John Meadows Biography – John Meadows Wiki

John “Mountain Dog” Meadows was an American professional bodybuilder, trainer, coach, nutritionist, and owner of Granite Supplements and Mountain Dog Diet. His certifications include Capital University BA in Health and Fitness Management, CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist), and CISSN (Certified Sports Nutritionist from the International Society of Sports Nutrition).

Throughout his early schooling days, John became involved in a variety of sports. Some of his favorites included baseball, American football, track, and wrestling.

When he was 13, John moved to Columbus, Ohio. It was during his time in Columbus when John discovered the bodybuilding lifestyle. One day, he was visiting a store with his grandmother when his eyes fell upon a fitness and bodybuilding magazine.

Looking through the magazine, John became fascinated with the muscular physiques he saw. As he said; “My favorite sections were the kinesiology articles where they showed diagrams instead of photos, and explained muscle function. Those articles fascinated me, and I suppose that showed that I was really interested in how muscles work and how to get the best out of them.”

As a result of his new-found interest, John soon started lifting weights at the gym. At the time, he played school sports which involved weightlifting. Because of this, he would first train with his sports team, then go to the gym to train on his own.

In 1985, at the age of 13, John entered his first bodybuilding contest. It was the Mr. Buckeye competition for teens, which featured three other participants aged 14-17. As the youngest and least developed of all the competitors, John took the last place that day.

Speaking about the experience, he said: “At 119 pounds, I got fourth out of four. I don’t really have a lot of recollection on how I prepared for it, other than people told me not to drink water for the last day or two. I remember just having a couple of ice cubes now and then. That was pretty much all the liquid I got.”

In 2005, it was discovered John had a rare and serious colon disease. While in the hospital, John’s colon burst and he started bleeding to death. He was quickly rushed to an emergency room where the doctors managed to save his life.

He underwent colon surgery. As a result of the surgery, John had his entire colon removed. Fortunately, after months of recovery, John’s agony was over. He slowly returned to lifting weights, and later, competing in bodybuilding.

Two years after his colon surgery, John came back into competitive bodybuilding. His comeback show was the 2007 IFBB North American Championships, where he took 16th place. As John’s experience in bodybuilding grew, he began competing in the National Shows. By winning such a contest, John would secure himself the famous Pro Card.

After years of competing, and 14 attempts at winning the Pro Card, John finally realized his goal. He earned his Professional status at the 2015 NPC Universe, where he took the overall 1st place. He made his Pro Debut the same year, taking the top 5 place in the 2015 Vancouver Pro.

“If I say I want to do something, we’ll talk about it, make sure it’s workable and then she gets behind me and supports the idea and me all the way. And when I’m hurting the last three or four weeks of my diet, she sees the look on my face and says, “Just hang in there, it’s going to be worth it.” And I need to hear that at that stage.”
