He's such a sweet kid. He's strong to keep his courage up and keeping a smile on his face given the circumstances. He's clever to keep the channel going and to collaborate like this. He's mature and respectable for actually listening and taking it seriously when you tell him how to squat or anything else.
ya know i don't usually feel that bad when someone passes if ive never met them.... but john just broke me. and seeing this is the best fitness video ive seen all year... i know my name is raygen gamer. but i absolutely love this
It's great to see that Alexander and his brother have great people like Dave in their corner to continue to mentor them. This is what lifting is really all about in my eyes: the brotherhood. Getting strong in the gym physically and mentally so we can be strong for others, and be an example that lifts others up to reach new potential.
Every time I see one of these videos it’s just so sad. You had so much left to give John and it’s just so damn sad that some people are taken too early. You’ve been a huge inspiration for all of us and you taught me so much. I’ll never forget that. Hope you’re up there looking down on us man. Fly high ❤️🕊
Alexander, if you are reading this I want you to know that your father touched millions of hearts and we all miss him. He was a big brother and a father figure to me as well. You have a bright legacy for you to carry kid. May god give you the strength to continue the Meadows legacy forever.
This is amazing. I wonder how Dave felt during and after this? I bet it was hard especially after once it kind of settles in. But how wonderful on Dave's part. This collab is awesome to see
I love seeing this! Hey Alexander, follow your own path. You dont have to do this for anyone. Not for us, not for your dad (God rest his soul), but only for yourself. If you do choose this path, you have it in your blood to be great, and we will be here to support you. You have an amazing attitude, just like your father. I wish you all the best, and if it happens to be the path of weightlifting, that's great. Just know that your dad only wants you to be happy, whatever you choose. God bless you young man!
So great to see Alexander taking up the weights..his Dad would be so proud...and awesome for Dave to take such time working with him to gain confidence in his form 💪😊 so heartwarming ...and great queues for us all!!!
This young man is a credit to his mum and dad . Mr tate my hat of to you for doing what your doing your not just teaching him to Squat , your giving him so much more ..
Daves character is outstanding! Such a awesome human being. whoever is behind all this, please keep going with these teaching videos with Dave. Thank you very much
This is very touching. I am fortunate to have an amazing dad who sacrificed a lot to raise me with respect and a solid work ethic. I think a lot of men these days are in a crisis without father figures. John will be missed by all of us who learned so much from him. Inside and outside the gym. Seeing Dave work with the young man is really great. It’s awesome to see Dave step up to help during this difficult time. I’m not into powerlifting at all, but I just felt compelled to say thanks for your content when working with John and for being there for the young man. Rest In Peace, John!
❤️ 😢. I hope if I ever pass early, I’ll have friends like Dave Tate to be there for my boys. Can’t lie, I shed a tear as soon as I saw the thumbnail. This is awesome
I really hope if John’s son wants to train he’s got the best “uncle” to help him along the way. Hey young man - you’re dad was an awesome man. You’re gonna grow up to be awesome - work hard, be inquisitive, be kind! Your dad was already so proud of you!!!!
My son is about this age and I really want to get him in the gym with me because all he works out right now are his thumbs. I swear, the boy is nearly hunchbacked from looking down at a screen so much. We're gonna fix that soon. I want him to be confident in himself and his body. I'm still working on it myself and I want us to do it together. He has to be 13 to come to the gym I go to and I can't wait for him to get there. I'm trying to set a good example for him right now.
Yeah get him a weight set and teach him basic exercises, correct form etc. Bodyweight stuff and some free weight exercises are plenty for his age. No need for anything extravagant, show him how he can train and use his time productively while still having fun.
as his dad you have the power to take that shit away. get rid of the whole console. i played computer games 8hrs a day as a pre-adolescent/adolescent and let me tell you it completely destroyed any sense of self confidence and worth i had. the gym gave it all back years later but i wish i could have that time back. just a thought.
I'm watching this video I'm detail before my next squatting session. I can learn from this for sure. 20 years of squatting and I'm a learn from this. Marine Mike
This one teared me up. That kid is so talented with his tricks! I always loved it when John would put him in his videos. Takes discipline to master that stuff! Good job Dave and Elitefts...made his day. Marine Mike
Love the video and I’m happy to see Dave coaching and helping. Also love seeing Paul there as well. Emotional and helpful all in one. More videos would be awesome!
That's a cool journey who begin, now we all want to see Alexander progressing in squat and all others exercises, and see him take the futur of this channel on his shoulders
Looking forward to seeing this young mans journey, carrying forward his fathers legacy,, incredible to see Jon’s friends looking after his son, amazing 👍
I LOVE this! It's super hard to make a video doing something you're not yet good at. To see Alexander embracing this challenge is impressive & courageous, and I'm learning a lot from Dave & Sam along the way!
Well done Alexander. Not only a great yoyo guy but a strong kid too! Keep it up and i look forward to one day watching your channel to help me in the gym 👍🏻👍🏻
Very helpful video as always from the late great mountain dog fitness. Keep it up Alexander! Your dad would be proud. Dave is amazing no matter what the circumstances. Much love to you all. Stay healthy and be well.

