Rest in peace John. You've always been a great person. You've thought many of us the basics of training and biomechanics. Can't believe you are no longer with us. You'll always be thought of when I train. Thanks for all the tips through these years!!
Hes not dead
What
John is the stinking best. His advice keeps me from injury while still gaining. You are the man
That’s right on. His advice on warming up elbows before doing skull crusher-type triceps work is perfect
@@samh3029 100% agree. John is always full of solid advice without any BS filler or hidden agendas.....just pure honesty which I appreciates as it’s so rare nowadays.
I approve this message! John is a hero! 🇺🇸💪
@@samh3029 exactly. I couldn't figure out why my tendons always hurt. Form form form
@Razor Edge you're calling him a drama queen? Fuck you haven't been on the internet long
“Having air on your head will not cause a neck injury.” Classic line. This common sense is why we’re tuning in. Thx Mtn Dog
Rest in Peace John, all the gains I've made in the gym have been because I started watching all of your videos that inspired me to start hitting the gym seriously. I started at 247 lbs at my heaviest and now I've dropped down to 205 whilst gaining muscle as I do it. God bless you and keep you john, I'm hitting my push day today and will be implementing dips in my routine.
I’ve never gotten injured following this mans advice. He’s an OG !
IMO ring dips are one of the best exercises for shoulder health, simply because they train you to really control the position of your shoulder blades & letting you build all those little stabilizers. After I did ring dips all summer long last year, I came back to bench pressing and immediately broke through my pre-Covid plateau - no shoulder issues.
My gym didn’t have rings (like most gyms) so I got myself a pair.
A few weeks into it, someone asked if they could try it. This was a guy who I’d seen do regular dips with 2 plates if not close to that and he couldn’t even stabilize himself long enough to even try a rep. I’m not knocking the guy but the whole scenario illustrates how it can be so easy to push a lot of weight in the gym do so in a way where the strength isn’t too “functional”
RIP legend. Anytime I have an inkling of a question on form or potential tips to improve a lift for myself, I still come back to this man's channel. Still run his programs. You touched a lot of lives Mr. Meadows. Going all the way back to 2011 on the ship on deployment waiting 10 minutes for T-nation articles to load getting ideas from him. May God Bless your Wife and Son's
I love John straight forward training. He’s like the Mr. Rogers of training. When I don’t want the silliness. This is who I turn to. No boasting about how many cars, clothes, shoes, material crap. Just training!
We miss you, John. We learned a lot from you and continue to learn from you thanks to your great teaching, vast knowledge and dedication to bodybuilding.
😭😭😭😭😭😭🥚
Exercise Tips:
Let your elbows ride out a bit (very subtle)
Get Wider Grip (play around with grip)
Tuck your head into your chest
Feet out in front
Range of Motion: Don't go down too far where you lose tension on triceps and chest
Can you show us how to warm up the elbows and shoulders before the dips?
Thanks coach!
This is my #1 chest exercise.
If I could only do 1 chest exercise it would be dips.
If I could only do 1 push exercise it would be dips.
I also love doing extra negative reps at the end 😃
Best regards from Iran 🇮🇷
this man is staright forward ...no showoff...no bulshit....information density of vdo is really good....and most important it works for me....i m tranning since past 10 years and john 's basic tips keep refreshing me.
RIP Mountain dog funny how I saw this video when I stardyed lifting 3 years ago now that I’m getting back to it still best advice
The elbow sleeve recommendation changed my comfort level tremendously while doing presses and dips John! Thank you!!
Absolutley bang on John. Dips have been my go to Chest exercise for last 45 yrs. And yes, Im old enough to know Vince Gironda, and actually have some of his books. Stay well.
So respect-full person to talk, no need to speak load , to insults others. My respects , he is the best.
Did these today. Man. Mountain Dog knows his stuff! Great technique!
This is how I’ve been instructing my clients for a long time. Nice to see someone so meritorious validate my preferences. Personally, I’m one of those guys who can get sternum pain from dips, doing them gymnast/gironda style has never made me feel that sternum pain.
How do u get rid of that sternum pain? They be the worst!!
@@hugueskellersaint-fleur4810 Improve your shoulder extension mobility and chest/shoulder flexibility, improve your scapular retraction/depression strength
As a novice I jus wanna say thanks I get so much outta your vids and you don’t fuck around and talk forever about shit that doesn’t apply to the title I love your vids they help me out so much thank you from Redondo beach ca
I love doing dips like this. Gironda invented them and John kept the exercise going. I am seeing some great results from this exercise. Week by week I can do more and more and eventually I am going to start adding some weight with a dip belt. I miss John, such a great channel and great teacher.
I've been doing these dips for more than a year now, and I really like them.
How were the gains? any carryover to other lifts?
Best coach ever💪💪💪💪💪💪
Much love to john, you're the man everyone appreciates you and your knowledge.Just watched a video of guy cisterino praising you.
This advice was gold...zero shoulder pain and felt more tri engagement.
Great to see a shout out for Gironda !! That guy was the template for social media trainers - imagine how many subscribers he would have had if TH-cam was around in the 60’s/70’s ?😎 He had some great insight in to mind muscle connection and kinesiology.
