You hear people say all the time, "Bodybuilders aren't strong. They have pretty muscles, full of water. etc." But, my God: 150 lbs dumbbells in each hand?? Incredible strength.
These legendary grand masters always just drop little gems like its nothing..lol. The "tiny incline on your flat" is another gem that just slapped my face.. Makes total sense..
Shauns a beast. Great video. Love the emphasis on intensity while focusing on form and feeling the muscle you are trying to work. Really shows why guys like Shaun are at the elite level. Perfecting the basics can go a long ways.
Man, everytime I watch your videos I always learn something new and I get Incredibly motivated to go hit the gym, and seeing Shaun In action was awesome aswell, I've become a huge fan John!
And Shaun regained the title in Dec 2022! A tribute and honor to his coach (and ours too) John Meadows. I cried when Flex Wheeler was interviewing Shaun after the win and mentioned John Meadows passing away. RIP mountaindog. I miss you dearly.
This reminds me of the King of the Hill episode where Bill goes to the supplement store and eventually trains with Macho Man Randy Savage at the gym. I say this because of all the grunting. Good times.
Dude said “liiight weight”!!!! He’ll yea… John you need to mentor some guys to be like you on the training side and expand, you have sooo much knowledge
That is some hard core ish right there .. working out in a barn when it's 90+ degrees. Only saw some kids who are probably getting ready for football season. No daisies sitting on benches txting. Was feeling a bit shorted, as the thumbnail said 'chest and shoulders'. Doing shoulders after that ... wow. Waiting for the video to drop.
He literally pressed 170s for 10 or 12 reps on a slight incline a while ago. Pound for pound hands down one of the strongest bodybuilders on the planet.
@@Benjamin-w41 I’m not downplaying how much of a tank he is but u generally find this with shorter bodybuilders. For example Franco Columbo was renowned for being pound for pound strongest bodybuilder in his time. Like a 700lb+ deadlift at sub 200lbs and that was in the 70s.
maybe not inhuman, i can get reps with the 120's and i weigh bout 165, and yep his stage weight is 180ish but here in this vid he isn't stage ready and is probably sitting at about 220ish
Hi John what a competitor Shaun is and comes across as a really nice guy,those 150’s were nearly as big as Shaun! Great information and thank you for providing it. Very best wishes. Jim Harrison. Cheshire. UK.
Hi John, Awesome video! Great work out, you both looked really strong! Really looking forward to the shoulder workout. Big thank you for making the video. Cheers, Billy
Hi John good content as always a good old school chest schedule of exercises Arnold and Franco would be proud of you can't wait to see the shoulder schedule of exercises stay safe and healthy
Being sweaty when working out is what I do! .. I have to wear a bandana, or I risk my sweat short circuiting my headphones. Putting on the bandana has become quite a ritual every morning, before hitting the gym though. So that helps
Yall workin hard this day. Make me near about feel weak. Lol. It goes a long way having a motivational workout partner. I've always worked out with my dad and I love him to death, but he is always so overly worried about hurting himself that he ends up being kind of a downer. I definitely believe in not hurting yourself, but you can get so paranoid because of past injuries that you limit yourself too much. Dad always quits about the time his working set starts kicking in. I just wish he'd like tap into that man beast mode a little bit and instead of saying "be careful, don't hurt yourself", he'd say "screw your pain! Lift that weight up son!" I just know he'd start seeing more of the results he wants if he would have that mentality a little more. And he wouldn't hurt himself either because he has always had impeccable form.
On the matter of warming up: Do you prefer any specific setup? I'm thinking like pyramid, low reps, high reps, something else. I myself feel like the warming up is basically for me to get in the groove. I've been a fan of the "CNS warming up" since I read Jim Wendler's 5-3-1. For those of you that don't know it's basically a cluster set or pyramid, no rest, going 5-5-3 on your main lift, about 40-50-60% of your max. But like I said I sometimes also go more like 20-15-10 with alittle rest in between, depeding on exercise, preferably more "bodybuilding". TL:DR; What's your nicest way to warm up for bodybuilding?
Alright hi John Meadows, everybody here.
Couldn’t have messed that up more lol
Nailed it
LOL!!

Whoa! Is this a new camera? This is CRISP image quality.
Love it when John shows aggression . He’s always too cool for school

Shaun is so chill. Shaun looks like he would kiss the homies goodnight
100%
On god
Shaun’s set on the pec flyes: Olympia level effort!!
Literally about to work chest and this pops up. John Meadows, we love you 🐐
Alright, hi everybody, the first person to watch here

OMG you did it

Look at shaun's forearms man🔥🔥
What a vid man!! Literally couldn’t get any better!! Making free weights look they are pressing on a machine!! So damn clean abs smooth, top class!!
Man, everytime I watch your videos I always learn something new and I get Incredibly motivated to go hit the gym, and seeing Shaun In action was awesome aswell, I've become a huge fan John!
Shaun is putting in the work of a champion. Great vid! I feel like hitting the gym.

