David Nance thanks. Wonder where the LCA shirt came from. Edit: nvm, apparently OHIO has a school by that name. No relation to liberty university though.
"My short version of it..." > 17 minutes long. I hope everyone here appreciates the sheer volume of content and knowledge Meadows is dropping here. I'm a Powerlifter who's busted through a heap of PRs because of this knowledge. Cheers from New Zealand @John Meadows.
Your father was a huge inspiration for The world of strength and fitness, I'm sure he showed you The Path to bem a great Man like he was. I know How hard you miss him like I miss my dad. be strong🙏
Love your sons shirt! We really need that message spread! As a dad of three, I can tell you’re a really good dad. You’re a great inspiration! You seem to excel in family, faith, business and bodybuilding. Keep up the great work John! God bless you and your family.
Coming from a 43 year old father... I appreciate these joint saving or safer movements... And Alexander... Man! That's a REALLY special mind. What a gift ❤️
John Meadows has the best training information put out on UA-cam. And he puts in his own experience too. That's why I watch this channel almost on the daily basis. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
WOW!!! Your son blasting through that decahedron is amazing!! I am 40+ yrs old and just learned how to do a rubik's cube, probably need another 40+ to figure out a decahedron. You have a smart young man on your hands. As always, great content in the video as well
This was great to know. I've always performed cluster sets as you described for strength and power athletes. Not for hypertrophy. I love how you incorporate these intensity techniques to safely take a set beyond the point of failure. Your method sounds similar to an extended rest-pause set where you get really disgusting with a movement. Thanks a million for taking the time to record and publish these instructional videos. They're super helpful
I really enjoy your video, no matter what the subject, you have an incredible way of talking to people. And I learn something from every video. Keep it up. THANK YOU SEAN
This video came out at the perfect time for me. Competitive powerlifter here benching 4 times a week, after my next comp, I will start training for strongman season. Benching will have to take a step back in favor of OHP and log, but i don`t want to eliminate bench all together. So I was looking to add bench as an accessory at the end of the day, cluster/density sets 2 times a week to get the volume in, in shorter time and at lower intensity. I really like your approach to hypertrophy and I will definitely use it. Thank you John for the best information, when ever I have any questions about bodybuilding I check your channel and always get an answer I can use.
Thank you MD!! I have so many videos to watch in order to catch up. Amazing quality of content!! I love to do muscle rounds when I'm at home just to pump without going overboard. I love you shirt and more importantly, Alexander is really talented!
Watched the video as it just showed up on my feed now, and realized I do some of this work already. I don' do it exactly as said i the video but close-ish. Great explanation of something I wasn't even thinking I was doing.
@@mountaindog1 I never did that stuff. One of my high school math teachers told me about that and is a cuber as well and I learned to solve a 2x2 from him.
John what we LOVE about your videos is the really informative content, no drama , name calling to get more subs or stupid natty or not videos they drive us nuts . Stay just as you are John ! All the best from the UK
been waiting for this one i vahe apply cluster sets since i sawit on youre videos much results on my body , and a also your son is some kind of prodigy maaan his awesome
Each concept John discussed here is explained so clear and to the point it's amazing - when I'm at the gym at peak time there may not be a bench or a squat rack available, so sometimes I would do a safer exercise and cluster it to maintain a good intensity but I went to failure each time and waited maybe 10 seconds - time to make adjustments :)
Great new video John! I'll have to try clusters sets in my next workout. I just got done doing a back workout inspired by the video you done with Miloš Šarčev and Luke Carroll.. My back has got the best pump I've ever experienced. Kudos to you buddy!
Great topic John. Josh Bryant also discusses cluster sets in his videos. I use them a lot in my training as a safe way to gain strength and promote hypertrophy
Great vid John, I always call those rest-pause...terminology is always funny in hypertrophy :-) but the labels are not what's important, really top notch advice - thanks for sharing.
I really like cluster type rest pause sets. Even as a an activator and pre-exhaust, e.g. pec deck or leg extensions, or later as a finisher for rear delts, triceps or bicpes. But why not also for bigger body parts, where those hammer strength press and row machines shines. Easy to set up and focus just on intensity. I prefer picking a weight allowing me to aim for 10-12 reps, which after shooting for 4-6 rest pause sets (smaller body parts even more) with hitting that rep range also. Rest time around 15-20 sec seems good. If getting more reps then probably too much rest or too light. This will really get those muscles firing and exhausting them, just focus on driving every rep, then rest and breath well and start again asap. The fatigue will accumulate quickly and it'll metabolically demanding as well.

John, looking at your sons shirt,I'm wondering if you live in my area in VA.
hope to see rest pause sets being covered in the next video
Can you put it in lamin terms lol, what exactly is a “ cluster set “
@@RoronoaZorosHaki John lives out side of Columbus Ohio.
David Nance thanks. Wonder where the LCA shirt came from.
Edit: nvm, apparently OHIO has a school by that name. No relation to liberty university though.
I feel strong, then I watch John and feel weaker. I feel smart, then I watch John's son and feel dumber. That's a talented family right there.
hahaha!
The real secret we want to know is where John gets all these shirts at.
Same! Groot, Granite, iron Rebel and this one lol
Free advertising?
Indeed!
I love that shirt?!
You son is amazing!!
3xl dwarf
I wondered that too.
your son would be a good jiujitsu practitioner with his problem solving skills and hand eye coordination
Smh.....
Could trip up opponents and choke em with the yoyo too!
🤦♂️
You have a very intelligent young man there. Nice to see you taking an interest in the things he enjoys. Great video as always. THANK YOU!

