rest in peace john, brings tears to my eyes. The love this man had for bodybuilding and his class and humbleness is unmatched. My thoughts go out to the family Meadows and friends
Hey John, my dad was always overweight and I showed him your channel and narrated the videos for him(he doesn’t speak english). He got so moved by your videos with your kids and your heart scare that he started working out with me. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you may not realize it but you changed my life for the better!!! Keep the content comming
A part of what I enjoy about your vids is that although you're a pro and train like Mountaindog with some screws loose, you're cordial and open-minded. At 30, it's great for me to see an older lifter changing the toxic gym and parenting culture I grew up in. You're a great example that you don't have to be an asshole to be serious or competitive. Big thanks from a fan over here in Zambia. Stay safe everyone.
Only problem is the chlorine and pool chemicals, even chlorine in the water you shower in can be an issue so some people get shower filters, but I have well water so not really an issue. Some people into dry fasting won't even shower during it as skin can absorb enough of the water to break a water fast, and also negative things in the water. Killing bacteria on your body isn't good either, good microbes on your skin is good too not just in the gut. I try to just stick to deodorant salts under arms to help control BO and that's it. It's a lot harder following a diet that's mostly keto and based on high quality animal foods because it increases BO, but that's actually a good thing, it means you're producing hormones optimally. I kinda wish people would learn to just take the bad microbes with the good instead of just try to kill them all, which just lowers natural immunity to the bad, if things were naturally in balance the bad microbes would seldom be an issue but for too many people things are naturally out of balance and really difficult to near impossible to correct these days, not enough people are in good enough health to handle the bad microbes, but a lot of the ways we cope with it just makes it worse and tends to create super bugs. Properly raised 100% grass-fed beef tends to be antibiotic-free for a reason, they tend not to get sick, grain-fed beef does. Humans are no different, most people's diets are more messed up than they realize. Fat from grain-fed animals is about as bad as refined seed oils, in some ways worse because animals store toxins in their fat. Fat and oils you eat tend to get stored directly as fat, rather than converted into fat like other macros(or for herbivores, plant fiber gets converted to healthy fats), so fat from grain-fed animals practically is like seed oils, high in omega 6's and linoleic acid, just not as high. Same with humans, doing intermittent fasting and keto where you're going through body fat stores a lot, if your fat stores are too high in omega 6 and toxins, you'll get symptoms from it when burning through the stores. But over time it'll probably speed up correcting omega imbalances in the body, as long as you stick to quality fats when you eat, doing just one keto meal a day you'll burn through more fat stores, and store a lot of the fat you eat in one meal. Fat from quality animal foods is ideal, as it's the closest to your own body fat, coconut oil is great too. I don't do really strict keto and not usually OMAD or anything especially since I started training at least once a week. I do first half of training fasted, then after completing upper body I'll have raw honey and grass-fed whey, do upper body stretches and give carbs enough time to get into muscle, then cardio on a bike to warmup legs, then do legs. Next time I do lower body fasted and upper after whey/honey. Otherwise I just have carbs if I feel like cortisol is getting too high to sleep well, I'll have some raw honey before sleep, but my stress is generally great on keto and I sleep better if anything, I think it's largely genetic or maybe people not giving keto adaptation enough time. Raw honey is already broken down into readily available glucose and fructose so it's great for post/intra workout where faster absorption helps for gaining lean muscle after fasted training. It's kind of a post/intra/pre-workout all at once. It's just enough carbs to maintain some adaptation to using them efficiently for fuel, and get lean muscle gain and performance benefits. Also doing mostly keto helps maintain gains if you only train once a week, but train to failure the last set of every exercise, and I'm not afraid to make sure I'm eating around the clock and enough to get gains 4-5 days a week, then I can cut 2-3 days a week with 1-2 meals a day and stay lean so I might just train once a week especially since I do manual labor weekdays. I'm sorry for the long comment, I can turn just about anything into a rant lol. I should really just get a camera and start a channel on this since I'm actually getting serious about it, but I've only been training 3 months and I'm 34 so it'll be a while before I get enough results for anyone to take me seriously, probably 9 more months.
