Man I never seen John so pumped as on that last barbell incline
You’re awesome man! I get so much QUALITY information, thank you and keep pushing buddy!

Watching John 's video is the perfect way to end a day. The best on CZcams!!!
Thank you!
Love that shirt John! Said before I’ll say it again...your channel without question is the best of its kind on CZcams! Thanks for the videos.
welcome!!!!!
mountaindog1 it really is! Awesome!
Completey agree on what you said about strength john , every time i step in the gym i wanna get stronger but not at my expense of form or at the expense of the tension being taken off the muscle i preach heavy weight good form a nice stretch and a good squeeze is the way to go.
That was awesome seeing his intensity on the incline. Havent seen him like that before!
I love to see this guy get hyped for incline bench. I feel it mountain dog. Gets me motivated.
Why r u so awesome 🐕? Everytime I see your clips I wanna pop a preworkout and train to failure....keep up the good work man.
Thank you for your content you have help me learn that it’s all in the form not the lbs. thank you🙏
I'm a simple man, I see a John Meadows video, I watch it, I like it, I go to the gym and do it.
thank you!
Great chest day work out...amazing 😎✊
Nice vascularity on the both of you guys. Another great vid. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing Workout John 😊 By the way you are so strong..💪
Mt Dog!!! YOU STILL PUSH ME TO DO BETTER AND MOTIVATE ME TO KEEP WORKING OUT 💪🏽
Your the man bro 1000%.
That freaking heavy for incline. Nice job. You guys are freaking monsters. 💪
Especially for a second exercise
Just hearing John talk is encouraging
Yes, John & Seth, love it! I've NEVER not seen John not get ALL his reps ! He is human after all ! Big love, Richard U.K
yea today I sucked!
I hear your voice and see you talking, it feels like I am listening to a saint.
Thanks again for sharing John! I will be copying this session on friday :) Brutal stuff!! :)
you bet
Great video, John. Great to see a variety of your guests! Liked the inclined press.
Thank you!
That Armbrust shirt! Can't wait for your visit back To CO. Hopefully someday we'll have a Meadows Gym out here
His intensity when he hit 3 plates on incline, hit me better than BA tingles.
Powerful workout
Seth's ROM on the machine press is crazy. Nice shirt John.
I really like the idea of BASIC workouts. I'd wager most people watching your channel are not professional bodybuilders, just average folks who get in the gym and lift a few times a week when they can budget the time. Personally, my lifting days are 2 leg days with squats and deadlifts, and 2 upper days of pressing and rowing. Seems easier to stay focused. I regard the sessions as a dose of medicine, just slam down and proceed with life.
yes sir!
Seth is a beast!
Just watched your video again while the preworkout kicks in! Gonna kill chest this morning! Keep up the great videos, John!
love the show
Awesome!! Man, loved watching you hype yourself up for that last set on the incline bench. Showing up and shippin' out!
thank you!
mountaindog1 No..thank you! Your videos aren't just informal, they're inspiring. You do a great job man!
My man
great stuff brother
Baby is up. Might as well watch John smash the iron.
It is so hard not to hit the gym when watching you guys🏆
2 of my fav bodybuilders. Man I hope there will be a reunion 👍🏼
I have chest cramps now. Those flat and incline negatives. Plus I added close grip sets, as well.
that third machine is sick!!
Great video!
Watching this before hitting chest
Maybe you could show us what you do for warmup? Foam roll? Or just rotator cuff stuff and would you recommend doing this workout twice a week, or just once and the second time a bit easier? Love your content, wish I could afford paying for your programs! Love from Sweden.
yep
1 time a week...the 2nd chest workout drop the barbell work so you don't beat up your soft tissue. Our warms were a bunch of sets on the machine press today.
Okey! Thank you for the reply, you're the best!
Outstanding.like the free weight sessions alott better. Also wish I didn't have to be a truck driver and have the time that you do.to work out.thanks many times
Looking strong John. Thanks for the motivation
thank you!
Day and night on breathing techniques lol Thank you sir for these videos, use them at my Crunch fitness gym in San Antonio!
Nice!

welcome!

