    This man was such a pleasure to watch and to learn from. I am sad that he passed, but his videos continue. He was not full of himself, he was sincere and candid and honest, and was to a great extent, humble. His videos were made on a one-to-one: just you and him. He was not projecting his information to an audience. His videos were intimate, just to one person at a time, though thousands watched him.

    I moved to front squats a few years ago. After three years , finally got comfortable. I’m up to about half of my rear squats. Maximizes tension on quads as opposed to back, hip flexors and hams. Increases your mobility. Stay in the pockets too

    I do feel he made this video for myself and others who had back surgeries and have herniated discs, issues. He cared about people and I’m so thankful for his videos and advice he gave me on Instagram. I am now shredded, and my shoulders and back grew nicely from his teachings. I am now debating HRT since I’m 42 just to help bring me some quality of life back. Because being really lean and natural kind of sucks at 42 years old lol Thank you John for everything!!❤❤❤

      Mate , I’m having disc problems at 16 it’s not looking good for me at all. I’ll suspect herniations but honestly I don’t know. So I’m very fearful of deadlifts and even squats.