I also know these kinds of things tend to stress people out to think about or like it's ruining all the fun in life, I get it I've been there. But after a while you get past that, and it actually helps stress if anything when you learn these things and get more serious about avoiding negative things as much as you can and feel so much better. I'd been getting better about it for years, then getting into training just seemed like a natural progression once I realized my diet was already on point for nutrition and near the protein I'd need to build lean muscle, and you hardly need a calorie surplus as a natty at my age, like 100-200 calories is fine, maybe 200-300(or about a 10-15% surplus for me) training days, then either maintenance when doing 1-2 meals or a 200-300 deficit nothing too crazy. I actually feel the opposite way about some things too, like realizing a lot of veggies aren't as good or necessary for health as people think especially when you remove the negative things they help make up for in the first place, and high quality animal foods are healthy and I love eating them. That, and sun screen is actually negative and can actually increase cancer risk if it causes vitamin D deficiency, and zinc oxide can absorb in the skin if it's not non-nano and potentially cause high zinc especially if you're diet is high in animal foods. Getting regular enough sun to have a good enough tan to prevent burning, getting sun is actually very healthy and beneficial, just keep it in controlled regular doses to avoid burning, rather than avoid the sun and then need sun screen to avoid burning in more extreme cases of sun exposure. Even 15-30 minutes with as little clothing as you can get away with during peak UV index as often as you can should work to get skin used to sun exposure. Taking astaxanthin can help too, all the cells of the body take it in and it helps protect skin from sun burn/damage and could probably resist skin cancer too, probably far more effective than sun screen, but it might take a couple months of taking it for the skin cells to take enough in. Helps the eyes too.
Such a good hearted,level headed genuine individual you are John.. family is at the heart of all you do and it shows so naturally. Nice to see Jonathan too, he's camera shy compared to Alexander lol. Inspirational in all you do... and you have kept me going over here in lockdown with the resistance band videos. Back to the gym now though 💪 thank the lord. All my respect.. Delboy from Birmingham England.
John, I was a swimmer for over 10 years in hs and college. It is great conditioning, strengthens the legs, core, etc. and helped me tremendously when I discovered weightlifting! Great to see them learning!!!
John, great video thank you for a look into your day and the diet information. I was a rescue swimmer many years ago in US Navy. I do cardio 2 times a week. I agree with you and still swim today. I think it’s the best cardio you can do. I am 40 and I also weigh 240 pounds. I find swimming gives me the best ROI, and it’s easy on my joints.
Since I started February eating in a caloric deficit, I've used Mission tortillas for a lot of my meals. Either with liquid egg whites for breakfast, or chicken, salmon, tilapia, or tuna wraps. I have lost 18 pounds since then, probably more since then if not counting my minor muscle gains :P Also, I've been eating turkey burgers too. I used to eat two during one meal with cheese, which is 760 calories, but I now make one double turkey burger to cut back on more calories, for a total of 580 calories.
Great video as always. What a great dad and, mentor those boys have. Keeping them in shape and, giving them their own responsibilities. They seems very mature for their age.
Probably one of the best videos. Shows the real side of the day to day. I think we (speaking for myself) get to hung up with what type of food to eat and when to it, especially when you are working full time and have a family. John, you are one of the most original, down to earth guys in the business.
John...Turkey Burgers are my staple! One difference that I do and try this with the tortilla. Sautee mushrooms and onions. After you cook the patty...place the turkey into the tortilla with the sauteed mushrooms and onions. I usually use one pepper jack cheese slice. A1 or Heinz 57...not too much. Both are fairly low in carb..A1 has 2grams..while 57 has 4 grams. I fold the tortiall over like a taco an then fold the two sides in. Lay the tortilla in the same pan that you sauteed the onions...to just brown the tortilla on both sides. This melts the cheese and I swear...its one of the best things I eat! My wife says...I'm going to turn into a turkey...but man...theses things are good. The calories come out to about 425... with about 40grams of protein..and maybe 10 net carbs! It's a killer meal! Try it and see if you enjoy it as much as I do. I use the same tortillas! It's like a turkey burger/quesadilla.
John, your a good soul man, love the advice and the attitude towards nutrition and working out. Watching your videos keeps me motivated, inspired and most importantly happy :)
John: I like to get most of my nutrients from the sun, and the feelings of gratitude I get from my family. I’ll supplement this with 4oz of cod and 1 cup of blueberries. Thanks for the video John.
