I just want to thank you all again for the support & messages you left for me and my family.
Glad you got through it!
I'll meet you in person one day. God bless you.
Praying for you brother hope you continue to recover and wish you many more years with your family man.👍Btw trust Jesus Christ for life now and for the one even after we leave this world. God loves you so much He paid your sin debt. Jesus lived a perfect life you and I couldn't live and gives us his perfection if you accept it by faith and I pray you do or maybe already have.
Love ya man.
Get well soon.
Much love!
The only comment people should be leaving for the algorithm is.
R. I. P John meadows.
Nah, writing RIP on social media is a cheap way of making your self think your a good person.
@@Team_Banchamek that's unreal man, I spent the day crying yesterday. I looked up to John, he was my role model.
We talked through email, he last msgd me July 14th and sent me his new gx pre workout.
It's not hard to see whos the good person in this conversation. You're a piece of shit for saying that. I respected John more than anyone.
@@MDaDonLegacy naw I agree with Banchaw. People say RIP on random ass videos just for like leeching. May not be you, but other folks.
@@gobogbabyscratcha.k.a.scam7279 they want comments for algorithms. I'm doing two things in one. Sending my condolences and helping the algo.
Both of you should give your heads a shake. We loss an amazing guy and you think I'm saying rip for clout. Shame on both of you. Im paying my respect to my idol, he was a good person. And he made me a good person.
Trying to make the world a better place and we have negative people like you guys who are miserable and not able to share positivity.
R. I. P John, I'm sorry people are like this.
@@MDaDonLegacy you know what youre right. Shame on me and im not being sarcastic. Ill just mind my way, through those who comment RIP for clout or for those who idolized him for real. At the end of the day, we lost a great guy. But seeing RIP with people like BTC and John on videos where they dont make sense, load of BS. Watch as his IG account blows in followers because of fake people, and people claiming this and that with John. Only trying to keep it real. If you know Lil Loaded he was a rapper I listened to litterly from the beginning. No one knew him till his death, all of a sudden we get RIP comments and his IG blows up. If you really cared about someone you would've cherished their time here, but now we all these people outta nowhere saying RIP. Smh. Not you in particular, you seem genuine as far as I can read, but other folks who use these idols for dopamine likes
This time we didn't have a vídeo with John telling us that he es fine, and it hurts...
He lives on through the ones he influenced. rip
I miss him. Can't believe he's gone.
Totally sucks.
3:02 is so haunting to listen back to... it's devastating to hear him say this, given what transpired within the last 24 hours. To an amazing father for the time he was there for his children, RIP legend.
it's horrible😭
fucking brutal
Atleast his children will have alot of videos to look back on and comments from people who respected their dad.
So tragic man… RIP to John, prayers for his family.
@@nathanr5023 so true man. Legacy .
I hit like before the "Alright, hi everybody..." and about cried at "John Meadows, still here." I am so glad you made it through.
Me too
I did the same exact thing. Great to see him. He's a huge inspiration to so many people.
Welcome back, John!
Indeed
same same
"AlrightHeyeverybodyjohnmeadowshere"
I'm so glad to hear that again..
still here!! :P
me 2 man
Dont go anywhere soon John ....Ireland
Dude, you are everywhere.
He still reaches out and touches us in honest and positive ways. Death could not defeat him or silence him. John is an immortal champion.
man this shit hits different now
He had every opportunity to make changes and didn't. He literally ate himself to death. Go vegan.
It does
@@Barnaclebeard he had a predisposed genetic condition that caused clotting. He parents had it as well.
@@Barnaclebeard I am vegan and I hate ppl that comment like you do. No empathy, just pure ignorance and then you say "Go vegan.". As if anyone would, after this comment. Holy shit...
