mountaindog1 What is the strength size of the resistance band for the pull-ups?

[@user-ip9pd1vi8y]

Good morning my friend from corfu Greece!!!!!!!

[@mayankbiswas7076]

If we don't have the hammer in our gym

[@MrGflan]

Hey John!! I usually start my pull day with a wide grip pull up (without the band). I can only do 6-7 reps. Does this mean it would be better to use assistance or is 6 reps still good for hypertrophy?

[@CarlosSanchez-ev3bn]

I workout out back and had a captain America shirt on today too! Talk about synchronicity. Mine didn’t look as good on me though haha

[@datboyphil]

Looking at this makes me sad now cause hes not here anymore to give us the knowledge. But his legacy will always be with us and we have these videos to always look back on for knowledge. We love you john. Rest in power man.

[@yomamaballsinmyw]

he died?

No way he died?!? Been watching his videos for a year now, sad to hear. Anyone know how? RIP

[@Blind_Side94]

I absolutely love Meadows Style of teaching he's so chilled and laid-back but the info is gold

[@stevel6943]

Even though John has left us, he's still here helping us all. Great legacy on KZbin.

you’re not here anymore yet i will always look at your videos whenever i need some motivation and tips. thank you for sharing as much knowledge as you could while you were here.

[@brianandraos1411]

I think you are truly the most educated bodybuilder out there. Always learning something from your videos. Can't wait for more info of you.

[@SouthernSilverExchange]

Agreed. I reaxhed out. But havent heard amytjing back feom him onky his camp. I want john tho

[@SouthernSilverExchange]

Jorge Tha k u sire

[@SouthernSilverExchange]

@Georges Pierre lol. I did reach out tho back in April. But he had a 6 month wait so i went with Camp Jansen

[@robertbruce5489]

Been binge watching your content for the last few weeks, got to say the info you put out on nutrition and training and more so training has been incredibly helpful. You saved probably years of what would have been sub par results and once I got the new form down your exercises aren't any more difficult whilst being more effective for getting pumps in the target muscles than the ones I was doing before. Furthermore no shoulder plain, no knee cap pain, which I had for my first 5 months of training due to using incorrect and harmful ranges of motion. And I tried out your advice from the video "Pre, intra, and post workout nutrition." and was able to add 3 extra sets to my back, chest, and 6 to legs every workout due to the increased in recovery. And I'm not even pushing the envelope on recovery yet like I was before! Sorry for the long winded comment, I'm just incredibly grateful and though it'd be a shame not to share that.

[@mountaindog1]

that is great to hear!!!!!!!

[@OGistayhiPS3]

Yoo.....this is gold. You should frame this comment and hang it on your wall man. For real

[@hunterbidenscrackpipe4407]

John is a legend. It’s sad that there’s more bullshit info than real info for bodybuilding on KZbin. John was a breath of fresh air in that regard. His legacy will live forever.

[@evil4d]

There are some great bodybuilding and strength training channels on KZbin, but I honestly think yours is easily the most educational. Learn a new exercise almost every video I watch, and I'm no noobie. Brilliant channel.

[@mountaindog1]

thank you!

[@tdmallet]

I dont think are more clear and concise workout videos on KZbin. Always top notch.

[@rizennsunn]

John reminds us to let those you love know that you love them and appreciate them♥️

[@khazrajmajed2288]

Best channel for fitness and bodybuilding . Not over scientific , no garbage talk no f... word , just practical experience suitable for both beginners and professional .

[@simonsears5925]

Your stuff works. 46 and making great gains. Your suggestion on the partial heavy side laterals at high rep was literally a game changer. Gonna start this back routine.

[@michelcusson2673]

Great videos as always, I'm 69 and I'm working out for 6 months and you help me a lot.

[@peterlightning9235]

I miss this guy. His videos are really informative and helpful. I've learned a lot from them.

[@christopherduffy1703]

Yea! I actually have a problem with pullups. I can do 5 but can't seem to get my chin up enough to clear the bar. I'm working on it.

[@ericp.1759]

The ONLY channel/man that deserves a like & comment every time he posts....... ...nooo matter how old the vid is. Thank you john👍

[@mountaindog1]

I appreciate that!

[@buddyed]

❤ all the progress i’m making in my bodybuilding journey is from here . i miss You John ❤❤❤ forever in our hearts 💕

[@sorrito7]

Man I wish my gym had all that good equipment. I would be making waay better gains. Even the more expensive gyms here don’t have all of that equipment and I bet they’re more expensive than going to this gym here

[@jdtv...9134]

The captain America shirt suits you well! ✌️💪

[@leoncooney400]

Learned something new again... huge thanks! & always nice to see ur wife involved!