Damn your son is smart as hell
My dumb a** thought it was a paper ball at first haha
hahaahaha!!!!
Is that a Darth Vader toaster? Turns all your bread to the dark side I presume.
yes
LOL
It’s a memento from his dad, to remember him by
This guy is probably my favourite workout channel right now
Your the weight lifting father figure I never had. Miss you dad 😢
Your father was a huge inspiration for The world of strength and fitness, I'm sure he showed you The Path to bem a great Man like he was. I know How hard you miss him like I miss my dad. be strong🙏
Best intro on youtube
Alright hey everybody
I admire the way John promotes other UA-camrs by including them or mentioning them in his videos.
Alexander, You are bright like Your father. He was so proud of you. You will be a great man as he was.
Love your sons shirt! We really need that message spread! As a dad of three, I can tell you’re a really good dad. You’re a great inspiration! You seem to excel in family, faith, business and bodybuilding. Keep up the great work John! God bless you and your family.
thank you so much
Mountain dog you're son is a genius he has a very bright future for sure,thanks for all you're vids they help me sooo much
It's wild how much I learned in just a few minutes here. Miss him, miss him, miss him.
WOW THE BRAINS THAT RUN IN THE MEADOWS FAMILY! What your son did was extremely impressive for anyone let alone someone his age!
Coming from a 43 year old father... I appreciate these joint saving or safer movements... And Alexander... Man! That's a REALLY special mind. What a gift ❤️
It is so nice you say to your son you are impressed, thats what a dad should do, unfortunately many fail. Well done sir.
John says “think outside the box” while wearing that shirt. Love it 😂
Love rest pause techniques. Incorporate them into every workout. I always choose rest pause over Drop Sets. Believe they are more effective.
Best version of intensity booster sets ever made, huge Thanks for bringing it to US John. Hope you get to do them in heaven💪❤️
John Meadows has the best training information put out on UA-cam. And he puts in his own experience too. That's why I watch this channel almost on the daily basis.

RIP Vince Gironda. The original pioneer of cluster sets. Glad you’re talking about this amazing technique John.
Vince was awesome
That kid is going to be doing big brain work in the future. Impressive. 👍
Between your voice, your demeanor, your info and your son's tricks this channel is awash with wholesomeness.

Hi John, i love your videos. You are so inspiring. Since i found your Chanel i'm finally making progress. Thank you soooo much

Your son is smart. I can sense him being really good at math
Master jedi?
@@gman2419 sure. John's son has a lot of potential
he's in this things called Math Olympics
@@mountaindog1 I never did that stuff. One of my high school math teachers told me about that and is a cuber as well and I learned to solve a 2x2 from him.
Your son's a genius for being able to solve that Rubik's Dodecahedron! That's pretty amazing.
Great video. As always. Thank you John.
John, this is definitely my favorite channel on UA-cam. And what your son did with that cube was very impressive.
:)
Such quality information that you are sharing with us John! Thank you very much, this is amazing!
My pleasure!
I’m pretty sure Alexander is a genius. Great info on clusters. Thank you
Great advice. Congratulations to Alexander what an ability!. Congrats for you too, great trainer, great dad, gret bodybuilder, great youtuber!!
Valuable information, I will apply this to my arm training later today. I’ll do one cluster set for bicep curls, and one for skull crushers. Thanks!
John what we LOVE about your videos is the really informative content, no drama , name calling to get more subs or stupid natty or not videos they drive us nuts . Stay just as you are John ! All the best from the UK

Alexander showcasing those skills!
Awesome dad/son moment! Love the Darth Vader Toaster!!!

Great information John, great work on the puzzle cube thing, and cool tee shirts guys🍀🍀
Excellent information, I will incorporate the technique. Thank you sir.

thank you - I dont know how I could make it any easier to understand!
Great video and even greater content, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! This definitely helped a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super informative

Thanks
I added several points to my "Tips from MountainDog" file. Thank you!
Great new video John! I'll have to try clusters sets in my next workout.
I just got done doing a back workout inspired by the video you done with Miloš Šarčev and Luke Carroll.. My back has got the best pump I've ever experienced.
Kudos to you buddy!
Great explanation John.

Fantastic topic.
Cool toaster!

Alexander is brilliant! Keep at that puzzlin!
The segment of your son solving that dodobirdquadcube thing is epic. Lol that's what it's called right 😂✌🏾
Top notch guy!
Great info man, so cool when you put your son in the vids man.
I threw in the cluster set yesterday on chest and good lord what a difference. I will definitely use more of the cluster sets.
nice!
Love the T shirt 👍 and of course the video 🙏
Great vid John, I always call those rest-pause...terminology is always funny in hypertrophy :-) but the labels are not what's important, really top notch advice - thanks for sharing.
That’s definitely one smart kid!
I really like cluster type rest pause sets. Even as a an activator and pre-exhaust, e.g. pec deck or leg extensions, or later as a finisher for rear delts, triceps or bicpes. But why not also for bigger body parts, where those hammer strength press and row machines shines. Easy to set up and focus just on intensity. I prefer picking a weight allowing me to aim for 10-12 reps, which after shooting for 4-6 rest pause sets (smaller body parts even more) with hitting that rep range also. Rest time around 15-20 sec seems good. If getting more reps then probably too much rest or too light. This will really get those muscles firing and exhausting them, just focus on driving every rep, then rest and breath well and start again asap. The fatigue will accumulate quickly and it'll metabolically demanding as well.
Damn that kids good
Thank you!
That puzzle would have taken me ten years not ten minutes. Well done 💪🏼
I can't operate the TV without help, and your kid just solved the impossible . Impressive
hahaha! I feel you
