I've been using a lot of your routines and diet recommendations. I have never been in a competition but I always try to put in the effort and time. Your advice on training and eating has really helped an average Joe like me.
Thanks for the great advice as usual. Something I believe would be helpful is if you summarized the workout at the end of the video, sets, reps etc. on a written board format. Blackboard or whiteboard with an easy to read font. Thanks in advance for considering and look forward to next video.
It literally hurts just to watch him giving great and amazing advice and definitely will be missed! In honor of John today on my back day I will be definitely doing his workouts.💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
There should be a 'John meadows' in every gym, should come standard with every gym membership sold, free access to your own 'John meadows' Your great UA-cam videos will have to do for now 🤣
I’m 54 years old and been training for about 5 years, never have my gains been as good as they are since following your guidance. You rock it mountaindog 👍
Thank you for everything John...after 30 years of lifting I started to slack off...you got me back on track this summer. I started training three hours a day again and watched your videos at night. We will all miss you.
I understand the dumbbell pullover can be used for a variety of muscles dependent on grip, body position, etc. I've always used it during my chest workouts with a diamond-like grip around the dumbbell and shoulder blades on the edge of the bench. But if you have time I would greatly appreciate the education on the variations to ensure I'm actually performing the exercise correctly. Besides that, I have been studying many of your videos and greatly appreciate all the knowledge you have passed down to younger generations to include myself. So thank you very much, Sir. ~Cpt America
Tried the meadow row last week and it’s absolute 🔥🔥 Today I will incorporate that bent over/shrug, can’t wait! Your videos have helped me progress significantly! Thanks 🤩
Respect man! The two row variations have become beside t-bar rows my favorite horizontal pull exercises and are far better than barbell rows. Thank you!!
You are such a beast yet so humble and down to earth. Not like other youtubers who are just showing off. You inspire me alot and yes your workouts are amazing and helped me greatly. Nothing but respect for you sir.
That really is a perfect, complete back workout. I also never like the barbell row versus dumbbell rows. The barbell row doesn't feel good in my lower back but dumbbells don't bother me. That last exercise is something I hadn't seen before. I like it! Definitely gonna add it to my next back routine. Thanks for sharing such great instructions, John.
I’m never less than impressed after watching an ‘Alright, Hi everybody’ video. I’ve been consistently training (and I like to think with good form) for 15 years now and I’m still learning something. Appreciate the content.
Man, I switched the exercises around and tore through the Meadow rows first and then into rackpulls, and the pump was S E R I O U S ! ! Thanks for sharing your experience, John! Much appreciated!
Love the pullover. That stretch!!! Latest fave. This was a great clip. Gotta try that last shrug/ lift exercise. Trying to find a shrug I can really feel in the traps.
Did the meadows rows a couple times without ever seeing them. Turns out my form was wrong. Working those and the one arm landmine a into the next pull day!
It's the mountain daaawggg 💪🏽👑 At the first exercise I choose to use the leg for stability at the side at which I'm pulling from as well. This dimishes any possibility of rotation for me because I can visualise more stability due to the alignment of foot, knee and chest. I love these kind of back workouts. No fancy shit, just raw raw raw.
mountaindog1 definitely helps even more so I’m training in a barn. No machines needed thanks to your advice. I’m definitely a visual learner so this video is perfect.
every progress i made in the gym is because of you john , may you rest in peace ,you gave a lot to bodybuilding community. you are greatly missed. wish you're happy in heavens legend.
I love watching the good UA-camrs (Meadows, Cavaliere, Herman, Nippard, Jones) and seeing how they have subtle differences in training styles. I feel spoiled with all of this free, good information! Definitely helped me form my own plan and find the exercises that work for me best.
love the meadows rows but I have a lil of tennis elbow issues and when I do them because of the grip it does bother me a lil...for now I just do the first type of rows u did...they feel much better
Hi @mountaindog1. Just wanna say that I did this workout today and it felt freaking awesome! For the first time in a long time, I left the gym with some immediate soreness in my lats. Many thanks for the great content and advice.
John, I’m a fan of using barbells in place of dumbbells in a number of exercises. Have you ever tried using a short barbell (not an ez bar) for overhead tricep extension? I suffer with shoulder pain when using the dumbbell but switching to the barbell feels totally different. Give it a go and see how it feels!!
Bout to go hit this one for my Friday back work. I miss John so much. I always liked when his main man James was in the videos too. With love to John’s Family. James as well From NC with love ❤️
Barbell rows are hell on my lower back. Felt great when I was 22 but I'm 26 now lol. If you do them i would say do them early in the workout before you get any fatigue.
you should try some lower back warm ups before you do them, my lower back always used to get fkd towards the end, started doing low back warm ups, never had the issue since
Australia calling . Thanx bro i like the look of this wrkout , Exactly what i was doin in lookdown cause i only had a barbell an 2 dumbbells im gettn back after dealing with some nerve probs from L5 and facet joint degeneration. Any tips on how to manage would b awesome . Thanks heaps.

