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.

Without a doubt, the best bulking advice I've ever received.
Not just telling us how to improve, but explaining exactly why certain methods have the effect that they do.
Really helpful thanks allot!

[juandominguez]

I need to show a couple of powerlifters at my gym this video. Because they look about 14 months pregnant.

5:25 - I’d never thought of that. In my late 20s I got pretty fat (not bulking, just prioritizing career over fitness) and I developed allergies to grass, trees, dogs, all sorts of stuff. As I got back into shape the allergies all quietly went away.

[vytaspuzycki]

Pure gold John! Arnold's maxim of "stay hungry" still applies!!

[ultrafloss]

Thanks very much Mr. MD&E!

I was contemplating how to utilise a 12/16 hour fast into the bulk because of Insuline resistance and generally I prefer not being so much food centered throughout the day and thus the increase of 20% was a perfect suggestion for me to start. 😁💪🏾

Being happy and feeling good are totally different things.

I feel happy at the moment of watching somebody on YouTube doing full day of eating junk shit, 10, 000 kcal or 20, 000 wherefore. But I don’t feel good at all.

I feel good when I watch informational videos from good channels on YouTube like this one right here. Always get to learn something new from mountaindog. You got my respect

[annhogan]

Thanks guys another great video. Could listen to Eugene all day when he starts talking about the immune system, inflammation, cytokines etc .

[nimmer]

Did some training with Eugene in Melbourne. He is an absolute champion trainer
Great to see you guys working together ✊

Hi John. It would be very interesting to see you do a series on 'working out around injuries', and tackling several episodes/areas: knees, elbows, shoulders etc. Which excercises to do and which to avoid. I know it's kind of a broad topic but it would be interesting to see how you treat this subject which is common in lifters.

[parasxoselement]

Mr meadows i respect you so much..you are the most infotmative and genuine person in the indurstry..i really hope i could meet tou some day and train together..much love from greece!

[wilsonlee]

Thanks John & your very knowledgeable guest, I made the same mistakes on bulking before & a lot of people I know thinks getting big muscle is through eating. But I discover I was still able to build more muscle just eating at maintenance, because I worked out harder & more frequently now all the nutrient was absorbed by the muscles during recovery & nothing was wasted & my body fat lowered & I became more vascular & showed more striations too. I never liked force feeding myself anyway, a bulging stomach is very uncomfortable.

Needed this video 9 weeks ago, I started at 72kg then went hard and stayed disciplined got to 90kg and felt fat. Dropped to 82kg and feel good at approx 20% bf and feel great

[Mark.Matthews]

So many valid points, especially on the nutritional content of the food you're trying to consume. It's easier to eat more when you feel healthier and not feeling slow, bogged under and feeling like crap.

[xXThatKidXxEspinoza]

John deserves millions of more subscribers!

[robertsterling]

Awesome video, wish it was longer. But really informing.

[speedracer]

Funny you mentioned colitis lol I got uc when I was 23 after gaining about 20 lbs in a really short time from only weight 130 most of my adolescents and into my early adulthood. After that I slowly put on another 50 lbs over the course of 2 years and just cut 20 lbs doing a slow deficit. 23 year old shouldn't have uc it was the most painful experience of my life and I told myself I'm never going through that again. Just goes to show just because you're young doesn't mean you're immune to things you'll experience later in life, stay healthy and wealthy y'all

"We hijacked it, we saved a lot of money" Stay financially sound, John!

[samjennings]

I am definitely guilty of this. I hope to change this while working with a nutrition coach. Last bulking cycle I did I put on about 40lbs, some fat, some muscle. Once the cycle was over I lost about 15lbs of BF. however I have never been that lean. Things are going to change this year.

[Bullitt]

I'm the heaviest I've been in years currently at 224lbs, got a tiny power belly currently but it's all good lol.
This time last year I was hovering around 185-190, now I'm sitting 215-225 depending on my snacking lol . January will be my 4th anniversary of stepping in a gym for the first time!

[reccts]

Really good information and that’s an important topic!