Much respect for you Dave taking Johns son under ur wing ! Mountain meadows will live in our hearts forever 🙏🏽💪🏽
Wow I didn’t know that’s john’s son! This video just hit the feels. Beautiful!
Man…I’m about to cry watching a weightlifting vid🤦🏿♂️❤️
Man this brought tears of joy for me, seeing Dave putting John's boy under his wing.💜💜💜💪🏽🥲
@@theelement6255 🎯😭
@@theelement6255 seriously??
Never realized how much I needed Dave to explain things to me like I'm 12.
I am 55 yrs old and this cleared up things for me.
@@rictowns690 I'm 74 and learning as well.
explain things like i'm 12 and my mom isn't in the room.
Amen. ha. Should be the highlighted comment
Getting back to my training after a break and here I am reinventing the wheel with this video. Thanks Dave. RIP John🙏
“How’d that feel?”
“Fun”
He’s a Meadows.
Kid will be diesel af in a decade and a half
He's such a sweet kid. He's strong to keep his courage up and keeping a smile on his face given the circumstances. He's clever to keep the channel going and to collaborate like this. He's mature and respectable for actually listening and taking it seriously when you tell him how to squat or anything else.
Agreed. John is enjoying this. 😇
Absolutely.. hes grown up so fast though..
This is really hitting the feels today. Some of John's best friends teaching our favorite little Yoyo legend. 💖
Young Meadows is going to do great things
Nice work, Alexander. Making your Dad proud, as always.
Watching this made my heart smile. I'm sure it makes John smile too
ya know i don't usually feel that bad when someone passes if ive never met them.... but john just broke me. and seeing this is the best fitness video ive seen all year... i know my name is raygen gamer. but i absolutely love this

@@billybobs1705 shut up
The Mountain Pup has some big shoes to fill, but he is already killing it! Well done Alex!
'Mountain Pup'
Perfect😁
lol what makes you think he wants to be like anybody else you beta!

John Meadows is in Heaven with a big smile on his face watching this🙏🏿

You’ve been a huge inspiration for all of us and you taught me so much. I’ll never forget that. Hope you’re up there looking down on us man. Fly high ❤️🕊
Train healthy and drug free. Your health and family is much more important than being huge or lifting huge weights.
It might make for an interesting series to see how he develops as he works out more and more over the next couple years.
I will definitely will be watching that growth process. If it's available. This is one good egg
Excellent idea! 💡
Alexander, if you are reading this I want you to know that your father touched millions of hearts and we all miss him. He was a big brother and a father figure to me as well. You have a bright legacy for you to carry kid. May god give you the strength to continue the Meadows legacy forever.

My God what a privilège this is,thé tips on changing places and bars IS gold.
John was there with you guys no doubt.

Posthumous Mountain Dog videos are the sole reason I visit UA-cam. Whoever is keeping these going, thank you! ♥️🙏
Definitely brings some serious emotions watching this. Would love to see more. Quality information as well.
Who the hell gave this a thumbs down FFS?!
Awesome job guys. This hit me in the heart.

This is just so beautiful. I love how you guys take care of Alexander. The kids just needs exactly this male bonding and support.
Oh my! Dave Tate and Mountain-Pup. This is amazing stuff! So happy to see this.
Great to see Alexander taking advice from John's friends, watching with a tear in my eye though.
This kid is going to be a beast if he stays under Tate’s coaching
I feel so sorry for dave, he was one of johns best friends
Dont feel sorry for him bro. He was blessed by the presence of a great man.
More sorry for his kids
Seeing these guys working together is inspirational! Lifes trials and tribulations are what pushes us to excel. Awesome!!
❤️ 😢. I hope if I ever pass early, I’ll have friends like Dave Tate to be there for my boys. Can’t lie, I shed a tear as soon as I saw the thumbnail. This is awesome
KEEP THESE TYPE OF CONTENTS COMING PLS
Aww Dave ur working with johns son that’s so nice … ur a good guy !
Oh my god i cant keep the tears away. Thank you so much Dave for doing this.
Seems like a Dream team is coming together! Really happy to see a new content from John’s channel. Thank you guys
I really hope if John’s son wants to train he’s got the best “uncle” to help him along the way. Hey young man - you’re dad was an awesome man. You’re gonna grow up to be awesome - work hard, be inquisitive, be kind! Your dad was already so proud of you!!!!