@@Barnaclebeard vegan don’t go anything to do with it be humble you clown
2000's about gettin big
2010's about getting lean
2020's about getting healthy
Stay good John
Hopefully another 150 years of “alright hi everybody”
😢
As a paramedic who deals with a ton of cardiac related patients, I can tell you that your self- awareness, and trusting your instincts that something wasn’t right played a big part in this dire situation ending with a positive outcome. I encourage anyone that experiences something like this to never hesitate calling 911 or asking for help. Early STEMI recognition, stabilization, and Cath Lab activation by first responders followed by getting you to definitive care (the hospital) in a timely fashion is so crucial. Like John said, this is no time to be a “tough guy”, and we all know John is about as tough as they come. With that being said, I’m very happy & thankful to see you back on your feet, feeling better and home with your family, John 🙏🏼
Dan thank you so much!
what causes blood clot ? is it injury
Wise response. You can always decline if false alarm. But once you're dead u cant come back. Consider baby aspirin, consult your MD. If your hemoglobin runs high normal, your blood is too thick, donate regularly. High hemoglobin increases risk of a heart attack. Yearly cardiac stress test...is wise if risk factors exist. Otherwise I think high omega 3 diet, anti inflammatory whole foods diet, daily exercise, good sleep, low stress life, meditation and prayer etc...are great things to consider to decrease your MI risk.
Get well soon brother!
I’m getting i
I'm rewatching this video today and I've come to the conclusion that John was given a gift that day. I'm sure that after his brush with death he let those that are close to him know how much he cared for them. Not many people are able to do that.
So true
Yes you right. He go more time to be with his family amd I'm sure him and his family must be happy about that.
“Alright, hi everybody” never sounded so good!!! So glad you’re here!!!!!!
Yeah man, its so relieving!
Amen! I've been waiting to hear that since it happened! Just wasn't the same not hearing it lol
That "Alright, hi everybody" felt good
Professorian yesssss
No doubt!🙌
Never felt any better
Definitely felt that
This guy is so calm and kicked back his name should be John "Mellows"
XD
We lost one of the good ones today boys.🙏 god please watch over his family and help them during this time. It’s so unreal to hear of his passing. John has helped change a lot of lives.
I got hit by insurmountable amount of chills when you said you were thinking about your family and whether that was the moment you were going to leave your children without a father. Doesn't matter how much you can squat, bench, and deadlift....when you're layed there every accomplishment in your life doesn't matter anymore all you want is to continue living and I'm so glad I'm seated here watching you giving us the thumbs up Mountain Dog!!!
in the squad, I was crying when I was thinking that..it was a very painful thought
🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤💪💪💪
Those moments show you whats important. Glad to hear you're okay
mountaindog1 because you‘re a good guy that‘s doing the right things. Great to see you doing better. Greetings and a speedy full recovery from Germany
Same here. That hit me real hard.
Best things i heard today :- hey everybody jhon meadows here I teared up
That hit home when he said "still here" damnit man, Rip John, you will surely be missed.
After hearing what happened today, 2:55 is completely heart breaking. R.I.P john you'll be missed.
speaking like a humbled man who came to terms with his mortality. we can learn a lot from this.
I lost my dad earlier this year by a heart attack and im really really gald that you got through this and you're still with your kids.
Sorry for your loss man!
I lost my dad just over a year ago. It sucks and I miss him everyday. Feels like I’m in a dream sometimes
@@bmofb357 May he rest in peace, stay strong bro.
@turk turklington I feel you bro i just turned 16 like a week ago and it feels so different without my dad around.
I’ve been watching this guys videos for 3 weeks now and been helping me with kickstarting my weight lifting journey, and I really didnt know he passed away. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️ R.I.P
RIP John, thank you for all you gave to the world.
"Still here"
"YESS"
Heart attack survivor myself, John. I was 41. 10/11/12. I was living like a jerk- not healthy at all. I completely changed my life. Started working out, and eating right. I tell people my heart attack saved my life.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re still with us brother.
Wow what testimony thank you for sharing that.
Such a positive way to look at it, thank you for sharing your story and glad you’re here with us too brother
I know the feeling! Had a heart attack at 31 (July 2019). Not a jerk, but my diet and fitness was complete garbage. Dropped 40 lbs since then and feeling so much better. Glad he's ok and still going too.
same here! I had just turned 40 and had a non stemi! too much drinking and smoking! 168 days tobacco free today and I started getting into lifting weights because the doctors told me I had no permanent heart damage! I was wasting my life before now every day is a gift! you never know when the number is up
This video popped up today, 2 days after John's passing, so I clicked it and hearing him talk about wanting his kids to have a dad b/c he didn't and being a dad myself just tears me up. You never know when it's your time. RIP John.
RIP legend! You passed a little over a year from this video and I am devastated just thinking about it.
Seeing John post a video today is the best thing to happen in 2020.
You ain't kidding. We were due for some good news...glad you're still with us John.
