But he sure taught me a lot and I feel really bad about not watching him he taught me more then just fitness I realize that now. Rest up John and I hope your boys and wife are holding up may good bless them

    I’ve followed John for years. Done many of his workouts, used many of his tips. Two years ago i blew out my shoulder and took a lot of time away from the gym. Lost motivation. Finally got back in, caught covid. Got back in, got in a car accident that injured that same shoulder again last December. I’m still recovering from that, but watching John has kept me motivated to keep going. I built a new program using different workouts hes posted, and taken some of his diet advice like adding eggs and making sure they’re cooked sunny side up to keep the nutrients at their best. John, you’ve taught me a lot, motivated me, and helped me look at life through a more positive lens in dark times. Thank you, you will NEVER be forgotten

    around a year and a half ago I commented on one of your videos about intra workout I was 300lbs over weight at the time and last year I got on stage for the first time at 189lbs. You are one of my idols and heroes. This year with covid and everything going on I feel lost and depressed. I have a great coach but even he isn't sure how to help me right now. This video actually made me cry a little bit because it really meant a lot for me to hear this from you publicly today,. I don't normally get this emotional, but thank you, John. I'm going to go pump up in my tinny home gym with the inspiration I got from you today.

  • @Robbieahmed3
    @Robbieahmed3 4 года назад +1

    John's kids are very lucky to have a father like him. Ive always had an absent father who ended up leaving us, I always felt inadequate as to being a man and many aspects of life because of that. I'm slowly starting to take control of my life from depression and everything around me, believe it or not once I started training my mindset became more goal oriented. John and his videos are pretty big part of that process. I believe in almost everything this man teaches such as values, training, life lessons etc. Long story short thank you John you're definetly winning at life in my opinion.

    • @mountaindog1
      @mountaindog1  4 года назад +1

John is out here with dad-level advice - whether it’s in the gym, the kitchen, or just about life in general.

    John great wisdom.one thing i always have done is don't tell anyone my plans,not going around telling every one i gonna fight in the ring or i gonna cut and than not walking the walk.i always get this idea i gonna do this or that and than i do it.to many people plan and tell everyone and than not following trough,now thy have to look at thy're selves in the mirror everyday and others reminding him of his failure.at some point one has to stop with only watching Rocky movies and begin to write thy're own,living life like camera's are following 24/7.
    Another wisdom to win in life is this :
    Don't just tell everyone your problems or infermities it's sad but it's tru,you have 3 kinds of people
    1 the minority how would love to see your downfall,you tell them your problem and make thy're day so thy're faith works against you.
    2 the majority that have compassion for your situation but don't posses any power to help your,worse than that thy go and tell your problem to others and thy themselves beeing helples thy're faith works against you.now everywhere you come people comming up to you and telling how bad thy feel for you,that is faith in the begative multiplied
    3 the maybe one person who stands with in faith not talking dispair,death,destruction this person who would die for you and if one has not such a person than better walk alone and be that person for someone else.all the best to you and your family John👐

    I graduated two years ago with a degree I didn't care about and have been totally lost and wandering since then. A lot of people have made fun of me and my confidence has been shattered. I realized recently what was really imporant to me after I started working out and I want to go back to school to study Physiotherapy after witnessing my dad having a stroke and working with Physios to regain control of his life. I'll have to go back to high school first to study biology and I'll only graduate by the time I'm around 30, but I'd rather start late than never and end up in a dead end career I don't care about anyways. What I was really missing was goals and people who belived in me. Thank you for the great video bro.

    Number 2 hits me hard to be honest.
    i have so much pain mentally and physically, left my family which didnt understand me and they just say "whats wrong with you you are ok" no im not. so I left them, put some negativity away from live. after time i take my self more and more back, lost friends aswell. 24/7 im in thoughts, which seems to others im a arrogant mofo... the only thing which kept and keep me alive is going to the gym and train the fuck out of my soul. having a goal to look up to. ( which currently is hard, i cant do homeworkouts cause of the mentioned problems) got depressions aswell.
    so after you mentioned happieness, i just cried, cause i have none lol

      He was a great man. He even helped me and my brother clean our garage. There was nothing this wonderful man would not do for others.
