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.

I've decided to comment before viewing the whole video to say I appreciate all of your hard work and what you contribute to the fitness community

[coreyfearing]

Just started doing this a week and a half ago with 40/40/20. I was doing keto and low carb before and kept losing muscle but when I did your recommendations I gain muscle and shredded even more bf%. This is my favorite YouTube channel now thanks for all the awesome content and knowledge 🤙🤙🤙 Aloha from Honolulu, HI.

[justinasbaltrimas]

brilliant little guide. I've been training for 3 years now and making decent gains but I always was a little intimidated by macros but you made it simple. Big thanks!

[simplycy]

You’re in my rotation of the only bodybuilder/ fitness channels I never miss. You’re the man, thank you for the egoless, yet no bs humble and logical approach you bring to every single video. We need more people like you not just in fitness but in the world. Good health to you and your loved ones my man ! 🙏🏼

[symqual]

This basic ratio is easy to be applied for making the individual's ideal body absolutely! This vid is really evangelistic for all the trainees. I appreciate you so much as usual.

[lewpie]

Thanks for that! Just started this week on trying to count marcos and just so happens you dropped this video! You just help me gain some good knowledge

[leckman]

Again, John takes 20 years of headaches and makes a simple, impressive and easy to apply model

[kaminski]

Thanks John! Your tips about nutrition is very helpful

[FengTooth]

Having access to great trainers like you with this knowledge is immeasurable. Thank you for everything you do Meadows, I appreciate you tons!

[coltonsimoneau]

This video was extremally helpful. I have been confused on the subject of macros and overthinking my diet plan, but this helped me get into the game and realize my plan doesn't have to be perfect to start. Thank you John, rest in peace.

[gesiisak]

Macros are nutrition math for maximum recovery and result on every training program. Thank you John!

[wesleyjeurissen]

Thanks John for this great content. I love how you provide us with short to the point information.

[rbrickproductions]

Thanks for the video John! Haven't been as concerned with my macros as I normally achieve around the same amount as you suggest anyway and stick to a pretty simple diet. Recently I've been curious about this and wanting to know the whole "logic" that goes into calculating these things so this video came at a great time!

[itzdans]

This is what I used to start my weight loss journey 2 years ago in February. Funny though it was because I was 220 so I just followed what he written down. I’ve now lost 20 lbs and idk how much muscle I’ve gained but I’ve made massive gains my stomach is almost all gone only stubborn love handle fat. All thanks to you John. I hope you see this comment in heaven.

[AussieAngeS]

Thank you John I really loved the way you explained this is simple terms.