Get a couple weights for the garage, going to the gym for the first time can be a real mental challenge.
Yeah get him a weight set and teach him basic exercises, correct form etc. Bodyweight stuff and some free weight exercises are plenty for his age. No need for anything extravagant, show him how he can train and use his time productively while still having fun.
get him into team sports tbh if you want him to be more outgoing and spend less time indoors
Fun thought: attach a weight to his device as a joke/prank one day, notice his reaction. Keep it fun and it’ll all fall into place. Godspeed good sir.
as his dad you have the power to take that shit away. get rid of the whole console. i played computer games 8hrs a day as a pre-adolescent/adolescent and let me tell you it completely destroyed any sense of self confidence and worth i had. the gym gave it all back years later but i wish i could have that time back. just a thought.
His brother is as athletic as all get out…I can’t wait to watch both of them once Johnathon gets the itch to start lifting
It's brilliant that Dave and Paul are looking out for Alexander and allowing him to explore lifting further. Great video!
With this kind of training, Mountaindog 2.0 is in the making ;)
Love to see Alexander following in his father's footsteps! All the best young man! Your father would be proud of you.
We've all walked the same path. It's your turn Alexander!
Mr Tate is like the god of power lifts
Mountain Pup getting ready for the platform!!!! Miss your content John, blessings to your family!
I got my new squat rack coming in the mail, these videos are invaluable!
My new squat rack is out for delivery today lol. I'm impatiently waiting!
His form is really good for a first timer, it took me a long time, he will master it fast!
how would you know how god somebody else's form is?
@@billybobs1705 are you dense? He just saw the video
@@urgamecshk you are dense you did not understand the question
Alexander, you'll be a beast just like your dad when you're older 💪💪💪💪💪
Dave and Sam are just damn good men. Forget the rest. This is awesome.
This is brotherhood. I'll be honest it made me happy and sad all at the same time.
Keeping the torch lit!! Awesome Mr. Tate.
Great to see Dave and Sam as roll models for a brave Alexander making his Dad proud. Well done Alexander keep it up! Jim Harrison Cheshire UK.
This is fantastic! Great work Dave, you've got a future champion right there!
Alex is destined to be a beast. Respect to Dave, Paul and the crew.
Dave Tate hands down best explainer on squat
Go young mountain pup!! I love this content!
Really enjoyed this one! Keep up the good work Alexander
I expected John to appear every moment, beaming with pride.
Thank you Dave…. Class! Good job to Alexander also…
Shoutout for Dave..for being so nice to kids and his friend.
Dave is such a phenomenal coach
All the respect. Pulls on the heart
This single handedly gave me chills and teary-eye and warm hearted all at once.
Absolutely we want more of these videos. Thank you, Dave.
Kudos Dave, glad to see that the young man is doing well. Maybe another "Mountain Dog" in the making.? God bless all of you.
This is such a good thing. Kind of tough to watch.
This is awesome !
I see a mountain dog upload. I hit like immediately
Cool to see an old school hard core coach like Dave can work so well with kids. Goes to show a good coach is a good coach, plain and simple
Amazing to see Dave takes him under his wing! ❤️💫
Miss you Big Dog!
I'm watching this video I'm detail before my next squatting session. I can learn from this for sure. 20 years of squatting and I'm a learn from this.

This brings a tear to a grown mans eye
Making John Proud
Stay strong Alexander 💪🏽💪🏽
Great coach knowing how to work with people from all ages. Love Dave and John.
This one teared me up. That kid is so talented with his tricks! I always loved it when John would put him in his videos. Takes discipline to master that stuff!
Good job Dave and Elitefts...made his day.
Marine Mike
Quality content.
Kudos to Dave and his team
Stewardship is rare these days.
Can’t wait to witness your progress, kid!
Keep it up! 💯
Great content. Such patience by the instructor. I hope johns kid continues to lift.
Wanna se more from dave and Alexande!
This was so helpful . I have kids my own and sometimes is hard to teach them to do it correctly with out struggling what to do
Great video. Awesome to see Dave working with Alexander.
Love the video and I’m happy to see Dave coaching and helping. Also love seeing Paul there as well. Emotional and helpful all in one. More videos would be awesome!
Marvelous vídeo. Alexander you are a great person as your father was. Keep going boy, see you on the top of the world
most life inspiring thing, continuing the legend of John.
Let that sink in...it harder to learn yo yo, than it is to squat. Hilarious. Awesome to see another video for Meadows.
That's a cool journey who begin, now we all want to see Alexander progressing in squat and all others exercises, and see him take the futur of this channel on his shoulders
Looking forward to seeing this young mans journey, carrying forward his fathers legacy,, incredible to see Jon’s friends looking after his son, amazing 👍
Love this!! Great job guys!!
I miss John quite a lot; bummed me out more so thinking of his kids, as I lost my Dad at 17. Happy he's good here, and good on Dave for this
Dave Tate and his puke bucket are legendary
I never get tired of your invaluable content. Thank you.
This is wonderful to see
So good to see these two!
I LOVE this! It's super hard to make a video doing something you're not yet good at. To see Alexander embracing this challenge is impressive & courageous, and I'm learning a lot from Dave & Sam along the way!
Didn't know if to cry or smile. Ended up doing a bit of both. Thanks for doing this Dave.
I love seeing proper technique taught. It is much easier to start with correct form then to fix it later. Great job to the both of you
Thanks!
Well done Alexander. Not only a great yoyo guy but a strong kid too! Keep it up and i look forward to one day watching your channel to help me in the gym 👍🏻👍🏻
Very helpful video as always from the late great mountain dog fitness. Keep it up Alexander! Your dad would be proud. Dave is amazing no matter what the circumstances. Much love to you all. Stay healthy and be well.
Wow! What a great video! Dave training the next Meadows generation! 💪🏼
Awesome Alexander 👍🏻