Amen
I have never been so happy to see an upload from a CZcamsr 😭
RIP John Meadows my #1 CZcams bodybuilding inspirations, coach, and motivation. You will be missed but your legacy will continue on. Rep in Peace MountainDog

Probably the only humble man in the fitness industry
:)
@pumpchasers Chris Jones must be on this list!
Athlean x and Greg doucette too
RexRekts ahaha I love Greg and his advice but I wouldn’t exactly call him humble
Big ramy too
My father had a heart attack just 3 months ago, right before the corona virus broke out. He is "healthy" again and had his 67 birthday 4 weeks ago.
I am happy you and my father are well
Take care of your family. Your a legend!!
Im really happy for you man my dad had a heart attack at the same time as yours but he didnt survive it unfortunately.
I'm sorry to hear for your loss brother. stay strong I'm sure your father would want you to
My father a healthy man and had a heart attack, if your have a family history of coronary artery disease your at a higher risk.
@@knsmith8855 Thats so ture man my dad my aunt and my grandmother all died in there forties by a heart attack and they were completely healthy before it happened.
@@briandelia7699 Thank you brotha
Jesus John, I almost cried when you mentioned that you thought about your kids growing up without a dad like you did. Those kids couldn't ask for a better father. Thank the world you're recovered/recovering, and I wish you all the best.
You're not ust saying that to be kind either; his kids honestly coud not ask for a better father. John is the amongst the most wholesome person I have ever seen.
“Didn’t have a dad growing up. Didn’t want to put my kids in that position”. Jesus, that totally broke my heart. RIP John. Still watch you daily. Legend forever.
A great guy, a great sportsman. Your legacy will live forever. Thanks John.
Happy to hear from you John! 🙏🏾
Hello there! Mr. Getting it done.
Stop being scared and do the olympia already!
Look who steped in the room...
Koobooom.
The king kai greene.
Do a livestream and show your physique
I teared up when u said "... John Meadows... still here."
You're a good person...
Ur story wast literally giving me a anxiety.
John was one of the most beloved people in the industry. We all want him back:(
John Meadows had a heart attack, but he survived. He is a survivor and always come out stronger
I think he faked it for the extra views. :) Just look at him he even looks healthy. But seriously, yes time is going way too fast.
@@vikingstrongman5903 😐
You are very smart guy. I wish you a successful recovery !
Viking Strongman very cynical but noted.
Viking Strongman shut up
Barely out of the hospital and already posting videos. Thats the Johnmeadows aka the mountaindog workethic right there. So glad u back , stay strong good sir!
The Widow Maker came to take The Mountain Dog away and left with it's tail between it's legs. It didn't know that it should have packed a lunch. You're an inspiration, man!
RIP JOHN, you will forever be missed. I feel so much for his family. John just wanted to be there for them. Breaks my heart.
Hey John! So glad to see your okay. All of us here in the fitness community are extremely happy to see you alive and well and on the road to recovery. Cherish these moments with your family and loved ones. You will still be in our prayers as you recover. We love you John stay healthy ✊
As a 52 year old father and husband my prayers are with you. I really hope and pray everything goes well for you and your family. Thank you for the update, we were really pulling for you.
Crazy that he survived this and died 1 year after this scare. If only he knew he only had 12 months left... 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
one of the few times i feel devastated for somebody i didn't knew personally...
i just learned so much from this man, and everything was for free from this channel
R. I. P. to the LEGEND!!!
Hi everybody...
This part of my life, this little part, is called happiness.
So glad you are fine, greetings from Spain
Saludos Alex desde California
Almost cried just hearing Meadows voice! Get well brother
Yeah, bro. Same here. I almost cried when I heard that he had it. And I almost never cry. He has done a lot for me. Hopefully, he will recover and be at 110% feeling great.
I found myself at this old post. The world will miss his bright light.
R. I. P John Meadows.
You were the best person in this sport.
As long as you’re okay that’s all that matters.
How bout loosing some muscle & or Weight, that's also a mitigating factor ..Like it or not
@@aphysique Beyond secondary. There is a lot more to life than muscle tissue.
Me: *almost dies benching 135 without a spotter*
John (having a heart attack): Did I drop a bar on me or something?
