Sad to see this comment, Im about to workout for the first time in decades after falling into depression & letting myself go, only discovered his channel today when looking for tips.
Throwback to a year ago, I bought a set of dumbbells and wanted to start training. I went on youtube and searched for "dumbbell only workouts" All the other videos were too complicated for me, but John's videos were straight to the point and John explained all the exercise's thoroughly. After each home workout i was eagerly waiting for the next video to pop up so I could try it next. His videos got me into fitness again. Very sad to hear of his passing. RIP
I got overwhelmed with sadness watching John's videos today. I then proceeded to create all the exercise videos in this series in the HEVY app with all the detail for others to follow, as a tiny tribute. I hope that's alright. I wish everyone in John's family are going strong despite the loss. My thoughts go out to the twins. It's not easy and what happened is so, so unfair. It's heart warming to see that John's legacy lives on with thousands and thousands of us that have been blessed with his kindness.
Shouting out his kid with the yoyo tricks is so wholesome 🥺also at 7:00 that's good advice, because I've tried using other people's guides, and it requires stretching my old injuries too far, so I'm glad you mentioned that it should be a comfortable angle to hold
Thank you. The simple old school dumbell exercises are very helpful. I'm 57, and trying to get in shape and be healthy enough to keep working and fight cancer.
I work in oil refinery maintenance. I'm not looking to compete but it would be nice to get attention for being in shape. Realistic goals for average guy.
Gotta say, John, as I soldier on in the comfort of my basement doing these exercises with my Powerblocks....doing something positive for myself during this Pandemic, just having your learned and calm instruction in the background, then listening to Alexander in the middle as well, really completes my day and adds a little stability and normalcy during a stressful time. Thank you to you and your family. From a Front line responder.
Morning John! That shirt is bad ass! And now I have more ways to blast those Tri's! Any chance you have a video coming on forearms and grip strength? Stay healthy sir!
Awesome John. Thank you for all the information that you provide. No politics, no foul language, just straight to the point with bodybuilding knowledge. You should have your own podcast.
I literally just discovered his workout few minutes ago and as i am scrolling through the sadness about him passing hits you hard. Sorry John. Wish you had continued with your great videos. God bless your son. I think he was in this video 😢😢. Bless his heart
I noticed on the lying extentions you kept your hands kinda in line with your eyes and forehead more. I would bring it more over my neck area making it a slight pullover also. I got to work on the line more tomorrow with them. Great example on that. Thanks john. Have a great rest of week
I have a home gym. I have lower back problems so I do the kickbacks with dumbbells using an adjustable bench lying flat on my stomach. It feels great without putting stress on my back from bending over, I've gotten results pretty fast too. I also use the resistance bands the kind that attach to the door.
Man i wish John was immortal, we all would be blessed infinitely, although the stuff he has out is Diamond tier, that wouldve been the icing in the cake, miss you big man 🙏🏻
I have watched a number of your training videos. You have a great understanding of muscles and how to develope them. I am an older (60's) masonry guy in excellent shape / condition with a very strong heart. I hit the gym 2-3 times a week for last 3 years +. I've worked my arms up from 15" to 16 1/2" but seem to be stuck there. Is it because of my age ( mid 60's) that I can't get above 16 1/2" ? I've tried protein supplements etc. I mostly use dumbell's from 40-75 lbs. & barbells with some cable work thrown in. Is there something I may be doing wrong ? Or is it just "old muscles" that won't grow ? Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Gary.... Delaware.
Great dumbell stuff, it's nice to have all of them in one video. And once again, great job Alexander! You're a very talented yo-yo-ist (is that a word?)🤷♂️
I find these are way better for me than cables as the connection is insane. My gym is open now and have tried cables again just to compare but hand weights win everytime!
Very informative, John, sadly not with us, ...saw his tutorials with the doctor guy, analysing his bloods, ...little did I know he'd not be with us much longer. I had heart attack in 2017 and luckily survived. but still keeping fit as my doctor referee me to a gym programme, RIP thanks for all you did for the sport!
This series is really good best info/home workouts Best so far was the shoulders workout i 4got i had to train shoulders done nothing but curls for 4months 2 workouts in and can see my shoulders have grown alot [for me] :)
Thanks John you did it again 💪🏽😉Gyms here in Cali are closed !my gym has been open but I think there moving outside with limited equipment!have some dumbbells at home a bench and resistance bands worse case scenario but love dumbbell workouts.wll make do with what I have
Hi John the third exercise was a favourite with Steve Reeves it was called the one-arm lying dumbbell tricep crossover extension with an offset grip with the thumb closest to the weight which increases the range of Motion giving a deeper stretch to the tricep muscle stay safe and healthy
cant thank you enough for allowing me to tweak 2 of these exercises just enough for the maximum stretch....tried em both today already and what a difference
Great video very informative going to try the El extensions . Do a video of up right Row's . Those are tricky . Everyone does them different and has there own believe of what it is and what muscles it's supposed to hit . I personally believe that it's a firearm and shoulder work out with the biceps and traps going along for a ride .
Thanks for the video "only triceps with dumbbells' workout. My choice would be similar. If it wasn't only dumbbells I would also include: - Weighted dips - diamond press ups - EZ bar skullcrushers/EZ bar close grip press (supersetted) - Cable push downs (finisher) I enjoyed your resistance bands series from earlier this year. Would you be able to give up a bodyweight only exercises?

