Throwback to a year ago, I bought a set of dumbbells and wanted to start training. I went on youtube and searched for "dumbbell only workouts" All the other videos were too complicated for me, but John's videos were straight to the point and John explained all the exercise's thoroughly. After each home workout i was eagerly waiting for the next video to pop up so I could try it next. His videos got me into fitness again. Very sad to hear of his passing. RIP
Sad to see this comment, Im about to workout for the first time in decades after falling into depression & letting myself go, only discovered his channel today when looking for tips.
I got overwhelmed with sadness watching John's videos today. I then proceeded to create all the exercise videos in this series in the HEVY app with all the detail for others to follow, as a tiny tribute. I hope that's alright. I wish everyone in John's family are going strong despite the loss. My thoughts go out to the twins. It's not easy and what happened is so, so unfair. It's heart warming to see that John's legacy lives on with thousands and thousands of us that have been blessed with his kindness.
Thank you. The simple old school dumbell exercises are very helpful. I'm 57, and trying to get in shape and be healthy enough to keep working and fight cancer.
I work in oil refinery maintenance. I'm not looking to compete but it would be nice to get attention for being in shape. Realistic goals for average guy.
Shouting out his kid with the yoyo tricks is so wholesome 🥺also at 7:00 that's good advice, because I've tried using other people's guides, and it requires stretching my old injuries too far, so I'm glad you mentioned that it should be a comfortable angle to hold
Gotta say, John, as I soldier on in the comfort of my basement doing these exercises with my Powerblocks....doing something positive for myself during this Pandemic, just having your learned and calm instruction in the background, then listening to Alexander in the middle as well, really completes my day and adds a little stability and normalcy during a stressful time. Thank you to you and your family. From a Front line responder.
Awesome John. Thank you for all the information that you provide. No politics, no foul language, just straight to the point with bodybuilding knowledge. You should have your own podcast.
Morning John! That shirt is bad ass! And now I have more ways to blast those Tri's! Any chance you have a video coming on forearms and grip strength? Stay healthy sir!
I literally just discovered his workout few minutes ago and as i am scrolling through the sadness about him passing hits you hard. Sorry John. Wish you had continued with your great videos. God bless your son. I think he was in this video 😢😢. Bless his heart
cant thank you enough for allowing me to tweak 2 of these exercises just enough for the maximum stretch....tried em both today already and what a difference
I have a home gym. I have lower back problems so I do the kickbacks with dumbbells using an adjustable bench lying flat on my stomach. It feels great without putting stress on my back from bending over, I've gotten results pretty fast too. I also use the resistance bands the kind that attach to the door.
I noticed on the lying extentions you kept your hands kinda in line with your eyes and forehead more. I would bring it more over my neck area making it a slight pullover also. I got to work on the line more tomorrow with them. Great example on that. Thanks john. Have a great rest of week
Man i wish John was immortal, we all would be blessed infinitely, although the stuff he has out is Diamond tier, that wouldve been the icing in the cake, miss you big man 🙏🏻
Great dumbell stuff, it's nice to have all of them in one video. And once again, great job Alexander! You're a very talented yo-yo-ist (is that a word?)🤷♂️
Very informative, John, sadly not with us, ...saw his tutorials with the doctor guy, analysing his bloods, ...little did I know he'd not be with us much longer. I had heart attack in 2017 and luckily survived. but still keeping fit as my doctor referee me to a gym programme, RIP thanks for all you did for the sport!
Back about 1970 while training at the San Jose YMCA I saw this teenager with awesome triceps and asked him what exercise he did to get them, he showed me your 'L' triceps press. I did them as part of my workout for about 20 years,think I'll add them back in.
Thanks for the video "only triceps with dumbbells' workout. My choice would be similar. If it wasn't only dumbbells I would also include: - Weighted dips - diamond press ups - EZ bar skullcrushers/EZ bar close grip press (supersetted) - Cable push downs (finisher) I enjoyed your resistance bands series from earlier this year. Would you be able to give up a bodyweight only exercises?
I find these are way better for me than cables as the connection is insane. My gym is open now and have tried cables again just to compare but hand weights win everytime!
I remember doing that second one 3 years ago. I was new to the gym had maybe 5 months of weightlifting experience and did what Jeff from AthleanX told me. I went heavy and dislocated my left shoulder. Took me 6 months to not feel pain in my shoulder but even now it's still messed up. Thanks Jeff! After this experience I stopped doing AthleanX workouts blindly and started to learn how to exercise properly.