Rib cage expanders are a chest exercise. Partial lat exercise.
Almost good info. 🤛🤙

Mountain dog!!! There's no substitute!
Whoa!!!!
Could you put the workout in the description? Please.
I'm going to do this workout tonight in honour of your memory. Rest in Peace, John
Same here bro. Just got off a long day at work but in an hour, we go to war for John.
Hope your workout was killer. 💪
🙏👌💪
I’m about to go hit it right now
Well said.. I miss him
It’s still hard to believe he’s gone.. going to ms his smooth demeanor
It literally hurts just to watch him giving great and amazing advice and definitely will be missed! In honor of John today on my back day I will be definitely doing his workouts.💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
There should be a 'John meadows' in every gym, should come standard with every gym membership sold, free access to your own 'John meadows'
Your great UA-cam videos will have to do for now 🤣
There are some old skool guys in my local gym always passing on the knowledge.. so grateful ma dude
I nominate John Meadows for the 2020 presidential election
1) 1 arm barbell row
2) meadows row
3) dumbbell pullover
4) Single grip pulldown
5) dumbbell stiff legged DL with shrug
Every time you post new content motivates me to get to the gym. Lucky me it's back night tonight. Keep up the great work John.
Nice tats but the nipple ring ruins it
x3
Did you secure the Pump?
Yeah I'm on my way for back work now... John gives inspiration for Progress
Its 1 am at india right now...Just found this legend a month watching his videos only ...RIP legend
How is the journey going bro
omg, I just figured it out, you look like Mark Hamil, a super strong hulked up version, but definitely getting a Mark Hamil lookalike vibes
YES that is true but hamil must have gotten some good whey protein i think ey ?
Pradeep Kanchan 💥
Mark Hammel is a loon, john is not.
How the heck am i only getting introduced to this guy now???? Ive got alot of vids to watch
I did 4sets of meadows row on pull day to honor the legend😔
I love how your workouts are so simple and approachable. Nothing fancy, just what works.
Grunts like a BEAST!
Talks like a SAINT!
Your coaching style and knowledge will last with me forever. Thank you for the gains, John!
I’m 54 years old and been training for about 5 years, never have my gains been as good as they are since following your guidance. You rock it mountaindog 👍
Great to hear!
Thank you for everything John...after 30 years of lifting I started to slack off...you got me back on track this summer. I started training three hours a day again and watched your videos at night. We will all miss you.
Would of loved to meet this man, so knowledgeable and approachable. Rest well my friend , you have worked hard 😢
I'm 68 and you have the most informative videos I have found. Straight to the point! Great job and THANK YOU and please thank James too.
Just found you on the beginning of my journey, rip John you’ll be my idol, your videos are gonna help out a lot
One arm barbell and meadows row are too good, love that my gym has a landmine.
I understand the dumbbell pullover can be used for a variety of muscles dependent on grip, body position, etc. I've always used it during my chest workouts with a diamond-like grip around the dumbbell and shoulder blades on the edge of the bench. But if you have time I would greatly appreciate the education on the variations to ensure I'm actually performing the exercise correctly.
Besides that, I have been studying many of your videos and greatly appreciate all the knowledge you have passed down to younger generations to include myself.
So thank you very much, Sir.
~Cpt America
The dead lift and shrug combo. What a smart move. I definitely gonna do that.
Did you stick with them or how did it go?
Been doing the first exercise since 2005. Always loved this variation, have to throw it back into my routine
U know they’re fkin huge when 25 lbs look like 10 Lmao insane
That meadows row is great for upper back, I feel it instantly. Thanks John
Tried the meadow row last week and it’s absolute 🔥🔥 Today I will incorporate that bent over/shrug, can’t wait! Your videos have helped me progress significantly! Thanks 🤩

That last exercise is something I hadn't seen before. I like it! Definitely gonna add it to my next back routine. Thanks for sharing such great instructions, John.
I feel so dumb, I've always heard Meadows rows and knew who John was but I never put two and two together lmao.
:)
U
Is it possible to do the Meadows rows on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each arm?
@@gennarocozzolino4709 Through Christ all things are possible
@@marcberg2553 lmao just be sure to keep your back in a safe position
This was the first back workout I've ever done where I could feel a pump in my back muscles when I was done. I could feel the contraction in my lats.
Thanks for this video just did the first part of it at home with a barbell after doing deadlifts feeling pumped and completely exhausted !.👍🏻
I’m never less than impressed after watching an ‘Alright, Hi everybody’ video. I’ve been consistently training (and I like to think with good form) for 15 years now and I’m still learning something.
Appreciate the content.
Thanks heaps gentlemen ❤
Man, I switched the exercises around and tore through the Meadow rows first and then into rackpulls, and the pump was S E R I O U S ! !
Thanks for sharing your experience, John! Much appreciated!
That was bad ass , you're very good what you do. Keep up the great work thank you blessing me with your wisdom
Brian from Melbourne Australia, i love old school training , it brings back some good memories
Imagine having an exercise named after you
Another great video!!! Thanks for the content and the extra points that most leave out!!! 🇺🇸
my guy was no nonsense, straight to the point…
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much.
I love the meadows row! My favorite back workout. Thanks John! 🙏
Those one arm bar rows worked better than DB for me, thanks
Beautiful workout, right to the point, no BS. Thanks John!
Love the pullover. That stretch!!! Latest fave. This was a great clip. Gotta try that last shrug/ lift exercise. Trying to find a shrug I can really feel in the traps.
Wow I just saw the comments about his passing, young guy and great workouts.

