Good guy but a physique like that would have never turned pro in the late 90's and early 2000's

Had some kind of disease where they had to remove a portion  of his intestines.

Dude trains like an insane man, takes boatloads of gear and eats only the finest grass-fed beef. And yet...

They will award guys like John a pro card for no other reason than the fact they've been doing it for so long.

Palumbo should start competing again, he's long overdue

He vehemently claims to be one of the healthiest competitive bodybuilders. Says his blood-work always come back perfect. Claims to be very conservative with his gear usage.

I can't help but be skeptical.

He was cut open more than once because of an intestinal disease and is missing his large intestine, I believe. He said he had some nerve damage which makes it difficult for him to control his mid-section when posing.
Really happy for the dude, he's been grinding away for a very long time and finally made it. Way to go John!

Kudos to Meadows. Very down to earth guy. His training principles have worked well for me. It is nice to see a guy who has a life outside of bodybuilding/fitness that can also speak intelligently. Trains harder than 95% pros out there.

Wow, didn't know that. I came in here to shit on the guy (not the first time) but hell, gotta give him some props there. Conditioning seems on point, shape isn't complete shit by modern standards...

Too bad for bodybuilding.sports has  become over crowded with genetically inferior people try to reach the top with hormone abuse.any 65kg genetically gifted bodybuilder with 5% of his stack would crush him on stage.

Almost as freaky as the great Dave Palumbo who has done so much for the sport.