Wow John ! People should follow your example and have your attitude. So refreshing. One day i would like to start my own fitness channel and if i do it's going to be with the same mindset as yours. Thanks man.
John you are surely missed by everyone I just got to know your videos and I have seen the love you have for your family and that is fantastic and you are loved very much by everyone I'm writing this as if you are still with us because you will always be with your family and friends thank you John you have definitely inspired myself and for sure others.
One of the best ever trainers and mentors. John you are missed by many, and by many of us that never even had the pleasure of meeting you or getting to know you beyond the videos. RIP.
Honestly, love watching John Measows every video. Such a positive guy, always great info, always learning something new from you. Even if im not listening carefully i still learn 🤣. Seriously John deserves more subscribers. I can’t believe some of the youtubers got millions of subscribers...... john should have billions of subscribers......
John, you mentioned turkey burgers. I probably go through two boxes of them a week. They are so super easy to cook and super lean. I normally toss two in the pan with a bit of olive oil, toss a cup of jasmine rice over the top and a half avocado and mush it all together, or leave the avocado out and add in a bit of bbq sauce and mix it all up. Super easy! I think Fouad does something similar with his fish and rice. What shocks me is how you are retaining your size with that light of a diet! You look super healthy considering what all is going on.
Hey John- great video. Here is a semi accurate breakdown of your macros by meal using a Cronometer app and then your end of day total. Breakfast: Old fashioned rolled oats 1/2 cup = 150 cals , fresh blueberries ~1 cup = 80 cals, Garden of Life flax chia blend 2 Tbs = 75 cals, raw honey 1 Tbs = 60 cals, scoop Granite Protein Salted caramel = 120 cals. Total breakfast = 33g P, 72g C, 9g F, 14g fiber (Total~ 485 - 500 calories) Lunch: Chicken breast 5oz = 211 cals, real shredded cheddar cheese ~1/2cup = 257 cals, mission flour tortillas carb balance 3 tortillas = 210 cals, guacamole squeeze tube ~ 3Tbs = 75 cals. Total lunch = 71g P, 66g C, 42g F, 48g fiber (Total ~ 754 calories) Dinner: Cod 5oz = 150 cals, sourdough bread x2 slices= 348 cals, zucchini 1 med = 15 cals, 1 Tbs butter or oil used to cook veggies cod= 102 cals. Total Dinner = 48g P, 70g C, 16g F, 4g fiber (Total ~ 615 calories) Snack: Rice Chex 1cup = 100 cals, almond milk unsweetened 2cups = 72 cals. Total snack = 5g P, 26g C, 6g F, 1g fiber (Total ~ 172calories) Total for Day= ~2,025 - 2,045 calories 155g P, 233g C minus 67g fiber, 73g F (=3.5g omega 3s, 4.5g omega 6, 27g Saturated, 37g other) Guess this is the winning physique and strength menu!! Lookout John, we know your secrets and will soon catch up. Lol. Btw, it must be the Rice Chex that are giving your those monster calves. Great shirt bleaching idea by Alexander. But in the future he may want to wear a different outfit when using bleach. He started the video demo without any spots on his clothes and then by the time he was doing yo-yo tricks the spots appeared where all the bleach splashed on him....Oops!! But great idea using the face mask respirator. Take care and stay well, Gary
Amazing video, really wholesome and heartwarming, loved it! But your calories are at like 1,900-2,100 from what I estimated. I thought they’d be much higher, but goes to show we really don’t need as many calories as we think.
Wow his his size and calorie consumption takes some hard work and knowledge. John Meadows was highly intelligent I love his info! Gone to soon, life’s not fair R.I.P. Mountain Dogg ✊💪
It's so cool seeing a dad being a dad in video by someone who is generally known for being a pro Bodybuilder. This contrast between beastial, hard Training image of a Bodybuilder and the supportive dad is so awesome. Also your son is a legend on that JoJo. My God he will be slaying everything with that. Holy hell is that stuff impressive.
i like swimming on rest days, just sort of float there and do some slow lengths strech out the muscles a bit, feels good on the joints with the weightlessness too.
John I’m from Cleveland area and the Cleveland Kraut is also a staple in my diet as well! Great stuff ! Keep up with the great videos and I’m glad to see you’re healthy!
