John Meadows is an American professional bodybuilder and entrepreneur with an intriguing story. While John now boasts a successful career as an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and fitness company owner, his journey towards the top was extremely difficult.
Growing up, John never met his father, and his mother died at an extremely young age. This meant John only had his grandmother to take care of him. When his grandmother tragically passed away in 1999, John was left alone without his family to support him.
As the years went by, John continued to face new adversities in his life. During his early days in bodybuilding, John suffered from a rare colon disease. After fighting the disease for several months, his colon burst - almost resulting in his death. Luckily, John was quickly rushed to an emergency room where his life was saved. After several months of recovery, John was finally back on his feet.
Coming back into bodybuilding, John used the very obstacles that almost cost him his life as ‘fuel’ to grow stronger. Ever since he recovered from the colon surgery, John has gone on to become a successful bodybuilder, entrepreneur, and inspiration for many people all over the world.

[@wellsnathan]

Matt Leonard fucking look at the guy is that not all the evidence you need 😂

[@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947]

ok, so added the partial delt raises to my workout yesterday. These worked GREAT!! nearly zero trap engagement once I got zero'd in. From my mental notes: 1. Pay special close attention to how high you raise the dumbells, this is going to be different for everyone and where traps start to engage 2. To get full benefit of the heavier weight and get max pump, fully contract the delts in the lower position before beginning the lift. When you perform the lift keep this max contraction all the way up and all the way down. Let the dumbells come to rest, relax the contraction. Rinse and repeat keeping a steady 1-2 second rhythm for 12 reps or more. I did 5 straight sets of 12 walking up the rack. What a new feeling for me. My middle delts are finally sore!! This is now a perm part of my delt workout!! I should start to see new gains in about 3-4 weeks if my shoulders react to this the way I think they will.

[@HexfloMedia]

I had weak rear delts and decided last year to train them first on my pressing/shoulder day. I wasn't aware that I was doing something right. It just made sense to me to hit them while I was fresh, so I could give them 100%. Sometimes it's nice hearing someone with much more experience validate your methods. Thanks for the great content!