[@Seb4asti4n]

I know everyone says this all the time, but I seriously like all the videos you post before I even watch them, after the intro of your videos, all the time. Incredibly high quality in all of your videos coach 💪

[@mountaindog1]

thank you - Im trying to just post solid stuff...no gimmicks

[@juancarloscolmenares5179]

I never be fan of the bands but I will try it I broke the olocrano bone and triceps reattach all about pressing is difficult for me because t chins up is my favourite exercise. Thanks for the advice

[@ritabanbhattacharya9038]

Sir, you are the best coach ever 🙏

[@mountaindog1]

Many many thanks

[@poulsensteffen]

Best fitness/bodybuilding channel on youtube.

[@motofreakr85]

The last exercise worked best for me personally. I gotta remember to keep tension on the lats as I’m on the stretch portion of the rep as opposed to just letting the weight pull my arms and collapse my shoulders, makes a night a day difference for me. After the set it felt like my shoulders were sitting on stilts haha, I’ve never felt that kinda pump before. Also, on a side note, you can tell you’re a good husband, encouraging the Mrs constantly and giving commendation, and you’re very patient, very solid of you. Love it. Awesome video of many, keep up the good work 👌🏻

[@sphakamisozondi]

Your Shirt-game is massively underrated.

[@mountaindog1]

[@squidro7028]

Dude your wife and you are GOALS! I want a wife that will still workout with me when I get old :)

[@mountaindog1]

thank you :)

[@imsentinelprime9279]

@W, O'Keeffe nah he looks old or at least in his mid 50s

[@Popiol]

Man i did this workout today and it's awsome. First you think that you feel nothing but then you feel every muscle in upper back :D

[@cameronallen5043]

Hey John I needed some inspiration today cause I feel my back is lacking. Thanks for the help, we all miss you!

[@dionwairepo5716]

Awesome videos John, great to see you and Mary training together, me and my wife train together and it's so cool to help each other out.

Great video! I've just started watching your tutorials, and I'm impressed with your knowledge and teaching style. Your humble attitude is refreshing compared to the usual self-absorbed guys making these types of videos. There's definitely a niche for you. I wish you the best. Thanks!

[@mountaindog1]

thank you!

[@superg3962]

.... "a little older and beat up". Oh yea I'm there with you MD- 57 and still pushing hard- lets get it!

[@DNoury]

Dog you're a positive influence on here. Keep banging the iron. We are listening and watching. Thank you sir!

[@roxs9449]

Hi John, hope all is well. Thanks again for taking your time to share your knowledge. This week I included in my back training the banded chin pull up. Doing this as a warm up felt amazing!! Please keep sharing your knowledge. Have a great week in advance!

[@ronroberts4788]

You teach us to do everything safely. You are awesome John Meadows.

[@ronthompson2366]

I really enjoy the way you teach. One it's from experience, and two you just have a calm professional quality. You can tell that you are excited about sharing your knowledge. Yet you don't come across with this aggressive attitude keep up or else behavior and if you're not as big as I am, and the whole slam and bang show everyone in the gym...look at me. You just explain what, how, and why you are doing each particular movement.

[@dakotasonney2142]

Just a year ago he said "close to 100k subs" Well past 250k subs now John! Your the best!

[@mountaindog1]

thank you, no plans to slow down!

[@hadhad129]

8:45 the sound of space.... more like ear cupping 🤣

[@edyncrowley2894]

I love banded chins, one of my favourite exercises that has been essential for building my back, which is now possibly my best body part, as well as improving my pullups; now I can do 12 or 13 when I could only do 1 or 2 last year! Love you john

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Got a hold of your channel after i saw you making a vid with jujimufu...so glad i discovered your channel.Super informative, learned new stuff even after 6 years of going to the gym. Not only learned new stuff and also aproved what i knew. Now know that alot of stuff that i do in the gym are actually perfect, and done properly. Solid content. Keep them coming.

[@mountaindog1]

thank you!!!!!

[@earthabides9836]

I did it,could not believe the feeling and shape I'm getting simple but awesome lat workout. You are the man!

[@frankiejay015]

Thank for uploads and great tips. You do it with humility not thinking you're superior because you're ripped and huge. Keep it up and God bless you! 🤓🖖

[@danstafford6536]

Doing the front pull down increases your range of motion as opposed to the standard lat pulldown... also you're stabilized on the bench and the handles travel through an arc!