On that point, by dropping your head forward in dips, you relax the levator scapulae and prevent the traps from engaging strongly on the negative of the dip, this frees the shoulder joints up a little, and also means you get harder engagement of the pecs in their eccentric phase.
You are way more likely to trap a nerve or hurt your neck by looking forward or upward in a dip, than by tucking your chin 💪🏻👍
Did dips today for the first time and it was hard. Checked TH-cam for advice. Of course the best advice was from you. Miss you man!
Always top quality advice no BS no throwing sales at you.
Love this channel thanks John
Dude thanks! Had pain in my shoulder but missed doing dips, your technique worked like a charm, zero shoulder pain after 3x10
I'm glad you mentioned not doing dips first in your work out. That's great advice for beginners.
"if I can do it, you can do it"...yeah, but you're John Meadows ^^
I never did dips, they never felt right. When I found Mr. Meadows' channel a few years back I kept seeing him perform and rave about them. The first few times, I still hated them. But I kept throwing them in because hey, I trust John.
Man if I haven't started loving them lately. It's all about form, and good form requires practice!
Absolutely right on the old style dip stand with a V taper wide in the front and narrowed going back so you could find just the right width. Mostly see combo leg lift/dip stands with only one width, which is too wide for me. I did weighted dips (before my shoulders got so messed up) and would hunch over for chest, crossing my ankles or more upright for triceps. Oh if only I was just starting out now watching your videos and techniques.
There was a gym I went to back in the day that had one of those lovely large V Dip Bars.
Quality advice from somebody who has years of experience and not regurgitating stuff.
This is crucial. I messed up my shoulder a few years ago so please listen to John!
I've been watching Cavalier, Doucette, Nipard and others... But Meadows is the best... Nipard relies too much on studies, Cavalier is decent but he takes himself too serious and Doucette is entertainment. The others just don't have the depth of information and experience as John. He seems like a really decent guy too. Great video on dips
Dips are the best upper body pushing exercise. If you add pull-ups & squats you're nearly there.
All your videos are so wealthy with information. I consider myself advanced as a natural lifter but man I keep learning things from your videos
Great! Something new to try this afternoon! Of course, John says I like to add 2 or 3 plates - LOL! That gives me a goal to work toward for sure. Thank you John!
I started doing these like John a couple of years ago after seeing his vids,now it’s my go to way I try loads of John’s tips and they always work for me fantastic content most informative on TH-cam without all the gimmicks. great work John and thanks from the UK.
God bless you John and your family x ! . we all miss you , I always watch your channel your the best . 👍.
John I literally put this exercise in one of my videos on my channel ( I am definitely on a smaller scale then most TH-camr’s ) VERY SMALLER SCALE!! but I know that modified deep is definitely effective.. I use it all of the time and it helped me tremendously! Thanks again for the tips ,tricks and safety lesson John 🙏
This is the gironda dip. Its a golden era exercise that arnie used to build his chest and develop that pec line. If you guys have the range of motion, go all the way down and get a deep stretch at the bottom. You want your face level with the bar and your elbows pointed up high. If you have banged up shoulders then john’s depth works fine too
🙏🏼you were truly a legend ❤️.
doing assisted dips and doin it this way feels best! no shoulder pain.
I first saw the thumb nail and thought , hmmm, looks similar to a Gironda dip.
Then John names drop him at 2:10 - that's' why The Mountain Dog/this channel is the real deal. Any one who gives praise and reference to the iron gods before us gets my upmost respect. The nailed the blueprint aeons before we sullied them.
These dips are the only version I do. Close to a year now.
Chin tucked - feet pointed out.
This can be done really well with a proper dip station with bars in V or U -shaped (although the U shaped are nearly impossible to find in person).
Proceed with caution if trying to mimic the EXACT dip as Vince demonstrated on his people (Larry Scott for one..) as the flared out elbows will be hell on the wrist/shoulders.
Good point mentioned here by John. One deff needs to play around with the grip to fit ones personal structure.
Just added to the training log for upcoming chest day..."palm push, feet in front, tuck chin, flare elbows…john meadows style"
I remember this technique from the video you have done with Jay Cutler. I could not fully understood it then. This video definitely answers a lot of questions. Thank you.
Cant understand why anyone would hit the dislike button John is the king of bodybuilder training videos the man is a legend keep up the great videos John have a great day all the way from Scotland
I started to do this one as soon as i saw you do it, John and it works so much better. I can now really feel the chest muscle working. Before i dont know what i felt, lol
Was dipping today so I’m going to give these a go on Wednesday and hope for the best
I studied hard when you gave Sergio the pointers and do them the way you said. Use it as a finisher with my bench
Im all into ring dips. I feel my chest wayyy more than the bars, and after you get used to the stabilization, it's not a limiting factor at all. The elbows put themselves in the 'perfect' spot by themselves on the rings.
Agreed I wish my gym had some rings though.. ring dips tear your chest apart I love it
Thanks John
As always informative and encouraging ✊
Great content. You state your opinion/point of view without putting others down.
