He sure did I stopped watching his videos awhile back when COVID hit and I couldn’t get to the gym and gained some weight. But he sure taught me a lot and I feel really bad about not watching him he taught me more then just fitness I realize that now. Rest up John and I hope your boys and wife are holding up may good bless them
Binge watching episodes I missed. Can’t believe we lost you so young. I’ve been lifting 30 years and yet learned so much from you in the past few years. You absolutely were a teacher John and you won at life. RIP brother.
Very genuine,humble and an awesome family man I can actually relate too. The dude deserves a million subs. No smoke and mirrors here folks just great information.

Besides bodybuilding, I think being a good person and raising a family that loves you, respects you and looks up to you for guidance is the ultimate goal as a man.
I’ve followed John for years. Done many of his workouts, used many of his tips. Two years ago i blew out my shoulder and took a lot of time away from the gym. Lost motivation. Finally got back in, caught covid. Got back in, got in a car accident that injured that same shoulder again last December. I’m still recovering from that, but watching John has kept me motivated to keep going. I built a new program using different workouts hes posted, and taken some of his diet advice like adding eggs and making sure they’re cooked sunny side up to keep the nutrients at their best. John, you’ve taught me a lot, motivated me, and helped me look at life through a more positive lens in dark times. Thank you, you will NEVER be forgotten
What a fantastic human being. Even though he’s gone lessons like these will never stop being relevant or true. We were truly gifted to share the earth with this guy. There is no replacing a MountainDog!!!! Rest In Peace, John.
I think looking at the love and admiration people have for this guy, he had won at life and is definitely certified to help others with advice. RIP Meadow's
We miss you man. Hope you knew how much you meant to us. I still watch this video almost every day when I’m straying off the path. You were the father I never had. I just bought the shirt you’re wearing last week, can’t wait to make it my new lucky gym shirt. We love you Mary and the kids! There will never be another John Meadows!
Really going to miss these types of videos. You had a way of bringing positivity into every video. Always walked away feeling motivated. May you rest peace.
Awesome message. I'm saddened that he's just now on my radar after his passing. Thank goodness he created so many moments like this through UA-cam videos.
THIS video should be one of the main ones we remember this legendary teacher for! John, there are a LOT of us who are better people because of who you were. I for one will always remember...and will always do. (humble bow) RIP Mountaindog.
A great way to win at life is by not only being grateful but showing gratitude. I appreciate you John and I'm grateful for you. You have a lot of great insight and positivity but at the same time you don't sugar coat things and keep it real. I came for the lifting and nutritional advice, but what you publish is more enriching then just that. Thank you
John, you were so full of love and had a God given gift to make others better! You inspired this pastor to work hard and help others be all they can be. To your family...thank you for sharing this incredible mentor with us. May God bless you, comfort you and provide for you.
Too many people are money slaves, without understanding money comes with passion, so does career. If someone don't make so much money, so what? You have faught for your dream, thats the real purpose for one to live a life. It is amazing you have this balanced and healthy mindset, John! Such a kind person.
I had my doubts clicking on this video. I thought it was gonna be another corny motivational video. But it really was different. You spoke the truth in this video, and much of what you said hit very close to home. Thank you
Once again, I find myself revisiting John's masterful speeches. He said he might have chosen to be a teacher. He was indeed that. Gonna miss all the knowledge he had left to give. God speed sir. Thanks for making us all better humans.
What an amazing man. Sure do miss you john. Thank you John's family for keeping his channel going and reposting his videos. My condolences and prayers go out to you and the family
I know you’re not with us anymore but I needed to hear this so bad right now. Thank you for everything you did John. I wish the best for your family and for you. RIP
You’re like a father figure I never got as a child. Thank you for making these videos, they make more of a difference in people’s life than you know :)
I take your advise to my job, lifting, and life. I work at a small medical device company and have responsibilities that grow bigger each day. During this quarantine, I have not had the gym to fall back on. I have adapted, overcame, and will continue to grow. I know I and WE will all get through this! Thanks John for inspiring me and the rest of your followers!
I agree with everything you said, only thing I don’t have is the friendship, I have my family and that means everything to me. I also have my faith and God that completes me!
around a year and a half ago I commented on one of your videos about intra workout I was 300lbs over weight at the time and last year I got on stage for the first time at 189lbs. You are one of my idols and heroes. This year with covid and everything going on I feel lost and depressed. I have a great coach but even he isn't sure how to help me right now. This video actually made me cry a little bit because it really meant a lot for me to hear this from you publicly today,. I don't normally get this emotional, but thank you, John. I'm going to go pump up in my tinny home gym with the inspiration I got from you today.
I had a dream the other night I was in a nutrition store and I saw him fixing up some products in the store. Sounds crazy but I swear it was realistic, I went up to him and said no shit John meadows, I follow your platform and big fan your information and advice has helped me a lot. He gave me a pep talk like in sandlot when babe Ruth spoke to the kid. Told me no matter what it’s never gonna be easy but if you stick to your goals, you will always achieve anything. Then he gave me a fist bumb. Never met the dude. It was as real as day. Rip.
Your point about helping others is actually what Maslow was exploring later in his career, a level above self-actualization called transcendence or doing something beyond oneself. I couldn't agree more.
John's kids are very lucky to have a father like him. Ive always had an absent father who ended up leaving us, I always felt inadequate as to being a man and many aspects of life because of that. I'm slowly starting to take control of my life from depression and everything around me, believe it or not once I started training my mindset became more goal oriented. John and his videos are pretty big part of that process. I believe in almost everything this man teaches such as values, training, life lessons etc. Long story short thank you John you're definetly winning at life in my opinion.
Thank you Rob. I never had a father personally. Left when I was born, and part of a kind of ugly story. I feel a calling in life to be a good dad though. Thank you so much for your support, keep up the good work!
John, you’re one of the most positive, most likeable, and knowledgeable trainers and business owner that I know of. Thank you for such an inspirational and helpful video.
How can you not like this man?. This man truly loves bodybuilding , his family and his audience . I like buying from people like this . I like listening like folks like this .. Nobody is perfect , I’m sure John has his demons , but we all do. However , he is an awesome dude . God bless this man
Great message during a time when every one is questioning themselves and their lives. For me , Its Faith and Family , without those two things a man is nothing. God Bless you and yours and thanks for all that you do.
No thank you John it is well past time but I have seen you 2 years back it’s bit painful because I can see you were a good man I will see to donating anything I can to your family le
There are so many great people providing useful fitness/nutrition info here on UA-cam. What sets John apart is his wisdom from experience and calm, positive presence. Easily my fave channel in the fitness community. A lot of guys can give you good advice, equivalent to what an older brother could offer. John is out here with dad-level advice - whether it’s in the gym, the kitchen, or just about life in general.
R.I.P. Mr. Meadows. I feel ashamed that I failed to get know him earlier, and I am grateful in the same time for being able to still do so and learn from him. Thanks for keeping this channel up!
I never knew you, rarely ever commented but I was an avid viewer and most definitely a huge fan. Learning about your death a week ago, I was and am devastated. I can only imagine what your wife, sons, family and friends are feeling through their loss. You Sir, have succeeded in life and will live on. You have accomplished that goal in life!! You are the BEST of us and I appreciate all you have stood for. RIP John Medows. . . .
What is interesting too is that, from what I have understood, John was also a man of faith. And that faith was proven by the way that he lived and loved others. People saw in him what they wanted to be themselves. This is the beauty of a life lived well. Peace be with you, John. Go with God.
God Bless you and your family John! Your content and character is unmatched in the industry. Would love to meet you one day if you’re on the east coast.
That’s an outstanding 7 John. I agree with them all, especially ‘Believe in Yourself’. If you don’t believe in [or love or trust or...] yourself, no one else will. It has to be genuine. You can’t fake it. Something else that has come up in a few books that I have read recently regarding this topic is ‘Being Present in the Moment’. No matter what it is-eating breakfast, going on a walk, talking with a friend, working, etc-make an effort to be in the moment, to focus, to pay attention, to devote yourself to what is going on in your life at that very moment. Open all of your senses up and you’ll soon realize that we miss out on wonderful details all around us everyday because we aren’t truly present. Savor each moment in life because once the moment passes it is gone forever.
You've definitely attracted/cultivated one of the most positive and supportive communities I've seen on UA-cam, Mountain Dog. Love your videos....and the physique. Hope everyone is safe and well in this madness!
I broke down crying like a baby three times today because this incredible man passed away. I can't even pull myself together, it's so heart wrenching. RIP IRON BROTHER

