I can't believe.. The clock is always ticking.. Seeing how you lived & didnt let your passion out balance family I aspire to be a father figure like you
John, I really hope you continue doing these Q&A’s they’re very informative. Not only did you help me with the questions I had but I’m able to learn so much in an hour and for that, thank you!
Subscribing to you is one of the best things that has happened in my training journey, John! I've have gained 2 kilos and dropped 2 percent bf by following your training and nutritional advices for just one month. The pumps and strength that I had in the workout were friggin awesome. After two years of wandering through all the youtube fitness contents, I have finally found the training style that suits me the best. You are truly a godsend to the youtube fitness community!
Such a great guy with honest & great information! I wish John was my uncle so I can just go over and sit on his porch and listen to stories of the early days of bodybuilding. The best fitness UA-cam Channel!
It's so awesome hearing about people being 13 years old and discovering this content. They have their entire life infront of them with the best information and good training programs. When I was young I trained the bro-split 5 days a week. Everything to failure and hardly grew because of low frequency. Imagine if I knew all this amazing stuff when I was 13. Oh my.
I have the utmost respect for you John. As a fellow father, I really love the support you give to your children. And of course I completely respect your industry knowledge !
So good to see you are doing better. Love the family involvement; reppin' Alexander's new channel and hearing you do 'the Dad thang'. 3 weeks back in the gym and have put several of your training and nutrition tips into play and am seeing some substantial games. Once 'in shape' and ready, I'm going to try one of your programs. Thanks for all you're doing, John.
Not gonna lie john I’ve watched a lot of fitness channels and yours is the most informing and helpful. You don’t throw out bulshit like most channels. 100% respect you
I said this before and I'll say it again. John looks so healthy these days is great to see him recovering so well after that hospital visit a few months ago.
If you wanna have strong biceps but not risk tendinitis from heavy curls, strict form chinups and static holds at the very top of the range will seriously help, also look up arm wrestling training for arms, they do incredibly specific training with amazing results over time
Hi John I really enjoy your Q&A’s this latest one being no exception excellent content as always but more than that you are looking so much more healthier and sounding much more relaxed which is great too see.Looking forward to the next set of videos.Very best wishes. Jim Harrison Cheshire UK.
ralf möller was actually a pretty famous bodybuilder in germany. He was part of that era when bodybuilding became more mainstream in Germany (late 80s early 90s when arnold had his run in hollywood). He probably would have faded into obscurity by now if his medieval looking mug didn't win him a part in the classic movie gladiator, which immotalized him. He is still in shape and still does commercials, still looking like his character in gladiator.
I take a different approach to your pwo. I take it 3 to 4 days a week. On the days I don't, usually a light nootropic, granite recovery and non stim pump.
I Always miss these live Q & A 😢 BUT I am watching now. I'm so So Glad your feeling good & looking Good / Healthy. I Enjoy watching Alexander's Yo Yo. He's GREAT 👍 and I Tottally Agree with the kid's on Tic Toc.😲 omg I Can't believe what the kid's are doing and watching 👀 at first I thought I would do it just for fun ! Because I was going down the Rabbit Hole on the Covid thing Anxiety & depression. So I wanted Funny! Then I noticed the majarty that was following me was kid's. Now I didn't do anything unappropriate, but nevertheless I thought ??
What is your opinion on adding glutamine to my list of supplements. I am taking creatine, amino and periodically a protein shake. Thanks for the great content and glad that you doing well.
I should have given the following info in last post. Im overweight...BMI is probaly 30 maybe 32 . stand 6 foot even and weigh 270lbs Im not static in my day, but I do drive a 18 wheeler and return home each night. I unload my own truck. Have a multi gym set up in my garage (powertec) I've just started using again. Was about to head to the health food store to pick up BCAA or EAA and protein powder cause Im sore as hell for 3 days after exercising.
i also hate free barbell bent over rows to death only solution for me is the smith machine, much better contraction and less pressure on the lower back and by the way 150mg of test resulting in 490 test in bloodwork is underdosed gear!
That was actually my question he answered. Injection was on a Sunday, and blood work was done the second monday after that. So 8 days. It was just when I was able to get to the lab. So the 491 or whatever I said is likely low. But my free test was just above the high end of the range.
My endocrinologist wants me to get blood drawn the day before my next injection typically, the idea being the value would show the lowest my level would be
Hi John, would you be able to find a way to post your live streams as a podcast? Long form Q&A works better as a podcast and having to keep video playback running on your phone while you do other stuff can be a pain. Thanks!
John i have a question. I used to do donkey raises for my calf with my gym partner on my back. Absolutely The best calf exercise i l know. People do not so them anymore and I do not have a gym partner anymore. How can i do donkey raises without somebody sitting on my back? Video maybe? You are fantastic John! 🥰

