I had to purchase adjustable dumbells and a bench in order to continue and maintain the gains that I have had. Your videos are so necessary for me and I am sure for all your subscribers and fans. Your are never condescending and I feel that you really care. All the exercises with dumbells are taken to heart and when we are back at the gym training it will feel like we never missed a beat thanks to your videos and our dedication to good health. Thank you again.

I would love some 30lb dbs but maybe I'd have to use my 35s not sure if that will be slightly too heavy. I used 205s and 20s for everything but like the bench concentration curls was a litte easy until my 8th rep. I did love the partials that's where it really burned. I think I have to play with it a little. Maybe even tweak it and create my own workout building off these.

      Kind of, i’ll have another body part added so i hit all the areas 2 times per week, but i usually train one area more that day, so the arm dominany day would be combined with a few sets of squats, calf raises and lunges, but i would take the arms to failure, and the leg exercises i wouldn’t take to failure that day.
      I think a lot of folks do body parts on certain days, it even has a derogatory term “bro splits”.
      just as long as you don’t skip leg day i feel bro splits are fine.

Biceps are lagging behind compared to the rest of my physique but hopefully with the right exercises and using angles that work for my body will help improve my bicep development. In the end, I'll use whatever advice I can because I remember you've mentioned having this pain and look at you now "BEAST MODE"

    Just completed this bicep workout. Every time, the same feeling with meadows’ workouts: CRAZY PUMP! Excellent workout to blow up your biceps. Just wanted to ask a question mister meadows. I did pretty much all the sets to failure. As far as the bid you posted about the mountain dog training, I would like to know if for example all the sets for bis tris and Delts should be taken to failure! Thanks in advance!

    Yep, just as I was looking for a good biceps workout, this video pops up!
    Also, opinion on that curl variation where you hold the db vertically (not hammer) to prevent forearm support?

    Another great video John, thanks. What're your thoughts about these exercises using an arm blaster? (With the exception of the concentration curls, of course). 🙂💪
