I provably need some melatonine to help me recover better. Btw, totally off-topic, I'm looking for studies about the effect of playing competitive video games on cortisol levels and the ability of a restful sleep. A better understanding of "cortisol creating activities" could be a great addition to your ""7" Things that are **KILLING** Your Recovery" point 6, stress. Probably learning some yoyo tricks will improve our gains =)

[@poolman20001]

I sure am happy your looking and feeling good bud!!!... I watch all your videos.... Your old neighbor living in China! :)

It was an honor to work on it🙏🏻

Going through all these old vids... There's no one like John. His workouts are truly inspired. RIP John. The Mountain Dog method will live on!

I feel like John is becoming that very cool uncle to me. Much appreciated and say hi to Alex x.

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Talks about using "light weight", reps 225+ easily, such a goat! I know I'll get back to those weights eventually!

[@Sharkyktc001]

Remember John's been training for YEARS and he weighs ~215, 220 normally. It's only a little over body weight if you scale it to your own size.

[@robertwilson7498]

He’s a super-chilled and knowledgable chap, egoless and reassuring

[@dannygrumble]

This is perfect timing. I just came off a bad cut and lost a ton of strength in my shoulders/chest. Thanks for the tips!

[@aaronwwilliams]

Same here mate! Time out of gym with closures, large deficit, and increased cardio resulted in significant lean mass and strength loss, looking to get it back as soon and safe as possible!

[@vulturesiii6450]

Did u retain any muscle!? How much u lose and what time frame!

[@mountaindog1]

Happy to help!

[@אנטומיהבסיסיתלמתחילים]

Try to track calories so next cut you won't do the same mistake happend to me with my first cut .

[@ruckahh5280]

why would you guys cut if you cant even go to the gym

[@garth6367]

I had just finished watching a coach Greg video when I came here. This is so much better. 😂 No one is needlessly screaming.

[@utvolume]

I didn’t have knowledge of John until right around 3 weeks ago. He showed up on my feed. At that point I’ve watched many of his videos and loved them. Then I heard Heard of his passing. It affected me greatly. Felt like I knew him. Then he was gone. Fantastic information very well done on everything I’ve ever seen from him. Thanks John. You live on in many of us.

[@TheLocoUnion]

Same thing happened to me a month ago! I had no idea such a wonderful man passed! 😢

[@abbasforamerica7508]

I ONLY FOUND HIS VIDEOS AFTER HIS PASSING! JOHN IS ALIVE AS LONG AS WE KEEP WATCHING HIS VIDEOS BRINGING EXPERIENCED GUESTS AS WELL! RIP !!

[@tolocotck]

Discovering your channel is the best outcome for me of this whole quarantine. I learned a lot, specially on how to train as a natural. I was so wrong about it before because I was watching all these fitness influencers doing 25 sets of exclusively one muscle per training

[@mountaindog1]

Happy to help!

[@Uso.slee685]

It's so sad knowing he's gone. God bless this lovely man & thank you John for all your work, helping others with training & more through your videos. Surely missed and nobody like you with the empathy to help others.

[@fa113nreturns5]

Better than coffee. Just woke up. Keep it up Mr Meadows! Yoyo tricks, we need'em. BTW I do the exercise bands but do isoholds with them as a superset to my benching. Best pump guaranteed!

[@mountaindog1]

Rock on!

[@Sunsetsuperman]

You the man. Incline bench is where it's at. One week I do Smith machine incline presses and the next week I do the regular barbell freeweight incline press. I'm 42 years old and finally made it to the 385 pound Max on the incline press. Thanks for your videos very informative

[@doyh69]

2:36 mr.meadows, when I heard you said that at 2:36, it reminds me of Luke 14.11 - “for those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”. May our Lord exalt and bless you richly in health and wealth thru these awesome instructive videos you produce and post.

Paul does look like his spirit animal, the dude is buff

[@paulcallahan1303]

[@CameronONeillFitness]

Seeing Paul on a regular basis he usually look like the Pillsbury Doughboy.....but I will never reach his level of greatness.

[@naplessteve9445]

Great post. ALL of us have setbacks - quarantine, surgery, whatever. We lose size. Looking in the mirror is hard. But we have to work our way back patiently and wisely.

[@ctsd623]

Size or death!!! GNARRR!

[@sethcashman1011]

Unbelievable timing with this one! I've had some health issues over the past three years which forced me to stop lifting. I lost nearly 50 lbs., a lot of which was muscle mass, but I'm finally getting back to rebuilding. This video is just what the doctor ordered. Wishing you a full strength recovery and the best of health from here on out!

[@mattdawg83686]

I stumbled across the 10 o’clock 2 o’clock front raises a few weeks ago in the gym. They do feel better that the standard front raises!

[@torynichols2413]

Would love to see what you're eating to put back on the weight

[@michaelfelicciardi814]

John you are the man! Glad you are back at it and recovery very well. Keep up with the fantastic information you provide to us all and it’s motivating watching you get back at it with the training.

[@BankBeatersOG]

John thank you so much for this sort of information and advice.

Again thank you for being a wholesome person.

[@TheAllAroundG]

I found working in a 3 week block like 5-3-1 or Tactical Barbell was really helpful coming back from injury or busting plateaus; something like this for we'll just say bench after a shoulder injury: Week1 ramp bench to a topset of 185 Week2 ramp bench to a topset of 205 (or less, 10lbs like you were saying) Week3 ramp bench to a topset of 225 (or less) week4 ramp bench to a stopset of 190...and so on...
