John, I love your videos and I’m 15 and I want nothing more in life than to be a Mr. Olympia I’ve been training my ass off for the past, 5 months and I just started working out 6-7 months ago, I live in Ohio, and I am willing to do ANYTHING it takes to train with you a few times, lmk what it’ll take and please get back to me. I’ve put on 14 lbs total since Christmas so I think my Genetics at least for building muscle is good enough I just need to work harder and I think you can open my eyes on how it feels to truly work hard, I love being pushed, and I love pushing myself in the gym

You are still so awesome knowledgable John. You are missed by all. These excercises are top draw NO EXCUSES even when all you have are simple things too train with. Thankyou John and Family for letting us soak up your healthy knowledge 🏋️♂️ John 🇨🇦
I have over the years used bands for shoulder mobility, rehab work, and adding them to movements in power racks , but not until lockdown, did I invest in a full set of loop bands, and create full complete workouts relying on them exclusively. Your output on band exercises has been vital for advice and ideas that have allowed me to not only maintain my condition, but bizarrely, actually see improvements in some areas - my shoulders really seem to love the specific stimulus from bands, and I have definitely improved delt development in this period of training :-) Thank you for sharing your knowledge and allowing us all the versatility and intensity we need away from the gym. If anyone out there is debating if bands are worth the investment, just do it, they are an amazing tool.
I agree with you. I switched to full body resistance band training since the quartine started. Not only have i burned more fat with the added cardio ive been doing but I have seen muscle growth from the bands.
Try using gymnastic rings for chest and back too it completed my home workout its only like 30-40 bucks. The instability is crazy plus the bands for isolations. Im good for the next few months if gyms still arent open.
My body, too, seems to be taking to the bands. I have no doubt, though, that I'm going to be shocked at how much less I'm lifting once I get back to the gym.
I love John such a great guy. I try to watch at least one of his videos a day for the information and to support his family. I do hope youtube pays them well.
Have to say... Working with bands has opened my mind to new possibilities. (It's also been really fun to test new ideas) it's taken me a while but I found I really enjoy iso-holds for band pull aparts.. I use a supinated grip and try to do them every other day. These videos are great John. They're keeping me motivated to stay on a new path while I adjust the workout rotation. For all the nonsense going on everyday it's fun to have a positive disturbance in the force. Jedi band tricks'
These band workouts have been awesome!! Been doing them and getting really good results surprisingly!! Just goes to show sticking to the basics works well, don't need all the fancy equipment at the gyms.
I love working with bands even with having access to weights! That rear delt exercise attached to the basketball hoop is super hard! I feel that better than when I used to use the rev peck deck at the gym, since I lift at home regularly I either just use dumbbells bent over or lay on the bench but I love combining bands and weights! Great video!
Couldn't agree more. I start off all underbody training days with it at light weight. I also finish my delt workouts with a few high intensity sets of the exercise.
We usually finish shoulder day with bands or cables, and the rear delt pull you performed with the bball hoop is a staple ender for us. Usually 3 sets of 20 each side. Great stuff.
Viejo, eres una fabrica de buenas ideas basadas en el conocimiento biomecanico y la experiencia empírica! Man you're a factory of great ideas based in knowledge and experience. Thanks Mountain. Saludos desde Chile💪
Great tips, I’m finding that the tension on the muscle from the straps actually feels as strong as a mid weight workout. Allows you to start at a much lower tension and build up through the motion of the exercise. I was waiting for the gym to reopen but decided to order bands instead. At 49, I am looking more for the health and wellness benefits from working out more than the muscle building results.
As always one of the best most informative strength, muscle, conditioning info on youtube ! Should have advertised this as resistance band shoulder workout for more views as I suspect people just assume dumbbells and other weights !
These band workouts are amazing.. I cant wait to see how my strength has held up when i get back into the gym.. i still get sore and crampy just like with my gym workouts.. thanks
THIS IS AWESOME!!! I’ve started to incorporate the partial lateral raise then supersets with light weight top lateral raise that I learned from your previous videos. My shoulders were demolished. Thanks a million and thanks for all the great content.
The spider crawls are new for me. Thanks! I also like standing snow angels. Step on band, both hands start together low, then then raise both arms to sides until hands touch as high as you can reach. Love these band videos. Appreciate you John.
Thank you so much John for uploading these amazing videos. Rubber bands, who would have thought and especially from a man with your physique and strength. Having just followed your program, I am having trouble keeping my arms on the keyboard. You are a star 🌟
As always, John, great information presented great! I’m going to do some touch up work for shoulders tomorrow and I will do these 10 with the bands. Thank you!🙏🏻
You won't believe, the moment I was going to post a question about the band quality and breakage if any, boom you answered the question right away. I have been following your workouts these days, super amazing.
You’re the best! I’ve been training at home with primarily bodyweight + band exercises for over a year now and all these band exercise videos have given me sooo many more options 😁😁 Would love to see one on traps and abs if possible!
Awesome video Mountain Dog! 🙏 Thank you! My favorite video of your band series. Kindly requesting a band chest exercise index video in this format! 🙏 Thank you for your passion, spirit and knowledge!
Thank you John. Been doing these band workouts and I really like them. Been in quite rough shape lately but after seeing myself in mirror after doing this I believe there is still hope 😅the bump! Whoooo! It may be temporary effect but thanks for the moments of confidence 🥳🙏😘
Great playlist John! One key shoulder workout that I think would be a good addition to your list would be banded upright rows for the traps! None of the other movements here really hit the traps, but standing on a band and rowing one end up to your nose, leading with elbows, is a great movement. 👍
Have progressed up through a couple of short resistance bands on the spider crawls. My shoulders were never a problem, but even still they feel NOTICEABLY better. Can’t recommend them enough. Thanks for putting me onto them John!
I also noticed before you posted this that the over and backs with the bands (I call them “dislocations”) feel MUCH smoother on the back portion after the spider crawls, good to see you’ve found the same!
was literally doing these today! explaining to my bro about the j meds partials lateral flys with dumbells and i was using a band implement it!! i finish my workout come on the pc and SEE j meds has uploaded and executed the partials with the band in a vid! feels good! thanks for sharing the wisdom
I love this video I've been trying to get my right shoulder back in shape since an old injury and I'm feeling the burns especially from 6 way good grief lol, but in all seriousness thanks for the videos and keep up the work.
Elite FTS bands are wonderful! I have some short bands I use primarily for attaching to my power rack for benching. I cant say enough good things about them! I can make the 45lb bar alone feel crazy heavy lol
Also bands not only are very effective they also are great to add to your weigh training week to switch things up and keep those muscles growing imo...
When doing the side delts i like to cross the bands over my feet (ie grabbing the band under your left foot with your right hand and visa versa) as it adds some missing tension at the bottom of the movement as well as the top
Man I literally laughed out loud when you said "I got the quarantine beard going" I think it looks cool. You look like a jacked surfer. Stay healthy, my friend.

