Anyone else here revisiting watching all of John’s podcasts since his passing? What an amazing man. We will miss him dearly. I have learned so much from him. Inside and outside the gym, the fitness world lost the truest example of what it is to be a leader. He gave so much to everyone. Thank you, John. Rest In Peace

3 years later and this conversation still delivers more than info, it delivers passion about the craft they mastered and the wisdom they collected is amazing. RIP John Meadows, a true gentleman in the profession.

He seems a little bit out of his element with all this unprovoked cursing from the other guy in this interview. John Meadows never curses on camera. The other guy curses casually in random situations where there isn't even cursing needed to emphasize something or whatever, it's just "fuck"this and "bitch" that for no reason

They are old and close friends who understand each other. John, you can see here, would curse on occasion. Dave just curses more often as his own patter. People have individual styles, but they can - and do - still have something to say.

Rest in peace, John -- the legend lives on.

One can tell that John and David go way back, even though they told us. Dave tries to stay in interviewer mode, but you can feel the bond that they share somewhere between the lines. John is even more relaxed than when he records clips for his own channel, seemingly at ease with Dave. Almost finishing each others sentences. This talk, along with the JM Blakley one, are easily my favorites. Mainly because of the chemistry between Dave and his, but also because of the lack of training discussion. Thank you, Dave. Thank you for these enlightening and affirming conversations. I'll get back to spending time with my family now.

Nice eye bro.

The intra workout protocol is very interesting. always a goldmine of info to come back at and listen. Thank you John and Dave

Being stupid less often is EXACTLY how I define my progress as I get older 😄

Just stumbled across this in my feed, great video. John was a super nice guy. For what it's worth, as someone who was a friend and fraternity brother of John's in college, I would say he didn't go too crazy with the drinking then. He was pretty moderate by college standards, focused pretty hard on training and actually studied hard, too. He started college pretty young, he was only 17 as a freshman, but always had a pretty good head on his shoulders about taking care of the important stuff first.

I know that this podcast went unnoticed by a lot of people. But I have to say that this podcast meant a great deal to me, and changed my outlooks on things - thanks to John. If anyone else is watching after John's passing - I think it's universally agreeable that he accomplished his life's legacy @ 2:49:00. Thank you from the bottom of my heart John, for everything you've done for us.

I just listened to this podcast on Spotify and heard him talk about his legacy. I had to watch the video and skip to when he talks about his legacy. It’s surreal to hear him talk about how he hopes people remember him as a good person and father. For someone that never met him, it’s apparent that he definitely will be.

Man I love John Meadows. Makes me proud to be an old guy still bangin out reps.

The moment where John answers the legacy question gave me the chills. I would say rest easy John but I know he’s training harder up there. ❤️❤️

Dave, John, thanks for your advice and honesty.

This is probably your best table talk, Dave. The discussion about "balance" is priceless.

I heard about John from this channel and Ive been watching his videos ever since. He is a smart guy and a great asset to the community. Thanks for sharing him with us all!

Watching this 3 years later and the messages are still relevant, especially at the beginning when John talks about just not being able to help himself in the gym. I ruptured my L5 in my lower back last year and avoided doing dealifts and squats while i was going through treatment....until yesterday. Everything felt good so I did some deadlifts for the first time in about a year. My head was telling me stop at 3 plates but my ego made me carry on to 5. I regret that decision today. The point of this rambling though is when John was talking about it, it reminded me that I'm not the only stupid one out there.

RIP John. He and Dave are my favorite duo in all of strength training.

37:48 "Take the time to get your TECHNIQUE right, on everything, not just the big stuff".. Such a valuable advice, I'm learning a lot, thank you for this!

Grateful to have found John early in my lifting career.

Almost hurts watching this, John was such a gem. Every workout there’s something I do that I learned from John. A great role model that anyone getting into fitness should go and learn from.

Thanks Dave for this ! I was wondering if it would be possible to get Matt Wenning and Chuck Vogelpohl and George Halbert on the podcast someday. Thanks for making this free, if people take the time to listen to all of these podcasts there is so much gold !

So glad there are these lasting records of John

John is such an awesome human being. Huge inspiration for me, for fitness and being a man.

What an awesome person John was the world absolutely needs more people like him loved all of his content he was amazing

Absolutely loved this podcast, brilliant knowledge and so easy to listen to and absorb

Thanks for the video ! Meadows is a great inspiration, and keep the podcasts coming !