Sitting here after Johns passing...this feels like his legacy. What a nice guy
I am not shocked at all to find this video now. John seems like that guy that everyone's life was better for knowing him as a friend or family.
May he rests in peace
A very nice guy indeed. I miss him.
I ended up losing 😢

"You can easily judge the character of a person by how he treats those who can do nothing for them."
truth
@sablin Malcom S I had to look it up
I really don't think you can find a nicer or better person in the fitness world than the mountain dog himself! Great content!
I completely agree!
Very genuine,humble and an awesome family man I can actually relate too. The dude deserves a million subs. No smoke and mirrors here folks just great information.
Miss this guy a lot and his statement "hi everybody ".... he was a real good man

I love that John left us this channel to remember him by and continue to learn and grow from. I hope they never take this channel down.
What a fantastic human being. Even though he’s gone lessons like these will never stop being relevant or true. We were truly gifted to share the earth with this guy. There is no replacing a MountainDog!!!! Rest In Peace, John.
You've given so much of your time and energy, when it was never asked of you. This world didn't deserve your endless kindness. R.I.P John
Hope he never leaves my feed I will rewatch over and over we need to keep this man's legacy going
What a golden human being. Totally different than everybody else.
I think looking at the love and admiration people have for this guy, he had won at life and is definitely certified to help others with advice. RIP Meadow's