I am not able to do bcz of my elbows problem....can u give us some alternative suggestion

The last tri exercise is on point
I want to learn how to do the green triangles Slack. Never seen anybody work on yo-yo like that.
Ever since i have implemented that "slack" yo-yo trick into my routine I have seen a 3X improvement on tricep growth! Thanks!
Lmao
Bruh 😂😂
Seems unlikely fella
Legit. I now know why my triceps are unresponsive 👍🏼
Lol
I can’t get over how warm this guys voice is when teaching 🤣 you just know he a kind hearted person
bubble butt 😭😭
Iron Addict bruhh😂💀
@@LuxuryWeekly I hope you’re just trolling because the guy used the emoji before John Meadows’ passing
Looking at John "that guys looks pretty tough and unfriendly"
John when talking "hi everyone, it's a great day to be happy"
When Luke Skywalker stops his Jedi training and started picking up weights.
I always thought the same thing

So sad to hear, he felt like an uncle I never met
Rip john, still watching your videos. Still learning. You’ll always be remembered 🙏🏽
Wait what happened

damn i just discovered him on youtube this week. R.I.P.
i just found out about him today. may his memory be a blessing.
Words cannot describe how much I miss this man 😔
So calming watching a video from John after just watching Coach Greg rant about Jeff. Bless you John stay as you are.
lmao
John - Jeff - Greg, my holy trifecta for gains - mobility - getting yelled at to GO HARDER THAN LAST TIME
John, you are great. Greg, …. I rather eat dry pre work out powder than listen to him. Yup, I rather go six feet under.
AYEEE nobody gonna talk about how sick that JoJo action at 4:48 was

RIP to a LEGEND❤️! Only found him recently but this man has helped me alot
I miss you John. Thanks for all the lessons you've given to us. 🙏
These tricep exercises have given me the best connection and most improvement on my tri's. Great pump.
Thank you John!

Thanks for the tutorial John I hope you’re looking from above watching us watch your tutorials you’re a true motivation rest in paradise!
This is where I get my triceps and Yo-yo info
Still can’t believe he’s gone
Who? This guy?😢
What happened to him?
I love the mini plug for the boy! that was a sick trick i remember attempting stuff like that when i was younger didnt look that good..lol
John Meadows I just want to thank you for all the great workouts and suggestions you have been a great help to me.
It was sad news when I heard that John passed on.... but he still training a lot of us from the other side. xo
You left a huge impact on the world all for the best. Glad I found your channel. RIP 💐
The yoyo trick was too intense. My triceps, traps, and calves were burning. I loved it.
I am SO pumped for a dumbbell only series!! Always bringing us the best workouts!
Great info, my man. Miss you much!!!!
Awesome John. Thank you for all the information that you provide. No politics, no foul language, just straight to the point with bodybuilding knowledge. You should have your own podcast.
Great thanks
Awesome video as always John 👍🏻 Working my triceps is one of my faves. Killing the yo yo tricks as always Alexander 👊🏻
That kid's getting comfortable in front of the camera. Good for his confidence.
WHAT he actually really, really wanted to do. It's not so disrespectness like old folk niggas play it out to be.
Captain Mountaindog & Yo Yo boy
Sounds like a Franchise 🦹♂️🦸♂️
Great videos on great channel excellent advice from great man rip nothing but love for John and family. Keep to the channel going 👍👍👍👍
Morning John! That shirt is bad ass! And now I have more ways to blast those Tri's! Any chance you have a video coming on forearms and grip strength? Stay healthy sir!
Love the series of dumbell only workout
I like these triceps exercises. I will be incorporating these ASAP
The most impressive part of the video was the YO-YO skills, sorry John 😂
Bro, Alexander busted out the MOVES.
Cloud ; agree
Cloud ; and I like his name
This thumbnail was very disappointing, John.
I kid. Good stuff. 👍🏻
Always looking up to JM and others older people to learn from there mistakes so I don’t repeat them as a young teen! much love
Awesome. I need this video so much. Thanks Mr Meadows. Keep it up!
You got it!
Thanks as always Mr. Meadows. Hello from north of Pittsburgh, PA.
And a big thumbs up to Alexander, the Yo-Yo Yoda!
Your son really is skilled with that yoyo. I tried like heck while growing up and could never master it.
Glad you see you fully extend, so many influencers use poor technique
Absolute legend . Locked down here in the lousy uk. Thanks for the video
RIP MAN 🙌🙌💪
Much respect
Mountaindog and Ryan Humiston best training advice on youtube👍👍👍
I love this series you are doing. Did the bicep one on Friday and I am still really sore (it's Sunday evening now). That's fantastic!
I literally just discovered his workout few minutes ago and as i am scrolling through the sadness about him passing hits you hard. Sorry John. Wish you had continued with your great videos. God bless your son. I think he was in this video 😢😢. Bless his heart
I had no idea about L extensions, this helps a lot!
It's the most amazing exercise for getting huge triceps!

