RIP mountain dog !!! You were such a great father and mentor , you will be severely missed by all !! I’m so sorry your gone to early and I hope your kids will be ok , good luck to your family
Resistance bands give you a great workout. I bought a set of thick and tubing styles. Very good resistance and feel the contractions better than free weights. Always looking for variety of exercises to do.Even though I’ve been working out for 35 years you never stop learning . Be humble and keep learning . John is the best when it comes to getting information out there especially to Natural lifters. He has a lot of knowledge and I appreciate him sharing it .
Mountain dog perfect exercises for: * Curls tree and rows a car * Thank so much! It's hard not being able to train but with help like this we can keep our gains.
Dear John, all through these difficult times you have been a tremendous source of encouragement....i look up to your videos each day after my workout....thoroughly enjoy them....keep up the good work....
Exactly what we (those of us with bands) need now. Not some "deadlift in your garage" when I haven't got a barbell... Or a garage. Love your videos, bigman.
John- On week 3 of your recommended cut (just dropped 10%). Perfect timing for tonight's back workout. Thanks for summarizing in the summary section. :)
Solid workout I just followed this. Similar bands and frequency. I couldn't fit the car in my apartment. I will try that next time. 😂 Thanks for putting these out again. Really love these videos. Gutted he is not with us anymore.

I feel like bands are a must. I'm lucky enough to have a bench, curl bar and dumbells. Of course the weights too. I do all the major lifts and supplement with the bands. Bands allow you to develop a great mind/muscle connection. They help save your joints too. Fire!!
Thanks John for keeping the content coming. I've been incorporating a lot of your band exercises in my home workout while dieting down to best position myself for PR's when we can finally get back in the gym. Been having a blast doing it.
Thank you John for the car pull exercise...my back exploded ever since I incorporated it in my routine...I appreciate your info...I only do it twice a week...I fill car with petrol just to get added resistance
Hi John, Massive thank you for making the video! I absolutely loved it as i'm currently doing my workout routine with bands and you've definitely given me some more ideas for when I train my back, especially when training the stabilisers in the back. Cheers, Billy
@@mountaindog1 Hi john, definitely keep the videos coming, they're very educational. Would you be able to do a video about band exercises for abs, if possible.
As always amazing and entertaining! Small question, you didn't include resistance band deadlift in your list of exercises, is it a bad movement and we should avoid doing it?
@@overnightavenger1470 I saw the Stiff Leg Deadlift & Bent over rows, but not the deadlift (like when you have the ban under your feet). Maybe because they are similar and there's no point of including both in the video :)
You're freakin' awesome John! The one-armed car pull made me bust a gut! 🤣 The band workouts have helped me TREMENDOUSLY during this time we're all going through. Can't wait to hit the iron again! Godspeed and God bless my friend!
Hey JM, Long time subscriber, love the show. Q: once again in my circle, the topic of "over developed front delts" has popped up. The argument of pushing exercises compounded by front delt exercise is causing over development and a waste of time. I however argue, that pulling exercises (which I put just as much work into as pushing, pound for pound , rep for rep) compounded by rear delt exercise will cause "equal effect". In closing, I'm trying to justify my front delt raises lol. What's your stance? Highly respect your opinion
You can't be "Rear delt dominant". It's one of those muscles I've NEVER heard someone say they're too big or too developed. It's impossible, pretty much. It's not like biceps or chest, that can look out of proportion. You could do Rear delt exercises until the cows come home and it'll never look bad like a massive front delt does, or it'll not make your rear delts overtake back exercises, like an over dominant front delt can overtake in pressing exercises.
Try those ‘banded shrugs’ with palms inward and bent/flared elbow (I call them crab curls). This is bicep peak focus (pause when hands at armpits) but that 15% lean gives awesome rear felt/trap also. Then super with much lighter ‘waiter curls’. If you do a push/pull/ leg split this is a great finisher
Nice workout. I just wish that elitefts would stock up on bands. I’ve been trying to order a pair of red ones for the past 2 weeks and there is nothing in stock. I have the orange, silver, and blue but having 2 reds would help a lot
I'm going on the road as a regional trucker so gyms won't be as accessible as they have been. My question is if I should still use a preworkout while using resistance bands as an alternative?
Hey John. I’ve been lifting weights for about 9 years and I’ve made slow and steady progress throughout. I’m trying to find a program to help get to the next level. Do you think your Creeping Death 2 program would be the best option? Or one of your other programs?
Hello john, I was wondering about your back width article on T Nation, do you think Heavy partial pullups/downs and lat stretchers can elongate muscle bellies in time ? I am going to specialize them with 5 sets each in the next days. Let me know your opinion.
Alexander’s trick was awesome! I can’t do the advanced car pull at this time😂 Besides I have a pickup. However, I can do an advanced go-cart pull, or I could until my son said no. But I could really do it!💪🏼😂😂
For the rest of my at home workouts ruclips.net/p/PLNAUreWTt_Sg9DvgFlEGhFULnfJoBFs9K
How many sets and reps you suggest for all band workouts actually?
RIP mountain dog !!! You were such a great father and mentor , you will be severely missed by all !! I’m so sorry your gone to early and I hope your kids will be ok , good luck to your family
Much love to your family
Hearing John say “hiii everybody!” Every video is the most pleasant + wholesome ring to my ears
Chris O I literally smile everytime haha
Hes the townsend of body building
same!
Absolutely....
Chris O hearing John Meadows say “alright hi everybody” gets massive dudes like 😊🤗
“HONEY, OUR NEIGHBOR IS DOING WEIRD STUFF AGAIN”
or "Honey, our neighbor is working out, why don't you get your ass off the couch and do something too!"
"MOM AIDEN CUT ME IN HALF AGAIN!!"
KYMXRacer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the force is strong with this one
If feel like you're the bob ross of bodybuilders, so calm and so happy. You're truly awesome !

