met him, but it's easy to see how caring he was to whoever was around him no matter the shade of skin color. Hope you're happy on the other side YT friend 🙏❤️
@@justanerdwholiftweights4061 l know. Good one. I actually have rest day today. Have been eating a lot and taking my dogs for a long walk in the forest. We have 6-10cm snow all over ,so really beautiful , but my dogs are white and l forgot my glasses . When they didn't move l couldn't see them. Great fun. Tomorrow l train back and legs. Hope your day was equally nice. Stay strong 🐶
Triceps have always been my weak point. Until i discovered your videos i could never get a good burn due to either elbow pain or inefficient workouts. Thanks to your tips ive been seeing massive growth. Best trainer on youtube by far.
I only recently heard of this man and watched his content. WHAT A SHAME and LOSS that he is gone. Such a nice, smart person and effective teacher. Really sad.
This guy was fantastic with his instructions and tips !! No ego and just explained everything so well and gave you insight to the reasons of his do and don’ts .. left us way to soon. Rest Easy John. I will be using your tips today. Thank you
@@slatermauro2092 i think so, i just keep the cables high but still bend over and that works fine aswell, as long as you have both ropes for that extra range so you can get your arms behind you
I also love the sponge grip push downs. They feel great. Do you guys recommend close grip bench press if you already did a “tough” push workout with incline dumbbell and weighted dips. Would you recommend doing some intense cable rope or Tate press, kick backs with intensity only or do you usually put a close grip bench in there usually? Thanks
Damm dude! I honestly just discovered this guy and really liked how he gave out advice and tips on small adjustments!! MAN THIS BLOWS BIG TIME!! RIP buddy!
I just learned that John passed I am so sorry to hear that I have been a fan here on TH-cam for some time. John explains everything very well demonstrates things so that we can learn. I hope these videos will still play for other people to watch.👍💪
I love that cramp I get with those rope pushdowns when I really lock my shoulders back - kind of like combining a pushdown with a kick-back. It's a rare workout I don't use at least 1 Meadows technique.
Out of all the damn videos, and all the influencers i have followed so far, this was the most helpful and informative triceps video i have ever seen. Respect, RIP king 👑
Rest In Peace man. I take a lot of his advice for my workouts and he was definitely a legitimate authority on how to build our bodies the right way. Keep lifting those weights man. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Solid advice -- start with stretching/push down exercises that activate the inside long head and then move on to the skull crushers and behind neck extensions. You are an amazing teacher, John. Thanks for the well-crafted content.
i like SEVERAL warm up sets with several different machine movements and angles then 1 or 2 "meat and tater" exercises depending on the day, then i like to finish with a really deep stretch movement, like a behind the head 1 arm extension and really letting the weight dip down as deep as possible
Wish I followed his videos sooner. Rip. Only recently back to gym after years off. His inspirational videos are helping me with my depression and anxiety to get back to the gym. Rip John.
Oh my God I think this gentleman was one of the nicest man ever and also about advice about bodybuilding or working with your body in any shape or form the way he explained it made you understand truly missed love for his family and comic books I appreciate him and I appreciate his love for his wife and family God bless you always remember kids your father is always in you and he will shine bright at all the knowledge that he is giving you even though he’s not with you he will be always there in your heart and drive you to better and bigger things in the future God bless you all
What a great person Jhon was/is . WHile all the other training always are attacking the ways other do excercies . He simple explaing you every movement, without have to attack any other youtubre .
Thank you for bringing your knowledge of training into the fitness community. We will all continue to teach what you preached to us and pass it to the younger generation ahead. We miss you John ❤️ until next time.
Thanks, John. Even when I competed I never have been able to build my medial heads. Can't wait to try your tips. Thanks for all the help you provide, John.
Yep love pin presses. Close grip bench and overhead triceps extension. Underhand tricep push downs at cable is good too! So many ways to impact those triceps!
Speaking of elbow pain, my elbow on the side are in pain due to I pulled a muscle in my upper back when I did kneeling lat pulldown last week. My back is fine now but my elbow is still slightly hurting. The more I got beat up at the gym, the more I enjoy these kind of videos focusing on avoiding injury in the long term. Thanks, John.
I love how much wealth of knowledge John had to share - a true legend. I learn something new every week when I do some research the day before hitting the gym.
You know what is more interesting and compelling than lifting and learning how to lift better? John Meadows himself. It appears he remained positive until the end, that's the way to "go out." We will all die, whether now or in 50 years, but how did you live your life? Crying, moaning and complaining that things are not fair or be positive and affect change in your life, no matter if it is small or large, it doesn't matter. Be a Mountain! Be Positive! Be Honest! Have Integrity! Work hard, but also work smart.
Also the years of lifting actually increases the density of the muscles, so yeah, Mr. Meadows has tons of experience, which also ads to the ''look'' on his muscles.
Tip #1 is definitely something I wish I learned earlier! I've been powerlifting since 2002 and I have a clicky elbow already, skull crushers are basically a no-go for me at all. Recently I've done more hypertrophy based work with skullcrushers as the final triceps exercise. I think that's the only way I can train them now, pre-fatiguing them.
OK, Coach John ... been working the upper body with the '3 Tips' series; chest, bi's and now tri's .. love these. Time to move to those quads. Gotta build that base.
Another great video John I really look forward to these and it says an enormous amount about your commitment to sharing your knowledge and expertise with us who follow your channel especially during this past year and what you personally have had to contend with. Many thanks. Jim Harrison. Cheshire. UK.
Love this guy. Knows what he is talking about (obviously lol) but is a complete gentleman about it. Really wants to share his ideas with people to help them. Thank you Mountaindog!
Note for self: 1, Do elbow-threatening exercises last 2, More time on long head, max stretch 3, Floor bench press for medial, come up and flex at time.
I'm an armwrestler and I'll tell you the JM presses really help my elbow pains . That's a great rehab workout for the elbows which imo is another positive to do them once a week at least
Literally was about to head out and hit shoulders and arms and booom saw Mr. meadows had a video up AND it was triceps. I've used all my luck for the month.
RIP John. You will be sorely missed. Thank you for everything you brought to us over the years. :((
It’s so sad, man. I came back to see the comment that i left that he liked…
Absolutely! Great teacher!
Truly a great person hard to find now days
He is not Rip mfs.