That shrug is really innovative.
Thanks so much for all the great tips!
Love your dB shrug alternative, mixes a little deadlift with a trap exercise, great exercise
Thanks for all your videos. Can't believe I just found your channel.
Awesome video! Perfect descriptions and demonstrations.
Glad it helped!
mountaindog1 definitely helps even more so I’m training in a barn. No machines needed thanks to your advice. I’m definitely a visual learner so this video is perfect.

Yes! Will try these back exercises!
I love watching the good UA-camrs (Meadows, Cavaliere, Herman, Nippard, Jones) and seeing how they have subtle differences in training styles. I feel spoiled with all of this free, good information! Definitely helped me form my own plan and find the exercises that work for me best.
Meadows is on another level
@@gustavolealgomes5448 literally!! 30 years of lifting and an IFBB pro!!! No one competes with him on You Tube
Watch Renaissance Periodization , Eric Helms , Greg doucette , Omar Isuf
I've been using these and they work great. Great back workout.
love the meadows rows but I have a lil of tennis elbow issues and when I do them because of the grip it does bother me a lil...for now I just do the first type of rows u did...they feel much better
Hi @mountaindog1. Just wanna say that I did this workout today and it felt freaking awesome! For the first time in a long time, I left the gym with some immediate soreness in my lats. Many thanks for the great content and advice.
awesome!!
Merci encore une fois pour tes vidéos sa donne des idées sur d'autres exercices de base très intéressant.
Cheers buddy- thanks for the tips💪👊
Great video! I thought pullovers was for the chest lmao didnt know it was for back as well 😂
Hits a lot of things. I did banded pullovers for lats 3 days ago, my chest was so sore yesterday lol.
We didn’t lose him, he was just needed more up there in heaven, doing bodybuilding tutorials up there. Rest in Peace, John.
I can't believe this vid was posted in May 2019, and I hadn't seen it. Great workout and information. Tomorrow is back day and I'm using it. Thx John
Great info thanks 🙏🏽!!!
Keep the videos coming!!!
Awesome advices as always!
damn dude... came in clutch for me with this vid. back tnite and was trying to com up with somthing slightly different.
The meadows row has been in my back routine for two years and has done wonders. Great back workout!
Great content 😍😎👍
Awesome as always!
Love the vids John !!
Doing rows with the barbell keeps a more strict motion, we’re as the dumbbell is loose.
Im going to try it
John, I’m a fan of using barbells in place of dumbbells in a number of exercises. Have you ever tried using a short barbell (not an ez bar) for overhead tricep extension? I suffer with shoulder pain when using the dumbbell but switching to the barbell feels totally different. Give it a go and see how it feels!!
When you always have the best pump and feeling, you know it’s a Meadows workout!
I like starting with lat pullovers, took that advice from blood and guts with Dorian Yates
@Stephen Mikus A barbell and a bench
Always good stuff no Fluff! I can finally feel my rhomboid's using the Meadows row! Thx John.
Good work John! Rows are amazing and the shrugs at the end really burns as hell. Thank you for pointing out these great old school tips
It's like you are answering my questions before even asking them!!!!
Great training vid MountainDog.
John meadows, the nicest bodybuilder in the world ! You'd make a great teacher
Nice teachers get abused by liberal idiot students with liberal parents....
Tomorrow is my back workout thanks for this❤️🇮🇳
Love how you do the pullovers, agree with you, too many peeps over extend it.
Bout to go hit this one for my Friday back work. I miss John so much. I always liked when his main man James was in the videos too. With love to John’s Family. James as well
From NC with love ❤️
Barbell rows are hell on my lower back. Felt great when I was 22 but I'm 26 now lol. If you do them i would say do them early in the workout before you get any fatigue.

LOL, I'm 59 and do them.
I am now ordering a landmine for my home gym. Going to try this back workout. Good stuff. Much appreciated!
Australia calling . Thanx bro i like the look of this wrkout , Exactly what i was doin in lookdown cause i only had a barbell an 2 dumbbells im gettn back after dealing with some nerve probs from L5 and facet joint degeneration. Any tips on how to manage would b awesome . Thanks heaps.
Today I turn 45 and this is a great gift of knowledge, thank you! :) I love that deadlift shrug idea
I've been doing the meadow rows for years but this is the first time I've ever seen anyone else do them, great exercise👍💪
You do realise they are named after John? 😂
Start a new serie "old school"!! Training, nutrition, lifestyle etc!!👌👌
Dude I'd be here for that, fucken top idea 💪
Great work-out John old school just like me
