Love watching your videos over and over again. You’re very inspirational and help drive me through my journey. You’re forever missed. Rest easy mountain dog.
Loved watching all of John’s videos. So much educational content from a class act individual. Thoughts, prayers, and best wishes to his wife and sons after his passing. He was a mentor to so many and we all are mourning this loss. Always made me smile when he said “ok hi everybody…” :)
I love hearing about one of his best moments at this heartbreaking time. Great video to watch while I'm getting my workout in today. We'll miss you incredibly John.
Man, this is one of the most inspiring and hard stories i've heard, there wasn't tricks or miracles, only years of hard work and patience to get that Pro Card in a super competitive sport.
Very nice of you John to have done the right thing by your client (letting him take the Pro card in the second division). Not everyone has the ethics and respect for others to do such a thing. You looked amazing too, lots of hard work right there.
What a journey John! I got tired just watching all this series and imagining everything. You're a true real example of the never give up! You've overcome very tough obstacles, I wasn't aware of all this.
Never gave up, did the right thing, got 2x 1st place, his pro card and his client also got his pro card... damn, seems like all of the bitterness leading up to that day was corrected in one swoop. I can't imagine what it was like for all of this to go exactly as it did but I sure agree with you that this was a very special moment for you and bodybuilding in general.
Eatin my last meal of the day, this video really Fucken fired me up. Great video John. You’re an awesome bodybuilder. Motivation me even more to go full steam ahead for my first show August 18th.
Congrats John! It's beautiful seeing hard work pay off! You're one of the most humbling inspiring guys in bodybuilding! It's a pleasure to follow you on your journey and an absolute joy to hear your story! I hope you do more of these! I've watched many interviews of you and I really enjoy hearing your perspective! Keep up the fantastic work! Thanks so much for sharing! Have a great day! 🙏
This video series is amazing! I am watching this series whilst on the treadmill preparing for my first natural pro qualifier. With each episode of your story I feel more and more excited for the opportunity to compete at the national level. Perhaps one day I too will have a wonderful life-story worth sharing with the world.
wow! John that's some story, you live the dream that some bodybuilders only wish they could. I'm very glad that you got your pro card, you earned it and I know for a fact you work for it, a big congratulations to you. thanks for sharing!
wow you looked amazing up on stage John, you're a wonderful motivation for many around the world, I enjoy hearing your stories and how you became to be where you're at. You're a smart man and love your knowledge. thank you
Awesome!!! And well deserved. I will never forget listening to you share your thoughts when telling this story. You ingrained some wisdom into me that day that will last forever. 😎
obviously found this video kinda late. if you're still seeing comments. you have hands down the the vids on the net. you're story is an inspiration to us all and could not have happened to a more deserving man. congratulations DOG!
Hey John, great story. This question is a bit off topic, but I wanted to buy one of your training programs, but I wasn’t sure if I had to be a member of your website or not.
The poster boy for never giving up... John, you are the Rocky Balboa of bodybuilding!