I am not able to do bcz of my elbows problem....can u give us some alternative suggestion
Can you do this exact video with light dumbbells but for biceps @mountaindog1
The last tri exercise is on point
I want to learn how to do the green triangles Slack. Never seen anybody work on yo-yo like that.
Ever since i have implemented that "slack" yo-yo trick into my routine I have seen a 3X improvement on tricep growth! Thanks!
Lmao
Bruh 😂😂
Seems unlikely fella
Legit. I now know why my triceps are unresponsive 👍🏼
Lol
When Luke Skywalker stops his Jedi training and started picking up weights.
I always thought the same thing
😂
Looking at John "that guys looks pretty tough and unfriendly"
John when talking "hi everyone, it's a great day to be happy"
I can’t get over how warm this guys voice is when teaching 🤣 you just know he a kind hearted person
bubble butt 😭😭
Iron Addict bruhh😂💀
@@LuxuryWeekly I hope you’re just trolling because the guy used the emoji before John Meadows’ passing
Rip john, still watching your videos. Still learning. You’ll always be remembered 🙏🏽
Wait what happened
@@LuxuryWeekly nigga what

damn i just discovered him on youtube this week. R.I.P.
i just found out about him today. may his memory be a blessing.
Words cannot describe how much I miss this man 😔
Rip, John. Will always be my virtual coach.
Who’s John
The guy in the video@@Echoballs-gt8zz
AYEEE nobody gonna talk about how sick that JoJo action at 4:48 was
RIP to a LEGEND❤️! Only found him recently but this man has helped me alot
So calming watching a video from John after just watching Coach Greg rant about Jeff. Bless you John stay as you are.
lmao
John - Jeff - Greg, my holy trifecta for gains - mobility - getting yelled at to GO HARDER THAN LAST TIME
John, you are great. Greg, …. I rather eat dry pre work out powder than listen to him. Yup, I rather go six feet under.

Just prayed for your cancer fight! God bless you!
Hope youre doing well edl 👍
These tricep exercises have given me the best connection and most improvement on my tri's. Great pump.
Thank you John!
I miss you John. Thanks for all the lessons you've given to us. 🙏
Thanks for the tutorial John I hope you’re looking from above watching us watch your tutorials you’re a true motivation rest in paradise!
It was sad news when I heard that John passed on.... but he still training a lot of us from the other side. xo
This is where I get my triceps and Yo-yo info
Gotta say, John, as I soldier on in the comfort of my basement doing these exercises with my Powerblocks....doing something positive for myself during this Pandemic, just having your learned and calm instruction in the background, then listening to Alexander in the middle as well, really completes my day and adds a little stability and normalcy during a stressful time.