lol..thank you!
John Meadows the King of Muscle and T-shirts
haha!
Seth a fucking Monster..
John is a great channel love the videos, great content. LOL please stop using overlapping music because it’s a distraction. I can’t tell if that was a mistake or if it was intentional because there’s actually no transitions but other than that your videos are awesome
8:19 face slaps of POWA
John, first of all, you're the best. I've been training for 43 years (I'm 65) and I am still learning thanks to you and your videos. My question is, I assume your RPE on the 3rd set of 8 is a 10. What would the RPE be on the first and second set. Thanks for your time, John.
probably like an 8
epic chest workout !
thank you!
These two cats are putting in work! 👀👀 Goddamn. Great video and great information. No one explains workouts better!🙏🏿
RIP TO ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT 🙏🏻
I like how you talked about rotator.
Mine i did in 6 years back their never the same after and the operation hurts more the when you mess it up
yea gotta be smart
💪 and myself walking in to the gym for deload 😢
Born and raised in Dayton (Beavercreek) Another excellent video. The music sounded like Mission Impossible on roids.
Thank you Tim
Wow Seth looks so young here! R. I. P. John... You are, and always will be a legend.
Hey John, I really appreciate your training videos. I do chest fly's before I do any of my press exercises, just to get blood in my chest. I noticed you do them at the end and the press exercises first. Can you recommend something to warm up my chest other then flys at the beginning?
any kind of machine press
John,
I wish you would come out with a routine for us guys who can’t handle the higher volume. I’ve tried two of your routines before and I burned out after about three weeks. I just can’t recover from that much volume but I love higher intensity. I want to be able to put on size but I haven’t been able to get past basic strength training.
try them again, but just cut the volume down 20-30%
John, is that first movement the Prime incline press or flat press?
JOHN i so need a shirt that says. "My Second day" on the back of the shirt...on the front it should say "just glad to be here" ...place emogie as needed 💪
👍💪
Who remembers old school gyms where they had 35lb iron plates? Those were the days
Where should people stop on a regular flat bench press or dumbell press? I've always thought that a 90 degree elbow bend is perfect form, which means the barbell doesn't need to touch the chest and can stop a few inches above. Does the same thing you said about incline bench apply here for the flat bench press?
And for people with bad genetics. Thanks
always showing the young ones how its done.
Missing you John! Such a guy!
Your videos are always so motivating! What type of camera do you use?
I'll have to ask my guy, not sure which one it is
I've always caught hell doing incline barbell presses any advice on technique enhancement John?
5:21 BEAST MODE ACTIVTED!
Hi John! I have bicep tendonosis and rotator injuries. I can't do much for shoulders - no overhead presses or side laterals. But incline presses on the smith machine doesn't hurt at all. Will that build my delts (even thought it's for chest)? Any other exercises you recommend? Thanks!!!
yes and make sure you do alot of rear delts ok - even just banded face pulls if you can
I wish you guys would show the kind of warm ups that you do before you get into the heavy lifting you think maybe you can do that one time show how you guys warm up first
Hey John.. old video but what brand are those elbow sleeves? I like that they dont cover an entire half of the upper and lower arm
iron rebel
John a strong mtf
Seth is a fucking monster holy shit 💪🤙
yes he is!
8:00...Does it make sense to go from incline barbell to the incline machine...isn't a similar excercise?
Killer workout man!
Do you think these exercises would be good using HIT training? Mentzer/Yates style.
yes
mountaindog1 Sweet :) Thank you Mr. Meadows :)
Well I did your chest workout tonight and had a great pump from it. Had to train by myself and worked up to 265x5 on incline bench grest video thanks.
good job!!!!
Dope shirt, Chris Hemsworth!
Lol! Chris Hemsworth doesn't hold a candle to Seth though! 😉
John! Love the videos and workouts my dude. You're like a walking bodybuilding encyclopedia but you're killing me on how you count reps! Count early then late then late then early and sometimes you miss one
you just gain a new subscriber. Keep up the great and informative vids.
Thank you!
hi my brother it's me again I got a question to ask you been working out for about four to five months and I try to work my ass off but I am at at a standstill I can't really see any results anymore I think I am at a plateau part of working out please give me some advice the main part that I have not noticed any performance is my chest and arms I need your help awesome video once again
John im forma Spain and probabilly you said it and i dont understand but..are not too many up chest excercises? I have understand that is better to attack the chest by different sides
12 sets is too much?
Hey John..I noticed you did 12 total working sets. Im going to do this on my chest day but should I do a second chest day as well later this week once I recover or is this enough for the whole week?
yea give it 3 days rest
mountaindog1 thanks!
Out of all the fitness gurus and bullshit artists on CZcams, John is among the very few I trust
Thank you
Hey Mr. Meadows,
Was wondering if you have any advice regarding grip-width on bench press exercises. I'm on the tall side of things (6'2'') and I just cant seem to find that sweet spot that best targets my chest.
I also want to thank you for all your help throughout the years (even tho you have no clue who i am). About 6 years ago when I started training at 16 I was given your name by a few trainers I look up to (Iain Valliere, Joss Monette), who in turn look up to you as one of the best in the industry. I have happy to say that they did not lie. Since then I've been lurking in the shadows, following your youtube and reading all your articles on t-nation from way back.
In all honesty, and without trying to butter you up, I credit alot of my progress to your methods, which are not only practical and creative but also put an emphasis on safety and long-term health, an emphasis which I am happy you taught me from day one rather than later down the road when it's too late. I also appreciate your honest, no-nonsense approach, and your consideration of skill-level and enhanced/natty status while giving out advice, which has allowed me to progress safely into your more advanced techniques. All too often I find it difficult to take advice from some of the "big names" out there when it's painfully obvious that advice is for non-nattys.
This also applies to your attitude towards supplements/affiliations, which are not only transparent, science-based and bullshit-free (something desperately lacking in the supps industry) but also seem to be top-notch in quality though I unfortunately cannot confirm it myself as they are simply too expensive for a canadian student (damn exchange rate and shipping).
Sorry for the bible, this was supposed to just be a question about bench grip but I just thought you deserve to be reminded of all the people you've helped though you may not always be aware of it.
As always I look forward to your next video.
what do you mean you can't..cant feel chest...? too much tris?
mountaindog1 usually too much front delts, they get tired before pecs do. I've tried the usual tricks (shoulder blades back and down aka "packed"), keeping bar 1 inch from chest, etc. So i was just wondering if you have a prefered grip width that helps you best target your chest