Love the 'Leave it to Beaver' just another family down the street feel of John's Homelife. And what a treat to be allowed into his 'home' on a continuing basis with his wife and kids. So different than all the others I've seen/watched. Floored, though, at how little he actually consumes each day. Crikey!! I eat 1st breakfast and shake, 2nd breakfast, pre-workout drink, intra workout drink, post workout drink and meal, snack, dinner, bedtime snack and shake ...
John is literally the nicest really jacked guy out there! Some people think that all big, muscled guys are like "I'm gonna kill everyone who's even look at me" - John is great stereotype crusher :)
Look how beautiful and green the foliage is in Ohio. Anyways, John, if you are doubling the amount of Chia/flax too, or any seed for that matter, that could be what is upsetting your stomach and not the extra oats! That's what I find for myself anyway :)
Huge respect to you sir and love from India...especially through all that you have gone through and today being the inspiration of many...it's not my first time watching your videos but whenever i have watched your videos i have been helped a lot which has certainly helped me build my physique...
any kid that would be fortunate enough to have John as their father would grow up to be a good person and accomplish great things in life, he gives the great recipe for success
Hey John, one advice I've got from the man I buy honey from. Never use a metal spoon for raw and fresh honey, only wooden ones. Metal affects the honey and decreases it's quality somehow.
Old wive's tale, may be true with spoons that aren't stainless or otherwise corrosion resistant. (That is, if you leave the spoon in.) Bonus fun fact! Properly stored honey lasts for a few thousand years.
Those shirts were looking pretty killer. I may have to try that with some of my old band shirts from back in the day. An your boy's yoyo skill are pretty wild. Great eye hand coordination.
John! Please don’t use those auto car washes! They damage your paint and finish. Get a detailer to hand wash your car. Some can even come out to your house. The clean will be way better then a auto wash!
john is like the dad of the fitness industry and greg is the crazy uncle
and will and Jeff are the sons
It's amazing to think that they were both on stage at the same time at some point.
And Greg is also a doctor.
Wow that is spot on 😂😂😂
and greg is the parrot from aladin
rest in peace john, brings tears to my eyes. The love this man had for bodybuilding and his class and humbleness is unmatched. My thoughts go out to the family Meadows and friends

is your dad alive
There’s something special about mountain dog. Not everyone can be a family man and a professional bodybuilder/coach of his level ✊
a family man through & through
a genuine example of not letting your passions get in the way of what else is important
Im glad to see your doing well John. God bless!
Thanks so much

Appreciate your family values & authenticity. Enjoy seeing your kids be a part of your videos.
Our pleasure!
This was NOT a full day of eating... It was "A day in the life of John Meadows"
Which is even better!
hope you enjoyed!
Thank you sir. It's nice to see someone who is not so stuck up.
A part of what I enjoy about your vids is that although you're a pro and train like Mountaindog with some screws loose, you're cordial and open-minded.

2:50 "And there's Alexander..." Lol, the way you said it was funny
Swimming is so underrated as a kids’ activity. It’s the only sport skill I still use as an adult. Have fun!!!
Only problem is the chlorine and pool chemicals, even chlorine in the water you shower in can be an issue so some people get shower filters, but I have well water so not really an issue.

Man going back watching these videos seeing the bond he had with his son hits hard such a genuine character
Wish we could trade Arnold for John
Such a good hearted,level headed genuine individual you are John.. family is at the heart of all you do and it shows so naturally.
Nice to see Jonathan too, he's camera shy compared to Alexander lol.
Inspirational in all you do... and you have kept me going over here in lockdown with the resistance band videos.
Back to the gym now though 💪 thank the lord.
All my respect.. Delboy from Birmingham England.
Watching this while I cry myself to sleep because you’re no longer here.
John, I was a swimmer for over 10 years in hs and college. It is great conditioning, strengthens the legs, core, etc. and helped me tremendously when I discovered weightlifting! Great to see them learning!!!
Well said!
Man, my heart goes out to that little baby that lost his daddy 😭😭😭. Im sorry for your loss

Man, this video is pure gold. You should do these like twice a month. Very entertaining. You are truly blessed.
I am!
Love this John! I work in the Water Safety field and this life-skill is so so important. Also one of the best cardio's out there!
Couldn't agree more!
Probably one of the best videos. Shows the real side of the day to day. I think we (speaking for myself) get to hung up with what type of food to eat and when to it, especially when you are working full time and have a family. John, you are one of the most original, down to earth guys in the business.