Still can’t believe he’s gone
Who? This guy?😢
What happened to him?
I love the mini plug for the boy! that was a sick trick i remember attempting stuff like that when i was younger didnt look that good..lol
John Meadows I just want to thank you for all the great workouts and suggestions you have been a great help to me.
The most impressive part of the video was the YO-YO skills, sorry John 😂
Bro, Alexander busted out the MOVES.
Cloud ; agree
Cloud ; and I like his name
You left a huge impact on the world all for the best. Glad I found your channel. RIP 💐
That kid's getting comfortable in front of the camera. Good for his confidence.
WHAT he actually really, really wanted to do. It's not so disrespectness like old folk niggas play it out to be.
🤔 this is the face my wife made when she caught me in the basement between sets playing with a yoyo
Awesome video as always John 👍🏻 Working my triceps is one of my faves. Killing the yo yo tricks as always Alexander 👊🏻
Morning John! That shirt is bad ass! And now I have more ways to blast those Tri's! Any chance you have a video coming on forearms and grip strength? Stay healthy sir!
The yoyo trick was too intense. My triceps, traps, and calves were burning. I loved it.
I am SO pumped for a dumbbell only series!! Always bringing us the best workouts!
This thumbnail was very disappointing, John.
I kid. Good stuff. 👍🏻
Awesome John. Thank you for all the information that you provide. No politics, no foul language, just straight to the point with bodybuilding knowledge. You should have your own podcast.
Captain Mountaindog & Yo Yo boy
Sounds like a Franchise 🦹♂️🦸♂️
I like these triceps exercises. I will be incorporating these ASAP
Great videos on great channel excellent advice from great man rip nothing but love for John and family. Keep to the channel going 👍👍👍👍
I literally just discovered his workout few minutes ago and as i am scrolling through the sadness about him passing hits you hard. Sorry John. Wish you had continued with your great videos. God bless your son. I think he was in this video 😢😢. Bless his heart
Great info, my man. Miss you much!!!!
I love this series you are doing. Did the bicep one on Friday and I am still really sore (it's Sunday evening now). That's fantastic!
Love the series of dumbell only workout
Great thanks
Your son really is skilled with that yoyo. I tried like heck while growing up and could never master it.
Always looking up to JM and others older people to learn from there mistakes so I don’t repeat them as a young teen! much love
Awesome. I need this video so much. Thanks Mr Meadows. Keep it up!
You got it!
In the middle of watching this video as I heard the news /: so sad man. RIP an absolute legend.
Rest in peace champion
Glad you see you fully extend, so many influencers use poor technique
Yo Yo skills are on point.
Thanks as always Mr. Meadows. Hello from north of Pittsburgh, PA.
And a big thumbs up to Alexander, the Yo-Yo Yoda!
RIP MAN 🙌🙌💪
Much respect
Absolute legend . Locked down here in the lousy uk. Thanks for the video
I had no idea about L extensions, this helps a lot!
It's the most amazing exercise for getting huge triceps!
Thanks John! Using dumbbells is a good idea and your tips are excellent 👍
Glad you like them!
I noticed on the lying extentions you kept your hands kinda in line with your eyes and forehead more. I would bring it more over my neck area making it a slight pullover also. I got to work on the line more tomorrow with them. Great example on that. Thanks john. Have a great rest of week
Im here for em triceps exercise but got distracted w your airmax, nice kicks bro💯💯💯
I like that you called them sneaky 😂
Mountaindog and Ryan Humiston best training advice on youtube👍👍👍
I have a home gym. I have lower back problems so I do the kickbacks with dumbbells using an adjustable bench lying flat on my stomach.
It feels great without putting stress on my back from bending over, I've gotten results pretty fast too. I also use the resistance bands the kind that attach to the door.
John also made a series with bands. There are some really great exercises there as well!
Good workout 💪 very smart tips and practical as well

Are you using creatine? That might help.
Great dumbell stuff, it's nice to have all of them in one video. And once again, great job Alexander! You're a very talented yo-yo-ist (is that a word?)🤷♂️
I used to yoyo all the time, I doubt I can do green triangle anymore, but it might help my fine motor control.
Those lying extensions look brutal definitely trying them tommorow
Thanks for sharing your knowledge to us
Thanks John Perfect Timing 👌
Very welcome!
Ok, Alexander That was a Slick trick,
Thanks john
Thanks John.
Thankyou so much! This has to be the best tricep workout I've ever done.
Rip champ ,thanks alot .. my body is now changing bcause of your tips..
Thank you so much for teaching me the proper way of doing an overhead extension!
I find these are way better for me than cables as the connection is insane. My gym is open now and have tried cables again just to compare but hand weights win everytime!
I feel the same, paying for gym membership to use dumbell's I have at home :p
Yo-Yo trick 💯
Castle of GreySwole tee 💯
Tricep vid 💯
Air max color 💯
Great vid!
4:13 Maybe you should call them "Jawbreakers"
You are the best sir
Very informative, John, sadly not with us, ...saw his tutorials with the doctor guy, analysing his bloods, ...little did I know he'd not be with us much longer. I had heart attack in 2017 and luckily survived. but still keeping fit as my doctor referee me to a gym programme, RIP thanks for all you did for the sport!

Thanks John you did it again 💪🏽😉Gyms here in Cali are closed !my gym has been open but I think there moving outside with limited equipment!have some dumbbells at home a bench and resistance bands worse case scenario but love dumbbell workouts.wll make do with what I have

Wow that's a long name for an excersise
It’s a one arm Tate press
Clear and simple.....ThANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKS
Thank you one more time i still cannot visit the gym, and my triceps are stagnating not any more! Thank you also for Alexander!

You're so welcome!
Awesome man. I still watch your workouts. Love to the family again.
John some more dumbbell and BW only workouts would be amazingly helpful for those of us still stuck at home!
More to come!

Hey John.. Thanks for the solid Tri info.. And of course Alexander's💫performance
Our pleasure!