Tip no 1 is the most important as saving healthy joints is a priority ,,, you’re an expert john

The dual ropes are amazing it's exactly like a tricep kickback but with cables and more constant tension
Do u think it would work even more like a kickback if i set the cables low and bent over slightly more?
@@slatermauro2092 i think so, i just keep the cables high but still bend over and that works fine aswell, as long as you have both ropes for that extra range so you can get your arms behind you

Overhead dumbbell for tricep is king for me. Really gets nice DOMS for couple days in the long head mostly. Helped me get better at pushes too.

Diamond push ups really helped me add mass near the elbow, just body weight but high volume
the straight push downs for tris have blown my arms out immensly,thanks for the info💪
I miss John’s advice. Very knowledgeable about bodybuilding and nutrition. RIP John🙏🏼. Prayers to his beautiful family. Hang in there

Every advice you give is something to be considered, tried and most of the times implemented
Thank You
I find it hard to watch these videos because john was with me at the start of my gym journey, god bless 🙏🏽
The last tip will help me alot I never used to lockout on most tricep exercises now I know what to do. Thanks John
Finally, now I can have shirt fillers like John.
Just buy smaller shirts 😂

Don’t compare yourself to these folks. They’re all on hella juice

Glad you like them!
Enjoy the eternities John! Thanks for leaving this channel and all your content for us! You left a great legacy! You will be missed! Nobody like you

Waiting for Next E.g Back Leg Abs etc
No matter the video, that “all right hi everybody!” just makes my day
Love the series. Got an amazing pump from your biceps tips
Great to hear!
Great stuff! This is Mountain Dog Academy :) Being older - that tip about lying extensions last is a game changer. Pin presses, floor presses - yes!

John reminds me of a trustworthy high school gym teacher.
I never met one but he reminds me of what one would be like.
Most are TOO trustworthy and they diddle kids. Just watch out.
@@PULAG that's the definition of untrustworthy IMO.

Note for self:

2, More time on long head, max stretch
3, Floor bench press for medial, come up and flex at time.
Great video John! I’m going to try the double rope 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
" Not meant to make you think hard " - John Meadows.
Made me laugh there.
Dual ropes are so key for so many exercises. I carry two with me at all times in my bag :)
Rip John and thank you. You’re lessons live on.
Another informative video we can understand. Thank you Dad!
I’ll apply this once gyms reopen here in portugal again! :( great video John! As always !
3:11 is a GAME CHANGER. Thanks Mountain Dog! Rest in power!!
I appreciate the anti-injury advice.
I'm an armwrestler and I'll tell you the JM presses really help my elbow pains . That's a great rehab workout for the elbows which imo is another positive to do them once a week at least
Thanks. I have moved skull crushers to later in my workout.
Perfect timing for my Arm day today !
Rock on!
Some much knowledge and wisdom, no matter what age..MD1 everybody!!
1:49 The thumbs up and the cheeky smile made me laugh.