Glad you enjoyed it
The family is really lucky to have a father like mr meadows

John, I am glad you are doing so well. Keep the great content coming. Thank you for what you do.
I think it’s awesome how your kids are critiquing there skills and sharpening them at such a young age. I wish I was pushed to do that at that age!
Literally one of the most humble and genuine dudes out there
Such a great role model to his children and others always setting great example not only in his personal life but for our fitness community too!
Enjoy your videos and the family environment! Relaxing and motivating, keep up the great work John!
Thanks 👍
Its a beautiful thing to see videos like these after John’s passing. Nothing but fortune for their family.
Wow John ! People should follow your example and have your attitude. So refreshing. One day i would like to start my own fitness channel and if i do it's going to be with the same mindset as yours. Thanks man.
You can do it!
I'm laughing my ass off watching Alexander with his yoyo. That kid is AWESOME at yoyo ~
I love these types of videos, John. Your kids are extremely talented.
Thanks so much
It’s great to see you are doing so well! Thank you for your videos! God bless you and your family!

Honestly, love watching John Measows every video. Such a positive guy, always great info, always learning something new from you. Even if im not listening carefully i still learn 🤣. Seriously John deserves more subscribers. I can’t believe some of the youtubers got millions of subscribers...... john should have billions of subscribers......
I appreciate that!
Thanks sir I like your full day bulking diet recipes and workouts videos
John, you mentioned turkey burgers. I probably go through two boxes of them a week. They are so super easy to cook and super lean. I normally toss two in the pan with a bit of olive oil, toss a cup of jasmine rice over the top and a half avocado and mush it all together, or leave the avocado out and add in a bit of bbq sauce and mix it all up. Super easy! I think Fouad does something similar with his fish and rice. What shocks me is how you are retaining your size with that light of a diet! You look super healthy considering what all is going on.
thank you!
John, you are a great dad. You can see it with your kids! 💪
I try

Chicken breast 5oz = 211 cals, real shredded cheddar cheese ~1/2cup = 257 cals, mission flour tortillas carb balance 3 tortillas = 210 cals, guacamole squeeze tube ~ 3Tbs = 75 cals. Total lunch = 71g P, 66g C, 42g F, 48g fiber (Total ~ 754 calories)

Guess this is the winning physique and strength menu!! Lookout John, we know your secrets and will soon catch up. Lol. Btw, it must be the Rice Chex that are giving your those monster calves.
Great shirt bleaching idea by Alexander. But in the future he may want to wear a different outfit when using bleach. He started the video demo without any spots on his clothes and then by the time he was doing yo-yo tricks the spots appeared where all the bleach splashed on him....Oops!! But great idea using the face mask respirator.
Take care and stay well,
Gary
thanks for the EXCELLENT summary!!!!!!
💪😁
you're such a great dad. and hence, you have such great kids.
Watching these videos does not feel the same knowing ur gone John. damn. Rip big dawg
Great to see you pumping out content John. Love you include your kids in your videos too.
More to come!
My favorite clip so far! More like this Please! 🙂👌
Thanks for this John! Very entertaining to see how your day goes.
Pov: you trying to find some commenting the calories
5:40 I'd give a pretty penny to be able to take a swim, every single pool is closed for the Summer around where I live :(
No lakes or rivers where you are?
Banging fives for their ac
I wanted to jump in so bad
I live in Las Vegas. You’re welcome in my pool! We don’t use it as much as we should.
@@tieiatalks I will non-ironically do the 45 hours drive this would represent just for the chance of taking a dip
After long time got to see outdoor activities completely enjoyed the video thank you 🙏 and food were awesome and delicious 😋
I had to like and comment because of Alexander! You are talented👏🏼
Awesome as always my friend💯🙌🏼☺️
But crazy I had you barely eating 2300 calories with snacks included?!🤔😳😋 can’t wait for more as always bro
Amazing video, really wholesome and heartwarming, loved it! But your calories are at like 1,900-2,100 from what I estimated. I thought they’d be much higher, but goes to show we really don’t need as many calories as we think.
