Best John has ever looked at a show. That's all he needs to think about. Just being on stage with the best and most elite genetics in the world is an achievement in and of itself. He's a legend in the sport for more reasons than his placings, imo. Just my 2 cents.
A guy I mod with at another site was at the Arnold and right there watching the 212 class, and he had John top 5, and not last. He doesn't really know John, so his opinion is not based off of any bias or anything either.
John got robbed and despite his placing, he continually hits a new personal best each time he steps on stage! Always improving, always humble...the sport of bodybuilding needs more John Meadows!
When you make the top 5 in a regional show your a competitive bodybuilding, when you make the top 5 at a national show your a stud, when you win the overall and turn PRO your a great bodybuilder. John Meadows is a great Bodybuilder! Look how crisp and lean he is....crazy!