No wonder Shaun is a champion! Hard worker. Thanks John for all the explanations

cardio? pffft
No agony, no bragony!
Learning from the master and the champ! Great video John!
Rest in peace John, we love you.
Yessir, pls keep bringing more video's thanks ❤💪❣️🇺🇲
This is how it's done ladies and gentlemen
Shaun is a beast. The 315 on incline was impressive. He is very smooth. Im all over the bench when the weight goes up, but he is a pro.
Man that workout was beast, especially knowing that it was hot is a whole another level
The heat gets pretty brutal in the barn but I feel like I get a better workout when it’s like that. Looking forward to the shoulder video!
Great video John, I'm so happy to see you so strong and healthy after last year scare. Shaun is one of my favorite bodybuilder
Dude said “liiight weight”!!!! He’ll yea… John you need to mentor some guys to be like you on the training side and expand, you have sooo much knowledge
John Meadows, not just the coach but the workout partner. Respect

I love when Shaun meets with uncle John, ultra sayan mode is always ON
Damn. Did he just do 10@150?!! Man. I think inspirational is like an understatement. 🔥
God damn Shaun is a machine on that incline
John, you’re the best in the business,
3:06 Shaun's strength is inhuman, the dudes stage weight is like around 180 and he's pressing 150s, doesn't make any sense
he is a beast. I can barely do 2 reps with 150 and I am 254 lbs (around 22% bodyfat, dont laugh at me lol)

@@jackjohnson4701, he guestposed at 198 lbs about 3 weeks ago. :-) Pretty sure he has not been 220 yet.
It must feel amazing to be Johns age and work out with mr Olympia and keep up with him
Holy shit 150s omg 😮
Honestly this video reminds me of the old Ronnie videos. Awesome energy and work ethic 🔥
He was right, shauns incline reps are perfect
Hi John what a competitor Shaun is and comes across as a really nice guy,those 150’s were nearly as big as Shaun! Great information and thank you for providing it. Very best wishes. Jim Harrison. Cheshire. UK.
Glad you enjoyed it
Shaun out here holding more than I can barbell bench in one hand
Sounds so much like clubber lang i love it
Good shit, got give it to John he works out hard, the dynamic duel
Hi John,
Awesome video! Great work out, you both looked really strong! Really looking forward to the shoulder workout.
Big thank you for making the video.
Cheers,
Billy
Love this. Makes me want to move some weight. Great video; informative and inspiring.
Same here
Such an OG video slang and bang! RIP to the greatest and my favorite 🙏🏽💯💯
These two guys together... freak out brother yea!!!
Very nice camera and warm colour of the video! Good session!
Great job guys good luck on your show 💪
3:05 that YEEEP LIGHT WEIGHT killed me XDD
2:07 30 Degrees is the angle they say works upper chest more effective for incline bench like he said "Quarter under the bench"
Hey John awesome workout bro shaun is a cool guy good to see you guys working together 👌👍💪
The quality!!!
Hi John good content as always a good old school chest schedule of exercises Arnold and Franco would be proud of you can't wait to see the shoulder schedule of exercises stay safe and healthy
Simple and brutal
No BS ❤️
60fps is another level of picture. Feels exhilarating.
I’m surprised you did the flies before the bench. Awesome work, man. Be careful in that heat
How can you watch Shaun and not want to go into the gym and blow your shoulders out lol...what a savage!
Being sweaty when working out is what I do! .. I have to wear a bandana, or I risk my sweat short circuiting my headphones.
Putting on the bandana has become quite a ritual every morning, before hitting the gym though. So that helps
Gr8 Channel, THANK YOU 😊😊
Shaun strength is unreal ....🤯
Shaun is Amazing 😊💪👍
Great video, your one of the best. And great form, couple of Beasts...
No screwing around 🤘🏆 That's the way to go 🐺💜
That was impressive! Some people don't understand ohio heat, it has been HOT here!
Awesome content. Thx john for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome, love these videos 😄🏋♀️💪👍
So much good energy
Yesss he’s back!
love those videos, keep them coming!
Super good video quality!
Thanks!
Love it John
Great insights on advanced techniques
Count on John to bring a good quality athlete on his channel to train with.

Those 150s are just as brutal as Shaun himself.
My gym the same way they refuse to turn the AC on. Leaving like pissed myself
They really went at it! Good stuff
Awesome bro !! Not mountain dogs. Mountain wolves and yetis monsters !!

Who in their right mind could dislike this video?
That was some pure fire🔥🔥🔥Pls give us a leg day and an arm day as well... ❤️❤️❤️
Straight up. Want to see how Shaun works legs prepping for the Arnold and Olympia.
Damn the KID is really strong!!
@@Iuxaries nickname
Great guy
‘’You don’t wanna just jump from 40’s to 130’s.’ No worries, John!
Perfect timing Chest Day tomorrow!
There's nothing like some good ole Ohio heat and humidity in side the gym.
Yes, kill it boys, get after it,
shoulder and arms day for me
lets gooo
Awesome workout!
Lol. My dumbell warmups are with 30lb dumbbells and my 10 rep failure set is with 60 pounders. I got a long way to go
So cool videos 🙂
R.I.P John Meadows
Shaun's forearms are so big it make his arms look short
His arms are so short that it makes them condensed and bigger
That bench is clean.
damn what a kick ass workout!!
Thing i will try some dips for chest day on monday
REST IN HEAVEN JOHN WE MISS YOU
INTENSITY!!!
Insane chest workout
Daymmm the quality over here is nasty🔥🔥
Shaun's arms though. I mean really.
Beast mode💪🏽
