John Meadows secret leg routine for MASSIVE Legs (quads will be torched!)

Hey guys in this video I had the pleasure to train with the legend John Meadows aka The Mountain Dog! He took me through brutal full leg routine that really hit my quads hard! We started off with some leg extensions, then into some SSB squats, followed up with some pendulum squats and finished with some hamstring curls. Make sure you take notes as he goes into details on how to build big strong legs, and common training mistakes beginners make! Make sure you are subbed to hit channel!

[@MatiasStrengthCoach]

Dude I've gotta say it. It's so fucking admirable how you grew in the past couple of years (been following you for a long while) by learning from others. Even for me being a coach with a bacherlos degree and a masters sometimes it's hard to be humble and be 100% open to someone elses knowledge just because you know you're a knowledgable person yourself. But you really are a student and a sponge with all of this monsters of the industry like Medows, Mike Israetel, the BBM crew, and more. Honestly you set an awesome example. Just the perfect example of how being humble and learning from this guys makes you great, because it's definetly not your first day in the gym. You have some years under your belt and not only as an athlete but as a coach. Alright, enough for know. I want you to keep being humble lol. Thanks Joe, we need more of this. Really.

John Meadows is so awesome. I always appreciate his variety of exercises and variations that anyone And everyone can implement. As a trainer I’ve personally used a lot of his techniques with clients to modify an exercise to cater to their body. Pearls of knowledge from an experience guy!

How many reps get added by having the mountain dog himself touching your lower back when doing hamstring curls?

[@danieltky14]

Joey, you gotta drop some recommendations for those shorts bro. Mine explode when I squat.

Dude, your legs are massive!!

[@CharlesOffdensen]

John looks to be in very good shape.

[@nickt3169]

Does anyone know what the reason(s) are that someone would pick a spider bar over an SSB? I’ve heard that the spider bar is harder to cheat than an SSB but I don’t know that for sure.

[@MasoNowa]

John laid it out pretty well. The normal SS yoke bar is trying to pull you forward while the spider bar isn't trying to pull you out of position as much

[@nickt3169]

Mason Nowak I appreciate it man.

[@monsantofungaro5704]

"Dear G-d"?? Come on... That's not what you really said... I'm not even 50% through the video and have already seen 2 pieces of equipment I've never seen before - the pendulum squat and that double cambered bar.

[@bmstylee]

That's called a spider bar. www.elitefts.com/rackable-cambered-spider-bar.html

[@alextheballer20]

@@bmstylee its never in stock and no other company seems to make one. I'm curious how different it is from a normal safety squat bar.

[@bmstylee]

@@alextheballer20 I think it's a made to order thing. At least for Elite FTS anyway.

[@MasoNowa]

@@alextheballer20 the center of gravity is different. The normal SS Yoke bar is a weird high bar type position that is trying to fold you forward. I've never really put it to the test but it seems like it'd would be a more comfortable squat like John said