@mountaindog1
I like putting two barbells parallel in the power rack (with catches set high) for dips! This lets you play with the angle, as you can push the barbells together at one end and secure with a band or other apparatus! (TRAINING NERD MODE)
We love you john!!!!!! we will see you in the after.
As I always comment, when mr mountain says you do it! No questions asked.
Screenshot taken to do this on next push day
While I generally stay away from dips because of the potential shoulder issue, I agree with your form cues here to generally improve this movement & reduce risk of shoulder injury.
Fantastic advice. I do these kind of dips and they hit my chest much harder and can do far less reps! Keep up the great vids, great guy!
Awesome John. Thanks for all the tips and advice. I'm 51 and still lifting strong and always looking for ways to improve technique and learn something new.
Very helpful. I have had a lot of trouble with my shoulder doing dips. Thanks, John!
I adore the way you explain!!! Thank you so much!!!!
what helped me, was your advise to use bands. i used them, till i was comfortable with the movement. now i can do dips and when i fail, i switch to the band again. so i can get a really good overload. i am not using weights or chains, this will be the next level.
I love doing dips. For me it is the best upper body pushing exercise.
well vince gironda did recommend(well in his way) fulcrum pushup to make you stronger for his dip variation
Hi John, I found doing this alone with bands helps to both keep good form and assist you especially if your new to it. Using a thiner band makes it easyer than a thick one.
Back with another great Tips ! Thank you Mr. Meadows. I also do dips on every one of my Chest workouts
Excellent advice John. Could you show how to work triceps just using dumbbells? Would greatly appreciate.
I love dips! Thanks John for posting this!
Thata the vince geronda dip. Thanks for reminding me about it... Rest with Plates
Do dips he said, so i do dips. Still good advice even though you're no long with us, you're missed brother.
Great advice as always!
I really appreciate these kind of videos.
So of course I have several bulging discs in my spine from my neck all the way to my lumbar so just looking downward puts a ton of strain on my spine. However ive been trying to do my dips like this and they are certainly harder this way. I can do weighted dips primarily triceps focused with as much as 90lbs around my waist. I do chest dips with legs out front and 3 sets with just body weight is difficult. Usually ill warm up on the dip cable machine where you can sit and really focus on the squeeze. Then ill do my working sets on the bars. Been really trying to work on the lower chest development.
Darryl Conant do them best
Awesome! I always have issues when doing dips. Will give a try :)
Also question. For those with space limited home gym, Is it acceptable to bend the knees and put the feet behind?
Thank you for the great content
It's all about the angle you put your body in. Calimovement made a great video about that.
@@wyburp7970 cool I will check that out. Thank you
that is still gonna give you amazing chest gains
Mountain dog all the way baby
Love the exercise index series John and dips are great and are very individual I’ve found so finding the right form is so important to enjoying them and gaining the benefits which you have shown me and I’m sure others. Gyms are scheduled to reopen over here on the 12th April so fingers crossed I’ve missed doing them especially pec minors. Best wishes. Jim. Harrison. Chester. UK.
Ive done these dips ever since you showed them in your training video with Jay Cutler
awesome man , i will try this for sure
One of the greatest!
Hi John great video once again, I'm wondering if you could do a video on how to get the best out of your calfs, training with out machines as currently we are in lock down in the uk so training has now gone to the home gym where I'm limited to free weights. Cheers John
John rockin the 95s 👌🏽
New video uploaded: time to take notes📝
I love the way you explain everything like a teacher. Your sincere student from India🇮🇳
Thanks for the tips John!
I call these vince gironda dips i read an article he did years ago i started doing them this way,never had problems doing dips after doing it this way
No elbow pain, no shoulder impingement whatsoever, I just been struggling with some awkward sternum pain. Yes right in the middle of the chest. Any recommendations?
Love the Iron Guru getting a shoutout. Who down votes this video?
Jealous weeners.
Rest in peace king, great person
Rest in peace. John is a true gentleman.
Hey John I was going to buy a program from your site and idk if I should get the baby groot or the warlock I've trained before but that was years ago and since then I have been diagnosed with crohn's and just got over being sick where I only weighed 127 and I'm usually around 200 I just don't know which program to get but anyways thanks for all the info and God bless 🙏
Rest in peace John, you were the greatest.
You're the best diplomat for the sport...
Love the Granite protein 🙏👍🏻💯✊🏼
Hi. Do you think chest dips are enough for overall chest development? Gyms are closed where I am right now and all I have is dip bars and a couple kettlebells. Cheers
John, is it possible to emphasize a particular part of the chest with dips e.g. more upper chest or more lower chest by changing body position?
Awesome stuff! I also like to have my feet pointed out! I feel my core is engaged better and I’m tighter. One question though, I perform my dips facing the other way. Is there any problem in this? I use the matador dip attachment from rogue so I face the squat rack when I dip.
love you,really helped me a lot sir
Dips really helped me feel my chesticles working. (Even though we know it doesn't work the chest)
Dips don't work thhe chest? It's like you are the dumbest person alive!
@@cithr0963 I think you missed the sarcasm
@@cithr0963 Why the harsh comments? You don’t even know the guy.
I was using sarcasm.