No John, I don't feel the sun on my face. That's the radiating warmth of your personality. RIP big man.
In 2024 and these videos are still some of the best bands content on youtube. RIP Meadows u will be missed!
I love John such a great guy. I try to watch at least one of his videos a day for the information and to support his family. I do hope youtube pays them well.
The most simple yet most entertaining fitness videos. Love this guy

John you are something special I was just about to work out shoulders
Thanks John for this 👍 Stay safe with the family, kind regards as ALWAYS Richard U.K
Thanks, you too!
Good video! I wasn’t familiar with the PARTIALS so I included it in my resistance band workout this morning. It was tough and I’m still feeling it.
Great sharing 👍🏻
What a beautiful home!
Thank you!
Cheers John this is me tomorrow morning 👌👌
Hope you enjoy
I like the banded shoulder-press...if you lean little backwards and press more in front of you, it's also hit your upper chest, feel the pump!💪
Thanks for another great video, John.
I used bands on my pull up tower and did some face pulls.
Oh my, the burn! 🔥 Even the reverse pec machine never felt like this!
I always love your t-shirts! 😆 Oh and the workouts also ofcourse 😁 Great video John!
Glad you like them!
Thanks John. Great ideas in this video - and it was good to hear ideas for combining/super-setting with dumbbells
Thank you John. Been doing these band workouts and I really like them. Been in quite rough shape lately but after seeing myself in mirror after doing this I believe there is still hope 😅the bump! Whoooo! It may be temporary effect but thanks for the moments of confidence 🥳🙏😘