Dear John, all through these difficult times you have been a tremendous source of encouragement....i look up to your videos each day after my workout....thoroughly enjoy them....keep up the good work....
Nothing stops the Mountain Dog from getting a pump not even a pandemic! 💪🏻
I imagine his home gym is well equiped...…...

Love the one arm car row! This has been a great series, John has a gift for communicating exercises so clearly.
Gonna have to try that one today!
The car pull got me 😂
Made me buy 2 mini bands from Elitefts too 👍🏻
That yoyo trick was SICK!!
great instruction for band work
Thanks for the help with another out of gym workout!!
Exactly what we (those of us with bands) need now. Not some "deadlift in your garage" when I haven't got a barbell... Or a garage. Love your videos, bigman.
John is such a kind beast💪💛
Excellent content sir! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
7:04 stepping out into the solar flare activity, anger and rage building up.... and THE "INCREDIBLE JOHN MEADOWS" UNLEASHES 💪🏻
John thanks so much for your videos!!
My pleasure!
You are my Hero John. You are literally keeping me sane. Thank you for all the uploads, and peace and blessings to you and your family!!
Thank you MD!
Jacked Wolverine and his Yoyo Sorcerer blessing us all

Great instruction on creating a drop set stepping closer John!
Glad it was helpful!

That's awesome Kurt!

Thanks for putting these out again. Really love these videos. Gutted he is not with us anymore.
Could you try demonstrating some neck workout at home options next video? Thank you, keep doing what you’re doing :)
John for governor ! 👏👏👏👏
Very nice yo-yo skills I haven’t practiced tricks since back in high school. Big talented
I always appreciate the videos and passing on such good knowledge.
I love doing one arm rows, John.
Awesome 👏🏻 great workout
Thanks John for the wonderful exercises with the bands. Workout every morning! Love ❤️ them
There´s so much science involved with the hand grip in terms of which muscles you use
Not sure about the last one but the rest I already do and the bands give a great feel to them. Thanks JM
Now that you mention star wars, you kinda looks like buffed up version of luke.
Yeah he does
💯
This is how we should have found Luke in Episode 8. Jacked and ready
Only just come across this chanel but so happy I did. So much useful info 👌
Welcome aboard!
6:54 - @mountaindog1 loses his mind after sheltering in place for too long. Immediately recovers for next set of band workout. LOL

Dont understand how anyone can dislike this? Just a good man feeding out good useful content to help during a difficult time
Thank you John for the car pull exercise...my back exploded ever since I incorporated it in my routine...I appreciate your info...I only do it twice a week...I fill car with petrol just to get added resistance
Excellence as always sir. Thank you for another fun, inspirational, and informative video.
My pleasure!
Yay, freestyle yoyo 👍
The only channel that I click “Like” within the first 5 seconds (alright hi everybody .. it’s John Meadow is here) ❤️