[@roccoricigliano2853]

This trainer is a tank.

[@edwardfortae2350]

I use that second machine for the same exercise. It works great.

[@85superchris]

Anyone else imagine the rubber band slinging him up to the ceiling like a cartoon or is it just me? Lol. The strongest rubber band in the world. Seriously these are great exercises to build upper lats. Pull ups are the best even if you need an assist i feel like they are a more natural motion than any pull down.

[@christianaikido]

Wow Mr meadows you and Mary make a great team! I've never seen exercises like these before ...im going to try them....Thanks A bunch!

[@maddisonjoyce2551]

Loved the straight arm pressdown with the handles!!! Awesome, thanks John!!

[@petesnik1282]

Wealth of knowledge. Different exercises we can try ourselves that we normally maybe not would have known

[@ktortega4846]

Hi master, the resistance band you use for your back is level 1, 2 or 3. Thank you for your teachings, the exercises you show, they have helped me a lot 👍💪

[@DevilsRejection]

That last one looks super interesting! Will try that the next time I'm in the gym. Thanks. My favorite lat exercise is a neutral grip Swiss bar (football bar) seated row. 2nd fav is a supinated standing barbell row.

[@jonathanruttan2179]

Thank you so much John. R.I.P

[@priddyfit6331]

Just done this exact workout the way you showed, order and all, minus the chin ups. Only have 30 minutes so I smashed through it. Had to save the other 30 that I had for cardio. Thanks for the great content as always.

you bet!

Definitely incorporating these into my back workout tonight

[@ckgoh]

TQ John! Will be implementing these exercises on back days of the ATMV2💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@7eusy]

Can you do a lower lat video

[@DubstepMagiic]

John you are an absolute machine

[@plebiansociety]

Pretty much the same movements I've been doing for the last month or so, except I use bands for the whole thing. I prefer the extra tension at the bottom of the squeeze on back exercises which just feels right when you hold at the end for a second for mini iso's. I was always a bit sceptical of bands until recently, I just didn't view them as "manly" pieces of exercise equipment, but since I lost that view and started using them on a good bit of my exercises that require the most work at the end of the lift, my strength has just exploded. About the only thing I don't incorporate them into is presses as I would want the highest point of muscle tension on those at the midway point. I still haven't met a machine yet that would simulate extra weight at that point, but I'm sure one exists somewhere, just most the machines I've used either keep the tension the same throughout or add tension at the very beginning.

[@CaptainAmerica-xl7gp]

Thank John tomorrow is my back great tips

[@papaspaulding]

I haven't been able to do unassisted pull ups in years lol. Back in my teens I used to do alot of bodyweight excercises within my workouts and had no problem doing sets of 50 unweighted at that time. Then once i got more into lifting properly I just kinda stupidly substituted them for other excercises. Of course I put on alot of weight over those years in muscle and then suddenly found i felt 'too heavy' to do them when i tried to do some pull ups lol. I use the assisted machine but still now its been years since I have done unassisted pull ups

[@Justoaqui]

I gotta give it to you bro , I really enjoy your insight backed by your own experience and dedication in training . Thanks !

[@chrisknickerbocker388]

Biomechanically speaking, why go into lumbar extension on the hammer pulldown? Shouldn't we maintain a more neutral spine position and keep the core engaged a little more with the ribcage down?

[@samivey8416]

Excellent recipe for big upper! Thanks so much

[@jasonmarchant4057]

awesome content every time. so glad i found your channel! thank you. would be grateful if you could put workout details in description or a on screen graphic so I could screen shot for future workouts.

[@T2P661]

All I been doing is Pull-ups cause there’s no gym here. I Squeeze the lats at the top and go full range of motion. That’s what I attribute my wide back too, it’s not crazy wide though like a lot of bbers

[@sfmedic100]

For a Beachbody competition later this year, should we focus on lower reps+heavy or higher reps+light, or a combination of both?

[@jesuscolonsr5689]

Blessing on Mary and you Mr. Meadows. Another great workout. Happy and safe 4th to all.

This is an awesome channel. This guy is so humble and insightful. Great advice all over the place.

Wife is low key hottie

[@LaSouthernGemini]

I'm glad someone said it b/c I was definitely thinking it... On a more professional note I like the video and the breakdown. That stretch on the single lat pull down (or pull back depending on where you are from and terminology) was impressive. I let mine stretch on its own but have not tried my colleague pushing up on the bar to force the stretch. I am now curious. Thank you for the video.