,😅😅😅😅
For a second I actually thought he was gonna tell us "sorry guys, I'm actually fine". Didn't know this was a year old :/
R. I. P. John Meadows
I really miss John. To this day there are no fitness influencers that I watch that I enjoy as much as I enjoyed John's videos. RIP LEGEND!
Not only is John one of the most level-headed and knowledgeable guys in the industry, he's had a tough life, especially growing up. I feel like we have a more personal attachment to him compared to other bodybuilders, etc. Really glad to hear you're doing well my friend and I wish you a long and healthy life ahead alongside your family 🙌🏼
When Meadows’ heart attacks, the mountain dog bites back
Change bites to strikes and it sound way better at least in my ears.
It's from steroids
I can't imagine a dog biting his heart would do much good.
When Meadows’ heart attacks, the mountain dog STRIKES back!!!!!!
Man here im commenting again in loving memory of John Meadows
A genuine soul in the fitness industry RIP
i am going to miss «alright hi everybody» so much, it warmed my heart everytime...
You’re the man John. Endless respect for you.
I've never yelled "how dare you!" at an ad for popping up before while john was talking, normally I wait my 5 seconds and hit skip. Not now ads, damn.
Download YVLR. No ads but only available on Android.
The ads is how youtubers make money and post videos.
The guy literally went back to bench after not even knowing he had a heart attack.
All jokes aside, I hope you're feeling well now and that things are turning around for the better. Heart attack is no joke and I am glad that was not your last day on Earth. Take good care, I want to hear "Hello everybody, John Meadows here" for years and years to come. ❤️
I have been watching your videos for over a year now and followed your programs, when I heard of your passing it felt like someone stabbed me in the gut. I know you are looking down on your family now and watching over them. You are a true inspiration and may God bless you and your nearest and dearest. Rest in peace John "Amin"
I'm glad you're still with us, John. Stay on the path, bro.
When ones life is in danger one tends to realize what actually matters in life. My father had some serious heart problems, and his perspective changed a lot after it happened, and you could easily tell. Sadly, though, as time passed he sort of forgot, and went back to his old unhealthy habits. I try to constantly remind myself of this stuff.
Yep it’s too easy to forget and slip into your old ways. My mum had a heart attack 5 years ago and once out of hospital changed her diet & starting living a lot healthier. Luckily she’s kept to her strict regime and doing well. Best of luck with your dad👍🙏🏼
I’m so glad you’re here, Mr. Meadows.
Peace to the fallen. I still watch his videos like he’s alive today.
I only found this channel less than a year ago and immediately subscribed. Such a humble, knowledgeable guy. Watched him every day. RIP, sir.
never has "good to see you" felt so appropriate.
I’m legitimately relieved and over the moon that John is doing well. I was absolutely gutted beyond belief when he fell ill. This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time. Great to see you back big dog. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Same bro!!!
Btw your name lol 😂😂😂
That One Guy NON negotiable 😎
Anabolic Steroids cause it
I bet you look bigger in person
Get well Mountain Dog we need you around buddy
This video takes on a different perspective now that he's no longer with us. In this video, he talks about the possibility of dying at a relatively young age. His story is a cautionary tale for sure.
Reality is 60 is the normal age to go. He lived hard on his body and the time was lost but he was happy and that is what matters.
60 normal ?
@@TheMarg28 do the research mate and you'll see.
Most of us are working class Moe's that do that 5/7 days and die before 60.
The do Littles of this world live long. Owning a company.....not the best idea because of stress but you need to find something you love to do....stress should vanish... hopefully
@@andrewwright. I dont know where your from mate but where I'm from people live well into there 80s working 7 days a week (mainly farmers) I started my own company and sure it's more stressful but I get paid alot more to do alot less which balances me out, it's all about balance I think, either way 60 or 80 , it's not a long time in the grand scheme is it. enjoy every day 👍
@@TheMarg28 farmers are a different breed I've found. Must be the fresh food they eat and plenty of moving about doing stuff on the farm must help motivation at an old age. But yes I agree, enjoy yourself while your here.
"I'm not stubborn to the point of stupidity." Took my 3 decades to learn that. I'm glad you're ok!
Yuppp, cost me hernia surgery
I had a heart attack in 1997. I was 46 and I am still hear. Got a Stent hang in there. Do what the Dr and your wife says.
Has it restricted your activity or are you able to exercise strenuously now?
What changes have you made in diet and lifestyle since it happened?
