    John was a good guy. After he passed I cried because I have looked up to him as a virtual coach for like 5 or 6 years; a genuine, humble, passionate, knowledgeable bodybuilder with humbling characteristics, amazing genetics and a well known personality, he taught me good form for all exercises, exercise selection, high intensity techniques etc. I’m very 😭 that he is gone but we as a community still have his videos to look back on and cherish for long term health because to me, John is the face of bodybuilding; so passionate about what he was doing, about his lifestyle and how nice he was. JOHN MEADOWS will be DEARLY. . . DEARLY. . . DEARLY missed, condolences to his family. rip to a LEGEND in/to the industry 😢😣

As I've gotten more into bodybuilding the past few years, he was my primary source of knowledge and inspiration. So much of how I structure my training has been learned and borrowed from his methods. I'm glad you were able to meet him, I always had wished I'd have a chance someday. Hope you're doing well.

    Great tribute, Coach Joe! We’re all lifted up by the shoulders of giants. It’s clear he helped lift you. You’re also that for many people. You could see in your work with him, that he saw and admired that in you as well - I couldn’t see him working with anyone he couldn’t greatly respect. May his spirit and legacy always shine a light for you when things darken, and may you always have the strength to lift others when they are in a state of weakness. You’re great, man! Thanks for all you do.

  • @nowaynowaynottoday

    I've followed John for years now and he's totally changed the way I look at the gym. I used to think a good workout plan just meant it included all the right excercises at the right volumes. But he always saw a workout as a journey. I love his style and now a days I incorporate it as much as possible. I remember asking him questions in his live streams and when he answered one he'd really engage with you. He didn't ever rush, he just really wanted to spread his knowledge as honestly and thoroughly as he could. Truly a mentor to his core.
    Of course, as much as I respect him as a coach, I respect him even more as a human being. He was, by all accounts, a truly great man. RIP John Meadows.

    Thanks, Joey! I literally watched his last live q&a while wrapping up my too short gym visit that Friday by doing some supplement exercises at home. The news hit me early on Monday morning and was the first thing I saw as I was getting up for work. Hit real hard. It was almost unbelievable and unreal. Stunted me for the whole day. I try to keep the best of what I picked up from John with me and follow his example. If I had to choose any one person out of all my favourite gym guys, I would have to go with John, in particular for his knowledge, kindness, genuinity and grit. (But I think you, Brian and Alan hold your own pretty well!)
