Episode # 022: Training Program Review - John Meadows‘ Mountain Dog Training

In this episode we discuss John Meadows' training programs, which have come to be known as Mountain Dog training.  John, who recently passed away, was one of the most well-respected individuals in the bodybuilding and training industry, and he will be sorely missed.  His style of training is focused on hypertrophy and maximal development of muscle mass.  We discuss the key elements of his programs as well as our own experiences with his and similar programs.