His wife is not a doctor...listen only to your doctor my god smh
Ah so your like 69 now right?
That means no gear no training for me 😭
jesus Vilchez it’s a joke lol
RIP Legend!
Will always love and remember you big dog!!!! RIP!!!!
Massive respect talking about this John, such an inspiring man that helps so many, get well soon
Absolutely! I was all like hip hop hip to the hop to the Hip Hop Hobbit it don't stop
We can't lose you, John. I'm grateful beyond words to see you in such good condition after that ordeal.
Over the moon that you’re “still here” John ! For a long, long time I hope !!!
thank you!
This broke my heart reading it now
@@mountaindog1 RIP you legend I’m numb right now after hearing bout what happened
R.I.P John. You were a great teacher, and a beautiful human being. My condolences to to his family, two boys. Can't imagine what you guys are going through. 👏
John so happy your ok. I’m 74 years old and April 2019 I was in the gym working out and had a great work out in fact I did 475 pound dead lifts fo 8 reps. Just as I finished my workout my daughter who is a nurse came in for me to train her as she was getting ready for an Ironman and she said daddy you look like you are about to die your solid gray . At that time I had no pains of any kind but within minutes I started sweating like buckets of water . Against her request I finished her training and then I went home . My wife insisted we go to the hospital but I said let’s wait and make sure what’s going on not very smart on my behalf. I finally decided around 2:00 o’clock am the.next morning to go to the hospital. Well I had heart surgery with a 4 way bypass. After 2 months my heart surgeon told me my chest was 100 % healed and I could go back to lifting just take it slow . That wasn’t so hard to for the fear of tearing things apart . But now its a year later I’m 75 and back working out 3 days on 1 day off . I started working out when I was 12 years old with concrete cans on a galvanized pipe my daddy help me make . I’m a retired accountant and owned my own practice for 35 years and my older son took over my practice 3 years now . So now I’m enjoying my passion more than words can tell . Sorry for the long reply but I have been a fan of yours since you started on CZcams. God bless you and your family.
You scared me John. I found out about you only 6 months ago, yet i felt emotional watching this. Feel better champ
Rest in peace John. Praying for your sons.
I realize this is late. I never met you. I found your channel about a month ago and subscribed and even though we never met I feel like I know you, and I miss you. My heart breaks for you, for your bride and for your son to the point of tears. My prayers are for you and your family and that they are able to work through their enormous loss and find joy in knowing they had you for as long as they did. God bless you Meadows family.
John, I just lost my father a week ago. You have to take care of yourself man. You’re obviously a good dad, you gotta do what you can to be there for your son man.
Hope he rests in peace man, sorry for your loss.
🙏 RIP🙏
Sorry for your loss. Take care
I lost my dad at 7 years old so I understand your thought process in regards to that.
I'm really happy that you're okay and I'm beyond happy to know your son still gets more time with you.
Wishing the best for the both of you!
I was 7 when i lost mine to a heart attack as well i feel ya
Sorry for your lost bro keep you head up
Rest In Peace mountaindog
That is as calmly as you will ever hear someone say "my colon exploded."
Man i can relate to this. I had a heart attack 2 years ago at the age of 39, 2 months before my daughter was born. I also grew up without a father and did not want to leave my kids without one. I hope you feel better john.
Sheesh that seems so young for a heart attack. I always assumed that it happened to elderly that's all I saw get them growing up.
Bruce Cabella my dad had one at 38 seems almost common to me
@@GimmieTheLoot now it makes sense I honestly never knew it came from blood clots. I don't know anyone who had a heart attack personally. Well glad all is good now 38 and 39 seems so young I'm 37 myself.
@@brucecabella2419 that's what i thought. Happened while lifting, I thought i was healthy i wasn't overweight or anything.
@@GreatRedGeneral i always ate healthy, didn't smoke, didn't do drugs.
OMG John ,, I WANT YOU TO KNOW ,I LOVE YOU.. I'M FROM A SMALL MODEST PLACE IN MEXICO , AND YOU ARE MY INSPIRACIÓN, KEEP IT UP , US HUMBLE PEOPLE NEED YOU ,,
FROM MEXICO WITH LOVE ..
So sad that he had this heart problem. And then the gear on top. Man its sad.
This video still gets me...
RIP John
Such a genuine guy! So pleased your ok all the best my friend