Dave Tate is just interesting AF. One of the few people I'd love to sit down with and just pick his brain

Hard to believe this August will mark 2 years. We love and miss you Mountain Dog.

God I miss this man...im so angry and sad and I didn't even know him...this is such a great episode I've watched it 3 times in full now. 😢 💪 Marine Mike

This was just a great, great podcast!!! John was an amazing person

The first ten minutes of this are absolutely harrowing. when they were talking about Matt porter it brought a tear to my eye to think that a similar situation happened to John not too long after. RIP mountain dog, we all have so much to learn from you still to this day.

Thanks Dave and John peace and grace. Work and gym and family. Have to make time to listen to our gurus. Yes indeed

So many good nuggets of information here. Love the wisdom of this conversation. Hour and 24 minutes in is gold.. Successful Bodybuilding is disciplined consistent hard work for a long time.

“You can only use so much nitrous.” Cautionary tale there. “Everything in between…” indeed.

You guys are awesome love these conversations,love the topics. I hope you continue it keeps my old brain active. Thanks

RIP John Meadows

Loved every minute of this. Thank you.

On “faith,” the late great Paul Anderson, a very devout Christian, on a video of his life, stated that everyone should “believe in something,” (my words, but close anyway to what Paul said). Paul Anderson wasn’t at that point saying that everyone should necessarily hold his chosen faith, but that people should hold…maybe a good thought or optimism based upon a “something” greater than themselves. I personally hold that concept, though I waver… Great topic for John and Dave!

Good nutrition n sleep is definitely important. Thanks for the video some good information here.

These last 2 podcasts have been gems.

Im 30 and lapping up this old school info. Cheers guys.

Really love the candor. Great listen.

anyone here in 2024? RIP John, and my friend

One of the best yet. Thanks.

Love these two guys

the correct way to address that pain like low back after squats is by strengthening the weak links that squats actually make worse. exercises for the low back such as reverse hypers, reg 45 deg hypers, good mornings, glute ham raises, inverse curl, leg curl, and sled drags to strengthen the hips. if you just squat all the time, you'll ruin your hips and have low back pain forever

We love you John Meadows

Just found this....... amazing podcast

Great podcast. 👍

I love what John says. Jay Cutler said in a Larry Wheels/Mike O'Hearn video that he doesn'y bench and hasn't for years because he doesn't feel right with it.

Great show👍

I love the content. Will Dave return to make new podcasts?

Dave it think your a fine guy. But really to be honest, for me it felt like it was Dave Tate on the Dave Tate show, with a little bit of meadows haha. I really like John and cherish his advise and knowledge. He’s got a very nice voice and tells stories pleasantly . I would’ve liked to have heard more from John in this show, since he is your guest haha. Anyway, still nice! Meadows must come again! John Meadows is gold. Thanks and greetings from Holland.

Poignant topic . . . R.I.P. Mr. Meadows -

Is Dave's jacket ever for sale? Always liked it

This is gold.

So sad to hear them talking about passing away and now he has. I just saw this today.

Damn Dave almost made me cry thinking about the regrettes

Might not be good... but props to dave for needing a shoulder replaced until now but still being able to train while F'd up

Marlon Darton?. Met him at a guest posing circa 1988. Nice guy!

36:00 - 39:00 good stuff 51:00 also good to know Four hours four days a week :D Also John's last question is gold!

You're heartless if you didn't laugh when Dave said so of course he himself had to try a baconator the next day

@1:33:40 Melted my heart

02:50:00 Boy o boy did he call the c vd social isolation problem before it ever existed. Forever ahead of the times, RIP Mt. Dog!

The Baconator strikes back!!!

I love this shitt continue on Southeast

Thx 👍

Praise the lord for these stories about dudes doing dumb-ass sh!t in the gym and getting fkd up! :D Jokes aside, GREAT podcast! You have so many awesome people on. Lots of useful info.

Bad things are going to happen, but you have to have faith things are gonna be ok. Prophetic words after John's heart attack. Very glad he's made it through it and is still living a full life. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iKJ5xqqgftXWf8o.html

That intro! It really made me miss the man.

59:13 Dave rips a big one and you can hear him exhale after pushing

What is that noise in the background??

59:15 Helluva fart