Thank you 🙏 ❤️

Awesome
Lol the very advanced car pull with a band still a classic to watch hahaha
I’m so proud to say I’m one of your loyal student... thanks for the upload sir really helpful 💪🏽💪🏽
Great video, for real delt! Would you recommend going to failure, since it is a smaller muscle group?
Yes, absolutely
As always brilliant John,thanks for all your great content.Hope you're recovering well.

adam good workout. and hood rugged look going in right there
Another one. Back day is coming up!
Thanks for the workout. Is it the further back that we pull our elbows that'll emphasize the Rhomboids?
That yoyo free style was pretty badass
As always amazing and entertaining! Small question, you didn't include resistance band deadlift in your list of exercises, is it a bad movement and we should avoid doing it?
V K he’s done it like 5 times in other videos bra

no it's good..I didnt think about it
Lmao! John your a fool for that car pull 😂😂😂😂 Hilarious!😅
Alexander Meadows is a freestyling phenom with the yo-yo!!!!!
You're freakin' awesome John! The one-armed car pull made me bust a gut! 🤣 The band workouts have helped me TREMENDOUSLY during this time we're all going through. Can't wait to hit the iron again! Godspeed and God bless my friend!
Would be really cool to do a Live at home banded workout series. That way we could do the workout with you and ask questions!!
I did a few of those!
@@mountaindog1 oh man I'll hafta go back and watch em then. Bummer I missed em but the workouts you're posting with them are killer.thanks again
Hey JM,
Long time subscriber, love the show.
Q: once again in my circle, the topic of "over developed front delts" has popped up. The argument of pushing exercises compounded by front delt exercise is causing over development and a waste of time.
I however argue, that pulling exercises (which I put just as much work into as pushing, pound for pound , rep for rep) compounded by rear delt exercise will cause "equal effect".
In closing, I'm trying to justify my front delt raises lol.
What's your stance?
Highly respect your opinion
Yeah but rear delts actually gets a little attention from most pulling exercises
it depends on what is developing the most and how the balance is.most are front dominant..i prefer extra rear work personally
You can't be "Rear delt dominant". It's one of those muscles I've NEVER heard someone say they're too big or too developed. It's impossible, pretty much. It's not like biceps or chest, that can look out of proportion. You could do Rear delt exercises until the cows come home and it'll never look bad like a massive front delt does, or it'll not make your rear delts overtake back exercises, like an over dominant front delt can overtake in pressing exercises.
We miss you legend ..
Perfectly timed for my at home band back day today, thanks John!
Thank you for all this information! Question... Are you focusing only on bands now or do you still hit the free weights on a routine basis? Thanks!
Try those ‘banded shrugs’ with palms inward and bent/flared elbow (I call them crab curls). This is bicep peak focus (pause when hands at armpits) but that 15% lean gives awesome rear felt/trap also. Then super with much lighter ‘waiter curls’. If you do a push/pull/ leg split this is a great finisher
1 arm car pull is my fave
:)
Can we get another round of single body part band workouts please!
Nice workout. I just wish that elitefts would stock up on bands. I’ve been trying to order a pair of red ones for the past 2 weeks and there is nothing in stock. I have the orange, silver, and blue but having 2 reds would help a lot
I hope so too!
Hi John, i have ordered bands but they ain't big enough, any idea where i should look for them please?
Your boy is pretty slick on that yo yo!
Hahahaha,your a funny guy,lol, love your videos💪💪💪💪
I try
Hey John , when’s the next Q and A, been loving those !
friday at 3 EST
Do you have a lower back workout with resistance bands
I'm going on the road as a regional trucker so gyms won't be as accessible as they have been. My question is if I should still use a preworkout while using resistance bands as an alternative?
Hey John. I’ve been lifting weights for about 9 years and I’ve made slow and steady progress throughout. I’m trying to find a program to help get to the next level. Do you think your Creeping Death 2 program would be the best option? Or one of your other programs?
What would you suggest for the lower back
Number 5 looks too light for you coach John think you need some heavier weight for that pull maybe a truck 😉💪👍 enjoyed that have a good day bro
Hello john, I was wondering about your back width article on T Nation, do you think Heavy partial pullups/downs and lat stretchers can elongate muscle bellies in time ? I am going to specialize them with 5 sets each in the next days. Let me know your opinion.