Alexander is a amazing kid keep it up john. Glad to see your back with a bang *alrighierrybody*
Wow his his size and calorie consumption takes some hard work and knowledge. John Meadows was highly intelligent I love his info! Gone to soon, life’s not fair R.I.P. Mountain Dogg ✊💪
John is a great parent figure. It's not about kids always winning. It's about kids giving their best effort in everything that they do.
John great video 💪🏾 I love my oats with blueberries and a scoop of protein and 1 scoop of peanut butter
Still finding JM videos to be a highlight of each day. RIP mate. I couldn’t imagine how much your family misses you
It's so cool seeing a dad being a dad in video by someone who is generally known for being a pro Bodybuilder. This contrast between beastial, hard Training image of a Bodybuilder and the supportive dad is so awesome. Also your son is a legend on that JoJo. My God he will be slaying everything with that. Holy hell is that stuff impressive.
Okay Hi John Meadows everybody's here!
i like swimming on rest days, just sort of float there and do some slow lengths strech out the muscles a bit, feels good on the joints with the weightlessness too.
i loved this video so much
Thank you so much!!
glad to see you doing well John .
John I’m from Cleveland area and the Cleveland Kraut is also a staple in my diet as well! Great stuff ! Keep up with the great videos and I’m glad to see you’re healthy!
Love the 'Leave it to Beaver' just another family down the street feel of John's Homelife. And what a treat to be allowed into his 'home' on a continuing basis with his wife and kids. So different than all the others I've seen/watched. Floored, though, at how little he actually consumes each day. Crikey!! I eat 1st breakfast and shake, 2nd breakfast, pre-workout drink, intra workout drink, post workout drink and meal, snack, dinner, bedtime snack and shake ...
Glad you enjoyed it
John is literally the nicest really jacked guy out there! Some people think that all big, muscled guys are like "I'm gonna kill everyone who's even look at me" - John is great stereotype crusher :)
John is the coolest dad ever!
Look how beautiful and green the foliage is in Ohio. Anyways, John, if you are doubling the amount of Chia/flax too, or any seed for that matter, that could be what is upsetting your stomach and not the extra oats! That's what I find for myself anyway :)
Great point!
dude this video is super chill really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed!
Hey John. My guess is about 2000. Awesome yo yo trick as always Alexander 👊 Love your t shirts too. Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
John is an absolute legend!
His son's yoyo skillz are INSANE!!!
It’s great to see practice going on with other sports not happening-especially in Fairfield County this fall!
Love the content. Especially this day in the life stuff. Keep it up!
Nice to see you doing well John.
Love your vids man
Glad you like them!
oh boy did we miss these full day of eating videos, also would be lovely if you do more of the food videos ( recipes, your fav foods etc)
Noted!
Awesome video John, as always !
Thanks for watching
You seem like a good person John.. wish u all the best with ur health issues.
Age and metabolism makes a huge difference.
Great guy. Great video John. Greetings from London!!!!
Huge respect to you sir and love from India...especially through all that you have gone through and today being the inspiration of many...it's not my first time watching your videos but whenever i have watched your videos i have been helped a lot which has certainly helped me build my physique...
John you say quesadilla I’m gonna say that was a soft shell taco 😂👌🏼
Another great informative video with great quality on top of it. Thank you 🙏🏼
any kid that would be fortunate enough to have John as their father would grow up to be a good person and accomplish great things in life, he gives the great recipe for success
Hey John, one advice I've got from the man I buy honey from. Never use a metal spoon for raw and fresh honey, only wooden ones. Metal affects the honey and decreases it's quality somehow.
Old wive's tale, may be true with spoons that aren't stainless or otherwise corrosion resistant. (That is, if you leave the spoon in.)
Bonus fun fact!
Properly stored honey lasts for a few thousand years.
@@cruelfish4824 maybe true mate. The honey dood told me that metal spoons can be used when the honey crystalizes, once again, I did not ask why 😀
Those shirts were looking pretty killer. I may have to try that with some of my old band shirts from back in the day. An your boy's yoyo skill are pretty wild. Great eye hand coordination.
Awesome stuff and awesome family!
Thanks so much
its cool to see your family involved in these lifestyle vids enjoyed it m dogg
Glad you enjoyed it
John! Please don’t use those auto car washes! They damage your paint and finish. Get a detailer to hand wash your car. Some can even come out to your house. The clean will be way better then a auto wash!
i found more dirt when I got home..i'll stick with hand washes
