Couldn't agree more with all these points. The guys I work with are completely different men by the time we're done working with each other. Not just because their body has changed, but because their entire knowledge about health & fitness is on a whole new level. People, if you want to change your body, get a coach!

Hi John It’s always an immense pleasure for me to tune into your videos and to hear Hi everybody John Meadows here! It’s so motivating in itself and that’s before you get into the content of the video subject. It’s so refreshing to see and hear a person especially in these times who’s telling it like it is without any drama and agenda and I and I’m sure many others thank you for it. Suffice to say you restore faith in human nature. Many thanks John. Jim Harrison. Cheshire UK.

@moniquegooding6179 2 года назад

I really agree with all this! I know since I stopped having a coach the accountability is really hard for me with diet more than anything- lifting not really a problem. I definitely look best first thing in the morning fasted and not so good once fluids and food is consumed still messes with my head lol - finding a good coach sooooooo important! Wish I had one now! I think with the right one competing or not so many benefits.

I have recently re-vamped my training because of your videos and am training as hard as ever I have studied the words and tape of many great people and have learned invaluable lessons and information. The training without a coach part really rang true to me, as I have made a lot of progress on my own without having a training partner as well. (Natural, 6 years in, 6’2” 218lbs, 12-14%% bf) I can only assume that you have really helped a lot of people learn and start to take things seriously. Thank you for all of the work you have put in to help people!

@Magic_beans_ 2 года назад

6:02 That’s probably the best use case I have for a coach. I read a bunch, I stick to my workouts, I know how to adjust my macros, I just need someone who can give me a reality check when my weight spikes and I start to panic.

@dirtylumberjack8569 2 года назад

I agree man i was coming off an injury and super un motivated. My diet was also aweful. I reached out to a friend who is a coach. We talked about everything and i signed up. The accountability and meal plan itself was worth the money. Im in the best shape I've been in since highschool, and im almost 40

@littlefinkle7757 2 года назад

I have coach John Meadows daily! Great information John, point on! Now that my son is back to football full swing it is hard to motivate myself to continue to push without him going to the gym with me.

@clamum9648 2 года назад

When I started working out at the beginning of last year, with the goal of gaining muscle/weight, I decided to get a trainer at the gym too. I could've just started on my own but I have the money to hire someone so I thought it would give me the best chance of attaining my goals. You can watch RU-vid videos, from people like John, and that's a great resource but it's definitely not the same as having someone there right next to you to help and guide you. The accountability is also a big reason but I didn't have an issue at all with that for the first year cause I wanted to succeed so badly. But this year I've been slacking; I just am really struggling to eat enough and so it doesn't really matter what the heck I do in the gym, if you don't eat enough you're not gonna gain nothing. Overall I'm glad I got a trainer. I have him until the end of this year and I'll go on my own then but I can definitely see myself going back to him to overcome a plateau. I gained 35 total pounds last year and I'd like to do another 20 lbs or so but that fricking appetite is just killing me.

Lee Iacocca leader of Chrysler for many years when ask about his success once said in an interview and I am paraphrasing here " I failed 99 out of 100 times but I never stopped trying" He was in the car industry so failing was huge. Failing to maintain your health and diet and fitness just means a miserable end of life and I have seen plenty go through that. I got a trainer for 3 months to get the feel of things and he was a very young person. While training I read the trainer certifications and studied watching tons of videos like John here and learning to ignore anything based on social media and Instagram. I follow Jeff Nippard and John and will be learning always with these two for a very long time.

Good video, always raced triathlon better with a coach. 1 accountability 2 realistic goal setting based off training. It really makes me want help with body recomp, but I don’t plan on competing so it’s hard sell for myself. I’m exactly where you say. I’m at that last 5-10%. 60-90 days of mental toughness I’m failing myself where a coach would probably keep me more on task.

Great video John. There is an IFBB Pro who works as a coach and does personal training at the local Golds Gym. He's 212 at contest time like you are. While in the gym I hear him doing a lot of training with people who are extremely out of shape. Most of his clients are morbidly obese and have very little muscle mass.. It seems like all he really does is have people on machines doing RPEs of one for 10 reps and for one set. I know he doesn't train that way. He's really personable and it seems like he really makes his clients enjoy their time. It seems like he really likes it as well. It just really seems to me that it would be a lot more fun to train people who are professional or at least into it a little bit. My hat is off to him but I don't know how he does it.

I would like to ask how you recognize that you passed the beginner state i think it cant be measure in years because someone can go only trough motion 3 years and someone can train hard even from beginning and learn form and really be in love with fitness how you can recognize that in that situation when you are beginner or not.

@kylewilliams9907 2 года назад

Question. When do you think given the issues we all (seems like anyway) have that last bit of prep is the time that a coach is needed? I personally know very well how to diet. I went from 266 to 193 on stage on July 10th. I know what works to get pretty lean, what I don't know, and can't seem to figure out is that last bit. A good example in hindsight, doing the conservative rice cakes and PB after weigh-ins left me still abysmally flat on stage, and I really don't know what I should have done to rectify it. So I guess the crux is, what's the shortest time you can really get to know a client's body and what works so that you're in a position to really dial it the final week.

@@BaldOmniMan I know what you mean. Most coaches are just people that are too lazy to work so they try and cash in by parroting someone else's info. I see people that just started working out and within 6 months they're all of a sudden a coach, charging people money, and all they do is hand out a copy of their diet from their coach. Pathetic.

Do you believe it's a legitimate business model in the upcoming future etc. Because mister i believe you are not only motivating your watchers for training.