cant thank you enough for allowing me to tweak 2 of these exercises just enough for the maximum stretch....tried em both today already and what a difference
You're so welcome!
Rip champ ,thanks alot .. my body is now changing bcause of your tips..
I like that you called them sneaky 😂
I have a home gym. I have lower back problems so I do the kickbacks with dumbbells using an adjustable bench lying flat on my stomach.
It feels great without putting stress on my back from bending over, I've gotten results pretty fast too. I also use the resistance bands the kind that attach to the door.
John also made a series with bands. There are some really great exercises there as well!
Great video helps me out in lock down 🇬🇧
Thank you so much for teaching me the proper way of doing an overhead extension!
Full of knowledge
Such great info for home workouts! John was so inspirational
I noticed on the lying extentions you kept your hands kinda in line with your eyes and forehead more. I would bring it more over my neck area making it a slight pullover also. I got to work on the line more tomorrow with them. Great example on that. Thanks john. Have a great rest of week
Man i wish John was immortal, we all would be blessed infinitely, although the stuff he has out is Diamond tier, that wouldve been the icing in the cake, miss you big man 🙏🏻
Hey John.. Thanks for the solid Tri info.. And of course Alexander's💫performance
Our pleasure!
Thanks man
Didn't even know this man existed 4 days and i already miss him
I like the format of your video. Thanks for uploading.
Thank you one more time i still cannot visit the gym, and my triceps are stagnating not any more! Thank you also for Alexander!
Awesome ! Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Thankyou so much! This has to be the best tricep workout I've ever done.
Great dumbell stuff, it's nice to have all of them in one video. And once again, great job Alexander! You're a very talented yo-yo-ist (is that a word?)🤷♂️
Nice tips for home workout. Thx
Very informative, John, sadly not with us, ...saw his tutorials with the doctor guy, analysing his bloods, ...little did I know he'd not be with us much longer. I had heart attack in 2017 and luckily survived. but still keeping fit as my doctor referee me to a gym programme, RIP thanks for all you did for the sport!
Excellent Content
Glad you enjoyed it
I used to yoyo all the time, I doubt I can do green triangle anymore, but it might help my fine motor control.
John some more dumbbell and BW only workouts would be amazingly helpful for those of us still stuck at home!
More to come!
your workuots are the best.....
What a shame Mountain Dog has passed, very good information and help for those of us stuck at home.

- diamond press ups

4:50 Mightily impressive! 😎
Good tips and explained in plain English.
I find these are way better for me than cables as the connection is insane. My gym is open now and have tried cables again just to compare but hand weights win everytime!
I feel the same, paying for gym membership to use dumbell's I have at home :p
I remember doing that second one 3 years ago. I was new to the gym had maybe 5 months of weightlifting experience and did what Jeff from AthleanX told me. I went heavy and dislocated my left shoulder. Took me 6 months to not feel pain in my shoulder but even now it's still messed up. Thanks Jeff! After this experience I stopped doing AthleanX workouts blindly and started to learn how to exercise properly.
yeah the athlean x stans would burst a blood vessel reading this but somebody had to say it
