TRT didn't kill him, and most likely wouldn't have done anything to accelerate his cardiac issues, what he did prior would have. He could have even taken TRT after getting the device put in.  as something i have contemplated myself what i meant was he should have accepted the cardiac advice and had the device put in, no retired bodybuilder wants a device inserted in their pec, it means the ride that is over is really over as it will effect your training etc, my TRT is run with my cardiologist on board, he thought it was a good idea as my natural levels were compromised by age and exogenous use a long time ago. But when or if he taps me on the shoulder one day and says i think you should underwrite the cardiac risk with a device, im saying yes not getting a second opinion. I just hope I get the opportunity to choose, many people dont.

Well said.

If my friend who passed recently told me his cardiologist recommended a device and he opted against it, I’d have punched some sense into him. Electrical issues with the heart can happen at anytime and cardiac arrest can be sudden death.

My buddy dropped from 3 clogged arteries and we were waiting on his bloods just a week before he passed. No sign of issues.

We disagree.  Without consequence.

Do you disagree that Meadows was mentally invested in being big and could not give it up no matter the cost?  That is the decision that had consequence.

That I agree with

Guy had serious health issues going back to 2005, that would have made him only 33 years old at the time

Maybe should have let off the gas during that time

Not true. John already built up a huge following, he was informative, and knowledgeable. Nobody was watching for his lifts

People watch Charles Glass all the time, he looks barely 150 pounds

If you built up a following, and have great knowledge, and content, you’ll go real far

Ronnie, Levrone, Larry, O Hearn, that’s a different story, people only watch them mainly for their lifts

Thought you guys were smarter than that

Smarter that that?  Dude, I'm so dumb that I swear to you that first time I read that sentence, I thought it was written about two people:

Ronnie Levrone, and
Larry O'Hearn

 :P :-[

They're probably friends with Ray Cutler...

He may be natty, but he is a freak of nature, walking around like an anatomy chart year around, and he has small joints which accentuates his modest size, he probably have 17 inch arms which seem to ready to burst open his skin, his back has more detail than gray's...
I don't think off the sauce Meadows would have a similar physique at same bodyweight.

This is a really good video
I think anyone who watches it will agree that John lived up to his own standards

TRT or self-medicating and strict diet.

His advices are lots of bro-science.

Has a large following of syncophants who pay him homage.

Tru dat.

Word on the street is he's kicked COVID's ass like Chuck Norris, and is now angling for Co-Lead in the Rocks next big movie: "Pink Rock".  It's a tender exploration of a hugely over-muscular modern man who is unafraid to (secretly) pin himself with PEDs multiple times per week while openly wearing manscara - and a touch of rouge - while baby-sitting homeless children who are being bullied about their gender-fluidity by the local heteronormative Russian Mafia..."

Apparently Big Mike O'Hearn was thinking about auditioning, but in the end he just didn't have the balls...

I agree with you. Arthur Jones articles and old vids are still popular. And if he were alive today and had a Youtube channel it would be widely popular.

Not exactly a muscle man.

He's mostly full of sh*t with a smattering of college anatomy class.

Many.  I like when he brings out the skeleton.

Also reading the comments where his fans tell him how wonderful he is.

He's making bank but still full of bs.

Just heard John got the vaccine and a month later he died,  wonder if that had anything to do with this.

Apparently even death can't stop Meadows from posting videos