Hi John! Thank you for all this Info. Love To listen To you, you Explain every thing very simple 💚🙏 I want To ask you something.... I do your programme OMEGA Sentinel for woman and I have a seated Smith deadlift ... But I think that I didnt understand very well the excercice..I just do something strage..I cant To be sure that I do this right... Can I change this for sumo deadlift or Conventionnal ? Or maybe one week sumo one week Conventionnal? İ m lost with that. So if you can answer that I will be very very gracefull. Thank you again, take care yourself, we love you 💚💚💚
Hey John.. I have a question on tendons, I partially torn my bicep tendon, had surgery etc, now surffering post surgery with inflammation and pains any tips to help recovery and building tendon strength carefully.... I really enjoy your content, great advice and always positive !!
Any tips for getting rid of that last layer of fat, 40 years old very lean coming from losing lot of weight over the years. I've got a six pack just that fine line now of if I cut to much I end up like a string bean.
Hey John, love your videos! I have a question for you if you don't mind. Instead of doing 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off a highly caffeinated pre-workout, could someone instead limit their use to only 3 times per week and have that be their only source of caffeine throughout the week? Would this make it so they do not have to cycle it? Thanks!
Hi John .. I m extreme believer on you and your programs. I have have got immense changes to muscle growth. I was wondering to buy the Granite SupplementS here at India. Do we have any distributors here? I would love to give it a shot. However thanks for your videos it’s like a smart approach towards a bull headed training schedule.. Thanks a ton..
You made a comment about testosterone replacement therapy. Im 51 , type 2 diabetes controlled with meds. I have tried testosterone that you rub on your shoulders to no avail. My family doctor ok'd testosterone injections with one time use vials at 200mg once a week. That amount didn't seem to even start to raise my levels. Might have a day where I felt better with more energy, but then quickly felt back to normal. Currently and for the last 2 years without taking anything (i gave up) my level is right around 100mg/dl Any thoughts?
I don’t think the concept Coach Greg is pushing was aimed at pro builders who are 220 plus. When he talks about building muscle while in a deficit I believe he is aiming that the untrained and average population who watch his videos.
Hi John do you think women need testosterone to be a good strong functional women I like bodybuilding but I just feel I could be stronger . How much do you a women need?? Thanks 😊
Hi Deb, A woman can become very strong compared to the average population naturally. Testosterone will have masculinizing side effects most women want to avoid: thickening of the cheek, jawbones and brow ridge; enlargement of the clitoris, body and facial hair growth, deepening of the voice. I wouldn't recommend it unless the person researches it extensively, consults with their doctor to arrange regular monitoring of blood work and needs it to be competitive to earn their living in a professional sport. Hope this helps.
While I have benefitted greatly in my fitness journey from your content, I can't be seen to be associated with any person who prefers the X-men over the Avengers. Unsubbed. 😂

I said this before and I'll say it again. John looks so healthy these days is great to see him recovering so well after that hospital visit a few months ago.
It’s so sad he is gone now. He looked very healthy on the live he had few days before he passed. God bless him and his family

Best channel on UA-cam. ❤️ Keep up the good work, John.
I love these Q&As, really relaxed and some great situational info.

Thanks John
John. Talk more about High fructose corn syrup and other artificial ingredients to try and avoid. Thanks.
Great man. Great knowledge. Thanks!
I think Ralph Moeller also competed in the 87 or 88 Olympia . Weighed 270

Great video as always.
I am doing your warlock program and it takes me 2 hours every workout
Thank you UA-cam, having some short but awsome John Meadows Q&A videos during this 2 hours advertisement series was a really creative idea :'D
Thanks for the reply John I think you scared me out of it so I think I’ll just do what I can do 👍
Allright...
I take a different approach to your pwo.
I take it 3 to 4 days a week. On the days I don't, usually a light nootropic, granite recovery and non stim pump.
John could you show an example workout from the baby Groot program and Warlock?
i did one when I was coming back a month ago, it was a whole body, first day back
Ok thanks!
Some great knowledge in this video. But needs more yoyos.

His aim is to increase fitness awareness

Wise decision about getting away from Tik Tok.. Chinese run company on top of the really inappropriate stuff for young kids
